"I don't want to be an evil thing. I want to be good. I want to be pure."

"Embarrassing freak couple" is actually directly from the script of Fool For Love.

Honestly I've never seen a good argument for Buffy not loving Spike.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (1997 - 2003) ⏤ 6.01, Bargaining Part One

[messedupdoilies]

ppl acting like buffy ended the series single like she's being an independent woman will never stop being funny to me... likeee what actually happened is her confessing her love to someone who promptly died. its like going to a funeral and congratulating the grieving widow for becoming a girlboss who doesn't need a man, lmaoooo. She may very well be a girlboss but time and place, oh my god.

normal things to say if you have totally 100% never thought even one time about dating spike

buffy: Do you think I spent the last year with you because you had super powers? If that's what I wanted, then I'd be dating Spike

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

spike from buffy for my homie :) @malewifespike

[messedupdoilies]

there's something so fascinating about how the buffy writers said that the idea of buffy and spike together was unthinkable to them in the early seasons and yet you have moments like this

let's not forget about how this scene is supposed to be this confession to her "big" love interest (in which buffy does not pass the opportunity to mention how spike is the only one who can see right through her)

[messedupdoilies]

I think one of my favorite little details about spike's character is how he treated drusilla. he wasn't just "patient" with her disability, he actively treated it as just another thing about her to love. he verry rarely coddled her or tried to get her to be more present in a situation when she wasn't capable. (I can't think of a single time that he did but i feel like there were some when he was already upset at other people?). he learned to understand what she was saying even when it sounded like nonsense. when she was upset he comforted her, no matter how often it happened. when she started dancing he danced with her.

and we see in buffy 5x20 that it wasn't just his love for dru that made him act like that. when tara was incoherent and opened the window in the van, he didn't just immediately forgive her for burning him, he never got upset in the first place. he yelled, of course, because he was hurt, but as soon as willow started apologizing and trying to explain he just nodded. because it's no biggie! he already understands. some people are just like that, and he doesn't see accommodating that as the big deal that the people around him are making it out to be.

where is all the art that perfectly appeals specifically to my exact tastes and desires and nobody elses

Quite frankly the vibe Giles brings to his pseudo-parenting

[messedupdoilies]

watched like 7 seasons of buffy in half a month something is wrong with me anyway ... him

[messedupdoilies]

the reason buffy summers is a much better protagonist than a lot of the main characters in other teen supernatural shows is that those characters tend to be good people in a passive, boring way. they're generally nice and care about doing good, but they're rarely placed in situations where they have to make difficult decisions with no good outcomes, or pushed to extremes that force them to contend with the ugliest parts of themselves. btvs meanwhile is absolutely obsessed with the idea that passivity is inherently unethical. as such, in order for buffy to be a good person, she constantly has to make active choices. she never gets to be indecisive in the face of a moral dilemma. she always has to choose, to make tough calls, and that makes her genuine heroism and goodness far more compelling than a character who's just kind of passively nice.
