Top three Bandroid moments go! :)

i refuse to order them within themselves but:

i am extremely basic so s1 finale w/ the government agents & drones converging on the stage and Binary Heart swelling, CHILLS DAMMIT

that scene early on in s2 before everything goes to shit where paul drumbot and bailey are on jon & paul's sofa (jon's getting drinks or smth? or talking to zhu ming? sorry it's been ages since I rewatched) and jesse just full on sprawls across all three of them, and it's this lovely moment of casual physical affection between all of them and drumbot is fully included in that visually (it's sitting in the middle of the sofa and most of jesse is across its lap) and, like, the fact that they've come this far in this short a time... idk. it's small but i really like it

s4 when that one mook comes up pretending to be a fan and starts getting all up in Drumbot's face and May just DECKS him; extremely hot, extremely good for me personally

While we're on the subject of getting Bailey Kane a girlfriend, why NOT May?

Absolutely zero objections here, nonny!

My personal favorite ship is with Jodie McKee, from the totally-not-a-Josie-and-the-Pussycats-expy in the Battle of the Bands arc — there were DEFINITELY sparks flying and I think it would've been interesting how the show played out a longer rivals-to-lovers angle — but there's something really special about BaileyMay too. <33

Bailey Kane from Bittersweet Symphony is asexual!

Perpetually baffled by the claim that just because May took over for Jesse in season 3, the band never really cared about Jesse and all their contributions to the band were erased

You're not alone, anon! We literally see Jesse having dinner with the band after their performance in Poisson Villa! There's a scene where May consults with them about that riff in "I Never Meant"! Did all these people who claim Jesse's contributions were erased just completely miss the fact that Jon gets Bailey to come back by reminding her that Jesse always believed in her??? Like don't get me wrong I miss Jesse too but some people are really reaching when they're trying to be mad on their behalf

wait they made two more seasons of bandroid?? i only saw the first one how am i so out of the loop 😭😭 i was so gay for bailey when i watched it

there are FIVE SEASONS now!!! I can confirm that you will continue to be gay for Bailey if you continue to watch. The show does take a bit of a turn as the seasons go on, with the threats to Drumbot (and therefore the rest of the band) increasing in severity and scope, and NOT TO SPOIL ANYTHING but there are also some time travel shenanigans in a later season, idk if that sweetens the pot for you or not but it is certainly a thing that happens

I'm still sad there isn't a bigger proponent of the fandom shipping Bailey with Eolus. I know the android is Animated Series Only, but the moments between Eolus and Bailey, when xie fought against the gov's programing to save the band, and their last goodbye!? I'm still not over it. 😭😭😭 [Girlfriends can be genderqueer androids, too.]

Girlfriends CAN be genderqueer androids too!!! 🙌

Look, I know some people don't like to cross the streams of different adaptations, but I am personally a huge proponent of the Frankencanon in basically every fandom I've ever been in. (*waves to all my bewildered Marvel and danmei buddies*) And why would we NOT want more android characters in the Bandroid canon??

Plus, Eolus is just... undeniably awesome. Xie can LOCALLY FREEZE TIME for heck's sake! (Which—side note—we the smut writers of this fandom have really been sleeping on THAT possibility... ahem...) Also xie may technically not be live-action canon, but who else was that comment about "the ones we hope to see again" when Bailey and Drumbot had their heart-to-heart in S4E13 supposed to be about?

I am but a humble multishipper, nonny, but you've got my vote!!
