Why are you always around when I'm miserable? 'Cause that's when you're alone, I reckon. I'm not one for crowds myself these days. Me neither. That works out nicely then.

#spike #spike btvs #spuffy #spuffyedit #btvsedit #btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #anyway. first scene spike lays eyes on buffy in the show and the last scene and i'm gettin EMOTIONAL about it #something something there's a shining golden thread running from the moment spike decides to kill this slayer to him bursting into flames #underneath sunnydale high. and that thread is his and buffy's intense mutual understanding of each other fr fr #and what is intense mutual understanding if not love at its core. really and truly.#idk i was gonna do something so different with this and then i ended up doing an edit that looks exactly like all of my other edits :/#but i do kind of like it. so. whatever.#it's terribly simple #you know you want to dance

SPIKE: do you need a dog. i can bark caps frm

#spike #spike btvs #spuffy #spuffyedit #btvsedit #buffy the vampire slayer #you know you want to dance #it's terribly simple #honestly i know plot reasons demanded that things progressed past this and i do enjoy their relationship in s6 and s7 #but i LOVE s5 spuffy and i think we should have gotten twelve seasons of this dynamic. buffy and her vicious chained dobermann bf #who whines and whimpers whenever she's too mean to him. big bad wolf who is both big and bad and would happily eat out of her hand.#and buffy not really liking him but also being obsessed with him and clicking with him and getting him more than anyone else in her life #and being kind of a brat about it too i think thats a great part of the relationship as well

Everything About Both Angel and Spike's Relationships With Buffy just maybe #something about angel always pulling away because he's afraid of being too close v. spike always pushing close even when he maybe shouldnt #like a study in contrasts. not even necessarily evil v. good contrasts just contrasts. idk
