that episode angers me so much and i remember when i first watched it and i went on forums to see if anyone else was pissed and they all blamed buffy! the stupidity

willowrosenboob:

ugh honestly dead man’s party is so bad I can’t stand to watch it. I don’t know how anyone is able to sympathize with joyce, xander, and willow more than with buffy (though thankfully I haven’t yet come across forms like what you describe and I hope I never will). I think I struggle to understand joyce the most. like, joycey, you were the one who impulsively kicked her out of your house with absolutely no way for you to contact her to tell her her didn’t mean it. you put this on yourself.

it honestly pisses me off how little responsibility she takes for the situation. sometimes I even wonder if she told giles and the scoobies that she kicked buffy out.

and then at the end of the episode they don’t even work out their issues. we’re supposed to believe they’re all friends again because they slayed some monsters together. this is absolutely shitty storytelling and character writing oh my god. their issues from this episode are never properly resolved and buffy is the one who’s supposed to take all the blame for all of this, despite how absolutely horrible everyone else was being to her.

anyways

I HATE HATE HATE THIS EPISODE

good morning I just woke up obsessed with the idea of a movie filmed in the style of a true crime documentary except it’s in the Twilight universe and a bunch of completely ordinary humans are trying to figure out why Bella effectively disappeared after high school without knowing anything about vampires

let’s review the Facts of the Case as far as anyone who’s not in on the secret knows them

  • super normal teenage girl moves to small town
  • becomes obsessed with a guy who by all appearances is in a cult
  • the incident where they dramatically broke up and Bella tried to go back to Phoenix but Edward followed her and they got back together but also Bella’s leg got mysteriously broken
  • another dramatic breakup and this time the entire family skips town leaving Bella catatonically depressed
  • sudden trip to Italy??? and then the entire family comes back???
  • Whatever Happened In Eclipse I Don’t Remember 
  • Bella marries boyfriend of approx. a year and a half, goes away on an exotic vacation and immediately contracts a life threatening disease
  • is rarely seen in public again until her mysterious death, which if I’m remembering correctly is a thing?? because Bella was pretty sure her mom wouldn’t be able to handle the vampire thing and that they were going to have to fake a death which is!! fucked UP
  • also apparently the Cullens haven’t ever bothered with, like, changing their names, so if anyone goes poking around they’re easily going to discover a family of seven rich weirdos moving around various overcast cities together for at least a century 
  • tell me you wouldn’t watch this shit 

highlights:

  • generic Missing White Woman opening that rapidly spirals into interviews Bella’s hilarious tacky high school classmates talking shit about the Cullens (Mike Newton’s Time To Shine)
  • Charlie (who Knows) uncomfortably lying to the camera about how of course he’s Very Sad about all of this and misses his daughter a whole lot. the crew immediately begins speculating about Charlie’s involvement.
  • a few scenes shot in Italy. the voice over concludes that there are no clues to be found there while a Volturi member hovers very obviously in the background for the audience’s enjoyment 
  • testimonies about Carlisle’s character that end with the interviewee getting distracted thinking how hot he was, including Charlie 
  • a segment trying to figure out what the Fuck Jacob’s involvement is followed by a montage of werewolves slamming their front doors in the crew’s faces
  • a brief mention of the murder spree that happened in Seattle during Bella’s senior year but quickly shrugging it off as DEFINITELY unrelated to any of this 
  • trying to dig into where the Cullens lived before Forks and quickly realizing that None Of These Children Existed Before the Age of Seventeen
  • briefly toying with a kidnapping scenario before stumbling onto a record of the Cullens in some other town that’s JUST old enough to be inconsistent with the ages they were supposed to be in Forks
  • “wait I think all the kids were actually in their twenties, maybe?”
  • “wait what the fUCK?”
