i was rewatching the beginning of bad's vod (yes, i have a problem, leave me alone) and it got me thinking again about bad and baghera's relationship, and how in terms of narrative importance for q!bad q!baghera holds a place that is only rivalled by dapper and pomme. this isn't to put down the rest of q!bad's relationships, i think q!foolish is another one i want to make a post about, but man… q!bad and q!baghera (i'll drop the q! from now on bc i'm lazy but this is about the characters).
their friendship is so important to me? how baghera is so immune to bad's pranks but always plays along, even from very early on when he stole her chair (or table) and tried to bullshit her to her face. she knew he'd been the one to steal it, and let him dig his hole while telling him explicitly that she didn't care about the furniture — she cares about a friend lying. in the end, bad comes clean, and she teases him and then makes him a bunch of furniture.
we also talk a lot about how bad's instinct is to leave dapper with foolish in case something goes wrong, but the fact that baghera was his second option there is… wild. the fact bad went away for a week and trusted her with dapper speaks volumes, absolute libraries even — he's known foolish for so long, and yet this new person is someone he holds in high regard enough to entrust his child to her. in fact, when we talk about his reluctance to dapper's adoption it was never about baghera. it was about his own fears and insecurities when it came to his relationship with dapper — at no point has bad ever expressed that he didn't think baghera would be an amazing mother to dapper… because he knew she would be.
bad avoids expressing emotion outwardly to anyone other than the eggs, but you can tell that baghera's genuine concern for him hits home and that he recognises it for what it is, especially during his """vacation""" arc. he knows that she knows he's sinking, and he knows that his denial is a confirmation in her eyes. but he doesn't mind, and carries on, and knows if he needs her she'll be there.
today's trip to the nether, though, was very symbolic to me in a fun way. when baghera is downed and he realises she fell in the lava, there's no hesitation — he paused enough to gapple up and threw himself in to get to her. when she's safe, baghera just blatantly said "i love you badboy" and he answers "no problem".
he says "i love you too" though, not through words but by the fact that the second they made it out and he realised she wasn't in the overworld, he threw himself back into the nether with 30 seconds on the clock to get to her. he ran, and screamed, and got her through that damn portal because he'd never leave her behind — if he'd gotten stuck, well, they would've been together. but he wouldn't leave her.
and i think there's something even more poignant in the fact that for a moment, subconsciously, bad prioritised baghera over both pomme and dapper — he could've stayed back and hoped she'd make it out, but he went in there to save his friend and his children's mother with no hesitation.
there's a lot about their friendship that is meaningful in all the small moments, but this nether trip? man, it really shows how much they absolutely love each other in detriment of themselves if need be.
bad would risk it all for baghera, and i'll never stop thinking about that.

"obviously i have skeppy jr, who is a little less interactive-a little less easier to handle than dapper and pomme."
PROOF. I FEEL VINDICATED. SKEPPY JR IS NOTHING BUT A LITTLE DIAMOND BLOCK THAT RUNS ON THE WALLS AND CHEWS THROUGH CABINETS. Q!SKEPPY SEES HIM AS A PET WHILE Q!BAD FULLY BELIEVES HE IS A SON.

Thinking about c!Skeppy walking out the the house knowing what he needs to do, what has to be done. Taking a simple iron sword that he can’t even remember who crafted and making his way to the docks. Hearing Bad crying and asking him if he thinks the others will forgive him, a Skeppy who time and time again has says yes. Skill and a desire to make it quick helping to make the blade slice clean. He watches the blood of his best friend deep into the waters of the secret home they made together. And decides that he has to do whatever’s necessary to make sure it doesn’t come to that again.
