"Vampires of the world, beware!"

I'm a huge fangirl for this dark and deadly show.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Buffy is pretty much my biggest obsession. I have loved the series since the 8th grade, and thus my love has been going on for 6, almost 7 years.

The main characters of the series are (from left to right):
Buffy Summers, Willow Rosenberg, Xander Harris and Rupert Giles

Buffy, Willow, Xander and Giles are often referred to as "the Scoobie Gang" or "the core four" as they are the main characters of the series. Although Giles does tend to have only a guest role in the 6th season, he remains part of the "Scoobie Gang".

Additional yet highly important characters include (from left to right):
Joyce Summers, Dawn Summers, Angel, Cordelia, Oz, Spike, Drusilla, Faith, Anya, Riley Finn, Tara Maclay, and Andrew Wells.

My favourite character of the whole series is SPIKE <3

Spike is a vampire that first appears in the 2nd season. He and his vampire girlfriend, Drusilla, come to Sunnydale. In the 3rd season, Spike only appears in one episode, and yet helps in breaking up three major couples. In the fourth season, he is neutered by 'The Initiative' (a demon-hunting army) and can no longer hunt or feed on humans. This dramatically changes the character from villain to somewhat of an allie to the Scooby Gang. In the fifth season, Spike discovers that he's in love with Buffy, and proves his love for her by risking his life for her and her sister. In the 6th season, Spike and Buffy begin a rather toxic relationship (that I very much enjoyed!) but break up because Buffy believes she is simply using Spike. In the 7th season, Spike has regained his soul and although he remains funny and aggressive, he is plagued by memories of the atrocities he's caused. In the final episode, Buffy finally says "I love you" to which Spike says "No, you don't. But thanks for saying it.". I ADORE this character, as well as the actor! He really made this series a million times better for me.

Favourite Spike Quotes:

"Out. For. A. Walk. *pause* Bitch." (counting off 5 words on his fingers)

"I do remember what I said. The promise. To protect her. If I had done that... even if I didn't make it... you wouldn't have had to jump. But I want you to know I did save you. Not when it counted, of course, but... after that. Every night after that. I'd see it all again... do something different. Faster or more clever, you know? Dozens of times, lots of different ways... Every night I save you."

"Poor watcher. What's the matter, life flash before your eyes? Cuppa tea, cuppa tea, almost got shagged, cuppa tea?"

"What's this? Sittin' around watching the telly while there's evil still afoot? It's not very industrious of you. I say we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can't go without your Buffy, is that it? Let's find her! She is the chosen one, after all. Come on! Vampires! Grrr! Nasty! Let's annihilate them, for justice, and for... the safety of puppies... and Christmas, right? Let's fight that evil! Let's kill something! Oh, come on!"

"Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. [Everyone looking at him.] You Englishmen are always so... [pauses] Bloody hell! [Counts off on his fingers] Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks, oh God! I'm English!"

"Dad can drive. He's bound to have some classic midlife-crisis transport. Something red, shiny, shaped like a penis."

"Why does a man do what he mustn't? For her. To be hers. To be the kind of man who would nev-- to be a kind of man. She shall look on him with forgiveness, and everybody will forgive and love. He will be loved. So everything's OK, right? Can--can we rest now? Buffy...can we rest?"

"They put the spark in me and now all it does is burn."

And here's a HILARIOUS Spike scene in an episode of Angel.


And know I'll end this 4th and ridiculously long post with a bunch of awesome Buffy icons:
