Buffy and Spike are effulgent love

After posting my meta,  Season 7: the Breakdown of Buffy Summers, I've been having thoughts about Buffy and Spike's relationship in the context of Buffy's character journey.

This is, like, the perfect Spuffy manifesto. I love it. <3

ICON. When I think back to the soulquest and how Spike wants to give Buffy what she deserves--she deserves love, she deserves to be whole.

Thank you - truly wonderful words.

I love how you use the GIF to sjow these links.

They are a special couple.

Spike takes the time to let Buffy be who she wants to be, while slowly breaking down the walls that she has built up around her heart. Spike's death, although heart-breaking shows their true connection ... that look they exchange in the midst of everything ... true.

Thanks!

Yes, that moment, it's so beautiful.

DON'T MAKE ME GET SAPPY.

Without a soul, Spike is a creature who cannot fully reflect light into a mirror. With his soul (and the amulet), he reflects the sun.

YES. Guh. Such beautiful imagery.

My ship. The narrative perfection of my ship.

PREACH. ♥ ♥ ♥♥

I love them and I'm happy to preach it, girl. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
