The secret sauce that makes Spuffy work so much better than most newer Enemies to Lovers is that that Spike is weird little freak who shows in painstaking detail the embarrassing growing pains of developing as a person. He's not some ~secret good guy~ who's just misunderstood, he was actually an evil little shit with just enough charisma to be too human to stake so the main characters let him stick around. He had to claw his way to humanity and it was that growth, and the slow development of Buffy's affections in response to it, that makes it so compelling.

YES. This is why I love enemies-to-lovers but hate "enemies to lovers" as a trope generally, because no one does it like they did it. It's only fun when they're ACTUALLY enemies and bonus fun when they're enemies because one of them is an ACTUAL bad boy (or girl).

Most stuff labeled "enemies to lovers" featuring a baddie character is actually "two people who argue the first few times they meet" and "guy who is rough around the edges but secretly very kind and goodhearted". It's just cheap and doesn't hit the same but it's also way easier so I get why it's done so often. Also fandom nowdays has a LOT of young fans who can't seem to handle like...moral and emotional complexity?

If Luigi Mangione is a terrorist, then every mass shooter in America is a terrorist. Then every single person who participated in the January 6th riots is a terrorist. Then every person who has committed a hate crime is a terrorist.

Get the fuck out of here with a crime that can be politicized only being terrorism when the victim was a wealthy, powerful white man.

The only acceptable ads should be shit like "groceries on sale" and "free event at the local library"

well well well….who wouldve known that being taught from a young age that i am evil by nature and everyone else is either also evil or constantly suppressing the desire to be evil would make me think that i am evil by nature and everyone else is either also evil or constantly suppressing the desire to be evil?
