Where was Alyson’s flare gun?While a flare isn’t classed as a firework it does work through combustion of a pyrotechnic composition. Yeah, fancy words. How does this connect to Alyson candle? Are you stretching out this dance too thin? Well candles burn which is combustion and yes I am but she improves tenfold going forward so it’s harder to jest. Plus the next dance has an umbrella and I’m English, I know how to milk that. Feel free to shoot your own flares.
Which is what this poll is all about.
While shhhed to darkened KB corners there was a before time. A time before two witches locked eyes and laced fingers in the surroundings of randomer’s delicates. A time before they knew the other existed. But we don’t have to live those times here. We can rewrite them.
What if we had a flare we could shoot which would summon Tara into a pre Tara Willow time. A sticky situation where Tara could swoop in and scoop her up. Or whatever you imagine her doing. Quieten that rapid typing Pens smut writers, Poll is in session.
Which brings us to this week’s poll –
“When would you fire your Tara flare?”
When Willow leaves with a vamp in The Harvest – Girl code when seeing a girl leave the club with a creepy guy.
Willow's trip to the Hyena enclosure in The Pack – Throw peanuts as a distractions maybe?
Willow’s first email exchange with Moloch in I Robot, You Jane – The perils of internet dating in the 90s compels you!
Consoling Willow’s stage fright at the end of The Puppet Show – She’ll be supporting in the wings. Cowboys may vary.
Tentacle monster shenanigans in Prophecy Girl – Sometimes people need reminding they aren’t an anime character.
Signing up for the science Fair in Some Assembly Required – Photobomb all of Eric’s pictures.
Costume picking in Halloween – How about a slutty, stay at home, go to bed early, and don’t get involved costume?
Cookie eating in Ted – How about a carrot stick?
Under your spell in Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered – A good spell of common sense.
Imaginary frog attack in Killed by Death – Distract the frogs with imaginary flies.
Supernatural Sucking in I Only Have Eyes for You – A séance without Willow telling the dead to get over it.
Drusilla entering the Library in Becoming Part 1 – Tara could distract Drusilla Hahahahahahaha
Tentacle monster round two in The Zeppo – We won’t see it but we know something has happened.
Vamp Willow impersonation in Doppelgangland– Tara might help with the little gay part, not the acting.
Other – Kidnapped by Faith, dirty band van distractions, so many near misses, she might as well be a dartboard. What would Tara do to help? Or would it just be a little hallway interaction. Why are you firing your flare?
Tentacle monster shenanigans in Prophecy Girl. Second rewatch I remember telling the TV “It’s alright, Tara will save you. Not from this but she’d be in the vicinity.”
I’m a strong believer that Tara was right time, right place (for both of them) and so her addition to the high school years doesn’t interest me but the idea of Tara walking into the library for a book when this happens then walking back out because they’re busy, amuses me greatly. So I wouldn’t fire the flare to help Willow(top character in series 1 so not a dig at her), just to amuse me. I think high school Tara wouldn’t have the oomph to put up a physical/magical fight, especially at this point. No way she’s tackling a tentacle.
This might be putting her in danger though. Might not fire the flare after all.
