-tweedy
-would suck any dick for a rare book
-upholds a patriarchal power structure until he learns better
-the best thing about him is his ability to contain everything else in this thread

Rupert Giles, part 2: Ripper

-reckless and ready to fight anyone
-fake working class accent
-canonically has tons of sexual stamina
-small issue of soul being promised to a demon

Rupert Giles, part 3: rockstar

-any excuse to wear an earring
-quote from @kelpeigh : “Did he keep his musical skills secret so he could have this one thing for himself away from his kid friends, or because he knew it would end us?”

Rupert Giles, part 4: costumes

-eager, I’ll give him that
-I can’t say much good about the cultural appropriation but at least you can mug him for his candy
-Buffy should have embraced the wizard robe look

-rarely ends well
-laughs at dick jokes

Rupert Giles, part 7: mentor

-I can’t even make fun quips here, he’s just so fucking good

Rupert Giles, part 8: Wishverse.

-trying his best
-I could make several tweets about this episode alone because it is Giles at possibly his most tragic but definitely his hottest
-even thinking about the line “Because it has to be.” is enough to move me to tears

Rupert Giles, part 9: getting some action

-I’ll do more tomorrow but this felt like a good note to go to bed on
-good for him

Rupert Giles, part 10: prom chaperone

-showed up to “guard against hellhounds” but really only here for two reasons: to eat the finger foods and to dunk on Wesley

Rupert Giles, part 11: concussed

-has a tendency to get knocked on the head
-considers, as I do, that being conscious is an achievement worth celebrating
-leave him alone

Rupert Giles, part 12: artist

-I would kill someone to see the rest of Giles’ sketchbook
-I would kill ANOTHER someone to see him drawing the projector slides from Hush
-the less we talk about his attempts at communication with Chao-Ahn, the better

Rupert Giles, part 13: weapons & tools

-this is where his Gryffindor streak shines a bit but you can’t say he’s not a problem solver
-

Rupert Giles, part 14: masterful eye rolls
-kinda hard to capture in still images but I did my best
-he’s perpetually and fundamentally done with the Youths

Rupert Giles, part 15: fyarl demon

-has a little tail, it hurts when he sits
-really drove up his insurance rates
-indulges in his desires more than usual

Rupert Giles, part 16: murderer.

-after spending the whole series taking his glasses off to avoid seeing what everyone is doing HE PUTS ON HIS GLASSES BEFORE HE DOES IT
-one of the most significant moments for his character, it says so much about his “greater good” morality
