BADI, otherwise stylized as Bʌ́di (バディ), was a Japanese magazine for gay men that ran from 1994 to 2019. The magazine first started with illustrated covers, but as gay culture became stronger and men less afraid, they began gracing the covers as well. The magazine published a range of content from manga to life advice, fashion articles and sexual health advisories.

I personally find BADI one of the most beautiful and impactful gay magazines, and it's safe to say it's had a massive impact on gay visual culture. While I don't have a perfect archive that goes back to the early days, I have located all monthly issues of BADI from 2010 to 2019 and saved the covers to my hard drive. I will be scheduling them to post on my blog once a week. They will be tagged under #The BADI Archive.

This post will act as a helpful masterlist, and I hope you all enjoy the ride with me. If possible, I'd love to go back and collect vintage editions as well! Anyone who has any leads, please let me know.

The Pestilent Thickets are where damage begins to loosen its grip.

More polluted than the Lurid Grasslands, these dense growths emerge as contamination concentrates and vegetation tightens into tangled formations that trap lingering toxins. The air remains heavy, the atmosphere unstable, yet the ecosystem has not stopped moving forward.

Within the thickets, the first signs of transition appear. Amid altered flora, traces of familiar plant life begin to return, cautiously reclaiming ground once overwhelmed by chemical disruption.

They are still hazardous. Still marked by the legacy of contamination.

But they are also thresholds, places where the trajectory begins, slowly, to bend back toward equilibrium.

The Pestilent Thickets mark the fragile beginning of recovery.
