We don’t all receive love the same way—and we definitely don’t all give it the same either.

A warm hug is a powerful gesture that can make a world of difference. 🧡

BtVS + Love Languages: Angel

"I'll give you that view you crave, darling. I'll give you everything."

"Giles didn't set this up. Angel did. This is the wrapping for the gift."

"I found it in a quaint little shopgirl."

Angel's character journey can be tracked through gifts, and the ways in which he exchanges them. After he is turned into a vampire by Darla, the two of them spend centuries killing and torturing together; exchanging gifts. He lures her away from the Master by promising her the beautiful views and fine things she's always wanted. She returns by gifting him victims to torture. Two of his most notable crimes were committed against women that Darla found and "gifted" to him - first Drusilla, and later the Romani girl that resulted in his ensouling.

In 1996, after meeting with Whistler, he devoted himself to Buffy's cause, and he gives gifts as evidence of that devotion. His gift of the cross necklace in the pilot proves himself as an ally to her. His gift of the Claddagh ring in Surprise is meant to demonstrate his love and commitment to her. He gifts jewllery - a classic romantic trope meant to highlight the romanticism of his character.

When he loses his soul again, his romanticism turns dark, and so do his gifts. He leaves drawings and flowers for Buffy, which is equal parts intentionally mockery, and also demonstrative of his undying obsession with her. His love is twisted sideways, and so his love language. With Jenny's death, we see the apex of this drive to leave sick gifts. His love is not just for Buffy, but for death itself. Jenny is left as a gift, an offering, a tribute. A monument to death.

His growing feelings for Cordelia in late S2 are shown with the repeated gifts he brings her. Unlike the highly romanticised gifts given to Buffy, his gifts to Cordelia - buying her clothes, buying her food when she is feeling down, brainstorming future holidays with her - are more based in everyday needs, representing the more mature, down-to-earth love he shares with her.

As Angel leaves Sunnydale, his world expands beyond the handful of women he has been obsessed with. He gains friends, and a family, and he demonstrates his love for him by bringing home thoughtful gifts for each of them in Heartthrob. When he becomes a father, he does all he can to give his son a good life - and he finally achieves this by giving him up, an act which can be seen as the ultimate gift. He is a man of few words and muted expressions, but he shows his love through these gifts.

Peak love language is when your partner gifts you the type of wine that's great for your heart condition.

i just saw ur tags on that gif of calum and luke and if ur still doing the "thoughts on" ask game, what're ur thoughts of each of the boys' love languages 👀

YES! Oh my goodness, fun fact I was going to write blurbs on each of the guys’ love languages but I never got around to it. But this is just my thoughts, I don’t know too much about love languages but if anyone wants to share what they think let me know!

Luke: his is definitely physical touch. Like??? There are so many examples of times where he’s been laughing at one of the guys (usually Calum) and he’ll touch him, or on stage he’ll just like put his hand on his shoulder. Also with Sierra like in most of their photos he’s laid on her, and even with petunia he just seems like he wants to cuddle always. And when Sierra rubbed his arm to comfort him from paparazzi! There’s also a gif I saw recently where Calum seemed like kinda down in and interview and Luke touched his leg and I was like😭🥺🥰 I also think he could be words of affirmation too, because we know how much he loves a compliment about how he looks. I remember he once said in an interview that he wears leather pants just so people will comment on them! This is already too long but also acts of service maybe? Since he brought up once that when Sierra paid for his dinner he loved that because no one had done that for him before 🥺

Calum: I think for Calum I’d go with quality time? He seems like the kind of guy who would just want to sit and get to know his S/O by talking about everything and not being distracted by phones etc. We know he’s quite a private guy so I feel like spending quality time with someone would be meaningful to him. I can imagine him wanting to cook dinner with someone or maybe going for walks and just feeling connected by being around them. I also think he’d be the kind of guy to do little sweet gestures for someone he loves, like make them breakfast or send them something to let them know he’s thinking of them. And maybe physical touch, since there’s a lot of photos of him kissing/hugging his friends, and Duke. Words of affirmation too maybe, because he always speaks with a purpose and I feel like whatever he would say to his S/O would be really thought-out and meaningful. I have to add gifts too, because of the care packages that he made for his friends in quarantine!

Michael: physical touch!!! Have you seen how much this man loves hugs? Whenever he meets a fan he always wants to give them hugs and will put his hand on their shoulder or something when they take a photo. And he seems like with Crystal they’re always holding hands and he like lays on her a lot in their photos lmao. And words of affirmation! I feel like he needs a lot of reassurance, whether it’s that he’s loved or that everything is okay. Like on his stream once when everyone was complimenting the shirt he was wearing and he got all ☺️ about it and said “I appreciate the compliments, you guys know how I feel about... myself” so I feel like words of affirmation mean a lot to him to boost his confidence and just remind him how loved he is!

Ashton: I think quality time/acts of service? Like we’ve seen in his Tiktoks recently, when he went vintage shopping with KayKay and then he made them tacos, maybe he likes spending time with people and doing things for them to let them know he loves them! With acts of service too, he has a lot of friends who helped him with his record and he’s very open about how much he appreciates that, so I think he loves when people help him with things. I also think words of affirmation too — i’ve noticed this more recently with Ashton, but he’s become very open with expressing how he feels towards people that he loves/respects; like everyone who worked on Superbloom with him, and how he’s open about his love with KayKay now too! Even in tweets with fans he’s always just like “love you” and I feel like he didn’t used to do that as much? So I feel like he uses words of affirmation more now than he used to, to let people know that he loves and appreciates them and what they do for him.

Let me know what you think of my opinions, and also ask me what my thoughts are on anything you like!

love languages…

blood + fire… the wild. the passionate. the visceral things that burn in your veins, that bite at your senses, that give you a pulse

sugar + flowers… the sweet. the soft. the vulnerable things that tender the walls and break your heart open

love + soul… the deep. the true. the heart. the lungs. the breathing. the wings. the free… the things you ache for… and the ones that ache back

magic + stars… the infinite. the destined. the things you feel beyond words, beyond bodies, beyond… before… after… always.
