BtVS S12 - Ship Spoilers
Spuffy may be a thing now or in the future; ❤
Bangel is officially dead - Angellyria will survive time and separation. 😊
Finally I can breathe ... and my spuffy heart can keep beating, metaphorically speaking
@gite63 thanks immensely for the spoiler, of course I still have to read the issue but I had a crazy anxiety ... among other things I have not slept (it's almost 10 am in Italy) I hoped for the best but I expected the worst to be prepared and not delude myself .. it's better than what I expected
Here we have Buffy and Spike potentially breaking up in Issue #28 of Season 10 in the top image. Spike is in dark red and Buffy in a light blue. They aren’t looking at each other, Buffy is closed off with her arms folded, and Spike emoting with his hands as he talks - reaching out at and touching nothing. Both are frowning and they are standing far apart from each other - there is no body contact at all. On the bottom, we have the image of Buffy and Spike staying together and being emotionally closer (Buffy just told Spike, “I love you too.”). This time the colors are switched - Buffy is in dark red and Spike is in blue (a darker shade of blue than Buffy wore in the top image). Their colors are more in-sync. They are seated right next to each other, in chairs that are outside (in a open and public space, as opposed to the indoor setting of the potential break up scene).
This time around, Buffy’s body language isn’t closed off at all - it is very open (her hand on Spike’s chest, her body turned to him, a smile on her face, and etc.) Spike isn’t saying anything in this scene, he is silent, but his smile does the talking and his hand is reaching out and touching Buffy’s cheek and chin. Given the situations being presented in each image, Buffy and Spike’s facial features and reactions are fitting and expected, however, the swamp in clothing color between the two of them really ties these two scenes together. Spike wearing blue doesn’t happen very often. Usually when he is wearing blue, Spike is being “not himself” in some way:
In Season 4, when he messes up the laundry we have him donning a pair of blue jeans. This is to help show us just how out of his element Spike is living in Xander’s basement and being “de-fanged.” In Season 5, Crush we have Spike wearing a very light blue button up shirt. He is wearing it to try and imitate Riley and try to make himself more appealing to Buffy. In Season 7, Spike wears a too tight blue long sleeve shirt. An outfit that Spike deliberately says in the church scene was nothing more than a costume. Something to help him cope and a costume of what he thought he needed to look like now. The last time we see him wear blue on Buffy is in Get It Done. He is wearing a blue button up shirt, very similar in color to the blue shirt he is wearing in the bottom image. He wore it in an episode that started with him locking away his violent-warrior side (refusing to attack and/or kill the demon that attacked him and Anya). He stops wearing it after he goes to retrieve his duster and re-associates himself with the violent and warrior-like aspect of his nature and character.
But, by Season 11 Spike is far more comfortable with himself and who he is (I would say still not as completely as Buffy, but he is getting there). He doesn’t need to “pretend” to be anyone or anything anymore. He is more accepting and at agreements with the soul and the demon within him, so he doesn’t need to hide any part of himself away anymore. He also no longer needs to try and sway or appeal to Buffy like in Season 5. This time the blue is all him and it shows how much Buffy and Spike have grown together as a couple.
In Season 10, Buffy and Spike are still very much so two separate people in a relationship. When issues come about in this season, both Buffy and Spike approach them individually, and this often leads to them being a bit at odds with each other and needing to talk things out. Buffy acknowledges that they are going to have issues and problems, but that she is okay with working through all that, and Spike states that he wants to be with the ‘real’ Buffy.
Season 10, Issue #30 then shows Buffy and Spike wearing white and black outfits. The outfits are not identical matches, but they match well enough to each other. They are shown being on the same wavelength and in Season 11 this continues. The issues in Season 10 were all very internal in nature, so Buffy and Spike had to do a lot of wrestling and arguing and healing within themselves first and foremost. By the end of Season 10 that is no longer an issue. Instead we see Season 11 focus on external issues for them, and they approach those problems and issues as a couple and a unit. They are both still individuals, so they tend to disagree here and there on things, but the lines of communication are always kept open and they tackle the issues together. By the end of Season 11, we see Buffy fully accepting and comfortable in her role as The Slayer and Spike is starting to accept, be comfortable with, and blend the souled and demonic aspects going on inside of him more and more as the seasons pass. In Season 10, when they nearly broke up, they were both still very invested in the “I” in their relationship, rather than the “we” or “us.” This is reflected in their outfits, facial expressions, and body language. By the end of Season 11, they have taken bits and pieces - aspects of each other - and have blended those parts into themselves. We see this through the switch in their clothing colors and even in their overall demeanor: Spike has less of a hard edge to him, something which was already fading over the years, but which he often tried to keep alive through his dark clothing preferences but which he does far less now in the comics - often wearing white shirts instead of black. Meanwhile Buffy has her unintentional, punk-ish hairdo.
So the transformation of Buffy and Spike as two people in a relationship to an actual couples unit is really illustrated quite simply and easily in these two images above.

The major issue that I have with the Bangel Vs Spuffy arguments is that people are forever comparing Souled Angel with Soulless Spike which to be frank, is ridiculous To be fair, from the image we get of Newly Souled Angel in Becoming, he actually seems very similar to Newly Souled Spike (remorseful to the extreeeme) and for all we know Spike may have gone back to his killing ways (or something akin to that) in time, but we don’t get to see that far ahead like we do with Angel What we can do is compare them both as humans (Angel being a man who used his time to get drunk and have his way with women; Spike being a poet who is devoted to his mother and the woman he loves) and as soulless vampires (Angel, taking pleasure in torturing and driving his victims to madness, no interest in humanity aside from his victims/blood; Spike, taking pleasure from the fight, hunting down Slayers and killing them, devoted to the woman he loves, interested in power, appreciates humanity and partakes in it) from what we’re shown in the brief glimpses throughout the series. I’d just like the fandom to take into account the actual evidence we’re given instead of devolving into petty arguments about whose ship is better tbh
For me personally, I think it’s more fair to compare angel or spike’s relationship with Buffy. Because that’s what a ship is all about. And while I understand that human spike and human angel are very different people, as well as soulless spike and soulless angel, I think the way they treat Buffy says a lot. For example, Buffy and Angel had a pretty healthy relationship despite their problems. In contrast, Buffy and spike had a very unhealthy relationship. Taking into account that each relationship happened in different parts of Buffy’s life, I still believe angel was much better to Buffy in general. And while I do respect the notion of taking into account the various personalities/actions of both men, I think it’s most important to consider the way they were with/around Buffy.
I think it’s actually really important to compare them as people first because I think that Buffy’s relationship with Angel had a long-lasting effect on how she approached relationships throughout the series, including her relationship with Spike. I didn’t make this post to argue about which ship is better, tbh I just want people to consider all aspects of what could effect their relationships.
Personally I don’t think either relationship was healthy at all.
Angel so clearly had power over Buffy, and he used that. By not telling her anything about who he was unless forced to, he allowed himself to lose his soul and basically destroy Buffy’s life in the process. Then he does so again by leaving, which he actually does a lot, popping in every now and again to make sure she’s still on his hook and then disappearing once more. He knows from the very start that their relationship can’t work, and yet he won’t tell her why, instead deciding over and over again to keep her under his thumb. She’s so young, and naive when it comes to relationships and I definitely think he uses that against her. Very similar to Soulless Angel, he’s obsessive about having this control over her, because if he loved her, why did he let her find out in such a despicable way? Their relationship was one lie after another, which isn’t healthy at all.
Spike on the other hand, is very upfront about who he is and his intentions for Buffy {killing her, insulting her, etc}. This doesn’t change as he develops feelings for her. In fact, he becomes even more straightforward, especially in regards to his past. He unflinchingly tells Buffy in great detail about how exactly he killed the previous Slayers. She is under no illusions about who Spike is. This of course, leads to the toxic power play of season 6, where to be honest, I think they were on more equal footing than people would like to admit,at least until Buffy ends the tryst, eventually leading to Spike attempting to rape her. Spike, now Souled, expects nothing of Buffy because he acknowledges the disgusting severity of what he tried to do to her. But once again, Buffy, having no illusions about Spike, makes the choice to trust him again.
I really do believe that Angel took advantage of Buffy’s ignorance, and even though I’ll never ever say that Spike and Buffy had a healthy relationship either, I do think that Buffy always knew where she stood with Spike.
Wouldn’t you have to compare Souless Angelus/Buffy vs. Souless Spike/Buffy and Souled Angel/Buffy vs. Souled Spike/Buffy to get an accurate comparison based on the mythos of the shows?
While Souless Spike/Buffy was clearly abusive and unhealthy on both sides, I don’t think it ever approached the murder/mayhem level of Souless Angelus/Buffy.
And the power imbalance and creepy statutory rape vibes given by Souled Angel/Buffy seems far worse than the mutual support of Souled Spike/Buffy.
You’d think that, wouldn’t you? I mean, the first post in this thread says something similar to that, and the second post blithely goes right back to comparing souled Angel and soulless Spike.
Bless you @hcconn and @rahirah for understanding my ramblings haha
So tired of the same arguments, we’ve rehashed Souled Angel/Buffy Vs. Soulless Spike/Buffy only a million times already. By all means, continue to vilify Spike for his actions if you like, but don’t pretend that Angel/Angelus is anywhere near innocent when we’re literally shown time and again that he isn’t.
Heh. I’ve been around for awhile, so I’ve seen every possible variation of this argument at least six(teen) times before. Personally, I don’t think there’s any point in playing “my vampire’s better than your vampire” – I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone read any of these arguments and suddenly decide that they’ve seen the light and changed their opinion. Both Angel and Spike have done terrible things and heroic things, and which one you like better is really just personal preference, no matter how much people on either side try to dress it up in social justice buzzwords.
That said, Spike is totally better than Angel. :D

I’m so still pissed off , about The Nerdist post, about the their comments (the Nerdist) on fb and about the sick bangels , hypocritical people to the bones, about soulless or soulful speech, that only use to justify their Angel and every time they use the argument: attempted rape, not only because they have no other arguments, but also to accuse the spuffies to condone or even encourage the rape, and from my point of view is even more sickening thing because I am been raped
i am sorry for what happened to you and completely agree, i have had it happen to me to so when they say they we condone it seems more harsh.
the difference is angel fully stalked and manipulated his situation where spike had a form of abuse with his since the beginning so he never knew till it was to late it was wrong, but instead of pouting about it and using her like angel did. spike the man went out of his way to almost die to be better.
i have watched buffy for a long time first i was a angel fan when things were easier but spuffy has saved my life in my darkest moments because they characters spike and buffy forged their way past their abuses and demons.
spuffy will be there to help me see as a woman if a man is willing to face my demons with me he is a keeper like every woman truly needs.
Thanks , really , also for tell me your experience, and that which is disgusting, among other things, is that they use a serious argument as an excuse to go against something which they understood nothing, looking for something real in a world that is fiction where there are other dynamics that is useless that I explain to you what I mean because I'm sure that you know it considering that you are acquaintance of matter . I would like to say many things and argue better everytime that I read those things and also with you but I have a serious problem of language, it's very difficult for me to express myself , I need a long time to write long and articulated speeches.
Anyway, I take advantage of the situation to write (I tried to write it in a message for you yesterday but maybe I did get trouble, not knowing if it was sent or not) I love your blog, everything you write and replies and all your posts
Please continue to give voice to those who, like me, has difficulties to express themselves due to language problems.
Thanks :)
I have to stop reading posts, articles or other where the Bangels are in there , and if sometimes I can be the one that goes to looking for some things (really a few) , many times .. I happen to find myself in the right place but at the wrong time and that is when the item or post in question is not "hot off the press", and so there are various comments. And when I think that those people have reached the lowest level of the evolutionary ladder , talking to the norm , those subjects always amaze me giving me the prove of how much a soul can be rotten, as being lucky to have a brain ( supplied from birth , by the way ) it is thrown in the toilet because used as the last of the optionals and often not even that way. PEOPLE HYPOCRITICAL, PETTY , IGNORANT AND BAD ... REALLY BAD and if they can throw up what they vomit for things like that .. GOD PROTECT WHO NEAR TO THEM IN THEIR LIFE OUTSIDE THE WEB.

Buffy & Spike journey.
Made for Seasonal Spuffy on Livejournal :)
♥ ♥ ♥
its great that angel whether soul or soulless is always instantly forgiven for his sins, while the others are constantly bashed with their sins. He goes after buffy’s mom, tortures giles, and the scooby gang as well as his own. He with a soul abuses buffy and then without rapes innocent victims and then has them go after buffy herself although we didn’t see it that was the difference and he created drusilla by destroying her completely and abused spike with and without his soul on some level using family to justify it. its ok that he pouts because he obviously means not to create others pain right? if you think i’m not being sarcastic well i know why people love angel denial is always key when it comes angel
my point is i just don’t understand it looks only go so far and then personality sets in you would think it would change guess not the mission is his only reason for doing good after stalking buffy as a young girl and then did he only decide to be good which should be more than that but living in the twilight world it makes sense i’m not bashing twilight but that is what it’s mostly about.
WAKE UP PEOPLE
some people are in a perpetual sleep, hopeless and live in a world of their own where they are in an eternal delirium in total denial of the facts where the double standard is the ONLY rule because it is the only thing to which they can cling to justify certain things, transforming the white in black and vice versa, by bending reality to their liking depending on their priorities ..
all of them are eternal hypocrites
