I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

was thinking abt it last night but i find it so devestating that in the gift i believe giles and buffy are arguing because he's like you can't seriously be considering sacrificing the world for 1 person and buffy's like i dont fucking care if dawn dies im done forever i dont care fuck the world and then when buffy dies giles is the one who is done forever. obviously he doesnt have a slayer anymore to watch but he also couldn't handle losing his ward and he left.

the sexiest thing a man can be is only an extension of someone else. the sexiest thing a woman can be is angry. this is true

Buffy the Vampire Slayer 06.13 Dead Things

[impalementation]

so i just finished rhonda wilcox's essay on hush, and she comments that - much like angel the episode predicts what will happen to buffy and angel - hush predicts that riley will go on to rip buffy's heart out by becoming part of a patriarchal institution (wilcox does a lot of work establishing what the gentlemen represent and focuses on the moment in buffy's dream where riley turns into one of them). (1/2)

(2/2) so my question for you is do you see that any one episode cleanly predicts the path spike and buffy eventually go down together? and if there isn’t, how does that deviation from the pattern affect the reading of the spuffy dynamic, if it does at all?

hmm, really interesting question. sorry it took me a while to answer! the thing about the spike/buffy dynamic is that we know a lot of it wasn’t planned out. i don’t have links to interviews at the tip of my fingers, but it’s something i’ve seen mentioned multiple times. that they didn’t know that spike would fall in love with buffy until starting season five, but that it was like they’d been writing to it all along. which means that we’d need to look to season five to find a thesis statement episode for the relationship. in which case, as obvious as it might sound, i think the episode we’re looking for is fool for love.

Keep reading

oh someone told me something useful yesterday. she said she’s been thinking about her tbr less as an overwhelming list of books she Must Read and more like she’s cultivating a wine cellar. making a rich collection that will provide the perfect thing when needed. a bottle will get uncorked when the time is right
