Ok yea ik that's not an original argument or anything. But I have physics exam in a few days and it's making me so frustrated I need to find new ways of venting.

Dexer:

Oh yea the fan favorite. The blonde gay guy inlove with his straight best friend who eventually somehow turns out to not be so straight and they get together through the help of their friends. HOW ORIGINAL!! Definitely didn't see that one MULTIPLE TIMES.

Dexer is so boring to me man I'm not kidding. The only thing that could've made them interesting is exer having magic, but it literally doesn't matter for their relationship. David had no hard feelings for exer keeping such a huge secret, it was literally brushed off in the same day in canon.

David seeing exer's magic COULD'VE been interesting but it's only used for fan service and showing how strong their relationship is. The only thing that could make me care about their relationship is Diary trying to fuck them over but they literally solve every single problem withing less than second (the crash out I'll have if they take a few eps to solve diary's entry about exer not being able to be physically near David..💀). Every single plot that could make them remotely interesting- or at least more original is VOID.

Kenda:

I cannot get over Brenda being confused about her feelings towards ken. She had a crush before. She's been in a whole ass relationship before. She CONFESSED FIRST. WHY is she confused NOW??

If I had to take a wild guess I'd say that paola is trying to bury brenda x exer under the dirt and playing if off like they never actually liked each other and their first reals crushes are their current romantic interests. And that's simply ANNOYING.

Another problem I have with kenda because most of my problems with it are about brenda. Is that it's her character's current focus.

Look brenda is actually pretty interesting. And she has ALOT of angst potential that could play for interesting storylines.

Her boyfriend lied to her and never told her about his magic powers. Her best friend told her (and the whole school) that her boyfriend has magic powers and she was right but brenda didn't believe her. Her ex best friend was literally bullied and isolated and she watched from the sidelines. Her brother is inlove with her ex (whom she still had some feelings for at the time!!) And she has to play matchmaker because 'That's what a good sister would do'. Her dad literally abused her brother and beat him up. Her dad NEVER cared about her. Her best friend and new crush like each other and she has to play matchmaker because 'That's what a good friend would do'.

Do you see what I mean?? Brenda has SO MUCH potential and the fact none of it was turned into actual plot line but the romance one is is PAINFUL. And the it had to come in the worst time (her brother was just abused) just rubs salt in the wound. AND I LIKE KENDA.

Ronothy:

NOTHING is going on with them beyond the the trope of 'soft gaint x short gremlin' without even fully committing to it. They have very limited screentime and personalities. I guess the only thing they have in common is that the plot keeps forgetting they exist.

Ok yea that's it. I won't go into another rant on jackela because I do that(in dms) SO MANY times already. Maybe I'll send another ask venting about them- maybe I won't.

This is a hard question to answer anon if i'm being honest.

The short answer is yes and no. I used to be Really big into the comic but upon further inspection i personally think it was never all that good, but recently, the new season has just kind of... gotten much worse, and i'm not the only one who holds this opinion.

The wroting of Jackson's Diary has never been all that great tbh (if i may bring up the Skirt incident of s1, or just Ron in general) but it had a good concept and interesting enough characters going for it.

Season three has none of that. Anything that redeemed the first two seasons (or first season and a half if you ask me) has completely Vanished by the time you get to season 3. Exer and David have been reduced to being gay and making out, Jackson has??? His kinda dumb doppelganger and also Elijah because Yeah we need a new Male character to essentially just take Pam's role as Jackson's Closest relationship!! Spekaing of the girls genuinely NONE of them have any personality whatsoever. Pam has been reduced to Jacksons gf who worships the ground he walks on, Brenda is suddenly some frightened animal who's entire plot revolves around liking a guy (again) and jolie's just. Kind of there. The detention kids literally have Nothing to do but play therapist whenever Jackson needs it (although i will say this was also pretty consistent throughout s2) and they really don't have anything else going on.

I could genuinely talk about this godforsaken webcomic all day, but unfortunately it is still one of my favourite medias of all time, and itd certainly where my favourite character of all time originates from, so i'm here for the long run LMAO

Ok, 1. OML ITS BACK S3 LETS GOOOODOFIJCKF
