i had a conversation with my friend yesterday.

as we were talking, i thought about jiang tian's every moment at the end of every episode. it's such a fun easter egg because we could finally see and understand from jiang tian's point of view.

therefore, since we're six episodes in, the first half of the series, i wonder if they'll change jiang tian's every moment to sheng wang's every moment?

because, the first half of the series focused mainly on sheng wang—his background story, his challenges, and his emotional and character development. i wonder if the director will switch this up and put jiang tian's story into the spotlight?

also, the phrase, "my world is upside down," somewhat suggests that we're going to see how jiang tian's world is overturned—after we've witnessed sheng wang's flipped universe.

I need to try and have two interests active at once so that when Im tired or drawing one I can go draw the other

This has never happened before but I will try

Im thinking of grabbing my first oc ever and rework her story and world a bit

Wish me luck! Im going through the "i hate my art phase but dont know how to improve" so im hoping a different character will change that, even if I just put her in cute outfits

Buddie Season 7 Hype and "Brothers" Rumor

I know some of us may have seen the "brother" rumors floating around, hinting that an upcoming Buck and Eddie scene this season might officially cast their relationship as strictly platonic.

Some fans just want to live in the buddie moment and be happy after the stills and 7x04 synopsis dropped. I get it. It's fun being on the buddie train. But some are worried now that they've gotten their hopes up. I get that too. So I just wanted to talk about it here on my little buddie blog. If you're unbothered by it, definitely scroll past this post.

Firstly, we don't know yet if they will actually call each other brothers or not. It's just rumors at this point, from what I can tell. And if even if they do, we don't know the full context of it or either character's reaction to it. Secondly, just the way the show has stirred up the buddie hype this season makes me want to believe the "brother" dialogue that may or may not even happen would NOT be meant to shut down buddie canon hope once and for all.

While I don't think we're getting a clear and true, full out buddie-feelings-realization in these next couple episodes, it would be very cruel if the show instead went in the extreme opposite direction and defined their relationship as "like brothers" at the end of this particular storyline that has fans so hyped up, if their intention in doing so is meant to cement their relationship in the general audience's eyes as brotherly only. Let's be real: the show has ramped up the marketing attention on Buck and Eddie this season like never before. From pre-releasing a ton of Buck-and-Eddie-centric stills to the decision of pairing Ryan and Oliver together so damn much for promotions … all actions not seen on this level in any previous seasons.

To me, that demonstrates the show's intentions to build hope for buddie rather than dash it.

Especially because we know the show KNOWS their audience. I think the show knows how to market to the buddie fandom, even when they're marketing differently to the rest of the general audience and other potential viewers. They are acutely aware that the buddie fans tend to be dialed in, always seeing the episode stills the instant they're released, waiting on pins and needles for the next synopsis to drop, theorizing, reading each article, devouring every interview, examining bts details, etc. They tend to be highly engaged fans.

The showrunners and powers-that-be know how this promotional content is perceived and are aware of the fandom's dedication, and so have fed into the fervor with strategically released content for calculated engagement. And now we have the carefully worded synopsis for 7x04, where we've been told Eddie will form a close bond with someone else, and Buck will be envious over it. It's obvious how buddie fans will perceive this. So for them to pivot so sharply and end up defining Buck and Eddie's relationship as nothing more than brotherly after such a known buildup would not only be a massive letdown but might also be perceived as an uncaring bait-and-switch tactic. And I really don't they would do that to their fans.

They wouldn't hype us up to the top of a cliff knowing they're only going to throw us off it, right?

I don't want to get into if it would be queer baiting or not; the situation isn't black and white, and I don't think it's blatant enough to be considered anything like that. It's more about the emotional investment the fans have made, based on the carefully crafted cues the show has provided them with. The ethical route, if the showrunner's intention this season was always to solidify buddie as a brotherly bond with no romantic potential, would have been to firmly manage expectations from the start rather than amplifying them to the point of no return going into this network change and new season. To sum up here, the buildup we've been given around Buck and Eddie lately leads me to hope we're moving in an optimistic direction that will eventually culminate in the chance for a buddie romance at some point in the series. At the very least, I hope it means we're not going to have our hopes crushed entirely and see Buck and Eddie be officially friend-zoned. (Even though we can certainly still ship them to eternity and beyond regardless, it means so much if them going canon remain a possibility.)

To officially redefine Buck and Eddie's pairing in strictly platonic terms now, after all these seasons, would not only be a disservice to an incredibly invested fanbase but also a hell of a missed opportunity to go on and explore a rich relationship in a more dynamic way, especially as buddie has captivated viewers for so long in a slow-burn sense already.

Considering how Buddy Daddies appears at first glance as just a cute comedy, I really can’t get over the amazing character development! Rei began as someone who felt trapped by his life and like there was no other way for him, and he almost didn’t even care anymore. He was made just to follow more orders, and to be a passive witness to what happens to him, rather than trying to influence it for himself. But now Rei wants something and, even though he has been shown how hard his life will be if he reaches for it, he wants to take action and be different. And, most importantly, he believes that this is possible!

Meanwhile, Kazuki’s experiences in the storyline had caused him to lose the belief that their lives could be anything different. So he ends up believing that really loving Miri means they have to give her up, and that he would actively hurt her if he kept on reaching for that dream of a family. Rei actually gained hope over the series, but nearly the opposite happened to Kazuki! And yet, the turn around with Rei is strong enough to pull Kazuki out of that fear, and now they’re both finally on the same page!

They are both now people who truly want to cherish and take care of their found family! And now they’re at a point that they can actually make that commitment. Because, for arguably the first time, they truly understand what it means and will actively work and fight to keep it! What incredible character growth!

Hello,

How do you do ? I hope to be in a good condition.

This is my special campaign

We hope to help us by donating or sharing to others.

Every donation makes a different even if it a small.

As you know, the war began on October 7 and lasted ten months. During this period, we were unable to obtain food, drink, or treatment because we did not have money.

There is no source of income for the family at the present time, so we are unable to buy food, clean water, and medicine, especially after we are afflicted with the ongoing infectious diseases spread in the north like Hepatitis C disease.

Our house has been damaged a lot since the beginning of the war. We are from the north of Gaza and we are still in the north and have not displaced to the south. We displaced 10 times from place to another seeking to safety .

We hope for your help and support, even if only a little.

This is the link if you would to read our story well 👇👇

Today is NOT a good day for me...

I woke up this morning with no strength or energy. My mood is the lowest it's been in a VERY long time, I have no appetite, and it's just an awful feeling all around. I'm gonna need some time to try to pull myself together because I am in PIECES. I'm not crying or anything, though I wish I could.

I'm not going to do anything drastic or life-ruining or anything like that, but just know that whatever happens next, good or bad, it's been wonderful knowing all of you, really, it has. I love each and every one of you. Thanks for everything.

I’m so sick of that pop psychology myth about your brain being fully developed at 25. Your brain is constantly adapting, changing and developing different skills. If you’re neurodivergent your brain develops slower than a neurotypical persons. That’s not a valid excuse to infantilize and take away bodily autonomy from literal adults.

Election anxiety is pretty intense right now… I live in a swing state and tensions have been high for awhile. A billboard LED truck just rolled down my street covered in gross maga nonsense. It’s disgusting. I’m tired.
