#buffy: w a t

[unknownunseenunheard]

Faith's return in season 4 is so funny because, like

Faith: Okay look, I know you stabbed me and put me in a coma then blew up my kinda dad, but also half my rage against you is because you won't let me fuck you

Buffy: what?

Faith, innocently: what?

if I had a nickel for every time donald sutherland was in a movie that was later adapted into a tv show that was so much better liked it all but made the movie obsolete, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

I am deliberately not adding an 'Other' option! You have to pick form the above.

Be mindful of how the bit in parenthesis, where I've added them, these are NOT things to make your lives easier! :)

After you pick, feel free to say why and then also add a world you would actually want to end up in, if you've got one!

Reblog if you vote, I'm really curious what people would choose!

It is very apparent to me I have a type in both women and men. As well, yes, I still have major crushes on the live action character's thespian. I mean dang I was not expecting such types, but one of my friends did observe I tend to like Jewish, Middle Eastern, French, and Indian women, and men twinks XD (often Untied Kingdom). Dyed hair not picky on gender though, as a good look all around.

[yarboyandy]

do you have any more streamer!jenny +giles for us?

kinda surprised the love this au got 😱😱Yeah I'll draw some stuff I just got off work so I'll begin doing some stuff.

in terms of headcannons I have a few ^_^

Jenny isn't mega popular or anything, I think she'd be a smaller streamer with like 1-2k viewers at a time. She does gaming and random demon shit, tarot card readings or whatever. People really like her purple aesthetic she has going on and her mascot is a black cat. She just gets into drama cuz she just says whatever she wants and ALWAYS responds cuz she's got stuff to say!! Her merch is low key awful LOL she sells t-shirts and a few mugs via tspring or something but gets Oz to draw her up something worth while at some point. She streams at night with no set schedule cuz thats when she has time after work. Willow is one of her mods (Willow thinks its bc she's Jennys favorite student but it's mostly because she doesn't have to pay Willow LOL)

Giles doesn't start showing up until a bit later and not super consistently (he like never even knows whats going on, let alone that more than 5 people are watching. usually busy w/ Buffy anyways) I think Giles would be oddly good at among us. I just think he would be able to win more often than not. Jenny tries to get him to play new games but he sucks so bad it's not even real. He tries to do a run of Skyrim one night and manages to get past the tutorial but gets so engrossed reading the in-game books that the entire chat gets so pissed off most people leave. They get him to play around of fortnite and it causes the same reaction that the G-fuel gave him. He isn't scared by FNAF because "it happened to me once" (He doesn't elaborate.) He gets confused by the chat begging him to put on a maid dress because he's picturing like the really long old fashion kind and is like "? you people are very strange"

Ethan makes periodic appearances to superchat and will either send a dollar and be like "KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!" Or "please tell him to text me back." and he doesn't get banned because it's funny that some 29 year old has major beef with some 45 year old gay guy.

[hersterical]

Buffy’s, Angel’s, Spike’s and Faith’s realizing of and coming to terms with their bisexuality can be split into two categories: “eh, that makes sense” and “W H A T”

“eh, that makes sense”

-Spike: Even before becoming a vampire he considered himself an “appreciator of beauty in all its forms”. After becoming a vampire he and Angelus had a bit of a “that’s just how bros are with each other” kind of relationship even though that is definitely not how bros are with each other. This goes on for about ten years (a pretty short amount of time by vampire standards) before someone finally explains to him that no, not everyone is like this. Spike immediately accepts this seeing as he’s not like most people in every other way so why not when it comes to relationships? He doesn’t even consider thinking about labels until he’s trying to explain it to the Scoobys or the Fang Gang or someone and somebody else provides him with the label. He figures that it fits well enough and the term seems to help other people be less confused around the subject so he just goes along with it. Spike finds ways to “casually” drop his newfound label into conversation whenever he can until a little after everyone becomes sick of it. He’s always a little disappointed in people’s lack of reactions. The one person who he didn’t expect a reaction from, Angel, had the biggest reaction. Like, Angel, did you just forget about 75 years of our friendship? How could you possibly be surprised by this?

-Faith: She’s always known but never had a word for it. Faith’s always had celebrity crushes on women just the same as men and day dreamed about girls just the same as about boys. Around the third or fourth time she kisses a girl she begins referring to herself as “half-gay” in her head. Out loud she says things like “I’m not gay but…” then proceeds to say one of the gayest things to ever be said. Other than that…we’ve all seen how she is with Buffy. You get it. At first she does purposefully keep it a secret due to her crippling fear of rejection. It’s only when she’s in prison she finally learns the term “bisexual” and subconsciously accepts that label into her view of herself. After season 7 of Buffy she’s no longer keeping her sexuality a secret but also doesn’t go out of her way to tell people and just assumes that people would immediately be able to spot the differences in her behavior. She grossly underestimates her absolute lack of subtly when she was younger. Every once in a while somebody is shocked to discover that Faith is bi and Faith is shocked to discover that they didn’t already know. Somehow Xander was the first one to find out. This phenomenon only holds true to those who knew her from before she was arrested, everyone else just kind of knows. The only person she ever sits down and has a conversation about her sexuality with is Angel. And eventually Buffy once Buffy begins going through her crisis. That conversation is somehow even more awkward than the one she had with Angel.

“W H A T”

Angel: He never suspected a thing before he was a vampire. After he was turned, Angelus immediately accepted and was willing to act on these newfound desires. Once he got his soul back Angel figured his attraction to men probably came from his lack of soul. Probably. Something about that never seemed to quite fit though. He tossed this into his rapidly growing pile of existential crisis’ and only ever thought about it when he needed a break from his all-consuming guilt. But then if Angel ever spent more than five minutes thinking about it he would become confused and go back to the simpler matter of punishing himself. It’s only when he begins to rejoin society and do a bunch of research on prophecies, demons, and so on in order to help Buffy that he learns that the lack of soul makes one more likely to act on homosexual desires, but the sexuality and the body is a package deal, with or without the soul. This gives him a lot to think about…for another time because Buffy! Then Angel Investigations, Cordy, his son, the end of the world, etc. (he totally isn’t avoiding the issue, shut up) At some point Spike says or does something that Angel finds incredibly attractive, causing Angel to groan loudly and exclaim “Really!? Him!?” He quickly has to explain himself to Spike who laughs and is incredulous that Angel didn’t already know given their history. Angel never tells anyone unless it comes up naturally in conversation, usually including a lot of mumbling and shuffling of feet. Faith teases him ruthlessly and they eventually develop several inside jokes based on their shared sexuality and differing ways of handling it. Angel doesn’t come out to Buffy until Buffy comes out to him. This is an even more awkward conversation than the one between Buffy and Faith. Lorne always knew Angel was bi but knew he wasn’t ready to realize it/wanted to see how long it would take this over 200 year old idiot to figure it out.

Buffy: Oh Buffy. She always knew girls were pretty. Everyone thinks about kissing them sometimes, right? Wanting to kiss a girl and thinking she’s pretty doesn’t make you gay. Besides, Buffy is definitely attracted to men and their manly masculinity and all that. Women are just nice to look at sometimes. This goes on until well after season 7 when she and Willow are having a movie night. Buffy says something about how soft the lead actress’s lips look and Willow says “Yeah, I know right? Hey wait a second, I do know.” This leads to a very long and eye opening conversation. Buffy finally asserts that she’s not gay because she likes guys. Willow responds “Hello, does bisexuality ring any bells? Maybe the names Faith and Spike?” No it doesn’t ring any bells and what do Faith and Spike have to do with anything? It turns out that Buffy really didn’t know it was possible to like more than just one gender, hadn’t spoken to Spike since he discovered his new favorite word, and hadn’t thought anything of the occasional woman that Faith brings back home or her aggressive flirting. “I just figured they were friends and the flirting was just Faith being Faith. Plus you know how weird the whole situation with me, Spike, and Angel is.” Buffy isn’t sold on the idea that she isn’t straight so she spends months thinking about it very deeply while staring at women to figure out if she’s attracted to them or not. Faith finally snaps one day after twenty minutes of Buffy making unbroken eye contact with the side of her face and demands to know what’s going on. Buffy doesn’t explain anything and instead asks her weirdly specific and personal questions about Faith’s love life. Faith leaves that conversation even more confused than entering it. Buffy finally comes to Willow and says that this uncertainty is killing her, so Willow does what any best friend would do and takes Buffy to a gay bar. While there Buffy has a brief make out session with a woman before making a quick exit to take time to accept that she is bi. For the next few weeks Buffy is even more trapped in her head than in the time leading up to this realization before asking Willow to help her gather all the members of the inner circle. She has an announcement to make. Everyone takes it as well as can be expected. Giles says something about loving and supporting her, Dawn says something littler-sisterly, and Xander is a little weird but much more mature than she expected. Other than welcoming her to “the club” Faith is uncharacteristically quiet. The next time they team up with the Fang Gang, Buffy finds a moment to have a private word with Angel where they come out to each other. Now Faith, Buffy, Spike, and the rest of Angel Investigations know about Angel and that’s really everyone Angel wants to know and is neutral to everyone else knowing. Later, Spike drops the fact that he’s bi into the conversation and Buffy responds with “same”. They share an understanding smile and that’s that. From then on Buffy gets a nervous, but happy smile whenever she gets to come out to someone new.

More Stoned Obey Me Headcannons

One of Satan’s favorite fiction books from the human world is Piranesi by Susanna Clark

Obviously he is also a huge fan of Lord of the Rings

Mammon has a belly button piercing

All of the brothers find body piercings hot no doubt about it

Mammon makes you carry his bags if you guys go shopping until you complain about it and he berates you for not telling him earlier

Nobody understands them like I do

They ALL enjoy watching the live action Scooby Doo’s with who woman who plays Buffy even if they say they dont.

Mammon loves Madagascar <3 he likes to move it move it

Solomon w i l l wear matching earrings with you. No matter how silly they are. Babies with knives earrings for sure.

Mammon says he can relate to Fred from Scooby Doo

Leviathan secretly wishes he could turn into the Hulk

Mammon is surprisingly good at doing other peoples hair.

Belphagor would play dnd for sure. And Levi too but that kinda goes without saying methonks

Beelzebub and Belphagor wear a fuck ton of rings.

Asmodeus cries during sex

This is weird but I feel like Asmodeus smells like cheesecake. Genuinely dont know why.

Asmodeus listens to Melanie Martinez for sure. The new album is his favorite no doubt.

If you show literally any music to Mammon itll be all he listens to

Diavolo loves watching sunsets

Barbatos is probably better at doing makeup than Asmo

Simeon is an Axolotl lover

Luke is one of those bitches who say they dont listen to music. D o n o t t r u s t

If you showed Luke Gravity Falls he would love it

This post is too long goodbye

[spangelmybeloved]

Hi a friend just got me into Spangel and I was wondering if you had some good A03 fic recs. I’m not really a fan of the Scooby Gang butting in and would prefer something with substance too and not just sexy times lol.

Hello!

I actually did a rec list not long ago for Spangel (which you can see here) but not everything on there sounds like what you're looking for, so I'll make a new one. That being said, there will probably be a couple repeats on this list. (I'm just assuming that you're a different anon than the last one, lol. *shrugs*) I can't promise no sexy times, but I'll try to give you recs that lean towards the plotty side (gonna be honest with you here, it's hard to find plotty Spangel sometimes, especially in shorter fics-- I often don't have the mental energy or the time to read the really long fics)

Drowning by felisblanco Rated E. Do mind the warnings on this one! "AtS S1. Angel goes to Sunnydale and picks up a toxic package."

more than one way... by thatotherperv . Rated G. "Spike and Angel are forced into therapy when their constant bickering puts the whole office on edge."

Lamp Light by Ashmaenas . Rated M "It had been almost a year since they last saw each other. Almost a year of missing Spike so badly that the ache in his chest felt permanent. A night-time conversation illuminated by the glowing light of the lamps changed everything."

Constrained by Gabriel_Is_My_Guardian_Angel89 Rated T "Angel can't always be himself within the confines of W&H."

Five Times Angelus Got Down on His Knees by girlpire. Rated T. Not strictly Spangel, it's really Fanged Four polycule, but it's very good. "Five short scenes from relationships Angel had while soulless, during which he spends time on his knees. But not like that."

And while this one isn't on AO3, it's very much worth the read: To Take You In by anonymous. Rated NC-17. "My take on a familiar theme: Spike goes to Angel instead of Buffy after "The Initiative.""

And if I might be so brave as to rec my own AO3: I'm MadeInGold and my sideblog is @reallyreal-madeingold

BUFFY SEASON 6!!! (Triggwr warning for S/A and Mental Health Issues)

Imma just use this app to vent cause no ones gonna see it. I first watched that season and felt crazy attached to it when I was 10. (okay maybe an 10 year old shouldn't have been watching some of the scenes but where's the fun in being a sheltered child I legit watched it w my mum) Back then watching it I resonated with it but I didn't know how I resonated with it I just yeh it become like a comfort season.

Flash forward to the current day, and I'm older and struggling sm silently with my mental health, and I randomly watched it again today after seeing an ad for the new Slayers project. HOLY SH*T !!! That's why it resonated. Here's a season of a show where mental health is the main antagonist. Every character that u love and aspire to be like is showing how they aren't these perfect happy go lucky versions of theirselves. Now, don't get me wrong, Buffy has never shyed away from showing it in early seasons, and it was never like any character was never portrayed as one dimensional. However, this one season emphasises it SO MUCH MORE! Like when it shows Willow's magic addiction and how she eventually goes dark after Tara gets shot, Xander leaving Anya at the alter and her becoming a demon again, Buffy being ripped out of *possibly heaven* by her friends and coming back wrong and her dealing w that and being disgusted w herself for using Spike as a coping mechanism, Spike ultimately S/A Buffy and running away to go get his soul back from the demon trials after he realises what he's done, Willow dealing w Tara's death and like in the episode where it's Buffy's birthday and the main group are locked in the house by one of Anya's old friend from when she was still a demon, the way it shows how Dawn is dealing being in the background of everyone who is supposed to be the adults taking care of her not even giving her a second thought sometimes. Those are the main plots but I know there are a few more. ALL OF THESE ARE JUST PERFECT EXAMPLES OF EVERYONE STRUGGLING AND NOT JUST BEING HAPPY AND CLICKING LIKE THEY USED TO BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN! Now I know why I resonated with this series so much and still do... because IT'S REAL LIFE! Everyone is having problems and sometimes they just can't address them to those closest and sometimes they can but it's still just as hard dealing w them. Yes the plots in the show are a bit of a far fetched example but regardless it really shows people struggle and sometimes everyone around u loves you deeply but they can't always be the solution.

To put what I'm really meaning into perspective in the earlier seasons like say season 1 or something after the fight with the 'Big Bad' or just a general demon they main trio and Giles always had each others back. If there was a problem they solved it together and they were in high-school and although they weren't care free their lives in comparison to season 6 weren't the same. Now this is because yes they matured but they also got worn down by the constant struggle of it all. It must've been hard being a young adult and having to worry abt the apocalypse and getting your essay in on time. However, I think it would've been interesting to put who they were in season 1 in the place of the events of season 6 because personally when I think of it that way I think they would've been more open with each other and it probably would've altered the course of the entire season. That's where it comes down to after all the constant fighting they realised they themselves were fighting internal battles due to it all.

To anyone who did read this which I know will be barely any thank you I know it's long. ❤️
