#oh god spike and giles in the same space there is nothing i love more #every time they both say something english they feel community in amongst all these americans #which they both instantly hate (via ceceliatallis)
#i love that little exchange #a tiny reminder of the weird parallels between those two #giles is what spike used to be and spike is what giles used to be (via the-elusive-ollie)
“Giles is what Spike used to be and Spike is what Giles used to be.” God, I knew, but never put it together. Brain hurts now.
i like how it’s true even tho spike is 200 years old and very dead
Yes. And they share more than Englishness here. A specific type of educated English background (probably literary, rather than theatrical) that was probably old-fashioned when Spike was still alive.
