Ah, romance. (Now if someone can find me a gifset of Spike’s soliloquy on love from Lover’s Walk, I’ll be golden.)

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer Week: Whedon’s Binary Excludes Bisexuality” by Erin Fenner
Willow is Whedon’s version of the answer to the underrepresented gay community. But, Willow appears to have had a healthy sexual relationship with her boyfriend Oz, and there is no hint at otherwise. She also pined for Xander for years. Both men. We see her gradually start a relationship with Tara, but she never talks about or reflects on her sexuality or coming out. We see that she is nervous about whether her friends approve. But, it doesn’t get much deeper than that. No characters have a deep conversation with her about her orientation. It’s not a thorough exploration. She goes from being with men to exclusively being with women and identifying as a lesbian. This is fine for Willow, but because there are really not many open gay or lesbian characters within the entire series we are dependent on her narrative alone.

I can appreciate Joss Whedon because he does write strong women. I think he did a lot for television but yes he is by no means perfect.
Willow going straight to gay was heartbreaking as a bisexual in the closet. I could recognize how this was a big step for lesbians but as a closet bisexual it was another thing that yet again made me feel there was something wrong with me. That what I’m feeling doesn’t actually exist and people are monosexual and therefore I’m some weird mutant that probably has some mental problem or something.
Even though I knew it wasn’t the case. But when I people don’t even entertain the idea non-monosexuality exists it just makes me feel like I’m some freak.
Willow was important for lesbians but she could have been just as important for bisexuals.
Joss won’t even really admit that his characters are bisexual. He just keeps saying they “experimented”.
Oh, yes, thank you. I remember being so excited when Willow and Tara started falling for each other, thinking, gosh this character is like me! She fell in love with men, and now she’s falling for a woman!
And then she just started calling herself gay… and that was heartbreaking for me in a way I can’t really explain. It was like the show was saying, no, people like you don’t really exist, how funny that you actually thought they could.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbn2j3biPJ1riop3bo1_500.gif)

Spuffy Alphabet
↳ Mortal Enemies
“The thing about the dance is, you never get to stop. Every day you wake up, it’s the same bloody question that haunts you: is today the day I die? Death is on your heels, baby, and sooner or later it’s gonna catch you. And part of you wants it… not only to stop the fear and uncertainty, but because you’re just a little bit in love with it. Death is your art. You make it with your hands, day after day. That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know: What’s it like? Where does it lead you? And now, you see, that’s the secret. Not the punch you didn’t throw or the kicks you didn’t land. Every Slayer… has a death wish. Even you. The only reason you’ve lasted as long as you have is you’ve got ties to the world… Your mum, your brat kid sister, the Scoobies. They all tie you here, but you’re just putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, you’re gonna want it. And the second… the second that happens… You know I’ll be there. I’ll slip in… Have myself a real good day. Here endeth the lesson.”
FAVORITE BTVS CHARACTER EVER
Yes. And it’s still my favorite scene of the whole damn show. It’s structured so well.
It’s also worth remembering this speech when Buffy does die at the end of S5, and sure enough, Spike’s there… and has what looks like the worst day of his life.
