[headphones + 1080pHD]
Happy 21st anniversary to the beginning of Buffy! I didn't get my #SHIELD100 vid finished in time, but I managed to meet this anniversary.
This is pretty simple, but I just wanted to take the time to explore that constant battle in Buffy, the dichotomy between what her life is and what it ought to be. I got to use some scenes and quotes that I never normally use, so this was really fun!
Character: Buffy Summers;
Fandom: BtVS;

“Buffy Summers?”
“Miss Summers?”
“There isn’t much time, you must come with me, your destiny awaits.”
“I don’t have a destiny, I’m destiny-free, really.”
“Oh, why can’t you people just leave me alone?”
“Because you are the Slayer.”
“You are the Chosen One, you alone can stop them.”
“Who?”
“The vampires.”
“Why don’t you kill them?”
“A Slayer slays, a Watcher-”
“Watches?”
“Yes - no! H-he trains her, he prepares her.”
“Prepares me for what? For getting kicked out of school? For losing all of my friends? For having to spend all of my time fighting for my life and never getting to tell anyone because I might endanger them? Go ahead, prepare me.”
“Well, it stops now!”
“No, it doesn’t stop. It never stops! D-do you think I chose to be like this? Do you have any idea how lonely it is, how dangerous? I would love to be upstairs watching tv, or gossiping about boys, or, god, even studying! But I have to save the world, again!”
“I don’t even get why you care about Homecoming when you’re doing stuff like this?”
“Because this is all I do. This is what my life is.”
“You are the Slayer, lives depend upon you!”
“Everybody’s looking to me, trusting me to lead them, and I’ve never felt so alone in my entire life.”
“Buffy, you have to get up! We need you!”
“And that’s you, every day, isn’t it?”
“I could pick up a yearbook some day and say I was there, I went to high school, I had friends, and for one moment, I got to live in the world.”
“You have a sacred birth right, Buffy. You’ve been chosen to destroy vampires not to wave pom-poms at people.”
“And it’d be proof - proof that I was chosen for something other than this.”
“Maintaining a normal social life as a Slayer, i-it’s problematic at best!”
“I will still have time to fight the forces of evil, okay? I just wanna have a life! I wanna do something normal, something safe.”
“Clark Kent has a job, I just wanna go on a date!”
“I was afraid of this.”
“Well, I wasn’t. It’s my first day! I was afraid that I was gonna be behind in all my classes, that I wouldn’t make any friends, that I’d have last month’s hair! I didn’t think there’d be vampires on campus. And I don’t care!”
“Then why are you here?”
“I don’t care!”
“I quit.”
“If Dawn dies, I’m done.”
“It’s not that simple.”
“I’m making it that simple!”
“I’m quitting.”
“I quit! I resign! I-I’m fired! You can find someone else to stop the Master from taking over.”
“I’m not sure that anyone else can.”
“How’d you do that?”
“It’s what I do.”
“But y-you’re just a girl.”
“That’s what I keep saying.”
“I’m starting to feel like being the Slayer is turning me into stone. To slay, to kill, it means being hard on the inside. Maybe being a perfect Slayer means being too hard to love at all.”
“You think we haven’t all seen this before?”
“I’m sorry!”
“The part where you just cut us all out? Just step away from everything human and act like you’re the law?”
“We are not talking about this.”
“Yes, we bloody well are!”
“I guess I’m starting to understand why there’s no ancient prophecy about a Chosen One and her friends.”
“My life happens to, on occasion, suck beyond the telling of it.”
“Giles, I’m sixteen years old.”
“Sometimes more than I can handle.”
“I don’t wanna die.”
“It’s always complicated, and at some point, someone has to draw the line, and that is always going to be me! Y-You get down on me for cutting myself off but in the end, the Slayer is always cut off. There’s no mystical guidebook, no all-knowing Council, human rules don’t apply! There’s only me. I am the law.”
“I’ve always cut myself off from others. I’ve always - Being the Slayer made me different, but it’s my fault I stayed that way. People are always trying to connect to me, and I just slip away.”
NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED, MADE FOR FUN.
this show was my childhood, and my teen years were filled with veronica mars. I was lucky to have two complicated, brave, funny and incredible women to look up to.
MY TWO FAVORITE SHOWS!
It was so much for one person to handle. She did it so gracefully.
This show helped me deal with having mental illness as a teenager. My illness cut me off from school, from friends, from my family, from everything familiar and threw me into this world that terrified me and I didn’t know how to deal with. I related to her so much on that level.
same
I started watching Buffy and I'm still young.. But Buffy inspired me and so many more people to be as strong as they can even when they're broken, or even want to stop doing what they have to, including school. But Buffy and other characters in the show have inspired many kids and teenagers not to give up.
After all these years, whenever I'm going through a tough time I look for Buffy clips.
Totally with that!
Me too 🤗😘
And that's precisely why I'm here. Thank you Buffy
Exactly why I'm here now!!
@@justcarrie89 buffy will save your day my friend 🤗😁. But seriously, hope you will feel much better soon, lots of love 😘
It is sad to see her struggles everyone thought she was so perfect and had no struggles but in truth she was the one to struggle the most so when everyone was going at her for doing her job I was like man buffy fight because in truth in season 6 she was broken, sad alone and depressed and coming to grips with the fact that their is a darkness in her and that she has changed and her accepting death as her gift more and more and season 7 was her stepping to be a leader when no one else would I mean they voted for faith but she was never a leader and yes buffy was tough and she made mistakes but no one is perfect she was right about the weapon and Caleb so when they all turn against her I was like damn bitches she saved all of your lives u don’t deserve her help
I agree! Poor Faith never even wanted to be the leader, but she was never afraid to challenge Buffy and then all of B's friends turned on her. That scene upsets me so much. I struggle with seasons 6 and 7 because Buffy is so damaged and sad in both of them. I just want her to be okay. What a life she led, and her courage knew no bounds.
The show highlighted that just because someone's life looks perfect on the outside, it can be filled with strife and violence. It's a good metaphor for Facebook honestly.
It’s even more sad knowing they pulled her out heaven into a harsh reality again she was happy but they ripped her out and suffered for it
I was actually hoping buffy would get a bit petty and throw in their faces that it was their fault all of this was happening because they brought her back from the dead and set it in motion all this crap for her to deal with from the first including getting beat by the Uber vamp twice and nearly dying again because of it
I actually see Buffys harshness on them as a necessity because they clearly weren’t taking the situation seriously until she gave them a harsh speech.
Okay now THIS is how a character study is done. Wow, incredible work!!!?
thank you so much
Its almost 3 in the morning and I should be getting ready for work and yet I’m here crying over this edit and how much I miss buffy wow
honestly crying over buffy @ 3am is my eternal mood
You did such an amazing job at showing how being a slayer really hardened Buffy in the end. It's almost heartbreaking to watch in full like this. This video has all of the feels.
aw thank you!!
You've just reminded me why I love this character so much, it was the best tribute ever. I'm so grateful to this lady and to the show and its characters in general. Thanks for sharing it. xx
thank you, you're so kind!
Sweet Giles merciful, this encompasses the hardest, coldest thing at the heart of slaying while simultaneously reminding us of Buffy's humanity and gods above and below, how can this show be so darn incredible?
Amazing video. Excellent job!
thank you!
Every few months when I'm feeling down I watch this beautiful work and I'm reminded of why I have to keep moving forward.
thank you!
It saddened's me that she has to go through this.she said in her own word's being a slayer is like turning her into stone. And that I have to agree with
A series of my childhood! I still remember how I wanted to be like Buffy! I love this show! And it was so nice to watch this video! Such nastalgia! I want more of these videos! Thanks for this! It's incredible!
Thank you so much!
It amazes me how buffy was my least favorite character growing up. But When i rewatched this series as an adult, i felt so bad for her. She was amazing and strong and funny and so freaking alone. Willow, xander and giles are the ones i dislike now. Selfish bastards who dont see her struggle. I was actually happy she had spike in the end. He seemed to understand her the most of all
I was the same! I didn't really appreciate Buffy as a character until I was older, and the Scoobies make me SO MAD by the time s6 hits. She was such a wonderful character, it's a shame that they let her down.
Did a lot of people dislike Buffy when it came out?
perfect video of the most amazing character
Aw thank you!
Damn that was good!
Wish there were more great tributes to the show
thank you!
I've never seen more than like 3 or4 episodes of this show (1 in s3) but I really adore this song and the voiceovers in this capture a POWERFUL sense of the frustrating emotions of a "Chosen One" trope character. Thank you for making such a great tribute.
I really recommend it! She's a superstar, and this vid is just representing a fraction of her character. She's amazing! Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that!
Saw this in my recommended today, 'cuz I love this show, and I had to watch it a second time' cuz it made me understand her more than I already did.💖
One of my fav lines it’s sad one but I’m season 1
Buffy:”Giles I’m 16 I-I don’t wanna die “
It’s sad but it’s one of the best of season 1
