I'm just sayin' Spike didn't know a lot about the kind of love Zoe and Wash had.
Not a bone of contention.
But so what, though?

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

Like totally, eh? The blood stuff subsides some, and you need to fill it in with other stuff, like affection and respect and shared experiences and interests. Spike wasn't so much with the knowing what the fuck any of that stuff might be, except as a panties-crowbar.

Hey now. Have you had a longer relationship than Dru/Spike?

Since I was alive for all of mine, I'd have to say yes.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe Spike's right, but that kind of...craving has been kind of outside my experience. To my knowledge, I don't even have a Krakow. But I still think I've been in love. Am I wrong? Was it not the real thing? And this post is kind of Bitchy, huh?
