BAD BUDDY – PAT GETS SHOT (A PLAY-BY-PLAY)

In honor of December 24th being Bad Buddy Pat's shottiversary of the gunshot that really wasn't, I've decided to do a play-by-play with commentary... 😍

(above) Ep.9 [3‌/4] 11.42 Pat grapples with the world’s first pageant king/rugby captain gunman (while the camerawork goes all artistically shaky, just in case any of us couldn’t figure out that this is a Death Fight Full of Danger™).

‌

(above) Ep.9 [3‌/4] 11.46

A shot is fired, Korn roars up from behind, Hunky Gunman Ham reels in surprise (yes, Kim Goodburn’s rugby gunman is named Ham), and Pat has a moment of clarity that the cinematographer ever-so-subtly decides to highlight with the streetlight glowing behind our hero’s eyes. "You SHOOT Miette? You shoot your shot like a rugby ball? Oh! Oh! Jail for Hammy! Jail for Hammy for One Thousand Years!!!!"

‌

(above) Ep.9 [3‌/4] 12.13

Drama (and Baseball) Mama Pat, Faculty of Engineering but majoring in Performing Arts (see Ep.10 [1‌/4] 18.46 🤣) falls melodramatically to the ground even though it’s only a graze wound (as we find out later at Ep.9 [4/4] 1.54).

‌

Hunky Gunman, gunless and realizing the potential for criminal charges, turns and flees the scene.

Headcanon Time! In between watching Ham run away and grimacing from the pain, Pat takes a moment to gloat in the moment. I now have it in my head that Pat must have known the gunshot wound wasn’t life-threatening, but decided to play it up anyway…

Pat is a people person, adept at sizing up other people and situations (see his rescue of Pran’s LogTech presentation in Ep.3 for one example), and I think he correctly read that with the gun wrested away from his grasp the outwardly boorish Ham, inwardly a coward, will be psychologically defenseless without his big boy crutch and is going to flee (especially when confronted with the possibility of assault/murder charges).

Pat’s right, and I think this one moment of preternatural calm shows he knows he’s right.

‌

Aaaaand… Switch! Less than two minutes of screentime later and our sunshine boy is back to his antics (stealing a kiss from Pran here). 😍

‌

(above) Ep.11 [3‌/4] 17.18

So two episodes down, and there’s no sign of that gunshot graze anywhere, anymore. Judging from where Pat was clutching his side at Ep.9 [3‌/4] 12.21 and Ep.10 [1‌/4] 18.42, it should be just above the edge of that blanket – but no…

Maybe it was as superficial as that sudden twist of the narrative? (Pat gets shot! But not really. 🤣) Or maybe production decided not to mar the perfection of Ohm’s abs and intercostals? (My money’s on the latter. 😂😍)

If anything, Pat getting shot (but not really) may have been another example of Director Aof playing with the Bait-and-Switch, written up here. 💖👍

‌Anyway Happy Patgotshottiversary to all the Bad Buddy fandom and to all who celebrate BL high holidays!

Just a gentle reminder that Sunday is the 2nd anniversary of Pat getting shot.

[hurlumerlu]

I was mentally sumarizing Bad Buddy as "college Romeo & Juliet where the violence is stricktly emotional" and then remembered than Pat does, in fact, get shot.

i know halloween is over but i’m laughing thinking abt patrick + art dressing up as the joker + harley quinn respectively

like patrick’s visiting artie at stanford for halloweekend and convinces him to do the costumes for a party they’re going to later

he puts pink and blue hair chalk in art’s blonde curls and cuts up a white tee shirt into a crop top for him to wear. pat just wears a purple suit and draws the smile on. it’s all half-assed. patrick explains to art that it’s ‘more about the concept than the execution’, as if that makes them look any less silly.

and art is pouting the whole time !

he wanted to indulge his friend a little, but now he just looks and feels dumb.

… and maybe a bit objectified too.

he’s all like “why couldn’t i be the joker :(“

and pat’s just “art. you do NOT have the vibe needed to pull off the joker.”

art does not like that answer.

“i could’ve been batman then:((“

but he forgets all about it when he and patrick get a little too drunk at the party and start feeling each other up back at his dorm room afterwards. all is well.

it's so funny the whole polygon fandom has migrated to dropout

i think we were doomed to end up like this the moment we started making fanworks about pcpr

happy to announce that ohm pawat made it through yet another show without being grazed by a bullet despite the fact that he had a gun shoved into his face on multiple occasions

and with that the gay romcom continues to be the only series in which ohm pawat ever ends up with a gunshot wound

Y’all no one showed up to work last night. So imagine I get here at 2am and I’m tore the fuck up y’all, but I got here at 2am and she still here my big boss. She give me her keys, and door code (which I have my own) and left by 3am.

She talking about Mr predator will be here at 3am. I look at the schedule and he off today.

This man lied to her and said he was going to be here knowing he wasn’t.

So now I’m here with just the cleaning staff and we got people knocking at the door but I’m not letting them in cuz I’m not dealing with all these people at 4am.

They done threaten to call the Atlanta district person. I told them do what they gotta do, cuz I know it’s not gone fall on me.

This gone fall on predator and new boss. Both I want gone.

Predator made this schedule. He scheduled himself off and his lil boo that he fucking so they could both be laid up, don’t ask me how I know just know I know 👀👀👀.

So my boss text me, mind you she only been gone 75 mins. She has to be back at 830 for a conference call.

Am I going to make it worst? Absolutely gotta fan these flames cuz I want mr predator out of here. I never got over him cussing me out and I def never got over him having sex with that teen girl who ran away from home.

This happen like 4 years ago. It use to be this girl 15-17, don’t know her exact age but she was a minor and had ran away from home. She use to hang around our job for some reason, cuz the men gave her attention and a few dollars.

One day she stopped showing up and I didn’t see her for like 2 months. I saw her one day at a bus stop and asked if she was cool and how come I didn’t see her no more.

Apparently Mr predator gave her $20 and a happy meal, fucked her and told her not to come over there no more or he’ll call the police.

Now I do think part of the story is missing but he had no business treating that girl like that. Even now he’ll hit on young girls. He don’t care they age.

I say all that to say this. I’ve been praying on his downfall. But he one of those men who has charm. He literally can put a spell on women of age and older. They let him act and do what he want.

Can’t wait to see him gone.

can we talk about

now that we know the captain never left england during the war? i've been dying to talk about

since we found out the captain never left england during the war.

[spotforme]

is there already an AU where Cap and Pat are alive at the same time and meet and become friends through Ham radio or they report news to remote locations with the other being the conveyor or they're in intelligence or something, anything, socializing through beeps suits them too well. oh what if they have the other's sending quirks memorised?

Black Sheep the scott pilgrim song is so SanYura to me I feel like yelling it is literally them. Platonically romantically and a secret third thing all at once it is literally them like actually every goddamn lyric applies perfectly I am having an episode dawg I’ve had this realization before but I listened to the song again and no really I underestimated it, it is THEM

the vault dweller’s memoir has one singular mention of their spouse and nothing else so you bet your ass i’m letting that vagueness let me run buck wild creating my vault dwellers relationship with the allusive “pat”

watching this was like getting a sugar rush this is what romance is all about

There are people in the YT comments of Axl vods who are starting to like, ACTUALLY see the fucking problem (unable to force reliable risk/reward, unable to consistently convert, no pressure reset no routing). I've even seen people start lamenting the fact that games are just not as interesting anymore like YES! THANK YOU! The game was already very simple and watered down; this wasn't necessarily a flaw, but further streamlining characters that are ALREADY streamlined just further exacerbates the lack of depth that people have been complaining about since day 1 of Strive because this game isn't xrd (which I disagree with but I also understand the complaint). Furthermore, you "increased defense across the board" and then BUFFED THE MOVES OF CHARACTERS WHO HAVE BEEN DOING WAY TOO MUCH DAMAGE FOR 3 YEARS!! MAKING LOWER DAMAGE CHARACTERS HAVE TO WIN MORE INTERACTIONS AND TAKE MORE RISKS TO WIN GAMES! WHICH IS THEIR WHOLE ISSUE AND WHY THEY WEREN'T GOOD! AND YOU ALSO TOOK TOOLS AWAY FROM THEM! ARE YOU STUPID? YOU'VE ESSENTIALLY DONE NOTHING! Ugh.
