All Ships' Viewpoints

You know what's kind of interesting? I don't go all crazy for certain ships' on every show I watch. I do for Buffy (and Angel) more than any other though. I mean, Game of Thrones might be the single best show I've ever seen, but I was thinking about this thread and I don't think there's a single ship' on that show that I'm pulling for. It just isn't nearly as big or important to me as the ships' are on Buffy. I mean, there are characters there I connect to and really like, but it isn't the same as Buffy.

The only other show I can honestly say that I go crazy on 'ships is Charmed. Can't really explain it, it's strange isn't it?
 
Ship(s) I Support:

Sprusilla: I love these two together. Their twisted romance was absolutely captivating. They connected very well with one another and shared amazing chemistry. Without question, they were the most entertaining couple on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Not only that, but they were both awesome as individuals, and putting them together made them even better 🙂

Ship(s) I Tolerate:

Dangel(us): Not bad. I was not exactly rooting for them, but their dark, complex relationship was interesting.

Tillow: I thought they were cute. They shared a sweet connection with one another and complemented each other well. The conflicts and challenges they faced in their relationship also made their story quite interesting (aside from Willow's Magic = Drugs storyline >_>). However, I am not a Willow fan, so I cannot say I am exactly a Tillow shipper.

Briley: They were decent together. Unlike the majority, I felt Riley was an interesting character with an engaging story arc. In the end, I think he was the healthiest choice for Buffy romantically and generally enjoyed their interaction with one another. Sure, their relationship had flaws, but so did practically every other one from both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. However, in a vein similar to Tillow, I dislike Buffy, so I cannot call myself a supporter of it. I also could never see them lasting longer than they did due to the problems they faced in their romance.

Jenny/Giles: They were a sweet couple that ended in bitter tragedy, though because I am not a huge fan of either of them (not to say I dislike them, since I do like them both), I am not exactly fanatical about their romance.

Meh:

Bangel: While I enjoyed the Angelus storyline, these two were generally very sappy and bland together. A lot of the time, they made me want to go to sleep.

Xanya: Some of this has to do with the fact that I detest Anya, but more to the point, I just do not feel the connection between them. Xander seemed to only fall for Anya because she was just there while Anya became so immersed in their relationship that she nearly lost her sense of self through it. When it comes down to it, they did not have much bonding them together, so it makes sense to me that their relationship came apart. However, I felt having Xander leaving her at the altar was taking it too far.

Cander: Their interaction was humorous. However, I did not think they were compatible at all and there was far too much hostility in their relationship. Personally, I think they would have worked better as snarky friends rather than have a romance between them.

Woz: Outside of this relationship's two rounds of infidelity, they were sugary sweet to the point of being kind of dull. I just felt they lacked an interesting story, as well as a spark and edge to keep me entertained. I am also not a really big fan of Oz (though I do not dislike him) and much prefer Tara as a character. That alone leaves me more inclined to prefer Tillow over Woz.

Ship(s) I Hate:

Spuffy: I cannot think of another pairing I have loathed more in my life. Their interaction was either very annoying or boring, not to mention both characters (Spike especially) were ruined through it. It also involved retconning to make it appear as though it was planned from the start when it was not, which is plain sloppy writing. Furthermore, I found Spike's abuse towards Buffy highly disturbing (not to say Buffy was completely innocent, since she did abuse him as well, but Spike did not have to crawl begging for more), as well as how everything he did to her was swept under the rug just because he got a soul for her.

Cangel: I like Angel and Cordy as friends, but lovers? Just no. Romantically, they have no chemistry, and the execution of their relationship was very forced and awkward. Not only that, but this ship destroyed Cordy's character by making her into a Mary-Sue.
 
I support the Spuffy ship, but that in no way means or in any way implies, other that a (large) amount of good natured kidding, that I actually have any problem with the fact, repeat, FACT, that Buffy loves Angel. In fact, I would strongly object to anyone saying that Buffy never actually loved him. Angel was Buffy's first great love, and, without a first love, there can never be a second great love, or a third, or a fiftieth. Buffy didn't suddenly lose the capacity to meet and fall in love with someone new just because of her feelings for Angel. Because she truly loved him, it becomes easier for her to meet and fall in love with someone else. Love grows and evolves. Certainly, no one will ever replace Angel in Buffy's heart, but that in no way means that she can't love someone else, just as sincerely and intently, but in a totally different way. That's human nature, and Buffy is, within the limits of being a totally fictional character, completely human.
 
Im so Pro Willow and Tara its not even funny. They had the best relationship on the show
Though you will never see me do the combine name thing

In writeing I never expolored a relationship that did not happen in show. I would like to try it.
But If it dint happen in show most likely you wont see it in my writeing.

I liked all the relationships on the show Spikes and Buffys was dark and dangerous but Spike did care and one scene proves it. Its the scene with Buffy just finding out about her mom and Spike shows up with a shotgun. But after seening Buffy like that the devastation. He knew right then and there he never wanted her to look like that again. Its a great scene,

Angel had his moment with Buffy but thats all it could have been that pesky clause in his soul contract.

Xander and Willow moment was needed very much so thses two knew each other for a very long times its understandable there would be an attraction. and only after both where in very steady relationships of there own. Its a chance to see what could of been they should have never been cought. Or there others more understanding.
