Buddy

Buddy is a mascot for the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, and has many, many varients for different factions, typically those accoiated with the Chromatic Empire. It means a lot to many users on Pxls, and is an emote on Pxls chat and the Pxls discord.

History

Early Buddy's intended look

Canvas 26

On Canvas 26, an early version of Buddy was built, laying the groundwork for all future buds. While he was griefed, you can see what he looked like before the grief in timelapses. However, Buddy was largely forgotten after this.

Canvas 41

Buddy's appearence on the LoF Safe Zone revived interest in Buddy, landing him a place as an emote on the Bahamaland Discord Server. While slightly shorter, this Buddy resembles the modern Buddy very closely.

Buddy appeared again in NBGM, which had revived a few canvases ago.

Canvas 50

Canvas 50 and forward, Buddy became a crucial part of NBGM, and there would rarely be a template without him.

Canvas 55

The Chromatic Empire was formed, and custom buddys were made for Orange Gang and The Purple Empire. The Chromatic Empire's Discord server was jokingly called the "Buddy emote dump" due to the amount of Buddys, and it would be required that all future Chromatic Empire subjects would have a Buddy made in their colour.

Canvas 60

The Metallic Monarchy and Watermelon Province were formed, the first of many Chromatic Empire vassalized factions. They had their own unique buddys, starting a trend for future vassals.

Canvas 63

The Buddy emote was removed from Pxls, despite it's frequent use, and the infinite room for emotes on the Pxls website, and more than enough on the Pxls discord which was boasting 15 boosts at the time. Chromatic Empire members saw this as an offence.

Canvas 64

Many measures were taken place to help get Buddy restored on Pxls including:

• Extreme begging, mainly from eve
• The "Bring Back Buddy" text on the Miku Monarchy x Watermelon Province collab
• eve's daily posting of Buddys in #six-hour-slowmode, which she presisted with until Buddy was back
• Nizrab's plugin which restored buddy to Pxls chat, but only to those who had the plugin, causing confusion and unnessesary separation.

A combination of these measures, which were unlikely to die down, and the drama which happened around this time regarding Pxls ownership, saw Buddy's return to the Pxls server. The (in chat) text added below the Bring Back Buddy text served as the final poke needed to get Buddy back in Pxls chat.

Canvas 67

Liam, leader of NBGM, LoF, Bahamaland and ChE appointed eve to lead the Knights of Buddy, a faction dedicated to the defence and organization of the vast amounts of Buddy varients being shared as emotes, and being built on canvas. This included Buddys considered "cursed" such as Can Buddy, Fella, and Mikuddy.
