This is the first ever Shoutout Saturday post!! I've entered +100 roleplayer accounts into a spinner and let the wheel of fate decide! I will be doing this every week to honor more of my followers and bring a little light onto their roleplay blogs! Please reblog to spread and promote their blogs. It's nice being seen in such a large community. ❤️👑

@holoharbinger / @creationtainted / @etcrnalust

Sai is absolutely such a joy to know and roleplay with. As much as they are funny and kind, I admire greatly their handle on their muses ( Vox/Adam/Asmodeus ). Though I've only roleplayed with their Vox, I do read their interactions on their other accounts and it always blows me away how they can jump from muse to muse and have their voices sing every time. Definitely worth the follow and getting to know better. I'll always recommend them. ❤️

@helluvaflames

Alyssa isn't someone I talk to often. But from the times I had, they're a total sweetheart who's always willing to compromise and plot together. Incredibly understanding; and don't get me started on their portrayals. They roleplay 8 characters from Helluva Boss and even if I haven't had the pleasure of really getting to roleplay with them or see everyone in their arsenal at play, I really think they have an amazing grasp of Stolas and Fizzarolli. ❤️

@infernalfated

Jazzy has a relatively newer blog to the fandom! She roleplays Velvette, Vaggie, Cherri, Emily, Lute and Frank! Which I think is an interesting arsenal of characters to roleplay all together on his little roster. I haven't gotten to speak to them much nor roleplay with them, but the little bit I've seen has been enjoyable so far! Seems like life has gotten a little much for them but I'm sure some new faces and friends could be just what they need. ❤️

How BAD BUDDY SERIES | EP.11 [4/4] Tricked the Fandom

Those who were there watching Bad Buddy live will remember the chaos that ensued after episode 11 (my beloved) and with it the episode 12 preview (derogatory) dropped. Watching a happy and hopeful episode, ending in a lovely montage with an even lovelier song, being told things such as "we became two people who can’t be just friends" or "I want you to know that this world can’t change someone like me either", only to be punched in the gut by "Pat and I broke up" in the very next moment. Those of you who were there will remember how – after the fandom had finally picked up its shattered pieces – there was a scramble to figure out what the hell was happening exactly, how the hell we even got to this point.

And you will also remember the fandom deciding on a specific scene being The Breakup Scene. But how can that be? How can a breakup scene even exist when we know (in retrospective) that they never actually broke up? Did the fandom just collectively hallucinate a scene that wasn't there?

Well, no. Of course not. I think the reason why it worked, the reason why this scene managed to trick the fandom into believing that this was actually the breakup talk was because for one terrifying moment Pran himself thinks it's a breakup talk. However, the fandom was so blinded by the ep 12 preview that it completely missed one key factor from that scene which Pran did realize: it's not in fact a breakup, but the exact opposite of it.

So let's get into it, let's take a closer look at Bad Buddy Ep. 11 [4/4] (01:58 - 05:15) and Pran's emotional rollercoaster during this specific scene:

The scene starts out with Pat sitting on the bench, lost in thought. His exact thought process here is for the viewer to decide, but whatever he is reflecting on has to do with him finally accepting the inevitability of having to back home. And considering his upcoming monologue, he's probably also thinking about his love for Pran and Pran's love for him.

His thinking gets interrupted when Pran walks into the scene, dangling the shirts into Pat's face. They have an interaction about the shirts, Pat puts one on while Pran can't keep his hands off of him, they exchange some words and Pran doesn't really notice Pat's pensive mood, when suddenly –

Pat grabs Pran's hand. Pran was not expecting that, and he looks up at Pat in surprise, asking a silent What is it, what's going on? And I think it's only here that Pran really notices the weird mood Pat is in.

Pat says "thank you" and although Pran looks concerned about Pat's sudden mood change, Pat's words also make Pran smile, though he's still very confused, having absolutely no context for Pat's emotional state and thus having no idea where this is suddenly coming from. "Thank you for what?" Pran asks, still with that searching look in his eyes that asks What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Is everything alright?

Pat replies "For trying to make a silly guy like me happy". And Pran's smile falls just a little bit as he realizes that this? really isn't just Pat being his usual sappy self, this right here is a Serious™ conversation indeed:

Finally, Pran too has arrived in serious mode completely. He now shifts his attention fully to Pat, listening intently to Pat's words, staying focused on Pat the entire time.

Pat says "I know that sooner or later we will need to go back." This gets a very subtle smile out of Pran (you can see how the corner of his mouth on the right side of the screen goes up just a tiniest bit):

Pran reacts to those words, because this has been their conflict throughout the entire episode so far: Pran being realistic, having accepted from the start that they would have to return at some point while Pat was so desperately trying to stay in that pretense that they could just make a new life somewhere else and not turn back, refusing to acknowledge that in the long run this just wouldn't work out. But now Pat is finally acknowledging this, letting Pran know that he understands and that they're on the same page about this. "I know too well",* Pat says and Pran looks like he's about to cry from adoration for Pat pls he's so in love takes that acknowledgement in, still with a hint of a smile on his face.

*(Side note: I seem to hear ทำไม​กูจะไม่รู้ว่ะ (tammai-goo-jà-mâi-róo-wâ) and I think the more literal translation of this sentence would actually be something like "Why wouldn't I know?". Though I'd have to ask a Thai native to confirm as I don't trust my own Thai skills yet. Anyway, I just thought the rhetorical question was interesting in regard to Pran reacting to Pat's statement, bc the rhetorical question addresses Pran more directly compared to the declarative sentence from the subtitles. His reaction is kind of like a reply to that rhetorical question.)

But that hint of a smile is wiped right off Pran's face when Pat continues with "But I just want to stay as long as we can."

And this the moment where the thought hits Pran for the first time that Pat's speech might actually lead to a breakup. He is confused (why would they need to break up over this?) and there is now fear and worry in his eyes. He looks a little scared, his mouth twitches a little, accompanied by the tiniest headshake and there are many questions written all over his face: What are you talking about?? Where is this going?? No, it can't be... Are you implying what I think you're implying?? I don't follow...

And Pat just keeps going: "Be with you for at least one more day."

One more day. That very much does sound like a breakup, doesn't it? Especially if you're already half expecting one. This line confirms Pran's fear of Pat actually being in the process of ending their relationship, leaving Pran on the verge of tears.

But Pran is a fighter and he's not giving in that easily. He sniffs away his rising tears and says "What are you talking about? Get dressed. The bar is opening soon."

What are you saying? We're not breaking up. We're staying here, we'll work at the bar and we'll be together. It'll be fine, don't worry.

Now it's Pran's turn to deflect. To indulge in that fantasy of being able to just run away together into the sunset where everything is all sunshine and rainbows. Because Pran would much rather face the hardships that they might run into if they actually stayed at the beach together than go back home to live a life without Pat. I can be anywhere as long as I have you.

If this is Pat letting him go, Pran really doesn't want to hear it:

Unfortunately, the scene cuts to Pat really quickly, but I just need you all to appreciate Pran's pouty puppy eyes at the end there, because they're the saddest thing I've ever seen:

I won't let you do this, his eyes say. Please don't do this to me, his eyes say. Please tell me you're not really doing this, his eyes say, tell me you're coming to work at Uncle Yod's bar with me. We're staying here, together, you hear me?

Except then Pat surprises Pran yet again. And here comes the part that the fandom completely overlooked in the light of the ep 12 preview:

Because then Pat says "Nobody works on their honeymoon."

And it's absolutely hilarious how Pran's brain immediately gets stuck in "error 404 not found" mode. You can literally see the loading circle going round and round in his brain as he tries to comprehend what Pat has just said:

Honeymoon?? Why are you suddenly talking about something that's related to weddings? Weren't we breaking up a second ago? What in the world is going on?

"You never leave me. You fight alongside me. That makes me feel very happy." Pat says and that's when Pran realizes. This conversation was never about a breakup. This is a conversation about commitment. It's an acknowledgment of Pran's love for Pat and the commitment he's shown over the course of their relationship. And it's a promise that Pat appreciates it, has appreciated it in the past and will appreciate it in the future. Pat has more or less just said his wedding vows to Pran.

And that's when Pran can no longer hold back his tears. Partly due to the relief that he won't lose Pat and partly because he's so moved by Pat's speech, by Pat's love.

And then Pat tells Pran that he's finally ready to go home: "I will let Uncle Yod know that we quit. Wait for me here."

And with that Pat brings closure to the conflict of this episode. They are finally going back home, they are finally going to face their parents. But in this scene right here Pat and Pran made it clear to each other that they'll be doing so with full commitment to one other – they will be doing so together, and that's a promise. They really did just essentially get married on their little beach getaway. They got more or less engaged on the staircase in ep 10 and now in ep 11 they are following up on that engagement. This trip really was their little honeymoon. And this calls for a celebration:

"It’s our last night on this honeymoon. I will not just stay in and be lonely. If we aren’t going to work, then let’s get drunk."

You see, for an entire week the fandom was so blinded by the ep 12 preview (derogatory) and the prospect of a looming breakup that unlike Pran it completely missed the part where Pat points out that they're on a honeymoon. And who goes on a honeymoon? People who just got married.

BONUS:

Can we just appreciate Pran's face when Pat says he'll tell Uncle Yod about quitting:

You fucker really had me thinking we were breaking up for a hot moment there when the whole time this was actually a wedding. I was worried and scared for notHING, can you believe this man

🏳️‍🌈 Vince & Kerry at Night City Pride (1/10) 🏳️‍⚧️

The first but not the last time they're going to NC Pride together :3 Japantown is decked out in rainbow colors, fitting for the city's party district. Vince had been to Pride before, but this is the first time he's attending fully content and confident in himself, looking back on a long and rocky road to get there. Being able to go with Kerry really makes the day (even if he can only keep him on his shoulders for so long xD but worth it!)

There's more to come, many shenanigans and shippy stuff mostly, but I wanted to kick my pride-themed posts off with this set (inspired by similar pics I've seen done by @the-quick-r3d-f0x and @pinkyjulien !!). I legit teared up making these (and typing this now 😭) seeing them both, but especially Vince, so happy and at ease and yeah... kadsöfasfjdsd like, 10 years before this he never could have dreamed of this moment.

Happy Pride 🌈

It's Shoutout Saturday!! I've entered +100 roleplayer accounts into a spinner and let the wheel of fate decide! I will be doing this every week to honor more of my followers and bring a little light onto their roleplay blogs! Please reblog to spread and promote their blogs. It's nice being seen in such a large community. ❤️👑

@hzbinsouled

Moonbeam is someone I've followed for a while now! We talk on very rare occasions but I enjoy seeing them on my dash and interact and roleplay with who they do. The mun is really sweet and they have a wide arrange of muses they roleplay! Even some I don't see much of! I hope to roleplay with them one day soon. ❤️

@cacology

Pan is relatively new! They've been a little busy with life but their writing has been enjoyable to witness with @culling and in general. From the little we've gotten to talk, I love them already and the approach they're going with with their Vox. They should be around soon and we potentially have a thread here going soon and I'm so excited. ❤️

@redemptsin

Fae is another person who we've only recently gotten to follow each other back! I've admired them from afar for a little and adore their mun! They're currently on a hiatus for vacation but their writing is such a treat to see when they're around to roleplay! Another roleplayer I haven't gotten the chance to write with yet but I'm looking forward to it once they're around. ❤️

[whump-quotes]

I made a change to the rules - or not really a change, more a clarification!

"Already existing media" now includes your friends stories!

Specifically, I want to start a thing called "Shoutout Saturday"!

So many of the quotes that stayed with me the most I've read right here on tumblr and AO3, and I know I'm not the only one.

So here's what I came up with!

I'll use Saturdays to specifically post submissions from things that gave you whumperflies from 'non-traditional' media be that fanfics, whumblr, etc.

Try to still keep them short-ish!

They should work on their own, without needing the context of the whole story

In your submissions, include which story you got this from, who wrote it, and where we can find it (either a link, or at least tell me the website)

You can submit them all week, I'll just post them on Saturday!

#whumblr #whump #whump prompt #whump quote #writing #I'll decide if I'll post more than one Shoutout per week once I #Yknow #Got a single submission #Also this is specifically an outlet to support each other but also if you're proud of a specific sentence you've written send it over! #Also it ofc doesn't only have to include friends if you've read sth from a stranger on Tumblr etc that gave you whumperflies go for it! #Also also sorry for the two announcement posts in a row you know me I don't do anything for weeks and then come back and do everything #Shoutout Saturday

Fave day by vibe alone?

the best day for it to be is friday! i know everybody says this but everybody is right on that count

however what i was thinking of in my mind with that was the names of the days in different languages, and on that metric its saturday, because

so many languages have variants of shabbat and i like what they do with the letters;

in early german languages most of the latin day names were calqued with comparable norse deities (e.g. dies iovis [day of jupiter] -> *Þunras dag [day of thor]) but saturns was not (dies saturni -> *Sāturnas dag [day of saturn]) and we dont know why (there are some theories but none of them are good/satisfying theories) which is a nice mystery;

some languages base the name on saturn the planet, such as japanese 土曜日 which is from 土星, a combination of 土 (earth/soil) + 星 (star), and i like that there is a day of soil; and

in some mostly scandinavian languages the name comes instead from the old norse laug[r] (e.g. danish lørdag), which means bath, so saturday is the washing-day, and—apparently completely coincidentally—the te reo māori name rāhoroi means the same thing

#also languages that start their counting with saturday are cool shoutout to amharic and swahili #every day has some interesting etymological stories but saturday has the most to me #ask #benchowmein
