This scene from “The Yoko Factor” is so funny to me. Bc like

First of all, it cements that the antagonists of Buffy have the best gaydar bc they’re gay, because Faith (in the body swap episode) and Spike were literally the ONLY PEOPLE who NATURALLY noticed that Willow and Tara had a thing going without being told about it. It’s so fucking funny that Spike just immediately susses it out. Like yeah, they’re not hiding it, but he doesn’t even consider that it could be casual intimacy or anything, just like “yeah they’re lesbians, makes sense”

Second of all, the fact that he uses witchcraft as a metaphor for lesbianism. It’s just really funny

Third, how when he tells them that their friends are being judgy (a.k.a homophobic) about it, Willow just fucking believes him 😭 Like yes girl, this evil soulless vampire was definitely allowed to participate in a personal conversation between people who hate him about your relationship, makes total sense. She’s so upset about it too, bless her.

And then just Spike throwing in “I think it’s fine btw. If you wanna be a witch, be a witch, you know?” Like it’s just so fucking funny in retrospect. ‘Yeah, I’m an evil dude who cares about none of you, and I’m actively trying to convince you that your friends are homophobic so that it will cause a rift between you, but I just gotta let you know that I support gay people.’ It was probably so they’d trust his word more, but it’s still just so funny that he threw that in there. Just letting them know they have the Spike seal of approval.

Spike supports lesbians. Even when he wants them and their friends dead

another beautiful part of leverage is also how ready the team is to commit to anything that even mildly resembles a bit instantly and with full conviction. truly the no questions asked we lie for fun here family

[mag200]

forever will be so funny to me that buffy introduces their whole lore of vampires as literally soulless, unable to feel genuine human emotions, "a demon sets up shop in your body and it looks like you and it has your memories but it's not you", and then they introduce spike and drusilla and its like. well clearly all that wasn't fucking true.

one of the reasons i have more patience & affection for spuffy than for other m/f enemies-to-lovers ships in a similar mold is that buffy is under no illusion that she can fix that man. in fact she believes he is ontologically incapable of being fixed. he'll be like Buffy i can change and she'll be like You are literally not capable of doing that. then he actually does change and she's like. Wait you can do that??? Not sure how i feel about that to be honest

sorryyyyyy but spike tossing a cigarette on the ground in front of buffy as a way of announcing his presence is so cute. sweet little microcosm of their relationship. he causes a bit of mayhem and she swiftly puts a stop to it. crushes the cigarette under her shoe. that's her job. and he knows that's what she's going to do. he knows what the outcome will be. but he tosses the cigarette anyway. mutual enrichment. he's just playing. and she understands and it makes her smile.

side order doodle! based on the first trailer and concept arts from famitsu

i really liked the brown hair color that agent 8 had and the long tentacles that was in the concept art! i really wished we had a long hair style for our octolings 😭

[vaguely-concerned]

the fact that iron bull opens his recruitment conversation with pretending he doesn't quite remember the name of the the inquisition's ambassador. Jose-what's-her-name-again. he's just a big dumb jock no thoughts head empty mercenary who likes fighting and drinking don't worry about lil old me inquisitor! I'll hit things for you if you'd like as long as you pay me! ],) and then right after he reveals he's a spy he drops that he knows not only the name of your spymaster and how she operates but also her haircolour. (but like in a safely bro-y way tho! make that fighting and drinking and fucking! I'll be useful to you but in a real meathead non-threatening kind of way I'll be too busy bedding chantry sisters to do any real harm ],) continue to not worry about lil old me inquisitor!)

god bull you're so multidimensionally and fine-tunedly full of shit I love you so much fhdksah

week 52: out with the old, in with the new

based on janus, the roman god of beginnings and endings. happy new year!!

[automatonwithautonomy]

i like how many queer allegories there are in buffy. for example monster hunting is like being gay, doing magic is like being gay and *checks notes* dating spike is like being gay.

kill the narrative that The Acolyte didnt perform well compared to other Disney shows. The other shows were based on established characters and already had a dedicated fanbase and audience to start with. In contrast The Acolyte introduced us to a completely new era of Star Wars in live action with new original characters. And against all odds, it still performed well. Don’t be misled - The Acolyte is not a failed project. The real failure lies in Disney's reluctance to take risks and allow original ideas to flourish.
