Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer 5.14, Crush

+ bonus

Sorry but Spike’s Crush outfit will never not be funny to me. Like that’s his Normal Guy outfit. He’s such an ordinary and datable guy. See? Nothing strange or uncanny about him AT ALL. Look at how normal is. But thing is it’s just the exact same configuration at his usual clothes but blasted with a Joe Normal beam 🤣

It’s a newer black leather jacket but NOT a battle-worn duster. It’s a light grey t-shirt instead of a black one. You know what’s so normal and civilian?? TAN KAKIS instead of black jeans. And to top it off we’ve got an earth toned button down instead of a blood red or black one. He was wearing a blue one earlier in the episode.

Because good totally normal not undead guys wear blue right? That’s totally a thing. That’s such a normal thing to do. He’s literally trying so hard to be as passably and presentably ordinary as possible but also he’s still dressing exactly the same sksksk.

And then 5.15 wheels back around with “btw here’s this random guy who had a non-human girlfriend who loved him more than anything but because she wasn’t human he didn’t treat her like a person and never once considered her feelings and he thought that was fine because she’s not human! Do you see how sad and messed up this is! This has nothing to do with any of the other characters at all!”

And there’s stuff like this in the script skdks
