I'm kind of shocked that (as far as I know), no one has gifed Xander in season four of Buffy saying to her: "I've gone through some fairly dark times in my life. When it was dark, and I'm all alone, and I'm scared or freaked out, whatever. I always think: 'What would Buffy do?'" with that episode of Supernatural and the Ghost Facers: "WWBD: What Would Buffy do?"

(ID in alt) I MADE THIS LAST MONTH AND COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO POST IT TIL NOW. I was knee-deep in Buffy the vampire slayer when I made this. Damian's favourite character is Spike I think

this is true for many btvs dynamics but part of the reason that buffygiles hits so hard is that their relationship is lovely and sweet and also pretty bad a lot of the time for a variety of reasons, but mainly that they're both incapable of expressing how much they actually care about each other. in an age of tv where every character is using therapy speak to perfectly communicate to the audience and to their scene partner exactly how they're feeling, realistically bad communication between two emotionally constipated weirdos, one of whom is a very traumatized young person and the other is a middle-aged british man, is honestly pretty refreshing.

How did Frisk react when Chara was revived? How did Chara react? Was there a crushing hug?

Chara was revived at the exact place where they were buried. So they had to crawl out from there. Which wasn't the most pleasant awakening, as you can imagine.

They spent the first minutes of their second life retching, learning to breathe again and coughing dirt from their respiratory system, eyes watering and with the feeling they were suffocating and drowning.

Frisk... when they understood what was happening, helped dig them out. They hugged Chara as soon as they were able, but Chara wasn't exactly ready and wouldn't accept a touch, it had to be expected. Then when they could breathe a little more normally, Frisk helped them stand, walk and find them some water to drink. They kept close, never leaving their side.

The hugs would come somehow, though.

Modern BBC Merlin AU where instead of sorcerers they're vampires and Arthur is just as oblivious that his roommate Merlin is hiding anything from him. Bonus points if the Pendragons are vampire hunters.

Leon: Why does Merlin never have lunch with us? Arthur: He usually sleeps in because he stays up way too late. We'll see him around dinner time.

Gwaine: Are you sure you don't want to head to the beach with us? Arthur, answering for Merlin: Look at how pale he is, he'll burn right up. Not to mention the sun hurts his "sensitive" eyes. Lancelot: *sweats*

Uther: Arthur, why did you remove the crosses and other protections on your apartment? Arthur: Oh, religion makes my roommate uncomfortable.

forgot that in this episode of Torchwood, Ianto (played by GDL) does indeed suggest cutting someone's hand off as a solution to the problem of the person attached to the hand going to Explode. just another fun little Solas parallel for Me. as a treat

I know it's a very niche joke, but that's the first thing I think of seeing all the headlines and comments like "whoa, is it possible that he is a russian asset? hmmmmmm that's a real head scratcher..."

You know what's really sad about Marinette's character writing?

It's that in the past, there have been female protagonists out there who were written by men, but not because they went "Haha we can write women because get it, we're men." UwU, it's because they knew how to write them, what flaws to give them, and what made them likable. Two of the biggest examples I can give you are Buffy Summers and She-Ra/Princess Adora. Both are very likable characters, but what made them work was the arcs they went through, the relationships they developed, and the journeys they had to go on to help them grow as people.

Marinette's arc is just her getting with Adrien, and once that's done, she has nothing else to do but save the world; and now that she's got him, what else is there for her to go through? She's just gonna do the same "wash rinse repeat" crap, but now with a whole team of heroes we barely give a fuck about.

ok but consider ascended astarion but his features become more bat-like when experiencing extreme emotions, like giving into anger, in the midst of a fight or hunting, because

(on season 3 fyi)

my hot take is that i actually love the idea of spuffel but i hate interpretations that are like “spike and angel are healthily in love and buffy is just their ex who is allowed to join”

like, let’s discuss.

those vamps are so in love with her it literally changes the fabric of their fates. spike gets a soul for her. they’ve both lived and died for her.

buffy anne summers, slayer, saver of the world (a lot), and most beautiful girl in california, is not the add-on.

not to mention— i think spike and angel could manage healthy relationships on their own, but not with each other on their own. not with their history.

i think if they tried they’d fall back into the drusilla/fanged foursome dynamic where “love” is about punishment and ownership and the blurred line between pain and pleasure.

but to be with buffy, i think she’d lay down the law and let them know pretty bluntly that she’s not going to be drusilla. she’s not going to pit them against each other or sit back as they do it themselves. she’s not going to be babysitting fighting children in her relationship.

she’s their lover, not their referee, and if they’re going to love her the way she deserves, they have to learn to love each other too.

not like vampires do, but like the humans they once were. like men with souls with a light in their life they want to keep.

^^ buffy to spike and angel

in conclusion spike/buffy/angel >>>> spangel/buffy and i’ll stand by this.
