I need a new hobby

Not just overtly where they clearly lay out the path they want for him without letting him grow. His parents are just as susceptible as he is to outside influence and expectations rather than figuring out what it is they actually want.

We know Aunt Beth lets her taste in decor be dictated by trends, so Deacon's response is to model this behavior and look for external approval of his choices. Knowing he isn't happy- but being afraid to risk failure should he try it his way.

He said yes and loved it

Originally he threatened him with "you better not come back into any book ever" but what does that really mean? Besides pranking or insulting him what can he actually do to Chase if he comes back? He already knows he'd lose in a fight (see ep1), and he doesn't know how to find Chase irl. So if Chase lost the bet and came back, nothing would happen.

And then Chase would know he's all talk and not scary and he really wants Chase to think he's cool :(

Alternate theory: If Chase leaves, Buddy has no one to pay attention to him. So Chase losing the bet would not benefit him either way.

His true passion was to open up a pizza shop.

Buddy: *covers ears* Shut up, your horrible!

Chase: *bows* I'd like to thank my favorite person on the world......Alastair

Buddy: *Uncovers ears and slams Alastair against the wall* HE IS MINE YOU SON OF A BITCH

Buddy's outfit in Beach Boys was the first one that could not cover up how skinny he was, and Chase made it a point to try and bring it up later. He wasn't joking and accidently guessed right, he was trying to bring it up in the most lighthearted way possible.
