This weekend, I uncovered what might be the greatest mystery of all time:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
What I figured was, someone, probably several someones, would answer my tweet and I would get my answer and that would be the end of it. And at first, that looked like the case:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Okay, that’s what I thought,” I says to myself, I says. But then:<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Well, now I don’t know what to believe,” I think to myself, because I watched “A New Man,” the episode where Giles turns into a demon (I’m a Buffy\/Giles shipper and that one is full of “proof,” okay?) and not only does Demon!Giles trash his apartment, but that’s the “new apartment” I had been thinking of in the first place.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Things started getting weirder when people started remembering different times that Giles got a new apartment:<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As you can see by the time stamps, this discussion has gone on for days now.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Still, a lot of people insisted that Giles never got a new apartment:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
So, how did some of us come to the conclusion that he moved? Especially when many of us are all so certain?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here’s a shot of the apartment during season two, from the episode “Passion”:\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Not pictured: Me, making out with Giles on that uncomfortable looking couch.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
And here’s a picture of it from the season 4 episode, “Pangs”:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Pictured: Way too much pointless brooding.<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
If you look past depressionsweatpants!Giles and sad!Angel (also known colloquially as just, you know, Angel), you can see it’s the same damn apartment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But I swear, I swear on my soul, that at some point, in some line of dialogue, someone mentions Giles’s new apartment. Clearly, the only way I’m going to be satisfied is if I watch every single episode and get to the bottom of this.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While I’m doing that (and sewing until my fingers fall off, because YAY CHRISTMAS!), please to be enjoying the following, which is my favorite Buffy\/Giles fic of all time. It’s rated G, so don’t worry about clicking on it and getting a landslide of smut or anything:\u00a024, by Jacqui<\/a>. Feel free to share any recs you might have, I know other B\/Gers are out there. And don’t forget to swing by yesterday’s post for tons of cute animal links in the comments.<\/div>\n

When I have our answer to this mystery, oh, you best expect I’ll be updating this post.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
