I never knew how much 12 year old me loved her until I met her and literally was on the verge of tears. She made my heart so happy and full just from a glance. When I finally got to speak to her, she said this was for 12 year old me and you guys...my heart 😭
Annnnnd now I'm crying. Damn, I will never be over Tara's death. I love that Amber was at clexacon this year, since Tara's death was kinda the one that started the whole bury your gays trope. As much as I love Buffy the vampire slayer, I'll never forgive Joss for creating that trope.
I agree with the fact that Buffy did popularise the trope in a more modern setting. But I think the trope dates back to the Hays code, where if someone commited a crime on screen they'd have to be punished, so if you had a gay character, the form of punishment would most likely be death. But I'm uncertain, correct me if I'm wrong.
I think the trope was always gonna get popular but thanks to him it started early not in 2010 or something like that. He also made a gay character whi was a rolemodel, and a good one. He inspired so many gay teens and adult to embrace themselfs.
Wtf they had a gay relationship for multiple seasons and she just HAPPENED to die. It’s not like no other major characters die during the run of the show. This is not like Destiel. Now that is bury your gays.
I met Amber at New York ComicCon couple of years ago. She was extremely friendly and signed my Tara figure and took a picture. Really pleasant person. It's so refreshing when you finally get to meet people you grow up watching and admire and they are way more nicer than you could have ever imagined. Thank you Amber for leaving such a great impression. You rule!
Amber Benson is most likely the girl I have always dreamed of, and not only in the series, but in general in my life, in reality this is the embodiment of an angel, with whom I want to live forever, the ideal of my illusions and this is my transcendent love. I love you Amber love you very much!
So amazing that she got to see this vid and that you captured her reaction. I would love to see someone I admired watching something I created and was inspired to create because of them. That is so amazing! Amber being at Clexacon talking about Tara and her impact was something I didn't know I needed for 17 years and I'm glad I finally got to see it! Hopefully, we will get to see the namesakes of Clexacon in this situation. Maybe someday.
I loved Tara so much, i related so much to her on the aspect of being shy and reseved, i really hope to find someone who is in love with me just like Willow was of Tara and viceversa !! .
there is nothing like tara's character- and im not saying she was super fleshed out in the show or anything, im saying amber benson managed to put so much into tara's essence of beauty and that delicate softness mixed with the sharp witchy intuition so well haha. I also love how Willow as a character feels and together it was perfect
As Tara died on season six episode 19 and Warren got flayed alive on episode 20, Warren will be burning in hell and Tara will be watching over the Scooby Gang in Heaven
Here is the video she watched backstage: ua-cam.com/video/tfJfFdRgC9Y/v-deo.html
10 years later it would have been taracon

I live in Australia, I’ll never meet her.
Amber Benson is the awesomest! Such a pure human being ❤️
Still my favorite show, still hurts the way Tara left 😭 what an icon!

I love so much that you touched her with this video.
Hearing her say "I'm crying at myself" was priceless!
Amber Benson looks good really good! Can’t wait to watch the panel 🙌🏼
RIP Tara 😭💔❤️ love you forever ♾
The best character of the Buffyverse, Tara
Tara shouldnt have died, that slayer willow was with after was so random like they just wanted her to get with someone before the show ended.
How can you not fall in love with her ?
*The amount of times I have watched this...*
She is so cute reacting 😍 can't wait for the panel
Me muero es tan hermosa! Mi mejor personaje

Every year during clexacon I come back and watch this. It's the most emotional, genuine, and heartfelt reaction ever. I love her.
The awwwww in the 1st second of the clip got me. This is super adorable and nice.
OMG im crying with her, so touching, shes so cute, thanks for the video
It is a little bit embarrassing how many times I have watched this by now.....

The best couple in the show by far they are such a huge inspiration to me and the show would not be the same without them love Amber and Allyson!
2020 and she still looks beautiful
I loved Tara so much, i related so much to her on the aspect of being shy and reseved, i really hope to find someone who is in love with me just like Willow was of Tara and viceversa !! .

03:23 - 03:28 I would have *LOVED* if all the audience said out loud:"We're family."along with Buffy.How cool would have that been?!🤩
