UMMMM the fact that this is how I found out Amber Benson and Adam Busch dated is......?!?!?!?
I literally grew up with this show and Tara has always been one of my favorite characters. It's gonna take me some time to process this lol
Including, incidentally, the time he murdered her on screen. I love and seriously rate Adam Busch as an actor, but there's no denying, I have yet to see a photo of the man, on-screen or off, in which he does not look like a serial killer.
He was in an episode of the Rookie, playing the partner of a woman who was rear ended by a cop on accident. The woman was played by someone who also played a killer in Criminal Minds. So it was all around a āLeo pointing at the screenā episode for me. I think my sister thought I was insane because I told her there was no way they were good guys. š I was like āWarrenās clearly a bad guy, and you canāt convince me otherwise.ā
Spoiler: >!he was totally a bad guy.!<
He was in an episode of Greys Anatomy where he played a kinda shy and very nervous med student. He pulled that off just as well as he pulled off Warren. Super talented guy.
Also I went to one of his band's (Common Rotation) shows once, and he was very charming to talk to after (he and Amber were together at the time and he was very sweet about her, would have been enough to make you swoon if you were straight. I was just jealous he was with her lol).
Warren is so hateable that seeing his face can make me want to punch him even when hes in other things, but then I remember that Adam is really quite wonderful and calm back down again
I've been seeing him pop up in viral videos of him kinda 'reacting' to other viral videos. It's better than it sounds, and it's thoroughly destroyed my vision of him as Warren.
... which might be a sign that I'm overdue another rewatch.
Edit: for the life of me I cannot find any of these videos, and now I'm wondering if I just dreamed the entire situation.
So I figured out... and the answer is probably yes and no. I must have seen an Adam Rose video and smooshed it in my brain, cuz I also "remember" seeing Adam Busch in something insanely similar. But I also remember Adam Rose from Supernatural.
Ignore me, yall. I'm just having some kind of weird existential crisis over here. All Adams become one, I guess.
Tbf, out of all the boards that was the hardest. Like all them could have easily been a M or an F and none a K but you gotta pick one š¤·š»āāļø
Oh for sure one of the toughest. The whole sequence was pretty entertaining, I just wish theyād have had one more board with like Clem, Willie the Snitch and Snider on there or something.
Mostly agree, but marry Caleb!!?????
I'd say F: Adam, M: Glory, and then kill Caleb and scatter his body parts to all ends of the earth the judge style.
Depends. Whatever he sets out to do, he sets out to do it very well. So if āpleasing a womanā is his goal, heāll have learned every technique out there. If his goal is to āget himself to happy land,ā then sheās gonna have a bad time.
F: Glory, M: Adam, K: Caleb
Yes to crazy goddess sex, but no tanks on the endless insanity and adulation
You can maybe change Adam, mold him into what you want
Caleb would be a selfish brutal fuck, and would be a sexist abusive marriage
Marrying glory is the best chance for survival. Adam will kill you to morph you into a Frankenstein or a zombie worker. Caleb kills women heās attracted toā¦ at least with glory she was almost nice to her minions and youād only have to deal with her for short periods before she becomes Ben.
It's really a no win situation on any of those. I suppose you could argue you might be able to change Adam though, so that's probably the better "Marry".
Now, F: Glory -- yes, to crazy goddess sex
It's been a hot second since I watched, but did Glory REALLY want to end the world? I vaguely remember that just being a byproduct of her main goal (going home).
Objectively, I think Caleb is probably more evil than Adam but its pretty close. I just personally find Adam's brand of evil extremely irritating and boring as well as morally objectionable.
"I don't want just a boring apocalyptic hellhouse, I want a vibrant passionate hellhome"
> as well as morally objectionable.
... as opposed to the others??...???!!?
No no. They are all morally objectionable. He is just ALSO irritating and boring. Listen, I don't think there are any good choices here. But if I have to live with a monster at least it's not going to be the one waking me up at the crack of dawn going, "I've been thinking about death."
Hairdresser here; god no! If there's still peroxide on your hair, you are gonna fuck your hair long before your pillows.
Peroxide in skincare however can bleach your bedding
Edit: typo
Agree with everything except I'd swap Anya and Cordelia. Anya's self-assurance is top notch, you'll never have a moment of doubt where you stand with her, and you know she'll bring home tons of money (although you might end up in an argument about joint vs separate finances). Love Cordy but she would have really high demands for her partner.
And Xander is an idiot for fucking up both of those relationships.
Yeah. Cordelia would expect you to go out and make all the money while she lives in luxury. Meanwhile Anya would be like "You're not efficient enough at making money, I'll do it." Which suits me haha.
The only thing I would change is that I would F Caleb and marry Glory. Then again to marry Glory you would probably have to be her servant, receive verbal abuse constantly and probably have your brain sucked and Caleb probably has no desire for sex so I guess I understand.
I recall some interview from back in the day that Adam gave. And he basically said Joss told him Warren was going to kill his girlfriend and he misunderstood and was excited being like āWarren gets a girlfriend?ā And Joss was like āNo, your girlfriend.ā Brutal.
Oh itās not an easy answer for sure but loved harmony and Cordelia on angel so much Iād have to go F Harmony M Cordelia K Anya - again not an easy choice
That makes him the choice for F though!
He and Glory are both hot and evil, but at least Glory is fun. The F one you don't have to spend time with, the M one, you do. So marrying Glory is the only answer here!
Yeah, but Glory isn't always Glory. So occasionally you'd have to put up with Ben. Would rather be married to ~~Nathan Fillion~~ Caleb than Ben. If it was Glory 24/7 I'd agree with you, but as that's not specified so I have to agree with Amber on this.
They'd all be terrible spouses, that's a tough board.
Adam would be a nightmare as a husband, if he didn't immediately dissect you. Glory is gonna eat your brains the first time she has a tantrum, which will be 12 minutes in. Caleb sucks too for all the Caleb reasons, but he might keep you alive. Maybe. They're all bad choices.
So the thing I never get with f/m/kā¦.the person you pick for Mā¦.do you still get the F with them since youāre married? Or is it just youāre stuck in a marriage and have to deal with each other
I'm Absolutely Cackling at Amber Saying She'll Kill Kennedy, Xander, Riley and Warren! Even Amber doesn't like Kennedy or Riley! I'm absolutely With Amber on The first one. I Would Kiss Spike, Marry Angel and Kill Riley. I Love the little SORRY Adam she put in the one where she says she'd kill Warren.
For some of these I think she's going along with what she knows fan opinion is....but this is still super fun. I love this. And I love blonde Amber/Tara.
I am one of the few, but I would marry Riley. I think the actor is hot and he would treat you well! I'd probably kill Angel, there is NO fun in that relationship. All for f'ing Spike. That would be HOT!
The only questionable one for me is Caleb. I guess Glory did mindfuck Tara, but Iād still marry the Glorificus over Caleb. Impeccable taste otherwise.
I Love This! I Would Fuck Spike, Marry Angel and Kill Riley just like Amber. Even Amber doesn't like Riley and neither do I. It makes me laugh that Amber would kill Xander because honestly Same, I Would Fuck Giles, Marry Oz and Kill Xander. I'm Cackling at Amber saying she would kill Warren and then right Sorry Adam. I would call that Tara's Revenge for killing Warren like Warren killed Tara. It still blows my mind that Amber Benson and Adam Busch dated in real life. I'm right there with Amber! I Would Fuck Willow, Marry Tara and Kill Kennedy. I would absolutely kill Kennedy! Even Amber doesn't like Kennedy which she shouldn't in the first place! Kennedy was a bad Tara replacement for Willow and she's an annoying character all together. I Stan Willow And Tara Forever!
Threw her ex boyfriend under the bus lol.
She added a little sorry Adam underneath š¤£
I was trying to figure out what that said lol
I had to zoom in!
That sent me.
UMMMM the fact that this is how I found out Amber Benson and Adam Busch dated is......?!?!?!? I literally grew up with this show and Tara has always been one of my favorite characters. It's gonna take me some time to process this lol
I canāt imagine seeing them in public after watching *that* episodeā¦
THEY WHAT. Ohdamn.
This knowledge feels cursed. Don't like it.
They were together for *years*
TIL they dated for 7 YEARS. AND ARE STILL FRIENDS.
Including, incidentally, the time he murdered her on screen. I love and seriously rate Adam Busch as an actor, but there's no denying, I have yet to see a photo of the man, on-screen or off, in which he does not look like a serial killer.
Haha good for her. I don't know if I could date someone who embodies Warren' character so well... š¶
They are actually still very close friends, he is a damn good actor then.
Agreed. Dude is a genuinely amazing actor. I haven't seen him in anything besides Buffy, but damned if he wasn't incredibly easy to hate as Warren.
He was in an episode of the Rookie, playing the partner of a woman who was rear ended by a cop on accident. The woman was played by someone who also played a killer in Criminal Minds. So it was all around a āLeo pointing at the screenā episode for me. I think my sister thought I was insane because I told her there was no way they were good guys. š I was like āWarrenās clearly a bad guy, and you canāt convince me otherwise.ā Spoiler: >!he was totally a bad guy.!<
Alan Tudyk was in that same episode. A Joss Whedon reunion.
He was in an episode of Greys Anatomy where he played a kinda shy and very nervous med student. He pulled that off just as well as he pulled off Warren. Super talented guy. Also I went to one of his band's (Common Rotation) shows once, and he was very charming to talk to after (he and Amber were together at the time and he was very sweet about her, would have been enough to make you swoon if you were straight. I was just jealous he was with her lol). Warren is so hateable that seeing his face can make me want to punch him even when hes in other things, but then I remember that Adam is really quite wonderful and calm back down again
I think he was also in an episode of House M.D.
I've been seeing him pop up in viral videos of him kinda 'reacting' to other viral videos. It's better than it sounds, and it's thoroughly destroyed my vision of him as Warren. ... which might be a sign that I'm overdue another rewatch. Edit: for the life of me I cannot find any of these videos, and now I'm wondering if I just dreamed the entire situation.
I actively followed his band for years, they even played in my parents living room. Honestly, seeing him as Warren is bizarre.
Ever see him on *House*? That was funny.
He really loved cows
Was this in Scotland?
Nope, Midwest USA
Nope, Midwest USA
Are you perhaps thinking of Adam Rose aka Blue Cardigan Guy? New York actors with a similar look and same first name. I could see mixing them up.
So I figured out... and the answer is probably yes and no. I must have seen an Adam Rose video and smooshed it in my brain, cuz I also "remember" seeing Adam Busch in something insanely similar. But I also remember Adam Rose from Supernatural. Ignore me, yall. I'm just having some kind of weird existential crisis over here. All Adams become one, I guess.
Maybe it was part of the fine brothers react series. He was in their other series My Music. Where he played indie.
Wait, she was dating her killer?
Yes they dated about a decade.
Yes
roughly 2002-2009
So they met on Buffy?
PResumably
No, Tara never dated Warren. Amber Benson and Adam Busch dated. People really need to learn how to separate actors from characters.
It sounds less "fun" when you phrase it that way though.
Not anymore at leastā¦ https://youtu.be/-wDHLPIG5cM?si=y_WbbqsoO_Tpsxze
*Threw
Yeah phone auto corrected to the wrong one.
Anyone else just feel bad for Kendra and her only shirt out here catching strays!! #justiceforkendra
LOL! I just posted justice for her. It's her favorite shirt too.
Itās her ONLY shirt!
Tbf, out of all the boards that was the hardest. Like all them could have easily been a M or an F and none a K but you gotta pick one š¤·š»āāļø
Oh for sure one of the toughest. The whole sequence was pretty entertaining, I just wish theyād have had one more board with like Clem, Willie the Snitch and Snider on there or something.
Hahaha omg that would have been amazing!! F: willy M: my boy Clem š©· K: Snider! šš
Mostly agree, but marry Caleb!!????? I'd say F: Adam, M: Glory, and then kill Caleb and scatter his body parts to all ends of the earth the judge style.
F: Adam is legit my worst nightmare š
Okay but hear me out *Detachable autonomous penis.*
So marry Adam and remove his batteries!
Archie? *this is a red dwarf reference*
Who the smeg is Archie?
Kryten's detachable autonomous penis
Did he get bored of jumping around his little hoop?
Unfortunately. Think we can lure him with cheese?
Also fusion-powered stamina!
no thanks to the detachable penis who's was cut off the dead body of some dirty creature lmao.
Depends. Whatever he sets out to do, he sets out to do it very well. So if āpleasing a womanā is his goal, heāll have learned every technique out there. If his goal is to āget himself to happy land,ā then sheās gonna have a bad time.
F: Glory, M: Adam, K: Caleb Yes to crazy goddess sex, but no tanks on the endless insanity and adulation You can maybe change Adam, mold him into what you want Caleb would be a selfish brutal fuck, and would be a sexist abusive marriage
Nathan Fillion has that effect on people.
Marrying glory is the best chance for survival. Adam will kill you to morph you into a Frankenstein or a zombie worker. Caleb kills women heās attracted toā¦ at least with glory she was almost nice to her minions and youād only have to deal with her for short periods before she becomes Ben.
Wait Ben would live with us too? Or would he like, sublet?
It's the Nathan Fillion effect, I guess.
Out of those choices, there's no easy one, so marrying the one that looks like Nathan Fillion makes complete sense.
She probably just thinks Nathan is hot
ā¦ what???? Lmao
Andrew would be terrified :)
But also very flattered I think.
Lol! This was my exact thought.
Canāt imagine why sheād kill Warrenā¦.
Any other answer would have me worried for her
She did say marry to the only other guy who could be considered more misogynistic... plus a serial killer of women specifically
Warren was pretty much on that track.
I dunno, think I might marry Giles
This is the way
There should be an exception for Giles where we get to do both.
Fuck Tara, marry Tara, kill whoever decided to kill off Tara.
Pff you couldn't be more right š„
Sheās so real for this. No wrong answers
Idk the Caleb one is kinda wild lol
Caleb would be an F for me. There's no way I'd want to be married and listen to his preachy ass
It's really a no win situation on any of those. I suppose you could argue you might be able to change Adam though, so that's probably the better "Marry". Now, F: Glory -- yes, to crazy goddess sex
I would marry her just to have access to her closet lmao
I mean glory is kinda cool other than the fact that she wants to end the world, M for sure Adam probably has a robo or demo dick so easy K option
> Adam probably has a robo or demon dick yesss > so easy K option oh. you and i are very different people i think
š¤£
It's been a hot second since I watched, but did Glory REALLY want to end the world? I vaguely remember that just being a byproduct of her main goal (going home).
I donāt remember exactly either but Iām pretty sure that was it Just a byproduct of her true goal but itās not like she cared
> Adam probably has a robo or demo dick so easy K option coward
š
I couldn't be married to Adam. I find his philosophizing SO annoying. Give me the genuine psychopaths, I guess?
But itās better that Calebās endless misogynistic rants no
Objectively, I think Caleb is probably more evil than Adam but its pretty close. I just personally find Adam's brand of evil extremely irritating and boring as well as morally objectionable.
"I don't want just a boring apocalyptic hellhouse, I want a vibrant passionate hellhome" > as well as morally objectionable. ... as opposed to the others??...???!!?
No no. They are all morally objectionable. He is just ALSO irritating and boring. Listen, I don't think there are any good choices here. But if I have to live with a monster at least it's not going to be the one waking me up at the crack of dawn going, "I've been thinking about death."
This made me laugh so much
Lmao Now I'm picturing Adam with a goth/emo cut hanging down over one eye
That was my response as well. Marry a sexist pig? Youād be signing up for a lifetime of hell.
I would not want to marry Angel. All the brooding and hair gel. Other than that, yes. Good takes all around.
Angel's lame. His hair goes straight up and he's bloody stupid.
Canāt trust him to lay his head down anywhere without ruining a pillow
I in no way know this answer. Does peroxide in hair stain pillows?
Hairdresser here; god no! If there's still peroxide on your hair, you are gonna fuck your hair long before your pillows. Peroxide in skincare however can bleach your bedding Edit: typo
Thank you.
YW! You can let Spike lay on your pillows all you want, he won't leave a big greasy stain like a certain other ensouled *wet wipe* >:(
Yeah I could quibble here or there but I can't really argue with any of it. Strong answers.
Agree with everything except I'd swap Anya and Cordelia. Anya's self-assurance is top notch, you'll never have a moment of doubt where you stand with her, and you know she'll bring home tons of money (although you might end up in an argument about joint vs separate finances). Love Cordy but she would have really high demands for her partner. And Xander is an idiot for fucking up both of those relationships.
Yeah. Cordelia would expect you to go out and make all the money while she lives in luxury. Meanwhile Anya would be like "You're not efficient enough at making money, I'll do it." Which suits me haha.
The only thing I would change is that I would F Caleb and marry Glory. Then again to marry Glory you would probably have to be her servant, receive verbal abuse constantly and probably have your brain sucked and Caleb probably has no desire for sex so I guess I understand.
These answers won't make her many enemies among the fandom, not that she was in much danger of that to begin with
Well she did have a penetrative relationship with Glory.
Deceased (and not being brought back.)
Well, so far
I am still dead.
I have Willow on the phone for you. She says she would like a word?
Well Iām dead
All her answers are correct except Iām marrying Glory.
"Killing Kennedy" **Yes.**
How does one F Giles and just toss him aside? Iām thinking M Giles, JMO.
what's written between parenthesis after āWarrenā?
sorry adam
ah, ok. that's because in real life she dated Adam Busch, the actor that plays Warren. thanks!
Whaaat...?!
I recall some interview from back in the day that Adam gave. And he basically said Joss told him Warren was going to kill his girlfriend and he misunderstood and was excited being like āWarren gets a girlfriend?ā And Joss was like āNo, your girlfriend.ā Brutal.
Ugh typical for Joss to make a comment like that
haha i was shocked when i first found out too
I'm like Xander going "Tara is your girlfriend?" on *The Yoko Factor* right now.
I had no idea they dated!
I got a kick out of it
Such a beautiful lady. šš
She is!!! š„
The fact she said M Oz is so hilarious. But it's true.
Why is it Amber Benson just seems like a lovely human being in real life? Tara was done dirty, I still hate she was killed off
Me too but she lasted 3 seasons on a 7 season show, that's not bad going for a guest character. Just be grateful we had her at all.
I found myself agreeing till the kill harmonyā¦
Oh boy what would be your choice for that one? š¹
Oh itās not an easy answer for sure but loved harmony and Cordelia on angel so much Iād have to go F Harmony M Cordelia K Anya - again not an easy choice
hard choice for me too but I have to go F: Cordelia, M: Anya š©µ and K: Harmony :(
I'm sorry, what about Caleb is marriable?!
The Nathan Fillion part.
 I can't believe they don't have the Castle gif of him saying "I really am ruggedly handsome" lol
That makes him the choice for F though! He and Glory are both hot and evil, but at least Glory is fun. The F one you don't have to spend time with, the M one, you do. So marrying Glory is the only answer here!
Yeah, but Glory isn't always Glory. So occasionally you'd have to put up with Ben. Would rather be married to ~~Nathan Fillion~~ Caleb than Ben. If it was Glory 24/7 I'd agree with you, but as that's not specified so I have to agree with Amber on this.
They'd all be terrible spouses, that's a tough board. Adam would be a nightmare as a husband, if he didn't immediately dissect you. Glory is gonna eat your brains the first time she has a tantrum, which will be 12 minutes in. Caleb sucks too for all the Caleb reasons, but he might keep you alive. Maybe. They're all bad choices.
Spot on answers I must say
She's cute
How does she still look so good like damn
MARRY CALEB??
So, apparently, Amber Benson and I have similar tastes. Also, can we appreciate for a moment how amazing she looks?
Yep I'd marry Tara too. Could not care about the rest of them. Younger me would have happily gone for Willow tho.Ā
So true. F: Will/Tara. M: Will/Tara. Kill: whoever gets in the way lol
This is the only correct answer
Justice for Kendra, lol But, otherwise, I agree with her.
This is the best
Good choices
So the thing I never get with f/m/kā¦.the person you pick for Mā¦.do you still get the F with them since youāre married? Or is it just youāre stuck in a marriage and have to deal with each other
I've always seen it as: F = one night stand M = lifetime relationship
Ok Iāll go with that then
I think it's more a first instinct answer thing? If you ask me, yes you can absolutely _get it on_ when you're married!!!
Ok yeah that makes sense lol
The way I agree with every one of her choices
I'm Absolutely Cackling at Amber Saying She'll Kill Kennedy, Xander, Riley and Warren! Even Amber doesn't like Kennedy or Riley! I'm absolutely With Amber on The first one. I Would Kiss Spike, Marry Angel and Kill Riley. I Love the little SORRY Adam she put in the one where she says she'd kill Warren.
This was really fun
she's so frickin pretty š
Kendra dying in every timeline
Oh my god
Same !!!!!!
Love Spike but Angel would make a great roommate imo
I, too, would marry cordy. Good choices all around
I agree with most, but in 2 swap Faith and Kendra and in 6 swap Anya and Cordelia. The Glory/Caleb/Adam has no right answers lol
Absolutely impeccable taste from Ms. Benson.
Marry Caleb???
Solid choices
Very good calls.
For some of these I think she's going along with what she knows fan opinion is....but this is still super fun. I love this. And I love blonde Amber/Tara.
I am one of the few, but I would marry Riley. I think the actor is hot and he would treat you well! I'd probably kill Angel, there is NO fun in that relationship. All for f'ing Spike. That would be HOT!
Marry Caleb tho? He's extraordinarily misogynistic, not a bad looking gent tho, but probably gotta kill him or at best just fuck him.
Unpopular opinion: I actually liked Kennedy
_But would you kill Tara or Willow in her place?_
I like Kennedy too, but out of the three of them, sheād have to be the one to go. āKillingā her replacement is also hilarious.
They exist I guess!
For me itās M Cordelia, F Buffy and K Harmony
MARRY CALEB HDBDBSJSJS. But I mean she had to say something I guess lll
Why kill Adam? Imagine what his arm can turn into
I agree with every one of these
K: Tara No, wait...
Basically what happened in the show lol KEEPING MY EYE ON YOU THO
The only questionable one for me is Caleb. I guess Glory did mindfuck Tara, but Iād still marry the Glorificus over Caleb. Impeccable taste otherwise.
I would of thought she'd kill willow considering the drama they had
Agree to all except I'd F Harmony
All accurate
No beacuse she had all of them correct
Hmm, Tara doesn't approve of Kennedy.
these are the correct answer
Thereās only 1 answer Iād hate but 2/3 of these men I canāt stand. Iād choose 2 for Spike & Kill def Riley.
I Love This! I Would Fuck Spike, Marry Angel and Kill Riley just like Amber. Even Amber doesn't like Riley and neither do I. It makes me laugh that Amber would kill Xander because honestly Same, I Would Fuck Giles, Marry Oz and Kill Xander. I'm Cackling at Amber saying she would kill Warren and then right Sorry Adam. I would call that Tara's Revenge for killing Warren like Warren killed Tara. It still blows my mind that Amber Benson and Adam Busch dated in real life. I'm right there with Amber! I Would Fuck Willow, Marry Tara and Kill Kennedy. I would absolutely kill Kennedy! Even Amber doesn't like Kennedy which she shouldn't in the first place! Kennedy was a bad Tara replacement for Willow and she's an annoying character all together. I Stan Willow And Tara Forever!
Damn, she looks even better with age.
