See, love isn't brains, children, it's blood, blood screaming inside you to work its will.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, you're going to take Spike's word on it, Ms. Never Been In Love?

Look, I got no beef with never having been in love (I told him that I loved him.. and I kissed him.. and I killed him.) Let's get real.
Those who can, do -- those who can't? Diagnose.

I'm just sayin' Spike didn't know a lot about the kind of love Zoe and Wash had. Which definitely had some blood, but had some other stuff too.

Not a bone of contention.
But so what, though?

Well, not much really. It's just that Spike's statement is categorical, and I thought (in that regard) that it was lacking.
I'm sure a Zombie!Spike would give the same speech, except insist that "Love is Brainnnnnnssss, children..."

Let me go ring Spike up and you can have an argument with him.

What is even happening?
I am missing something I think, ita. I read your citation of Spike's definition as if you agree with it.
I think blood is part of it, but not the only part, and probably not the biggest part of it, just the most immediate one.

It was a hyperbolic but relevant cut and paste from the quote in the top right corner to underscore the "you can't force it, you can't think it, you feel it" POV which I do stand by.
You want anything more on those precise words, you gotta take it up with him.

He's all immature and stuff. And schmoopy.
