One of the most exciting things about great art in modern culture is that it inspires so much other great art as well as criticism with everyone having access to the conversation and their own platforms with which to engage. With the internet celebrating Buffy the Vampire Slayer's 20th anniversary, we can't totally bypass the opportunity to celebrate with them. After the jump five links you should definitely read and five tweets we enjoyed...

Instagram -Sarah Michelle Gellar's thank you to Joss Whedon for giving her "one of the greatest female character ever created" Amen
Vulture -Buffy's Legacy" by our virtual friend Angelica Jade Bastién who's written a few times here at TFE but is in such high demand these days we've had trouble snagging her again.
c|net an interview with Tom Lenk, who played the endearing sometime villain Andrew on his history with the show and its LGBT fandom
Vox - Episode Rank -I'm so sad that "Beer Bad" always comes in last. It is not the worst episode of this awesome show (which definitely had a clunk here and there across its 7 seasons). But they're totally right about the best three episodes (give or take the ranking which fluctuates depending on the day)
Vulture - Female Rivalries on Buffy Bastién again on our favorite aspect of the show: Buffy vs Faith

Buffy has supernatural elements, but is based on fact: teen girls & librarians will save us all from the Hellmouth
