Theater kids are overdramatizing as usual

[sayyoume]

I absolutely agree with that. It's like different people with opposite opinions wrote one episode. It looks so out of current plot that all things that happened before and after that existed like in parallel universe. And they did that RIGHT after Spike and Buffy had that meaningful night and conversation about that. They've moved to a new level and then "Oh yeah, we have that other show that we need to promote and some folks asked us to write angel/buffy fanservice so yeah, she will kiss that guy". But the next day she will tell Spike that she loves him'. What is this nonsense? This only makes the whole story and the series look stupid. They only made it worse for themselves.

angel showing up in the penultimate buffy episode will neverrrr grow on me the quippy cheesy shit making out with him literally hours after she and spike talked about how much the night they spent together meant to both of them and the fucking cookie dough like the first minutes of their reunion are sooo out of place with where both of their stories are and the only good thing about it is when she bluntly says "what was the highlight of our relationship, when you broke up with me or when I killed you?"

Admittedly that's the show where most of "main" characters should symbolize the most central one aka Buffy. For some reason they can't just be themselves, have their own character. Like it's some kind of a threat to her. Everything must serve her image. This just adds one more reason for me to like Spike for example. Because he has his own personality and character.

Like here's a thought. Willow's role in the show as Buffy's Spirit is I think often misconstrued by fandom (including myself at one point). It's overly linked to her magic and connection to *spirituality*. It's treated a little hand-wavy, not explored much in analytical writing as opposed to the slightly easier to comprehend roles of Xander as Buffy's Heart, Giles as her Mind or Faith/Spike/Cordy as her Shadow. I think what's more pertinent to Buffy's story than the magic/spirituality aspect of Willow's character is the idea of Spirit as a force of will, something that animates Buffy's actions (or, her inactions). Willow's most constant function in the show is as a collorary to Buffy's drive. You can see this in Prophecy Girl when it's Willow's words that change Buffy's mind and allow her to accept her destiny. You can see it in Weight of the World, when Buffy gives up completely and it's Willow that gives her what she needs to carry on.. You can see it in the little moment in Consequences, when Buffy breaks down in Willow's arms, Willow's immediate reaction is to do what Buffy is doing and blame herself. You can see it in S6, when Willow's emotional instability and reliance on magic is paralleled directly with Buffy's depression and reliance on fucking Spike. Generally speaking, when Buffy's will to do any given thing is a topic of the episode's discussion, Willow is probably going to be used to parallel or contextualise it. It's as simple as that. She symbolises Buffy's Will. Her Will. Yes, I think that's intentional.

Well, I got a news flash for YOU. Your own series shows that it's not true.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER REWATCH -> Lie To Me (2.07)

[sayyoume]

And it continued with "I'll kill you for the mission"

Anyway, Buffy used to be an "I'll die for you" girlie but then she became an "I'll live for you" girlie, if you care.

happy out for a walk bitch day to those who celebrate

Hot topic said fat girlies love Spike too 💕

I don't quite understand what is to compare here. One episode is about a love story that was pushed to the audience so hard despite any controversial issue it actually had. They wanted to write a romantic novel so bad they used all romantic tv stereotypes they could think of.

And the other episode is about a story that was trashed and condemned by the narrative as much (in most of the seasons) as they wanted to create romance from the first one.

These are not only completely different episodes, it's like they are from different tv series.

Round 3 Poll 10

I Only Have Eyes for You: Sunnydale High School is haunted by the ghosts of a former student and teacher who reenact their tragic romance through the bodies of the school's current inhabitants.

Crush: Buffy learns that Spike has a crush on her - a situation made all the more dangerous by Drusilla's return to Sunnydale.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 4.02 — "Living Conditions"

buffy telling tara "i can't believe i let spike do those things to me" is making me feel insaneeeee. buffy YOU were doing things to HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buffy is so obsessed with erasing agency from herself when it comes to her desire for spike. she wants to believe that these actions weren't her choice and aren't indicative of who she is and what she wants. she wants to believe that there's a demon inside her making her want to be with spike. but there was no demon inside tara making her a lesbian and there's no demon inside buffy making her horny for spike. it's all her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

yes exactlyyyyy like the idea of spike makes her SICK it's so crazy. but she still wants him. also with how spike wants her so bad too. like if he didn't fuck her when she was at her lowest perhaps they could have formed a healthy relationship? but he did and so they cant. Truly ohhh so the crime was wanting I get it now 😂👉
