These are fantastic. I suppose “Party in my eye socket, and everyone’s invited!” is just too long for a house motto, isn’t it?

welcome-to-sunnydale:

You’re not friends. You’ll never be friends. You’ll be in love ‘til it kills you both. You’ll fight, and you’ll shag, and you’ll hate each other ‘til it makes you quiver, but you’ll never be friends.

“The thing about the dance is, you never get to stop. Every day you wake up, it’s the same bloody question that haunts you: is today the day I die? Death is on your heels, baby, and sooner or later it’s gonna catch you. And part of you wants it… not only to stop the fear and uncertainty, but because you’re just a little bit in love with it. Death is your art. You make it with your hands, day after day. That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know: what’s it like? Where does it lead you? And now, you see, that’s the secret. Not the punch you didn’t throw or the kicks you didn’t land. Every Slayer… has a death wish. Even you. The only reason you’ve lasted as long as you have is you’ve got ties to the world… Your mum, your brat kid sister, the Scoobies. They all tie you here, but you’re just putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, you’re gonna want it. And the second… the second that happens… You know I’ll be there. I’ll slip in… Have myself a real good day. Here endeth the lesson.”

#ugh this scene #this scene was so evocative to me for so many reasons #spike’s character at its very core is one of contradiction #of ”i hurt the girl” vs ”death is your art” #of william the poet and william the bloody #and when he tells this story to buffy we glimpse that so briefly but so powerfully #this fight is his pride; his power; he relies on his ability to kill to feel strong; to feel worthy #yet he wants buffy so badly to see him as man rather than monster #he wants her to fear him and hates that she does #whether it’s his absolutely horrifying actions in ”seeing red” or the little everyday acts of violence that make her seethe #he needs the fear #and still he does everything he can to win her trust; does so much ”for her. to be hers.” #spike puts so much stake (pun not intended) on his ability to kill slayers and yet loving a slayer is the only thing that can make him whole #his pride and his hopes for redemption are exactly at odds and it makes him the most fragile and the strongest man buffy ever loved
