Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Ho Yay: Difference between revisions

** A lot. [http://picasion.com/pic10/3982b277b8c7c528def298490f31ce98.gif This] GIF pretty much sums it up.

** Buffy's reaction to Faith hitting on Scott, Faith drawing a heart on the outside of Buffy's window, Buffy telling Xander and Willow that she has a 'date' with Faith, the two of them dancing together, Faith's blatant jealousy of Angel that parallels Xander's hatred towards him, Faith's attempts to bring Buffy over to [[The Dark Side]], Faith kissing Buffy's forehead (which Buffy ''returns'' when Faith's in her coma), Buffy's reccurring dreams about Faith (in one of them they 'make a bed' together), Xander telling Cordelia that Faith and Buffy were in the library 'getting sweaty', and the countless times their faces come close when they fight.

** The vampire getting around may just have something to do with both the attractiveness of David Boreanaz and the fact that he is a really good actor who could create chemistry with a dishrag.

*** In the first season of Buffy, he couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. The first time he showed real improvement in his acting was when Spike had him tied up and shirtless in season 2.

* There was also that season seven episode where the intertwined sexual history of Buffy, Spike, Xander and Anya is explained to a girl Xander likes. In response, she asks if any of them ''haven't'' slept together, and Xander and Spike share an awkward look.

** When Spike and Xander start rooming together in "Him," Spike sleeps in a closet.

* It's pretty much considered <s> c</s>fanon that Giles and Ethan were involved in one way or another pre-series. [[Word of God|Writer Jane Espenson]] has said that she thought the two of them had a past involvement romantically.

** Ethan: "Oh, we go back - we go ''way'' back."

*** Parodied in "A New Man" when Giles thinks Ethan is drunkenly hitting on him when he's really hitting on the waitress.

* Check the way Buffy kisses Dawn in "The Gift".

** [[Word of God|Joss says]] on the season 5 DVD special features; "[Buffy's] love interest for the season was her sister."

'''Willow:''' I know you do. ''[Buffy strokes Dawn's hair]'' }}

** Joss makes it clear Dawn was introduced as an intense ''non-romantic'' interest for Buffy however.

* It's heavily implied that there was something, even if we're not sure exactly what, between [[Complete Monster|Warren]] and [[Ambiguously Gay|Andrew]] during season 6. Andrew was pretty obviously in love with him.

** Ehm...

** The show is considered a landmark in the portrayal of homosexuals on television, particularly lesbians. At least half the cases on this list were probably intentional. A decent part of it is [[Word of God|Joss]] basically saying that fans can bring their own subtext to the show. Several characters (Xander and Willow) were set up as possibly being gay in future seasons. Several other characters have been hinted as having or shown to have same sex encounters (Giles with Ethan Rayne, Angel and Spike, Buffy with Satsu, Buffy with Faith). That isn't even going into the canon Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual characters on the show such as Larry, Tara, Vampire Willow, and Kennedy, or the admitted subtext between Buffy and Dawn.

* Glory induced this way too much, to almost [[Depraved Bisexual]] levels. Particularly with Dawn: changing in front of the girl, playing with her hair, accusing her of "trying to get a peek at [my] unmentionables?" Just the start.

** Dawn/Glory goes both ways:

** Glory talks about having "girl time" with and says to her "Let's have big girl fun"

** She also talks about having "girl time" with Tara and licks her hand in a sensual way
