Day 7 : Fav Buffy look ?
Ahh, so many choices! I love the 'Becoming Part 1' turquoise coat; I keep hoping I'll find one like it. I think Graduation Day was iconic Buffy:
In terms of hair, I always tried to get my hair cut like her season 1 or 2 styles but I really love her Season 5 look, it's just gorgeous:
Day 8: Favorite Buffy/Angel moment?
I can't decide between the scene from 'Forever', which says so much about who they are, or them in bed together from IWRY as @MarieVampSlayer posted: 'Thump thump'.../'Sleep. We'll make another one like it tomorrow' because ALL THE FEELS!! It's one of them. Just imagine I've picked one.
Day 9: Favourite Sarah quotes about Bangel
"I think there are still a lot of Buffy and Angel stories to be told." -THANK YOU SARAH! I've been saying this for years but nobody seems to be listening!

Day 9: Favourite Sarah quotes about Bangel
I love this because it says SMG has photos of her and DB playing B/A somewhere in her house so that’s nice that she keeps those around, that she went over to find the photos and take a pic of them and share them with DB for his bday. It warms my heart. Not a quote so much as an act? But it’s a nice one.
Ok breaking the rules putting up two favorite quotes. I also love what looks like a more recent video of SMG... you can skip to 2 min to hear the Bangel portion where she shares that she can’t say she prefers Angel and then when the audience fans cheer for Angel (which is weird) and she says she feels vindicated and encourages to go speak out on Bangel love:

Day 10: Favourite David quotes about Bangel
"Angel’s trying to be human again and Buffy brings that out in him (...) They had both lost their innocence so young. Buffy because she became a Slayer and Liam because he became Angelus. She was this bright light in his life, that goodness that he wanted to be a part of. She represented the hope that one day he’ll be redeemed, maybe even forgiven. Buffy loved Angel unconditionally and I don’t think he’d ever had that before."

Day 10: Favorite David quotes about Buffy/Angel?
Once again, I don't really pay attention to this kind of stuff, so I don't know any DB quotes on the subject off the top of my head, but I'm going to hop on board with @Jam. That is a more nuanced understanding of Angel as a character and Buffy/Angel as a pairing than I ever gave DB credit for, and now I feel kinda bad for how much I've dismissed him as being a big dumb jock in real life.

He has his moments.
Day 10: Favorite David quotes about Buffy/Angel
DB and I have a complicated relationship he can sometimes be a bit douchy, sometimes he dismisses Angel because all he wants to talk about is his current projects but he is generally funny and every now and then I feel like he really gets it. This quote is my favorite because it mirrors my feelings on Buffy and Cordelia.
“I really believe that Angel’s heart is with Buffy. I’ve always found the Angel-Cordelia relationship a bit strange, but it worked. There was chemistry there, but not the way it was between Angel and Buffy. I think the Angel-Cordy relationship was just a mirror to what the Angel-Buffy relationship was to him.”
That Angel projected his feelings for Buffy onto Cordy makes sense to me... but at the end of the day it all comes back to Buffy.
(And yes I know he had some pro-Cangel quotes during S3...I think it was all hands on deck to try and sell that ship but I think he got it right in the above quote).

Day 10: Favorite David quotes about Buffy/Angel
Hmm.... here's a new quote that I found on my saved articles. I love to stick it to Cangel...
[Your official verdict : What did it mean that Angel said Buffy’s name during dream sex with Cordy?]
David: I think we’ve established that his one true love is Buffy, obviously. So, when that occurred, it was a testament to his feelings. It’s not the sex that makes him happy; it’s the feeling. He can have sex, but he can’t be truly happy.

I think this one's quite good: “I felt like Angel's heart is with Buffy and always would be. I think the Angel/Cordy relationship was just a mirror to what the Angel/Buffy relationship was to him! It worked, but it wasn't where his heart was.”
Day 10: Favorite David quotes about Buffy/Angel
This has to be my favourite exchange:
Sarah: [r.e. filming love scene in 'Innocence'] we are sliding off each other like slip and slides."
David: "That’s not how I remember it."
Sarah: "Well how do you remember it?"
David: "Slip and slide yes, there was also the candle wax, riding crops, I think she called me daddy a few times… Just too hot for TV."
LOL!😀

Day 10: Favorite David quotes about Buffy/Angel
This is more a David/Sarah thing but I really like it:
"Buffy knew what Angel was, but she still loved him. Then the transition came, and it was hard for her, and also for me, to adjust. To help Sarah with the transition, after each scene I made a point to confirm to her that, 'I'm here for you. I'm not here against you. This is not who I am.' "

And when you see the sword fighting scene in the post above from SMG's Insta where they are smiling at each other I think this is an example of that :)

Day 11 : Fav Bangel sex scene ?
The Amends scene of course! It was so erotic. I love the close ups of Angel's hands, Buffy and Angel's lips moving, the slow removal of clothing... It's very hot.

Day 11: Favorite Buffy/Angel sex scene?
Story time! The sex scene in "Amends" might be both the reason I didn't really start watching the show until my mid teens even though my introduction to it came years earlier AND the reason I kept watching when I finally found it again. My family did not have cable when I was a kid, but when that episode first aired, we were on holiday at a condo that did. I was eight. I was watching TV with my dad, and somehow we ended up watching that (no idea what Mom and my little brothers were doing at the time). The only memories I have of watching that episode then are:
1) being way more convinced than I ever have been since by Angelus's vampire makeup in the flashbacks and entranced by both versions of the character (in a very wide-eyed eight-year-old way),
2) my dad saying something like "If Buffy is a Vampire Slayer, then what happens if she gets turned into a vampire?" (he has no memory of saying this but I'm 100% sure he did), and
3) that Dad abruptly turned it off before it was over. It wasn't until years later that I was able to figure out which episode that was, but Dad definitely turned it off because he didn't want his eight-year-old seeing that sex scene.
So that one's kind of my favorite Buffy/Angel sex scene just because of my wacky personal history with it.
If you want the rest of the story, here it is. While I did consume every horror short story my school library had to offer in my tweens, I didn't start watching Buffy again until I was fifteen and had a summer job babysitting for a family that had cable, and Buffy reruns just happened to play at the same time as the kids took their naps. I watched many episodes wildly out of order all summer. We got TiVo around then and I discovered Angel. I thought it was a really weird coincidence that this show also had a vampire named Angel who was played by the same actor. 🙄 Yeah, it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize this was in fact the same Angel from BtVS and that it was a spinoff series, because I had never heard of such a thing. I do have documented email evidence that Angel was my first fictional crush, so at least there's that.
Anyway, I was hooked. I couldn't get the episodes fast enough because streaming wasn't a thing yet, so I went online and read the transcripts of the episodes I couldn't watch (which resulted in a very bizarre issue when I later did watch those episodes, because my imagination has a much higher special effects budget than a late '90s/early '00s show, as well as different directorial preferences).
As obsessed as I had become, I was mortified by the thought of anyone finding out I liked this show. Then there was a Smallville Halloween episode that was one Buffy reference after another, with a particularly good one by James Marsters' character, and I couldn't take it anymore. So I told my best friend, expecting her to think I was dumb for liking a show called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she shocked me by saying she loved the show too. That moment was like the greatest epiphany of my life. It was okay to like this nerdy show. It still took me a long time before I was able to say the title without cringing a little (there's no getting around that it's fairly silly-sounding), but I no longer felt like it had to be this big dark secret.
Basically, the Buffyverse is what helped me realize that it's okay to be nerdy and that I don't have to apologize for liking what I like, and it will always have a special place in my heart for that, no matter what other shows come along. But maybe if Dad hadn't turned off "Amends" halfway through for reasons I didn't realize at the time, I wouldn't have been intrigued enough when I found the show again at fifteen to give it a shot.

You are not the first person who has said they started watching the show while baby sitting which is a funny coincidence.

Yeah I don't pay much attention to shipper quotes in general. I've read them all at some point in the past but had to Google them for this thread. I did however notice that DB actually does/did have a very good understanding of his character. I think it gets buried and forgotten because of his stubborn 'focus on the present' approach and his sports enthusiasm.
