I'm dumb...

Spike's comment on being similar to Angel: "we have comPLETEly different colouring" (or similar).
Spike, honey, the big rainbow bus of repression pulled up upside, the driver thinks you have issues with Angel...
Cannot wait to see Magic Bullet. Where's Glenn? (Who I love and adore, even more so if I can download stuff at his house)

*SNERK* That's my second-favorite line!
on 2003-04-17 08:22 am (UTC)Dude, they're more similar than Spike REALIZES, 'cause usually the only people who NOTICE people's coloring are those who "have, like, a gay man's taste!" *snerksnerksnerk*
I'm not a slasher, per se, but I *do* think that Angel is THE male figure/father figure in Spike's life, and that's why Spike so very much hates him/looks up to him/wants to be like him/wants to be as unlike him as possible. (also think that Spike's weirdcoolweird snarky camaraderie/conflict relationship with Giles has to do with Giles being the other male/father figure in Spike's life, compounded, complicated, and made slightly incestuous by the fact that Giles is also Buffy's father substitute)
This is why I would give a gazillion dollars and possibly my womanly virtue to see Souled!Spike go over to "Angel" for the long-term or at least for a few episodes, because (SPOILERY invisotext for "Angel") after Angel loses/gives up Connor he will have the big heap o' "I'm a baaaaad faaaaaather because I gave up/lost my son, which I did because I'm a baaaaad faaaaaather!" Catholic guilt. And what better to play off that than the reintroduction of Angel's surly snarky pseudoson who Angel 'Did Wrong By' when he was a badass vampire and who's now got souled-guilt just like Daddy, providing Angel with both a constant reminder of his Bad!Father Failures and a constant opportunity for Fatherly Redemption? Sweeeeeeeeeeeet, man. *bounces*
