Yes that's right, I've casually Googled a topic and thought I can get 4 weeks of polls out of this.
I even took a love language test, I didn't get a PhD but I did get a BS run down of my mind from closed questions. Thanks box tickers for factoring me not as an individual but a statistic with no area for movement without being a statistical anomaly. Science.
We don't box tick here in polls because there's a circle to fill instead. So lets get circle filling!
Which love language does Willow find more meaningful to receive?
Words of Affirmation - I love yous, compliments, encouragement, words of appreciation. Physical Touch - Kissing, holding hands, cuddling, sex. Receiving Gifts - Visual symbols of love, recognising and valuing the gift giving process Quality Time - Meaningful conversations, recreational activities, active listening, eye contact Acts of Service - Actions speak louder than words, acts done for them that makes their lives easier.
Words of Affirmation. Its easier to say she likes her ego stroked but its not that simple and I don't want to dump on Willow when that aspect of her isn't entirely her fault.
It seems Willow didn't receive many words of affirmation that was directly personalised to her growing up, more generalised sentiments from whatever article Shelia was reading. She got the grades that validated her genius but not her as a person. I think a well done from someone she cares about would mean a lot more than an A+. Receiving encouragement, compliments and words of appreciation from someone she cares about would mean more to her as she has experienced how little effort goes into a sentiment but an actual compliment means they see her and want to put the effort in to do so. I guess an example of this is in After Life when Tara and Willow were talking in bed and Willow admitted she wanted a thankyou from Buffy. She received the gift of Buffy back but she wanted that one last bit of affirmation to confirm she did the right thing.
