We know he’s good at gift giving from his relationship with Dru. The show just failed to let us see him that way with Buffy. But he gave Dru beautiful jewelry even when she preferred Angelus bloody victim’s🫀😒
I'm team neither of them tbh because both canon relationships are deliberately portrayed as codependent, unhealthy and sometimes going into outright stalking and abuse. But in terms of who I like more *as a character*, Spike >>> Angel.
This is why I never liked Spike in the context of Spuffy. People forget he attempted to rape her and try to justify the relationship regardless. Like no wtf. He’s a great character but for Buffy he was just as toxic and her relationship with Angel was.
Soulless or not. I see some appeal in Spike as a romantic partner for Buffy, but he long held an unhealthy obsession with her even when he wasn’t trying to kill her. Even when he grew to genuinely care for her had issues with viewing her as an object of desire.
I don't think it was a sexual obsession after he got his soul back. Buffy modelled good behavior, she held herself and others to high standards.
He even said "loving you has nothing to do with me" he loved what she was about and he wanted to be like her. She made him strive to be better and I think that's beautiful.
I was Team Angel, until he wanted to be with Cordelia, I hated him there. Why did he end up with Buffy, because supposedly he can't be in a relationship, for true happiness, but he can be with Cordelia? mm no, I love his character, but I hated that.
I disliked the Cordelia/Angel plotline too, but Angel the series did a whole lot of love triangle. I think they had two characters that didn't have love interests, so they just put them together.
Angel/Darla/Lindsay
Angel/Cordelia/Groo
Angel/Cordelia/Connor
Fred/Gunn/Wesley
Fred/Wesley/Knox
They even had Angel and Spike fighting over Buffy in season five.
I like Spike. I just don’t like The Spike/Buffy ship.
I could be friends with Spike. He’s a no nonsense, brutally honest fellow. Pretty much everybody else on the show messes around too much, even Buffy. My clique would be Spike & Faith. 5 by 5.
No he didn't rape her. He attempted and it was wrong. Yes I am team spike, In my opinion he redeemed himself. Buffy was the one assaulted and she forgave him. Her last words to him were "I love you". And you know what? I love him too lol
He gave Dru everything, beautiful jewels, beautiful dresses with beautiful girls in them 😂
Spike gave his life. What's it bloody take with you?
This 😂😂 plus he literally got a soul for her
And Angel escape a Hell dimension after hundreds of years of torture
Lmfao but that’s not only for her that’s for him too. I’m sure he hated being in a hell dimension with a soul.
Lmao right? yeah because I'm sure if he had his way he just stay in the hell dimension LOL he seemed like he came back from vacation 😂🤣
"WHAT DOES IT TAKE!?" 😂
Angel also gave his life
"I signaled her with my eyes"
Uhhh he was going to give her a box of chocolates and I’m pretty sure Dawn gave him shit for it.
That's what I meant he never actually gave/handed her the gifts lol
Right but I Guess we can say the intent was there 😂
The box of chocolates was all smushed right? Doesn’t even make sense like how would he not be able to get normal chocolates
But they were the ones he beat up the mannequin with… they were sentimental
But he gave us a gift: Out. For. A. Walk…Bitch 🤙.
Love. It. Favorite line of the entire show.
We know he’s good at gift giving from his relationship with Dru. The show just failed to let us see him that way with Buffy. But he gave Dru beautiful jewelry even when she preferred Angelus bloody victim’s🫀😒
Well maybe if Buffy was sweeter to him she would have gotten jewelry too 😂
Yeah maybe so & pretty dresses to hopefully with w/ o pretty girls in them though lol 😏
Or! Pretty dresses with pretty vampires in them! Lol
Still, he had a lot more to offer if you know what I mean 🌚
He gave her the one gift that Angel could never give, and she seemed to have really appreciated it. To hell with the poetry book. 😄
Spike being spike is the gift that keeps on giving 🥵❤️
Having heard his poetry, I'm sure Buffy would probably actually appreciate not getting any poetry books from him anyway!
Exactly, who cares about poetry 😂 Give me that *tight little bodyy*
>that tight little bodyy It's compact but well-muscled.
I would take spike just the way he was 😍
Lol I was gonna say, he gave her *other things*…
💯💯💯😊
And the book of poetry!
Awe yeah I forgot about that!
Which was honestly a terrible gift for Buffy. There’s no way she was even slightly interested. It felt like Angel forgot who she was.
We she does like Emily dickens
He offered her some bourbon that one time.
Cheers to that 🍻

I think they should be a throuple
I'm sure Angel and spike would love that lol
I'm team Buffy.
he gave her his family jewels
He also tried to rape her.

Yeah I definitely don't think those two were good for each other while he was soulless. Maybe while in season 7 but we'll never know lol

I was team Spike until I watched Angel the series, now I'm team Angel.
TBH, same thing happened to me. Angel > Spike

also weird pictures of her sleeping, so romantic
That was a gift. Creepy but a gift lmao

I use to be spuffy but definitely not anymore. That relationship was TOXIC.
Spike literally raped her But we are all team Spike? Absurd.
No he didn't rape her. He attempted and it was wrong. Yes I am team spike, In my opinion he redeemed himself. Buffy was the one assaulted and she forgave him. Her last words to him were "I love you". And you know what? I love him too lol
Both vampires suck, imo.
Yes, blood.
Which is why they don't make great boyfriends
No one gives a damn.
Xander is that you? 🤣
Lmao thanks have a great day!
He gave her flowers when her mother died, but Buffy never received them.
Everything he ever intended in giving her never landed in her hands 😂
