#I watch it for buffy

[comradesummers]

love seeing people on here watch btvs for the first time. at first they're like, i'm watching this silly goofy show from the 90's and i'm having so much fun! and then by the time they've entered the torment nexus you've been living in for over a decade, they're too invested to leave. it's like watching people being slowly dragged into hell.

Buffy fans can have a little gaslighting

As a treat

I just know that I’m not a superhero - saving the world no matter what - material bc when I watched Buffy getting kicked out of her own house after she sacrificed everything for these people, I would simply curse them out and then I would hop on a plane to Europe and let them die for all I care…

in which spike shares his cringe poetry

I don't know why, but 2024 really is the year of missing the Hale Pack for me :(

I miss Derek having the chance to become a real alpha

I miss Erica and Boyd getting the chance to return to the pack and live

I miss snarky bastard uncle Peter in the corner

I miss getting to explore Isaac living with Derek and finding a home

I miss Pack Mom Stiles

Heck, I miss Jackson getting the chance to find a place where he belongs instead of being written off

Watching Spike at Buffy's party in Older and Far Away and thinking about when characters act all nympho because it's easier to act like you just want sex instead of love or attention. Spike's skulking about and pestering her like he's desperate for a quick shag under the stairs and like I'm sure he genuinely is lol and wants a shot of the electric back massager BUT I think bigger picture he'd just looove her to like acknowledge their situation even in the shadowy vicinity of others. Like it'd make it so much more real for him. Sneaking around is hot and all but I feel like he's also playing up sex crazed machismo in this ep because he wants to matter and get attention and properly exist in her life. He does this in general in s6 of course to get intimacy and I think that's also interesting in terms of how things sadly culminate in this season

buffy & angel + season one

[the-littlest-goblin]

guess who is finally watching BTVS in the year 2024

[variousqueerthings]

the thing about spike is that he's such a rat man, such a pathetic, horrible freak, but james marsters is so charismatic that even when he's at his worst, he's got something interesting to him, and then of course at some point spike's development is such that he'll say things like "made a promise to a lady" in order to explain why he's helping the good guys at high risk of death and it's so very casually heroic and chivalrous, and he'll collapse to the ground and sob into his hands when buffy dies, and you can see how that was there the whole time, but twisted by all his anger and a lifetime with drusilla (who herself was twisted into her shape by angel), so you just can't help but root for him to become a hero of some kind

ok but we seriously needed more episodes about versions of the main characters as vampires. Vampire Cordelia could have been so much fun! Vampire Tara would have been sooo tragic and terrifying. Vampire Giles would have been a good way to explore more Ripper Giles. Vampire Faith trying to turn Buffy. Vampire Dawn!!!!!!!

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 7x01 | “Lessons” 

[juicysnoop]

One of the funniest jokes in the Buffy episode "Once More With Feeling" is that when the Scooby Gang busts in and sees Buffy singing under compulsion from the spell and fighting demons, Giles goes, "She needs backup! Anya! Tara!" And instead of helping her fight or anything like that they stand behind her and start backup singing and dancing for her. And I crack up every time I see that but I also think it's fun if, diegetically, Giles was like "Oh no, Buffy is having her big, explosive, 11 o' clock number. If she has to bear the brunt of this musical number alone it *will* kill her before we can resolve this," (since dying of combustion if you sing too much for too long is the threat of the episode). And having Anya and Tara provide backup vocals was actually a magically effective way to shift some of the burden off of Buffy.
