BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER 3.02 | 6.04

Giles moves to get the sugar - stops when he hears BUFFY'S LAUGHTER ring above the other voices. Hidden from the others by a cabinet, they do not see Giles' mask fall for a moment. He fights tears, his relief is palpable. — "Dead Man's Party" script, written by Marti Noxon

Y'all this is a piece of history right here. Every single time you see a reference to a "shovel talk" in fic, defined here as "someone threatening harm to a potential romantic partner of a friend/loved one," it's referencing this scene. This scene specifically. Everywhere else that is not fannish internet, that interaction is referred to a "shotgun talk," referencing the father threatening a daughter's boyfriend with a shotgun. This scene gave a lot of people a chance to reframe that interaction in terms of a protective friend rather than a possessive father, which for a lot of obvious reasons resonated with people a whole fucking lot, and it immediately spread like wildfire into fannish and then general internet lexicon. I've seen people try and backronym it into an extension of the shotgun talk, as in, "I've got a shotgun and a shovel to bury you with," but I've asked a lot of rednecks from a lot of different necks of the woods and no one has ever encountered that variant in brickspace life. It's all Buffy, babey. This shit is linguistic history in the making.

it is wild how much buffy the vampire slayer impacted language, fandom, and internet culture. even if you've never watched buffy, i can almost guarantee that if you're online, there's something in your vocabulary that's from buffy

she was at the club. it didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that she was at the club.

vampires are so full of shit. "oh the human race is beneath us, you're just livestock to us" I don't think you know what livestock is. do you feed us? care for us? protect us from predators? no. you just slink around dark alleys and ambush people. that's not what a higher being does. that's a bottom feeder. a parasite. karate punches your head off

watching buffy for me is what i imagine reading the bible is like for hardcore christians

[lexi-thevampireslayer]

was buffy and faith’s relationship always supposed to be so sexually charged or did the directors see eliza’s insane chemistry with sarah and insane lesbian vibes and where like: hold on guys i think i might be on to something…

[starberrysap]

as a buffy fan i believe in spuffy, fuffy, and angel sitting alone in dark rooms

No matter how profoundly sad a Buffy episode is, someone will walk in on you watching a scene like this
