God, this hurts. Michelle, you will always be a part of our family, one worth sacrificing the world to protect. We love you. #michelletrachtenberg #dawnsummers #buffy #buffythevampireslayer #btvs

23 years ago, Buffy acknowledged Spike's humanity in the saddest way and confirmed that she felt something for him, which was why she couldn't keep using him.

I know I shared this iconic Spuffy romance cover image not that long ago, but it's the 22nd anniversary of this episode, so I'm sharing it again. I trust we'll all persevere.

25 years ago, a soulless Angel lurked outside of Buffy's house just for the chance to catch a glimpse of her pain so he could relish in having caused it.

Spike: Is that a lighter in your pocket or are you DTF? Answer: Yes. #spuffy

You will never be able to convince me these two weren't going to angry!kiss at some point in this episode, with or without a spell. They both would've been horrified, but all that tension had to go somewhere. #spuffy

"You always hurt the one you love," Buffy says to explain how someone could hurt someone else, knowingly quoting Spike, who told her this after she hurt him. Probably means nothing.

Angel (about Spike): He's worse. Once he starts something he doesn't stop until everything in his path is dead. Spike:

In this house, we stan Vampire Buffy. She is fierce, gorgeous, and underutilized. Also, Spike's would be: 🤯 🥵 😍

Spike antis point out that Spike didn't return the duster to Wood as a sign of contrition, skipping the context of why he started wearing it again. Buffy said she needed the Spike that was dangerous to help her win the fight Personal vendetta or world saveage? I know what Buffy would choose.

The hubs contacted one of my favorite people in the world, EF's amazing HappyWhenItRains, to commission Spuffy art for me for Valentine's Day. This was the result. Even though I was sick with COVID, husband & HWIR helped make this the Best Valentine's Ever.

"Knew I could get a grin." #spuffy #spuffyforlife #spuffyforever #spuffylove #spuffyisendgame

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, enjoy the most romantic moment of the series, bar none. A declaration of pure, selfless love. It makes no demands, asks nothing in return. It's just love through and through.

24 years ago, Spike tried a thing. It didn't work. And Buffy was so freaked out by the fact that Spike has feelings for her that, for the first time since she let him into her house a whole three years prior, she rescinds her invite. To a neutered vampire who cannot possibly hurt her or her family.

Also 23 years ago, Buffy confirmed that, given the choice of hanging out with her friends, her date, or her vampire, she will seek out her vampire first.

23 years ago, Spike attended Buffy's 21st birthday party and they proceeded to have a whole hell of a lot of conversations with their eyes. Plus there was a cramp in his...pants.

22 years ago -- - Spike told Buffy not to consider his feelings and focus on her own happiness - Buffy continued her S7 tradition of telling him "I love you" without using the words. - Spike OFFERED to leave (did not announce or threaten) and then STAYED when Buffy said STAY, unlike others

It's Spike. #spuffy

Obsessed with this design. Buy stuff with it here: hauntedfembot.com/products/spu...

Also 25 years ago, Buffy made a dramatic entrance and the camera lingered on Spike giving her a look that screams "this woman is my enemy" and nothing else at all, nuh uh, look away, nothing to see here.

25 years ago, Buffy looked directly into the eye of the camera and told her enemy she would soon understand exactly what a slayer was. Too bad Maggie didn't live long enough to learn that lesson.

Them. #spuffy #spuffyforlife #spuffyforever #spuffylove #spuffyisendgame

24 years ago: - Spike brings Buffy a birthday present but got stuck babysitting instead - Spike was again there for a personal Summers revelation - Buffy lashed out at Spike (foreshadowing much?) - Spike comforted her when she admitted he was right - Buffy declared Dawn is a Summers.

There are a lot of takeaways from Dead Things, which turns 23 today, but the one I love the most is this: at her core, Buffy wants Spike in her actual bed with her like an actual boyfriend, and so much of her S6 struggle is reconciling that want with what she believes is right.

....or GTFO That's all I'll say about the reboot. 😘

If you end up in a Groundhog Day-like loop today, may it end over drinks shared with a vampire who adores you.

Spike is 100% like this post series. Image credit to @loveisntbrains.bsky.social, modified off a piece in the comments. Shared with permission.

He was supposed to be killed off by Angel to establish evil Angel as the ultimate bad-ass for taking out another bad-ass, and instead, how he went on to become so intimately woven into the fabric of the show that he surpassed Angel in popularity and legacy. There will never be another like Spike.

When you're trying to be menacing and she can't stop laughing at you.

212 years ago, Pride & Prejudice was published, establishing the blueprint of the perfect man: one who, when confronted with his faults and shortcomings, will look inside himself, give up everything for love, and make changes without expecting anything in return. Yeah, I said what I said.

They are ELECTRIC

The world moved on and I am still here.

Dark Horse takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works. Confirming that the Anansi Boys comic series and collected volume have been cancelled.

When you smile, you knock me out, I fall apart. And I thought I was so smart.

Will never not be mad that Buffy and her best boyfriend of the series didn't get a couple's promo shoot, but getting a Harlequin romance novel cover is a nice consolation prize.

People really underestimate the level of intimacy required to be alone "with" someone. It implies such trust and comfort. That they gave us this and then tried to tell us we were wrong to respond to it the way we did is bonkers.

OB-SE-SS-ED with this

"Sevice me." Oh Spike, you are such a whore. (positive) (affectionate)

Antici................................

22 years ago, Potential aired and confirmed: - Straddling Spike is still Buffy's favorite thing - Hands are sexy - Buffy and Spike can have whole conversations without saying a word - Buffy found Spike's crypt comfy This episode is Buffy making moon eyes at Spike.
