Thanks so much my dear! I am glad you found it interesting, and I thank you for the challenge, you made some great ideas over there.
About what you say of no having a soul would be equivalent to being color blind in the moral arena... I rather think this is not the case with the vampires we know better. They are aware of the nature of evil. Some relish on it, such as Angelus, they know perfectly well they are doing wrong and that is what they wanted and chose. Angel said as much in Damange. He was in for the evil. It was an art for him. I just wonder if the newest vampires we see Buffy kill day after day have such judgement, though. They seem much more instinctual, even if capable of intelligence.
Your idea is interesting, and maybe you are right, Buffy needed to accept her Animus and her shadow too. They are the same thing. Her dark side, her desire incarnate in Spike, everything that is forbidden. The last season was one of completeness and maturity for Buffy. Wished the series had ended there and no bloody comic S8 had come our ways.
