2Ds journal...
This has been bugging me for over a month now. But has anybody ever decided to look at 2Ds journal under a blacklight to see if there are any hidden messages? It just comes off as weird seeing how much space the journal has... and how some pages aren't even used up completely.
Man, idk about you guys, but this whole thing with 2D's journal is really fucking me up because while y'all can try to say The Now Now is all about positivity and moving on it's clear 2D is still struggling to do these things.
Most, if not all the songs give off very heartbreaking and sad vibes-- with the exclusion of Humility, but as Russel said in the Q&A:
Look, I don't ship 2Doc.
Never have, never will. I do however think 2D has at least some sort of vaguely self aware Stockholm Syndrome going for him. The journal is a wrestle between hatred and heartache.
Just take this:
Versus this:
Not to mention how all images of Murdoc are scribbled out angrily:
But there's also a FREE MURDOC slogan plastered across the page and the words "where have you gone?" scribbled underneath:
I guess what I'm kind of getting at with this clusterfuck of a post is that this situation isn't black and white-- 2D to us might objectively be better off without Murdoc, but does he feel that way? I remember hearing that Damon said something along the lines of The Now Now being an accumulation of 2D's thoughts rather than something political or catchy-- and his thoughts tell us a very different story. Sure, he's happy to a certain extent, but there's a jumble of other feelings and emotions blended in: regret, anger, longing, fear.
Everyone has their own interpretations on things, and I won't be The Policing Asshole, but claiming The Now Now is a tale of positivity and fleeing from abuse just seems kind of off to me. Not that claiming 2D has a crush on and misses Murdoc is much better, but that's a post for another day.
Here's hoping 2D manages to get the best from his soul searching, and that fanon interpretations on him and this album will become more deep and (ironically) 3D.

Wait what 2D journal? Where can we see it?
