#btvs is rotting my brain

[sorrydetka]

BTW “no, look at me, i love you. you’re all i bloody think about. dream about. you’re in my gut, in my throat. i’m drowning in you, summers. i’m drowning in you.” “i know you’ll never love me. i know i’m a monster but you treat me like a man.” “but i want you to know i did save you. not when it counted, of course, but after that. every night after that. i’d see it all again. [..] every night I save you.” “you know you got a willing slave […] i follow you like a man possessed.” “i wanted to give you what you deserve, and i got it. they put the spark in me and now all it does is burn.” “why does a man do what he mustn't? for her. to be hers. to be the kind of man who would never... to be a kind of man. and she shall look on him with forgiveness, and everybody will forgive and love. he will be loved. so everything’s ok, right? can we rest now? buffy, can we rest?” “i’ve done things with you i can’t spell, but i’ve never been that close.. to anyone, least of all you. until last night. all i did last night was hold you and watch you sleep. it was the best night of my life." “i’m not asking you for anything: when i say i love you, it's not because i want you, or because i can't have you. it has nothing to do with me. i love what you are. what you do. how you try. i’ve seen your kindness, and your strength. i’ve seen the best and the worst of you, and i understand, with perfect clarity, exactly what you are.” IF YOURE EVEN LISTENING. IF YOU EVEN CARE.

Losing this thought as I type it but like, Spike is a fixer-upper in the "this old house" kind of way rather than a plastic surgery "fixing God's mistakes" kind of way. (?)

Like he wasn't all wrong from the start but boy was he made to feel that way. So he let himself be renovated. By Dru, by Angel, by the society he escaped from. All that paint over his woodwork.

And I don't think Buffy ment to do a restoration of Spike. I think it was more she saw a corner of the ugly paint job peeling and just couldn't resist picking at it like a scab. And before you know it we have a "honey? Did you know there's wood floor under all this?"

For the tv series ask meme: Btvs and Ats

ANON YOU HAVE MY HEART FOR SENDING THIS IN 💜💜💜💜💜

Under a cut bc it's a bit long.

Buffy first!

Favorite character: Faith Lehane. I'm pretty sure I loved her from the moment we were introduced to her, but over the years she's become my favorite character of all time.

Funniest character: I have to say Xander. Now that I'm past hating him for no good reason, he's genuinely funny and endearing when he's not being a stupid teenager (with obvious problems).

Best-looking character: I'm not gonna say Faith again (even tho I could) so we'll say Giles. Now that I'm no longer a teen myself, he's *very attractive* to me.

Top 3 ships: Bangel forever 💖, Willow/Tara, and Willow/Oz (helps that I'm very fond of Willow, Tara, and Oz separately, as well)

Least favorite character: this is a little petty, but it's gotta be Glory for me. I just never really cared for her and I don't get why such a big portion of the fandom loves her. 🤷‍♀️

Least favorite ship: Spuffy. I just don't like the way it was handled.

Reason why I watch: it's been over 10 years. I'm here forever at this point. (it's not strictly nostalgia, but)

Why I started watching: I just caught it on TV one night. I had never really heard of it, but I had had a vampire phase in middle school (I was a sophomore at the time) and it sounded neat. My first episode was the season 1 finale, "Prophecy Girl", and I was hooked from then on.

Angel now!

Favorite character: Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, followed *very* closely by Cordelia Chase. They both had such great character growth in the first couple of seasons, it's a shame the writing got in the way. (half-joking)

Funniest character: probably Cordy again. I've laughed out loud at so many of her lines, and she's so blunt about everything, too.

Best-looking character: season 4 Wesley. Like, I'm into him no matter what, but the styling for him in season 4 is *chef's kiss*

Top 3 ships: the only ship I'm really invested in is Fred/Gunn (used to be very into Fred/Wesley, but not anymore). I have a ship tag for Angel/Wes, but honestly that's just me-specific brain rot. :3

Least favorite character: I actually don't think I have one. There isn't anyone coming to mind who I just can't stand. Surprising for me, really.

Least favorite ship: Jasmine!Cordelia/Connor. I think that's how you'd specify this one. I just hate knowing that it happened at all. Gross.

Reason why I watch: Again. It's been 10 years.

Why I started watching: I was watching Buffy and I found out Angel (who I also love) had gotten his own show, so I started watching it when I was somewhere around season 3 or 4 of BTVS. (started with a questionable episode, too lol. "Expecting" from season. The only plus from that is that it got me fully obsessed with Wes and Cordy as characters)

I dunno if Spike is your type.

Ok I’m sorry this is so funny and I conferred with my friend that has patiently listened to me talk nonstop about BtVS for months and have to answer with our messages so:

So thanks for cracking me up!! He’s my favorite character and I hate him because he’s the guy!!

#go ask alice #spike #my brain has been a terrible place lately and it’s just… MANY Spike thoughts giving me brain rot #(and yes objectively he isn’t my type beyond cheekbones but type is purely aesthetic for me!) #btvs

my rewatch of ‘angel’ btvs 1x07:

Xander and Cordelia’s banter is so fun

“Maybe I like you” GODDD THEIR STARES

So you’re telling me Joyce CAN’T hear two footsteps up the stairs?

I’ve watched their first kiss dozens of times but it really is so perfect. It’s chaste and gentle and sweet, quickly turning passionate and it’s such a great first kiss for their blossoming love story

LMAOO Cordelia berating that girl over that dress

“For a hundred years I offered ugly death to everyone I met, and I did it with a song in my heart” I get this line being extremely cheesy and corny but idk I kinda like it

“You had a chance to come home, to rule with me in the Master's court for a thousand years, but you threw that away because of her” S C R E A M

LOL they really had Darla with guns, pretty cool but wild

AND BUFFY’S FACE WHEN SHE REALIZES WHAT ANGEL DID FOR HER

The amount of organic activity happening in these stares. THIS is what potent chemistry looks like

And the way she looks at him pulling back from the kiss!!! As if she’s entranced and looking at him with new eyes my godd

THE CROSS BURN ON HIS CHEST. I feel like this contains so much symbolism: a) it’s Buffy’s love and their love leaving a mark on him b) it symbolizes why they part ways, he isn’t human and there’s a divide between them c) he cannot escape what he is but that doesn’t mean it limits him. The bangel brain rot is severe

i router, you giles

read it on ao3!

“Wifi,” said the dark-haired woman, holding a small tech-looking box out in front of her like it was some sort of birthday present. “Got any?”

In which Giles meets the new computer science teacher, Jenny is unapologetically combative, and Willow does her best to set them both straight. (It doesn't work.)

in the event that jenny calendar does show up in the btvs comic reboot, we are probably going to see her meet giles for the first time. and because i have my own thoughts about how that will play out, i wanted to make sure i wrote a fic about it before there’s any established canon.

doesn’t actually require any knowledge of said 2019 reboot--just that this is giles and jenny’s first meeting, now with modern tech thrown into the mix.

“Wifi,” said the dark-haired woman, holding a small tech-looking box out in front of her like it was some sort of birthday present. “Got any?”

Giles missed the British Museum, where his request for a lock on his door had been processed and accepted. “The library’s closed,” he said, in the annoyed-academic voice that generally got most of the children in this school to leave immediately. “If you could perhaps come back later—”

“Oh, no, this is totally a necessity,” said the woman, breezing past Giles as though the word closed wasn’t in her vocabulary. “See, the principal’s under the impression that this—” she blinked, squinting around in the dim light, “—musty old cave of antiquities is lacking a basic Internet connection, so I figured, hey, why not be a good neighbor—”

“Neighbor?”

“I’m in the classroom across from yours,” said the woman, giving Giles a small, bewildered frown. “I see you all the time. Are you telling me you’ve never noticed me?”

“I’m a bit busy,” said Giles, gesturing around at the books he had been shelving, “and I do not appreciate my work being interrupted.”

“Well, aren’t you just a laugh and a half,” said the woman, looking—amused? Giles was insinuating that he didn’t want her there, and she thought it was funny? “Anyway, you being a stuck-up snob totally isn’t the point right now—”

“I beg your pardon?”

“—my point,” said the woman, verging on impatience, “is that I brought you a wifi router. In this day and age, an actual internet connection is a total necessity.”

“Yes, we wouldn’t want people to unplug themselves from their smartphones and actually read a book, now, would we?” said Giles waspishly. “Forgive me, Ms—whatever your name is, but I’m afraid I cannot condone adding a potential distraction to a place of studying. Please leave.” With a wince, he realized that this wasn’t very decorous of him. “I appreciate the offer,” he tacked on somewhat unconvincingly.

“You so don’t,” said the woman. Her eyes were narrowed. “And for the record, computers aren’t a distraction. They’re a tool. Have you ever used one, or do you just cast aspersions on anyone who does?”

“Oh, absolutely the second one,” said Giles, pulling out his flip phone for emphasis. “I see no need to muddle my mind with poorly sourced information and exorbitant amounts of social media.”

“Oh my god,” said the woman disbelievingly, “have I somehow stepped back into the nineties?”

“There were computers around then,” Giles began smugly.

“The 1890s, Rupert,” said the woman, giving him an extremely attractive grin. Giles very hastily replaced the revealing adjectives with annoyingly smug and glared back. “You know, you can rot your brain from academic elitism just as fast as you can from—ahem—” She cleared her throat, then said in a horrible British accent, “exorbitant amounts of social media?”

“I don’t sound like that,” said Giles indignantly. Then, “And my name is Mr. Giles, thank you—”

“I’ll cut you a deal,” said the woman. “I’ll call you Mr. Giles if you let me install wifi in your library.”

“Absolutely not!” said Giles immediately, infuriated. “How dare you blackmail me with informalities!”

“Well, how dare you insult me and my chosen profession!”

“You came into this library when there was a clearly marked CLOSED sign on the door—”

“I was trying to be friendly!”

“BY BRINGING IN THE INTERNET?”

“Okay, what is going on?” came Buffy’s voice.

Giles turned. Buffy, Willow, and Xander were standing in the open doorway, all of them watching the spectacle with expressions that suggested they’d been here for longer than he would have liked them to be. “She was attempting to install better Internet in the library,” he said, “and I told her that I wasn’t having any such nonsense.”

“Wait, the Internet is nonsense now?” said Willow, frowning.

“Rupert here thinks that everyone uses good wifi for flash games, dating sites, and Instagram,” said the woman, patting Giles on the shoulder. He jumped away and knocked over two stacks of books. “And I attempted to inform him that actually, the Internet is used for a lot of things when you’re not a dinosaur.”

Buffy looked extremely happy. Xander looked like he was trying not to laugh. Willow’s frown had deepened. “Well, Giles isn’t a dinosaur, Ms. Calendar,” she said, “and I don’t think it’s very mature of either of you to be acting like this. You two are my favorite teachers.”

“Her?” said Giles.

“Him?” said Ms. Calendar.

“Work it out,” said Willow, and led a beaming Buffy and a giggling Xander out of the library.

Giles considered this turn of events. Awkwardly, he said, “I—suppose I was a bit abrasive, initially. If Willow likes you, you can’t be as intolerable as you initially seemed.”

“Way to apologize,” said Ms. Calendar, looking completely unimpressed.

Giles snorted. “Am I supposed to grovel for reacting poorly to you forcing your way into my library?”

Ms. Calendar tilted her head, glaring at him. “You do know that the reason a school library needs Internet is for things like online research papers and collaborative study groups?” she said.. “A lot of the work that these teachers assign is done almost entirely online, and a lot of students are going to turn to the library for a good place to study between classes. The least you can do is make the library more accessible for the kids who are going to be using the Internet responsibly.”

“Or,” said Giles, refusing to feel guilty, “the least I can do is make the library more accessible for the children who want to come in here and read books, undisturbed by YouTube videos and, and, Myspace.”

“Have you ever touched a computer, or have you just read a lot of instruction manuals from 2009?” said Ms. Calendar.

Giles didn’t want to answer that.

“Anyway,” said Ms. Calendar. “I do not accept your apology, I think you’re a total asshole, and at some point, when you aren’t paying attention, I am going to sneak back in here and put the wifi router somewhere you will never find it. Kudos!” She patted Giles on the shoulder again (she had graceful fingers with sparkly, painted nails, not that Giles noticed) and headed out of the library without a backwards glance.

“I hate her very much,” said Giles to the books. It didn’t sound all that convincing.

The wifi router turned up seventeen times within the next two days, regardless of his attempts to remove it from the library. Giles had no idea how she was doing it, and strongly suspected that the children were helping her out.
