Angelus is so great, like he was forced to make out with Buffy and it was so emotionally life changing he decided he wanted to off himself and take the world with him.

Like we know he enjoys carnal pleasures, he has kissed and fucked (Darla, Dru, Spike) but having to live with the memory of loving/kissing Buffy while taking a backseat to a Ghost makes him suicidal 😭😭😭 talk about not being able to deal. He’s such a drama queen omg. I’m 100% convinced he was going to change Buffy, like make her his Dru 2.0 but he chickened out because he knew unlike Dru and Darla he would have been vampire!Buffy’s BITCH.

#angelus loved buffy let’s be real #mfer just didn’t know how to handle it since love is like catching cooties to a monster like him #but he would be so WHIPPED for a vampire Buffy #he would call her daddy I just know it #children? puppies? the heart of the pope? yeah he would have went out and got it for her because what vampire!Buffy wants she GETS #and ain’t no way he was gonna allow himself to be pussy whipped? so what da ya do? guess it’s time to die #bangelus #btvs #bangel

The whole Angel turn into Angelus seems like a coming of age metaphor. Buffy gets intimate with her boyfriend Angel and he turns into an asshole, demonic creature.

Do you think this was intentional in the show’s part where a lot of their storylines is rooted in metaphor? How do you think the whole Angelus situation reflects onto Buffy and Angel’s relationship?

I always felt like Angelus still loved Buffy or at least the closest thing Angelus could approach to ever loving someone, being obsessed with them.

Even Willow commented commented about it, about how Angelus shares a thing with angel, how Buffy was all he ever though about.

The Angelus situation adds a very interesting dynamic and a new perspective to the Angel/Buffy dynamic and I wish people talked more about it.

It seems like many Bangel fans separate Angelus from Angel and Buffy relationship, and they are right to a degree Angel isn’t Angelus but it adds a incredible complex and interesting element to their relationship. I wish people talked more about it.

With Bangel it was so obvious how much Buffy and Angel loved each other, you can feel the pain and vulnerabilities of Buffy through the whole situation, you can see and feel how much Buffy cared and loved Angel and vice-Verza.

Buffy was in pain, but it was because of how much he loved Angel.

Maybe this is just me but I never felt the same wirh Spuffy, I always preferred them as belligerent friends than as a couple.

When they got to they whet Buffy was also in pain, but everything happened because she had no one to turn to, because of desperation and you can see how one-sided Spike and Buffy relationship truly was. Buffy looks disgusted and desolated every time she is with Spike. Is so incredible one-sided even the last “I love you” was out of pity.

I’ve seen how many fans tend to justify Spike’s actions and lay the blame in Buffy.

With Bangel I don’t see that happening too often even though it could be extremely easy to do so (Angel lost his soul after experiencing a true moment of happiness) but I wish people didn’t leave out Angelus out of the equation, because is part of the Angel and Buffy lobe story.

What do you think of it? What do you think Angel turning into Angelus represents as a metaphor? Do you think that when people talk about Bangel they should consider Angelus as part of the dynamic? Why or why not?

Hi! It was definitely intentional. Joss Whedon, the show creator, has spoken about this many times over the years. The first three seasons is "high school is hell" but literally. The Angelus storyline is the best representation of that, while also being the peak of the entire show, in my opinion.

Buffy having sex with her boyfriend and him losing his soul is meant to represent girls sleeping with their boyfriends or "finally giving it up" and then the guy just ghosts them or starts treating them like shit. Like, oh, they finally got what they wanted from them so now they can say and do as they please.

Joyce even says to Buffy in 2.17, "Don't tell me. He's changed. He's not the same guy you fell for." And she responds, "In a nutshell." Not that it needed to be spelled out because the metaphor is very obvious, but that's them spelling it out to the audience.

I think the Angelus storyline is incredibly powerful. It's a reflection of the depth of Angel's feelings for Buffy, and it adds so much to their love story. I think Angelus did love Buffy in his own sick, twisted way. Him being soulless just transformed the purity of Angel's love for Buffy into an obsession. Angelus hates the human parts of himself, and Buffy represents Angel's humanity, so him trying to destroy Buffy was also, like, self-flagellation in some ways? Which is just extremely tragic and heartbreaking but endlessly fascinating. Angelus literally wants to destroy the world to escape his feelings for Buffy. Even without his soul, he feels the depth and power of his love for her, and you really see this in 2.19, which is a sorely underrated episode.

I do understand why Bangel shippers separate Angelus from the Bangel relationship, because they weren't together at that time and obviously we shouldn't be romanticizing stalking, obsession, murder and psychological torment. It's a bit more nuanced than that, though. The storyline reveals so much about Angel and his love for Buffy while also putting a pause on their romance because he is changed. It's masterfully done, the way the story continues to develop the tragedy and profundity of their love while simultaneously mourning the loss of it.

The Spuffy dynamic is completely different, I don't really see the comparisons. The writing is thin, less compelling, and kind of makes me miserable? But not in a good way? Like, there's good television that breaks your heart but it's just so good that you love to hurt. With Spuffy, I just felt depressed and uncomfortable. Anyone who victimizes Spike and vilifies Buffy doesn't really seem to understand what the storyline is trying to tell us. So, it's honestly not worth having a discussion with them about it.

But to answer your final question, Angelus should always be involved in any discussion concerning Angel as a character as well as his relationship with Buffy.

You sent this ask like three months ago, I'm sorry it took me so long to answer. It's just very long and I agree with a lot of what you already said.

From the ask game!

4. what is your favourite line you wrote this year?

(no pressure :))

This year? Oh wow, that's a whole lot to choose from!

Ok, this one is definitely a contender (really more like 2 lines, but close enough):

"Screw you!" Buffy snarls at him.

Angelus laughs. "That's what got you into this mess, isn't it?"

From my BtVS Bangel(us) fic, Insatiable . It's funnier in context, I feel like.

I had a dream that Angelus decided to keep Buffy around, because he knew that if he ever was ensouled again she was the key to release him, of course.

#buffy the vampire slayer #angelus #buffy summers #bangelus #shanna dreams #honestly that would be the smart thing to do. asdfghjkl. #angelus is kind of an idiot #i mean. to be fair. in s2 he didn't think there was a chance he'd be ensouled again #and after that he's seemingly admitted his love for her to himself (like we see by angel & faith s10) so he wasn't thinking of killing her #but when it's implied in s3 that angelus maybe killed buffy in angel and buffy's sex dream and the first is banking on him killing her if h #came bacK: if he did that then in such a situation he was a moron tbh #and yeah: i think the s3 thing is implied because he was mad she sent him to hell. if it was angelus who maybe killed buffy in that dream #still a dumb choice for the aforementioned reasons though

I had this thought during work and I had to stop and stare for a second as I let it wash over me.

Anyway, Angelus should have left a human heart on Buffy's pillow for Valentine's Day.

I was told to ask you about recs for Bangelus fictions. And also I say hi and that your page is great!

Hi, Anon! Welcome!

I managed to dig up my old Bangelus recs, which you'll find below. In addition to those, I would recommend: Hurricane Season by girlpire

and also looking for Bangelus works by calenlily and AmorousGreen

Ah, Bangelus. So wrong. So hot. So right? ;)

Given that it’s Angelus, this is dark stuff, so please remember to check ratings and warnings before reading!

The all-time classic of Bangelus stories is Leni’s Courting Sin. Set in BtVS Season 2, beginning post-Passion. Rated R. (And in looking up this link, I’ve just discovered there’s a lot more of this than I realized! I’ve only read the first chapter through the IWRY Marathon. Yay, more reading for me!)

Another personal favorite is Maren’s Elysian Dream. This is ridiculously, scorchingly hot. Set in an altered version of the AtS Season 4 episode Orpheus. Rated NC-17.

Not for the faint of heart is D.L. LePage’s Salvaging the Emptiness. Set in BtVS S7/AtS S4. This one is quite…operatic. But hot. (And NOT Scooby-friendly, just FYI!) Rated NC-17.

Another worth checking out is Chrislee’s Sacrifice, set in AtS Season 3. It’s a compelling mix of Angel and Angelus fighting for control. Rated Explicit.

I also like Mia’s The Space In Between, in which Buffy tortures Angelus with love! (Well, it sounds kind of silly when I put it like that, but it’s actually Very Sexy.) Unrated, but smutty.

There was a great Bangelus story posted last year that sadly seems to have been deleted. If anyone has a link that still works for KC Blossom’s The Closest Thing to Crazy, I’d love to have it.

I don’t think I would call this Bangelus, but one of the best recent fics to tackle the Buffy/Angelus dynamic is @mrsgordo84’s First Love. This is The First playing Angelus (and Angel), but it’s got an incredibly good take on all of the characters involved. Rated Teen & Up.

Finally, and it’s probably tacky to mention my own stuff, but I just posted a Bangelus fic called to kill this girl, you have to love her. I think it’s kinda hot? Rated Explicit.

Buffy: I hate you.

Angelus: I like your determination.

Buffy: I'm going to kill you

Angelus: the Slayer is so bad, everyone run.

Buffy: Are you going to fight or just make fun?

Angelus: I can do two things at once
