Go Away Angel, I’m Team Xander

I’ve recently been obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and it’s pretty much the best show ever…except for one thing.

Why the bloody hell is Buffy in love with Angel and not Xander? I mean she still loves him after he attempts to murder her, tortures Giles, kills Jenny, and almost kills Willow! Then in later seasons he leaves her! Yet she still loves him throughout the entire show, even though he’s a big ball of instability and death. Also, he’s probably one of the most overly dramatic vampires ever. Like, dude, shut up and go drink some blood.

What about Xander? He slays vampires and demons for her! I mean, he’s not very good at it, but it’s the thought that counts! Xander would never try to eat her either, which I feel is a very important component in a relationship. Cannibalism kind of puts a dent in love. It can get a bit awkward, when one party is digesting the other. On a brighter note, Xander can actually go out into sunlight and not get third degree burns! Plus, he’s really cute, too.

Most importantly? He’s not going to massacre the entire town, which I feel Buffy should have thought about before dating a vampire. They’re kind of known to, you know…eat people.

Xander is obviously the best choice for her.
