Faith: Your faith is chaos

Name 2021-11-15 08:01:27

In Buffy's story, the most popular one is Buffy and the two vampire shears who constantly manage and mess up emotional entanglements, but I only love this marginalized hunter Faith. Except for more appearances in the third season, other times are occasional guest appearances in Buffy and Angel dramas. But she blinded me every time she played, and she felt like a leverage. I like her freewheeling and unrestrained character, her arrogant arrogance that she has become so cool and violent, and she likes the loneliness and fragility that she can't talk to in the depths of her heart. Faith's blackening seems to be destined from the beginning. She has lacked the care of family and friends since she was a child, and has never been serious emotionally, lacks a sense of responsibility, often acts impulsively, and pats her ass and runs away after she is in trouble. When she met Buffy, she found that it was also a slayer, but Buffy had so many solid support: Watcher, friend, mother. With her passionate personality, she attracted the attention of people around Buffy intentionally or unintentionally, and Buffy also felt this, so at first she didn't like Faith and felt that her world was being taken over by Faith. Later, in practice, Faith wanted to pull Buffy into her own world, and wanted Buffy to do whatever she wanted and indulge herself like her. Buffy was quickly attracted by Faith's values, and the two gradually came together. Unexpectedly, the misfortune would get worse. First, he robbed the store and was caught and escaped. Then Faith missed and killed someone. Buffy was the first to wake up. She blamed herself for it and hoped that Faith would not continue to make mistakes. Although Faith was also uncomfortable, she began to adopt an evasive strategy and did not face the problem squarely. Then Faith went further and further, first to blame Buffy, and then almost strangled Xander. Then Angel caught Faith and started a rescue plan with Buffy. Angel wanted to help her because he was evil, and Buffy was born with a sense of justice. As a result, before the rescue was successful, the new Watcher Wesley ran out to disrupt the situation, and the people with the Watcher committee captured Faith, and then Faith escaped successfully. At this time Faith has completely lost control, as she said: Nothing in control, It can be said that Faith is a self-willed child at heart. She knows that she has done something wrong, but she refuses to admit her mistakes, refuses to correct, and is unwilling to bear the consequences of doing something wrong. So she found the mayor. At first, she might just want to find a backstage cover, but she didn't expect that this evil mayor would make her feel the long-lost paternal love, which accelerated her degeneration. As he fell into a coma after fighting with Buffy, Faith missed the battle between the mayor and everyone. When she woke up, everything changed, the mayor died, and the lives of other people changed to varying degrees. Fortunately, the mayor gave her a way out. After she broke into Buffy's house, she exchanged bodies with Buffy with the weapon given by the mayor. Out of curiosity, but also out of revenge, Faith didn't run away immediately after changing his body. Instead, he experienced Buffy's life well and even used Buffy's body to sleep with Buffy's boyfriend. When she was about to leave, news of the hostage being held in the church was broadcast in the news. Her inner conscience stayed with her. At this time, she hoped that not only had Buffy's body, but also a person like Buffy, a responsible and just vampire hunter. So she came to the church, and for the first time saved the people in need as bravely as Buffy, not as before, just because of an interest and desire to kill. Then Buffy in Faith's body rushed over and helped her get the vampire together, and then the two fought again. Faith hit Buffy in his body while cursing hysterically. At this time, what she actually beat and scolded was the self hated deep in her heart, and she finally looked directly at her soul for the first time. Then Buffy changed back to his body with the help of his friend's magic, Faith quickly ran away, and then went to Los Angeles. She started to make trouble again, because although she hated herself, she was still confused and had nowhere to go. Angel's enemies hired her to kill Angel, and she agreed without thinking about it. In fact, her goal was to kill herself by Angel's hand. Angel saw through Faith's purpose at a glance, but he himself also came out of evil and despair. He was determined to help her, so no matter how Faith hurt Angel and the people around him, he would never kill Faith. In the rainy night, Faith collapsed, desperately begging Angel to kill herself, but Angel hugged her and comforted her like a child. This moment marks a turning point in Faith’s life. The bad life in the past is over. Although it is full of thorns in the future, he will not hate it anymore. By myself. The story behind Faith is her road to redemption. She finally became a casual vampire hunter with an absolute bottom line. Her growth process is very tortuous, but also very impactful, which has benefited me a lot. Evil is buried in everyone's heart, some are deep and some are shallow. When we see it, we may be afraid at first, but gradually we will face it squarely and no longer be afraid. Because kindness is also rooted in the heart. This balance sometimes swings from side to side, but as long as we don’t give up on ourselves, there is hope for everything, and it’s never too late to look back. When you are groping around in the dark night and looking up, the sky is full of stars.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer quotes

  • Mayor Richard Wilkins: [clears his throat] Well, what a day this is. A special day. Today is our centennial - the 100th anniversary of the founding of Sunnydale and I know what that means to all you kids... not a darn thing. Because today, something much more important happens - today you all graduate from high school. Today, all the pain, all the work, all the excitement is finally over. And what's a hundred years of history compared to that?

    Buffy Summers: My God, he's gonna do the entire speech!

    Willow Rosenberg: Man, just ascend, already!

    Buffy Summers: Evil!

    Mayor Richard Wilkins: It's been a long road getting here. For you. For Sunnydale. There's been achievement, joy, good times. And there's been grief... there's been loss. Some people who should be here today... aren't. But we are... journey's end. And what is a journey? Is it just... distance travelled? Time spent? No. It's what happens on the way. It's the things that shape you. At the end of the journey, you're not the same. Today is about change. Graduation doesn't just mean you're circumstances change. It means you do. You ascend to a higher level. Nothing will ever be the same. Nothing.

    [the Sun begins to eclipse and the Mayor doubles over in pain]

    Mayor Richard Wilkins: And so, as we look back on...

    [the Mayor trails off again]

    Mayor Richard Wilkins: on the events that have brought us to this day...

    [he convulses again]

    Buffy Summers: [whispers] Come on.

    Mayor Richard Wilkins: We... we must all...

    [this time he yells out in pain]

    Mayor Richard Wilkins: it has begun. My destiny. It's a little sooner than I expected. I had this whole section on civic pride... but I guess we'll just skip to the big finish.

    [the Mayor begins to visibly transform into a giant, demonic snake and lets out an inhuman cry of triumph]

  • [repeated line]

    Oz: Who is that girl?
