very fond of the sassy bitterness between giles and spike due to the fact that they are literally exactly who each other used to be. like. you meet a guy who acts identical to the man you're trying to distance yourself from being, like, as much as possible, and hes feeling the exact same things. the DRAMA of it all. no wonder they hated each other
I love tumblr fandom spaces bc in amongst all of the different takes (to varying degrees of believability) you'll find an analysis that feels so correct and obvious that you never even considered and it just snipes you in your blindspot
