buffy and giles – shesaheroyousee

prentissjareaus:

Monsters don’t usually send messages. It’s pretty much
crush, kill, destroy. This was different.

spaceslayer:

If it’s guilt you’re looking for, Buffy, I’m not your man. All you will get from me is my support. And my respect.

I like how this shows two things
1: Buffy is never here for your male Watcher bullshit
and
2: how Buffy and Giles’ relationship has grown and changed

jaredmisha:

I wish I could say the right words, to lead you through this land.
Wish I could play the father, and take you by the hand.

Favorite Buffy moments:

“It’s not over…I suppose you know that. [Angelus will] come after you particularly. His profile…he’s likely to strike out at the things that made him the most human.”

watcherspet:

Your affection for your charge has rendered you incapable of clear and impartial judgement. You have a father’s love for the child, and that is useless to the cause.

#OK but I have a lot of feelings about this #because even as early as s1; when Giles was still at Peak Stuffy Brit™#his greatest fear was Buffy’s death #he considered it his DUTY to protect her #that’s his MO whenever she’s in trouble #not train her; not prepare her (and I mean yes he does consider it his job to do this obvs but the first thing out of his mouth is always)#PROTECT HER #and it’s not until Helpless that we learn that this is not the norm for Watchers #in fact #according to Travers; this is a detriment #a flaw #the Slayers aren’t children #they’re tools #they’re not meant to be protected #they’re meant to be used up and discarded; one after the other #and maybe it’s different for Watchers who actually have a Slayer (if Giles’ words about the Watchers’ diaries in s5 are correct)#but maybe it’s not #basically what I’m getting at is #Giles was always different #he tried to walk the walk back in s1 #but he has a rebellious heart #and so when the Watcher’s Council assigned him a Slayer to train (to use up and discard like all the others that had come before her)#with the implicit understanding that he would not get attached let alone develop a love for her #Giles took one look at this tiny blonde moppet #who had already Seen Too Much #and went: THIS IS MY NEW DAUGHTER AND IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO HER I’LL KILL EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN AND THEN MYSELF #because #as i’ve been saying:#giles is buffy’s dad #btvs (@flaminganakin)
