Some Spuffy?

such a fun -yummmy episode

[sayyoume]

Spike fully has no business being so intense and I am here for it like when Willow goes after Glory and Spike says "I'd do it, person I loved" as if no one specific and just theoretical while looking Buffy right in the eyes like girl, you're so chalant

[sayyoume]

Bro is smart

Spike saying "I happen to speak Fyarl" as though it's something he casually acquired but then he later says "funny hearing a Fyarl demon say serviceable... They're more like 'like to crush, crush now'"

Bro is FLUENT in Fyarl.

Bro STUDIED Fyarl.

I understand when people say that they're afraid to see not a good spuffy story. But I don't mean 'too much'. I mentioned 'just like a fact', not necessarily mean that they should show their relationship and especially often.

And I think that having someone in your life, a man that you love and he loves you back and supports you is not about that you need someone and without them you're not enough and so on. It's about love and about being happy and there's nothing bad in it. In my opinion.

Anyway as a spuffy shipper I prefer to let them know at least that a lot of people like it. Since bangel was pushed for a long time, including after the show period. They knew that people liked Spike but they didn't bother that much to promote and care about spuffy and spuffy shippers. Officially. Which lead to Sarah (besides having her own thoughts about it) thinking for a long time that bangel is more popular as well. In this case they for sure won't write anything good for spuffy. Looks like now they at least got the idea about spuffy being popular more. I hope it's enough but I still prefer to let them know.

My sparkle dies every time Sarah Michelle Gellar says she’s Bangel. For the love of God, don’t bring that into the revival.

The show wants me to like it and I do not, lol. It's the easiest way to support bangel because you don't need to look closer much, they push romance using logic 'just because' so hard. They love each other just because as default settings. It's so great and cool just because. They don't really know each other actually, they don't talk a lot besides demons narrative and besides the fact 'we can't be together but let's be'. They try to fascinate people with this fact of 'forbidden love' having no good base for the actual relationship to be there. But to understand all that a person needs to look closer, above the show's bangel narrative. They need to think for themselves. And it's smth that not everyone can do.

screaming into my palms why is bangel SO cute and yet also so so so awful. they make me so annoyed. their entire relationship is a wildly uncomfortable topic that they seem to love to bring up. I'm gonna melt every time they make each other smile like that

[sayyoume]

But why, as a spuffy shipper, are you afraid that they may show that she stayed with him? It's not about the series showing them together in every episode, but just a fact that she chose him and they're together. Does it really scare people?

My sparkle dies every time Sarah Michelle Gellar says she’s Bangel. For the love of God, don’t bring that into the revival.

everyone has thoughts about their sworn enemy's big pouty puppy dog eyes. it's NORMAL. and if Spike is good at anything, it's being normal :)

[sayyoume]

This would make a story more complex and interesting if we actually saw that. But no, they mostly use sex storyline because they wanted to show that she's using him for that and there's barely anything else except that here. Yes, she developed some kind of connection besides that but all such scenes were short and they didn't influence the main storyline much.

Underrated aspect of s6/7 is that for the most part, what we the audience see of Spike and Buffy's relationship in s6 is pretty toxic and extremely physical, though of course there are glimpses of genuine tenderness and friendship. BUT we get a lot of snippets of things that we weren't shown, like Spike knowing that Buffy likes ice on her neck, or Buffy saying that actually Billy Idol stole Spike's look. Just little hints and details at all the actual real conversations and moments of bonding that was going on offscreen between those two, something more than just a purely sexual fling. Which is why in s7 when Spike says "we're not best friends anymore" it's actually so devastating because yeah...they were each other's closest friends at that time :(

[sayyoume]

And she still didn't appreciate it enough in my opinion. While they made her run for Riley for what he did. And they made her keep that attitude towards him when he returned WITH HIS WIFE. After being away for 1 year.

the key difference between riley and spike is that both gave up their previously set beliefs for her and everything she showed them, but riley expected her love in return — as a condition for having given up his military career, until he didn’t get that, hurt her, and then still expected it until he gave up on her, on them — and spike didn’t. spike became a new man, first frustratingly so and fighting against it and then learning to accept it and give and give what he could for her, for dawn, taking every crumb and goading her into giving more but stalling and changing himself even more when he realised he’d hurt her and then waited for her to seek him out, keep seeking him out, and then just being by her side was enough (which got her to give him more.)

As @sanzosin said in their version, this ep was hilarious xD

[sayyoume]

The episode is an example of gaslighting from Whedon's team. The viewer is supposed to imagine that what happened earlier with Riley, how he left, what was his problem with her, what he said, what he blamed he in didn't happen or it was just 'well, let's forget it or come up with with any excuse why it's good' kind of logic. This way making you question basically every scene with other characters. Because you can have one narrative and then whenever you need it you can just ignore it or say that 'well, happens, let's move on and imagine another story here'. Cool.

im genuinely obsessed with s6 but as you were is top ten episodes of television

this episode has:

riley finn comes back with a big ass scar on his face and is like "buffy i need you for top secret cia fbi pta emergency" at her place of employment the buffyverse mcdonalds

he announces to buffy that he is married despite the fact that riley left no joke one season earlier which is about a year but go off king to a really cool woman who's just kind of there ngl she talks like a fuckboy which is awesome

at one point buffy to sam (rileys wife) is like "oh shit i gotta uh... look for stuff over there. vamps and whatnot" and sams like "aha cool" then buffy goes and fucks spike in his crypt and never returns to her

the criminal guy riley was looking for was spike all along, and the name they had for him was the doctor which is a crazy name for spike to fucking use and the episode is really weird about this plot twist. riley calls him doctor for an entire scene and he has a bunch of eggs in his basement/bedroom that riley and buffy gun down. all of spikes records and furniture is fucking destroyed and he does not give a fuck

i think in this one buffy and spike have sex in her backyard right as shes coming home from work to feed dawn which is just random detail

buffy has a convo with riley and idk this is alluded to inspire her to not be in the toxic situation with spikey anymore but one detail i have to mention is that before the big iconic "im using you scene" buffy changed into the prettiest lavender pretty outfit JUST to dump spike's ass. it's not the next day i dont think. spike is going through the rubble in his basement and buffy teleports in there wearing a cute outfit telling him its not working

in addition to that, we get buffy real naming spike

dawn says "i thought it would hurt less this time" to riley before he gets on the helicopter. dawn i feel like you didn't really fuck with riley like you didn't hate him ofc but relax he's just riley finn

everyone treats riley like he was the fonzie of buffy the vampire slayer or jesus christ. you guys did not like riley this much lmfao

i literally remember nothing else except iconic scene of riley walking in on buffy and spike together and spike says "she really did need some monster in her man" LMFAOOOO

oh and even though it's unclear if spike really was just holding them for a friend or whatever some theorize that it was to help buffy make money which i think makes the most sense lol but BESIDES that. buffy doesn't even give a fuck anyways. oh ok then what was this episode even???

anyways greatest episode of all time

[sayyoume]

one thing that's so sexy about Spike's character is that he is so self-aware, about his feelings, motives and he's so unapologetic about it all, and as self-loathing as he can be at the same time, most of all he's so self-aware of what he's good at, knows Buffy comes back to him in season 6 because he knows he makes her feel good, knows he has nothing to be scared of when he realises Wood is trying to kill him despite his soul because he knows how strong he is and you can just so clearly see it even though he's never the one we know it from

[sayyoume]

im late to this party but angel[us] saying that buffy gave him humanity and that isn't something he can forgive... VS spike, also without a soul, thanked buffy for making him feel like a man instead of a monster. hm. :')

[sayyoume]

spuffy icons cause i miss those freaks.

“I have a theory!”: Okay, this is probably not the first time someone has thought about this but WHAT IF the message from the PTB to Whistler that a vampire with a soul would help Buffy stop the apocalypse was actually about Spike and not Angel? It would explain why Whistler is confused of how things turn out in Season 2 and says “it wasn’t supposed to go like this”. It would also explain why Spike and Buffy are continually drawn to each other and why she has the instinct to keep him close in Season 7. I’ve always thought that some slayer part of her sensed he had an important role to play.
