im genuinely always thinking about what the bunk bed conversation between the webseries and viceland sounded like. how much of a fight did jay put up about it? did they go pick them out together or did Matt just show up and start building? did they naturally start to sleep interchangeably in them? did Matt pull some bullshit about how "what if we wake up in the middle of the night with an idea? that's always when I come up with my best plans!" they don't even go upstairs to change into their pajamas, they just start taking their clothes off in the middle of the living room. they have virtually no privacy. it's ridiculous. it's insane! matt johnson please call me I just have some questions

level 1 of watching nirvanna the band is thinking that matt is mean and abusive towards jay, next level is thinking they're both horrible and abusive towards each other, final level is understanding that jay is a demon with learned helplessness who needs to be sentenced to the electric chair for looking at matt in a mean way #my truth

Jay is such a weird little purse dog who hasn't ever been outside bc what do you mean he sits down at a completely normal restaurant and looks around in complete disbelief muttering "oh wow" like he has never been in one before? what do you mean he doesn't realize Matt can get multiple different kinds of chips at a convenience store?? like Jay you are in your mid 30s wandering around your own city, the one you've lived in for years and years, looking lost and eating random food from strangers off the street! he has no self preservation instincts. he probably doesn't even know how to look both ways before crossing a busy intersection. he's going to get picked up by kidnappers without even realizing he's being kidnapped! just stay indoors Jay, it's probably for the best.

going through things only matt johnson and lana del rey would understand

ok seeing MY blog linked in the notes section of that ridiculously gorgeous amazing new wheatfromchaff fic on ao3 literally made my heart drop in the best way lmao beautiful world

I do have to say the fact that one of the earliest things we hear matt say about nirvanna the band is that they will "never play the same show twice" and then when jay does actually get famous it's literally only for one song lollll. we love a stupid one trick pony who gets led around from stage to stage dressed in his gay little outfits to sing the same song over and over again yay

i feel crazy whenever I try to explain it but like there is no clear explanation as to how Jay didn't immediately realize he wasn't eating candy in the Boost lol like whatever I know it's a reference to that one episode of the Fresh prince or whatever too but in my world Jay knew Matt was giving him something shady and he took it anyway because he's sooo normal about being able to make his own decisions about what's best for him. idk I always imagine that maybe he has a crunchy mom who didn't let him take meds when he was sick and opted for weird "all natural" methods instead (the banana thing) OR alternatively she would convince him and others that he was sick and needed meds even when he was completely fine (her insistence on his ear sensitivity makes me wonder about this). But either way it ends up making Jay really weird about taking medicine in a way that I think he genuinely suffers for when he won't allow himself to get any basic relief from his symptoms. Having Matt swoop in and sort of force him to do it alleviates whatever weird guilt complex he has about it while still allowing him to take something that helps him feel better. He's more comfortable with Matt thinking he's getting one over on him than he is with Matt seeing him indulge. oh Jay. something so wrong with you <3

giving him narcolepsy #jay mccarrol
