The thing about Spuffy, you can plop them in any world and they will find their way to each other. One thing they will always be: extraordinary. One thing they will never be: boring. Find all works here: shorturl.at/iEgsB

It being the last day before we kick off spooky season (and begin our 20 year celebration), Moloch decided to choose violence. The site is down currently, but your administrators have called in an exorcist (or a technopagan) to perform a ritual cleansing. Please standby.

29 years ago, Spike barreled his way into Sunnydale and changed the Buffyverse forever. They accidentally telegraphed so much in this episode, you'd think they knew what they had planned for these two. It was all a happy accident, and we were never the same. Happy 29 years of School Hard!

It's also Ask a Stupid Question Day. To save you the trouble, the answer is yes. Yes, Spuffy is endgame.

It's School Hard Eve! Hope you've been good beasties, monsters, slayers, and fiends so you get a few verses of poetry rather than a spike through the head. Be sure to set out a plate of spicy buffalo wings by your town welcome sign.

26 years ago, we learned the following: - Buffy has to hunt to get her rocks off - Buffy is a Dracula fangirl - Dracula is a Buffy fangirl - Dracula owes Spike £11 (and Spike isn't even charging interest) Happy 26 years of Buffy vs. Dracula!

It's National Comic Book Day, which means we're celebrating the Spuffy relationship the canon comics gave us. 🥹

Comic panel featuring Buffy leaving Spike behind in an internment camp so she can do good on the outside. Spike tells her not to worry; Buffy's like pshaw, dummy. He tells her he loves her and she starts to say it back but he asks her to wait and tell him when they see each other again

24 years ago, the final season of Buffy premiered on UPN and we (along with Buffy) received our first glance at souled Spike. We also got to see Buffy's endless capacity for forgiveness in action for the millionth time. She truly is the character of all time. Happy 24 years of Lessons!

Today is First Love Day, so we're going to take a moment to appreciate how Buffy and Spike's first loves irrevocably shaped them, for better and for worse. Both were foundational and life-changing; an Angel-less Buffy would not be the Buffy Summers we adore, and a Dru-less Spike even less so.

29 years ago today, When She Was Bad gave fans a preview of Season 6. Buffy struggled hard to reconcile with the fact that she had been dead, even for 5 minutes. That her friends didn't anticipate it after she'd been dead 5 months (147 days = 5 months) is…telling.

Our current features explore what happens when someone's deepest fear becomes reality. We know Buffy Summers as the Vampire Slayer. But what if she became a slayer who is also a vampire? And how would a renowned slayer killer like Spike take the news? Find all here: linktr.ee/elysianfieldsarchive

In addition to her incredible legacy in the entertainment industry, never mind the money, time, and resources she poured into her advocacy work, Dolly Parton is one of the reasons we have Buffy. She was a part of our family, and the world is darker without her in it.

Kicking off Be Kind to Humankind Week with a Buffy Summers appreciation post. She who was kind to her friends, even if they hurt her, to vampires (well, okay, two, but two who had also hurt her), and even robots. May we all endeavor to be more like Buffy in all our interactions. #buffysummers

"Love isn't brains, children, it's blood. Blood screaming inside you to work its will." William Pratt might've been a bad poet, but Spike absolutely was not. So we will celebrate him (again) this week — this time for National Poet's Day. #spuffy
