Everything is okay. Totally fine. No stress whatsoever. Concern? Non existent. Stability? Gone (both mine and... you know who's). But it's ok. I have definetly not been spiraling over this episode for the past 24 hours since I watched it. I'm ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I have more thoughts so here comes another comment. Let's talk about bi erasure! I am a woman of literally Buffy's age - I graduated high school in 1999, like the Scoobies - and I just realized/decided last year that I officially identify as bisexual. When I "came out" to my friends&family, the response was universally ".......but didn't we already know that?" Turns out all the sex I was having with women (and men) in my 20s must have clued in everyone but me 😂 For the last 20 years of my life I would describe myself as "mostly straight" or "I dunno, about 87% to 92% straight?" But I wasn't ~*queer*~. I was all white and not oppressed and married to a man. I didn't feel like it was my place to take up space in the queer community just because I think boobs are awesome. Doesn't everyone think boobs are awesome? I'm convinced that there are a whole bunch of middle aged women having similar realizations! So yeah, you can absolutely argue that Willow being "gay now" is a form of bi erasure, in that it perpetuates a black-and-white division between straight and gay. But I still think it was the right choice for the time period, even though it (apparently!) affected even my own life. In the cultural context of the early 2000s, "bisexual" would have meant "not taking the lesbian storyline seriously," and it was hard enough to get Tillow to air at all. If Willow were a friend of mine, I would 100% support her identity as gay, while secretly thinking to myself that maybe she's really more bi, but it's none of my business, and Willow gets to have her own journey. :-)
