can't believe an anime called buddy daddies did not end up being, in fact, just a silly little comedy of two hitmen raising a child together but instead an actual heartwarming, well written show about (re)learning to love and to be loved, about how the meaning of family goes way beyond blood and no matter how unconventional it may be, it's still as perfect and valid because it's yours and you wouldn't trade it for anything else
i have twenty people to do what you used to do for me. i hope you think i'm important. i hope you're jealous. i hide from them and cry on the phone to you. then we're hiding together and i finally get you to do what i say again. my fist in your hands. now there's no coffee and the food is wrong and you still don't get it so i have to scream it. i don't want them. i want you.
Where Character A would prefer not to have kids and Character B would really prefer if they have 3 so they could grow up with a support system
Where later down the line when it’s getting serious, Character A still doesn’t want kids and stresses themself out about giving their lover what they want; and Character B hits them with:
“I want kids but not at the expense of not having you. I’m willing to wait until you're ready and if you truly don't want any, then we'll spend our lives with only each other.”
AND I FUCKING SOB BC B IS SUCH A GOOD PERSON AND THEYRE WILLING TO GIVE UP ONE OF THEIR MAJOR GOALS BC THEY LOVE A MORE THAN THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE IT

“Making Heartstopper was an extraordinarily important thing for me, in terms of my life and my identity. Being surrounded by strong, confident, queer people - I can’t tell you how empowering it is.”
