Buffy kissing Spike on the cheek in the comics

She loves him so much 🥹

Buffy and Spike kissing in his dream

Buffy and Spike kissing in his dream

In no universe will I ever believe this was his first sex dream about Buffy. Every interaction they've had has been inherently sexual.

What startled him awake wasn't kissing her. It was hearing his dream-self declare his love.

This is my hill. I will die on it.

Happy 25 years of Out of My Mind!

Buffy and Spike outside her house in Flooded; Buffy grinning at him

24 years ago, Spike did the impossible.

He got Buffy to grin.

Buffy and Spike being badasses

Cassie telling Spike that Buffy will one day tell him she loves him (in not so many words, but iykyk)

Help aired 23 years ago today. In which, in the middle of a devastating episode, we got:

Spike calling William a bad man
Buffy and Spike both being absolute badasses
And the last prophecy Cassie ever made.

Forever has her back. Not just to look at her ass, but that's a perk.

Buffy visiting Spike in Afterlife

Spike in Afterlife

How she came to him from the start.

Buffy and Spike walking side by side with the following caption from @galacticidiots on Twitter: ‘The first time we met we hated each other,’ you say, and oh, don’t you know? ‘I never hated you,’ I reply. ‘I just didn’t know what to do with it.’ ‘With what?’ ‘With my heart. All the terrible wanting it did when you came around.’

Drawn together from the start. It's bonkers that this wasn't planned.

Proof that true soul mates CHOOSE each other rather than abide by the whims of a higher power. Or showrunner.

🥰😍🥹

Your friendly EF Mod getting a selfie with a guy who looks a LOT like Spike.

MRW anti Spuffy people take the time to bork their algorithm by telling me how much they hate Spuffy.

Enjoy seeing a lot more of it, folks! And thanks for the engagement!

Spike caressing the mannequin head he bought

Spike being very normal about Buffy. In an enemy way. Purely enemy.

Buffy coming down the stairs; Spike seeing her; counting the days

Buffy telling Spike about Heaven

24 years ago, Spike realized she wasn't the Buffybot.

24 years ago, Spike stopped counting the days. Because today didn't count.

24 years ago, Buffy shared her darkest secret with her mortal enemy.

Spike giving Xander a look he richly deserves

Buffy helping Willow heal after an ordeal...AND after she tried to kill her and Dawn and end the world

23 years ago, Buffy approached Spike for help for the first time since learning about his soul.

23 years ago, Spike was all of us in giving Xander this look.

23 years ago, we learned the depth of Buffy's capacity for grace and forgiveness.

23 years ago, Same Time, Same Place aired.

Definitive. He took her last name.

Spike is always game to join a couple's fight. Is he in the couple? No. Will that stop him? Also no.

Eddie (Pedro Pascal, beloved) walking alongside Buffy

Buffy avenging Eddie (and herself)

Eddie's comfort blanket: Of Human Bondage

Spike reading the book 2 years later

RIP Eddie. You were taken from us too soon. But Buffy avenged you. And Spike thanks you for the book.

26 years ago, Season 4 debuted with two megastars. Granted, we only knew about one at the time, but hindsight.

Panels from S11 Spuffy comics. Paired with this quote from galacticidiots on Twitter: "You are so loved. Do you hear me? You are so loved. You need to hear it — often, always, an endless amount — to make up for a time when you didn’t hear it at all. You are so loved; I’ll say it enough times to lose count."

His love for her is always all over his face.

Buffy laughing her ass off

When you hear that Harmony has minions.

Spike after being punched in the face by the love of his life, as is usual.

Telling the truth and got punched anyway. 'Cause foreplay.

25-year anniversary of Real Me. And Harmony having minions.

Buffy being resurrected

Buffy realizing she's in a coffin

Spike looking unreasonably hot

Spike carting Dawn around on his motorcycle

On this date, 24 years ago, one of the most unfairly maligned and markedly best seasons of Buffy premiered. Buffy was raised from the dead and left in her grave to claw her way to freedom. It was also established that Spike is Dawn's babysitter/protector.

Happy 24 years to Bargaining Pts 1 & 2

Buffy understanding Spike's ramblings to mean he got his soul back

Spike flinching away from Buffy

Spike telling Buffy he got his soul back

Buffy grappling with what it means that he got his soul back

Elysian Fields turns 19 this October. We are celebrating with a themed event. This year's theme? Transformation.

Also, October 1 just happens to be the 22nd anniversary of the episode Beneath You. The episode in which Spike transforms her worldview just as much as he transformed himself.

Spike falling to his knees before Buffy. As is his way

When it comes to Buffy, Spike is always one step away from crashing to his knees. Stupid thing. (affectionate) (also iykyk)

Buffy and Spike with their matching cheek marks

Spike seeing Buffy for the first time on the dance floor

Spike threatening Buffy for the first time

Buffy and Spike in their first ever to-the-death battle, awww

Arguably the most important date in Spuffy history. Buffy and Spike's paths were telegraphed by matching cheek marks. We saw Spike bewitched by Buffy on the dance floor, and they mutually established that when it came to each other? No weapons needed.

Happy 28 years of School Hard.

Promo shot of S2 Spuffy

It's School Hard Eve. Remember to leave blood, cigarettes, and low-fat yogurt out for Spuffy, or they might not flirt-fight in your house tonight.

Buffy and Spike side-by-side Caption: Item: Spuffy Included: 1 Buffy and 1 Spike This is a set Keep together at all times.

Reminder.

This is based on a similar design. I don't know the name of the OG artist, and I felt uncomfortable sharing it again without being able to credit, so I recreated it. Full disclosure.

Two images; Buffy looking very bored next to Riley and then rushing out to get some violence in before bedtime

Buffy hearing she's famous

Dracula trying on his smolder

Spike rallying against Dracula, as is good and just

25 years ago, Season 5 premiered, in which we learned:

1. Buffy can't get no satisfaction from Riley so she goes out and gets her rocks off with violence
2. Dracula EXISTS in Buffyverse and is star-struck
3. Also, he owes Spike money. The scamp.
4. Dracula is no match for Buffy. Duh.

Spike foraging in the dump for crypt decor

Spike has endless raccoon energy.

Our vampire trash panda. 😍 🦝

Spike rocking his insane hair

Spike cupping Buffy's face

Spike insane and scratched up from where he tried to carve the soul out

Buffy checking on Spike's wounds

Season 7 Episode 1, Lessons, aired 23 years ago today. We got our first glance of Spike with his soul, marveled at how Buffy seemed completely unthreatened and wholly concerned about him even after what had last happened between them, and cried when he told us he tried to cut it out.

Facts though

Buffy and Spike having a good time pissing each other off. Captioned with @galacticidiots from Twitter: "I would rather annoy you than flirt with anyone else. I would rather be annoyed by you than loved by anyone else."

There's a reason they're each other's #1.
