Friend that I'm forcing to watch BTVS with me: Are there any canon ships on this show that won't break my heart in a million pieces?

Me: *thinking hard* Nope... not really.

Him: How do you ship then? If none of the characters you love get to be happy?

Me: Let me introduce you to the concept of Hate Shipping. It's how I cope. You find one character you truly hate, and then you just ship all the people they love most with the person it would make them saddest/angriest to see that character with. So for example: I hate Angel. So my three main ships are Spike and Buffy, obviously, and on ATS, Cordelia and Gru, and Darla and Lindsey.

Him: Okay, I think I get it... so let's say I hate Xander... that means I'm a Cordelia and Angel shipper now, right?

Me: Yeah, that's it! Boy, I can't wait to introduce you to the magic that is AnyaxSpike in the later seasons - you're gonna love watching Xander hate it!

Bonus:

Sara: *yelling from the kitchen* I hate Spike... so I just ship Angel with everyone... except for Spike... him I ship with Xander!

(Had to include it cause of her implication that not only is the character Spike loves most in this scenario Spike, but the person that would make him the saddest to end up with is Xander).

#buffy the vampire slayer #red rambles #also - this is kinda a lie in the sense that im actually a very genuine Willow and Oz shipper #but i get actively mad at writers and actors alike when i think how that ship ended so we dont talk about it #i literally would have rather watched oz die or willow leave him because she was gay than the bullshit we got... but whatever
