We have merch now! Well. We have a merch. One singular merch. But it's a pretty funny T-shirt if we do say so ourselves.

We have merch now! Well. We have a merch. One singular merch. But it's a pretty funny T-shirt if we do say so ourselves.
So it's a very special day for us... The Buddie System turns two ✌🏼 years old today! 🥳 We're incredibly grateful to every one of y'all who listen and watch our episodes and laugh right alongside us, and for a show that continues to inspire and keep us yapping endlessly!
It kind of blows our minds to look back on these past two years, and makes us even more excited for what's yet to come! Thank you for being on this journey with us! 🫶🏼
Also, join us in celebrating with our wildly unhinged 2nd Anniversary Special playing Would You Rather: 9-1-1 Edition 🎉🤪
In 2025's last full-length episode, your hosts brought some hot fics and even hotter takes to the table as we discussed our perspective on what fandoms "hit (or remained in) the zeitgeist" this year. From The Pitt to Arcane to Interview With the Vampire our conversation led us to topics such as:
humor as a cultural indicator
the impact of big media companies in an increasingly siloed media landscape
the risks of creating progressive media
and science fiction as a reflection of social anxieties
Fics discussed in this episode:
"the fifth element," by copycat_punisher (The Pitt) "love, letting go," by theroyalsavage (Arcane) "Cunk on Fangs," by beemovieerrotica (IWTV, Cunk on Earth)

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY BABES WE’RE GOING TO THE COTTAGE AND TALKIN’ BOUT GAY STUFF
ENJOY OUR FIRST VALENTINE'S DAY EP!!!! WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!! 💖💕💕💖💕💖
i’m thinking about starting a podcast with my husband where i deep dive fandom shipping like it’s a respected academic field and he sits there like a court-appointed skeptic
like i’m explaining why a 0.3 second eye contact scene permanently altered my brain chemistry and he’s like “they were just standing near each other”
we will be covering:
– the psychological impact of “there was only one bed”
– why slow burn is actually a form of emotional torture
– how one (1) hand touch can sustain a fandom for 10+ years
he brings logic. i bring peer-reviewed delusion and whimsy.
would anyone listen to this?!! What topics would you want?
That YouTube thing I did
I don't think I ever shared that time I was asked to talk on a Podcast about fanfiction writing and hanging out in a fandom. At first, I was very nervous about sharing my real name and face and stuff, but I figured if my kiddo found it eventually, she would hopefully be old enough to write in her own fandom.
(Spoiler alert: kiddo is going to be twelve at the end of this month and is writing and reading Marvel fanfiction. I'm so proud I can't stand it. Chip off the old block and all that.)
So, I went on a podcast named Trauma Bondage. We do talk a bit about writing and fandom interactions, but then the conversation devolves a bit into kinks and such so, if you don't want to know more about me than you read in fics, probably don't watch this, but you can check out the video here.
heyyyy i started a podcast about random stuff that comes to my brain :3
updates every friday afternoon!!
i do cuss a little so if that’s not your jam i totally respect that, but this is just my circus that i’ve thrown myself into.

NEW EPISODE: Runce in Peace (The Deadly Assassin)
We were devastated to hear of the assassination of the Gallifreyan president, and checked in with our favorite newscaster Runcible the Fatuous to discuss the calvinball that is Gallifreyan politics, our recurring nightmares, and also Runcible, the single most important Gallifreyan in Doctor Who history.
