I DO NOT BUY THE ANGEL/ANGELUS CRAP AT ALL. I'm also not entirely convinced we're supposed to. But it does make Buffy fandom something of a nightmare sometimes. The Angel v.s. Spike hypocrisy, namely. And how Spike and Buffy/Spike fans get shit thrown at us for being ~rape apologists~ or whatever the fuck when Angel did EVEN WORSE THINGS WITHOUT A SOUL TOO. (And now this crap is happenin' all over again in TVD fandom and I just. cannot. even.)
I LOVE BOTH DAMON AND SPIKE TOO. Favourites. But total word that Damon would take ~offence, lol. The key distinction between the two is that Damon does not sign up to the "bad boy will be saved by the love of a good woman" shtick at all (whereas it took 6 seasons for Spike to snap out of that type of thinking).
