Spuffy Poll Tiems

[xlivvielockex]

While I have been reading LJ, I haven't been participating much in terms of commenting because of graduate school slash real life. But it seems to me, in my very narrow flist reading, that there has been some debate the past few weeks over Spuffy.

As in do people who ship Spuffy side with Spike more or Buffy more? Do they hate Buffy? Do they hate Spike? Do they woobify Spike too much? I could go on and on. I love seeing these kind of debates, that we are still talking in this fandom about these things.

It really got me to thinking about Spuffy lately as I drive the 90 minutes to and 90 minutes back from campus. This is the poll I came up with, the one that I think really needs to be asked of the Spuffy fandom (and of those who think about Spuffy as a ship, positive or negative)

Pardon my intrusion but Ganya? Giles/Anya?

[josiefier.livejournal.com]

Yep! I regret nothing.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

Nothing to be ashamed of. They are huge on Tumblr. Like seriously, super popular.

I would have loved to see some Giles and Anya in canon. HAWTNESS.

OH WELL THEY HAVE THE AFTERLIFE TO BE HAPPY AND CANON LALALALALALA!

Well, there was that one kiss in Tabula Rasa, which is more than some ships got.

[xlivvielockex.livejournal.com]

It is something to gif and make icons of without manips, which is always a boon for shippers for sure.

It's more than say my lovely Buffy/Clem got for sure!

Seriously? How come I can never find those bits of awesomeness over there? Dammit. I know what I'm doing tomorrow!

I will at least be forever grateful for the kiss in Tabula Rasa and the hair/hand touch in Grave. That's still more than most of my ships get lol.

YES! EXACTLY!! THAT IS EXACTLY MY THOUGHT!! I was convinced I was the only one not upset about that bit in the comics for that very reason! Usually I'll ignore comic canon, but that's one rare case where it actually made me happy.

This one hasn't been updated in a while but there is a lot of good stuff there.

I agree with the "I'm disappointed there was no random sex scene here" macro! But thankies for the link!!

I like G/A. :) I was just asking because I'd never seen those names smooshed together in that way before. *g*

[josiefier.livejournal.com]

YAY! Aw lol, somehow that's pretty much how I've always seen their names since entering that part of the fandom.
