You were just a bartender—until a portal dropped you into a world of magic. Now, your cocktail skills blend potions like no one’s ever seen. Healing with a twist of lime. Fireballs with a salted rim. You don’t cast spells. You serve them.

"Uhh Captain? Don't go that way, we're all gonna die."

"Why do you say that?"

"because that thing is staring at us and the longer I look at it the weirder it gets"

You were born with a unique set of eyes, ones that allowed you to view the sea as clear as glass. By the time you got old enough to join your ship’s crew, you were smart enough to know not to tell them about everything you saw below the waves.

Here's what I want:

I want some very nice German man to go on TV and say, "Yeah, we have heard about President Trump and his tariffs, but we know that only the United States congress can issue such a thing. These executive orders are not... as you say... legal. They cannot be enforced. So, we will... ignore them. If the United States wants to try to ignore its own laws? Well, it has no holding. The markets are not beholden to one man. We will watch and see how the congress handles it, yeah?"

And then I want every single other country to follow suit.

The president of the United States cannot levy tariffs. Only congress can do that. It's in the Constitution.

Call the fucker out. Mock him. Ignore his bullshit.

The Princess Diaries

So. Not a very well-known fact is that I ADORE The Princess Diaries. Movies, I mean. We'll discuss the books if anyone actually wants to hear me talk about it. There's so many things that I just love about this movie. Mia and her mom live in an old firehouse. Their trash cans are tie-dye. Their neighboor won an Emmy. Helen actually supports Mia and Mia feels safe enough to show her emotions, which is a really good thing because that means Mia knows from experiance that her mom wasn't going to judge her. Mia hates public speaking, which is a big charecter flaw for a princess. Also when Mia gets sick someone shouts "Cover the tuba!" implying that Mia has barfed in a tuba before. Mia, as in-character for a girl who hates public speaking and out-right says "My goal in life is to be invisible. And I'm good at it." (I may have gotten that wrong, fact check it...) Mia wiggling her eyebrows and nose in the mirror, which honestly, didn't we all? When she slides down the fireman pole, turns, sees her mom and grandmother, and then turns back to the pole saying "Oh this is a nightmare, I'm going back to bed!". Which, like, real. I'd honestly be delighted to be told I'm a princess and then relize that to paraphrase Clariesse, it's a real job and also that's like thousands of people looking up to you and you're leading a country so for anyone who tries to come at me with the idea that Mia's reaction was unrealistic may I remind you that the clearly states she's not a leader. For most of Mia's life she's been a follower, blending into the background. Maybe a little too much, somebody literally sat on her. Mia gets her grandmother to contribute to fixing her car. She works at a rock-climbing place, which, may I just say, I cannot rock-climb for the life of me, and I am in admiration of this girl who can. Mia is awkward and clumsy and acts like an actual person. She doesn't want to stand out, she wants to just live. also. the fact that they call Mia's car the stang kills me.

Ok but hear me out:

Nico's Italian right? So if he were to naturally swear it would most definitely be in italian. But he's also from the 1930s/40s so he wouldnt swear, he was raised better than that.

But Will is a country boy (even if Austin, Texas isn't very country (or so I've heard, I'm British, I have no idea), Naomi is and you can't tell me other wise) and has lived in camp with little to no adult guidance for ages. Sooo he should have a very potty mouth.

So while Will cusses like a sailor, you have his boyfriend saying 'fiddle sticks' in italian.

Unrelated note: Did you know that the italian equivalent of by golly/by Jove is giurabbacco which, I kid you not, literally translates to 'I swear by Bacchus'.

So like hypothetically:

[In the dining pavilion]

A very tired Will: *drops something* F**[*insert colourful language here*]

Little 1930s-Catholic-raised Nico: *in utter shock and whispering* ...you swear so much...giurabbacco

Mr D on the other side of the pavilion: yes?

NO BUT WHAT IS THE RED LINES ON HIS SHIRT FOR?! It's not blood, obviously, unless the wound isn't bleeding and if it was scabbed over it would be less of a vibrant red. if it was blood it would be dripping and it wouldn't be in neat lines like that it would be more pooling and look like puddles. So, obviously, it's either dyed or stitched on, in which case we have to wonder why.

wait I just checked the episode for reference and it almost looks like someone sliced him with a knife but the fabric isn't noticeably ripped or repaired where those (hypothetical??) 'wounds' are so he was shirtless, got hurt, and then put on a shirt and this was probably right before the scene we got because while the blood seems to be sleeping into his shirt it hasn't puddled yet and he's constantly clutching at his shirt like a...

oh

oh fuck

he's a damsel in distress

OR MAYBE IM WRONG BECAUSE IN THE LITERAL NEXT SCENE THE 'WOUNDS' LOOK LIKE SOMEONE DYED THAT SPOT OF THE SHIRT A VERY BRIGHT RED. BUT ALSO HE PUT HIS HAND DRAMATICALLY OVER IT SO GOD AND PUNKO KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING THERE.

ok, I am relatively new to this little fandom but I binged Cinderella boy and I'm just wondering... did everyone forget about that one part where buddy has this dream and he's in ragged clothes in a fancy manor house? Like, no wonder the man likes looking fancy. if that's Ex Libris and that's how they keep him, of course he likes looking good. maybe it's because he doesn't have the chance to otherwise?

also did everyone just forget that bit existed because I'm scrolling through and I'm seeing nothing on buddy seeing chase in the mirror, shattering the mirror, and jumping through. That was deeply impactful and yet I can't figure out what and i've been hyperfixtaing on that for a while now. Can you give me a rant about that bit because I know there's something up there I just cant figure out what, am I the only one who read that part?

This is so funny to me. I'm so happy you got into CB! And I'm so happy you enjoy it! But LMAO I think the Dreams episode broke tumblr--there were so many speculations and it's the basis for like 80% of our Buddy theories! (People analyzing the episode is what caused me to make a tumblr account in the first place, actually!)

(Which! Since you're new to the fandom, I can understand how it might look like we missed it, but I promise--this fandom soaks up Buddy content like it's water and we're in the Sahara)

So since it's a dream, we have to assume a lot of symbolism--we know the outfit Chase wore in his dream was a representation of himself (likely a nod to his repeated selfless, angellic actions, like trying to save Buddy or trying to save his mom), so we can assume the same for Buddy.

He's likely not actually dressed in rags--although we don't have that confirmed, but based off of Chase's fit--but it's possible that he ISNT dressed in the fancier outfit we saw him wear earlier. It's really likely, actually, although we shouldn't discount the possibility that Punko wanted him dressed so simply to reflect how dim/bare his situation is.

Someone (I cant remember who, but if anyone does know, PLEASE @ them bc this was life-changing) pointed out that if that's the case, then Violet would have been making outfits for Buddy the whole time, which would cement Buddy having a good relationship with his key well before Chase. We can assume Buddy has a good relationship with Violet anyway, since she makes him outfits he likes, but still.

The rags also serve another purpose: it reminds us that Buddy is ALSO a protag. That's what Chase realizes, in his dream, and it's what we have to keep in mind when we read the chapters. Buddy's not a side character, nor an antagonist. This is his story, too, and he's trying to secure his own happy ending, just like Chase.

(The title of the Webtoons is Cinderella Boy--and in that episode, between Chase and Buddy, only Buddy looks like Cinderella. Another nod to his true role as a protag, and another reason why we need to treat his attire with caution.)

What the dream DEFINITELY confirms is that Buddy has a bad relationship with Ex Libris. There's really no plausible alternative--from how frantic he is to escape, and how afraid he is of being caught. Beach Boys set the question of whether or not Buddy's in a bad spot with Ex Libris, but we didn't know how truthful he was.

We still don't, really, since he still hasn't told us, 'cause he's a paranoid asshole that we tragically love. But this episode laid some facts: Buddy is definitely in a bad situation, regardless of the specifics.

Plus, the final scene of him throwing the clock at the mirror, effectively destroying the reflection of Chase--clocks are often a representation of time. He's running out of time. There's a time limit, somewhere, but we don't know anything except that the clock's ticking.

(Someone else pointed out the clocks/time thing before me. I swear, I will hunt these @s and give proper citations.)

His escape via the mirror likely refers to his real motive: Buddy wants to escape, and he's aware his escape is going to involve, to some extent, harming Chase. From here, it's pure speculation: does Buddy need the keys to escape, thus betraying Chase? Does Buddy know something important? Is the mirror, or Buddy's escape, in any way tied to how he finds Chase in the books?

It's VERY likely that the keys are critical to Buddy's escape, due to the lock with 12 keyholes. This would also ensure the plotline of Buddy's strive for the keys remains intact, and would give us another reason for why Buddy was so desperate for Chase's key. HOWEVER, this isn't the only theory, and we know Punko's always two steps ahead.

The episode feels symbolic and important because it IS, but until we know more about Buddy's actual situation, it's hard to really break down what the episode means. I promise, though: the more we learn about Buddy's backstory, the more people (including myself, because i cannot shut up) will refer to that episode to swoon over the foreshadowing Punko brilliantly laid out.

You have been imprisoned for so long that you have completely lost track of time. You are not even sure whether those who imprisoned you are still alive. When finally someone came to check on you they were surprised to find you, claiming that the dungeon has been unused for centuries.
