Which episode was your favorite?
Are Buffy/Spike and Buffy/Angel examples of the "I can fix him" fantasy?
The "I can fix him" meme refers to the romantic fantasy that you can change or reform a partner with toxic or even psychotic traits just by inspiring them with love.
Now, Buffy didn't try to inspire Spike to change in S6, and one could say Spike decided to "fix himself" by getting a soul. I disagree, because a soul does not actually fix someone. It is the work you do on yourself with a soul. Spike was crazy in a basement when Buffy found him, and it was her taking responsibility for and inspiring him that made him a Champion. The same could be said about her taking care of Angel when he returned from Hell feral and when she talked him out of suicide, although to a lesser extent.
How would fans have reacted?
I saw someone saying for point of comparison, S7 Dawn was S1 Buffy's age when she first got involved with Angel, and absolutely no one would have fine with her dating a two-hundred-years old, eternally 20-something vampire. Thoughts? Is it a fair comparation?
I was MYTH-TAKEN
Watching the old Spider-Man cartoon with my son and he just said this in the first episode! Made me so happy 😂 never knew it was a spider man reference!

Ghost of the Robot Civilized Man Music Video
ETA James just shared the 4K version on Ghost of the Robot's YouTube channel.
"As it says at the end of the video there are no digital effects in it, so no AI, no digital make up, no face or body swaps, no nothing. Just me with some face tightener, and a touch of make up. Hopefully that will be clear in 4k!"
Damn, I would have loved to see Spike again - a new videoclip of Civilized Man
I just saw this on Instagram, and I think it's new and it hasn't been cross posted?
Just came here to say, how can he still be this gorgeous and hot!!??? I'm still missing Spike, send help T^T
(If this is old news let me know and I'll delete it)
Buffy fanart by SunitaSan on DeviantArt/AndreaJen on Instagram
Here's a cool piece fanart by a Scooby who is currently taking commissions if anyone's interested in some high quality Buffy fanart?
Ben and Glory- new insider idea
so I’m 99% sure we are all bored of the “wait are u saying that Ben and glory are connected“ so here is my idea. we turn the tables on that joke and do the opposite. any Ben and glory meme shiuld be answeeed with “I always knew they were connected” or smth along those lines. let’s stop complaining and fight back. WHOS WITH ME??!?!??
Mr. David, we love you
This makes me smile. David B is truly such a good human in this world ❤️ and this made me smile.

How is everyone feeling about this? Because I think this is freaking awesome, and gives me some serious OMWF vibes.
Rewatching with the GF who is a first time watcher... s6e6
As the title says, I am a LONG TIME watcher, and I am introducing my gf to the show.
In s6e6, when Anya and Dawn are doing their Money Dance, Xander says, "I'm gonna marry that girl."
And Buffy says, "What? She's 15 and my sister, so don't eve- Oh."
And after knowing what I know of the comics, holy crap foreshadowing!
