this is so dumb sorry,, but literally ALL i can think about is buffy caressing spike's face !!!!

#spuffy #my edit #btvs #this is mostly them making out... she really loves to hold his face

[honorarypines]

I have such a soft spot for characters calling each other baby in fics!! It's kinda simple and basic, but also works well in so many situations! Can be either super flirty or sweet and comforting! And I love both! Top tier ships moment in my opinion

#this post is mostly about: #garycato #icemav #spideypool #spuffy #feel free to tag your ships!

calling SR a character assassination for sp i ke is ridiculous

#anti spuffy #anti spike #not really anti spike but just in case #throughout the season they have had a very unhealthy dynamic #and absolutely no discussion on consent #SR is without a doubt a conclusion for what was a very very bad relationship #and are we ignoring s5 spike's lack of taking no for an answer #his stalking and obsession #which Buffy's friends had FULL RIGHTS to be concerned with and disgusted by #and because people hate xander they'll just look over that he WAS CONCERNED AND HAD REASONING FOR BEING SO #spike literally tells buffy that he'll MURDER druscilla if she doesn't admit she likes him??? #then the thing with the sex robot buffy replica is nothing short of repulsive #and it's insane that it's played off as comedic #or brushed away because he did a good thing by not telling glory about dawn #so it cancels out apparently? be fr.... #yes the s6 relationship is interesting and well developed (mostly) and just because it's unhealthy doesn't make it less compelling #but the way fandom has treated it is frankly disgusting and repulsive #most either shove it under a rug or say that spuffy could still happen after SR #and no ! #after everything they'd done in s6 to each other. and after SR r*pe attempt there was no coming back to that relationship #and spike's redemption was better handled it ATS s5 than in s7 of btvs #sorry but this makes me sooooo angry #rape mention cw #rape mention tw

you  put  your  hands  under  my  shirt  /  undid  my  bra  and  said  these  words " darling,  you're  so  pretty,  it  hurts. "  you  pushed  me  up  against  my  wall  /  threw my  clothes  down  on  the  floor.  /  you  said  "  darling,  are  you  ready  for  more  ?  "

#spuffy brain going brrrrrrr #very them tho gah :( #i. suck the rot right out of my bloodstream › spike. #spuffy / #im thinking about dead things tonight and this is why this happened #dead things is one of those spuffy episodes where it like rly hits u in the face #“you can't understand why this is killing me can you ?” / “why don't you explain it!” #one of theee hardest eps to watch especially the katrina stuff #but like i just understand it on a metaphysical level and sometimes it comforts me #mostly because of how /good/ buffy is #how hard she tries how much she cares ugh #i love her i love her i love her

Gif makers are magical. It takes only one great gifset to make me fall back in love with a ship, even if I haven’t thought about them in years. Their power is truly something.

#spuffy gif makers this one is mostly for you #but it’s true for all my OTPs #Bughead/Literati/Nace… #the same can also be said about fanfic writers #thank you thank you thank you

Awww Andrew!

#his reaction to seeing spike ❤❤❤ #they should have just made spike & buffy start an off screen long distance relationship-ish thing #would have resolved the character weirdness with spike and kept things ambiguous to please fans #make it a spike talks regularly with her over the phone but doesn't want to discuss it with angel and co #because it's his private business and he doesn't need it mocked or scrutinized #keeps it open for audience interpretation and doesn't force smg into the show if they can't get her #this could have been the opening for it - andrew knows so the cat's out of the bag and spike has to talk it out w buffy #which again doesn't need to be shown - it can be left mostly up to fans to decide how she reacted #i just love the idea of them quietly supporting each other while they're an ocean away #very in keeping with their s7 relationship and could be taken as platonic or romantic #spike #spuffy #ats s5 #5x11 damage

[livlepretre]

You know what’s absolutely hilarious to me when I think about the ships in Fairytale Ending? I always think of that saying about how communication is essential in relationships (along with trust), and like, clearly the Mikaelsons have not heard of this saying

Communication and trust are only essential in real life; in fact, I would actually argue that lack of communication and active, seething distrust are sooo much better for fictional relationships.

#look on a tangent the fact that spuffy goes from no communication and seething distrust to like #knowing and trusting the other more than anyone else ever possibly could is part of what makes that ship just consume my soul okay #it has all of the dark vibes but it also gets so intense and intimate #anyway #I don't know that Elena is ever going to trust Klaus after the exile or can ever REALLY bring herself to trust Rebekah #she definitely trusts/trusted tyler #maybe deep down she trusts stefan as well #and the hilarious thing is I think they all think they're GREAT at communicating #it's just that they mostly want to communicate lies #fairytale ending #anonymous

Top 10 Spuffy fics I’ve read (Sept 2023)

A Game of Getting Caught by EllieRose101 [NC-17]

The eternal question: What is the most powerful force in the universe? Buffy's denial, Spike's need to prove her wrong, or Xander's pig-headedness? (Set in a world in which Riley doesn’t visit Sunnydale in Season Six, so the Spuffy sexcapades continue––and so do the close calls of almost getting caught by the Scoobies.)

The Bad Penny by OffYourBird [R]

Six years ago, Buffy made a home in a new dimension with a Spike who defied every rule to be by her side. Now it’s time to put to rest unfinished business in her original dimension. However, a visit there quickly turns apocalyptic, and at the heart of it is the two vampires who set Buffy's original journey in motion, and both of them have a lot of explaining to do.

Best Wishes by bookishy, Dusty, Grief Counseling, ashcrashed, MaggieLaFey, womanaction [R]

Well Hell's Bells! It's a Sunnydale style wedding! You know what that means: things are going to go very very smoothly.

Binding Effects by simmony [R]

What was supposed to be a simple truth spell takes a dark turn when Buffy can suddenly read Spike’s feelings—and he hers.

Future Happiness by EllieRose101 [R]

High School is over and Angel is gone, leaving Buffy worried about what lies ahead. At least until Willow tries to help. (Set in the summer between Seasons Three and Four. Mostly.)

The Future is Ours by DarkEternity96 [NC-17]

What if in mid-Season 4, Spike demands another spell from Willow, in a last-ditch attempt to get Dru back… but rather than having her cast a typical love spell, Spike wants to travel forward in time, to experience the future Drusilla claims she ‘sees’, and prove to her that there is bugger all between him and the Slayer. Cue the spell going awry, and S4 Spike being trapped in the body of his future self, in the very unexpected world of Season 6. And you can only imagine Spike’s utter shock when a lust-fuelled Buffy turns up at his door…

Night Swimming by Geliot99 [R]

An unexpected heatwave in mid-March is reason enough for an impromptu pool party for the Scoobies. But when Richard takes a second stab* at winning Buffy's affections, Spike is all too keen to show her how much fun night swimming with a vampire can really be… *see what I did there? Set between 'Older and Far Away' and 'As You Were'

Right Where You Left Me by acekoomboom [R]

Buffy is a newer ghost, as far as ghosts go, and she can't move on. She sits in the corner she haunts, right where he left her, waiting for him to return. Time moves differently for the dead. Haunted Diner AU.

Taste and Temptation by RavenLove12 [NC-17]

For a sticky sweet, tasty treat: Take one stressed-out Slayer, add one snarky vampire, place in an empty house and mix well. Bake on high and top with whipped cream.

Thing of Doom by Sunalso [Adult Only]

AtS S5. Things go a little off canon in Destiny and Buffy ends up with a whole lot more than she bargained for. Human? Demon? What makes Spike who he is and what’s a girl to do with the love of her life when he’s double the trouble?

if buffy can wear this extremely thin and see-through shirt while faking being grateful to her friends for bringing her back to life from heaven, and while she tells the vampire who loves her and who she is called to kill "i can be alone with you here"... then i am not wearing a bra to school tomorrow.

#insane outfit btw i'm not even gonna get into it #but like... you can literally *see* her nipple the entire scene #which is like girl i WISH #i only ever see ppl not wear bras in tv (and mostly 90s tv).. and why isn't that my life #btvs #personal #this post is about so many different things #buffy summers #spuffy #silvermars being UNHINGED about the btvs wardrobe

10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU ⌞ spuffy version

"I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."

[once-more-with-tabula-rasa]

Hi! I finally succumbed to the allure of Tumblr and am happily here - but friendless :) A little about me: 30s (don't worry, I'm quite immature for my age), 4w5 enneagram, INFJ, Ravenclaw, huge fan of a soft and mostly canon divergent spuffy, one of the few who's in love with the limitless potential of giles x anya, in awe of Tara Maclay. But we don't have to have any of this in common for me to follow you, so please just like this post if you still occasionally watch or reblog about BtVS!

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #i have literally zero friends and it's taking me back to my junior high days lol #spuffy #spike x buffy #i ignore a lot of their canon lol #tara maclay #rupert giles #is literally my favorite man on earth #anya jenkins #giles x anya #anya x giles #ganya #basically i love all the characters and just want them to be happy for longer than a few seconds at a time :) #buffy summers #spike

SHIPPER TAG GAME

Tagged by @negrowhat to give away all my fandom secrets. I came up in the US, so most of these will be Western shows. Also be aware that I'm old and been around in fandoms for decades, some of you youths might not even recognize these ships.

1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?

Felicity and Noel. I was very into them (and very anti-Ben) when I was first watching this show at the tender age of 14, but then I rewatched it as an adult, realized Noel was a classic Nice Guy with some clear warning flags, and settled into Team Ben.

2. Which ship would you consider your first one?

Hmm maybe Elizabeth Wakefield and Todd Wilkins? I think I started reading Sweet Valley High at, like, age 8. For TV, I was a sitcom kid and I was obsessed with Dwayne Wayne and his flip-up glasses as a child. I loved him and Whitley. Damn now I want to rewatch.

3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?

The first I read? I am pretty sure the honor goes to Buffy and Spike.

They were the first ship I remember having that classic fanfic brainrot combo of 1) captivating me entirely with their dynamic and 2) canon leaving me unsatisfied. I lost months of my life over at Elysian Fields.

In terms of the first fanfic I wrote, the honor goes to Ian and Mickey.

I was big into Shameless for its first four seasons. But then the show went way off the rails, the fandom went with it, and I quit watching and scrubbed all my fandom activity off the internet.

4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?

I honestly have no idea. Probably something Buffy, I was doing a lot of internet dwelling for that show.

5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?

Getting into discourse is my whole entire thing LOL. I have survived many, many ship wars and let me tell ya you haven't seen unhinged until you've been knee deep in the tags in a long-term fandom with multiple ships for the protagonist. One of the things I love about BL and nearly all Asian dramas is that we go into every show knowing who the main pairing is, so we don't have to fight about ships.

6. Did you used to have any no-otp or have it currently?

Hmm I was a big Buffy/Angel anti and that was before Spuffy was even a twinkle in my eye. I never liked that man in a romance until he got hooked up with Cordelia in his own show (but then they ruined it ugh). I was also very anti-Harry/Hermione back in the OG HP days (let characters have meaningful platonic relationships!).

7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?

I've been on a Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian kick of late.

8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?

OTPs are eternal! Like I said above, since I mostly watch Asian drama now, they're baked in. My fav of my current watches is Ten and Prem.

9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?

YES I AM STILL MAD ABOUT ROBIN AND BARNEY.

You show me two characters who are clearly uniquely compatible, you give me a brief taste of their extremely fun and non-traditional relationship, and then you break them up and stick her with the milquetoast Nice Guy protagonist in a total betrayal of your entire narrative premise? Fuck off forever, HIMYM, I will see you in hell.

10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?

Hmm nothing comes to mind. If I decided to hate a pair in the past I am pretty likely to still be hating.

11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?

I would like to see you try to cancel me!! I'll echo Eboni here and say Brian and Justin, though of course there were people who hated them because of the age gap back in ye olden times, too. Fandom spaces are mostly women and women in queer fandom spaces often struggle to account for the totally different culture and power dynamics between m/m pairings.

12. What was your favorite crack ship?

I don't really do crack ships, I am a canon pairing girlie.

13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics of?

I don't know who the ultimate winner is, but I think it's probably a neck and neck competition between Spuffy and Wangxian as my most read pairing.

14. What most of your ships usually have in common?

There's actually a lot of variety in them in terms of personalities, appearance, and tropes. I think what makes me really click into a ship is the feeling that the two people are uniquely suited to each other and well matched to go through life together.

15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?

When I don't believe they can actually make it.

Follow this train of thought with me and tell me if I'm onto something or just wearing Spuffy shipping goggles.

Here are the things we know to be true about Dawn: 1) She's made from Buffy; her blood, her memories, her essence, etc. Although Dawn is her own person, she also *is* Buffy to some degree. 2) Everyone's false memories of Dawn show her fitting into Buffy's past in a way that doesn't disrupt any major events, but it gives them very real feelings toward her. 3) Her main function as the monks built her is to be innocent and in need of the Slayer's protection.

Here's where my weirdo headcanon comes in.

Dawn's relationships with Buffy's loved ones show her attachment to them, and their attachment to her. They tie Dawn positively to Buffy's family and friends, all the people who are likely to join in protecting her.

Why the fuck is Spike on this list? lmao

If memory serves, Spike and Dawn are on good terms from the very beginning of season 5. She even--very briefly--has a small crush on him later. That's a whole lotta approval from Dawn. Not to mention an extremely uncommon amount of respect and affection from Spike.

It's hard to say precisely which parts of Dawn were intentional, and how much of it was just magic taking the monks' general orders and running wild. I think mostly the latter. Regardless, the monks, the magic behind the spell, and Buffy herself flagged Spike as someone who would protect Dawn. Obviously, that was a very good call. He went through hell and high water trying to keep her safe.

I think that the monks' and magic's involvement in this choice likely played a less specific role. The monks had one goal: make the Slayer keep the Key safe. The magic's ability for independent choices is more nebulous, but we can safely assume that it created Dawn to attract as much dependable protection as possible (while still being a real human person).

ALL of this works through Buffy. Everything Dawn is, it came from Buffy, especially the #1 goal behind the spell. Keep Dawn safe. Set up relationships with people who will protect her at all costs.

So in her heart of hearts, even after all the bullshit Spike pulled at the end of season 4, Buffy knew that she could count on him as she took on the most important task she'd ever been given.

Holy hell.
