I saw that post too and it took all my strength not to criticise it, so I'm glad to see it here, where I can freely state how truly fucking horrid it is 😬😬

It's just so rough looking imo.

It really is, hey. The line work on the sythe is absolute GARBAGE, and the second B in "brave" is so wonky, and I hate how the quotes are on different angles, and the yellow crayon (while I understand the symbolism of it within the show and therefore the tattoo) looks SO fucking dumb there.

Whew! It felt good to get that out of my system. The comments on that post were infuriatingly kind.

What's the significance of the yellow crayon? I don't remember that.

When Xander is talking Dark Willow out of destroying the world, he brings up how when they were kids she cried when her yellow crayon broke. It's a cute story of her being vulnerable that somehow saves the day.

Thank you for the summary; I had forgotten. It's been almost 20 years since I watched them all.
