I also have (and have had for a long time) a whole fuckton of soapbox thoughts about Spike with zero memories and no soul continuing to want to be good, even after he realizes he's a vampire. Someday I will undoubtedly put these thoughts into fic form.Not today. But SOMEDAY. #BTVSRewatch
My absolute favorite thing about Tabula Rasa is Giles and Spike thinking they are father and son. It's HILARIOUS. #BTVSRewatch
my feels my poor feels i am never ready for this moment no matter how many times I watch this ep :') #BTVSRewatch
YEEEESSSSSSSS the #BTVSRewatch reaches peak
It is not physically possible to watch this episode without singing along. #BTVSRewatch
Do I go into Once More With Feeling right now this very second? Or save it?
...yeah okay like i have that kind of willpower for my favorite episode.
#BTVSRewatch
"Bell. Neck. Look into it."
"Come with a nice leather collar, does it?"
My brain is currently envisioning things it did not envision when I watched this as a teenager. π

KITTEN POKER I FORGOT ABOUT KITTEN POKER #BTVSRewatch
With the power of hindsight (and now being a grownup myself) I kinda see Giles' point here. Like. Yeah, Buffy is dealing with a fuckton right now, but just...taking off? Just assuming he'll fix everything, clean up her house, take care of Dawn, while she runs off to her ex?
Yeaaahhh... #BTVSRewatch
My obsession with this version of Spike and Buffy is boundless as the sea. I know it goes rather downhill rather quickly but MY GOD, I love how he's just...there for her now, wanting to make her life just a little bit better. The joy he gets in making her smile. π₯² #BTVSRewatch
Giles having literally the only appropriate reaction to what Willow did sure is something. #BTVSRewatch
Oh. These three morons. You know, somehow with everything I actively think about in regards to this season, these three asswipes always get lost in the shuffle. Which is weird, given how the season ends. #BTVSRewatch
Willow + Tara have been staying in her house. Yet couldn't be bothered to get jobs to pay bills while Buffy was dead? Even though they were meant to be taking care of Dawn at the same time??? And they do not even bother to start paying rent after.
Buffy has deeply shit friends. #BTVSRewatch
Spike being the ONLY one she willingly confides in πππ #BTVSRewatch
"I want you to know that I did save you. Not when it counted, of course. But after that. Every night after that."
SPIKE
#BTVSRewatch
"147 days yesterday. 148 today. Except today doesn't count, does it?"
He holds her hands so gently, speaks to her so softly. I CAN'T.

#BTVSRewatch
The way Spike and Buffy look at each other when he sees her alive again... MY GOD MY FEELINGS. ALL OF MY FEELINGS. #BTVSRewatch
Buffy's "best friends" are such goddamn idiots. #BTVSRewatch
Buffy being forced to claw her way out of her grave just like the monsters she was born to hunt. GAH. #BTVSRewatch
Have begin my foray into Season 6.I alternate between loving and hating this season. Also alternate between loving and hating every single character this season. #BTVSRewatch
"The hardest thing in this world is to live in it." #BTVSRewatch
Oh fuck I forgot about The Giles Moment in this episode. #BTVSRewatch
He's such a GOOD in the episode and he tries SO HARD and it kills me, it BRUTALLY KILLS ME, that he fails the way he does. "I made a promise to a lady." Oh god. Poor Spike. #BTVSRewatch
"I know you'll never love me. I know I'm just a monster. But you treat me like a man, and that's..."
SPIKE πππ
#BTVSRewatch
Spike's face when Buffy invites him back in I CAAAAAAN'T πππ #BTVSRewatch
Anya, love, don't do it, don't say yes, he is not worth it. π #BTVSRewatch
Diving into The Gift, which is a great episode to go to sleep to, yeah, definitely, not gonna have any regrets about this for sure. #BTVSRewatch
We have essentially reached the point of the series where Buffy is never allowed to be happy for more than half a second again and I'm not going to lie, I'm having a hard time preparing myself for it. #BTVSRewatch
