There once was a show of the rather unfortunate name 'Buffy: The Vampire Slayer' It began in 1996 when i was 15/16 and i make no exaggeration in saying that it helped me get through those years and helped make me the person i was until i had kids.
My love for this show has not yet and i rather doubt will ever be overshadowed by any other piece of media. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that Doctor who comes close today, but even that can't quite watch what Buffy meant to me in my life all those years ago.
When it ended I went into mourning, i make not joke here, and honestly I still miss it. I kept the show alive for myself just a little bit longer when i decided to make video clips of Buffy to music that shouted at me about a theme or a character.
Visiting a friend the other day she had an episode of their rewatch running and i watched the end of it...somehow i'd forgotten what it meant to me, not intellectually but the feel of it, the sound of it the sight of it, i'd let it fade. I'm waiting till my kids are old enough to enjoy it too before i dedicate myself to a real rewatch but it made me go and locate the video clips i made.
I've had some trouble finding a place to host these, YouTube keeps taking them down. So i'm putting them here, I hope this works.
This one is called 'Oh My Love' and it celebrates and mourns one of the BEST relationships ever to grace a television screen. Grab some tissues.
