you lost the game

spike has truly become a roman empire for me. i was just thinking about him in OMWF and guys. i don't think you understand. this evil vampire guy is the one who delivers the message of hope to our hero. excuse me how can i not think about that everyday

"first he'll kill her then i'll save her/first ill save her then i'll kill her" the lyrical bane of my existence. what's it like? where does it lead you? like is he initially saying that every night he saves her. that she's going to keep getting killed and dying and he's going to go through in his mind quicker better ways to save her endlessly tormented by what he failed to do over and over. is the next line suggesting that he's going to literally save her to genuinely kill her because what happened with that whole thing or have her or whatever he thinks kill means because he knows that when buffy is dead he'll feel nothing except deep sorrow or is he questioning if the reason why he felt that grief was because he could have saved her but failed to and his desire with wanting to kill her remains. help me helpppppp

If a musical curse made me get on my knees and tell my unrequited crush that I was her “willing slave” I would kill myself on the spot

reading a historical romance novel and reflecting on the way these stories often present woke nobility for the contemporary reader. a big thing is servants. you can’t not have servants in those times but many modern readers think “but I would never have servants. it would be so weird to have servants” and in order to make the protagonists of the story more relatable they are actually friends with the servants. but flip your perspective and think of it from the side of the servants. wouldn’t it be so awful if your boss was always trying to be friends with you. a really common thing you’ll see is the woke baronet having tea in the kitchen with the servants bc he’s not like other baronets. but what if your boss wanted to hang out and talk during your lunch break every day. not so charming when you think about it that way

Imagine your old, weird manager who kept trying to be besties with you because you were a captive audience.

Cannot get over Spike. Hes The Ultimate Edgelord except hes also the original Little Meow Meow except hes also the Sexyman except he's also the little whore except hes also the ghost that haunts the narrative and the goofy impotent ex-villain and the

i do think it’s funny when you’ve been into a thing long enough that you’ve done all the serious analysis you can do so now you’re mostly just thinking up looney tunes scenarios to put the characters in

looney tunes scenarios which are most importantly still impeccably in-character because of all the aforementioned serious analysis

So, would you say Mitch McConnell is suffering from.... Rigor Tortoise

He is undergoing... Turtle Recall

One might remark.... Reptile Dysfunction

This long wait until we can confirm he is in fact dead is... Testudining our Patience

They made Spike so That its crazy. Hes got mommy and (vampire)daddy issues and classic vampire incest rivalry and also "he is called spike because he impales people on railroad spikes" and we literally never see him do that once and also its an ironic revenge because wooden stakes and also he becomes the impotent goofy villain-friend and also he has a sexbot of the mc and also hes a whore and also he chooses a soul and also he wears a leather duster and also he destroy the sunnydale sign every time he comes to town. I love him. He was made to be loved (but not by the other characters lmao).
