Journal 3!!! (732/10000)
Is there a thing with UV light radiation because I bought a blacklight for my nonexistent Journal 3 and after exposing my face to it (my eyes and teeth glow!!), and earlier today I brushed my teeth, my toothbrush turned into a florescent colour. Kinda like what you see in yellow highlighters. And that’s kinda worrying.

The Pines are literally the entire fandom when they release that the Journal 3 Blacklight Edition is coming out very soon
Oh Bill, trying to recruit new pawns while possessing Ford’s body without his consent.
“space mom” isn’t bad
for starters, i apologize for making this a separate post; for some reason i cannot reblog the original one. one or both of the bloggers probably blocked me. anyway, here’s the post in question and a link:
i completely disagree with most of this post.
- “Almost everyone can do better than Ford for a boyfriend” This is a disturbing way to begin a post arguing against a maternal figure. You do not give any evidence to support your claim, so I am left to assume you are referring to Ford’s “less desirable” traits, such as his short-sightedness, his tunnel vision, and his social awkwardness, all of which are autistic traits, which you acknowledge later with your reference to infantilization. Your claim that an autistic man with PTSD and anxiety is literally the last choice romantically speaking for anyone, even the worst of people, is degrading to say the least.
- “Ford was a grown ass man when he met her, please stop with that infantilizing bullshit.” It is true that infantilization of Ford and autistic characters in general is a major problem in fan circles; however, I have not seen anything infantilizing of him being directly related to Jheselbraum. The need for care and help does not go away when one becomes an adult, just as a mother remains a mother even when her child has grown up.
- “Can we, as a fandom, stop assigning female characters with the task of caretakers for grown ass men please? It is super sexist and gross.” This is completely ridiculous. For starters, the interpretation of Jheselbraum as a maternal figure for Stanford comes from the fact that she had been treating his wounds for “a long time” and that she continued to watch after him and sought to help him. The only thing sexist about it is, as you mentioned, her character is not observed outside of her relationship to Ford. However, that is not directly related at all to her maternal role, and the idea that being a mother is degrading is an insult to feminist mothers everywhere.
- “Ford… has a mom? Like, we saw her and she existed. She had a shitty husband but she herself seemed an okay mom.” This may come as a shock to you, but it is possible to have multiple parental figures.
- “Could we kindly get some meta about her that doesn’t revolve around Ford Please and Thank You Very Much.” Once again, this is a problem, but it has nothing to do with her relationship to Ford and is a problem with multiple female characters, not just Jheselbraum.
In conclusion, being a maternal figure is not sexist or demeaning. What is sexist is the refusal to see her outside of her relationship to male characters.
journal 3 good ending
ford gives the oracle his number to talk about how great his boyfriend fiddleford hadron mcgucket is. neither of them have any romantic interest in each other.

Alex has been feeling chatty lately over on twitter, and since a lot of these are FAQs, decided to post them for posterity’s sake. (Since he’s in the habit of trimming his feed.)
It’s Friday! The Department of Unexpected Interspecies Friendship is here to help celebrate the return of the weekend with these delightful photos by photographer Mark Taylor of Warren Photographic pairing animals who look impressively similar thanks to their coats. We like to think they’re simply complementing each other’s respective awesomeness, but Warren Photographic has playfully titled this extensive series Identity Theft.
