BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

4.15 | This Year's Girl

I was reminded of Spike and Joyce's friendship. We all know why Spike loves hanging around Joyce but then the question popped into my head of "why does Joyce like Spike" we know it's frequent enough to "always had a nice cuppa for me" but Joyce never says why when she knows he's a Vampire that tried to kill Buffy in the past.

THEN I remember that Joyce works at a gallery for antiques, and was seemingly drawn to a really fucking creepy one enough to put it in her house. And it hits me, Spike is a creepy antique that Joyce can interact with. One that she can gain first hand knowledge of the past, or extract wisdom from even if it's only about a Passions storyline.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 3.08 “Lovers Walk”

[automatonwithautonomy]

the moment where spike brings joyce flowers fucks me up so much. because. he liked her. she treated him like a person. something maybe no one else had ever done for - decades. longer. he had a bad break-up and she gave him cocoa. made awkward small talk. she didnt act like he was a freak. so he went to her grave. helped her grieving child try to resurrect her. he looked after her daughters. he didn't like seeing summers women take it so hard on the chin. he just - he liked joyce.

I love that in 2x22, after Buffy and Spike killed that vampire in front of Joyce, and Joyce asked what was going on, Buffy looked at Spike. The way we look at people when we don't know what to do, and want their silent thoughts, or to seek strength. Buffy had literally just formed an uneasy alliance with Spike less than an hour before, and yet when it came to whether or not to reveal her true self to her mother, to possibly change their entire relationship, Buffy still looked to Spike for advice or strength. It was like from the very get-go, she trusted him. She might not have consciously realized it, but she did.

Obsessed w Joyce Summers’ wilful ignorance. Buffy’s speech to her in becoming asking her ‘what did you think was going on? How many times did you have to wash blood out of my clothes’. The implications that the truth was spelled out right in front of her but she had gotten so good at closing her eyes. How many times was Joyce involved in vampire activity and then she immediately rolled over and ignored it? Joyce knowing that Buffy was sneaking out, was fighting, was doing something, but choosing to live in ignorance. For what reason? To cling to the last remnants of a normal life? The belief that maybe if she ignored it, it would go away? More than that, she’s living in Sunnydale!! The horrors are literally everywhere and this woman is covering her eyes and ears and going lalala and it somehow works??? Imagine successfully ignoring the fact you are stuck in the horror genre for two whole years by gaslighting yourself. Joyce Summers the woman you are.
