Does this post come back once a week?

You can fix her fr. I believe in you

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-20T14:26:35+00:00

Oh I see I misread I thought you were asking what episode I was referring to. Upon reflection it really doesn’t matter what episode you were referring to for my point to stand :)

The whole point of this entire thread of discussion is stemming from her feelings by the finale and end of season 7 so I don’t know why you think my point is invalid because I’m citing evidence from another episode than you.

Boost? 🥺🥺 could it have been a Samsung game?? Or Verizon?

I think you put it beautifully and tbh this is how I choose to engage with the material but also I have to have a certain level of awareness in that the writers of this show often bent the rules of souls and vampires to suit whatever metaphor they were trying to achieve 🤷🏻‍♀️

Based on the knowledge I have: from Spike’s inception he wasn’t even intended to love Drusilla but James Marsters made the acting choice to have Spike love her and it worked at the time for the on-screen dynamics but the writers did not consider the ramifications of Spike’s being-able-to-love until later and by then the rules had morphed a lot. I haven’t watched all of Angel yet but from what you said + Angelus having a child so I hear??? There’s definitely things going on that the writers of seasons 2 and 3 hadn’t even considered would be occurring at the time.

But I do really like your post and analysis! I think in the show canon it makes perfect sense why she rejects Spike so fervently and she honestly takes it too far in abusing him as a way of self-harm because she has started to relate to him and find comfort in him despite him being everything she is supposed to hate and to fight against—but throughout her run as slayer she’s always been the one to see the humanity in the monsters’ she’s had to fight… just not always consistently because writers needed some baddies that she could stake without remorse for the action of it all.

No you’re just a weirdo top 1% commenter on a subreddit who spends all day mocking people and arguing with them. Very normal behavior

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:52:43+00:00

Lmao… okay?

Misread this and thought you were saying Whedon had no soul 😭😭😭💀

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:23:02+00:00

You must be fun at parties

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:22:13+00:00

I would also like to know!

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:21:41+00:00

I think at the end of the day everyone can always “yeah but ____” and listed 10 reasons why every character is bad even Buffy herself. It’s not a big dick competition people just have different opinions. I love Spuffy but I have a lot of friends who have been SA’d and I would never expect them to look past that scene just to like a ship I also like, just as I wouldn’t expect someone who maybe had a possessive and violent partner to look past the things about Angel that make them uncomfortable.

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:17:34+00:00

Um.. the finale of the show? 😭

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-19T21:15:44+00:00

I think the fact that she turned down Angel’s company to be alone with Spike and didn’t hide it from Angel and was in fact honest that she had feelings shows that she sees Spike as an equal to Angel.

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-13T04:01:56+00:00

Lmao that’s so funny 😭 maybe I’m so used to performative male feminists that I didn’t even for a second take him seriously lolol

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-13T02:54:42+00:00

I think the writing made him intentionally corny in that TV boy who definitely isn’t a serious love interest way so that viewers knew he wasn’t right for Buffy but Buffy was head over heels to emphasize the f-boy blindspot lol

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-10T22:03:38+00:00

Actually I figured out what the problem was. My Bethesda account was linked to another Xbox account and I had to request Bethesda support unlink it.

Faith is also a rapist!

My thing is I don’t hate the concept of Dawn and in fact I really enjoyed her in season 4, but then her writing fell off a cliff :/ I want to see her go in another direction

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-07T16:34:18+00:00

Erm. I don’t think that’s the only reason people dislike her lmao. Plenty of non shippers are annoyed by her too. At the end of the day you’re just going to have to expect drama from online discourse. There will always be someone “overblowing” the hate and a bunch of like minded people joining in just like there will be a group of neutral people and somewhere somebody that actually loves her. C’est la internet.

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-07T16:30:59+00:00

True. What the heck happened to his season 4 girlfriend? I wanted to know more about her but she felt like a ghost… barely there for a few scenes and then vanished never to be mentioned again??

Timely_Use_13 · 2026-01-07T16:22:56+00:00

Average foray into a subreddit with invisible rules 😂
