Saw that Gone gifset, and spent my shower crafting an elaborate post about how s6 spuffy had like 8 layers of themes
#Spike as Buffy’s unhealthy escapist outlet#Buffy who rejects Spike’s genuine overtures for a healthier relationship#Spike who calls Buffy a monster because he believes there’s no other way she’ll be with him#which is a reflection of#Buffy who already believed she was a monster because of her depression#which circles back around to#Buffy rejecting Spike out of her shame over feeling kinship with him despite her disgust with vampires#which then canonically tracks to!!!#Buffy confessing her shame to Tara who then Explicitly connects her Slayer Shame to queerness#WHICH IS A REFERENCE TO#Buffy coming out to her mom in Becoming#and then sprinkle on another layer of#Buffy feeling ashamed of the sex she has with Spike because it’s ‘kinky’ and ‘deviant’#which adds another layer of (unintentional?) connection to#Buffy and Spike’s relationship as a parallel to Willow and Tara#which casts gay sex as deviant :/#which is not true!#which follows that the source of Buffy and Spike’s problems is shame#hi I know everyone in the world (including me) has already made this post#but sometimes I Remember#mine#btvs
