Bangel Continued

[Eleftheria]

I know it has been said before by Kean, but I will say it again! I would like to see them being playful with each other before Surprise. Cause I really believe(more like...I know!!!) that they had more scenes off camera. They were a couple, and Buffy was happy with him. I would like to see them together. Angel smiling and all that!:biggrin3:


I would like to see them playing ball...at night! hahaha! since they can not go out together at daylight...or playing a game anyway!

 

[crazysoulless]

I wanted to see...

Angel making Buffy listen to Barry Manilow.
A lot more trips to the ice rink on days it was closed. Just the two of them skating. Aww.
Angel having dinner at the Summers house.
Buffy and Angel living together if even for a couple of weeks. Imagine the intimacy and added URST.
Angel cooking for Buffy like he did for the AI team on AtS.
Angel helping Buffy with her history homework. He was actually there when some of it happened!

 

[Wishing Oceans]

I agree with you guys, playful!Bangel owns. 😀 Still, I loved their interaction in End of Days/Chosen, that was pretty sweet. 🙂

Random question... Do you guys know any songs that totally make you think of bangel every time you listen?

I was just listening to Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson, and I'm pretty sure that the song was written about Bangel. 😀

Here are the lyrics:

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never would have worked out right, yeah
We were never meant for do or die...

I didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you now I can't stop...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you wanna cry
It started with the perfect kiss then
We could feel the poison set in
"Perfect" couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so
I love you enough to let you go

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on
So I'm already gone

Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone
Ahhhh already gone, already gone, already gone

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories, they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye...

I want you to know
It doesn't matter where we take this road
Someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
You couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
So I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right
When you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on,
So I'm already gone

Bangel, bangel, bangel. And I love that song. 🙂

The homework idea would have been interesting. Focus isn't Buffy's strong point as we saw when she studied with Willow and Giles.

 

[Kean]

Another potentially interesting Bangel moment would have been Angel going around to Joyce's for dinner with Buffy :biggrin3:

Oh I can see this happening! Joyce being wary and grilling him and then totally geeking out when he gives her all his art knowlege and Joyce just salivating over him lol

 

[crazysoulless]

Ooh! How about Angel going shopping with Buffy? That would have been great to see.

 

[dan k]

That's a good point, in season 4 she was a lot more focused. Although that wouldn't apply to when she was with Angel because obviously he left before she went to college.

Another thing i would have liked was to see Angel speaking about his experiences with Darla, Dru and Spike. I would have liked to have seen Buffy's reactions and how she would have handled Angel going into detail about his past.

 

[Kean]

Oh boy do I have songs that remind me of Bangel! 😛

This is my number one Bangel song

You could be happy by Snow Patrol

To me it gives Angel's thoughts during the times he has had to walk away from Buffy or let her go perfectly.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp4NCdISC2M"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp4NCdISC2M[/ame]

You could be happy and I won't know
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go

And all the things that I wished I had not said
Are played in loops 'till it's madness in my head

Is it too late to remind you how we were
But not our last days of silence, screaming, blur

Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door

You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far

Somehow everything I own smells of you
And for the tiniest moment it's all not true

Do the things that you always wanted to
Without me there to hold you back, don't think, just do

More than anything I want to see you, girl
Take a glorious bite out of the whole world

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

God, this is one perfect song, I love Snow Patrol 😀

And you're right Kean, it really fits them 😉

 

[Kean]

God, this is one perfect song, I love Snow Patrol 😀

And you're right Kean, it really fits them 😉

I have this theory that Snow Patrol write the best Bangel songs ever:

Their song Run is a perfect representation of what Angel went through leaving Buffy in S3

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear...

Set the Fire to the Third Bar

I always imagined that this is how Buffy and Angel would feel like when they are finally able to be together and how the separation weighs on them sometimes.

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=084l5-SA_nU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=084l5-SA_nU[/ame]

I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places

I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science

Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms

After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms

I was checking out some of the "favorite 'ships" threads; I didn't know so many Bangel fans also 'shipped Bangelus.

Can anyone explain why they like that 'ship? It seems very... odd, for lack of a better word 😛

Don't get me wrong, I love to watch them together. They have such a great dynamic and it's very interesting to watch it all play out in S2, but I would definitely not want them together. It's just all kinds of wrong, to me, lol.

 

[Flannen]

I wouldn't want them together-together, but I have mentioned before I would have enjoyed season six much more had it been Angelus who just so happened to appear in Sunnydale at the right time, lol. THAT would have been interesting to watch.

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

Well, I don't know why others love them but this is why I love them.. When Angel became Angelus Buffy had to live without her true and first love. The previous time we saw Buffy in that situation, it was in season 1, and she grew so much from that moment. So Buffy had to live with the knowledge that Angel is gone, but yet, she was seeing his face but it wasn't him. But, Buffy never stopped loving him. And then when we saw what happened in IOHEFY, when he became Angelus but didn't backed off, we saw some part of Angel still in him. Angel made him remember, and made him feel. And then was, when Bangelus was born, for me 🙂

 

[Kean]

I'll read the fan fiction, in fact one particular Bangelus epic is one of my favourite fics ever, but as far as canon goes, No way! If Buffy was to get with Angelus they would both have to become totally different characters because as they are now it just wouldn't happen. Angelus would torment Buffy, play with her and would take any pleasure from her he could get but I don't believe he could actually feel for her. Similarly Buffy would have to become a far lesser woman than the one she is to be willingly be with Angelus.

 

[dan k]

Bangelus would have been great to see on screen. I imagine it would have worked like Flannen suggested in season 6 where Buffy was struggling and turned to Spike when she was in need. Instead of Spike she would have turned to Angelus but i could see a scenario in that storyline when Angelus just kills her when she's at her weakest. Unlike Spike Angelus didn't love Buffy, he despised her.

I know, but a girl can dream right? lol

I agree, I think he would have gotten bored of her simply because he wasn't the main source of her pain. His vainity knows no bounds and I don't think he would have tolerated Buffy using him when he would feel like he should be the one doing the using. I can see him being quite indignant about the whole thing.

How about this instead:

Wes calls Buffy to trap Angelus and she goes through the dream with him? Buffy watching Angel defeat Angelus in that alley would have been quite a scene.

I also think that triumph should have held more weight, like Angel gaining full control of his body, eliminating the clause of the curse or something like that.

 

[GrrArghx]

I think Bangelus would destroy Bangel.

I can't see Angel being particularly 'okay' with realizing what happened, if (or when) his soul was returned to him after she and Angelus had been together.

 

[Flannen]

Kean, I can't karma you again, but I suppose your scenario is a much better one! 😛

 

[dan k]

The only scenario i could envision was Angelus torturing Buffy, using her pain to make himself happy and then callously killing her after he had like Kean suggested "got bored".

In terms of dreams then yeh it would definately make for an interesting dream. The possibility of Buffy going bad is intriquing and quite sexy on the face of things :biggrin3:
