time for another “THANK YOU I LOVE YOU” message: THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!! i’ve been struggling with some severe burnout in all facets of my life as a result of being too stubborn and prideful to recognize said burnout and so i’ve had a hard few weeks with just that + tumultuous personal life stuff + blah blah blah, and wanted to say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! i’m giving a little rest from reviews and art (moreso the former) since i was really forcing myself to make ends meet and turning it into a chore and so i’m just kind of forcing myself to stop and rest and be a person. which is excruciatingly hard for a GO GO GO person like me so i just wanted to say thank you for your patience and understanding with that! and thank you for your support!!! i haven’t had the emotional bandwidth to answer asks or DMs lately but i promise i see them and am seriously grateful for everyone who has sent one in, i really want to share the love and get back on my feet and be more active and open and talkative since I LOVE INTERACTING WITH YOU GUYS!! so i just wanted to say thank you for your patience and support in spite of all that. i’m usually my worst enemy in terms of putting the most pressure under myself and buckling under it as a result, i know realistically nobody is sharpening their harpoon gun because i didn’t touch a review for a week. but i wanted to put out a message as a bit of peace of mind regardless 🙏 thank you for your support in any capacity and know that i am extremely grateful for it beyond words!

fanon vs canon is kinda interesting to me bc on one hand, i don’t understand how someone could treat fanon as their “sandbox to play in” when it’s so far removed from any source material that the foundation isn’t solid enough to build on top of. on the other, i feel like it’s the comic reader’s rite of passage to cherrypick and outright ignore certain writing choices
i get that it’s a matter of familiarity and how informed one’s decisions are, but sometimes it feels like canon-based interpretations get treated like fanon anyway, so maybe the true difference is just how annoying it is

Every single time I rewatch npmd I pick a new character to project onto and make aroace lol. First watch was Jason, second was Richie and third time around was Stacy. Partially because she just has The Vibe (to me anyway) but also because of way overthinking the line: “yeah, money isn’t everything. Looks are!” Maybe she doesn’t feel romantic and sexual attraction but she does feel aesthetic attraction so she just assumes that people date each other because they find each other pretty. Maybe she said it to try and blend in because all of her friends are hung up on looks and always talking about how hot people are and she doesn’t want to be the odd one out. And then the way she gets way more excited/invested talking about the big game coming up than anything else in the conversation and so excited to show Steph their new cheer. It’s almost as if she doesn’t quite understand why being stood up would be so upsetting for Steph because she doesn’t want anyone to take her to Pasqualli’s, she just wants to cheer and have fun with her friends and vibe. Also her and Brenda have had one fight in their whole friendship and it was because she didn’t get why it was such a big deal that Max wouldn’t let her date Kyle. They made up and she admitted she doesn’t like anyone like that and Brenda was just like “okay, cool” and she was so relieved her bestie doesn’t think she’s weird for it.

Wait...so remember that episode where Dib is talking to the Tallest on Zim's monitor--do the Tallest understand what he's saying and vise versa? OR did Zim give the Tallest a stack of info on Earth's culture and languages ahead of time and they now of a inkling of a understanding of Earth speak? I know they never had a proper conversation, but that post about irken languages got me thinking about it 🤔
I think it’s funnier if the answer is no. Because despite Dib talking to the Tallest non stop, the Tallest never reply. They just stare at Dib and talk to each other about the size of Dib’s head. So the Tallest are watching this small creature with a massive head excitingly make a bunch of noises at them that they don’t understand in the slightest.
Meanwhile Dib is calling the Tallest alien scum and asking for their planet’s coordinates.

i never thought I was someone who held onto friends too long while they’re hurting me but DAMN Im just stupid!!!! the pain of not being prioritized. my GOD it’s like I truly believed they’d be there for me through this life transition. and radio silence. my energy has been so unconsciously pessimistic towards friendship the past few months just cus I can’t count on them but they’re saying I can. total mixed signals and I’m like wait there’s literally no reason I have to be friends w them if they make me feel alone and isolated even though we had a good thing going for a while. damn I’m really trying to grow into this new phase im proud of me
