January 4 - Something about Buffy Anne Summers

January 4th is my birthday so i'm picking that. and i would like to hear anything you have to say about buffy anne summers for queenofattolia

Happy Birthday! queenofattolia!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it's titular heroine, Buffy Anne Summers was very formative for me and to this day I don't think anyone can shake her status as My Forever Girl.

Buffy is given such enormous responsibility and it's just amazing to watch her grow and struggle and win... and sometimes not win, which are also important moments. And God, the excitement of watching season 2 unfold for the very first time and see her struggle through that season and win in the end, with cost.

The first time that Sarah Mclachlan song came on, I started crying. Like, legit crying. Season 1 was fun and I liked the show but oh, season 2... that was a game-changer for me. And Sarah Michelle Gellar was a revelation! I am still sad we didn't get more SMG on TV because she's so GOOD. (Although post-Buffy SMG was weirdly stereotyped in very humorless roles).

I know there are so many other characters who were modeled on Buffy and they're all great and special in their on way, Buffy Summers still holds a very special place in my heart.

And to end it, here is 30 minutes of Buffy being, according to the YouTubes, iconic!
