History WMG / BuffyTheVampireSlayer

[[WMG:Season Six is all in insane!Tara's head.]]

Once More With Feeling was the saner part of Tara's mind desperately trying to lighten things up, but [[TheDeterminator insane!Tara]] would just not give up...

Now, I suppose we must talk about Season Six Willow. It's possible, in this theory's version of ''The Gift'', she sensed the beginning of Willow's dark magic, and knew that it would corrupt her over time. Also, Tara may have subconsciously, or maybe even consciously, felt hurt that Willow hid their relationship from the Scoobies for so long. These oh-so-small doubts in her LoveInterest are why, in insane!Tara's post-Gift imagined-universe, Willow went through massive CharacterDerailment and even turned out to be the Season's BigBad.

Theories for Tara's death if Season Six and onward was all just a world inside insane!Tara's head: It was to punish imaginary!Willow; [[TearJerker it was symbolic the last remaining thread of her sanity]]; even insane!Tara hates S6 that much; etc.

Season Seven has characters a lot more in-character. Insane!Tara has become even more insane by the point she began imagining S7, but oddly her characterizations of her friends became more stabilized and less all over the place as they were in S6. Kennedy, as Tara's complete opposite, was made because insane!Tara felt bad for putting Willow through S6. (Remember, this is all in Tara's head!)

Conclusion 2: Buffy never saved the World from the Apocalypse. She merely enables one specific Apocalypse over others.

Conclusion: The Demonic forces the infused the First Slayer and all the subsequent ones are none other than the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart. Those three true demons are playing the slow game, as they take their time to feast upon the human world. However, they face plenty of competition from the other true demons, whom want to partake in on the feast and are trying to crash the party. Therefore the Slayer was created as a Watchdog to help keep the party crashers out and to weed out the population of the more rowdy vampires and demons who fail to play by Wolfram & Hart's rules, thus letting the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart feast in peace. The Prophesies are merely the notes Wolfram & Hart leaves for the Watchers' council to guide the Slayer into the next danger spot. Long ago the true demon on Earth were driven out, likely by the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart. They have no doubt erected a dimensional barrier around the Human world to keep the competition from returning, and they are fully aware, where and when any given true demon is about to get through a weak spot centuries in advance, so when breakthrough happens, the true demon trying to invade finds the Watchdog waiting for him. Naturally none of the prophesies include any mention of the Wolfram & Hart.

Conclusion 2: Buffy never saved the World from the Apocalypse. She merely enables one particular Apocalypse in favor of all others.

* Some combination of the above.

* The basic plot has basically become a SuperRegistrationAct where vampires, Slayers, witches, the supernatural, they need to be monitored and watched by the government, after a horrific disaster breaks the masquerade. Buffy, Willow, Spike and the like are dead set against the idea. Dead set against Slayers working for the government trying to control the situation. Kennedy had been recruited. Kennedy is in favor of guns and military tactics that kind of automatically makes her evil. InUniverse Kennedy is considered TheScrappy of scrappies, to say nothing of what the fans think of her. And Kennedy has always had this...unfettered maybe attitude in that it doesn't matter what others think about the use of guns, doesn't matter that stopping Wolfram & Hart involves corporate terrorism. Outside of some new threat or that there is an evil left that had not been dealt with then Kennedy is a...hmmm, [[JustForPun potential]] antagonist. Well more antagonistic anyway.

These lifetimes include Series/{{Castle}} and [[{{Series/Firefly}} Mal]]. He's currently on his final lifetime, Creator/NathanFillion. The PTB are just getting a good laugh out of it now.

Spike grows much more of a conscience than any other soulless vampire before him but his demon half was always still there, waiting to reassert itself in times of weakness. By now the evil acts give him no pleasure. He feels nothing but shame and disgust after his attempted rape of Buffy so he decides to finally get his soul back entirely. His human side finally wipes out the demon in him. It’s possible the chip would have a similar effect on all vampires depending on their individual humanity.

In real life the number of homosexual and bisexual people is numbered at around 12% but in the Buffyverse there are almost as many bisexuals and homosexuals as heterosexuals. However this only pertains to humans with supernatural affinities. The two main witches are lesbian (Willow and Tara), several Slayers are revealed to be homosexual before and after activation. Buffy herself had a one night stand with a fellow Slayer in Season 8. So perhaps a persons affinity for the supernatural is determined by their sexual orientation or their sexual orientation determines their affinity for the supernatural.

* This is based on an incomplete understanding of how a vampire's personality is related to their living one. Liam wasn't just 'an asshole', he was at heart an artist and had a strong conscience, even if he was a drunkard and a layabout. Angelus is Liam with that conscience stripped away...but the artist within remained. This is why he was capable of doing something as horrific as what he did to Drusilla, and consider it his greatest achievement. In contrast, Angel considers it his worst crime, worse than any other murder he committed in 150 years. The whole point of the Vampire Willow we see in The Wish/Doppelgangland is to show us that deep down, Willow is a romantic, playful, fiery person, even confident. We see this Willow most effectively in the Angel episode 'Orpheus'. Doppelgangland is also a massive neon sign pointing to WIllow's bisexuality, as in both episodes she has no problems 'playing' with men and women, even her living self.

(Note: It was implied that all of reality was being effected)

** That can happen when you try to invoke ''[[VirginPower Diana]]'' for a ''lust [[WhatAnIdiot spell]]''.

Amilyn survived the stake through the heart and is still in the starewell to this day. Bear in mind that the stake through the heart really hurts and he hasn't left the starewell. He is just in pain constantly as studients, teachers, & faculty pass by the stairwell daily while he is moaning in pain trying to get that stake removed from his chest. I'm sure multiple times Buffy has passed him by between classes only to shout "How Are You Not Dead?"

The most [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone receptive]] or most mystically important person gets the announcement: "[[MookChivalry The Gentlemen]] [[NoSneakAttacks are coming]]. You can't talk. You have until we get seven hearts to figure out how to stop us. These are the rules. Game on." If you don't stop them, they KillEmAll. If you do stop them, they play off their [[YourHeadAsplode head asplodey]] endgame sequence and go to another town. [[spoiler: Riley]] smashing their box may have caused them to not offer a prize, or the prize may be something less noticeable but still substantial (like luck, or [[TheFairFolk not being slaughtered]]).

It's unlikely that a girl from a normal 19th-century English family would be named after Caligula's sister. Also, the others in the Scourge of Europe took new names as vampires. Darla was named by the Master, then Angelus and Spike picked theirs.

As mentioned before, for this theory, the Key cannot be destroyed. The ritual Glory performed would make it lose its human form, but not destroy ''it''. Apart from this ritual, the Key will stay around, and it will stay in its human form - Dawn. We do see her age over the 3 years she's on the show, and the human form of the key does seem ''completely'' human, following human processes - so this will be AgeWithoutYouth.
* However, it's worth mentioning that aging is not the same process as maturation. It is entirely possible that one won't happen, while the other will.

* Everything reverted when her power was broken so the Hellmouth existed before the reality warp.

* In "Grave" the only way to make her stop is to force her to acknowledge an emotion other than pure rage. Xander did that when no other chacter could.

** It's called a gaydar. Apparently Kennedy's is rather strong.

** Buffy is one of ''Gabrielle's'' many incarnations! Sure, she's a Slayer, too, but that just means that most of her super-strength, combat training, and so on, are the result of an outside influence done with magic. Other than that, she's an entertainer (a bard when she was Gabrielle, then a cheerleader when she became Buffy) who instinctively wanted to cheer on other people for their physical prowess (Gabrielle wanted to write epic tales of Xena's heroic deeds, Buffy wants to be a cheerleader for her high school football team), but feels compelled when she sees a chance to contribute to heroics. (Gabrielle helps Xena in her heroic deeds, often finding some new heroics to get involved in. Buffy is only able to put up a token effort to resist her Slayer calling, before she finds a local vampire threat and accepts it as her life mission.)

* Alternatively, Xander has girly parts. Faith and Anya never said anything because they are kinky that way.
** What about "His penis got diseases from a Chumash tribe"?

*** You don't have to be "kinky" to not be transphobic. Men with vaginas exist.
*** Having a sexual orientation and not being transphobic are not the same thing. Strangely enough, most people probably would mention if they were sexually attracted to one sex and someone who represented themselves as a member of that sex turned out to have the genitals of another sex. Some people are attracted to trans people. Others are not. That's not prejudice any more than heterosexuality or homosexuality are forms of prejudice (even though they "discriminate" against a much larger portion of the population). People are allowed to have sexual preferences. If Xander turned out to be transgender and if that was something which Faith and Anya found attractive then that's good for them, but if it turned out that him having a vagina wasn't something that appealed to them then that doesn't make them bigots either.

* Well, what the hell is a Krevlornswath or a Deathwok Clan. Thricewise sounds much saner that that.
* {{Jossed}}.

** Um, you don't think the above statement needs to be a WMG of it's own? 'Cos as it is it's just ranting on Whedon. And Kennedy. Unprovoked. It's a bit weird.
*** Plus, he's been in the same marriage since 1991, with no problems so far. Dude just knows what makes for good drama.

*** "Demi-Sexuality", defined as "people who are sexually attracted to people they are in love with", is actually nothing more than a juvenile cry for attention. These are people who are otherwise vanilla heterosexual or homosexual who somehow do not feel entitled enough and thus want some special snowflake status. Demi-sexuals claim to be oppressed on the same level as homosexuals, but that's just nonsense. Seriously, what demi-sexuals claim to “suffer” is nothing compared to what actual LGBT people go through on a daily basis. They are not going to be denied a job because of their sexuality, they are not going to be denied housing because of their sexuality, they are not going to be forced to be who you aren't because of their sexuality, they are not going to be subject to violence because they are "demi" or whatever. Talk about gross? The entire attitude -- that these people somehow deserve special snowflake status just becausethey insist you ought to -- is utterly nauseating.

Spoilered so as not to ruin the effect of learning it through the episode, in case someone’s not had a chance to see the Season Epilogue episode. Not because I think it’s supposed to be a ShockingSwerve or anything.\\
