GILES: (exasperated) What?! Well that's marvelous, isn't it? (turns away in a fit) Here I am, spent weeks trying, uh, to get a single scrap of information about our mysterious demon collectors and no one bothers to tell me that Buffy's dating one of them?! (faces them) Who else knows?!
XANDER: No one. No one else knows this. (pauses) Anya, and that's it!
WILLOW: (sheepishly) And Spike.
GILES: Spike?! Spike knew?
XANDER: Only the basic stuff. You know, that Riley is a commando and Professor Walsh is in charge.
GILES: (furious) Professor Walsh!?

BUFFY: (talking to Angel) Don't talk to me like that! *You* may be ready to go, but *I* am not ready to lose you. Okay, this is my fight, and if you won't do it my way, then you're...
She is interrupted by Xander clearing his throat. She turns to face him.
XANDER: (grins) Hey. I've got this, um... There's this, uh... (grins sheepishly)
Buffy and Angel look at him expectantly. Xander sees the sadness in their faces and the tear streaks on Buffy's cheeks.
XANDER: (awkwardly) It's probably a bad time.

Wesley: These are all the diaries, then? Yours included?
Giles: That's everything. Knock yourself out. Please?
Wesley: Oh, yes! Here's your first entry. 'Slayer is willful and insolent.' That would be our girl, wouldn't it?
Giles: Well, you have to get to know her.
Wesley: Mm. 'Her abuse of the English language is such that I understand only every other sentence.' Oh, this is going to make fascinating reading.
Giles: She should be back by now.
Wesley: Not to fret. (reaches for a mint) My mission scenario has her back in one minute. Shouldn't be any trouble.

ppl acting like buffy ended the series single like she’s being an independent woman will never stop being funny to me by messedupdoilies
over time i’ve let people convince me otherwise, but i rewatched a little angel season 5 last night and i’ve come to the conclusion that spike was absolutely acting out of character by xaeyrnofnbe
the line delivery in angelus and spike’s first meeting. the way he says “…with another man” specifically by xaeyrnofnbe
god i love anya. i know shes a demon and that’s her explanation for how she is, but in my head she is neurodivergent by lostxspectre
i rlly love this scene [7x20 "Touched"] cuz he’s the one who’s comforting her, watching her sleep. he’s happy but also terrified by professeurm
[Sequel] when I saw who they picked for the new star of the series, my mind instantly noted how she looks like she could be related to Buffy and Dawn by lilyginnyblackv2
Ik some people ship Faith and Buffy but honestly they give too much “straight girl in a homoerotic relationship with her lesbian friend.” by xxthegreenwitchxxteveo
the crushing but casual cruelty of the way Angel tosses out a “love you too” is so well done in Innocence by femmedefandom
fun detail I didn’t notice before. Willow’s first ever magic spell she does, in season two, is a dark spell performed on a Hellmouth by femmedefandom
buffy starting season 6 being so miserable and getting out all alone by herself from her own grave and ending it feeling the fire again by elverrie
If Buffy (the vampire slayer) was smart she would have gotten a job at the undertakers and glued wooden stakes to the lid of every coffin by bluntshavingrazor
How is Giles staying in the States if he has no job? How does he afford his apartment? by discipleofkleio
so we all agree that Drusilla was a potential slayer when she was human, right? by trashdiscourse
can somebody with the knowledge explain to me like what`s the difference between anya and spike. love them both, but i just honestly do not get it by elverrie
the real angst of the mortal/immortal Spuffy is that Buffy knows that she will go to heaven when she dies but they don’t know about Spike by kpchrs
fun lore is that we see 4 slayers die by a vampire on screen [...] Spike is the only vampire we see killing a slayer without any mind tricks, pure fighting skill alone by femmedefandom
[Multiple reblog comments about 2x22 "Becoming pt.2"] by femmedefandom
thinking about butch trans spike and her string* of femme girlfriends by tenderjock
I don’t think Joyce handled the Slayer reveal well at all, that’s pretty clear. However, I do think that Buffy waited much too long to tell her by femmedefandom
[ask by maybehappylittlerobot] Biggest in-universe supporter of the ship? Spuffy (please let it be Dawn) answered by takaraphoenix

Angel: (nods) Um, am I gonna see you this weekend? You, uh, you-you probably have plans.
Buffy: Right, birthday. Um, actually, I, I do have a thing.
Angel: Oh, a thing. (trying to be cool) A date?
Buffy: (nods) Nice attempt at casual. Actually, I do have a date. (steps closer) Older man. Very handsome. He likes it when I call him 'Daddy'.
Angel: (smiles) Huh, your father. (frowns) It is your father, right?

JOYCE: (through the phone) Hi, Buffy. You still working out?
BUFFY: Uh, no, Mom, actually...
JOYCE: I was hoping that we could schedule a college talk later tonight. I admit I... overreacted before. You don't have to go all the way across the country. I, um, picked up some brochures from some nearby schools, okay?
BUFFY: That's great, but now's really not a good time...
SPIKE: (through the phone) Hello, Joyce.
