i'm sure it sadly won't get as much attention as the doom and gloom narrative from last night, but i thought biden's speech today in north carolina was really strong and he seems normal to me

I just finished watching Buddy Daddies and uhh.... super not okay with it just... being over like that? How can you produce such an amazing, heart-felt, funny, emotional and brilliant show with characters you fall head-over-heels in love with, only give us twelve episodes in season 1, and then throw us straight into a time skip at the end of ep 12 with the intentions of ending the show there??
I am all for shows not dragging things out longer than they need to and absolutely killing off things I love/d (yeah Grey's, SPN, looking at you) but I feel like Buddy Daddies has so much more to offer and the fact that it has completely captivated audiences demonstrates how loved and needed this show is?
Ngl pals, I actually kinda feel like... heartbroken and disappointed? I feel like the final three episodes could have even been an entire season on their own - giving Rei's backstory + character arc, the stuff with Miri's mum, and Kazuki and Rei's development space to actually breathe. And that's not even mentioning the time skip stuff??
I feel deeply conflicted over thissssss. I'm hoping maybe that the creators will see how beloved the show has become in such a short space of time and reconsider their stance on no S2. Rei's father hints that the organization will never leave Rei alone so I feel like there's still a lot that can be explored, there's plenty more antics the family can get themselves into, and Kazuki + Rei have further growing to do. But this could also actually just be all we get, which I suspect might be the case? And if it is I will be deeply sad bc this kind of found family healing alongside each other is exactly the kind of shit I need in my life
(also yes I know I can write fic about this and I probably fucking will at this point, but also I don't want to have to create it myself and want to actually see/hear/experience our lil family, and obvs there's not even a manga I can turn to in my hour of distress)

what do you love most about Tyland and Daenys?
It's about the foundation their relationship is built on.
Second son & second daughter (who was not the longed for son) who want & yearn, but not for what their siblings have, not really. They both crave significance, to matter as much as Jason or Rhaenyra do. But society doesn't allow that for them without taking it...and then if they take the wrong thing they get punished by their peers & history alike. Tyland does this by being the most employed Lannister of all time even though Vizzy at least seemingly ignores him (seriously, I don't think we see a single moment where this man's reports are taken seriously), & Daenys does this by playing by (& gaming) the rules of the patriarchal, feudal society. They should be rewarded for this...right? "Why am I not being rewarded for this by getting exactly what I'm owed/want?"
So they seek refuge in each other because of this common ground & because "Oh my God you, see me. You appreciate me. You think I'm the cool sibling!" First as friends, then as Very Obviously In Love And Pining, then as Lovers In A Secret Marriage, then actual public spouses. They're both appreciated without any kind of caveats or clauses or unspoken rules, & because of that they actually let themselves be casual around each other. Like, I'm pretty sure Tyland is one of, like, 3 people Daenys never goes into hysterics to try & manipulate.
