[airenyah]

oh i just found this post on my blog from like 8 months ago with these tags:

#hoping and praying that bbs won't get another season #i'll take a one ep special at most (like the inkpa magic of zero ep) #but i'm just really afraid that this show will disappoint me in the end after all if there's a sequel #bc so far bbs has been the only show that didn't end up disappointing me in the end #and leaving me with a bitter aftertaste in my mouth #i would like it to stay that way #as much as i miss my boys and inkpa..... yeah i'd rather not

and two months after me writing these tags they announced our skyy 2 which includes bbs

i’m so sick of sequel and spin-off culture. sometimes stories are just over and that’s ok. there’s nothing more unsatisfying to me than when a story has a complete narrative that works well and then a sequel comes out.

FUCK IT'S BAD BUDDY DAY

[airenyah]

you know what after weeks of following bad buddy on a weekly basis, after living through the ep12 preview (derogatory) and the following week of hell, after living through the ep12 drop, after living through months of dread and terror regarding the looming bbs special eps, after living through that first promising bbs our skyy week, i gotta say.....

i've finally learned to trust p'aof. i'm actually going into today's ep kind of excited and fairly hopeful

do not break that trust @p'aof bc like not to be dramatic but i swear to god if you do i will never be trusting anyone ever again

[airenyah]

#see everyone is on p'aofs case for indulging himself#but i also think it is gay rights to say#hey these men are NOT just 'gay for that one guy'#like honestly its only right that they acknowledge that everyone here is hot#and also i kind of love bi pat being like I WOULD#like this scene is very much a confirmation that THEY WOULD#they're both just super committed#and i support it#silly as it is it is Gay Rights (via @miscellar)

#only friends (bad buddy x atots version)

[airenyah]

you know what tumblr... you're right. that is how i feel about the our skyy bbs trailer

[airenyah]

IT'S REAL

IT'S REAL

IT'S REAL

THE CROSSOVER IS REAL

[airenyah]

not my friend asking about my thesis and regretting half of his life choices (but especially the one about being friends with me) shortly after

[airenyah]

no you literally don't understand just how fucking terrified i am of the bbs our skyy eps

[airenyah]

oh i- i just had a horrible thought...

what if waikorn gets canonized in bbs our skyy

[airenyah]

it's the way i've had literal MONTHS to mentally prepare for the special episodes and yET. I AM STILL IN NO WAY READY

i gotta say, at least all the terror and dread that i've had about it has slowly disappeared over the last few days the more we've seen of it and has slowly turned into excitement soooo at least i'll be going into the episode happy and excited rather than completely terrified this might be a bad thing

[airenyah]

it's 11am now. our skyy drops at 3:30pm my time. gonna go to uni and try to write my thesis for another 4ish hours in the hopes that i can focus at all and not have a meltdown in public jfdjkfddf

[airenyah]

can't stop thinking about how the trailer is going to drop right when i'm stepping out of class and how i can't go sit at the uni library to work on my thesis afterwards bc i need to go straight home after class to have a meltdown

if it's already this bad just for the trailer... imagine what it's gonna be like when there's the actual episode out

[airenyah]

that's what i get for saying "i miss patpran" every single day for over a year straight huh

[airenyah]

girl help i am unwell
