Your story matters, your ideas are good, and someone out there is going to fall in love with your world.

I miss the old, wacky, neurodivergent-coded Caine. This new "normal" guy they replaced him with is bleh

I guess the message is that if you have autism and/or AuDHD, you have to become neurotypical to be part of a group. Never lash out or get too "crazy" again. Apologize if you do and say "Sorry! Force of habit :(" then go back to being "normal"

Thanks for this message, tadc. In other words...

"Look at the circus members having so much fun going on adventures, are they seriously implying that their lives got better once Jax abstracted?!" Actually, yes, that is EXACTLY what can happen. I had a "Jax" in my class. Retrospectively, I understand that he was failed by his parents and probably needed help. But honestly? He made our class' daily life hell. He'd been with the class since Kindergarten, but I only joined in 6th grade. And even then, up until 10th grade, it was still hell. He'd disrupt lessons by yelling, starting fights, even throwing stuff at the teachers.

And it all dragged us down with him. Fun activities that the teachers had planned for us? He just HAD to ruin them (either by stealing materials, breaking them or just disobeying wherever he could). Eventually, we became THAT class in school. The one that didn't get to do cool stuff. No more cool chemistry experiments, no more physics experiments, just chalk-and-talk lessons, a worksheet, and homework. That was it. All because of one "Jax" in our class.

A teacher insisting on collective punishment (which I hate btw, but that's another topic for another conversation)? Our "Jax" would stir shit up on purpose and smile in glee when the whole class got punished for his actions.

The only reason our "Jax" didn't get expelled sooner was because his mom was the vice president of the parent council. But even she could not save him when he fucked up the exams all of us had to take to pass 10th grade. He finally left the class…and we FLOURISHED. The average grades got better, the mood improved, teachers actually got along with us again.

These last 2 years at school were the best we had. All because our "Jax" was finally gone.

So, yes, sometimes, the witch dying is a good thing.

Can someone please tell me why most popular YouTubers have relations with Shadman of all people??

First it was Zach Hadel (psychicpebbles, also part of Oneyplays and the creator of Smiling Friends) being buddies with him, then Arin Hanson’s wife Suzy wearing one of his shirts to promote his merch, then we got one of Mr Beast’s colleague that had his art displayed on her walls, SrPelo used to interact with Shadman (and who knows if he regretted it or not-)

and now we have Gooseworx “joking” about taking Shadman’s place when he got arrested along with Jobby being a fan of Shadman

I will never understand why or even how you can be so buddy-buddy with someone who drew porn of real life children

Something I kind of dislike about the """girl Jax design""" is that it positions Jax as having more choice over her appearance than the rest of the cast. Jax CHOSE that hair, Jax CHOSE that bow, Jax CHOSE that outfit, but the rest of the cast are still stuck in a body that is not their own, they cannot make choices (afaik) to change themselves. Only Jax can. It once again is telling me that the show views Jax having more autonomy over herself as a net positive, but for the rest of the cast it is not. Considering there's another member of the cast who is also gender queer and stuck in a body they dislike (Zooble) but they are forced to essentially Suck It Up and Learn To Love Themself etc etc. It's unfair and cruel.
