xander having an obsessive crush on buffy and being constantly judgy and weird about her all the time is such a shame because the few times they let them be normal friends their dynamic was top tier. like in episodes where just the two of them have to work together to figure something out and they actively make each other stupider. it's delightful.

“We can rest now”

21 years ago, Buffy chose her Champion.

21 years ago, she didn't go up those stairs.

21 years ago, Buffy chose the person she wanted to be with on what could have been her last night on earth.

"She'll tell you. Someday, she'll tell you."

21 years ago, she did.

21 years ago, Spuffy fans were gifted with the most romantic imagery from the whole damn show.

Happy 21 years of Spuffy being endgame.

10 TV Episodes for Halloween (part one)

The Angel posters where a faded vamp face version of himself is in the corner or something are literally everything to me.

But this one where it's his PUPPET SELF.

This one gives me life.

Do any of these episodes send you into a frothy rage if you think about how popular they are? rant away in the tags about it, go nuts!

buffy knows spike loves her during season five. buffy knows spike loves her when she comes back and seeks comfort/silence in his presence. and as she comes back to herself and tries to make peace with the fact that she’s Here Again, she still knows he loves her. and i think part of the Big Bad Grabbing The Slayer For The Darkness routine they both cling to is that it allows them to pretend this huge thing isn’t between them so they can get what they both want (someone to stay).

and like obviously buffy cannot allow herself to believe that he loves her for many reasons, but she DOES believe it, she can’t make herself unknow it even though she tries so hard. which is partially where the breakdown with tara in 6.13 comes from because the cognitive dissonance of soulless spike loving her as if he has a soul while she is so lost within herself that the only way she can reach for him is to use him (which would be fine if he was the big bad grabbing the slayer for the darkness) which is hurting him! unfathomably! but he’s supposed to be the corruption! how can he??? any of it???

meanwhile spike has watched the woman he loves be brought back as a shell and he wants to see the light in her eyes and he can touch her now and sometimes that’s enough to make her laugh but he can’t linger in those moments or she’ll go away again! so he can play the role he needs to play so she’ll stay, as if he could keep her anywhere she didn’t want to be. as if he wants her to be in the dark instead of bringing him into the light. but how could he ask for anything more when he already got her back and he didn’t even need to kill her afterwards.

and so they hurt each other and he forgets himself and asks her if she even likes him and it’s too honest and he’s asking too much (he asks for nothing) so before she can throw her life away like it’s nothing, he puts the game face on, makes himself a target, and swallows it all. and she can’t unknow. and it would all be fine except he’s a vampire and she’s the slayer and how can he just say it like it’s nothing when she needs to beat his face in just to keep from screaming.
