ITS OVER  😭BD Episode 12 talk/whole series retrospective

I want you to know I was already crying 2 minutes into episode 12 so, I was stable for sure. I’m really glad they wrapped up the threads with them and the organization, that was my biggest concern. I would love to hear other peoples thoughts on why rei’s dad didn’t shoot him at the end, but overall I'm satisfied with that aspect of the show. 

A couple moments really stood out to me though, Rei explaining what he finds important was so sweet and also heartbreaking in it’s simplicity. To know that he finds learning how to make French toast to be a major reason to continue living is so sad. You can really tell how much he was missing in his life, and how  much he loves now. His growth is stellar.

 Ogino’s death was BRUTAL, knife crimes are considered to be more personal and gory because of how close you need to be to your victim to commit them. So the fact that the creepy, last words collector Ogino was killed in a personal crime, rather than being shot (an impersonal crime), was a really nice choice I felt. Plus, rei’s hair was down at the time, in my opinion showing the removal of his “Suwa Heir” persona. Again really nice visual imagery there.

Then the TIME SKIP  😭 😭 😭 😭, I was not expecting that but I really liked it. My only gripe is that it feels like the choice you make when you have no intention to ever make more of a show, which IS fine but just a little sad for those of us who hoped for a season 2. But Miri looks so adorable, Rei looks amazing and Kazuki’s goatee is dumb lol. I won’t really go much into what I think is rei/Kazuki’s canon relationship, because honestly this whole talk of QPR vs regular PR is too much for me. Yes, romance does not have to be a relationships endgame for it to be meaningful, important and life long. But I also don't think people wanting them to be romantic by the end means they’re undermining other types of relationships. Honestly, I don’t think there's enough in BD to say that Kazuki and Rei are in a committed relationship, platonic or not. In terms of canon, I have a feeling they’re just co-parenting, with Rei not being interested in any relationship and Kazuki just not finding one (the man and daughter in your house might be a bit of a hard sell for any lady). But! That doesn’t matter, their relationship with Miri is what the shows about, and you can write WHATEVER you like in terms of fanfiction!

ON that note, here’s my overall thoughts on the whole season.

I really loved how BD handled each of the Dads growth into becoming proper parents. They each have a different life that has given them different reactions and trauma, and neither is treated as worse than the other. I think this show shines in terms of it’s characterization and interactions, it is where the writers flexed their muscles for sure. The overall plot is, eh, but it is everything it needs to be. The plot is basic so that the main characters can dance around it as needed for various scenes and plot points. I mean, you can summarize the whole show like “2 men find a girl, decide to keep her, have to give her up for her safety, and they need to take her in again, the end.” But again, it’s the wholesome and sweet nature of two men learning to love again that carries the show. It’s about the thawing of hearts, of healing and of moving forward stronger than before. Buddy daddies tells its audience that your never stuck. You never have to live tomorrow like you lived today, you can change. From Rei finally leaving an unfulfilling livelihood, Kazuki releasing his guilt over his wife and even to Misaki devoting herself to her daughter until the end. That’s what made this show special and meaningful, its seeing those changes in motion that made me cry. There are things I wish the show explored more, Kazuki/Rei’s relationship being number one of course. But I’m very happy with what we got, a clean, sweet and wholesome season. no cliffhangers, no waiting for a season 2 that may never come, or sitting around for movies announced in 2017. It’s a complete, heartwarming story of learning to love and letting go of the past, and I loved watching it.

Hat’s off to you Buddy Daddies, We had a lot of fun!

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

# soobin doesn’t like… pulling out !!

it’s the way he exhales, all breathy and laced with the slightest hint of a groan,, barely audible over the lewd, wet sounds of soobin clumsily thrusting with lusty impatience, dizzy and drunk on pleasure. and what more could he want, on the verge of a high, his slender muscles tense and sweat on his skin, red scratches adorning his back that sting slightly but it feels like love, a wet, heavenly mess of your pretty n warm pussy sucking him back in with every thrust, so well it sounds almost filthy with arousal, scent of sex clouding over his room at an ungodly hour.

mmf—fuck… ‘m— gonna cum– soobin moans, his hot breath fanning across your neck, messy with splotches of lovebites made in a rushed make out, escalated so quickly from there, didn’t it~? s-soobin, h-have ‘to pull o-out! you whimper, clinging to his broad shoulders as he fucks you so sloppily, uneven strokes drop in your warm cunt, because god, you’re a liar, always telling him to pull out, even when your pretty legs lock around his hips tighter, you don’t really want him to, do you~?

and he’s always pulled out, fucking’ dreaming of making a mess in your pretty pussy, the way you’d be so pretty with a mess of his cum coating your thighs n swollen folds rather than creamy white spilt on your soft stomach the way you always ask him to, can’t have it his way ever? not like anything would ever happen.

and fuck, soobin can’t help himself, not when you cum around his cock, clenching down with such cute mewls as your orgasm crashes down, burying your face into his shoulder and clinging tighter,,, why bother doing something you clearly don’t want him to do? and god, is it heavenly when he grips your hips and roughly thrusts hard, a breathy groan escaping his lips as he cums, warm cream filling’ you up all full as you wail at the sudden load, it’s just love, isn’t it? and making you all dizzy n confused, feels too good to even think anymore, when soobin thrusts n fucks his way through his high, the immeasurable feeling of raw warmth n cumming inside, filling you up with his cum, belonging to him from both inside n out?

his chest heaving, unwilling to pull out because fuck, your swollen pussy feels a little too good, all pretty when you’re seeing stars n full of his cum,,, and the way he slowly slips out, unable to look away at the mess of creamy white seeping between your folds when he pulls away… soobin’s addicted.

i like woke up from a nap and needed to write this lol

I know several other people have redrawn that one official cloudtail & brightheart art but i wanted to take a crack at it. Hire me harpercollins.

[ID: a digital painting of Cloudtail and Brightheart from Warriors in a semi-realistic style. Cloudtail is a fluffy white cat with blue eyes, and Brightheart is a ginger-and-white cat with one blue eye and heavy scarring on the other side of her face, including an empty eyesocket, shredded ear, and part of her lip torn away to reveal her teeth. The cats are facing towards the viewer, looking happy, with Brightheart leaning her head into Cloudtail's muzzle. They are in a field of tall grass with mountains visible in the background and a tree with a few leaves looming over them. End ID]

Original below the cut for comparison

[ID: a painting similar to the first one, but Brightheart and Cloudtail are drawn in a more realistic style, lacking expression, and not leaning into each other. Brightheart has much less ginger on her pelt and her scarring is reduced to a few scratches on her eye. End ID]

[melonsharks]

like a thing, make a character lineup to figure out how i would draw them. thats the way my brain works! you can find close-ups under the cut!

these were fun :] theres a lot of characters in this show that would be fun to draw, is there anyone you guys wanna see next? 🤔

I'm looking too far into it as always but Monty being a regular crow and then getting violently turned into a human without his permission for his owner's revenge plot, gaining human levels of emotion and intelligence and then having it all violently ripped away again without warning, assumably losing all of that human emotion and stuff is genuine psychological horror to me, especially when you factor in the whole being in a coma thing being a metaphor for his time as a crow with Esther like, is he ok?

[elsecrytt]

okay but jjk somnophilia is like

gojo "please please pleaaaaase let me put it in while you're sleeping PLEASE i swear i'll make you cum i proooomise please let's try it once pleeaaase. YOU can put it in ME whenever you want!!! any time any place anything you want in any of my holes!! wake me up with it!! it'll be soooo hot" satoru

vs

nanami "i have kink charts for both of us and they have sliding scales and notes section for each one. we can mark hard boundaries for what state of consciousness we want for ourselves or our partners, giving or receiving, what sex acts, etc. we'll set up a safe word and a safe gesture and then we can start trying things out" kento

vs

geto "sorry i fell asleep while eating you out, it will happen again. no, i won't stop eating you out when i fall unconscious. just tear me off your pussy if you don't like it" suguru

My biggest beef with the way Annabeth was written in the show is that I think Rick fell into his own trap. Like his whole thing with Annabeth is that just because someone doesn’t look smart doesn’t mean they aren’t. And while it’s about their literal looks for both the show and the book, book Annabeth also sometimes acted in ways that people wouldn’t stereotypically associate with “smart” because I think we’ve all be condition to think bbc sherlock no emotions genius is the only way to be smart. Book Annabeth acts super flustered around Luke because she's a kid and she has a crush on him, she's afraid of spiders, and wanted to see the arch just because she thought it was cool. In general book Annabeth is allowed to be sillier and have a wider range of emotions than show Annabeth without it detracting from the fact that Annabeth is smart. I find this whole "stoic genius" idea is often used to put down teenage girls for being dumb and superficial just because they show emotions and the only way to beat it is to be cold, calculating, and emotionless and most people just aren't like that.
