A Great Big Thank You to all the wonderful Mods, now and former, one for another round of Seasonal Spuffy and the same to all the participants.  You all have given the Spuffy Fans years of wonderful stories, graphics, poems and vids to enjoy and created one of the best Spuffy Fan Events of all.

The last one and one that fills my little Spuffy Heart with a Big Happy – I Love Spuffy and Buffy and Spike.  My sister used these quote on her Memory Candle for her husband which is a variation on the Michael Jackson Love Lives Forever.  You can see my Dia costume over at my LJ page –  Hope you enjoy my Ofrendas.

My Day and it’s a holiday/ritual tradition that I love for Buffy and Spike – it’s about keeping my love for these characters and the series always in my heart.  My Seasonal Spuffy Dia de Los Muertos Ofrenda.

First one is for one the central theme of this observance – travel through the portal from The Underworld to the Human World which for Buffy and Spike is also fundamental – both spiritual and emotional and physical.

Under the Influence – For Her

comlodge

Title: For Her
Creator: comlodge
Characters: Spike/Buffy
Medium: Artwork – Icons, Banner, Wallpaper
Rating: G
Prompt: Round 21 Under the Influence
Disclaimer: All belong to their orginal owners
A/N: As soon as I read the theme for this round I knew what I would do. I did however get All Saints Day and All Souls Day confused and had found this wonderful image through google to use because I thought I was doing All Souls Day – silly girl! I liked it too much not to use it, placing Buffy’s eyes bright and clear within it. If Joan of Arc is considered a saint I think Buffy the Vampire Slayer is most certainly a warrior saint and Spike is her chivalric Knight Errant and for her he changed his world.

Manip – Blackout Poems

nmcil12

The script I worked from is Beneath You – one of my all time favorite episodes of the entire series and one of the finest performances of James Marsters and Sarah Michell Gellar.  Hope you like the poems I came up with – I plan on doing others.   I did not have the time to do the third one – I wanted to do the final “can we rest now” section – no time.

Once again I was reminded of how different the shooting scripts and the final episodes were – the superb church scene, which as I understand was worked on by Joss Whedon, is so different.  With no intent to belittle the script created by Douglas Petrie – the final church scene takes on the quality of a soul in torment and chaos reaching out to the mercy of devine intervention which for Spike is Buffy which eventually becomes their cleansing and joining in Chosen.

Congratulations to all the participants for another outstanding Seasonal Spuffy.  Again, Thank You to all the administrators for all the work you do for the Spuffy fans.

Thanks to thenewbuzwuzz for starting me on my “script excerpts”  – not as exciting as the “blackout poems” but it’s a start for moving forward.  The text is taken for Fool For Love and while they are spoken to Cecily – the theme is fundamental to the Spuffy relationship.

Flames – Free for All Day

633480_original.jpgTitle: Flames
Creator: comlodge
Characters: Buffy and Spike – of course
Rating: R – sexual themes – explicit sexual descriptions in story. Images are worksafe.
Medium: Fanvid/Podcast – Artwork – Banners and Wallpapers
Disclaimer: For fun and entertainment only
Summary: Yes folks. Something completly different for me. Comlodge has read her naughty little fic, a sensual Spuffy interlude during their full on S6 affair. It’s a podcast recorded as a video showing several pieces by comlodge herself that do not necessarily match the timing of the story line. They are pretty though. The music is Gympoiedia by Incompetech. The images are included after the video. The video is set to adults only on youtube. I might add, that it is dashed hard recording yourself reading even a short story, lol. Fun though. The video was uploaded in high def and is best viewed full screen if you wish to study the images. Just saying. :D

Not your average couple….

For my posting day for this round, I present two banners with wallpapers, Warm Chanpagne and Leather and Leather, under the cut. Totally worksafe. Here is a bunch of icons made from the two pieces. Feel free to snag any, be inspired to write stories or already have a story they’d suit. Happy to personalise if required.

I’ve written a bit about my process after the images, for anyone interested. My goal here was to create a tribute to the comics using screen caps. So a combination of paint, photorealistic and drawing.

And now we have this New Era Spuffy relationship – Buffy and Spike have indeed taken a new path – now we have to see where Joss Whedon, Christos Gage and Dark Horse is taking them.  One thing for sure – the Spuffy relationship will always be explored with depth, respect, love and by the outstanding fanfiction writers by each writer’s quest to seek their truths about the Spuffy relationship.
