Buffy and Spike in First Date with the caption from @galacticidiots: I don’t know much at all but one thing I have learned, one thing I know for a fact and that I will never doubt, is that to love someone is to wish them well. No matter what. You wish them well, you wish them cared for, you wish them happy. With or without you.

Season 7 Spuffy is so special because of this exactly. He doesn't make his feelings Buffy's responsibility; he just wants her to be happy, whatever that looks like for her. 🥹

Spike in "Weight of the World" asking the important questions: "Is everyone here very stoned?"

Happy 4/20, y'all

Buffy and Spike side by side in S7. Buffy saying, "He's with me.:

She said what she said, dammit.

Spuffy cuddling in S7; Spuffy cuddling in the same pose in S10 comics after spending the night together.

So married they have their sides of the bed.

Buffy and Angel in the cemetery

25 years ago, fresh off his attempt to bang out his soul, Angel showed up to make sure Buffy was still on his hook.

And yes, naturally, Buffy asked him to stay forever. And naturally, he bailed.

Because Chloé Zhao was right. The thing about Angel is he's a runner. He runs.

(Yes, she did say this)

Spike casually showing off the goods (though fully dressed) with a cartoon of someone screaming, "My bulge is 90% balls"

He does have big ones.

Take that however you will. You'll be right.

Thanks to EF's HappyWhenItRains for this combo.

Buffy walking in on Faith flirting with Spike

23 years ago, Buffy walked in on a familiar scene: Faith cozying up to the most important man in Buffy's life. She was Not. Amused.

Fortunately for Buffy, Spike is one she doesn't have to worry about. Even Faith knows Buffy's got him whipped.

Happy 23 years of Dirty Girls!

series of shots from Potential in which Buffy is trying not to look at Spike and continuously fails. Caption by @galacticidiots "There are two ways to tell if someone is in love with the person in their line of sight: when they can’t look away, and when they can’t bear to look their way."

Buffy can't stop looking at him. Even when she tries.

Spuffy in Season 6; on the balcony and being caught by Tara in the bday episode

The claims that S6 is OOC are frustrating.

Actual living people act OOC all the time. And there's always a reason. When a friend or loved one does something that seems off, you ask why. If they trust you, you learn the why.

Buffy's why was massive. Ignoring that does her a huge a disservice.

Spike looking knocked out with the caption from @777jorgeivan Told my girl to fight her demons and that's all I remember before I was knocked out

It's like third base for him, though.

Illyria saying she wants to keep Spike as her pet; Spike looking skeptical

It's National Pet Day in the States and we think Illyria had the right idea when she suggested keeping Spike as her pet.

Though somewhere, you just know Buffy is hanging up "Missing" signs.

Spuffy being freakishly intimate with each other in Superstar

The fact they did this out in the open with an audience will never not boggle my mind.

Buffy in that moment: Riley who?

Buffy on her knees next to an incapacitated Spike

"Help, my vampire has fallen and can't get up!" - Buffy, probably

Spike chained up in the Summers' basement. Caption by @milagarro: you're in his dms, he's in my basement hungry as fuck and wondering what day it is

Buffy also monitors the DMs.

Might be some Lannister vibes 🤔

Do I have a VCR? No.

Did I smash the BUY button? Yes.

If Red Planet Video ever does a Spuffy sequel that includes Beneath You, Showtime, and Touched, I'll consider this the definitive Spuffy collection.

Spike and Buffy making porn faces in Dead Things

The things they got away with depicting...

Buffy jumping off the Tower in The Gift; Spike burning up in Chosen

Buffy clawing her way to freedom in Bargaining P2; Spike resurrected in Just Rewards

Today, we celebrate those who give their lives to save the world only to somehow, inexplicably, live again.

Spike and Buffy in Superstar

Spike caressing Buffy's hair in Superstar

Buffy staring at Spike as he caresses her cheek in Superstar

The heat in this one exchange could power the entirety east coast for a month.

Next episode would zap it out, though (Where the Wild Things Are, beloathed)

Happy 26 years of SUPERSTAR!

Spike going down on the Buffybot

This is your friendly reminder that Spike loves 😺

How much?

Enough to go down on a robot.

If he could live off 😺, he'd never need blood again.

Cover image for current features. March 30-April 12 Theme: Xander

Xander is a polarizing character, and for good reason. But he was an integral part of the show, and while his growth might have been a flat line in what we saw on screen, fanworks give creators the opportunity to make that line a little less flat.

Banners made by previous Mod team that feature the OTP of Angel/Riley for Elysian Fields

Considering a rebrand. A few years ago, the Mods proposed this to mixed results. But that was pre-COVID. Now? Now I think the world is ready.

What do you guys think of the love that dare not speak its name?

Tired: Spuffy
Wired: Rangel

two panel; Spike and Buffy being antagonistic with each other. Caption: when the ship's love language is words of affirmation (talking shit to each other)

They know exactly what buttons to push.

Spike in the 70s in the rain

Spike doing a Gene Kelley around a lamppost in the rain

Spike capturing a stake launched at him in the rain

Can't believe we came this close to a Spike "Singing in the Rain" number.

I mean, he was already dancing.

Post by @sylviacomedy that shows Spike, one promo shot and one mostly naked in Gone. Caption: A guillotine couldn’t stop the head I would give this man. King Arthur himself couldn’t pull him out of me Bonus: @evelynwardbooks comment: It's an actual crime that this post doesn't have more likes

Post of all time.

"Buffy" and Spike glaring at each other

"Count on it."

Standing in a room meme Me: rewatching School Hard as Spuffy meet with the observation: they have no idea they're gonna be in love in 6 years

The fact that they didn't know but their story is still so perfectly telegraphed is what makes them the E2L blueprint.

Meme made by EF's ElectricHeart and shared with permission.

I know! 😭😭😭

Spike making WTF face

Thankfully, it doesn't happen very much anymore, but still, MRW someone slides into my mentions to shame Spuffy fans for their shipping preferences (bonus points if they do it while also stanning Riley).

Like I said, doesn't happen much anymore, but I did get to block someone this week!

Punk Spike from the 70s

Spike siring his mom

Buffy looking at her pet vampire

Buffy realizing Giles has been stalling her

23 years ago, we learned that while Spike did do the standard "kill his family after being sired" thing, he did it for a very specific and good (if not misguided) reason.

Buffy also learned that Giles wants her to make her own decisions so long as they're the decisions he wants her to make.
