#giles can handle that no sweat! i am not sure if wesley would Fully Get what’s behind jenny’s antagonism

Do you have any feelings on Jenny x Wesley?

i have seen the ship in at least one fic but i don’t think it works for me! wesley is very close to jenny’s type, but the critical thing that giles has and wesley lacks is a fundamental deep seated desire to destroy things — a desire that goes well beyond just hating a fucked up system. giles is also extremely selfish and self centered and i think jenny resonates with that SOOOO HARD. wesley is certainly capable of those impulses but i think at his core he is still very driven by determined (if exhausted) hope!!! he is a very sad man in the later seasons but he is not actively fucking other people over. giles dipped for england because it felt more comfortable for him.

like wesley most of the time is trying to be a dick to drive people away or because he’s a little socially clueless, which is very different from when giles is a dick; he will say just the most out of pocket hurtful and dismissive things with complete conviction and without particularly caring that they hurt people. jenny i think is so very very into the latter, not so much the former. (she likes when her partner draws blood.)
