wait say more things about devnny’s connection being special in the universe of jthm i need to know what you meant by that please . ❤️
ANON, DON'T GET ME STARTEDDDDD.... (ok, i will try to be... brief)
in the jv universe, the population is PARTICULARLY dumb, comically so, and that has to be taken into account to grasp HOW DIFFICULT it would be for the few "intellectuals" in the population to find a partner that isn't just this:
now of course, devi isn't just smart! she is also extremely creative (which is ALSO in short supply), doesn't suffer jerks (those are in mass), and above all else, is part of an even more niche subculture of goth/alternative/and the like
so lets say, finding someone to have an actual conversation with is hard, like, 1/1,000 people. but it'd be nice if they were alt too, right? 1/10,000. now factor in that you don't want them to be TOO condescending, just sarcastic enough to be witty, maybe 1/100,000? but a fellow creative?? 1/1,000,000!!!!
it may sound like an exaggeration, BUT KEEP IN MIND THE AVERAGE JV CHARACTER... we're talking "I WANT MY SLAW" - "YOU HAVE YOUR SLAW!", it is an ABYSMAL dating scene. devi and johnny finding one another was a miracle!
can you imagine how she reacted when her average customer is (^ i'm looking for a book, i think it was bluuuue) and then johnny comes up to the counter in all black, custom made metal boots, talking the way he does? like a walking thesaurus?
and johnny, finding someone to speak to that listens to him genuinely, and matches his stride in conversation one-for-one? someone that never upset him ONCE in 3 MONTHS!?!?! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE!!
they fit together so well it makes me ill. if not for the horrible, horrible circumstances, they would be perfectly content together, stargazing, painting, and dissecting books and movies, surviving humanity in each other's company </3
