The moment in “normal again” where Buffy collapses due to her hallucinations while she’s out patrolling after being poisoned by the demon that makes her think she’s in the mental ward and Spike yells after the scoobies to “ice her neck because she likes that” and the likelihood of him knowing that because he’s helped her with panic attacks and icing your neck/vagus nerve is a great way to combat that is literally devastating.

It’s one of the few things that indicates the true depth of their relationship outside of sex during season 6. Another is when Spike knows about the body swap but just didn’t know it was faith in season 7. Spike and Buffy had to have gotten DEEP into trauma land for Buffy to talk about that with him because we know how betrayed, violated, and insecure that made her feel and anything involving Faith is almost as sensitive a topic as angel for her which shows a deep level of vulnerability which Buffy famously has struggled with.

Spike and Buffy being in love is confirmed and canon, re: “why does everyone in this house think I’m still in love with Spike?” confirming even in its most toxic phase Buffy loved Spike even then in season 6 and possibly as early as late season 5. Plus everything in season 7 and beyond is just a giant love declaration between them. But the reason it’s not overt and obvious all the time and we have to pick up on these little bread crumbs and infer a lot from just one line is because our girl Jane had to sneak stuff in that the misogynistic men, who didn’t like spike, and wanted to punish all the women who loved him and Buffy. Wouldn’t pick up on what she was doing but she knew the spuffys would get it 😹 😹😹

soft and smiley and happy spike is so important to me, you wouldn’t believe it tbh… we didn’t get enough of it because (tw) j0ss wh3d0n had to make all of his characters feel absolutely miserable 24/7.

was thinking about if spike was cursed like angel to lose his soul if he had a moment of pure happiness and would he be able to have an enduring romantic relationship with buffy in the absence of sex, would it be enough for either of them yadda yadda and then i realized what am i even thinking?? sex??? spike would lose his soul bc buffy preset the microwave to nuke blood for just the right amount of time, spike would lose his soul bc buffy passed him the cereal box, spike would lose his soul bc of the way buffy’s butt looks in those pants, spike would lose his soul bc buffy laughed at one of his jokes, spike would lose his soul bc a light breeze blew a strand of her hair into his face, spike would lose his soul bc buffy-

I’m my best around you. All of you… but especially you.

I like who I am when I’m with him. I like who we are together.

thinking about when Buffy comes back in s6 and something's not quite right with her and that look on Spike's face when he says "clawed her way out of her coffin that's how. done it myself" like. he is seeing her. she's herself but different, a little more like him. THEN when Spike comes back in s7 and something's obviously not right with him, and Buffy's face in the church when she realizes he got his soul back and he did it on purpose. to be more like her.

I believe in you, Spike. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 5.07 “Fool For Love” | 7.09 “Never Leave Me" / 7.11 "Showtime"

I was rewatching my Buffy DVDs and found the JW commentary. Even though his views on women/feminism tainted this show, he does explain his directing decisions.

If you don't believe the Spuffy fans, at least believe the writers and actors who created their story!

It's the "wait...Bangel was a big deal?" for me.

JW actually admits that Angel reappearing in the last episode and the Bangel kiss was, in fact, "fan service."

Emphasis on the VOCAL MINORITY that leads to the fan service. Something iconic enough (The Bangel kiss) to "give people hope( 😂) that Buffy and Angel might one day work out" - purple

I don't know what was going through that brain of his, but Parker was NOT "the most important relationship of her life." Like sir, where did that come from? - green

The chemistry between both David/Sarah and James/Sarah is insane. However, I like how both relationships have their own distinct chemistry. - yellow

Spike is more on Buffy's level. he understands her, both physically and emotionally, something Angel struggles with. - orange

The relationship is more nuanced, we witnessed the development, and we watched it build from the ground up. We can point out pivotal moments in the relationship. Spike has more dynamic, he's not just "the tall, dark and handsome vampire" that seduces Buffy.

Buffy tells Spike things she wouldn't tell anybody else.

"These two" (Sarah/Buffy & James/Spike), yes, I agree 🤗- blue

Angel is described as an object of desire. Buffy falls in love because of his looks. If Angel wasn't attractive, would she have fallen for him? It's his body that "becomes the object of her gaze."

He really has his looks to offer. "He's tall, dark, and handsome" so he must be a love interest. "Otherwise what else would his purpose be?"

The analysis states that Angel functions as Buffy's "homme fatal," (An ultimately seductive and dangerous man; a womanizer) which gives a nod to Liam's character, his human self.

Joss explains the comparisons between souled and soulless Spike and his behavior/change. Soulless Spike didn't recognize boundaries.

JW still highlights that Spike needs development before he and Buffy become "lovers" again.

The writer of the character and the story states that this man can be redeemed.
