A Blog That is Henceforth Mine

i fully get that spuffys don’t vibe with spike getting his soul back because the soul lore is just so damn irritating and it reflects the show’s very juvinile and boring black and white morality but i’m sorry i love that shit so much that’s peakkkkk romance to me. spike loved buffy so much he killed himself/the worst parts of himself for her. and then he actively hid this information from her cause he didn’t want her to feel like she owed him anything and he just wanted to be there for her in any way she needed. buffy’s first relationship seeded the belief that loving her and being loved by her changes that person for the worst and every following relationship reinforced that belief. now she’s face to face with in the flesh proof that she doesn’t ruin people, that someone’s love for her would motivate them to change for the better in a way that no one even considered possible. many have said this but no one is doing it like spuffy.
