Buffy fandom content thatā€™s largely ā€œletā€™s shame the spuffy and spike girlies!ā€ (girlies used genderlessly) by constantly telling us how bad/wrong/fucked up/sick/crazy/in need of therapy we are under the guise of ā€œconcernā€ for us is so crazy and so funny and so embarrassing for those creators because theyā€™re literally just joss whedon 2.0:
Hating/shaming/finger wagging and acting morally superior to a character/ship and their fans but at the same time being COMPLETELY dependent on said character/ship/fans you spend the majority of your time dumping on!! Like what on earth would you do for content if you took away the thing you spend 70-90% of your time shitting on??? Angel only got a 5th season BECAUSE of Spike - do you realize how crazy that is??? Joss spent all this time trying and failing to destroy Spikeā€™s character because ā€œit wasnā€™t the Spike showā€ (screamed in Jamesā€™ face by joss as he is pinning him against a wall - thereā€™s a guy whoā€™s footsteps you want to follow in!) and then heā€™s using Spike as a way to save Angel just a few years later šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€ THAT IS SO EMBARRASSING FOR JOSS AND ANGEL šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹
Like I am so sorry you do not understand spuffy and spike - truly. If you donā€™t love him and spuffy I genuinely feel sad for you because you are missing out on SO MUCH FUN, beauty, gut wrenching heart ache, angst, healing, tenderness, absolute poetry and all around sexy, slutty time - spuffy is the ship that has EVERYTHING, performed by two absolutely PHENOMENAL actors with bonkers chemistry. Spuffy just is that girl proven by the fact that the haters are making podcasts and writing books just to shit on us (like we didnā€™t already cover all of it enough from the showā€™s creator, the patriarchy and the show itself???) DECADES later šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹šŸ˜¹
So my darling Spuffys - please donā€™t take these peopleā€™s misogyny and self hatred to heart. I know weā€™re all often chronically misunderstood and it can be so frustrating to witness a beloved character or ship endure the same treatment of being so horribly misunderstood and to see others support them but truly theyā€™re just FURIOUS angel didnā€™t do what Spike did and that he doesnā€™t waste his time moping and hating himself and helps buffy to do the same. Theyā€™re hating from outside a club they canā€™t even get into because they donā€™t have the media literacy, emotional intelligence, and self confidence in who they are as people to love characters who are naughty and have fun doing it šŸ˜ˆ
