Re: Riley has grown on me over the years

[(Anonymous)]

I agree with all of this. I really like Riley, and I am so tired of running into fic that makes him out to be so horrible.

I do think one of the things that got the whole vampire biting addition started with Riley was that it threw him for a loop when Buffy let Dracula bite her. With Angel, well, he knew they had been in love. But the Dracula business was a whole other thing. And then he gets in a bad place emotionally because of all the other stuff going on, and there's kind of been this little wondering in the back of his mind "what is it with this whole vampire biting thing"? So when the female vamp hits on him, he's like why not? In a vulnerable moment, he makes a bad choice. And then it's just downhill from there.

On Buffy's side - I don't think it was just about her mother. I think the bigger issue was the Dawn/Key thing. Buffy was hiding this whole huge secret from everyone but Giles, and I think that's part of what Riley was picking up on from her. Not that I'm blaming her - I adore Buffy. But I also think that people who hate on Riley for what happened are way oversimplifying the whole situation.

I completely agree with you here. I love Buffy too. I think she's a great character. But when she shuts Riley out of what's going on with Dawn, he picks up on that. You know when your partner is keeping something from you. And I know she had a lot of reasons to do so, but it really damaged their relationship.

I think you're right about the allure too. I mean, at that point, every person Riley was hanging out with had had a relationship with a supernatural person--vampire, werewolf, witch, vengeance demon. There was some natural curiosity mixed in with head being in a bad place.
