Communication is key

spike’s changing perception of love and his actions surrounding how to show it is such an interesting concept…

as a human, spike, or william, was never shown love in a true way. he loved his mother, and he took care of her. he showed love to a girl in his town, and he was made fun of and shut down. he was a bit pathetic (and i don’t mean this as an insult, it’s just one of the only words to describe what i’m trying to convey). when he becomes a vampire, he turns his mother in an act of love to cure her sickness (as another post has mentioned before), but she becomes cruel, and in another act of love, he kills her. he ultimately ends the life of the one person he cared about completely as a human.

then there is the power dynamic between drusilla and spike, as i think there always is between the sire and the sired. she knows more about the world and changes him to be like her. despite her mental state, she has the upper hand about what they are and how they should act. that isn’t to say that they don’t truly love each other; it just presents another obstacle.

i am a spuffy shipper all the way, but I do love dru and spike’s relationship as well. however, it is built on obsession and violence. spike’s birth as a vampire is due to his death as a human by dru’s hands (or fangs lol). they do grand acts of violence for each other. they are aggressive and passionate with one another. they love each other (this can be seen not just through their actions but through the episode with the judge when he says he can sense love and jealousy in both dru and spike). but this love is not built on things that we associate love with. it is built on violence, sex, passion, but also a strong sense of loyalty.

when spike realizes he loves buffy, he is taking his own perception of love that he has developed throughout his life. from what we’ve seen, he does not have experience as a human, so most of his definition is being taken from his time as a vampire. we see this deep caring he has for buffy, but he has no way to convey it properly. he kidnaps her and threatens to kill dru to prove his devotion to her, by killing the person he loved first.

however, he sees the fault in his ways. he’s fiercely loyal to her by the fifth season. he’s willing to sacrifice himself for dawn; he’s willing to put his life on the line in a way he hasn’t for anyone before. he counts the days buffy is dead and continues to fight with her friends. he helps her fight her way out of her depression.

he tells her that she belongs in the darkness with him because he truly thinks that. what friend was really trying to help her after they resurrected her? do i agree with him? no, but also what image of healthy love does he have to look back on? none.

(i do not take into account the actions of “seeing red”. in all honesty, i act like they didn’t happen because of the reasons behind it being petty and cruel *cough cough joss* and sending james to therapy etc etc etc, just a disclaimer)

so spike gradually learns how to love. properly. he gets his soul back to prove he can be the type of man she could love. to be worthy. and that is something so beautiful. he didn’t force buffy to show him how to love. he did it himself. for her. he learned how to love with and without his soul. he made the decision to get his soul back when he still didn’t have one.

his character is so interesting to me because he is a goofy guy but he’s also deep and deeply flawed. i have a lot of thoughts obviously but this explains some.

Enneagram 7 Subtypes Explained

Social 7 "Sacrifice"

Similar to SO6 the SO7 craves happiness through the formation and progression of social circles. The social 7 finds true enjoyment in life through the understanding of community and friendships. Social 7s can have a wide or a small desire for this type of enjoyment. Some so7 will have small circles who they keep close in order to find enjoyment. While some others will have a general overview of people and the need to share their enjoyment of life with them. Whether it is by improving their social and emotional well being or just being a good friend to others. And IMO they are the most extroverted of the types in the enneagram. This subtype can look like a 9 (but more assertive and focus on immediate enjoyment)

Characters: Jayce tallis, Ashoka Tano, Tony Stark, Elena, Mabel Pines, Aang, Buffy Summers and Spongebob.

Self Preservation 7 "Family"

Unlike the So7 the Sp7 is all about self enjoyment and indulgence. This subtype is described as the most gluttonous of the type 7. This is usually due to their constant need to feel pleasure and avoid distaste or discomfort in life. These 7s have a 3ish look to them to their obsession with easy fast results, assertiveness and luxury. However, a clear distinction to take into consideration is the root of the desire of luxury. The Sp7 looks at luxury as something they simply enjoy. Luxury permits the SP7 to have a broad taste for the things that brings them joy. While the 3s desire for luxury is more about symbolism and promotion of the self.

Characters: Satoru Gojo, Flynn Ryder, Gabrielle Sollis, Agatha Harkness, Wallace Wells, Deadpool, Jessica Riley and Fleabag

Sexual 7 "Fascination"

To the SX7 the idealization of romance comes from the rush of happiness and excitement from falling in love. This subtype in specific focuses on the millions of possibilities there are to live in a romantic relationship. For them finding this partner and understanding the possibilities and the different factions of their personality comes first. To SX7 the enjoyment of love and inter personality comes first and foremost. This subtype tends to look like a SX8 due to their assertive approach to romance or a SX9 due to their desire for connection with another.

Characters: Utena Tenjou, Carrie Bradhshaw, Stiles Stilnski, Lucy Gray Baird, Scott Pilgrim, Beast Boy, Ariel and Roger the alien.
