I see that today is the day I finally capitulate to the married cartoon ducks conspiracy
xz holding a buya phone case (ty @sunsandships!!) https://twitter.com/rargiella/status/1320261968062672897
buya's first appearance on the artist's weibo (june 2018)
boji's first appearance on the artist's weibo (july 2018)
"did you work out today?" "I did not!!!"
"baby [baobei宝贝] getting on the motorcycle!" (july 2018)
boya with a birthday cake (august 9 2018)
oops *buya god these names are hard

boji with bling and 👀 SUPREME 👀 (september 2018)
boji with a fuckin sporty sling bag (september 2018)
they appear to be in some sort of children's amusement park (september 2018)
I'm sorry but. is buya eating one of those packaged sausages. my brain says no connection but my heart says bjyxszd (october 2018)
"buya was invited to play at boji's house and said that the water in the swimming pool was a bit cold, seems like winter is coming <laugh cry>" (october 2018)
boji needs fangs. buya has an idea! the idea is, WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, LOLLIPOPS. (october 2018)
boji being a cute lil eleme-esque delivery person and I'M SORRY?????? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SECOND ONE!!!??? (november 2018)
oh just buya putting a lil shining star atop snowman boji never mind that stars aren't a thing you put on top of snowmen as far as I'm aware (december 2018)
what den of iniquity is this (january 2019)
buya goes to medical doctor boji with a problem, turns out he... had a giant lemon inside him all this time? people who can actually read mandarin pls help me out here (january 2019)
I don't know what all the cny symbolism means but it feels romantic is all I'm saying. ALSO, MAHJONG!!! 😍 (february 2019)
a devastating combo: buya trying to learn how to skateboard from a BOOK. mushrooms growing everywhere on a rainy camping trip include out of buya himself while boji hangs out to dry, or something (february 2019)
buya and boji cry while watching a movie (...or tv drama perhaps) and they go travelling! this also really aligns with the "artist is a friend of ggdd" theory lol (march 2019)
buya successful draws (!) things and consumes a lot of yakult / yogurt drink and seaweed snacks. meanwhile one of them SKATEBOARDS (april 2019)
boji tells buya you're not allowed to work on vacation!!! and then they CUDDLE? and boji asks if buya will play boji and buya says NO 😈 (may 2019)
this isn't coupley for me for it seems so sweet. I'm interpreting it as the cartoon artist being very sad and buya being a good friend to him and telling him not to hurt himself (may 2019)
I can't read a lot of this but it's some sort of anniversary celebration! it was posted on june 18 2019. afaict the first instance of buya boji proper is june 16 2018 so that seems... close... OR MAYBE IT'S A YIZHAN ANNIVERSARY DUN DUN DUN
sharing soda; buya doesn't want to go to work; buya is overwhelmed on a busy train but puts in headphones and dreams of a beautiful summertime scene with boji (july 2019)
ok. taking a break for some commentary because july 2019 is like an important moment in bjyx land, it's when cql promo began in earnest and when the supertopic exploded https://twitter.com/oldobsess/status/1315811055453470720
everything before this point was drawn before almost anyone cared about shipping bjyx so the question is WHY WERE BUYA AND BOJI LIKE THIS?

I think the theories are:
1) artist is gg
2) artist is a close friend of gg
3) artist is an og bxg (cql staff that u?)
4) PURE COINCIDENCE
I'm leaning towards 2) or 3), because the artist has lots of older non-buya non-gg-esque art and we don't believe in 4) around these parts 😂. also apparently buya boji merch gets shipped from chongqing [CITATION NEEDED] which idk if this means anything lol 👀
to be clear: I think it's obvious that buya boji artist is a bxg NOW (cf. wangxian art, infinite more references past 2019) but my question is, was it a bjyx comic before the country even KNEW about bjyx? (and why do I sound more like a crazed conspiracy theorist every day?)
ok back on my bs: buya and boji on a water slide together; boji gets tan; boji purchases an ice cold treat for overheating buya (august 2019)
buya loves luffy just like a certain gg we know (october 2019)

btw this thread is just a small sample of 🦆🐔 content - there's so much more - the artist's weibo is here! https://weibo.com/u/1728268932 
boji struggles to carry buya; boji incorrectly guesses whether the plant is fake and has to treat buya to snacks and boba; they usher in the new year together 😭 (december 2019)
buya scrolls thru his phone while tucked underneath a blanket with a "bo" print all of it (!!!!!!); buya gets scary angry and boji is 😰 and hugs him through it (january 2020)
in real life it's quarantine time in china; they have a sleepover and buya tries his hand (wing) at giving boji a haircut 😭 (february 2020)
they're in love your honor (february 2020)
when I consider for a moment that yizhan might know the artist of these cartoons my brain explodes (march 2020)
buya is very stressed out and boji (in a nike sweatband) says to relax 🥰; their domestic life together; I don't know what the last one is but there's a shoe (april 2020)
a lovely outdoor picnic; helping each other look handsome; EXCUSE ME BUT ARE THEY ASSEMBLING LEGOS TOGETHER??? it's sponcon but - still... (may 2020)
summer love; advertising wares for china's shopping festival 6.18; dragon boat festival but make it skateboards (june 2020)
the stars illustration that started this thread was in july 2020! next we have this... god why am I emo over a duck and a chicken lying in a grassy field listening to music together (august 2020)
right in front of my GODDAMN salad (august 2020)
some ships are like bjyx where you have to swallow your dignity to really grasp the candies in store for you. others are easier, like buya boji who here are literally depicted as the star-crossed lovers in the legend of the qixi festival (august 2020)
these were posted as a set and that's all I'm gonna say about that (august 2020)
let's sacalaca!!! (september 2020)
ok we're in the final stretch!!! last 3!!! they are lovebirds. literally lovebirds (october 2020)
AND ON XZ'S BIRTHDAY, WHICH WE KNOW HE DIDN'T GET TO SPEND WITH WYB, HERE IS BUYA SAYING "I MISS YOU" and the caption is "I miss you, really really miss you" 😭😭😭

(october 5 2020)
buya in a bed for two, framed photo of buya and boji on the nightstand, mug heart, tethered to a very long phone charging cable... and telling bemused cct❤️ reporter boji "I love my data cord" (october 2020)
BONUS ROUND wangxian buya boji from yesterday (which was quickly deleted 😭) that started the most recent duck and chicken craze...

is the game of go a metaphor for yizhan's protracted, strategic, and incomprehensible courtship that summer? WE MAY NEVER KNOW https://twitter.com/sunsandships/status/1320268328129032192
what do those chinese characters at the top mean??? I'M SO GLAD YOU ASKED https://twitter.com/sunsandships/status/1320272106282651653
