All this year's drawings that I did for the KazureiWeek2024 (Which I did a month ahead without knowing 'cause I'm a clown)

Rei, desperately fighting to keep his daughter.

Rei, the man who reluctantly agreed to be Miri's father, the one finding any reason for her to stay with her papas.

Rei, the man who was a robot and never showed any emotion now enraged to learn that the mother who abandoned his daughter is now demanding to take her back, blackmailing them with the knowledge of their employment.

Rei, the man who, just a year ago, wasn't even properly equipped to take care of a cat.

Rei, the man who now adores and loves Miri and doesn't want to lose her and is falling apart inside at having to let her go.

Rei, who, alongside Kazuki, put aside their selfish desires to keep Miri in their custody and instead released her to her mother for her own safety, knowing now that there was a target on their backs that could get themselves and Miri killed. And while not the most ideal scenario, it was her best option.

Rei, who learned to be selfless as Miri's father. The man who learned what it meant to love and be loved. The man who built a family and changed for the better, in a way he never thought possible for himself.

I'll never shut up about how heartbroken I am over this episode. If they don't find their happiness with Miri again I'm never trusting another anime again.

Buddy Daddies got me in a chokehold,,,

And I’m alright with that :)

[redlenai]

Creechure!Rei AU

he is… human? so damn weird creature that fits inside cabinets or will likely travel accross the apartment through the shadows

[theunfairmaiden]

Rei now overflowing with emotion and struggling to keep them in check because his daughter made him a changed man and he’s FIGHTING FOR HER.

The URGENCY in his voice when he called Kazuki? Like damn I love this man sm

[theunfairmaiden]

an update nobody asked for on this wip - trying to be positive and remind myself this is my first time doing a pose like this so of course it’ll be difficult and the more I work at it the better it’ll get 🥲

[theunfairmaiden]

They're wrapped around her finger.

I love how every time Miri offers to share her food, Kazuki gets super emotional because she's so kind and such a great kid.

Without hesitation he always takes her up on her offer - even when she's offering him dumplings made of sand. Anything to make her happy.

In this episode we see Rei really become more expressive with his emotions. He smiles so naturally in this episode, in spite of the circumstances, because he's happy and wants to enjoy his time with his daughter - with his family - and have no regrets about their time together.

When Miri offers him a bite after Kazuki has already taken one we see him hesitate.

But when he sees her smiling face he can't help but to give in. He loves her so much and takes the bite (INDIRECT KISS INDIRECT KISS) and smiles at her following.

I know that with a target on their backs Miri's safest option is with Misaki right now. But I'm still heartbroken and am holding out hope that they will destroy the organization and get Miri back.

I never would have guessed when I started this show that I'd grow so attached to this found family in such a short period of time. I thought I was starting a fun little comedy and here I am 2 days later still heartbroken and so fucking sad about episode 10. These men deserve happiness and I want so badly for their happiness to be together as a family with Miri. I know all of the fluff episodes are gone for this season (assuming they pick up another season which god, I hope they do) but I don't want to believe that we'd get 9 episodes of (mostly) lighthearted content for it to end on such a low note.

I have like 18 more drafts about this episode alone so lol I could go on and on.

[theunfairmaiden]

Can we talk about this scene for a moment?

Bear with me - it's hard for me to put my thoughts into written words. A lot of my thoughts are feelings and images lol

This is so heartbreaking. Rei finally found it in him to cheer on Miri - something I'm sure is a foreign concept to him because his home life growing up was absolute garbage. Abuse. He's learning what it means to be a father, a lot of which he's learning through Kazuki, and he finally gets to a place where he starts acting like the father he wants to be and he's ashamed.

No one is upset with him - Miri isn't upset that she fell, she just thought she let her papas down, but Kazuki quickly reassures her that they just want her to have fun. Kazuki and Miri are just surprised (IN THE BEST AND HAPPIEST WAY) that Rei is showing enthusiasm and emotion. He's really stepping into his role as Miri's father. And because of his bitch ass father he thinks he's done something wrong by throwing Miri off guard, causing her to trip. He thinks he's a failure of a father. He feels like a nuisance, the same way his father made him feel when he was growing up. (PAIN. FULL BODY PAIN OVER THIS ONE. YOU'RE JUST TRYING YOUR BEST BB)

Let's also talk about how Kazuki reacts to Rei blaming himself. "No, dude. What the heck? Why would you say that?" Telling him that of course it's not your fault, don't be ashamed for stepping out of your shell. That's nonsense, nobody blames you. You did nothing wrong.

He also makes sure to check on him because he clearly appears to be much more sad than usual. And he obviously cares about his well-being. "Hey, you okay?" I think this shows Rei that he is worth being cared about when he's been raised his whole life that he's only a tool for destruction and the fact that Miri tripped only reinforces that idea in his mind. Kazuki's response reassures him that he didn't do anything wrong. He's beating himself up, and likely thinks he deserves it, but Kazuki is showing him that it doesn't matter and he doesn't deserve to be beaten down for this. I'm sure Kazuki knows how hard it was for Rei to come out of his shell like that, especially in such a public setting.

All-in-all, Miri is still ecstatic to be there with her papas - both of her papas. She'll just try again in the next event!

When she asks Rei and Kazuki to join her and Kazuki checks in with Rei and he responds with: "No, thanks..." And Kazuki walks away with Miri looking a little sad that he couldn't help Rei. Kazuki and Miri did everything they could to reassure Rei that he didn't do anything wrong and he's still beating himself up about it. I HATE HIS FATHER FOR WHAT HE DID TO HIM - JUST LOOK AT HIM. A LITTLE BB I JUST WANNA HUG HIM AND KISS HIM AND TELL HIM EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. Like the look on his face just makes me want to cry. My heart. This show has made me feel LOTS of emotions that I was not expecting from a show like this.

I just really hope everything Shigeki did comes to bite him in the ass. I want the organization to crumble under Rei's thumb.

[theunfairmaiden]

Buddy Daddies will have a happy ending - whether that be this season or another.

You can’t convince me that Miri won’t return to her papas.

“If you love something, set it free. If it comes back it’s yours. If not, it was never meant to be.”

In this scenario with Misaki returning she only came back for selfish reasons. She supposedly: got dumped, lost her job, and is now dying of cancer. She came for Miri to make herself feel better. Returning to her mom after not seeing her for a year only to have her die on her is only going to traumatize Miri. She didn’t even think about Miri when she pulled out a pack of cigarettes with her asleep on the couch 10 feet away from her. It took her papas stopping her for her to think twice.

On the other hand, Kazuki and Rei selflessly returned Miri to her mother because they knew it was her safest option for the time being. They didn’t want to let her go but they knew they had to. Is this show not about how people can change and deserve happiness? It’s a family show after all - about two killers and a girl. It just wouldn’t make sense for them to not get their family back.

I think (if not just praying) that they take these next few episodes plotting to take down the Organization because they know as long as it exists they cannot keep Miri safe. Maybe they’ll uncover that Yuzuko’s death was also not an accident and the combined betrayal will drive Rei and Kazuki to destroy the Organization that ripped away their happiness. 

I also think there’s a chance they will target Kazuki, since his influence has turned Rei away from what his father wanted him to be and he’s become capable of love and built a family he loved and is no longer just a shell of a person. I don’t think Kazuki will die but he may get shot and be hospitalized for a long time. Maybe in a coma? And this betrayal will drive Rei to go on a rampage and seek revenge. Ultimately the Organization’s attempts to tear apart their (Rei’s and Kazuki’s) family will be their own demise. Rei is, after all, a weapon that Shigeki built. Imagine if that turned around to bite him in the ass.

But what do I know, maybe I’m just a fangirl desperate to see her favorite assassin duo and toddler family get their happy ending ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

p.s. Why does this ( T_T)＼(^-^ ) remind me of Rei and Kazuki? Lmao

[moonboook8]

G

I just remembered that old meme

[theunfairmaiden]

It better become Rei and Kazuki’s life mission to take down the organization after this. Like, was Yuzuko’s death really an accident? Did Kazuki betray the organization by marrying her? Obviously he’s the reason Rei has become this emotional human who was raising a child with him. I feel like Shingeki won’t just let that slide. And with the OP? Looks like Kazuki might be shot from behind and I hope Rei goes on a rampage and destroys everyone lol let’s not forget how quick he was to defend Kazuki (his family with or without Miri) to Shingeki idk I’m rambling. My head is all over the place. I’m still in pain over ep 10 lmao

[theunfairmaiden]

my first time hearing this on the first episode of Buddy Daddies:

me every time I hear it now:

[redlenai]

No, but genuinely.

The show should have given Rei a cat and a new adopted baby to Kazu, the potential they have and the love these two have to offer, also Miri not being only a big sister but being THE BEST big sister because she has amazing dads and and uguguguhgghughg -crying sobbing- aUUGUHH -throwing up-
