Sanity is overrated anyway. I'll be over here, getting lost in my fandoms. :)

 

I believe that Spike has a certain amount of respect and affection for Joyce, born from the fact that Spike was human once and he was a sweet, kinda nerdy, love-poetry writing little victorian boy. His mother was the most important person in his life and her death made Spike terrible and cruel . But that’s what make him so unique , contrary to other vampires who lose their humanity , Spike kept it . His actions are driven by human emotions and it consumes him. He may be dead, but Spike is the quintessential human.

He seeks Joyce , a motherly figure , for comfort after his break up , talks to her and even laughes with her. He feels accepted around her. Her death affected him whereas in theory it shouldnt. To understand Spike , you have to understand William. They are not opposite , just two sides of the same coin.

“Care? Joyce was the only one of the lot of you that I could stand ! She was decent. She didn’t put on airs. She also had a nice cuppa for me .And she never treated me like a freak.”

I grew up really believing that God was on my parents’ side and that any of my intuitions, desires, or feelings that didn’t conform to theirs had to be straight from hell. Mom and Dad sincerely desired “God’s best” for me, but I don’t remember their ever having any doubts about what “God’s best” might be, let alone sharing those doubts with me. No matter how much I achieved in those days, no matter how bright or articulate, wise or experienced I became, if my opinions differed from theirs, mine were automatically wrong in their sight and, so their comments implied, wrong in the sight of God as well.
