❝ the rest of us? ❞ amalia asks archly, looking for all the world as though she disapproves of this categorisation. she does. ❝ as if vampires are a monolith, all exactly the same? ❞ this is the legendary angelus, is it? she'd wondered if she'd have to kill him, but at least she understands that kind of depraved violence. this...moping is different. ❝ you're one of us too. ❞

" pretty much, yeah. i've got seniority on this, i think. " he's been around a long time, not as long as some of the ancients, but pretty long. never met a vampire that wasn't... exactly like he was before he got his soul back. bloodsucking, soulless monsters. " not anymore. keep myself away from the backstabbing, the senseless murder. doesn't make me popular these days. " fists clench. she seems more confused than seeking a fight but he's still prepared. most of his ilk don't take the whole new leaf thing too well.

[soulpire]

one of the things that kind of resonates with me in angel, is when angel comes to the realisition that even if nothing he does will matter in the grand scheme of things, he should STILL try to help ppl anyway.

"If what we do doesn't matter, then all that matters is what we do."

so angel doesnt drink human blood, like, at all. he drinks pig blood, which he gets from the butchers, but i gotta imagine his local butcher is just thinking "wow, this guy really likes pork blood..."

[soulpire]

everytime angel drinks blood his forehead gets bigger

[soulpire]

the vampire with the biggest forehead 🧛‍♂️

[soulpire]

also for those unfamiliar with buffy vamps, theyre basically the ordinary ones in most lore which means that yes, angel will need an invitation before he can enter your house.

[soulpire]

i like how buffyverse vampires Can eat food, it just tastes like nothing to them. angel is perfectly willing to eat food if hes with friends but its like cardboard in his mouth

[soulpire]

angel just drinking his blood out of a glass always amuses me idk why

@soulpire bit the heart

"okay so, how does this work? do we have, um, a case-file cabinet or something or do people just visit and tell us their woes and then we go about fixing stuff? ooh, ooh! i can do the digitalization stuff down the line, if you'd like, i'm really good at computers. they're kind of better than humans. sometimes. not all the time. most of the time."

[soulpire]

" usually wait for cordelia to be hit with one of the visions. gives her a splitting headache, so good to be ready with a pillow. not the typical method most agencies use but we make it work. " his face suddenly looks very confused. " yeah, uh, i'm not big on computers. past my time. by a couple hundred of years. "

ive had this blog for a day or two now so... like for a starter tyty.

ANGEL & DOYLE in HERO 1X09 | ANGEL THE SERIES (1991 - 2004)

[soulpire]

we're not given any info on what Angel's real last name is. we're given the info his original name was Liam ofc, so i think im gonna do some thinking & give him an Actual last name bc its silly we never got one for him.

[soulpire]

angel is pretty old by like American vampire standards (despite not being american but hes lived there for like 100+ years so) so he's easily capable of beating most vampires there but genuinely could be easily trounced by some of the even older vampires

" what is with this town & the alien thing? you some brains splattered on the ground & you think aliens? " god, he wishes wesley was here. he was always much better at explaining this stuff. " ano-movic demons. friendly bunch, gave up all the violence & brain stuff centuries ago. " he sniffs for a few moments, " very distinct smell. you're out of your depth. "
