#tbf s4 of angel was kind of a clusterfuck so maybe they weren’t together enough to give lilah a good plot but ats s4 was a clusterfuck

[stellernorth]

both angel the series and buffy the vampire slayer have characters who are fun villains that struggle with being in love with their enemies with benefits and refer to themselves as “evil” often. are introduced with a partner of the opposite gender who leaves by end of the second season but comes back into town for a bit in the fifth season. when their enemy with benefits breaks up with them they say something like “i’ve heard this song before” (but then that time it’s for real) and the scene makes me so sad for them. works with people who cause apocalypses but doesn’t particularly want to see one happen. is sometimes dressed in “black and white” clothing as symbolism for their morality compared to other characters. once dressed in the outfit of their enemy-with-benefits' more wholesome love interest to attract said enemy like it's some kind of weird drag. experiences… discrimination in the workplace. makes out with titular character. flirty interaction with faith lehane. gets a villain’s damn finger poked into their chest while on their back and is saved by their love interest; once saved they reveal something that helps protect a teenager related to the protagonist. has/had a sick mom. my friend.

#wrote this after i watch habeas corpus and i was fucking worked up about lilah #it’s lilah and spike. #i think comparing how the shows treated buffy/spike vs wes/lilah is pretty interesting #had to reach a bit to compare habeas corpses and intervention oh well #because it comes back to misogyny. the evil man is forgiven more than the evil woman. #tbf s4 of angel was kind of a clusterfuck so maybe they weren’t together enough to give lilah a good plot but ats s4 was a clusterfuck #BECAUSE of misogyny #post i made #angel the series #buffy the vampire slayer #lilah morgan #spike #buffy meta #also Yes lilah and angel didn't make out it was lilah and the older guy bodyswaped into angel's body but. eh
