Joss is wrong: Tara lives!

[TaraWannabe]

I came to the board on Wednesday, wondering if really all hope is lost (I didn't watch Tuesday's episodes and maybe the wildfeed, which I read, had left something out - wishfull thinking) but sadly...

I have already been sad since I first heard of Tara's upcoming death, but Wednesday night I finally started to mourn. Tara was more than a 'person' to me, she was an idol (which is a very, very rare thing for me to have) and her relationship with Willow gave me so much hope for myself. But, shattered now.

Yesterday I was still mourning until I realized that, although the writers killed her on-screen, this is the Buffy-verse after all. Anything is possible. I don't let ME's recent madness negate what they created for me with Tara. Tara will be back and live on in our hearts and our stories, which, since the whole Buffy-verse is a fantastic creation anyway, is an as legitimate version of the Buffy-verse as any other version out there. I can live with that. Willow and Tara can live with that.

Qui-Gon in Star Wars 1 to Anakin:
"Always remember: your focus determines your reality." (quoted from memory)

My focus on W/T determines my reality. I hope I am not the only one.

[Sorry to post this as a new thread but, although I looked through most of the other threads, it didn't really seems to fit in anywhere. But if you, mods, know a good place then put it there by all means. ]

Still mourning here too. The fanfiction is both a help and a sadness for me at the moment but it's keeping me sane!
My main hope is that I win the lottery today, am able to go buy UPN, kick out all the so-called writers from ME and replace them with "The Different Coloured Pens" authors! Oh boy! Would we have a season 7 to watch for! Although, we might end up showing at a totally later time with some of the more *ahem* racey writing! I could live with that.
Take courage Tarawannabe, you're not alone in your sadness. Be strong like an amazon.

I feel the same way. She is very much alive for me, though I am very angry (yeah I know I hide it well *cough*) at what ME has done, I am not mourning Tara, I mean I do mourn that we will not be seeing Willow and Tara onscreen anymore, because nothing beats that, but Tara is not dead for me, the show is, and that I could care less about.

Damn right Garfield. Tara will live on forever here, her and Willow together, always, as it should be.

As far as BtVS goes, good riddance.

[urnofosiris]

Indeed, which reminds me, I still gotta scrape off the BtVS logo from my WT t-shirt.

[hellmouthhottie20]

DrG. God i hadnt thought about that, i have been walking around advertising the show that killed our beloved tara.
Its just above willows head though, and i dont want to loose any of that lovely hair.

You think that's a problem. I have a box set signed by Amber [b:4cd1dd15ce] and[/b:4cd1dd15ce] Joss. Anyone know a safe way to remove ink?

[urnofosiris]

Have you tried a blow torch?

Oh wait, you asked for a safe way? Nevermind then, besides, he probably put his autograph too close to Amber's didn't he?

[El Gato]

to everyone that has posted on this thread: You're the best! Nice to see some good energy!

I just can't get this entire season...every relationship on the show was a disaster. The one involving two people that REALLY care about each other....and joss has to kill one of them?? What is this guy's act? What is he trying to say?
I don't see the point in telling a story just to hurt people.

It doesn't make much sense - for a whole bunch of reasons.

[Killin Joke]

Can't you draw a stake through his name ? Or put a Tara-sticker over it, then again: eeew, his name isn't worth it to have Tara all over, on top of him. I'd got with the stake, you can even use a "red magic marker" to accentuate the blood, he, he...

[girlwiththebraids]

to slightly rephrase the liion king:

"she lives in YOU"

Yep, like he he was her good friend, and wasn't already scheming to write he out of the show. I mean that is truly unbelievable, he just booted her off the series for the sake of a cheap plot gimmick. Well not round here he won't!

[Iamyouknowyours]

In us, even if the devil, ahem, I mean Joss never brings her back. I like the stake through his name idea Just a question, if I buy the Buffy DVD seasons am I a traitor for supporting ME? What if I only buy the seasons with Tara? What do you guys think? It's silly, but I am feeling conflicted about it.

[LadyCallie]

I'm with you. She's only gone if we let her go.

And I know my girlfriend is totally with you. She has stopped watching because she doesn't need to see what she doesn't believe. And what isn't true.

I've been buffy obsessed since finding out Tara has died. I quite happily spend all my free moments creating interesting ways for her to return, most of them are err.... a little far fetched, but it keeps me amused.

Its not often that I get caught up so much in a TV program. Tara is certainly taken root in my mind and she aint going nowhere

[Killin Joke]

Neih, I don't think you're a traitor, iamyouknowyours. I considered buying the Buffy-DVDs (since they have all these cool extra's, the Xena-DVDs don't have) but might not do so after all. I mean, they are expensive too, and I still have to complete my Xena-collection. Though, in time, maybe I'll buy the 5th and 6th season, solely for Tara and Willow, to make musicvideo's. Haven't tried my hands on those yet: I feel I owe it to Tara and Will... It's all in the "intention": if you buy the stuff for W/T, Aly, Amber and not for ME, it's not an act of treason (in my eyes).

[Katharyn]

She lives as long as a single one of us wants her to.

And between all of us that will be a long, long time.

She is ours now... as a couple they both are. Take the ball and run with it.

[VampNo12]

I agree. I have only mourned Tara in the sense she will no longer be on the show, or at least not the Tara we want to see on Buffy (ie Ghost Tara). However in our hearts and minds Tara will always live on. Here at this board we now own W&T, and our vision is the one that matters not ME's.

[The Next Tara Maclay]

She will always live, No matter what the stupid writers say, She is alive. In our stories and in our hearts and minds. SCrew the writers!

[slayer747]

"death ends a life, not a relationship"
-morrie

explains it all... tara's not dead... she's living in our hearts forever. she's all ours and us hers.

[tommo]

Of course she is. That's the glory of fictional characters. You can have them for as long as you want, wherever you want and just keep bringing them back when it suits you.

I've given less of a crap about Joss and his minions now, as I feel that he had the chance to do something beautiful here and he fucked up. I on the other hand, will not allow that to happen.

[slayer747]

yup, which reminds me, thanks for your fics, keeps me breathing.

[tommo]

Well the fics are a safe haven where I think most writers on Pens will agree, that Willow and Tara will exist for a long long time to come. Personally, that's another one of those ways in which I'm glad to see the writers not allowing Joss to spoil things. If anything, the quality and length of fic has risen to accommodate the shite that we saw on the television. I know which I prefer.

[Penrose Orleans]

Maybe if we could FILM the fics, it would be the best of both worlds!!! I could see it now... only it might be illegal to sell some of them to minors...

[Sheridan]

Well with the continuing advances in digital animation and PC technology we should be able to make a stab within the next couple of years. In fact I've seen some interesting 3D comics done with 'Poser'. The details of which I won't go into in a PG thread.

[Penrose Orleans]

I like the way you think! This is all about keeping W/T together, and visual media are the best vehicles with which to accomplish that!

[Sheridan]

Actually I have heard reports that the current generation of videocards can run 'Final Fantasy' standard animation. Of course that needs a fairly powerful PC behind it, but with a 3Ghz P4 on the horizon as well as the AMD hammer, and a new generation of videocards in the offing all you really need is the software. That and the time needed to do it is the real bottleneck.
