Now, HERE'S a challenge! For all you Spuffies and Bangels, Willow has cast one of her infamous spells. The result is ytjhat all of the shippers have had their allegiences switched. Spuffies, you as of this moment shiver with delight at the sound of the word "Bangel." Bangels, your gteatest thrill is the pairing of Buffy and Spike.

The only way that the spell can be broken and the status quo returned to normal is for you to write a stirring and sincere defense of your new ship.

Have at it, Miss K, you're a Spuffy now. Let's hear your arguments, darlin, and make 'em good, "cause this new Bangel is gonna blow you out've the water!

But you love it, darlin. You LOVE it.

Edit:

By the way, take a couple of hours if you need it, I'm at work and I won't be able to get on the computer again until lunchtime.

Burn, baby, burn!

Hours? I'll need years to do this!!!! talk about digging deep!
 
Why is Bangel the ONLY relationship, you ask. Allow me to enlighten you. Okay, here goes. The most simple answer to this is...well, the most simple answer to this: Because Joss wrote it that way. He created two people who were both the exact opposite and so similar that it was almost frightening. First the opposites. He is tall, she is short. and so on: male/female (that's a given, still...) dark/light. slender/muscular, fashionable dresser/could give a s**t less, as long as it's black. Everyone knows opposites attract, it's a law of nature.

The similarities: Each is unique in his/her species, she the only human Slayer, he the only ensouled vampire. Both fight to defend mankind from the things that go bump in the night. He is immortal, while she, while not in herself immortal, is the latest personification of an entity ascending from the very dawn of time.

But so much for clinical details. Their souls touch, entwine, merge, join together in a ballet if love and devotion so pure that it actually needs no consumation, in fact actually is damaged and almost destroyed by the act of physical coupling. She loves him so much that his death literally destroys her world, causing her to flee the comforts of family, friends, and home to grieve his loss. his love for her is so great that he willingly sacrifices the gigt of mortality in order to protect and guard her from harm.

Buffy and Angel are, to use an old cliche, soul mates, bonded together in the fires of battle and the passion of a common purpose. They are unique: mortal enemies by species and star struck lovers by a force neither can deny. The personification of the tragic yet inspiring love, each sacrificing all for the other, neither asking more than to bask in the other's presence. Light and dark joined together in a bond stronger than all the forces of darkness, forever united, always sharing a love beyond passion, and a devotion beyond simple love and duty. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel, the Scourge of Europe. fused together in a love to rival the passion of the very gods on Mount Olympus. Two champions. Two warriors . Two souls joined tofether in an eternal bond. A love ordained to be.That is Bangel...


(Snort...cough...groan...) "Where am.. what have I...it can't be...I couldn't have...AHHHHHHHHH! Curse you, Willow! A thousand curses and a million more to follow. I'M SORRY, SPIKE, I DIDN'T MEAN IT! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! PLEASE FORGIVE...(sob...choke...groan...)



There you go, darlin'. Let's see ya top that.

I'm not going to take part in this thread because I'm a fan of ALL the relationships in context.
What I am going to say is that this thread seems like a lame way for White Avenger to say what he ACTUALLY believes while maintaining his 'I love Spike and Buffy' stance to rile up Keaonite. Shame really, I was really believed WA really liked Spuffy - now, not at all🙁

On the bright side, no more threads will descend into a Spuffy/Bangel one now because we know both WA and K lurve Bangel the most.

There's an old saying---"if you're scared, Say scared." If the challenge is too great...
Bangel is the love to end all loves. To love as they love is to drink the nectar of the gods from the cup of perpetual torment. Pain and pleasure intermingle each in equal parts so that both lovers are constantly adrift in a sea of sensation. With such intense highs and lows, no relationship can ever again match the emotional stakes of the Bangel relationship. It is the love that is worth dying for. It is the love that is worth killing for. It is a love so powerful that the consummation of it has the power to potentially destroy the world. It is in the past, safely preserved and remembered fondly with all of the indulgence and clarity of hindsight. Simultaneously, it is also the promised (or strongly hinted) reward at the end of the rainbow. When Buffy has matured and when Angel has been redeemed, the curse will be lifted and their struggles will culminate in a joyful reunion. Bangel is the love to which both will compare all others. And all others will be found wanting.


Ack! How was that? Is the spell broken yet?

I knew you had it in you!!!
WA to be honest I'm a little surprised that you crumbled so easily, all that Bangel passion, it makes me smile. I knew you had it in you😉 but the spell must be broken so I'll do my part but just to clarify as far as Buffy and Spike are concerned ''Buffy loves him according to their bond no more no less''.

Ladies and Gentlemen I have been asked to enlighten you to the ways off Spuffy. Gasp, shock, horror!! I know I know that was my reaction too but there are some meagre rewards to be found in this union. For me the two words that best describe this relationship; Solace and Friendship.

Buffy and Spike both are outsiders, on the fringe of their respective societies and also their families. Spike was rejected by every member of his family-Sire, Grandsire and so on, while Buffy was gradually pushed aside by hers. Both were isolated and unbelievably lonely and this is where the solace comes in. I think people can underestimate the power of physical contact with others, a hug, a kiss just to let you know they care, that SOMEONE cares. Spike and Buffy were missing that when they found each other. They both shared that need to feel...something! anything just once they knew they were still real. Buffy made Spike feel like a man when he was a monster and Spike kept Buffy alive when all she wanted to do was die. However, it is not all perfection. Despite how Spike felt he was still a monster. His attack on Buffy sullied and marred any good they had created together. So he left and he tried to make him self better, to ignite some form of humanity in him and he did, he found his spark and lit his soul up...effulgent almost!

And know we have friendship. Because if Buffy and Spike were anything they were friends. Almost a spin-off of the Scoobies. For a solid year they took hit after hit and held strong. When one was knocked down the other was there picking them up. They understood each others pain and saw their strengths clearer than anyone else around them. Neither would have survived Sunnydale's final year (and I mean actually remained dead) without the other. Buffy believed in Spike when everyone else wanted him dead and Spike saved Buffy when everyone wanted her gone. They are Willow and Xander part Deux. Bound by their bond, no more no less.

It ain't a leap' Darlin', but it's a step, and the journey of a thossand miles begins that very way. Be assured that I'll never give up on you, no matter what.


***Snap!**Crackle!**Pop!*** Thou art healed. Go forth into the world and spread the good news*** No, dern it, not THAT news!!

Keep ahold of that hope WA but it aint ever gonna happen. Thats as much as you are gonna get out of me!:eviltongu...and even at that I feel like I need a shower!
 
I don't know if that's gonna count, Keanoite!

You didn't switch sides. You got some thinly-veiled digs in. You admitted to solace and friendship, but you didn't take the final step and admit that love grew from that bond.

When I supported Bangel, I put Spuffy aside and got all overblown with the romanticism, just as any good Bangel should do. I used metaphors. I invoked the gods. I alluded. I alliterated. It was painful. You didn't put Bangel aside. You didn't feel my pain!

I call for a re-do! Keanoite needs to feel the pain of the cursed Spuffy-turned-Bangel.

I felt your pain as much was physically possible!!!! It took me two days to build up to that!!! It's not my fault that Bangel has the power to invoke the Gods and Spuffy doesn't!!!!:eviltongu
 
Palabra ignores Keanoite's protests and continues her cry of, "Re-do! Re-do! Re-Do!" She hopes WA will join in.

OT:
By the way. I just clicked the Sugar Water link from your RPG post. Wow, was that dance hot. Good memory. lol.

You can scream all you want but I've given all I have to give!!!

and I know!! Angel had it right! mated was definitely the more suitable word!
 
Due to this thread I've reverted back to my Bangel banner just so people are clear on my shipper loyalties....that aside, here goes...

Spike has always been there for Buffy. He saw the real her back in the third season episode of Revelations. He sees a part of her that she hides from her friends/family. For a lack of a better word he sees inside her soul. He's the person she shares things with. He was the first person she told that she had not been in hell before she was brought back to life the second time, and even before that, through unforeseen circumstances, he was with her when her mum found out that she was a slayer.

There's a saying that there is a fine line between love and hate and I think both Buffy and Spike crossed that line. They started out literally hating each other as enemies, then they crossed that line.

Spike has been there when Buffy needed him the most and Buffy has given Spike all of herself that she is able to give.


Ick Ick Ick!!

In answer to all of the protests (what were there, 3 or 4) concerning the supposed lack of sincerity on the part of one of the participants of this little exercise, I feel required to say this: A person gives what they believe that they can give. If the effort in question was honestly the most that this person feels that she can give, then I feel honor bound to support her efforts, no matter how small they may appear to others

When posting this thread, I made no specifications as to the tone or degree of depth of feelings were to be shown. If the other participants here feel that they have been somehow short changed, then I am afraid you will have to make your own settlements. Whatever my personal feelings may be in the matter, within the limits of the exercise as stated, the answer in question has been reachieved and accepted.
 
What I wrote I genuinely meant...anything else would have been bull. I don't know if you meant what you wrote for Bangel but that is how I see Spuffy. And seriously guys, did you honestly expect anything else from me?
