Does Dawn know about W/T relationship?

[Tara]

YEs Bob I have come to believe that. It works 2 ways. It seems to fit the characters in that they wouldn't be so public about this, but it also serves as a way of "warming" up the audience. We know that by the time the kiss came, people were like finally!

I really have come to believe this because it has been a progression. From more touching by Tara, more terms of endearment, but still Willow wasn't doing that in public. Was it too terribly wrong of Tara to question Willow's commitment given this? The public side of Willow.

It isn't until Tough Love when Willow I think truly expresses how she truly feels and sees that maybe not showing it was making Tara afraid. So since then Willow too has been full of babies, loves, etc. She has been touching. It is why I think there is still more to come with that.

Willow can be a bit self-involved at times. A lot of what's been going on with her this year has been centered around her alone. It's been about Willow Becoming A Bad-Ass Wicca or Willow Being Gay. Dare we even suggest that Willow might have taken Tara for granted a time or two? So no Xita I don't it was wrong for Tara to question Willow's commitment or for Tara to feel a bit insecure. It took Glory's brain-suck to show both Willow and Tara how much Tara really means to Willow, and I agree that we'll see Willow taking her Tara-affection farther in the future.

When Dawn stayed with Willow and Tara during Intervention, Tara was definately sleeping on the floor. You see her in the scene where the BuffyBot shows up to talk to Willow. But, how many beds are there in the room? She probably gave Dawn the bed, but we didn't see where Willow was sleeping.

I'm more confused about how much Joyce knew about W/T. She did have that really funny line at the beginning of the season about giving up men, and there it seemed like she didn't know. And then Dawn was there and she had a few lines that made it seem like Joyce knew about their relationship.

That wasn't Willow's room, it was Xander's place. Willow was sleeping next to Tara. She grabbed her blanket off the floor to put around herself but you can just see the corner of her pillow next to Tara's.

i really think she knows, i mean look how she is about Xander & Anya, i know they aren't the most subtle of couples but she seems to see thourgh things that people say to her.

i think she must know that Willow & Tara have stronger feelings for each other than just friends & that they're involved. i just like to think that's she's open minded because of the life she's lived with Buffy & also because she's a smart kid. but i do hope we get to see a scene that shows properly that she's aware of what kind of relationship Willow & Tara have & that she accepts it, i'd hate to see them make a big deal about it though. i mean, i don't think it needs that!

Oh, yeah during intervention, Willow and Tara were sleeping next to each other on the floor. ANd this was Xander's room.

Yeah they were definitely sleeping next to each other on the floor at Xander's place. If I remember rightly, Xander's apartment only has one bedroom, that's why Anya was sleeping on the couch behind Tara, they must have given Dawnie the bedroom.

Going back to what Bob + Xita were saying, I don't think there's ever been any doubt about how much Willow loves Tara, but Tara has always been the more tactile of the two and the one to use the cute pet names. I'm sure this was deliberate, mainly coz Willow is normally a tactile kinda gal and I'm sure she is very tactile in private but she obviously felt somewhat uncomfortable showing affection in public with Tara.

I do agree with Bob, I think Willow did take Tara for granted to a certain extent, I mean Tara is so totally devoted to Willow, I guess it could be kind of easy to assume she would always be there. Tough Love was the catalyst for Willow to realise just how much she loved her, the argument, the brain-suck, kicking Glory's ass and finally comitting herself to Tara for the rest of her life, no matter what!

You see, that's why I love this show and W+T in particular, amongst all of the vampires and demons and the fantasy, their relationship is totally real and believable, out of adversity true love prevails and for Willow it was the unthinkable, losing Tara, that finally made her grow up and realise just how much she loved her. Yes Kitties, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of Willow lovin' next year!!!

Sorry got a bit carried away there!
