Look how happy he is to be at her side. So pure.

[A_Serial_Shipper @juli_watches]

You don’t say! I had no idea! You never mentioned it before.

[Elysian Fields @SpuffyFields]

Except he told Buffy to kill him, and Buffy said she believed in him.

Except he did offer to leave and Buffy said she needed him, and he (unlike every other man in her life) listened.

Giles is the one who bailed on her when she needed him the most. What gives him the right?

[A_Serial_Shipper @juli_watches]

You wouldn’t stand a chance against that version of him.

[Bronzespuffy @bronzespuffy]

Thinking about how profound of an impact that seeing Spike laugh with Joyce and Dawn had on Buffy.

It's very telling that this is what confirms Spike's feelings for her. A glimpse of the happy family life that she always craved from a partner and we never saw from Angel or Riley

@browtherbear @slayerxvampire @loveisntbrains_ Best friends 🥺🥺🥺🥺

[Elysian Fields @SpuffyFields]

Think this also comes down to characters' willingness to be accountable for the worst things they've done. There's a clear division with Angel and Xander, and even Willow. Spike never shies away from the worst bits of himself.

[Elysian Fields @SpuffyFields]

Yes! New material is fantastic, but if you're in a fandom that's been around for a hot minute (like, say, Buffy), there are so many legacy works that built fandom into what it is today. Read older fics!

[Thea @Tellhulla]

@RosalieStanton Can't wait!

[Bronzespuffy @bronzespuffy]

The way that Buffy's "first priority" is to check on Spike and she puts her hand on his shoulder even though Xander is the one who's actually injured.

They share a very intimate look together and you can see how much they love each other.

twitter cannot be replicated cause where the hell else am i gonna post every thought i have? the canvas discussion boards?

[Elysian Fields @SpuffyFields]

Exactly. Buffy shows her love through actions. The words may be hard for her, but she damn sure knows how to say it without them.

[Elysian Fields @SpuffyFields]

And she was there believing in him when he couldn't believe in himself. At his most vulnerable. He doesn't have to ask her to see him the way he did Cecily. Buffy just does.

@softlystarks I don't know about that but I can tell you I'm a Jonsa shipper and a Daemyra shipper 🫣

Men will kill your libido after you decided to have sex with them & then complain that you don't want to have sex with them
Dude I had already made up my mind about it I shaved EVERYTHING but then I saw you spitting on the floor and now I don't want you anymore and that's on you

[Thea @Tellhulla]

@SpuffyFields But I guess that doesn't count because it happen in the porch so technically not in the house?

[Thea @Tellhulla]

@SpuffyFields And when Faith was annoying her by existing and Spike joked about killing her to cheer her up not only did it work but she even played along

[optimus crime @deannajmo_]

Sorry but spike season 5 softening with Dawn and Tara, bringing flowers for Joyce, while still not having a soul alone makes him infinitely more redeemable than angel even before s6 and what he does between when buffy is dead BYE

[Amy Bliss @ImDrowningInU]

Angel and Xander are the boys (men) that society has been pushing women into "choosing" while ignoring that they are emotionally and often physically abusive. But hey, they pretend to be nice so that's all that's important, right?

[Thea @Tellhulla]

@SpuffyFields He went from big bad, to annoying neighbor to love interest
Truly a legend
