I’ve been trying to explain a lot of this but I couldn’t put it into words properly

I love Spike so much. He's the most character of all time. But it's more than that. He's more than bleached hair, a pretty face, and bloodlust. He makes sense. The character makes sense.

He's William. He's still, despite it all, William Pratt, the god-awful poet and pathetic wet cat of a man under the thumb of mommy his whole life. He just wants to be loved and held and to satiate his unending bloodlust. He's not the big bad. He's pathetic.

He's burnt out on all the plots and schemes. Plots and schemes are Angel's thing. Serving some grand evil purpose is Darla's thing. Cruelty is Drusilla's thing. William Pratt is a poet and a mama's boy who just wants a strong woman to love him and tell him what to do. He's tired. He's so tired of the plots and schemes.

Sure, he knows how to have a good time, he plays kitten poker and sells demon eggs to the highest bidder but that's a matter of making money or hanging out with friends. It's not what he WANTS. The only thing he wants is to be loved by someone who loves him back. The problem is, he's toxic and obsessive. He doesn't fall in love. He becomes consumed. His whole world revolves around the object of his obsession. So when he's with Drusilla, he's the big bad evil guy doing schemes. Trying to impress her with extreme violence and death. Because that's what Drusilla is into. Torture and death. She's Catholic. And a vampire.

He also tries to impress Angel by killing Slayers because Angel is into Slayers and Angel and Spike canonically slept together don't at me. This man is bisexual.

When he's with Buffy he's a loyal dog. A bad boy, a part of the demonic world, but a dog nonetheless. He's a soulless monster but his obsession with Buffy turns him into one of the good guys. It's not natural for him. He feels it happening and he fights against it, but he's madly in love with her and he will be and do whatever it takes to impress her and make her love him back. He's obsessive.

He knows it, and he doesn't like that side of himself. He doesn't like that he's a pathetic dog. Sometimes he pushes against that side of himself. He tries to be a good person, for real. Not just a pathetic stalker of a man.

But he can't fight it. He is what he is.

And unfortunately that is a soulless vampire.

Hence that one scene that I pretend didn't happen.

But despite being definitionally evil, he can't stop being consumed the person he's obsessed with. Buffy wants him to have a soul. She wants him to not be the monster he is. So he rips William Pratt from his grave and resurrects him for her. He goes through hell to put his soul back inside his body for her. It takes her a long time to accept him again after what he did.

But he's the good boy now. He's a good dog.

Only she doesn't see him that way. In the end, he has her trust. Her love. She cares about him and sees him as her equal. As someone she can trust. She can't trust her friends because they're messy and constantly fucking up and betraying her because they don't understand what it is to be The Slayer. To have a human body and a human soul, with demonic power inside, and the divine mandate to sacrifice yourself for others, to save the world. No matter what that does to you.

Spike has a human soul, a demon inside him, trauma, and a divine mission to save the world. To sacrifice himself for everyone.

Spike is the only one who understands Buffy, and maybe the only one who ever will.

He's the perfect culmination of all her other relationships.

He fucks. Unlike Angel, Spike can fuck. He can experience joy alongside her.

He respects her strength and isn't emasculated or intimidated by the fact that she's stronger than him. He loves that she defeated a god. Unlike fucking Riley.

He's lived lifetimes worth of traumatic experiences. But he isn't currently experiencing an ongoing mental health crisis like Faith was.

And he likes poetry!

They even have the same ex boyfriend!

In conclusion He and Buffy are both the most character of all time and the narrative's favorites and therefore they are both perfect for each other and have the potential to be extremely toxic together and I'm so happy for them, I hope she pegs him, I know he would love that.

rewatching Buffy is funny because in 'School Hard' they're all "William the Bloody" and "railroad spikes" this and "Once he starts something he doesn't stop" that and you can't believe you ever fell for that mysterious villain set up because that's literally mr puppy eyes himself like what do you mean he's worse than anything she's ever faced? This is the man who complains about his nails being wet and gets nervous about being out for a walk, bitch

Okay, so I think the people animating these lost Doctor Who adventures are doing a disservice to the queer community. The whole time I'm watching it I'm like "Why aren't Jamie and the Doctor touching? Why aren't they putting their faces stupidly close when they talk? That's not like them." Then I got to a scene that they have a surviving clip of and I realize THEY REMOVED ALL THE TOUCHING. Maybe because this style of animation doesn't have the full range of motion rather than bc of homophobia but STILL

ORIGINAL SCENE

All it takes is for someone to point a weapon at the Doctor and he's smitten

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

Renfield be like. Serving count

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

just two characters who are queer af, canonically used to write poetry about their unrequited crushes, became as powerful as possible to compensate for their past ‘weakness,’ and loneliness, and who’s names start with ‘Will.’

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

I think this would greatly improve their relationship 🩸

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

He deserves them

martin is so mean reblog if you’d let renfield eat his spiders :(

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

I’m posting this so I actually write this

I can’t be the only one who wants them to interact

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

dan howell is the worlds first nepo youtuber like amazingphil said you guys will watch danisnotonfire and you will enjoy it and we all just did

[jamie-the-scene-kid]

I have been saying this for years, it depends how it got to that point

I find it kind of stupid how 'half full' vs 'half empty' is framed as an optimist/pessimist thing. If it starts full and gets halfway drained, it's half empty. If it starts empty and gets halfway filled, it's half full. If you don't know the starting state it's both simultaneously.

I love this post

I'm thinking about Renfield and halloween again....

Halloween would've been a difficult time for him for so long, since I think that Dracula absolutely despises It and everyone who takes part In It, and so therefore Renny was never able to experience It. Dracula definitely sees all the children and adults dressing up as him as a form of mockery - so of course he gets angry. Halloween Is always the perfect time to go on an anger fueled rampage, or to force Renfield to fetch him those who dare to put on fake plastic teeth or wear capes.

He also never experienced halloween before Dracula, since In england It's never really been that popular nor as extravagant and over the top as halloween In america - so he's never had any experience with trick or treating or pumpkin carving or decorating. Dracula only made the holiday worse for him.

Every year he dreads having to count down the days, planning the path through the city, preparing materials to Incapacitate victims, and packing his and Dracula's bags. The day comes, and the bloodbath begins. He's always forced to watch, like a parent watching their child scoff down the sweets they collected. And then they move to another city or country and the timer restarts.

He never understood why people could be so happy on halloween when he would feel terror and misery the moment the leaves changed colour. But with Dracula dead, he can finally reclaim the holiday.

What was once a day full of blood and the screams of victims as they were fed on Is now a day of warm drinks and scarfs and fake cobwebs. He Is taking back all of the terrifying things that he had to suffer through and now he's decorating his home with them. Plastic spiders and bats are scattered across his home and hung from the ceiling, and he can finally be one of those people wearing vampire fangs and a cape.

Mark holds a special meeting for the DRAAG members to exchange sweets and drink hot chocolate and dress up the week before halloween, and Rebecca binge watches old horror movies with him for the entire day and halloween Is finally safe.
