smg surely has some buffyverse takes which I have a beef with, but she was so right and clever when put her foot down while styling buffybot and not letting them dress her slutty as whdon wanted (apparently physically abusing costume designer in a process??)

cause yeah, she got it so right. buffybot storyline doesn't work if she's outrageously sexy. she's loves silly puns, she enjoys fighting, she patrols on her own initiative, she loves buffy's friends, she loves buffy. she has all the quirky qualities that can categorize real buffy as rather cute next-door-girl or overly-independent action heroine and prevent her from being viewed by bros as bluntly hot. she styled as if dressed by someone who has a loose grip on modern women's fashion, but watched buffy enough to pick up the basic personal style formula. buffybot wasn't meant to appeal to male gaze. she's meant to appeal to spike. and spike's gaze is just buffy.

I fully understand this isn’t everyone, but love the sect of m/m shippers who don’t want to be inserted into the relationship at all. dont want to fuck them, don’t want x/reader. this isn’t about me it’s about my boys being in situations and then fucking about it. I’m barely a fly on the wall im not even here.

In one timeline we kiss but the stars don’t come down. In another you set a world on fire for me but I perish in the flames. Somewhere there’s a final space where your hand on my face is the punchy climax to an epic saga, where the way our mouths meet takes the breath right out of people’s throats. One universe has us right, of all the millions stacked on millions. So it’s not this one. I can live with that.

assigning Scully to the X-files was the funniest thing the US government ever did because imagine you send this logical, rule-following scientist to spy on the Basement Weirdo but instead they fall in love and soul-bond so intensely that it’s actually a legitimate threat to national security. all the super-important super-evil government conspiracies are at risk because you (the US government) accidentally pulled the best matchmaking job in history and now they’re so in love and oh shit they’re breaking into another top-secret facility, they’re discovering evidence of another war crime, they’re gazing longingly into each other’s eyes next to a crashed ufo and it’s all your fucking fault
