Things I love about C/A and I imagine @hotelsongs agrees with me on this one - the physicality of it.Β Their relationship (platonic or otherwise) is practically based on it, since they have to touch all the time because heβs always catching her when she gets her visions.Β I mean, heβs catching her in City Of and jumping off of balconies holding her, so itβs immediately based on this sense of catching because who are these people but people who fall and get back up again.Β And itβs just so important, this contact, because Angel doesnβt have contact, not physically or emotionally or really at all, for such a long time, and when he does itβs with Buffy, but with Buffy heβs so scared to touch her.Β Heβs so worried about what that would do.Β Cordelia is an entirely different animal - her presence in his life in LA is, starting in City Of, one of contact, contact to the outside world, to humanity.Β This is explicit in-text stuff.Β And then that becomes physical contact, physical contact that is the drapery hiding the emotional contact and then, of course, the emotional contact bursts through and, ultimately, we have Angel in an alley in the pouring rain going down in battle because of a vision Cordelia gave him on contact.
And I know itβs 100% blasphemous to compare any relationship to Mulder and Scully but Iβm sorry, Iβm sticking with it.Β Sheβs his one in five billion.Β And the HANDS.Β Mulder/Scully is based off of gestures and being stuffed underground to investigate the things that go bump in the night.Β Itβs about friendships that become something else, something surprising, something that will lead Dana Scully to say, βWell, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend isβ¦ suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.βΒ
If Cordelia Chase had said the exact same thing it would make just as much sense.Β Iβm sticking with it.Β I will one day make a picspam with Mulder/Scully quotes under C/A scenes.Β Watch this space.Β Itβll be the next Kermit Bale.

Angel: If Cordelia thinks she can just bat her pretty little eyes at me and get whatever she wants⦠she is absolutely right.
So accurate !!!
ats name meanings
CORDELIA-Β possibly Celtic in origin, unknown meaning. commonly thought to be an elaboration of the Latin βcorβ, meaningΒ heart
She is...when she left... Angel Investigations Lost his heart

ANGEL THE SERIESΒ //Β 3.11Β "Birthday"
sorry to SMG but i'm actually hyped that the buffy revival/reboot got cancelled before it even aired. TV reboots rarely (if ever) improve on the original and tend to do more harm than good. i think we need to get better at letting beloved media end. revisit it like an old friend whenever you need to, sure, but don't resurrect it. like a human becoming a vampire, it won't have the soul of the thing you once loved anymore.

ANGEL & CORDELIA β Our Greatest What If
hey besties π€ today we open an old wound.
letβs talk about a love story that none of us expectedβ¦ and that somehow hurt exactly because of that.
iβm talking about Angel and Cordelia.
we all arrived in Los Angeles carrying the ghost of Buffy. we thought we already knew what Angelβs great love looked like. we thought the bar had been set, sealed, untouchable.
and then something strange happened.
Cordelia grew.
what started as comic relief, the spoiled girl, the outsider presence from another show, slowly became the emotional center of the narrative. she matured, she suffered, she stayed. she chose him, again and again, not because of destiny, but because of understanding.
and that hit differently.
because for the first time Angel wasnβt loving an ideal. he was learning how to love someone who stood next to him in the real world.
their intimacy was built in conversations, glances, trust. it was slow. adult. earned.
and maybe thatβs why we believed in it.
until the story lost control of itself.
the moment Connor arrived and the mythology started twisting Cordelia into someone else β or something else β the thread snapped. possession, confusion, pregnancy, revelationsβ¦ drama kept piling up but the emotional truth disappeared.
and you can feel it as a viewer when writers are escalating instead of evolving.
what hurts the most is that when she finally comes back to him, when they finally say it, when they finally kissβ¦
sheβs already leaving.
not a beginning. a goodbye disguised as closure.
romantic? yes. satisfying? not even close.
Angel and Cordelia became the definition of potential. of almost. of what if.
i loved them. i rooted for them. i still rewatch their scenes and feel that quiet, mature tenderness that could have been extraordinary.
but it never arrived.
itβs like waiting for the crescendo of a song that fades out instead.
and maybe thatβs the real tragedy: not that they loved each other.
but that the story never let them live inside that love.
sometimes i wonder what would have happened if they had been brave enough to give Angel something radical β humanity, a future, a family, peace. a counterpoint to Buffyβs loneliness.
it would have been unexpected. it would have been risky.
it would have been beautiful.
so tell me.
were you Cangel believers? or did your heart never leave Bangel?
letβs scream.
Cangel forever.

need /nΔd/ (verb) to require (something) because it is essential or very important.

To need someone when everything is down
i have never shipped a straight ship harder than these two actually
February 4, 2004
You're Welcome aired for ATS season 5, episode 12. This was the last appearance of Cordelia. Cordelia returns temporarily, and she and Angel kiss. This is their first real kiss, a kiss not in a dream or caused by a spell / possession. Cordelia leaves after the kiss, and becomes a higher power.
Cordelia Chase is played by Charisma Carpenter. Cordelia was in over 140 episodes of the Buffyverse. Charisma played Cordelia in BTVS S1, S2, S3, and ATS S1, S2, S3, and S4. This was her only appearance in ATS S5.
(image credit to buffyversefans)
(mod note: there was conflicting information about exactly how many episodes Cordelia was in, and i'm too tired to count it all up)
Not to be all "if my ship was endgame the show would be better" but I seriously think that ATS taking Cangel out back and shooting it in the head (and its disrespect of Cordelia in general) after season 3 makes the show, and particularly Angel's arc, worse. Angel has been alone for over 100 years, is haunted by his past relationships (Buffy and Darla), and is all tied up in the Shanshu Prophecy and his greater destiny, and I think that giving him a meaningful relationship that can keep him grounded the way that Cordelia does marks a new beginning in his life and gives him something to fight for besides atoning for his past actions and assuaging his guilt. As it is, Angel does have development as a character, but the loss of Cordelia and the Connor memory reset post-season 4 effectively undo a lot of it, and he's left in season 5 much the way he was in season 1. It's also just like... we spent so much time setting this relationship up just to throw it away. It really sucks to watch "You're Welcome" and see them be this power couple and know that this is what we could have had all through seasons 4 an 5 if this show didn't have such disdain for romance and for women in general.
okay so i'm only on literally episode 1 of angel and i'm coming to the show as someone who does NOT like angel/bangel and is only watching it for cordelia
...and i actually LIKE angel a lot more now and i think this is why:
in btvs he really only interacts with/has a meaningful relationship with one character; buffy. which is understandable (especially after he turned evil in s2) but like. he starts s1 as buffy's Tall, Dark and Handsome clichΓ© love interest and ends s3 as... not much else
in ats angel gets to interact with people who are not love interests, so he's kinda forced to have his own personality instead of just being the Broody Boyfriend. he's an awkward loser (positive) but his dry (unintentional) humor is actually entertaining now + cordelia balances out his broodiness

unmatched ship dynamic: "i've done terrible things in the past" x "all i care about is who you are in the present"
Angel: I used to be... A long time ago I hurt a lot of people. I was bad. Which is why I have to help people now. I'm trying to atone.
Rebecca: Cordelia says you've saved the world.
Cordelia: I don't care how many files you have on the horrible things he did back in the powdered-wig days. He is good now. He's my friend. And nothing you can say will make me turn on a friend.
Cordelia: He's Angel. He's good. And he helps the helpless, and now he's one of them. He's gonna have to want things from life... whether he wants to or not!
Angel: You've become a truly extraordinary woman.
Cordelia: You have the biggest and best heart of anyone I've ever known.
Angel: This isn't happening because you're bad. If anything, it's because you're strong. Stronger than you realize.
Cordelia: That was the old me, wasn't it?
Angel: I like them both.
Angel: You've seen the good and the not so good.
Cordelia: Just like you have in me. And for the record, the good I've seen far outweighs the bad.
Not only did Cordelia never care about the things Angel did when he was Angelus, even though she saw Angelus up close, and adapted to his vampiric quirks to include him, but Angel also knew Cordelia when she was just a shallow, mean version of herself and he never judged her. On the contrary, he never wanted her to change. And they both found purpose and redemption together. On the same mission, by each other's side and being necessary for each other's redemption (with Angel being Cordelia's champion and Cordelia being Angel's seer, she having visions for him to resolve).
So accurate
This was the real farewell to Cordelia here. She was with him since the beginning
