Spuffy

Today I watched all the videos on this thread 🙂 I like a lot of them. Hard to pick my favorite. This is the first Spuffy vid I ever saw was to I Wanna by the All-American Rejects. I wonder if it got deleted because I can't find it on YouTube now. It's on my iPod though. I watched it sometime during season 5, so I knew I had good things to look forward to.
 
Gah, if that Chen cover rumor is true, I will be one happy Spuffy fan. And I will completely reform my opinion of Season 8.

Oh, and regarding the Spuffy/Faith pairing... I just watched "Dirty Girls" tonight on LOGO, and I loved the interaction between the two. I have to say they would make an awesome duo. If it goes the way of Bangel, I definitely wouldn't mind Spaith. I'm not sure if I like it better than Spike/Illyria, though.
 
I haven't read the comics at all so my opinion is based only on the show, but I think if I can't have Spuffy, I'd like Spike & Ilyria better than Spike & Faith. He seems to have chemistry with just about anyone though!

RE: Spike's Chemistry - What was it that I read once somewhere, that Spike is the 'little black dress' of the Buffyverse - he goes well with everyone. 🙂

'Little Black Dress'! I love it. Very true. Spike just seems to fit into every scene with every character. I read in some fic somewhere that if he wanted too, he could create chemistry with a cement block, lol.
I call Spike my little Vampire Chameleon. 🙂 He adapts to every situation.

He really does! He seems to be the fandom bicycle - the one character that gets shipped with everyone.

Now, I am a diehard Spuffy fan, but lately... I've been kind of liking Buffy/Faith. I don't know why, lol. But yeah, I can see Spuffy/Faith, too now.

Agreed. I agree that Spike has chemistry with everyone (because he's a great actor and such a versatile character). I mean, he even had chemistry with Anya, and that I would have never thought would be possible.

Yet, I only ship Spike with Buffy and Angel. BUT...if Bangel ends up together I guess that deletes those options, so I guess I could go for Spaith 😉
 
I need to watch JM in some other things. I have season 6 of Without a Trace but I haven't watched it yet. I love how you can see all of his emotions on his face. He's a great actor.

Yes, he is. You should check out this short film called Chance Amber Benson made. James is in it.

Here's the trailer: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDtes_6OWYI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDtes_6OWYI[/ame]

He's done some memorable TV roles, like Brainiac in Smallville and as Captain John Hart in Torchwood (he kisses boys, its HAWT).
Here's a pic: http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Galleries/Shows/S_Z/Ti_Tp/Torchwood/season2/torchwood-marsters19.jpg

He's also been in a few good films; House on Haunted Hill, P.S. I Love You, Superman: Doomsday

and...don't miss him in the new show Caprica!

Pretty little Spuffy vid I just found.
 
I just wanted to pop in to post something great I read on LJ today, written by cynicalshadows in the entry 'What Makes Me A Shipper':

...for some reason my ships also have a tendency not to be endgame couples no matter how much I want them to be. But you know what? I don't care. I loved them before they began, I loved them while they lasted, and I love them even more once they're finished because it wasn't the prospect of white picket fences and weddings that hooked me on these couples in the first place. It was the journey they took, they way they fought like hell to deny their feelings, and then fought like hell to be together. It was the angst and the LUST and the overwhelming passion that made me love them, and lacking a fairytale ending can't diminish that. If anything, it only makes them more epic. Think about it. The greatest love stories ever told are not about the couples that make it. They are about the ones that don't.

You can read the rest of the entry, here Adult Content Notice

This, for me, encapsulates what I love so much about Spuffy; it was their temporary beauty makes what little time they had together so meaningful. It's not their future I ship - it's their past that holds so much meaning for me. A 'happy' ending would almost spoil it in a way.

Thoughts?
 
Well... I want a happy ending! I admit that I really, really want them together. I've read fanfictions where they've reunited, gotten together, and become a couple--which really just works. He fights with her and she accepts him and together they face whatever problems they have to face. I love their past, but I really, truly think they have a future, because they're good together. They really are.
 
Well, that post really depressed my shipper heart. And I have the right video rec to go with it.

I love that. For some reason I'm drawn to those 'ships too. The ones with all the conflict and passion, with the thin line between love and hate. This is especially the case when the characters have to become better people to be together; I love the evolution of the characters. I'm still hoping for a Sookie/Eric happy ending though I admit I'm not holding my breath.

I think that, while the LJ author is on the right track, they have missed the point slightly. The greatest love stories aren't about the couples who make it, or even the ones who don't. The greatest love stories are about the ones who NEVER QUIT TRYING TO MAKE IT. That's the thing about the Season 7 Spuffy relationship that appeals to me the most. During the season, the rest of the group, at one time or another, gave up on or rejected both Spike and Buffy.

But they never gave up on each other. That's what makes a truly great love story.

I'm sorry, friend! I didn't mean to depress you...

I don't think the fact that they won't end up together is depressing. As she said in her manifesto, the greatest love stories are those that don't make it (Romeo and Juliet, etc). I think there's something beautiful in that.

Cool vid! I hadn't seen that one yet.

Oh god. I've only seen the 1st Season of True Blood and Sookie and Bill were together...she get's with ERIC? That is so cool.

*reminds herself to go catch up on True Blood*

I agree. That's why I love Season 7 Spuffy so much. Buffy's line to Spike: "I believe in you" still gives me shivers.

True Blood sucks! I'm talking about the books :)

But why do you say it's a "fact" that Buffy and Spike won't make it? Why do you try to crush what little hope I have left? 🙁
 
I pretty much accept that, more than likely, Buffy and Spike will not "end up" together. I don't mind - I don't ship them for the happy ending. I don't like white-picket-fence-happy-ever-after-lovey-dovey-mushy-over-the-top-romantic-speechifying couples. That's why I love Buffy and Spike. Because they are the antithesis of stereo-typical romance and yet, I still find them undeniably romantic. They have a connection that is superior to any other relationship in the 'verse and I think that that will only ever change when they both die. Buffy may live 'happily ever after' with someone else, but they'll always have to contend with Spike's presence in her life (and heart).

And then I remember Joey and Pacey and think, well you never do know how it's gonna turn out...

Any thoughts regarding Georges Jeantry's recently expressed opinion that "it's no secret that Buffy loves Angel more than Spike"
(see Whedonesque for link)
