withoutpassionwedbetrulydead:buffytags:buffytags:rebekkahmikaelson-archive-deact:vamp!willow / dark!willow#i always think of this in relation to buffy assuring willow her vamp self is not a reflection of her real self #and angel being all ‘well actually…’ #which always seems to be attached to her sexuality rather than THIS #like the early seasons acted as though the vampire is a new person but then we see so clearly that they aren’t #they’re all evil but there are so many levels of it #like harmony was always a follower in life #and then in ats she’s basically good while working for team angel #vamp!willow was so bad and at the time it’s crazy because she’s so sweet #then three seasons later we see that exact same darkness is a part of her #soul or no soul (via adventuresshecouldneverhave)#i love this parallel so freaking much #what a brilliant piece of characterisation #to introduce vamp!willow as an apparent foil #to everything willow stands for #and then slowly reveal that she does in fact have that darkness in her #until suddenly it’s our willow saying it #but now she’s seen the true evils of the world #and they have devastated and consumed her #so she says it to warren #and then flays him alive #and suddenly it’s not so funny anyore (via taraduende)#like willow is all about power and control #thats why she’s so good at being a witch because she’s able to control spells #and she uses all of it for her own personal gain its to help save the world sometimes but its a lot about how it can help HER #and i love willow for it #and then her s7 ‘redemption arc’ which was the worst redemption arc ive ever seen came along and ruined it #willow is bad!! willow can be bad!! it doesn’t mean she isn’t also good (via @bisexualcordelia)I never thought about it this way, but I LOVE it -- source link
