When Spike told Buffy about saving her, every night since she died, replaying in his head everything he could've done better. It's so heart-wrenching and beautiful, sorrowful. The self-inflicted torture he placed upon himself, blaming himself everyday because Buffy jumped, and staying with Dawn out of guilt and pain, and love for Buffy. Spike is definitely the best character in Buffy.
I only said that to myself this morning. Spike was the best character in Buffy, hands down. And when he is tortured by what happened it seems so unfair cos he was standing in front of Dawn on the plank. I ask you, how much more could he have done as noone else was even capable of doing what he did, no matter what the outcome.
"She has saved you again and again, she has died for you!" it took a vampire to open the eyes of the closest people who had been there with Buffy from the very start and then turned down on her in the darkest hour. Spike was truly the best character there, from antagonist to a champion. With or without a soul, he showed more than once that he was capable of loving, he became a better man for her and he sacrificed more than he could ever gain in the end. Almost two decades later, and this remains my ultimate OTP 💞
As destructive as their relationship was for a while, it developed into something bullet-proof, something stunning, something perfectly beautiful. Their chemistry was unmatched. And I love their love story every bit as much as Angel's. Spike's love was the kind you'd go to war for. In every way it made him a better man, and this is even after having gone to hell to redeem his soul - all for and because of his love for Buffy. It is such an extraordinary character.
Spike was the true champion. What an extraordinary role for James Marsters and so brilliantly acted. Whoever wrote his part had such a deep understanding of this complex character. I’m still blown away, decades later.
Spike was the better man because in the end when it really counted he was the only one by her side when everyone else turned there backs on her. And when she needed someone to motivate her to keep on going he motivated her
AND Spike NEVER, EVER chose anything or anybody over Buffy. EVER. Angel did. Buffy could have been as wrong as 2 left shoes, but Spike ALWAYS had her back.
@@savannatrevino7089I hated Giles in Season 7, didn’t like Robin either from the very start, why I love Buffy so much, she was the only one who instantly had faith in Spike when she realized he had his soul back, no one else gave him a chance but her and she was the one he’d hurt the most, that’s part of why she’s the best slayer too.
Angel & Riley have souls yet they couldn’t love Buffy. Spike had NO soul and he did what he could (though some of his actions were weird and kinda gross) to be the kind of man to be Buffy’s equal. Spuffy ❤️ Buffy: “I love you…”, Spike: “No you don’t. But thanks for saying it”. 🥺
I think initially Joss planned to write the love story of Angel and Buffy as the biggest love story ever told and he didn’t realize/ accept that he wrote and even bigger one on a very slow burner with Spuffy.
I was a BAngel shipper for a long time and I hated Spike coz I was jealous for Angel. It was only when I got older and rewatched BtVS seasons 1-7 that I realized how deep and powerful Spike's love for Buffy is. He fell hard for her even before he knew it, even Dru saw it. I love him for always having Buffy's back, he deserves to be loved by Buffy. Thank you for this video,made me fall min love with them over again.💕
I will always be Team Spike because he fell in love with Buffy when he didn't have a soul. Meanwhile, Angel went on a killing and torture spree when he lost his. Team Spike for life and no one can change my mind.
Mine either. When Spike first got on Buffy and he famously turned around to reveal his human face, I was like, "oh my gosh, what a beautiful man". I instantly KNEW, I wanted to see MORE of him. WOW
Its the Best moments of Spuffy. Spike real loved Buffy and did everything for her. He became a better man for Buffy and she fell in love with him. At the end they became soulmates and romantic. There are love, passion, sympathy, trust, careful in their relationship. Its amazing
Thank you! I'm rewatching the show and it's actually made me turn against Buffy. She was so cruel to him. She used him as a punching bag. It killed me to see how much he gave and did for her, and she seemed to take it for granted. I feel that Buffy should've made a bigger deal out of him getting his soul back, but instead, she was very nonchalant about it like he just went to go get a milkshake or something. I really wish we could've seen them be happy with each other and out in the open among everyone. Breaks my heart for Spike
it's funny considering the fallout with joss whedon, and his being a self-proclaimed "control enthusiast-" calling angel and buffy his grand love story, that he failed to recognize that spuffy was the grand love story. it just evolved unexpectedly, the way grand love stories do
He bullied Masters out of pure jealousy that Spike was lets face it a more interesting & somehow likable character than that block of wood Angel, a selfish man, who drank, womanized his life away & became the most evil sadistic vampire in that universe. Sure Spike was a close second but he was also a fun, layered character who actually had more depth than Angelus did.
@@Stuart267 i think it's a sign of good writing when you build a world and characters that they kind of have their own lives and the story writes itself. it's not about control. marsters is just a brilliant actor. you couldn't hate spike. he was funny and witty and cool. no one ever points out that angel was irish and spike was english. made for good conflict
@@lorio5003 I'm Irish & I still rooted for Spike. Angelus's God awful Irish accent was laughably bad. Spike's accent whilst at first was a bit Australian sounding at first was more believable than Angelus
Wow i am speechless. This is very beautiful. For me, Buffy and Spike are very special. Their relationships, even in supernatural setting, felt so real, so deep. Thats why i admire videos like yours. Its pure magic what you did. Thank you!
Thank you! Yes one of the reasons why i love the show is that there's always a deeper meaning to all the supernatural elements and their relationship was very layered and complex!
Now this was a masterpiece omg ✨ I’m in love with Spike and their relationship. I wish we could see the further relationship between them like in the comics.. :)
I hardly ever comment on RUclips videos, but this is just stunning. I love how you put one of my fave quotes (Buffy asking “you think we’re dancing?” And spike replying “that’s all we’ve ever done) intercut with them actually battling AGH thank you for this
I saw up to season 5 when it first aired, and now, 20 years later I'm watching the final 2 seasons and it's gut wrenching. One of my biggest annoyances with this show was how they just cut away from some scenes that could've really developed and been very moving. One in particular is where Buffy realizes Spike has his soul back and he lays on the cross. Visually - seeing Spike from the back, laying on the cross, up in smoke is just so achingly beautiful - AND THEY JUST CUT AWAY FROM IT!!! The episode ends and when the next one begins, it's another day, it's sunny and Buffy is in her house with Dawn. ??!!! This was a totally missed opportunity to see how Buffy reacted to this - what was said - how did she walk away from that moment. It guts me to not have a complete scene of such a pivotal moment! Spike deserved better.
(and this is why i live for epic fanfics lol… SO many hundreds of incredibly thought out, emotionally charged, well written spuffy fanfiction out in the world that fill those voids and scratch those missing moment/ could have been itches!)
Watching it the night it aired, it was so climactic that I stood the whole time right in front of the television. I had a week to process it since it was in real time for me and not a binge watch … it haunted me. Watching again here I still feel what I felt the first time. It was extraordinary tv. I bought the dvds but some of the emotional scenes I didn’t watch too much bc it hurt like a first love. I did however rewatch the lighter hearted first seasons.
OMG this video is just beyond incredible! I think it's definitely one of your best!! You literally had me crying and just stunned after I watched it. I really feel like you created a visual dissertation on why these two are the best ship ever and always will be. This should be shown to anyone who doubts the love they feel for each other or the growth of their relationship. I just love the scenes you chose to weave together! Some of them really feel very unique to your video. For instance, the way you started by combining Spike talking about how he dreams about saving Buffy from death over and over again with him saying he would actually give his life for her! That is a punch in the gut right from the start! So powerful! I always love the parallel of their bloody hands! OMG and the way you paralleled Xander's quote with Spike saying that his night holding Buffy was the best night of his life! Literally the two happiest moments in Spike's entire life were seeing Buffy alive again and holding her/being close with her through the night!! MY HEART IS GOING TO EXPLODE! I've never seen that paralleled before, but it was perfect! Gah transitioning from "We're mortal enemies. We don't get timeouts" to "what's wrong?" The way Spike INSTANTLY sets aside the fight when he sees her hurting!! What are you doing to me?!?!?! I love that Spike views their fights as dancing. It's foreplay, but even more than that, it's two equals coming together to express passion they can have with no one else. I kind of love your use of the "you haven't even come close to hurting me" "Afraid to give me the chance?" It sort of feels like this is not literal pain. Buffy is afraid to let Spike in, to allow herself to be vulnerable to the pain that can come from a love like that. The First slayer even says this to her when she says that Buffy loves so strongly and that's why she pulls away from it. Your use of that line, particularly before she finally kisses him is just so poignant! And then with Buffy trying to deny her feelings again! It just flows so well and really works as an examination of her character! Buffy being afraid to let herself love Spike for fear of pain and Spike taking on Buffy's pain out of a desire to be loved by her...JFC you really nailed that!! I loved that you combined the "You're in love with pain" and "I've come to redefine the words pain and suffering since I fell in love with you"!! And on that note the "put it all on me" moment!! YAS!! Spike let Buffy take out her own self loathing on him! I'm so glad you showed that. It goes to show that neither of them were in a healthy place to have a functional relationship at that time! But boy do you show how they grow from there!! ONE OF MY FAVE PARALLELS HAS TO BE THEM CALLING THEMSELVES MONSTERS!!! I seriously don't remember ever seeing that done before!! I haven't ever even put it together in my mind before! I LOVE THAT YOU DID THAT!! That has to be one of the coolest parts of the video. And yet even in those moments...Buffy is thinking of how bad she treated Spike, but Spike is literally saying she treats him like a man! And Buffy is acknowledging that Spike truly cared for her! It's just so epic!! You did such a wonderful job putting that bit together! Also the combo of him saying he cares about her and her admitting he cared, but that she wouldn't let him. Just wow. I freaking love Spike's "great love" speech! Notice it is a lot like Blair's quote to Chuck? hehehe xD Spike earning his soul back for Buffy is probably the most incredible thing any fictional character has done for the one they love! It is the definition of redemption, of love inspiring us to be the best person we could be. Honestly, if anyone can look at this and not see the pinnacle of true love, then I don't know what they're watching tbh. And the way Buffy FOUGHT for him once he did that for her. She spends a year fighting everyone left and right to defend him. She even has to defend him from himself FFS! I love that you included so much of her speech from Never Leave Me! Again I ask, how can ANYONE question Buffy's love for Spike or her being "deserving" of him? Not only did she inspire him to be a better man (the best thing you could do for someone) but she never let him give up or doubt that he could be the man he wanted to be. That is the definition of love. Anyone can fight me on this. God damn girl...combining his speeches in The Gift and Touched to show how selfless his love for Buffy is just makes me melt!! The ONE person in her life that loved her unconditionally and SELFLESSLY! The ONE person who never left her! Which is why I appreciate that you included her "I'm not ready for you to not be here". I love that Spike didn't make the choice for Buffy. She asked him to stay and he did. Do I think Angel leaving was ultimately the right thing? Of course! They were not able to truly grow together and build a partnership like she found with Spike and he found with Cordy. But he still made the choice for her rather than respecting what SHE wanted. Spike listened to Buffy. I adore that contrast! "There's a connection. You rely on him. He relies on you." Giles may take issue with this, but it is truly why Buffy and Spike are soul mates/true love. They developed a real partnership and trust. She admitted herself that she couldn't trust Angel. But she and Spike built that over time. And her saying as much to Angel "He is in my heart"...such a huge moment. If you notice, Buffy always used her boyfriends/dates to make Angel jealous. Every single one...until Spike. She says nothing to Angel about what she and Spike have. Angel has to pull it out of her. I always took this to mean she had finally moved on from Angel and found her true companion in life, and THAT is why I think she really sends Angel away in the end. Not because she is okay with Spike dying as opposed to Angel, but because Spike is her champion now. It was their fight.
You could not have said it more beautifully. When Spike didn't have his soul, you ever notice he NEVER went after Buffy's mom, or her sister. I think in S2 Ep 22, when he makes a deal with Buffy to kill Angel and to let Dru go, he noticed how she protected her mom, and did not know about her being a vampire slayer plus a high school kid there was a level of respect he had for her. It's admirable for a young lady, who has taken to be a slayer for a couple years, and protecting her own mother from worry of what she does...true respect.
Exactamente cada palabra que has dicho aquí de todo lo que piensas de la relación de Buffy y Spike realmente es lo que siempre pensé..más bien siempre sentí. El vídeo y tus palabras están en perfecta comunión..nada más q agregar. La mejor pareja de los siglos en mi opinión. Porque los vimos crecer. Porque pudimos ver el amor que realmente habita en ellos. Todo el poder por explotar q llevan dentro ..pero sin perder la suavidad por ejemplo la manera en que le dijo los días q había estado muerta . Recuerdo la primer vez que lo escuché ..que si le preguntaba los minutos y segundos se los decía. Los amé..los amo y amaré . Para mí la mejor pareja creada en la ficción
This video is beautifully done! It is closest to explaining why I have cheered for and loved Spike and Buffy so much since the show was on originally on air. They each have had their demons, but they grew so much. Thank you! P.S. This is first time, I have decided to comment on anything after having this account name for a few years.
I'm just at the last season and I dread the last episode... Spike was always my fav, since I first watch Buffy. His character has so much depth and his feeling for her were always so heartbreaking! Thank you for your work at this video! The feelings it makes me feel....
I never watched it when it originally aired. I streamed it during Covid and I remember thinking I can't believe I'm going to watch this stupid show. It ended up being one of my favorites. Spike made the show.
Oh my god, that was so so so beautiful. The most complete and compelling video for those two I have ever watched. I recently rewatched the series and it still hurts and yet it just makes so much sense to me: the way they grew along side each other, pushing and pulling and always, always longing... They were the most perfect couple in the way they were so imperfect. It was an abusive relationship at one point, but they truly changed, and the way they treated each other in the final season just showed how much they didn't want to mess it up again. You reflected all of that in this beautiful video.
I was not prepared to be hit by this many Spuffy feels this late in the evening. But like right from the start of the vid „every night I save you“ Uff. What a fucking amazing video!!!! Thanks for putting it out here rn, it’s much appreciated and sorely needed
I recently finished a rewatch too and am starting the comics that continue the story. It’s my first time reading those and when I tell you my Spike loving soul was so happy 😂
Thank you so much Val for this amazing video. It's probably the best portrayal of their story I've seen. There's still no other vampire/human love story comes close to Buffy and Spike.
this is still so absolutely stunning i keep coming back to it every time i end up re-watching the series. this has to be one of the best spuffy edits i've ever seen (and possibly one of the best edits i've seen in my many years of watching fandom amvs). marvelous work
Ah man this got me right in the feels... wasn't expecting this to pop up in autoplay and now I'm gone!!!!! Emotions!!! Like a genius, you mashed up the most romantic moment in TV history with the most moving music from TV History... haha.. I salute you! Nice one! x
Thank god for people like YOU! This video is one of the best Spuffy videos I´ve ever seen. The music evokes sooo much emotion and fits perfectly to the scenes you picked out. WELL DONE for creating this masterpiece.
I'm CRYING! I could literally feel all these emotions and the music was perfect and AGGHHHH!!! The scenes you chose and the editing you did = *chefs kiss* !!!! The quote of him explaining why he loves her? Goddammit!! It tore my heart apart, it was so beautiful!! I've already watched this video at least 5 times, I'm saving it and I'm probably gonna watch it every day! I loved it THAT much!! Thank you so much for making it!
I love this edit, such good work, interesting that "Love is Blood" is not used in this video as it applies to them too, I love how you put some of the times Spike helps Buffy and she let him, I have seen many times season 5,6,7 and there are very subtle moments where you can see they are a duo, Spike is truly his sidekick, he waits for the sign to intervene, he doesn't overstep, he knows she can handle herself and even tho they are not really physical anymore after season 6, Buffy touches him a lot very gentle in season 7. Missed one of my favorite parts where she is really quiet when he says you never had it as good as me or when she keeps the lighter and lies about it showing that she really liked Spike. She liked him, and she felt for him but was in denial, you can also see this many times when she puts herself in the spotlight like : "why everyone thinks I'm still in love with him" "
So far, it's the best video about this pairing. You succeeded in explaining all their difficult (sometimes painful and rude) but beautiful relationship. The music was perfect, relevant and the quotes weren't too numerous but accurate. Even if I love Angel and his story with Buffy, I tend to prefer the pairing Buffy/Spike, more complete and deep in my view. Wow, thanks for it ;)
I think it is bad that spike was the only one there for buffy(Even if he is bad or good.) he was in love with her from the start. They where the best couple in the show.
They should have ended up together no questions about it there relationship really did have more passion and love when buffy said the only time I feel alive or anything is when I'm with spike that should have indicated to her how in love she was for him
Great work. This is s good series from the 90s that can still be enjoyed today. This is a beautiful tribute to the slayer & the champion characters. Thank you for sharing this. - Jennifer my sons mom Burton. 🎉
I wonder a lot how it would have been different if the Scoobies and even Buffy had seen that he was changing and given him some guidance or encouragement. But instead they just kept telling him he was evil and could never change. Like, do you WANT him to continue to be a monster? Wouldn't it be better if f he weren't? Why not help him with that?
I don't watch this, so I don't know them like you but I was drawn in by your editing. You edit them so beautifully it also makes me want to watch the show but I tried to get past season 1 episode 3 and I couldn't do it. The beauty of the paralleling between them cannot be denied though, I love how you focused on the bond you speak of it's very apparent like Fitzsimmons or Clace. I will never understand why THIS pairing didn't get canon but the bland attempted inspiration of it in another CW show did with little to no development and full on toxic tendencies. This relationship you can see the two of them becoming more with each other and even separately as they're spurred through meeting- aka Twinflames. Like the other two mentioned by name, pairings but hey same people so of course they are haha. Truly astounding edit. The title drew me in, the editing kept me captive.
Thank you! I'm glad you decided to watch this even though you don't watch the show and could still appreciate it and connect it to other pairings! I think you should give Buffy a chance, since you love Reylo as well, I'm sure you would love Spike and Buffy's relationship. I personally started the show on season 5 the first time because I knew that's when Spike became one of the main characters and that's what drew me in! I find the first 3 seasons can be hard to get through, but 4 to 7 are just brilliant and heartbreaking and one of the best things in tv history imo!
Honestly, Season 1 of Buffy is the worst. But if you can try & get past it, the rest of the show more than makes up for it. Season 4 is when it starts to get really good as that is when Spike becomes a main character.
Season 1 is many least loved seasons, I struggled to get past it earlier this year too, when I watched it for the first time, but honnestly ? Totally worth it. Btvs is a goddamn masterpiece and I'm so invested in the universe (and Spike) that I'll even watch Angel the Series despite my lowkey hatred for the MC. I really don't like Angel, urgh.
Stahp! i was just watching a Ben and Rey edit and then I decided to look up a buffy and spike one before I realized you made the same edits!!! Both were so beautiful and well done!

Unbelievable how many times he could call himself out of it, leave her for the way she used him. And he never did. He's the last romantic hero.
OMG this video is just beyond incredible! I think it's definitely one of your best!! You literally had me crying and just stunned after I watched it. I really feel like you created a visual dissertation on why these two are the best ship ever and always will be. This should be shown to anyone who doubts the love they feel for each other or the growth of their relationship.
I just love the scenes you chose to weave together! Some of them really feel very unique to your video. For instance, the way you started by combining Spike talking about how he dreams about saving Buffy from death over and over again with him saying he would actually give his life for her! That is a punch in the gut right from the start! So powerful!
I always love the parallel of their bloody hands! OMG and the way you paralleled Xander's quote with Spike saying that his night holding Buffy was the best night of his life! Literally the two happiest moments in Spike's entire life were seeing Buffy alive again and holding her/being close with her through the night!! MY HEART IS GOING TO EXPLODE! I've never seen that paralleled before, but it was perfect!
Gah transitioning from "We're mortal enemies. We don't get timeouts" to "what's wrong?" The way Spike INSTANTLY sets aside the fight when he sees her hurting!! What are you doing to me?!?!?! I love that Spike views their fights as dancing. It's foreplay, but even more than that, it's two equals coming together to express passion they can have with no one else.
I kind of love your use of the "you haven't even come close to hurting me" "Afraid to give me the chance?" It sort of feels like this is not literal pain. Buffy is afraid to let Spike in, to allow herself to be vulnerable to the pain that can come from a love like that. The First slayer even says this to her when she says that Buffy loves so strongly and that's why she pulls away from it. Your use of that line, particularly before she finally kisses him is just so poignant! And then with Buffy trying to deny her feelings again! It just flows so well and really works as an examination of her character!
Buffy being afraid to let herself love Spike for fear of pain and Spike taking on Buffy's pain out of a desire to be loved by her...JFC you really nailed that!! I loved that you combined the "You're in love with pain" and "I've come to redefine the words pain and suffering since I fell in love with you"!!
And on that note the "put it all on me" moment!! YAS!! Spike let Buffy take out her own self loathing on him! I'm so glad you showed that. It goes to show that neither of them were in a healthy place to have a functional relationship at that time! But boy do you show how they grow from there!!
ONE OF MY FAVE PARALLELS HAS TO BE THEM CALLING THEMSELVES MONSTERS!!! I seriously don't remember ever seeing that done before!! I haven't ever even put it together in my mind before! I LOVE THAT YOU DID THAT!! That has to be one of the coolest parts of the video. And yet even in those moments...Buffy is thinking of how bad she treated Spike, but Spike is literally saying she treats him like a man! And Buffy is acknowledging that Spike truly cared for her! It's just so epic!! You did such a wonderful job putting that bit together! Also the combo of him saying he cares about her and her admitting he cared, but that she wouldn't let him. Just wow.
I freaking love Spike's "great love" speech! Notice it is a lot like Blair's quote to Chuck? hehehe xD
Spike earning his soul back for Buffy is probably the most incredible thing any fictional character has done for the one they love! It is the definition of redemption, of love inspiring us to be the best person we could be. Honestly, if anyone can look at this and not see the pinnacle of true love, then I don't know what they're watching tbh. And the way Buffy FOUGHT for him once he did that for her. She spends a year fighting everyone left and right to defend him. She even has to defend him from himself FFS! I love that you included so much of her speech from Never Leave Me! Again I ask, how can ANYONE question Buffy's love for Spike or her being "deserving" of him? Not only did she inspire him to be a better man (the best thing you could do for someone) but she never let him give up or doubt that he could be the man he wanted to be. That is the definition of love. Anyone can fight me on this.
God damn girl...combining his speeches in The Gift and Touched to show how selfless his love for Buffy is just makes me melt!! The ONE person in her life that loved her unconditionally and SELFLESSLY! The ONE person who never left her! Which is why I appreciate that you included her "I'm not ready for you to not be here". I love that Spike didn't make the choice for Buffy. She asked him to stay and he did. Do I think Angel leaving was ultimately the right thing? Of course! They were not able to truly grow together and build a partnership like she found with Spike and he found with Cordy. But he still made the choice for her rather than respecting what SHE wanted. Spike listened to Buffy. I adore that contrast!
"There's a connection. You rely on him. He relies on you." Giles may take issue with this, but it is truly why Buffy and Spike are soul mates/true love. They developed a real partnership and trust. She admitted herself that she couldn't trust Angel. But she and Spike built that over time. And her saying as much to Angel "He is in my heart"...such a huge moment.
If you notice, Buffy always used her boyfriends/dates to make Angel jealous. Every single one...until Spike. She says nothing to Angel about what she and Spike have. Angel has to pull it out of her. I always took this to mean she had finally moved on from Angel and found her true companion in life, and THAT is why I think she really sends Angel away in the end. Not because she is okay with Spike dying as opposed to Angel, but because Spike is her champion now. It was their fight.
You could not have said it more beautifully. When Spike didn't have his soul, you ever notice he NEVER went after Buffy's mom, or her sister. I think in S2 Ep 22, when he makes a deal with Buffy to kill Angel and to let Dru go, he noticed how she protected her mom, and did not know about her being a vampire slayer plus a high school kid there was a level of respect he had for her. It's admirable for a young lady, who has taken to be a slayer for a couple years, and protecting her own mother from worry of what she does...true respect.
Exactamente cada palabra que
has dicho aquí de todo lo que piensas de la relación de Buffy y Spike realmente es lo que siempre pensé..más bien siempre sentí. El vídeo y tus palabras están en perfecta comunión..nada más q agregar. La mejor pareja de los siglos en mi opinión. Porque los vimos crecer. Porque pudimos ver el amor que realmente habita en ellos.
Todo el poder por explotar q llevan dentro ..pero sin perder la suavidad por ejemplo la manera en que le dijo los días q había estado muerta . Recuerdo la primer vez que lo escuché ..que si le preguntaba los minutos y segundos se los decía.
Los amé..los amo y amaré .
Para mí la mejor pareja creada en la ficción
Wow. That was...perfect. ❤
Can’t watch this without shedding a few tears
This is lovely and very touching. The pair of them are so expressive.
Spuffy nation RISE; THIS WAS THE PERFECT SPUFFY VIDEO THANK YOU MAAM
Spike is so handsome and romantic. I fall in love with him.
best try not to cry challenge ever. also, I wish she actually loved him at the end, and maybe they'd kiss or something.
She did love him, he just didn't want ton believe it.
She love him she was in love with him it just took time for her to admit it plus she pick him over angel in the final esp
This video is beautifully done! It is closest to explaining why I have cheered for and loved Spike and Buffy so much since the show was on originally on air. They each have had their demons, but they grew so much. Thank you! P.S. This is first time, I have decided to comment on anything after having this account name for a few years.
I'm just at the last season and I dread the last episode... Spike was always my fav, since I first watch Buffy. His character has so much depth and his feeling for her were always so heartbreaking! Thank you for your work at this video! The feelings it makes me feel....
A twin flame connection🔥🌊💜
I never watched it when it originally aired. I streamed it during Covid and I remember thinking I can't believe I'm going to watch this stupid show. It ended up being one of my favorites. Spike made the show.
ohhhhh man i watched this twice in a row and cried both times.....they really are the OTP to end all OTPs. Peak Romance. thank you for this !!!!
Amazing video! Their relationship was so real and so painful, but they definately loved each other!
Why I cry every time when I see video about love Buffy and spike ?!😢😢 l love this story, always cry
I rewatching Buffy for the hundred times with my dad, we are at season 3 and i can't wait to see their journey again !!! :D I love them so damn much
Oh my god, that was so so so beautiful. The most complete and compelling video for those two I have ever watched. I recently rewatched the series and it still hurts and yet it just makes so much sense to me: the way they grew along side each other, pushing and pulling and always, always longing... They were the most perfect couple in the way they were so imperfect. It was an abusive relationship at one point, but they truly changed, and the way they treated each other in the final season just showed how much they didn't want to mess it up again. You reflected all of that in this beautiful video.
I was not prepared to be hit by this many Spuffy feels this late in the evening. But like right from the start of the vid „every night I save you“ Uff. What a fucking amazing video!!!! Thanks for putting it out here rn, it’s much appreciated and sorely needed
This is amazing!! I love that you focus on this and the scenes you chose and voiceovers!! 🥰❤️ Loved every second!!
thank you!! i'm glad you enjoyed it!
Dam that broke my heart all over again 😭😭
I just finished watching the whole series today and then I open RUclips to this. Was just a blessing. ❤
that's awesome, good timing then! :D i rewatch the show almost every year haha
I recently finished a rewatch too and am starting the comics that continue the story. It’s my first time reading those and when I tell you my Spike loving soul was so happy 😂
Thank you so much Val for this amazing video. It's probably the best portrayal of their story I've seen. There's still no other vampire/human love story comes close to Buffy and Spike.
Such a good video. I loved Spike with Buffy, but Buffy with Spike just broke my heart.
She did not deserve him.
Yes she did it just took time for her to kno it
this is still so absolutely stunning i keep coming back to it every time i end up re-watching the series. this has to be one of the best spuffy edits i've ever seen (and possibly one of the best edits i've seen in my many years of watching fandom amvs). marvelous work
he deserved so much more
❤️😭 I love Spyke&Buffy, togheter 🔥 wonderful video. Congratulation😘
“Your the one Buffy” AHHAUE
Ah man this got me right in the feels... wasn't expecting this to pop up in autoplay and now I'm gone!!!!! Emotions!!! Like a genius, you mashed up the most romantic moment in TV history with the most moving music from TV History... haha.. I salute you! Nice one! x
Thank god for people like YOU! This video is one of the best Spuffy videos I´ve ever seen. The music evokes sooo much emotion and fits perfectly to the scenes you picked out. WELL DONE for creating this masterpiece.
thank you so much!!
I'm CRYING! I could literally feel all these emotions and the music was perfect and AGGHHHH!!! The scenes you chose and the editing you did = *chefs kiss* !!!! The quote of him explaining why he loves her? Goddammit!! It tore my heart apart, it was so beautiful!! I've already watched this video at least 5 times, I'm saving it and I'm probably gonna watch it every day! I loved it THAT much!! Thank you so much for making it!
Ahhh thank you so much, you have no idea how much this means to me!! I love that you felt all the emotions cause i did too when i was editing this
@@GossipVal1 Exactly! Because true love is supposed to be what he described. It's selfless and compassionate! He really loved her so much ;_;
@@elssiie i know 😭😭❤️
I love this edit, such good work, interesting that "Love is Blood" is not used in this video as it applies to them too, I love how you put some of the times Spike helps Buffy and she let him, I have seen many times season 5,6,7 and there are very subtle moments where you can see they are a duo, Spike is truly his sidekick, he waits for the sign to intervene, he doesn't overstep, he knows she can handle herself and even tho they are not really physical anymore after season 6, Buffy touches him a lot very gentle in season 7. Missed one of my favorite parts where she is really quiet when he says you never had it as good as me or when she keeps the lighter and lies about it showing that she really liked Spike.
She liked him, and she felt for him but was in denial, you can also see this many times when she puts herself in the spotlight like :
"why everyone thinks I'm still in love with him" "
Oh hell. This is so good. Beautifully encapsulates their epic relationship 😍
Probably the best love story ever written.
If this is not that very love to die for I don't know what love is
So far, it's the best video about this pairing. You succeeded in explaining all their difficult (sometimes painful and rude) but beautiful relationship. The music was perfect, relevant and the quotes weren't too numerous but accurate. Even if I love Angel and his story with Buffy, I tend to prefer the pairing Buffy/Spike, more complete and deep in my view. Wow, thanks for it ;)
You deserve an Academy Award for this and I am NOT kidding! That was AMAZING!
I can relate to Spike, to love so much, or to be unequally, yoked with someone is so hard, and yet most love relationships are this way.
This is so cool, so well done. I'm so impressed and grateful we can get HD beautiful vids for such an older ship and show! Thank you!
This is such a perfectly beautiful edit that genuinely encompasses their love, the bad and more importantly the good.
This spuffy video is a masterpiece ! I have no words... So well done 🙏🙏🙏
I think it is bad that spike was the only one there for buffy(Even if he is bad or good.) he was in love with her from the start. They where the best couple in the show.
This was an amazing video - the music, the visuals, the dialogue - just - I could watch this over and over again. Brava!
You've done an amazing job on this video edit. Thank you!! I love Buffy & Spike together. 💕
Beautifully done! I'm glad there's still new Spuffy videos around ♥️
They should have ended up together no questions about it there relationship really did have more passion and love when buffy said the only time I feel alive or anything is when I'm with spike that should have indicated to her how in love she was for him
In the comics they did end up together I believe
Ya they do.
Yeah in they comics they are together when spike comes back I think it’s season 8 or 10
OMG this is freaking amazing!!!😍😍😍 THE FEELS!!!!😭❤ Freaking FANTASTIC editing for a fantastic ship!
thank you so much!!
Great work. This is s good series from the 90s that can still be enjoyed today. This is a beautiful tribute to the slayer & the champion characters. Thank you for sharing this. - Jennifer my sons mom Burton. 🎉
This video is amazing. No more words. Love like it is, the core of theirs relationship. Thanks GossipVal. Higher level of spuffy fandom
Whoa, this is the most heart-wrenching & beautiful video of these two that i've ever seen! Thanks for making it, wonderful job!
this is beautiful, I'm crying so much omg
No programme since has encapsulated the raw emotion of being human and the pain of living, no woke nonsense, just pure humanity of existing
This edit is so so good!😩❤ I got goosebumps and all and had to rewatch several times. Thanks for making this masterpiece. :,)
That was MAGNIFICENT!
Soooooo brilliantly done!!!!!!! I’ve had this video on repeat because it’s sooooo good! Amazing work!
wow, this was amazing
VAL OH MY GOD THIS IS STUNNING I AM SPEECHLESS
Thank you sm love!! I was just rewatching some of your spuffy vids the other day and now i'm making my own spuffy humor one cause i loved yours sm
Aw man, this hit me hard...time to hit the fanfics again...
I wonder a lot how it would have been different if the Scoobies and even Buffy had seen that he was changing and given him some guidance or encouragement. But instead they just kept telling him he was evil and could never change. Like, do you WANT him to continue to be a monster? Wouldn't it be better if f he weren't? Why not help him with that?
Beautiful edit!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I don't watch this, so I don't know them like you but I was drawn in by your editing. You edit them so beautifully it also makes me want to watch the show but I tried to get past season 1 episode 3 and I couldn't do it. The beauty of the paralleling between them cannot be denied though, I love how you focused on the bond you speak of it's very apparent like Fitzsimmons or Clace. I will never understand why THIS pairing didn't get canon but the bland attempted inspiration of it in another CW show did with little to no development and full on toxic tendencies. This relationship you can see the two of them becoming more with each other and even separately as they're spurred through meeting- aka Twinflames. Like the other two mentioned by name, pairings but hey same people so of course they are haha. Truly astounding edit. The title drew me in, the editing kept me captive.
Thank you! I'm glad you decided to watch this even though you don't watch the show and could still appreciate it and connect it to other pairings! I think you should give Buffy a chance, since you love Reylo as well, I'm sure you would love Spike and Buffy's relationship. I personally started the show on season 5 the first time because I knew that's when Spike became one of the main characters and that's what drew me in! I find the first 3 seasons can be hard to get through, but 4 to 7 are just brilliant and heartbreaking and one of the best things in tv history imo!
Honestly, Season 1 of Buffy is the worst. But if you can try & get past it, the rest of the show more than makes up for it. Season 4 is when it starts to get really good as that is when Spike becomes a main character.
Season 1 is many least loved seasons, I struggled to get past it earlier this year too, when I watched it for the first time, but honnestly ?
Totally worth it. Btvs is a goddamn masterpiece and I'm so invested in the universe (and Spike) that I'll even watch Angel the Series despite my lowkey hatred for the MC. I really don't like Angel, urgh.
I never truly appreciated the cinematography of this show there's some amazing ,iconic shots that convey so much emotion in them
Okaaaaay.... the chills. I love it. I really do. And I love them.
thank you!
Das ist der Wahnsinn! WUNDERSCHÖN!
Ich finde keine Worte, ausser : DANKE
That's insane!
BEAUTIFUL
I have no words, but:
THANK U

Stahp! i was just watching a Ben and Rey edit and then I decided to look up a buffy and spike one before I realized you made the same edits!!! Both were so beautiful and well done!
Extremely well put together!!!
