[@kc5997]

Fuffy verse vindicated!

[@casbot71]

And the episode in Angell where she first comes to LA [Five by Five] and goes on a rampage … her going with Lila outside a club. Apparently the director had notes from FOX _not to allow Eliza_ to play it "too gay", as she wanted it to appear that Faith was being gay for pay with the rich businesswoman, but only now that she was borderline psychotic she went violence instead. And when you think about it, even with just the background character material established then, Faith had been living on the streets by herself for most of her teenage years, so she would've done a lot of "work". And a person that highly sexualised would definitely try bi.

[@jpierce8148]

I mean, aside from their rivalry, Buffy and Faith were somewhat friends at least until Faith got lost to evil. But at the end, the two hold a mutual respect for one another. Buffy always knew Faith had so much more potential. She was like a big sister to Faith (hence the sister references, aside from the Dawn foreshadowing) That's why she doesn't hesitate to pass the torch to Faith in the final battle when she gets hurt. Faith probably looked up to Buffy as a mentor but she just was so young and misguided to admit it until season 7

[@johnwang9914]

Whedon really wanted to bring in LBQT themes in starting with Xander and finally ending with Willow. I suspect he was playing with trying such themes with every character. He's famous for planning ahead but I think he just has a lot of pokes in the fire and a lot of possibilities being experimented with. Buffy's growing separation and distrust of everything and everyone would've played well into such themes. Pity, the Whedon toxic work environment and misogyny issue has tainted his work now.

[@johnwang9914]

@@sheltondaal6425 I think Whedon was just playing with a lot of possibilities to see how well each played. The first gay theme was in season 1 when he joined the swim team to find out why they were being turned into fish monsters, that and the class bully that bullied Xander wound up coming out as gay. The Willow theme came out much later with her doppelganger being the first indications. I'm sure the Buffy and Faith was just more exploration into whether or not to bring in such themes with those characters. Everyone says Whedon plans well in advance, I think he just tries out a lot of ideas and has everything in play to see what works. He wanted such themes but was uncertain which characters to do it with.

The actors played it like they were attracted to each other and the writers later said they totally see it. But if you want actual representation, this show had the first ever long running wholesome lesbian relationship in TV between main characters! And the first ever lesbian kiss on network TV :) Buffy the vampire slayer. It’s available on Disney plus and Amazon prime.

The scene where Faith kisses Buffy on the forehead was meant to be a kiss on the lips but the censors wouldn't allow it.

Being a massive Buffy fan and then having Eliza Dushku in the show....I truly didn't know which one I thought was hotter lmao. Man, to me this is still my #1 show of all time, I've watched it so many times and each time I think damn what an amazing show this was. Glad I was a kid in the 90s/early 2000s and got to watch in real time!

[@tomwotton9]

Ok I have to watch this show again, cos I don’t remember any of this!

[@skynetprime82]

The funniest part of this video was when faith drew the heart on the window 🤣

[@user-gm501]

The pairing we deserved

[@nessyness5447]

God no, faith was a very toxic person, it would have been the worst possible representation. Willow and tara were much better.

[@emgardo]

please i love them so much-

[@selenawang1370]

Yep, just gal pals being regular good old girls, doing the regular girl “stuff”

[@pierluigiguerriero2296]

When Faith becomes evil for at least a short time, it breaks my heart! How can you not love this girl, She has nothing wrong with her! In fact, she and Buffy would make a nice couple too - nowhere is it written that she has to be with a man especially if Faith is there!

(I really can't stay) But, Buffy, it's cold outside (I've got to go slay) But, Buffy, it's cold outside (This evening has been) Was hoping you'd ask me in (So very nice) I've heard vamp hands are just like ice (My mother she loves to worry) B, c’mon, what's your hurry (My watcher will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar (So really I'd better scurry) B, c’mon, please don't hurry (Well, maybe just half a nog more) I’ll put some leather on while you pour (The neighbors might think) B, there’s a big bad out there (Hey did you just wink) The alleys are dark out there (I wish I knew how) Who knows what monsters prowl (To braid your hair) I'll take your stake, just stay right there (I ought to say no to this tryst) Don’t you wanna kick the gearshift (At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense we’re gal pals for life (I really can't stay) I think you’re patrolled out [Both] Ah, but it's cold outside (So, Faith... thanks again for... the gifts.) 'Tis the season... whatever *that* means

[@AzguardMike]

funny how women call that song toxic and sexist, about the singer (tom jones originally, but in your version Faith) basically kidnapping the girl (in your case Buffy) and raping her. That said, love the lyric change you did. Thumbs up

[@elliest55]

@@AzguardMike Not my lyrics! That's an actual song/adaptation by Buffering the Vampire Slayer (Jenny Owen Youngs) - you can find it here on KZbin as "Buffy it's cold outside". The original song is unfortunately quite problematic (he is pushing her, forcing her to stay, it is implied that he's trying to keep her there by getting her drunk...). But hopefully it can be reclaimed and repurposed thus.

I didn’t know I needed this in my life, but thank you

[@trayweathersby7490]

Imagine if they made Buffy gay and not Willow

[@benwasserman8223]

Technically the comics made Buffy bicurious.

[@AzguardMike]

she bangs a asian woman and slags off Angel and Spike, she might as well be waving the pride flag and yelling "im here, im queer!"

[@meris8486]

Always thought Faith was into Buffy, it's funny how the showrunners didn't seem to realise what they'd done, if this was made today they'd make a bigger deal about it.

[@madelaki]

It's that much sweeter when it's kept subtle/offscreen/implied.

[@meris8486]

@@madelaki I think both approaches have benefits. It depends what the story is about

Did anyone else have the urge to say "BULL****" at 0:11?

omgg why did i never notice the TENSION!!

[@BB-or8gi]

How did I NOT pick up on this as a gay teen? I watched this in the late 90s and early 2000s when it was on television.
