#it's a miss for me

[peppertaemint]

Jungkooks song isn’t that bad. I know he’s trying to break a stereotype of him being the youngest and wants to be seen more mature but that guy was not a need for this song 😭 and I don’t get the hate towards jungkook cuz his lines were fine it’s just Harlows….

I'm gonna be real with you. I think that even though Harlow's lines are egregious and charmless and pretty much offensive, I don't think that Kookie comes out much better.

The song itself is about having some sort of relationship, whatever that is, with someone online in 2-D, i.e. video film, pictures, and wanting to bring that into 3-D, which is in person. That in itself is a not an issue; I've been there - seeing someone in person is exciting for the 3-D action, LOL.

My problem is that the song is so focused on the sexual act/encounter like a science experiment. You add the womanising and the objectifying, and it doesn't come off right for me. 

I'll contrast the song with Rod Wave's Turks and Caicos featuring 21 Savage. This is another sort of innocuous song about "player" behaviour. The chorus is the girl girls girls all over the world blah blah blah. But it still has charm, and it paints a portrait of a woman as a person to an extent. They talk about the girl being a vibe and bad bitches you better grab one. It's not just a list of "I have these chicks and I want to fuck them and I wanna see what it's like to fuck in person". That feels so clinical and there's a distance there, and it feels objectifying and gross.

I do think this song is charmless and sexist and pretty boring. Overall disappointing. 🤷‍♀️ and I do think that Kookie trying to make it sound like it's about monogamy in press/PR just doesn't work.

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

thinking about how stan was able to play off finding journal 2 so easily in front of so many people

but when he soon finds out 3 was under his roof for over a month he needs a moment to regain his composure

he's been looking for the books for over 30 years and they both just fall into his lap in less than a few days
