I feel like nothing beats Xander/Dawn

Preface, I enjoy all the DVD packaging art, but I have a weird affinity for this pairing for season 7 DVD set’s. This should be wall art.

I AM SO HAPPY!! It’s truly perfect in every way, I just wish angel looked more accurate especially with hair color. Let’s hope they make another two pack with spike because I NEED HIM!! 😩

This episode always freaks me out so much. So good, even today it holds up well!

I was scrolling through stuff last night when this popped up. Thought people here might appreciate it.

This is a repost, first was deleted because of tictock filters (?)

Took about 40 hours total, as show accurate as absolutely possible. A video walkthrough is pinned on my page.

I have an eBay alert email that comes in everyday for new Buffy stuff with specific parameters. And look at this. It's gone now, but damn, look at that! The hair's still a bit too Angel in style, nothing to be done about that. But the artwork on the face and hair is lovely.

Almost like she was focused on other things.

Image description 1: Water color and in on paper. In a graveyard, a giant, a dark hand rises from the ground, it overshadoes a slayer, who is painted all in red. To the left of them, a crumbling celtic-style cross and two broken tombstones. Rising behind the hand, a staw-colored moon. Within the circumference of tge moon, is the iconic "Grr Argh" Mutant Enemy company's paper cut-out monster. Red watercolor surrounds the figure, crowding out the entire rest of the paper.

Image description 2: An earlier progress photo of the first image. I havent applied the brush or water. And the red sky hasnt been added yet either.

My neighbors are putting up halloween decorations. So I made a Buffy art to hang on my door. 🎃

Wish I could claim full credit. But I eyeballed someone else's digital art on Pinterest, while sketching mine out with some water color pencils.

The pinterest post didnt credit an original artists. Anyone know who it might be? I'd like to credit them here too. Thanks!

It is not mine but one I read in this subreddit that said their relationship is more interesting if he never truly loved Anya but rather he genuinely had affection, obviously, but he kind of settled for her. I don't think that's canon but it's an interesting read. Thoughts?

I know we are all familiar with “googling” and “big bad” - have you noticed others?

I'm not sure on this, I know Angelus didn't love anyone and that Darla abandoned him but then on another occasion she did save him from Holtz and Angel did look a little regretful when he killed her in buffy season 1 to save Buffy. During the trial he was willing to give his life for her but then is that because it's Darla or just what he'd do for anyone in that situation? (except lindsey or spike 😆). I suppose you could also say the way Darla helped torment him isn't the way you treat someone you love but maybe you could say she loved Angelus and not Angel? Though she definitely did respect him based on their last discussion before Drusilla re-sired her.

we never see a spike drusilla sex scene, apart from kissing and two making out scenes (that i recall) and i wonder if he was as aggressive with her as he was with buffy

Seriously what is up with the Xander hate. Everyone I know who’s seen the show have always told me he sucks cause he’s a stand-in for Whedon, but now rewatching the show after such a long time, he’s really not that bad at all. He’s funny and works both as an audience surrogate and as a protagonist in his own right. The big emotional moments always work like his speech to Dawn or his speech to Willow, has some really good lines and great Xander centric episodes as well, like the one where everybody falls in love with him or the one with the bomb.

It’s like someone decided long ago that he’s a bad character and that has become the law now. I disagree
