There’s a lot wrong with Spuffy, but it’s also so good😭

2023-11-15 00:03:08 +0000 UTCI love this episode, the only thing that doesn’t work for me it’s the scene in the bronze with willow and Amy which goes on way too long, everything else I adore. Buffy and spike relationship is fascinating, they are so horrible to each other, clearly it’s toxic, pointing out the obvious, but seeing it portrayed like this, by two characters I care about, being so abusive and toxic to each other, it’s so raw but so interesting, and I do want them to be together, just not like that. It just gives me so many conflicting emotions, and that’s the brilliance of the show I think. But still, it’s pretty realistic from the character pov and where they’re at right now in the show, it makes sense that this would be the way they relate to one another. First of all, spike has no conscience, so we really shouldn’t be expecting any less, and buffy after everything she’s been through, she is taking it out on him because he allows her to do it. At the end of the day, even though she’s the one who keeps rejecting him and he’s the one pursuing her, she’s also the one who seeks him out and initiates things, like when they kissed in the musical episode or in this instance, or, as we’re left to assume, last episode.
