Heya Mike, concerned annon here but isn't eggnog alcoholic? At least were I'm from its always alcoholic...

No...? You're talking about spiked eggnog- Eggnog itself isn't alcoholic. If it had alcohol in it, it would be.. with the alcohol. but what I'm talking about, you'd just find in like. the milk aisle.

actually genuinely I'm gonna sit down and be so real here for a second. I know some of you are gonna roll your eyes and think I'm overreacting but let me lay out the facts.

in the past 2 months, I've received 9 anonymous people in my inbox. 5. FIVE. of those 9. have been gross/hateful/generally fucking weird towards me. I literally experienced genuine sexual harassment right in front of you all. I've been purposefully misgendered twice, once for sexual purposes, the other for vicious, transphobic reasons.

I have ~850 followers. what the fuck is going on.

hate isn't new to me. I tend to be a... polarizing figure, people either love or hate me, I'm not sure why. but one feature my loved ones and those who hate me have in common is being obsessive about me. for some reason, for SOME fucking reason, I draw people in, and they just don't let go of me. for my loved ones, that's okay. for those of you who are reading this and don't like me... I am pleading with you to go away.

log off. go outside. this isn't fucking normal. I'm a small blog on the internet, I mind my business, I write a fic that people LOVE to remind me is the worst thing anyone has ever written, and that's about it. but I know some of you hate anons are repeat offenders and I am asking that you stop making cyberbullying me a habit and just fucking leave, man. get some therapy go volunteer in your community just do something that isn't this. you're never going to make me hate myself, you're never gonna accomplish whatever twisted goal you have in mind, hating someone isn't a way to live. please get better

#of course I don't expect something like this to actually drive the bad ones away #but like god it's been 2 months of a really weird sharp spike in the game of let's decimate dipper's inbox #so I'm making a post just to. idk. acknowledge it? try to instill some shame into these strangers? fuck man

You should do a sequel where Knuckles scares Rarity and Spike off, shouting at them to never return and leave the Master Emerald alone or else.

They be running

What are the 10 worst things Spike did?

Oh wow, only ten? Okay 🧐 so these are in no particular order, except for number one which is always the main reason why I hate him;

1) Trying to rape Buffy. I literally do not give af what led up to it. Attempted rape is attempted rape, end of.

2) Having sex with Drusilla next to the corpse of Xin-Rong. Disgusting.

3) Stealing Nikki Woods coat after murdering her.

4) Laughing about Kendras murder. Just in bad taste.

5) Saying he would get Dru back by kidnapping and torturing her?! Of course this is very in character for him because in s5-

6) He kidnaps both Dru and Buffy and holds them hostage, forcing Buffy to say that she loves him back or he’ll set Drusilla on her (and also saying he would kill Dru for Buffy and acting like this is some beautiful grand gesture 🤮)

7) THE BUFFY BOT?! HELLO?!

8) The balcony scene in s6 🤢 what the fuck

9) Pretty much his entire existence in s6 isolating Buffy and then making himself out to be Buffys victim in s7 makes me want to set him on fire

10) Lies Me Parents Told Me. I hate that episode and what he did and said to Robin with the fire of a thousand suns. Now to be fair, nearly everyone was OOC in that episode but Spike was next level cruel. I’ll be honest, I can’t even see him doing or saying that in s5 or s6, I have no idea what the writers were thinking but it was vile.

There’s a couple of other things I’ve probably missed (like putting the burden of his redemption on Buffy and the guilt of his actions as a vampire on Angel), but I’ll leave it at that.

Also, I’m going to tag this but if it somehow is seen by people who love Spike; I know he doesn’t have a soul for most of these, it literally doesn’t change a thing. They’re shitty things and unforgivable.

I find it fascinating that Xander, Buffy's metaphorical heart hates both Angel and Spike, the two love interests Buffy has a deeper connection with, while he seems found of Riley, the love interest Buffy has a more superficial shallow relationship with

Yeah it's quite interesting. Though I think the specifics of what Xander's feelings about Angel, Spike and Riley means depends on context.

In the case of Riley, I'd argue that Buffy does actually think she has a deep relationship with him. As she tells him in "Out of My Mind": “Nobody has ever known me the way you do. Nobody. I've opened up to you in ways that I've never opened up to...” Certainly she's had more opportunity for emotional and physical intimacy with him than she did with Angel. Yet her conviction that they have a deep understanding is at odds with their mutual blindness to each other. Both of them are too overwhelmed by their personal crises to recognize or appreciate the other person’s wants and needs. (Buffy’s crisis may be more sympathetic than Riley’s, given the way he goes about it, but his behavior and perception of her does nonetheless take her completely by surprise.). 

With this in mind, it fits that Xander is so enthusiastic about Riley, because Buffy herself is. Yet the things Xander likes about him tend to be the superficial, normatively masculine things. When Xander sees how big the Initiative is, in all its militaristic, institutional glory, that’s when he says: “Can I have sex with Riley too?” Or the way Xander calls Riley “a big jungle cat” as he does his silly military maneuvers in “Fool for Love”--and then asks "How come I’m not like that?” Or in “The Replacement” he tries to mimic Riley’s good-boyfriend behavior with Buffy, by massaging Anya--but Anya yelps with pain. Multiple times in season five, we see that Xander idolizes Riley and his relationship with Buffy, and then has that idolization disappointed. Say, Xander saying he envies Riley and Buffy’s relationship at the end of “The Replacement”, just before Riley tells him that Buffy doesn’t actually love him. Or Xander’s much-maligned speech to Buffy in “Into the Woods” that crucially leads to Buffy not catching Riley. Riley finishes the episode as blind and deaf to Buffy as ever. Xander has a romantic view of Riley, a view that Riley is who Buffy should want, which arguably matches Buffy’s own perspective. But it’s a view that ultimately leads nowhere real.

In other words, I’d say that Xander’s positivity towards Riley reflects what Buffy thinks she should want. And by contrast, I think Xander's antipathy towards Angel and Spike has to do with Buffy's fear and self-hatred towards her own emotions. (Though notably, Xander does call both Angel and Spike attractive, too. In “Teacher’s Pet” Xander says of Angel: “He’s a very attractive man, how come that never came up?” And in “Intervention” he describes Spike as “strong and mysterious and sort of compact, but well-muscled.” And “Teacher’s Pet” and “Intervention” are both early turning points in Buffy’s relationships with Angel and Spike. “Intervention” is obviously the first episode in which Buffy is shown to be capable of reciprocating Spike’s romantic interest. It might sound weird to call “Teacher’s Pet” a turning point, but similarly it is the first episode in which Angel is explicitly treated as a romantic interest and in which Buffy is clearly shown to be attracted to him, not just irritated by him. "Teacher’s Pet” is also thematically important with regards to Buffy/Angel because makes a very obvious parallel between an older teacher being interested in Xander, and Buffy being interested in an older guy. The show will even return to this female teacher/younger boy parallel with Buffy/Angel again in “I Only Have Eyes For You,” albeit with a different thematic bent.).

In season one, I’d argue that Xander is broadly treated as Buffy’s courage, and Angel is treated as her cowardice. Xander dives into helping Buffy, he “has heart”, whereas Angel keeps himself aloof. And so their antipathy is explained by Buffy’s bravery and engagement being at odds with her fear and detachment. When Xander forces Angel to help Buffy in “Prophecy Girl” you could see it as one of many symbols in the episode of Buffy conquering her fears. In seasons two and three however, Xander’s dislike of Angel seems more related to Buffy’s belief that her emotions are dangerous and destructive. Even before Angel loses his soul, there’s an ominous air surrounding the Buffy and Angel relationship, an association with death and horrible hidden faces. And afterwards this association becomes even more pronounced. Buffy spends the remainder of season two and much of season three, feeling tremendously guilty over the death and destruction that her love for Angel (seemingly) caused--including the death of Angel himself. So when Xander says things like “you wanna forget all about Ms. Calendar's murder so you can get your boyfriend back” I think he’s really the voice of Buffy’s own fears about herself. She’s afraid that to love means to romanticize, and to romanticize means to be selfish and naive. (To be like Spike, you might say).

In addition, I think the show’s ambivalent relationship to the romantic means that Xander’s negative feelings towards Angel have both a positive and a negative aspect. The positive aspect of Xander disliking Angel is the fact that some part of Buffy’s heart does see through romantic illusions. It’s annoyed and resentful of them. The negative aspect is the resulting shame that Buffy often feels about herself. Which blinds and inhibits her in a different way. But overall, I think the fact that Xander never really expresses a positive attitude towards Angel indicates the show’s overall position that while the romantic ideal that Angel represents is understandably compelling, it is still something that Buffy needs to ultimately let go.

Spike is a weirder case than both Angel and Riley though, because while Xander does express a lot of hatred towards Spike, and in specific cases with more vitriol than he ever does towards Angel, he also doesn’t just express hate. If anything, he can be downright tolerant of Spike, much like Buffy herself. While Xander and Spike regularly bicker, Spike nonetheless lives with Xander on two separate occasions (You might even make a connection between Spike living with Xander in season seven and Buffy telling Angel that Spike “is in [her] heart.”). They hang out in “Triangle.” In “Intervention” Xander expresses sympathy for how "thrashed” Spike looks. Just before Buffy kisses him. In “Him” Xander and Spike save the day together. (And there’s some symbolism for you--Buffy’s heart and her shadow teaming up to undo a spell that makes people see things in an immaturely romantic way).

It’s notable that the season in which Xander hates Spike the most is season six. Which is the season in which Buffy herself repeatedly, and violently, pushes Spike away. It is the season in which Buffy calls Spike dead, and a thing, in a mirror image of her own feelings about herself. Buffy spends the season hating herself and thinking she can’t feel, and thus it makes sense that she would be more alienated from her heart. In contrast to Xander representing bravery in season one, Xander in season six is defined by his cowardice--he is antsy about getting married, and his fears ultimately get the best of him. It is only after Buffy and Xander reconcile towards the end of season six, that Xander is able to return to his role of the heart and save the world by bravely expressing love towards towards the self-hating, shadow-consumed part of Buffy in the form of Willow. (And in parallel, Spike gets his soul and thus begins the process of becoming someone that Buffy doesn’t have to hate).

Then throughout season seven, Xander really doesn’t express much hate towards Spike. He’s very wary of him for a while, much like Buffy herself. But also lets Spike live with him, again like Buffy herself. The part of Buffy that expresses the most hostility towards Spike in season seven is Giles. Which suggests that it’s now Buffy’s reason and sense of tradition that stands in the way of her trusting herself and her emotions, rather than her heart. If anything, Xander and Anya resuming their relationship could be seen as a parallel to the developing romance between Spike and Buffy, given that Anya is also a reformed demon. (Regardless of one’s personal feelings about Spike/Buffy, they were undeniably written as a romantic pairing in season seven, and thus it makes sense to see symbolism echoing their relationship).

So in total, I think the idea is something like: Xander doesn’t like Angel because loving Angel is dangerous to Buffy. And loving Angel is dangerous because Angel is the romantic, and the romantic is something that in the early seasons, Buffy hasn’t yet developed a mature relationship to. Then Xander loves Riley because loving Riley is safe. But as it turns out, viewing someone as the safe option is its own form of romanticization and thus Riley also needs to go. Then Xander has a mixed relationship with Spike, because Buffy has an ongoing ambivalence towards herself, her emotions, and her romantic instincts.

:D!!!!! He even has kiibo's eyelines!

Kiibo used to be my all time favorite character when I was into Dr. U have no idea how happy this makes me

my not-so secret secret is that I got into dgr years ago because two friends liked it and this dude was also one of my favorites. the consequence of that is that he along with other characters fucked up my perception of how hair should be drawn for at least two years BUT still one of the better guys out there 💙
