after a couple months within this fandom, i'm just now realizing how much more painful it's gonna be if in season 10 buddie doesn't go canon (which is generally around 60/40% depending on who you ask with the introduction of Theo back into the picture)

originally, back when S8E15 was released on april 17th, 2025, i was mostly only watching "The Rookie" and any major deaths that have happened happened earlier in the first four seasons with captain andersen and jackson as well as other less sadder deaths with armstrong, rosalind, jason, and monica. Given that context, I was really shocked by the reactions to bobby's death and the events and seasons leading up to it, though I didn't think that it was that big of a deal personally since I didn't watch the show at the time

and, in the year and couple months since, during the hiatus before "The Rookie" returned earlier this year, I picked up 2-3 additional shows, though none of which is holding me HOSTAGE like buddie is </3
in reality, i've waited like a couple weeks while season 9 was airing, but even that is killing me honestly (i don't get how some of y'all who've been watching from the start waiting for even bi buck have been doing this). only other similar experience i've had is watching the first few seasons of "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" and giving up once i've realized that 27 seasons in, the closest they've gotten is a near kiss in season 24 and them continuing to exchange emotional "i love yous", even as a straight couple on network television 🫩🫠

for context, i've been watching the rookie since season 2, back when the first glimpses of the will they/won't they of chenford had started (mostly due to the chemistry between the actor/actress on the show, much like with the actors mentioned here)

provided the context above, chenford lowkey only took around 3 seasons despite all of the breakups and trauma they're lowkey GOING through rn. given having waited around six seasons for a little bit of happiness, ig it isn't that bad of a trade; on the other hand, buddie is glacially slowburning even as someone who just recently started watching the show 🫩

if we're gonna be honest, there were plenty of opportunities for buddie to start getting the ball rolling (ex: 4x14, 7x04, 8x06, and so much more). while 8x06 would've been my personal favorite, with so many little moments here and there that could've snowballed into something substantial at the end when buck shows up with beer heartbroken and eddie partying it up (lmao). though, as of far, there's little to nothing even indicating of any canon possibilities, though if anything were to happen it would probably have to start with eddie questioning his sexuality in some form
^ my personal favorites on this happening though would be either eddie seeing buck in a new light when the four of them (buck, eddie, chris, and theo) are hanging out and someone tells eddie that he has a wonderful family (ex: reference to 2x10) orr a jealousy-driven realization, mirroring buck's arc where seeing buck get heartbroken over men he would probably deem as not being worth buck's time would cause him to get weirdly possessive or unsettled over his own possible feelings for buck and how it might affect their friendship considering how when buck first came out to him, he said that nothing would change

my hope is that they follow a similar arc as with chenford in season five, though any confessions and/or realizations wouldn't probably happen till around the season break/mid-way point, which could also serve as a really good cliffhanger with a nice canon will they/won't they. then come christmas with hopefully eddie coming to realize that his conflicting feelings with regards to buck might be even bigger/messier/complicated than he could've imagined 🫣😮‍💨

trade (for reference): draghetto (20M) for either khaoi soi (21.16M) or tung tung clownissimo (18.29M), all around the same level and size otherwise
values have truly ruined this game's economy and trading system

waiting on wave wednesday to upgrade them, but these are the infinities that i have atm:
- infinity la neutron tikitress level 242

- electric infinity anububu level 257 big 1.5x

- infinity anububu level 243

- infinity blocks (2)

given that i have less than 10 tokens to even offer, what would make for a good offer that would be a fair trade for both sides? or, if anyone has the brainrot and is looking to trade it for any of these, feel free to comment down below

(credits to the op) i want to remake the following snoopy and woodstock sweaters above using some old crewnecks that i no longer wear, but idk how to extract the pattern or however that kinda stuff works without the org design (and, lowkey, since i've only got two (or technically one so far since the other one's somewhere in storage)) to work with, i'm a little intimidated by how much is probably gonna go into this than expected

i included a picture of the color of the sweater, but there's also a pre-exisitng design via screen printing (i think) that i also need to remove. anyone know what's the best way of going about that? and, for the patterns on the sweaters, should i try to redraw them by hand on felt (i think that was what was used before it was embroidered on) or does anyone else have any suggestions?

main offer - choice of infinity: standard anububu level 240/245, emerald anububu level 243 size big 1.5x, standard magmew level 244, khao soi level 234, or infinity block and 50 tokens and additional adds below that you can pick from (amount depends on which infinity you pick and what else is offered possibly):

- divines:
emerald centrifuga narwhalus rex level 230 size 0.81x,
gold glacierello infernetti level 300 mini 0.44x,
electric freezeti cobretti level 131 big 1.5x
gold cupitron consoletron level 235 colossal 2x,
emerald bulbito bandito traktorito level 300 mini 0.44x,
gold bulbito bandito traktorito level 276 size 0.87x,
electric bulbito bandito traktorito level 19 size 0.96x,
candy bulbito bandito traktorito level 244 size 0.98x

- lucky blocks: admin blood omen lucky block (store), admin lucky block, lucky block (store)

doom lucky block, money lucky block, cloverfield lucky block, gamer lucky block, gold ufo lucky block

(blood, emerald, standard) candy lucky block, (showtime, standard) carnival lucky block, (gold, standard) radioactive lucky block, (emerald, standard) phantom lucky block

(emerald, standard) celestial lucky block, divine lucky block

next infinity im planning on maybe getting (it's between la neutron tikitress or something else, idk yet), ive got a level 230-ish anububu (edit: or magmew) so far so what should i add in terms of tokens, lucky blocks, divines, etc in order to get it?

i need around 8 tokens or so, but just curious also if it's worth more and/or less and if anyone's interested in buying it
