I’m rewatching some of the seasons after many many years and wondering about little tiny details. One thing I was wondering who might have sired Jesse. I know it’s not stated, but curious what everyone’s thoughts are
At some point in the early 2000s, I started collecting every Buffy news print or magazine article I could find. A lot from my local newspaper and tv guide. I put it all in an old vhs cover and have kept it with me all these years (and through 10 moves). There’s some stickers and an old Buffy Valentine’s Day card kit too. A very nostalgic remnant of my childhood. Buffy was one of the few escapes I had from a chaotic childhood and this brings me joy.
In the season 6 finale episode Graves, when Giles returns and he and Buffy are talking in the training room and Buffy refers to her being brought back to life, Buffy says someone would've taken her place. But the thing is, no new slayer will be called until Faith dies, so unless Faith suddenly moved past her issues and was ready to take that spot...who does Buffy think would have? The scoobies tried their best but even with robot Buffy, they could only hold things at bay for a few short months.
Saw this on one of the FB groups I'm in:
Buffy fans - we need your help.🩸
Microsoft has reopened its Xbox backwards compatibility/game preservation voting program, and both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Chaos Bleeds are currently on the list.
Right now:
🗡️ Buffy the Vampire Slayer - 531 votes
🩸 Chaos Bleeds - 373 votes
The top games have over 9,000 votes, so we’ve got a long way to go - but if enough fans show support, Microsoft can justify bringing these games back to modern platforms like Xbox Series X/S and PC.
These games have been trapped on old hardware for over 20 years and absolutely deserve preservation.
Even if you’re not a gamer but love the Buffyverse, please:

✔️ Vote for both games

Let’s show them the Buffy fandom is still alive. ⚔️

“I made a promise to a lady.”
A line from the show most fans assume is about Buffy. Spike, willing to put it all on the line to protect Buffy’s sister, Dawn.
The reason, many argue, is that Spike, without a soul, is absolutely obsessed with Buffy and will guard her sister because of her.
I disagree with this statement.
Let’s start with this line. I argue that Spike never meant Buffy in that moment. He was referring to another Summers. Joyce.
Joyce, the fulcrum of the show, the moral baseline, the bastion of nurturing energy on the show.
For Spike, Joyce saw the man behind the monster. As others saw the evil demon with a handsome face, Joyce saw a man in pain. A man who needed someone to talk to, and she reached out, with cocoa and marshmallows.
In that moment, as she shared a moment with him, inviting him in, Spike could have seized the opportunity. Strike back against the Slayer in her most vulnerable way, her mother.
But he didn’t. In that moment, he didn’t need to feed or gain revenge or lever a win against the Slayer. He needed to talk about his breaking heart, his love for Drusilla, and a kind voice.
Joyce did more than just listen. She healed a long standing wound deep in Spike’s soul. Not just his love for Drusilla, which was toxic and lopsided and full of blood, but a far deeper wound. His own mother, whom he turned to save, came back wrong and used the love he had for her as a weapon, until he had to stake her himself.
And in the Summers kitchen, Spike found what true maternal love is. It listens. It feeds. It doesn’t judge. It offers heartfelt advice. It’s soft and it’s pure and it asks for nothing in return.
And it knows the sacred time slot when Passions is on.
And Spike, despite the demon that drove him to evil acts, still had another voice. A man who wanted love.
That love extended to “little bit.” Spike didn’t see Dawn as just the brat sister of Buffy. She was, to Spike and to Buffy both, the very innocence Buffy never got to have. A childhood of friends, funny teachers, pizza and boys. Where the greatest pain was a boy who didn’t ask her out.
Spike was protecting Dawn out of respect to Joyce. Even when Joyce passed he didn’t ignore it, nor did he try to draw Buffy to him with a loud display of grief. He bought her flowers. Silently. Delicately. Just for Joyce. With no agenda or want outside of honoring a woman who saw him as a man, not a monster.
Spike made mistakes. Huge ones. Monstrous ones. But choosing to stand there in that moment, being the last line of defense for Dawn, he made a promise.
He kept it.
this is something that i’m constantly debating! obviously one of the final scenes of the whole series is buffy saying that she loves spike, but spike disagrees. arguably, he’s the most perceptive character in the show so i would personally trust his judgment, especially because he knows buffy so deeply, again arguably more than any other character. the thing is that, at least by the end of season 7 (e.g. the scene where spike’s ‘holding’ her and then the speech in the kitchen that follows) i feel a deep and mutual love, yet spike denies it?
Im looking for fanfics (hopefully spuffy) that are buffy centered and focus in her leaving after season 3 episode 2. Does anyone have any recommendations? Especially ao3 ones. I know this Fandom is dying out but like pls 😔🙏
I've watched Buffy every year since it aired and I'm always so mad about it. Ill be in the nursing home in ranting and raving about it, I am sure.
EDIT: Not that she died. Characters are allowed to die. The way her death is so brushed over and so quick is what i really think did her dirty.
Who are some characters you think of when you think of cast members who are in the same seasons together but rarely interact in any way
Tara and Riley come to mind
Hey everyone! I’m finally sharing a project I’ve been grinding on for weeks: my Sims collection from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe! 🧛♀️✨
I really went all out on this one—I even made a brand-new clothing mesh and included 22 different outfits (each with four skin tones). You’ve got the main girl Buffy, our favorite witch Willow, and the total badass Faith. I also gave each of them three different hairstyles so you can pick whichever vibe you like best.
Even if you’re not a huge fan of the show (I’m actually just watching it for the first time right now and I'm totally hooked!), it’s still more Sims and fresh gear for your game. I’ve poured so much love and time into this because I wanted to deliver something top-tier.
Hope you guys love it! Don’t be shy with the screenshots—I’d love to see the chaos you get up to with them! Enjoy!
