i don't think the spike girlies talk enough about how he was an upper-class posh dude who reverse my fair ladied himself so that he would sound cooler. like do you think he sat around practicing "the rain in spain" to make himself more cockney?

#i am not a spike girlie but i feel this is a neglected topic of discussion #i mean he's literally a rich dude cosplaying as working class that is so funny #also george bernard shaw's pygmalion was first performed in 1913 #so the exact reference i'm making doesn't fit the timeline i don't think #since he already has the accent in the boxer rebellion scenes #but i'd like to believe he went to see the play and felt really seen #but also because he's spike #he related way too much to henry higgins and could not understand why he and eliza don't end up together #probably loves the musical (my beloathed) though #spike #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer
