Lmao I had a dream that Jojo announced she won't be working on linked universe anymore because it just wasnt working out for her the way she envisioned, and the way she chose to convey the message was via video where a bunch of cosplayers dressed as all the links said that they loved the readers, that they hoped we were talking care of ourselves, and explained that their lives were calling them so they had to leave their story unfinished. In that video Jojo was also explaining some of her drawing process which involved having a mask for each of the links to help with the different poses at stupid angles, like you sometimes need to do for comics.

All in all, the community took it pretty well. Yeah there were people who were devastated (the sheer number of posts on Tumblr with just crying gifs) but everyone also respected Jojo as an artist and as an individual and literally none of the hate was directed towards her. It was nice.

You know who the hate was directed towards?

This one user had posted the previous day smth like "got yeeted into the future, you mfs aren't ready for The Spoiler™ about to come tomorrow" in the fashion that Tumblr users tend to do. And literally the next day Jojo announced the call-off. Poor guy's inbox was drowned with comments about "YOU COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS" "HOW DARE YOU" "YOU" and so on. Most of it satirical and harmless aggression (the person wasnt even in the fandom), but they did also receive genuine hate.

It was really funny 10/10 would dream again.

A reminder that being an introvert isn't a negative trait. And I think people should get that in their head.

one day, you’re collecting stickers and stuffed animals, and the next, you’re collecting reasons to keep going.

I still very vividly remember the first time I was told I was 'fat'.

Keeping in mind, if I lost any more weight I would very rapidly fall into the 'dramatically unhealthy' scale. I'm not bone-thin or anything, but I don't have a lot to lose. And I'm also, y'know. Anemic. (Though frankly, if I wanted to lose more than another 10-ish pounds I'd need a fucking bonesaw. I have a pretty sturdy frame.)

It happened in high school, when I was eating lunch(y'know, cause I was hungry. So I ate like I was hungry.) and was told that eating that much would make me 'even fatter'. My crime in question was having TWO of the smaller-than-palm-size squares of brownie from the cafeteria. Alongside leftover vegtable dumplings, which I'd brought from home.

Now- I was homeschooled for most of my childhood. And I was californian, and very sheltered. So my reaction to this was not shame or offence. I wasn't raised in a culture where being fat was considered especially bad. Food was good, and as long as you're active enough to maintain basic health, there aren't very many problems with it.

The first instance of 'dieting' I was ever exposed to was Stacy McGill in the Baby-Sitters Club. The only others I saw were family friends who couldn't eat gluten, or dairy, or some other food type because of specific health problems or allergies. I did know one vegan, but she was also a really overzealous Christian who was kinda the 'weird lady' on my block. Who is also the reason I thought Christians were required to be vegan for the first eight years of my life.

My mom did 'diet' in front of me once, but it was an elimination diet because of IBS because she was trying to re-introduce a bunch of different kinds of foods into her diet so she could digest them properly. Dieting was something you did because of specific health problems, or weird religious requirements. Not to lose weight, unless you had a specific problem that required it.

So my response was to put the brownie down, look over at the girl who'd said it with a hell of a lotta concern, and just whisper 'Honey, are you okay?'

She was, needless to say, somewhat surprised by this reaction.

She asked what the hell I was talking about. I then said 'Sweetie, I'm not fat. I don't have much extra. And if you think I'm too fat, I'm terrified of the standard you're holding yourself to.'

She didn't seem to have much to say afterward, so I went back to eating my brownie. But I'm pretty sure I saw her crying afterward.

And this isn't even the same girl I accidentally convinced to stop shaving by just being genuinely confused why it was something people did.

So yeah, a homeschooled Californian teenager is an invasive species in a UK public secondary school.

I ended up getting pulled out of school eventually, because while I proved too autistic most for the social bullying, the violent bullying was still fairly effective.

But a YEAR after I left the school, I talked to somebody else who attended. I didn't know her name. I hadn't known she existed. But she knew MY name, and could describe shit I'd done in detail. According to a report card, apparently the fucking teachers were talking about me on their break. Even several of the teachers I'd thought fucking hated me, so that was something.

Another thing

So in the friends giving episode Cal mentions he parks a few blocks away if he's lucky. WHY TF DO YOU NEED A CAR????

The states can literally teleport anywhere tf they want with a snap of their fingers. TF DOES HIS BROKE ASS NEED A CAR FOR??? He already struggles with rent and he's wasting money on a fucking CAR???? TELEPORT DUMBASS???? HELLO???

I can get a state wanting a car bc it can look nice and maybe they wanna blend in more, especially if it's like a nice jeep (which i hc Colorado has) or some shit. Like it's okay to have nice things but bro. CAL, YOU CAN HARDLY AFFORD RENT? AND YOU HATE THE TRAFFIC ANYWAY!!! He's so dumb. Genuine lack of intelligence. Can't afford shit yet still spending money. Also fuck Crunchyroll, pirate ur shit like a man. 🦅🦅🦅
