Oz, don’t you love me? My whole life, I’ve never loved anything else.
This scene always made me wonder if Xander had some latent magical ability. I felt like it was a little clue that he could have done a little something. Not full witch but maybe a caster.
Original Scoobies as D&D Party Members [Insp]
∟
“A party member requires assistance, and it is our duty to provide that assistance.”
“Well, a-a person’s energy has a flow… a unity? Buffy’s was… was fragmented; it-it-it grated, like something forced in where it doesn’t belong.”
I always wondered what Tara saw when she saw people’s auras….and so I spent part of today creating visuals…because yeah.
So the first one, I went off what Tara described with Faith inside Buffy’s body. I tried to make it seem frenetic, grating and shattered. There is a thin line of gold, Buffy’s slayer aura, which is being shattered by the overwhelming red of Faith’s aura.
The second, I always imagined Tara was able to sense that Dawn had injured herself before she even saw it, because when someone is injured their aura grates around the injury. It sends out high pitched vibrations, immediately telling an empath that something is very wrong. So Tara would have felt/heard it before she even saw. Dawn is upset, but her demeanor is relatively calm, so her aura stays fairly still.
The third, Buffy has an outer aura of gold, which is her slayer aura, but Buffy’s human aura, hidden, trapped inside, is desperately unhappy. It blinks slowly, Buffy feels like giving up, feels trapped and scared and sad and confused. The vibrations are slow, and drag downwards, making Tara, the empath, feel as though her body is being pulled down as well.
The fourth, from OMwF, is Willow. I always imagine to Tara, because Willow is her soulmate, Willow’s aura shines the brightest of anyone. Here, there is such strong feeling of love, such a strong feeling of Willow being at ease, that her aura vibrates because it’s so active. It would feel distinctly different than the grating vibration of Faith in Buffy’s body, or the high pitched feel of an injury. The sound/feeling would be a low pitched hum, and feeling of warmth, like being in sunshine.
How I envision the first time Buffy met Spike after his resurrection.
I feel like Anya could have offered so much more. Like you know how when you’re learning a foreign language you have to talk to locals because they’re some things you just can’t learn in a text book? Slang, customs, etc? Anya should have been that for demons. Giles is like “the demonic ritual includes the still-beating heart of a virgin” and Anya is like “Oh, that’s not a necessary requirement. It was just a cool thing to throw in back in the day. Adds to the ambiance.”
Agreed.
