Spike's stuff

Oct 23 2009 09:36 pm   #1sosa lola
What does Spike have in his crypt? I remember the bed, couch and TV, but did they show other items? Books, vases, nightstands.. etc

And did he end up stealing something from Xander in S4?

Books, records, chest, candles, nightstand with a  lamp, I want to say...fridge, bar, crates, chair (was there really a couch?  Cause I don't recall that...)

Hope that helps.

I think Anya gave him one of Xander's lamps? Don't know if Xander took it back or not...it was in "Yoko Factor," I'm pretty sure when she gave the home warming gift.

Couple thousand candles, a statue of a woman, a couple of urns by the door, that cool red circular lounging chair in the basement, oriental rugs.  There's a weird gate or fence on the first floor.  I don't think there's a couch - it's a single (greenish?) chair in front of the TV.    And, of course the mannequin with the blonde wig.  He keeps his blood in a glass mason jar. 

Xander took the lamp back.  In Once More with Feeling, you get a down shot of the whole first floor, which is weirdly wrong.

Just watched "Intervention" the other day, and there's a red and black footstool in front of the arm chair(yes, it's green) upstairs, and there's also a small, wooden end table. There are two sarcophagi upstairs.  He sleeps and sits on them sometimes.  There are some sconces on the walls and a couple of stone benches.  In "Gone," there's a rather ugly lamp on the bar and another by the bed.  Um...that's all I can think to add.  Oh!  Don't forget the skulls and bones. ;)

Spike also has some graphics on his small fridge -

Thank you so much, guys. I guess I thought he had a couch because I remember Joyce sitting next to him in Checkpoint.

Hahah  Mr. Badass makes Buffy's mom sit on the arm of the chair.

They do sit side by side, but they are each sitting on an armrest -

My impression of Spike's crypt is that it is much like the Summers house - it can change depending on the need of the episode or scene.  Not saying that I've watched and taken notes of every season in which he lived there, but that's the overall impression I'm left with.  And, of course it changed somewhat from season to season as he added and subtracted things.

Interesting that it changes the most during the summer that she's dead.  By the time she is brought back, he has it all fixed up.

I think he needed something else to keep himself busy.  That, and...he probably made it more at home (and this is a fanwank here) because it's possible Dawn visited often.  I mean, planning a resurrection would take a good long while, I'm sure, so there were probably many nights when the Scoobies were busy.  Or, Dawn would just pop on over when she felt like it, like in s5, and maybe Spike felt like he owed it to her to make it look/feel more like a home, since hers was "broken."

*nods* Good point, Scarlet.  I'm sure that was a factor.

Maybe it was Dawn that helped make it more home-y.

Hey, guys, do you know where Spike's fridge is? Upstairs or downstairs?

Pretty sure it's upstairs, sosa.
