3 fanon things confirmed

[maggie2]

Needless to say (!) I'm really happy about the preview pages.  It could get me to revert to being a Spuffy.

But aside from wanting (like crazy) to speculate about Buffy's smile and Spike's not-made bed, here are three things that Dark Horse has delivered us about Spike:

1.  It's now text that Spike has a more sizeable package than the other vampire.  Proof?  You don't boast to your ex about your package when she's in a position to make a direct comparison with your rival unless you think that comparison works for you.

2. Spike went to college.  OK, this was pretty much a given -- but now it's unmistakeable.

3.  He's got some sophisticated tastes underneath that bad rude exterior.

How many ways can I possibly say how happy I am that he's back at DH and being written by folks who know that there's more to Spike that womanizing and brawls?

Allie deserves a shout out on this.  So here's me, shouting out.

Finally: does that scene not reek of "Trust is for old marrieds, Buffy"?  I'll take it over space boinking and bestest day ever shenanigans any day of the week.

I'm sorry you can't enjoy it. What do you mean by Buffy's faith?

Dawn dying due to space-frakkin. A normal, driven by guilt Buffy would be destroyed.

Dawn's not dead yet. But, yeah. Buffy has yet to take full ownership of what happened. I think, though, that you're missing the part of the story where Buffy has been crushed by all this. The Buffy we knew had her moral certainty. This one not so much.

That's why I feel uncomfortable about this. I'm a Spike fan, not so much of Buffy's, but the way Buffy is portrayed (I see her as dumber like she never was) is painful, she's almost Harmony-zed to "my Blondie Bear" level.
