Favorite TBFP/SBFP Moments
I’ll never forget when @acautiouscat introduced me to them - thank you so much for doing so! This was during their first season on Machima, and my first impression was, “They’re funny!” And I got their voice-faces mixed up with their face-faces.
I ended up really enjoying Matt and Pat’s videos, and their dynamic - they’re still my favorite duo in the channel and I think their LP chemistry is unmatched - and I have watched and/or listened to TBFP/SBFP at least once a week. I’ve re-watched some of their videos so many times I’ve lost track.
I was so upset when I heard about their channel ending, but as it’s for the best for all of them, I completely understand why they ended it. I’m the most heartbroken over Matt and Pat’s friendship dissolving, but I’m hoping that with time and distance apart, they can eventually reconcile.
Even if that doesn’t happen, there are so many great times they had together - along with Woolie and Liam - that I can only thank them for all the hilarious, fun, creative content they’ve put out, getting me into a few games, and though they didn’t know it, helping me get through a difficult time in my life in 2014.
Here are my favorite Two Best Friends Play/Super Best Friends Play moments throughout the years:
Random quotes
[Pat rages about the dodge move and demanding that Matt tell him what it is] Matt: Hey, look at all that Okami art on the walls! Pat: Wait really? Oh, how ‘bout that. [Launches back into badgering Matt over the dodge move] (Final Fight: Streetwise | Full LP)
Pat: Go left. Go left. Go LEEEEEEEFT. No, your other left. (I think this is from the Silent Hill: Downpour LP, but I can’t be sure). - @acautiouscat and I still say this all the time when I’m driving
Matt: Here’s another episode of Pat talking awkwardly to a girl. [He’s] about to play Bayonetta and Pat’s all like, ‘Did you know that Bayonetta runs at 60 frames per second? Did you play Xenogars?” and she like, “Ah, yeah.” (Two Best Friends Play E3 (Day 1 Montage)
Woolie: THE PHOOOOOOONE - (Indigo Prophecy)
Pat: I’M SO FUCKING BUTTHURT OVER THESE FUCKING CHOMP-CHOMPS!... THEY’RE ALWAYS DEAD CENTER IN THE FUCKING THING! (Super Best Friends Brawl: Mario Kart)
Pat: No, no Matt! We’re friends! We’re best friends! Matt: There’s not a single thing you’ve ever done for me. Pat: I think I bought you movie tickets once! - (Worms 2: Armaggedon)
Pat: So I’m gonna tell that story we were talking about... and you asked me to not scream at you for bad ghost controls anymore. Matt: It would be nice... that you could not scream at me in a game where the walls have no boundaries and I’ve never played it before. Pat: So it’s a little combination of... picking up the Spawn controller, or just where I’m getting mad at you and then I realized what’s happening - those game controls are terrible! Matt: They could be better. Pat: And you also forgot that I apologized to you. In the same sitting! Matt: After me - it’s very rare, but it happens and I appreciate that. Pat: I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re bad. Woolie: A little reminiscent of when I got bitched out for bad ghost controls in another game. Pat: Yeah, you know what? You don’t... no. No. That was atrocious. (Con Bravo 2014)
Pat: It’s fiiiiiine, it’s fine, it’s fine.
[Matt dies laughing over Scientist Heather] Pat: Yeah, I knew you’d like that. (Silent Hill 3)
[Matt sings “Some Kind of Monster”] Matt: You’re gonna look up all the titles, aren’t you? Pat’s picking up his phone so he can look up all the titles and make fun of them. I’m not gonna stop him. Pat: You fucking knew so good. (Silent Hill 3)
Pat: As a Jedi, Obi-Wan and Quan Chi.... [Matt has to pause the screen because they’re laughing so hard it’s almost silent] Matt: My glasses are fogging up (Ride to Hell: Retribution)
Matt: You okay, d’you hit yourself? Pat: Oh, no, it’s just... that’s a lot of big scares today. (Home Sweet Home 3/3)
[Liam correctly answers an NPC’s question and Matt is impressed] Matt: If I asked Pat, he’d just be like DUHHHH TANK CONTROLS!!! (Pat misses tank controls 04:57)
Pat: No, I’m gonna make this decision and I’m gonna choose... Beyond. ‘Cause fuck that guy. Matt: Yeah, give up. Woolie: Yeah, YEAH, YEAH! (Beyond: Two Souls)
Matt: PREGGO JOHN THE IMMORTAL HEDGEHOG (Sonic Dreams)
Matt: Well, after months and months of begging and crying, I said, “Fine guys. We’ll play ‘The Punisher.’” Pat: Yeah, that’s how that happened. Matt: That’s how that happened! Pat: Yeah, I came to you, and I said, “Matt, I’ll suck your dick if you do a Punisher game with me,” and you were like, ‘No.” Matt: I said, “I’ll do that anyway. Pat: Yeah. Wait, what? Matt: Woolie’s here! Woolie: Pleading was involved. Pat: Pleading was involved. (The Punisher)
Matt: Well... At least we have each other. Pat: Oh, shut up!

Fantasy Fragments #1
The Hero & The Elf
NOTES: Rough plot/ideas dump. Inspired by K-Webtoon, Pygmalion. Fantasy AU. Elf!Aizawa x Hero!Toshi. Top!Might -> Bottom! Might. Bottom!Zawa -> Top!Zawa.
Special thanks to @acautiouscat for putting up with me allowing me to vent my ideas in an entire email 😅🙏
....
While on one of his missions, Toshi is introduced to Aizawa. The person introducing Aizawa tells Toshi he's an asset to the mission and that they should travel together. Along the way, of course with the natural passage of time and their companionship, they fall for each other.
But of course Aizawa has no experience with intimacy, so Toshi (being popular among both sexes) teaches him intimacy (here, Toshi tops).
Yet, that's the only opportunity they have for intimacy, as they soon arrive to their destination, complete the mission and eventually part ways.
Yet, both of them are reluctant to go separate ways without knowing how to find each other. They're also both dense. So, even though it bothers the both of them, they depart with a simple goodbye.
Years later, a villain (AFO) invades Toshi's homeland and even though Toshi manages to fend him off, he also mysteriously disappears. Some citizens think he's dead. Some say he's watching over them unseen. Some go as far as spreading rumors about him defecting to the villain's side.
Dave, being Toshi's best friend, refuses to consider any of the rumors. He hires the elves to search out Toshi (because of the elves' intricate networking system, their superior senses, etc) and the mission falls on Aizawa (maybe he volunteers himself because he knows him).
Eventually, Aizawa encounters Toshi again. Though, he barely recognizes him because when Toshi finished off AFO, AFO placed a curse on him and turns him into an old, frail man (smolMight). Toshi is reluctant to return to his homeland because he's ashamed of the way he looks, and wants the citizens to remember him in his youth and glory.
There's some unresolved tension between them too. But Toshi also doesn't initiate anything with Aizawa. So Aizawa in a way becomes the initiator eventually (so Aizawa tops). Aizawa also finds out that Toshi keeps a distance because after his faceoff with AFO and the curse, he has some PTSD that affects him physiologically (coughEDcough).
I should mention here that elves also have a longer life span than humans. So later on, Aizawa finds a way (Elder Nezu? 🤔😂) to split his time on earth with Toshi. So their lives are bonded through a certain pact. They now share the same lifespan.
And even though Toshi's life gets an extension, he's still somewhat disappointed that he didn't regain his youthful appearance....
...And that Aizawa remains as top 😏
....
Thank you for reading this ideas dump 😅 Perhaps this will be further developed/elaborated upon in the artbook. We shall see 🤔
And if I may include a bonus for my ultra cool, hardworking buddy...
(Yes, I do have ulterior motives for drawing Panther!Zawa and Leopard!Toshi besides wanting to make them into acrylic charms 😈 *coughInstinctcough* 😂 No pressure 😏)
