i've never really posted on bbs tumblr so uhhhhh. hi

name and whatever you want to share about yourself

i'm tonje, 29, any ol pronouns will do, nanonschin on the sinking ship, senorflamingos on ao3

i like nanon a normal amount

when did you watch bad buddy/join the fandom?

i started the show on february 1, 2022 and by the end of the month i'd seen it five times back to back and i have since never closed the tab where the show is open because i am always in some state of rewatching

i spent a lot of time silently reblogging things on here because i hadn't been active in fandom in years and finally decided to join the fandom on twitter in january 2023, and i guess i'll be more active on here now that twitter is going down the drain

favorite ship(s)

patpran, patpran and more patpran i have tunnel vision to this day

favorite character(s)

i love pran more than anything on this earth

favorite episode(s)

7 no doubt, the bet era tickles every single corner of my brain and i could fill in the blanks of what they did or didn't do during that time indefinitely

5 for obvious reasons

2 for the shenanigans, the entire start of the show has a very special place in my heart but mmm the unknowingly across the hall trope, mmm "mr dumpling", mmm pat's hand on pran's stomach in the elevator

favorite scene(s)

i adore the library scene from episode 7, i love the way pran gets in pat's space, i love the way pat gets weak at the knees, i feel like it perfectly sums up everything i love about their dynamic

the morning after in episode 11, i am a sucker for everything soft and that is damn near the softest thing i've laid my eyes on. also big spoon pran

the fight in episode 5, and everything that follows, but the fight scene is so effective in dragging all the ridiculousness of the show right down to earth in such a visceral way and it works beautifully

the final scene of the show. nothing has ever made me as happy as watching them shoving each other around in a dumbass kissing competition it's the PERFECT ENDING FOR THEM

one thing you would change about the show if you could

the whole gun plot as an ineffective means to redeem wai, say sorry out loud u coward

what are your some of your favorite fanworks made by other people?

these are all fic and i have a dreadful memory so i am certainly forgetting a lot but:

both parts of Are You Ready? by @galauvant. lauren just gets it

anything by @dimplesandfierceeyes

pudgy pran by @bbshyperfixation. julia if u ever see this i'm obsessed with u and i should reread both of these

a sheer repose of mind by prettyvisit0r made me cry most recently

(if you create fanworks) what are your favorite fanworks that you’ve made?

my dearest darling it has always been you written for my dearest darling ciel

a song that makes you think of bbs (the ones in the show don’t count lol)

LOVE ME MORE BY MITSKI. the amount of times i've watched gifs of the rooftop scene and felt like my soul was being torn to shreds by this song ohhh boy

idk anything else you want us to know?

i'm scared to talk to people but i promise i'm nice <3

[euclydya]

no need to apologize for forgetting i just wanted to make sure it had gone thru/resend it if necessary. i hadn't heard brand new before but i really like their sound, thanks.

today's song recommendations: lemon to a knife fight by the wombats for billy, sto vo kor by warp 11 (my favorite star trek rock band) for eddie, touch starved by bb bean for steve, and silver spoons by kid pixie for your jonathan (fun fact this is my most played song on spotify)

Immediately consuming all of kid pixie's discography thank u so much the vibes of their music is IMMACULATE omg,, -Jonathan

Our recs!!:

Anti You/Burning Bridges - Blue Stahli

Aaaalrighty immediately cheating I suppose cuz these are two songs but they're just. The exact same beat with different lyrics so we're counting em as one! (/lighthearted) Both are super angry sounding but personally we prefer Anti You just a liiittle more tbh. I mostly chose this one but Billy vibes with em both too so these r also her suggestions! —Groves, one of Billy's headmates 👋

Static - Jukebox the Ghost

I think my favourite genre of music is Songs That Sound Paranoid And Angsty good lord lmao,, The piano & guitar in this one's catchy as hell though and has been stuck in my head for a couple days -Jonathan

West Texas - PWR BTTM

OK WE CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONES WHO REMEMBER WHEN PWR BTTM WAS THEE BIGGEST BAND ON HERE FOR LIKE A MONTH BC THEY WERE OPENLY QUEER AND MADE QUEER MUSIC BUT THEN ONE OF THE MEMBERS GOT OUTED FOR FUCKING, I DON'T KNOW WE DON'T REMEMBER, AND THEN THEY JUST. FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH????? WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT UP RIGHT?? /LIGHTHEARTED

ANYWAYS!! controversy or not we still listen to them every now and then! This song's one of my favourites of theirs <3 -Eddie

The Chattering Lack of Common Sense - Ghost and Pals

ah yes. We've gone from human singers to vocaloid. >:) /lighthearted

I dunno how to explain the Why I'm recommending this to you but I like it a lot so I guess that's reason enough, yeah? I Mean I Could write like a whole essay about what this song means to me but we do Not have the spoons for that HFJDJDJFJFJ

Eddie and I were collabing on a set of gifs based on this song but that's being put on hold until we can get a better cpu. And by that point we might just make it into an AMV anyways tbh -Steve
