So I have a theory that Jackson's Diary is less of a supernatural and more of a story about two mentally ill people with magic involved and I decided to reread it and keep notes on anything and everything that supports that theory
PS:much easier if you read the chapter after or while reading these notes
Chap1 notes:
•notice how cheery baby Jackson is and acting too understanding and good for a child so young like him but when his mom leaves his eyes start to tear up right away. he's repulsing his negative emotions to gain his mom's love and attention through being a good boy despite being seemingly left alone quite alot
•Jackson being formal with his adopted parents despite later on learning they have adopted him since he was a child sounds like a sign on previous negative things
•Jackson being frustrated by being called cute is a positive sign that he feels allowed to be frustrated. also notice how his (and maybe exer's) theme seem to be the sky and stars
•Jackson having eye bugs tells you he haven't been sleeping all that much and his comments about how ever since they moved he have been haunted by these nightmares about his mom tells that the whole town seem to be trigger for his trauma
•his words about himself being a sad little kid lost in the middle of nowhere is acknowledging he wasn't happy in his childhood, he will later on in s3 say the exact opposite and call himself a happy child with creative imagination
•his tio&tia seem to think they're doing the right thing but they're unaware that being here is hurting Jackson inside and Jackson himself seem to be hiding this from them
•'I just need to get out of my head' this sounds very innocent at first but once considering his repulsed behavior it sounds like a very subtle way to tell himself to pretend the negativity away
•the way Jackson looked at exer when he looked beside him and his expression tells that he might have sensed something strange in exer's behavior and the way he carrys himself to others but he decided to brush it away right after exer got out of his eye sight because knowing what's up with exer could very much make it harder for him to act
•Jackson stopping at his track before it looks like exer and David will handle it but staying to see how it will go before thinking that Rick and Morty need to pay for the way they're acting- Jackson had green on the close-up to his eyes panel before exer uses his own magic- it's not clear but personally talking I feel like they were thinking the exact same thing at that moment and it's why Jackson had green
•Jackson's reaction to the shoes but not the green is a sign he couldn't see the color of the magic then it's only when exer looks him in the eyes and holds his gaze that he shows sign of seeing it even more there's green in his eyes too- that could be a sign that they're both seeing right through each other's facades and that caused Jackson to see the green
i dunno if there’s a lookism fandom on tumblr but that one dude in charge of hostel 2.0? the awful human being??? olly wang (i had to look it up). yeah his backstory was sad, yeah his life sucked. i can sympathize with that
but i cannot take people literally saying like, aww poor dude, he just had a bunch of bad stuff happen to him,,,, so sadd,,, he deserved better :((((
like he was a kid, and the oppressive environment he grew up in etc was awful. no denying that.
HOWEVER he did so much bad shit. he weaponized children, and sold them!!! stop saying poor babby :(((( that genuinely upsets me. i know it’s just fiction, but it makes me so mad. Just because he had a rough life doesn’t mean he’s a poor babbbeyyy uwu. It doesn’t justify all of the truly awful shit he did.
i know this is really late and everything, and there might have been people who said this already, but i caught up after not reading it for a while and the top comments (that i just happened to see on webtoon when i read it) all said stuff like this and it upset me. I’m not attacking anyone, this is my opinion.
It’s my opinion that it’s possible to feel bad for all the stuff that happened in his childhood without downplaying all the bad stuff he did. It’s a complex narrative, we can have complex feelings about it. I don’t think it should be simplified down to, he had no other choice bc his childhood was so bad :((
Like i said, this isn’t attacking anyone. I know my words were harsh (this is a rant post lol and i wanted to get this off my chest), but i genuinely don’t mean to offend anyone, or downplay anyone’s feelings on this. i’m pretty sure no one was justifying his actions when they said this stuff, but i do think it downplays the awful things he did and oversimplifies the situation. these just my feelings toward the situation, and like i said, i wanted to get them off my chest
I wanted to redraw Sera from that one panel
Hi I just want to recommend a very good romance webcomic to my mutuals. It's called I Can't Be This Stupid or He Can't Be This Dumb. It's finished and you can read it on Tapas (or illegally cough). I really love that the main couple has COMMUNICATION. ISTG A LOT OF ROMANCE WEBTOONS DON'T HAVE THIS. I mean there is still conflict but not to the point where you physically want to go in and just tell them to stop. Also this webtoon is very cute and Doha is probably one of the best female mc I have seen. You may be asking why am I giving a recommendation on a romance webcomic all of a sudden? Because I can, end of story (I actually want more people to talk about it...) (also before you say anything, I finished it months ago so you don't have to worry about my spm studies lmao)
I'm good with anything. You should now that. Lol, do you have anything in mind?
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TIM!
