Not the "thank you for the gold, kind stranger"
Also bold of you to assume Spike isn't already a malewife
@@SarahZ don't even get me started 😒
Cool to see Sarah Z on this great channel!
Maybe it's because it's not one of my ships but I didn't understand the thank you for the gold stranger comment
@@barbarabaker1457 Think of it as the youtube commenter who goes "Edit: Wow this comment blew up"
Just when shippers were getting too comfortable, she returned and she is coming for all our throats.
good, we needed someone to humble us
“You are Joss Whedon.”
I can’t think of a more damning accusation.
"You are the CEO of Activition Blizzard"
Well, *that* just happened.
I am not, because that relationship annoyed the heck out of me, but DAMN...
“You are JK Rowling.” from the Harry Potter episode.
@@thehopeofeden597 *That* accusation didn't so much age as sharpen with time.
My parents' only ship from this show, Buffy/Riley, is not on here, so I can only assume the statement would be, "You are Miranda B.'s parents."
The real answer is "you are terminally straight"
"You are a nice guy"
"You only read/write straight couples in Supernatural fanfic."
"You are one of three people who remembers Riley."
I... also ship Buffy/Riley...
as a spike enthusiast i felt like i was being hit with a chair for every "spike x" description
good
I really enjoy how you phrase your appreciation of Spike. I will unabashedly steal this phrasing because it isn't "stan, fan, or appreciator"
Getting hit with chairs is Oz's weakness in werewolf form.
As a Spike enthusiast, I'm offended that my favorite ship, Spike and Faith, was left out.
me too, he is my soggy little meow meow
when the world needed her most
she returned
Coming from one trans girl to another, can I just say how boss your transition has been so far? Like, you somehow even managed to keep the deadpan narration EVEN AFTER voice training? And I'd also kill to be able to do makeup half as well as that.
Buffy/Riley- you think mayonnaise sandwiches on white bread and the crusts cut off are amazing
My mom said, "Hey, Buffy and Riley had some hot sex. Also, I hate mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is disgusting. But if I had to pick a Buffy character to marry my daughter, it would be Riley."
My mom mentioning hot sex aside (because ew, I don't want to think about my parents' sexualities ever), this is all hilarious to me. Personally, I haven't seen enough episodes with Riley so I'm like 🤷♀️
oh my god yes 😂
riley didn't even make the cut 😂😂😂
@@IsisAlv He's so vanilla, we all forgot about him 😂
They legit are tho?
"You are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of..." will always be my favorite line ever
same, it's so good
"You will never stop being bitter about season 6" HOW COULD ANYONE?!!
watching this compared to the first video of yours i ever watched (the she ra ships one) im so happy to see how much your looks and your voice have changed, and just how much more expressive and happy you look now, super proud of you
I second this comment.
Hearty agree! Beauty shines out from her now.
Thinking the same thing!
That Catradora joke hit closer than I was anticipating
Called me the heck out for certain
I feel so exposed……
i was so excited for this new one, but when i heard your voice, i couldn’t help but smile so wide. good for you, queen!
I know right she sounds amazing
I know you can't see me, but I have never nodded my head harder in agreement at the Willow/Oz description. Best guy in the whole damn show.
I love Willow/Tara to bits, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Willow/Oz, because Oz is such a sweetie and he deserves the best!
Which is why they had to get rid of him. You can’t have a good boyfriend on this show.
@@sovietcanuckistanian I mean if they were a tad bit more progressive they could've had polyamory. But I recognize that that's expecting a bit much from the early 2000s
@@laineeh.7569 I woulda watched the hell out of that
@@laineeh.7569 Witch Willow gives vampire Willow a soul, Vampire Willow gets with Oz (vampire x werewolf ship) and Witch Willow gets with Tara. Problem solved.
Does this make Darla and Angel the “men getting pegged” ship?
Yes.
yes.
absolutely
Yup!
XD I feel called out. I love Darla/Angel(us)
I can tell just from the image that the catradora joke is accurate. Excellent video.
I've never seen this show but listening to you calling people out never fails to put a smile in my face. (Also you look really pretty!)
Idk if she’s ever done a video for a fandom I’m in but I always enjoy watching her videos 😂😂😂 and reading people’s reactions to being called in the comments 😂😂😂
As a fan of the show they're all pretty damn accurate lol
Seen the show like 100 times; hilariously accurate.
Love that she straight up ignored Riley 🤣🤣
Love that Buffy/Riley doesn't even merit an insult.
Your tone/delivery felt like a sophisticated college professor casually roasting her students' love lives in the most professional manner possible and I love it💗💗💗
She even has the perfect outfit for a professor on too!
I wasn’t thinking that before but now I can’t unhear it
I love how Riley isn't even mentioned. No one ships Riley.
The funniest thing 🤣
Waiting for Riley. Nope. Shut down. No one likes Riley.
I liked Buffy and Riley. It was sad when she realised how she had felt and tried to stop him from leaving but was too late. The episode after that showed how much she had loved him and how hurt she was by the break up. She told Giles that it had felt like the end of the world. She had overreacted to Anya and Xander's fight and sobbed uncontrollably throughout the episode. She had talked to Dawn about it too, how it had hurt so much that it had felt like a knife in her heart. She had taken down his pictures because it was too hard for her to look at them and had hoped that he'd come back so that they'd work things out. Buffy and Riley had a real relationship. When she met Angel he already knew she was the slayer. With Riley she had trusted him with her slayer secret. She had told him about Angel. She had opened up to him in ways she never had before. People dismiss that and prefer to ship her with sick twisted stalkers like Spike who had tried to rape her. People who ship Spuffy care way more about Spike's happiness than they do about Buffy's. Spike was and always will be the worst love interest for Buffy.
I liked Riley with Forrest
I said as I opened this "if Oz isn't in this, I'll die"
Needless to say, this quiz did read me accurately
Once again I am called out, this time by Buffy/Faith, Willow/Tara, and Drusilla/Spike (also didn't realize how much i would've preferred a malewife Spike till you said it). Can't believe I was so blind to the fact that Buffy/Faith is just 90s Catradora.
*nods in wlw shipper*
I can't watch season 6 without tissues
Aaah! I know this has nothing to do with the video but I'm so proud of your voice training accomplishments!
I started at a similar pitch to you and I think it took me so much longer to get a passing voice like yours!!!
It looks like it's taking you a bit of concentration, but give it time and you won't even be thinking about it anymore! 🥰
Thank you friend! You're right, I catch myself slipping out of my desired pitch and cadence a lot but I'm working hard to get more consistent. Practice makes perfect and all that
When fandom needed her most, she returned!
I haven’t watched Buffy, so let’s decide on a favorite ship from these roasts. I DO like to see dudes take L’s…
Trust me, its an excellent choice.
Xander is Joss Whedon’s self insert. Prove me wrong. Also Oz deserved so much more.
He used to say that in interviews. People would ask "Which character are you most like?" and he would say Xander-- because (his words, although I'm paraphrasing) he's a normal, not very talented guy surrounded by a lot of badass people. And then one time he was asked that question again and he said he's changed his mind and he's actually most like Buffy. And that's Joss Whedon in a nutshell. Writes a mediocre male character as a self-insert, pretends to be humble and self-deprecating for the fans, then eventually reveals that he has a god complex.
No lies detected.
Oz was done so dirty.
Oz only got written off the show because Seth Green was done with the role. However if he had stayed on he would have died in Taras place. So IDK I guess I'll take what I got.
It was so obvious. I never liked Xander myself, something about him just creeped me out.
@@orlkorrect Well seeing the stuff that has come out recently.... the fact he had a god complex seems reasonable. I hate that because I really loved Whedonstuff, esp. Firefly
Delighted I'm getting exactly as much respect as I deserve for being a Spike fan. You are the Queen of this.
I like how it's been long enough that I forgot who I used to ship, barely remember the names of most of the characters, but still got the "bitter about season 6" jokes. Makes the whole video feel fitting in a way I can't put into words.
Yes! It’s been so long…
I’m only in the middle of season 6 though, so I guess I can look forward to the joy of finally being able to fully appreciate some of these to accompany the overwhelming dread of whatever horrible tragedies await :, )
It's a wonderful exploration of painful emotions, but dear LORD does it Hurt
you my good person are in for a ride
I mean bitter is a good way to describe season 6, like it builds up to Once More with Feeling as the highlight, then it just keeps piling on the angst. And then that finale is just oof.
Oh gosh. Buckle up! Season 7 isn't exactly comforting either...
@@_Tree_of_Life_ *puts on rose tinted glasses*
They return to Sunnydale High, Buffy no longer has to deal with the Watcher's council, The Bronze is in a couple episodes, guest star Nathan Fillion, Xander gets taken seriously at one point, and Robin Wood is introduced
*takes off rose tinted glasses*
I'm not even a part of this fandom but I will always drop everything to watch these videos
Honestly would recommend. The characters and world building are great and most of the show still holds up to today. And Buffy is the reason why many shows tv shows are the way they are now: that particular blend of supernaturalness, romance, school drama, and fights; the use of the phrase “the big bad”. It originated in Buffy. It’s really interesting to know that the tropes that you see in modern shows that you take for granted didn’t blend together until Buffy got the formula right.
I love both Buffy and it’s sister show Angel, even if the last two seasons (especially S4) of Angel are lacklustre. Cordelia is one of the best characters from this fandom, I will fight anyone on this. Watching her character growth in both shows is truly beautiful.
Friendly tip, apparently they released a “remastered” version of Buffy and it’s terrible. “Passion of the Nerd” has done a fantastic video on it on TH-cam. If you do decide to watch, try not to watch the remastered version.
Oh shit min! The voice training is paying off! I wasn't expecting it but you've made a lot of progress!
Absolutely came for my life with the Willow/Faith and Eve/Villanelle comparison
I mean I do believe in Oz supremacy, and I do believe he is the best character and deserved so much better, you got me there.
He IS the best character and he DESERVED so much better
Oz deserves the world.
if there was a human capable of possessing all of Oz’s qualities they’d have to fight off marriage proposals all day
Nah Oz was too nice. Was hiding his bullshit behind an indie,/hippy/ cool guy vibe. It's the hidden depths behind the characters that makes the show so awesome.......bad guys can be decent deep down (,Angel, Spike) and nice guys can be dark (werewolf Oz, Chad Riley , badass Giles)
Your curls grew out so beautifully!
That Spike/Xander one is the first of these to really, truly, deeply apply to me
Same but Spike/Angel. Apparently antagonistic homoeroticism is my thing, who knew?
Sad that Spike/Giles wasn’t here, I was so excited for you to roast me like a Christmas turkey
I was literally thinking about how much I loved Willow/Tara as a kid this morning. They were my ship before I knew what shipping was.
Spike/Angel spoke to me because I had the same dynamic with a guy for years. He’s now my best man, and my fiancée introduces him as my boyfriend.
Oh, Spike/Angel... you're absolutely correct, Minerva, that is my ideal relationship dynamic. And yes, I do just want good things for Oz.
It's scary how accurate this is.
Edit: I would've added Giles/Joyce to the list.
YES! My personal ship
Yeah, I don't know how anyone would skip that!
I got one!
You believe that the only thing that could make the Team DadxTeam Mom dynamic even more amazing was if one of them was the actual parent of one of the Team's members.
Enemies to lovers, identity character arcs, AND heroic sacrifice? My type of ship.
Oh wow. Congrats on the transition. Haven't been round these parts in a while, glad to see you keeping at it. Looking good 👍
I was expecting a 'You...are Joss Whedon' joke, but I was expecting it for Buffy/Riley.
LMAO THE WILLOW/KENNEDY ONE
As both a Willow/Tara and Xander/Anya shipper I am indeed very bitter over season 6
And feel very called out on Buffy/Angel
it's been 84 years...
Planning to watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer for first time soon since it's on Disney Plus... somehow so this is incredibly well timed
Godspeed soldier
Get DVDs, HD Remaster is bad.
@@GiganticTumor - yes! OP... Get DVDs, HD Remaster is bad.
copy and pasted to help drill that in.
literally always here for "ship 1: you like a", "ship 2: you like b", "ship 3: you like a AND b"
(aka the "xander/cordelia: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of a bickering married couple", "willow/tara: you will never stop being bitter about season six", "xander/anya: you are a firm believer in the inherent eroticism of a bickering married couple AND you will never stop being bitter about season six"
I hadn't come across your content in a while, and I must say : that is some killer voice training you've done!! So happy for you, you look and sound gorgeous :D
"you grew up to be really into soulmate au's" just sniped me on sight. curse my childhood ship for making me this way
Welcome back! Took me a hot second to adjust to your presentation, good to see your transition is going so well.
Minnnn your voice is so lovelyyyyy, I'm proud of you for making so much progress!!
I just really love Eliza Dushku, okay? I just wanted good things for her character lol
That A+++ satisfaction of not even mentioning Riley. Chef's kiss
i havent even watched buffy, but ill watch anything minerva puts out. you look amazing btw!
Also, I'd be perfectly happy if you did an Angel the series one of these. It's always an honor being called out by you.
Oz is the only decent man on this entire show. (Honorable mention goes to Giles.)
Angel/Buffy was the first ship I ever read fic for! In hindsight the Spike/Buffy dynamic is more fun but I've never really been able to let go of my first ship lol.
Sadly a lot of the smaller fanfiction archives I read those fics on were shot down and only a small number of authors transferred their work to ao3 or ffnet.
Still missing and thinking about some of my old faves :( (while being grateful that ao3 is a thing now)
Wish i would have known about fanfic back in the day when I watched Angel! I've moved on since then, but I bet there were some great fics
One of my top 3 ships from this show is post willow breakup Buffy/Tara because they had the room to work with it and have it make sense if told right... but I do love Buffy/Faith and Willow/Tara
wlw culture
May I just say, you look phenomenal! Your hair especially looks super cute in this video, it suits you so well ❤️
I haven't seen a video in a while and it was a nice surprise to see how Minerva's transition is going. She looks amazing
Yes, I do want vampire Willow to raw me, WHAT OF IT
like yeah, but can i just say that I totally see that Catradora is actually way more dysfunctional than Buffy/Faith was? Like Catra is the most damaged cat i ever sore no lie.
ALSO THE ONLY REASON WE THOUGHT JOSS WAS THE REASON THAT SHOW WAS GOOD WAS HE SLAPPED HIS NAME AFTER EVERY FINAL CUT WHETHER HE WROTE THAT SHIT OR NOT
She is back, she is beautiful, and she is calling me tf out, we love to see it 😂😂💖
Honestly, you are gorgeous, and loving your voice. Hope you're having a good day, if you see this.
Thank you for mentioning how confusing the direction they took the comics in was.
i like giles/ethan rayne (the surviving dude from giles' wild teenage years in the demon summoning cult)
Did you watch torchwood?
The Buffy/Giles bit isn't getting enough appreciation in these comments. I feel like she saw through my soul for a minute there.
Finally a video I can send my roommate! All of her pets are named after Buffy characters.
Can I just say, I haven’t checked in on this channel for a while and it is so good to see you still going, and going strong? Heck yes.
And as a fellow transgendah, huge kudos for coming out transitioning in front of an audience. And congrats on the gender! (though very belated)
Wait oml i havent been on the channel in a while but THE VOICE ✨ and the LOOK ✨ !!!! I'm really happy for her, she looks like she's doing so well 💗
as a lesbian who is a recovering Buffy/Giles fan, holy shit that was a read. and yeah, Catradora definitely feels like Fuffy for Gen Z lol
Oh, I can't wait until you cover the Kingdom Hearts ships. That will be a gold mine.
Woot! I've missed these!
I feel like some ships were missing here, though... "The inherent eroticism of watching daytime soaps together."
If I replace "favourite" with "ones I like at all" (which I tend to have to do about all "favourites") all which apply are extremely accurate descriptions of various parts of me. Oh dear
Your videos are back! Yaaaay!
I will die on the Angel/Cordelia hill. That ship f*cks. That episode with the stuck-in-time ballet.... jfc I still think about it. Charisma Carpenter was done so dirty by Wheadon.
incredible as always, and, minerva, you are looking lovely!
I feel like Dawn/Xander could also be something like "You never got over your high school crush."
Spike/Buffy, Willow/Tara, Anya/Xander... yeah... The musical episode lives in my head rent free
Ever since you started these videos I was praying that you would cover Buffy and here it is! I feel so called out, it hurts 😅 This is perfect! ❤️
I’ve never seen this show, but I love these videos. Also the voice sounds perfect.
RETURN OF THE QUEEN YOU SOUND AMAZING
You look amazing too but like that's a given and you already know that because of the thirsty anons
DAMN Queen the voice threw me, good for yoooou that glow up tho 🥺
You caught me out on this one... that is my default answer to a love triangle
It's mine if the girl isn't interesting enough to warrant the Charem Solution.
(Props to Iron Widow, as always, for actually using the Charem Solution; Wu Zetian ain't got time for some love triangle BS.)
@@tyrant-den884 yesss I love that book
Mine is usually polyamory.
@@WhiteScorpio2 again, really cannot reccomend Iron Widow enough.
Your hair is AMAZING 😍✨
oh my goodness your curls are so beautiful!! I love this hairstyle on you!! Amazing video!
Oh trust me, my bitterness with what happened to Xander and Anya doesn't even END with Season 6! It goes straight to the Dark Horse comics for teasing the idea of bringing Anya back along with her and Xander getting back together only to not do that and have Xander end up with fucking Dawn of all characters, no doubt setting up what would eventually happen to another character I liked in Sesshomaru in Yashahime (speaking of which, if you ever do a video about Inuyasha ships, PLEASE use the FBI joke when it comes to SessRin! I want to see that there's still some sanity left in the fandom I helped build in the states when I was 11!)
Yeah, I'm still not keen on the Buffy/Spike ship because of the whole... y'know... attempted rape thing?
thank you so much for this...the acknowledgement of the weird shit in the comics, the fact that oz deserved better, thank you
also willow/oz is a bi4bi ship change my mind
Minerva, you look really really really good and I’m glad you’re able to be true to yourself.
Millenials in the comments discussing ships, I'm just happy to have Min back with updated graphics & sound design lol
i know little about buffy, but showed this to my fianceé who was a huge fan back in the day. when we got to the 'you are a killing eve fan' part she screamed and hid under the xmas tree, thoroughly fuckoured
also welcome back minerva ♡
“You will never stop being bitter about season six.” Correct. I shall curse whedon with my dying breath.
Yes, I absolutely love heroic sacrifice AND want good things for Oz T_T
Damn your voice made a complete 180 from how it used to be. You fucking NAIL your new voice. It fits you perfectly, girl!
I love that Buffy/Riley didnt even warrant a placing on this list lmao
Been a while but a very welcome return nonetheless
*The Voice*… GORGEOUS!
The fucking Spike x Xander one came direct for my throat. I approve
I've missed you! I've never been so excited to be called out before. Nailed it, as always.
your back!!! and with my favorite show!
i swear, there doesn't have to be heroic sacrifice but it just shows the love man
I felt attacked by the “Catradora shipper” comment, because it’s completely true
