Spuffy Realizations: Seasons 2-4
A huge reason that I love Buffy and Spike together so much is that nearly every episode has one or both of them realizing something that draws them closer to having a relationship with each other. I noticed while making this that Spike had the most revelations that he's falling for Buffy in Seasons 2-4, and Buffy starts noticing things in Seasons 5-7.
02/03- Spike realizes that Buffy’s different from any other Slayer.
02/06- Spike realizes that Buffy looks really good as a brunette.
02/07- Buffy realizes that she’ll let Spike eat her betrayer, as a treat.
02/10- Spike realizes that Buffy is the gnat in his ear, the gristle in his teeth, the bloody thorn in his bloody side.
02/11- Spike and Buffy realize they’d rather be fighting each other.
02/14- Spike realizes that the only way to kill Buffy is to love her.
02/17- Spike realizes that going after Buffy’s friends only results in a brassed-off Slayer, not a weakened Slayer.
02/21- Spike realizes he can’t wait to tell his friends (Buffy) that he has a big rock. See this post by @disco-tea
02/22- Spike realizes that he’d like to partner up with Buffy to take down Angel. Buffy realizes that the enemy of her enemy is your friend is all she’s got.
03/08- Buffy and Spike realize they have fun fighting side by side. See this post by @l0veisntbrains
04/03- Spike realizes he’s inexplicably attracted to blondes now.
04/07- Spike realizes that he holds Buffy in extremely high regard.
04/08- Spike realizes that Buffy is a person he can turn to when he’s in need (again).
04/09- Spike realizes that marrying Buffy will make him the happiest man on Earth. Buffy realizes that maybe they fought because they couldn’t admit how they really felt about each other. See this post by @raisedbythetv89
04/10- Buffy realizes it’s nearly impossible to have a loving and honest romantic relationship with a normal guy.
04/11- Buffy realizes she would like a partner who can hold his own in a fight and support her.
04/12- Spike realizes he would have liked a proper sendoff from Buffy.
04/13- Buffy realizes that she really enjoys having sex right after fighting.
04/14- Spike realizes that Buffy has tragic taste in men which definitely doesn’t peak his interest.
04/15- Spike realizes that he has no interest in any Slayer that isn’t Buffy.
04/16- Spike realizes that he really likes Buffy getting in his personal space and describing what she could do to him.
04/17- Spike realizes that he would really like some alone time with Betty to face her one-on-one. Buffy realizes she doesn’t like Spike treating her like she’s not a threat.
04/18- Spike realizes he cares about Buffy’s wellbeing enough that he considers helping to rescue her (for a few seconds).
04/19- Buffy realizes she has a nuanced view of good and evil, and she doesn’t like people who see in black and white.
04/20- Spike realizes he doesn’t have a valid reason anymore for not killing Buffy. See this post.
04/21- Spike realizes he doesn’t want to get staked by Buffy or leave town because he’s in love with her just because, so he better make things right with her in the only way she’ll consider valid: saving her friends.

BTVS opinion : 4x09
I still can't believe that after Oz is gone and Willow is in pain, all of her friends couldn't see how she was faking being alright. The only one able to see she was in so much pain was Spike !
He's supposed to be an evil creature without feelings. Yet, he's the only person noticing her real pain. I mean, William was always good with emotions. He was a poet, and even when he became an vampire, he still was like all softy and all that. Then, you know, he became Spike and was just all sex and killing and blood. But, he always was in touch with his feelings. He was able to love deeply. In a twisted obsessive way, but still. As he said himself "I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
Comparing to Angelus, who without a soul doesn't care about these kinds of feelings like love, pain. Spike on the other hand, even without a soul, he always was about feelings. Love, jealousy, pain ?
So, him noticing Willow's pain when he is not supposed to be close with her, says something....
🤜🩸💀🩸🤛

Rewatching buffy season 4 and remembering how much I love Xander.
That's my favorite traumatized baby with low self-esteem and an inability to see a successful future for himself trapped in a house with his vaguely abusive family as he let's life happen to him again and again.
Like! He's literally Buffy's heart! He is sad and scared and filled with so much love!
And time and time again he either deals with something in an unhealthy way or he doesn't deal with it at all because he's trying to figure out how to be an adult when no one has ever shown him how! And his mom makes him fruit roll ups and refuses to give him even a semblance of privacy and his dad is notably absent and he finally gets to spend quality time with Giles, but Giles is going through his own identity crisis and can't help him at all.
Anyway, this is a Xander appreciation post.

BTVS : season 4 episode 12
"And you're what ? Shocked and disappointed ? I'm evil !"
I sometimes think about that quote, and it makes me smile. 😌🍃

The Mayor's little video message for Faith is something.
"Our noble campaign to bring order to the town of Sunnydale has failed."
"I wish I could make the world a better place for you to wake up in."
As a giant demon snake?! How would he have done all that as a snake?? If those were his goals, he'd have had better luck staying in the position he was in!
Also, this episode made me realise how much I miss his character.
Bring back the Mayor, and the high school, and the library.
