BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER | 5.13 “Blood Ties”

I literally can’t stop anymore. There are no breaks on this Spuffy brain train.

Spike is the only partner Buffy had that didn’t force her to shrink herself for his comfort. Who didn’t condition his commitment on her being small.

Their relationship is openly violent and destructive because the power struggle is text rather than subtext, as it was in her relationship with Angel, Riley, and even Parker.

The violent power struggle that exists openly in their relationship existed unspoken and unconscious in all of her past relationships. The undercurrent was always there, but was suppressed.

Angel and Riley enjoyed the fruits of Buffy’s power, strength, and her relationship to violence when it suited them and resented it or avoided it when it did not.

When Spike tells Buffy in Dead Things to “lay it all on me” and allows her to beat him in a bloody pulp without resisting, he is absorbing years of suppressed violence and pain that Buffy was not allowed to express freely in any of her other relationships. This same dynamic applies to her sexuality, and it is not a coincidence that these two things are interwoven in her relationship with Spike.

Spike is the only person who can bear the entirety of Buffy and not flinch.

[blush-and-books]

drusilla btvs is the best side character of all time. we know just enough about her to comprehend her motivations. but we know so little that she is still absolutely perplexing and magnificent. i don't need a whole show about her, i don't need to know all of her actions or secrets because i already know i support them all. drusilla i love you. she's a microcelebrity whose filmography i would watch just to see her in one scene

btvs + "i love you" spike & buffy | as you were

[bytedykes]

maybe i didnt come back wrong maybe i was just a weird freak when i was alive but i hid it and acted so normal and after i died i decided to stop pretending. maybe being resurrected was the perfect opportunity for me to be myself because i knew you would chalk it up to the horror of me coming back wrong. but the horror was always inside me. did u think about that
