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

#buffy the vampire slayer #spike btvs #doodles #wish that spike would write more poetry i think that could be fun #like don't tell me this guy at least didn't write edgy music as a vampire i mean he modelled himself after billy idol........ #also love that spike always manages to find himself in polycules by accident with Angel (Drusilla&Angelus and Buffy&Angel) #i've been putting off watching the last episode because then all I'll have to see spike again is the Angel show #time to return to not posting art until I finish another early 2000s TV show and draw niche character art #him filling is grocery bag with cigarette cartons

You beat up Willy? Sure! Well, actually, let's just say I applied some pressure. Or more accurately, that I asked politely, and then, uh... - BTVS | 3x17 "Enemies"

it’s insane to me how little sympathy nancy gets wrt to s2. like she was dealing with the guilt of feeling like barb’s death was her fault and being 17; struggled to relay how much it was killing her to steve who, when she did try to express these feelings, told her to keep her head down and pretend. so she gets drunk and lashes out, blows up the relationship, and gets involved with someone who she feels like does understand her. yes it was messy and she did break steve’s heart but like? so what. i don’t want to watch a female character whose main concern is whether or not she’s hurting some dude’s feelings

#stranger things #like i love steve but i love nancy too #and this is a pattern of behavior I have seen in. literally. every. single. fandom. it’s annoying #not even bothering touch the was she lying when she said she loved him discourse because if buffy taught me anything it's #you should wait until the last episode of the last season before making any claims about who is feeling what for who #controversial stancy posting

[andthesunwillalwaysshine]

the i believe in you spike speech i am not crying you are but also the you are a better man you may not see it but i do... i do (the voice as she repeated i do my heart can't do this) i love s7 spuffy

#god fucking help me if i ever thought i could stop shipping them #i hate that i spoiled myself but also i blame the writers for that awful episode like how could i look at him ever again unless i knew #but i still feel all the fucking feels #i cannot believe that i am watching the last ever season #it's so unfair #what type of tragic fucking ending </3 #i love this show and i hate this show #but like yeah tvd got nothing on this and that was MY show #def gonna do a rewatch of tvd eventually though and with rewatch i mean s1-s6 #the 2 last seasons is where they failed me and how buffy managed to win #mine #buffy

Buffy the Last Vampire Slayer Special: Buffy making fun of Spike’s pants -> Buffy wearing what I’m like 95% sure are Spike’s pants

#last reblog reminded me I've been meaning to post this!! #This comic was amazing and the spuffy in it was amazing and I LOVE Thess I ADORE her #give me more hours and hours of content where spuffy are just casually in love in the bg I will devour it all #buffy comics #spuffy

[greensaplinggrace]

people in the btvs fandom will act like angel was buffy's one eternal true best love and nothing else compares like ok can we stop with the heteronormative allonormative completely jilted monogomous take on love for like two seconds... different forms of love exist at different strengths and none of those loves are the lesser for it. calm down

#btvs #spuffy #bangel #buffy summers #im of the opinion that spuffy is a more organic and lasting partnership but that doesn't mean i think she loved angel any less?! #like can we stop acting as if different relationships dont serve different functions in people's lives #and if you say buffy 'will never move on' or 'love anyone else as much' can you perhaps consider how damaging that view on love is #fandomcourse #btvs discourse #ish

my favorite married couple

#i love them so much 😭 #spuffy #btlvs #buffy the last vampire slayer #buffy comics #buffy #spike #btvs

[reuptakeinhibitor]

i love stobin working retail jobs and sharing a resume so much but consider this. steve follows robin to bloomington, indianapolis, west lafayette, wherever she decides to go and they get a little apartment. maybe they decide to go out of state but i think they stay in the midwest. then st takes a page from buffy and steve works construction while robin goes to school.

#i think this would play nicely into him believing he's not smart #and robin's like “what? you built my desk all by yourself. i don't know anyone else who'd be able to do that.” #“and you fixed mrs. robinson's fence just last week! that little dog of hers was always getting out and digging holes in her rose garden.” #and she reassures him that all those things require skill and important and HE'S important #and he believes her a little more every time he hears her say it :) #the day she learns about gardner's theory of multiple intelligences she can barely contain herself #she's so excited to tell steve she doesn't even get the car door closed before she's blurting it out #like “GUESS WHAT 😳” #and maybe he gets a little misty but he saves the tears for later when he can really think about how much he's loved and how they're both o #and living the life they both want because they built it together!!!! #anyway . . . #i swear this was just supposed to be a post about steve being hot #but that kinda got away from me #i could go on and on about them #steve harrington #robin buckley #stobin #god help me i'm scared to have my post In The Tags but i must maintain tag consistency for my blog #also i remember very little about buffy #this is a stranger things post #*and ARE important #*they're both OK #i haaaate typos in tags but i'm not writing all that again

I know this has been talked about a lot but just been thinking about how Something Blue is like a fanfic writer going “haha what if I shipped this wouldn’t it be wild jk” and then it spiralling wildly out of control. It is a crack ship eventually treated seriously and I find that hilarious. 

And also just, how does the Will Be Done spell even work. The parameters. I’ve been thinking about it, and Willow only said “why doesn’t she just go marry him” (or something to that effect) not “why don’t they fall hopelessly in love with each other and get married.” They could’ve easily had it where they both maintained their enemy dynamic and been very confused and angry the entire way to getting a marriage certificate, and I think it’s that the concept of marriage and the action of it have to align with the person’s internal logic in some way. Buffy does not believe she will get married, she is the Slayer, she can fantasize but she will most likely die young. So marriage in her head is a Big Fantasy Thing that should only be done if you are Truly In Love and it must require all the wedding planning and the beautiful white dress and all the bells and whistles because the improbability of it happening just fuels the abstract fantasy. She comes across as So Happy and it’s the happiest she’s ever been because on some level she cannot imagine herself being that happy and she cannot imagine a wedding without being that happy, so it’s designated into this little Buffy Fantasy Box Scenario. 

And Spike has loved Dru for a hundred years and never needed a wedding or marriage because that is a Human Concept that he probably also fantasized about as a human but hasn’t really thought of since (and has probably had to abandon). Their love doesn’t need a silly paper, they are having a wedding everyday, they celebrate their love everyday, it’s about the constant displays of devotion. So in this made up marriage scenario, Spike can only imagine himself as initiating a proposal if he is In Love and Devoted (and probably secretly wishes he and Dru did have some kind of wedding but would never admit that. Thinking about Angelus telling him: “you can take what you want, have what you want, but nothing is yours. Not even her [dru].”)

Basically, Spike and Buffy as they are would only consider marriage if they are truly in love with someone and they both have a little tentatively abstract Wedding Fantasy that lives rent free in their brains that they would never admit exists there in the first place. And it’s why both of them act like a CoupleTM and do all the Wedding Planning ThingsTM because that’s what a wedding should be, right? 

They shouldn’t be a Thing [couple/in love] and yet they are meeting each other halfway in indulging this Thing [wedding/marriage/”normal” life] that can never be.  

#I know Spike's repressed feelings and denial have been talked about #but i'm just thinking about the pure crackhead energy this ship started on #it's about the impossible #the improbable #meeting each other halfway in the shared fantasy we would never tell anyone about #it's not so much the wedding itself #but more the celebration of something that you are promising to someone else will last forever #spike had a love he said was eternal #and yet he also tells buffy he's never been 'close' #buffy was given an expiration date that keeps updating in increments #and she still dreams #she beats up a troll with his own hammer while yelling xander and anya's love will last forever #basically they are both just teenage girls cutting up magazines together #and that's valid #spuffy #something blue #buffy summers #spike btvs #btvs #btw I don't think anyone needs a wedding to say they love each other I'm purely basing this off of what it might mean for the characters #btvs s4

Tobey and Becky from WordGirl have the same dynamic vibes as Spike and Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Discuss

I’m thinking about the Kennedy discourse, and I think along with the racism toward her, she’s harmed in the narrative by the fact that no one dates casually?

Buffy has Epic Loves (and Riley).

Xander has Tragic Loves.

Willow has Enduring Loves.

Giles has One Love.

And none of them ever just… date someone without that person being obviously meant for Long Term Romance. Even when it’s a Riley relationship, it ends with a run to a helicopter. No one dates just to see where it goes. No one dates casually. No one even breaks up amicably. Buffy and Angel come the closest. Buffy and Angel come the closest to an amicable break up, and that happened in a sewer before senior prom. (Unless you count Willow and Oz in New Moon Rising, but their break up really happens in Wild at Heart).

So here’s this girl who calls *herself* a brat, and she’s coming in on the heels of Tara. And instead of being able to say, “okay, where is this going?”, the audience immediately recoils because she isn’t good enough to be one of Willow’s Great Loves. When one, why not and two, who said she had to be?

These people (aside from Giles) are in their early 20s. You know how many people I know who are still with the person they were dating in their early 20s? It’s me and my husband, and 2 other couples. I’m not saying it’s impossible for Kennedy and Willow to make it, but I am saying that it’s cool if Willow (or Kennedy) wants to have a fun sex filled relationship without the pressure of forever attached to it.

Kennedy saw a cute girl and went for it. And Willow can mourn Tara and still get some (and still love Tara while loving someone else - what she said about Oz applies here too). She may always be longing a bit for a life where Tara didn’t die - but if Kennedy is good with dating someone who is essentially a widow, we should be good with Willow dating while a widow.

#buffy the vampire slayer #willow rosenberg #Kennedy #poor girl doesn’t even get a last name #I’m all for the scoobs dating casually #and also being single for a bit #but really let willow have a girlfriend #let Willow date someone who isn’t destined to be an Epic Love #and maybe one day it will be a great love #but in season 7 it’s 2 people who like each other and the world is ending so

One of the worst things about season 7 is Buffy saying she'd kill Dawn if she had to make that choice now.

#yeah okay killing dawn to save the world is technically the moral decision #but buffy saying fuck the consequences i'm protecting my sister was such a beautiful character moment #and it makes me incredibly sad to see her flip on this #one of the reasons why i feel s5 made for a better ending #the last two seasons sapped buffy of so much of what made her buffy #that's not to say it's bad writing - i understand and am okay with most of the choices for buffy's character #it's just really depressing to watch #the second worst thing is the i love angel more than anything else in the world and i killed him speech #because dawn #btvs #btvs s7
