| Buffy Season 8- The Next Step by SinisterChic | | Chapter: Episode 1- Happily Ever After (Part B) | | | | Max | 10/30/2005 01:36 am | | OK, I hate the Scoobies a whole lot more now but I still hate Buffy too, just not as much since her wonderful friends and family raped her of memories. These are the same people who Buffy was too ashamed to treat Spike like an actual person in front of. She may not remember Spike b/of the spell but she still got with that pompous ass who freely admits to being the type a guy who uses countless women for his own pleasure and doesn't care about them. Furthermore, what the hell gave Buffy the right to treat Spike like she did in SD? She'd beat him on a regular basis, knowing he was defenseless against her, and be totally fine about it. (Anyone out there OK with people who enjoy hurting animals that are muzzled and chained? cause that's what the she was doing except worse b/c it was another person instead of an animal) It just got worse during their affair - Buffy beat him much worse and added mental abuse to it for good measure until she finally caused him to snap. Even when Spike finally snapped - he wasn't trying to hurt Buffy, which was evident when he fled SD and got his soul. Spike got his soul and came back where Buffy once again used him for muscle and emotional support for the one instance where he hurt Buffy. On the other hand, Buffy frequently beats Spike and screws up his head until he snaps and when he comes back she falls into the role of "poor little innocent victim" and then goes right back to using Spike. She used his guilt to keep him away from her but close enough to help out and make her feel better. She immediately kissed Angel and told him the stupid cookie-dough speech, telling Angel that there was still a possiblity of her getting back together with him, and writes off her feelings for Spike saying that he was merely "in her heart." I REALLY started hating Buffy when Spike bared his heart to her after she got the Sycthe, telling her that that night was the best night of his life - Spike lays out his heart for her and Buffy crushes it under her heel by her brutal dismissal. Even before "The Girl in Question" aired, I didn't want Spike to go running back to all of that, especially when he was finally getting himself back together again (I always thought that he stayed in LA b/of two things - Spike's strong sense of loyalty wouldn't let him just leave Angel and his new friends in such a bad situation and Spike had absolutely no reason to believe that Buffy did actually love him and wasn't just throwing him a bone before he died) Sorry, but it's still going to take ALOT for me to stop hating Buffy. Despite all of this, you still writing a great story (it'd be even better if you killed those traitous Scoobies) | | Wow, that was a long rant. *L* I agree, that's why I like to write fanfic and redeem Buffy. All I want is my poor Spike to be happy. Maybe the reason Willow took her memories away in the first place will ease your hate a little. | | jane | 10/29/2005 06:29 pm | | I like it so far. I'm glad that even though she's forgotten Spike she's not fallen head over heels for the immortal. Looking forward to more. | | spike_spetslayer | 10/29/2005 07:28 am | | Willow messing with Buffy's mind again...is that evil bea-atch ever gonna learn? At least she has her dreams...hopefully more than that soon. | | Yeah, Willow always thinks she knows best. Although, she has a reason for doing it. You'll find out later. |
