lmaooo my hatred for jj will come out at the slightest provocation. im glad someone appreciates it

it’s really wild to me how so many people just ignore everything about her?? yes, she’s a victim of bad writing. to an extent, they all are. it’s one thing to nitpick certain things about her character (the way i do with hotch), but the difference between her and the rest of the cast is that when you take away everything unlikable about jj, you’re left with… nothing?? which is why i genuinely dont understand how fanon jj is supposed to be any better. like babe what else is there?? cheetos???

Hello! Long time no post! I finally got around to posting about this story on here! I backed Psychonauts 2 on Fig when it was in development. So, I was stoked when it came out last August! And in my typical fashion, I naturally wrote a story about it. Recently I updated it with Chapter 24!

I hope everyone who decides to read it, enjoys it! Also! If you have not played Psychonauts 2 beware the spoilers inside! It starts right after the end of the game! 

So I’m thinking about taking a little time away to kind of reassess some things in my life right now. I am not leaving forever. I’m just thinking a couple of days.

I’ll still read and respond to your messages and I’ll still see your asks but I probably will not be posting. I’ll have so much to catch up on when I return but it will be worth it because I love you all.

We all need to take care of ourselves and sometimes that means stepping away and looking at the bigger picture.

You guys continuously inspire me and help me to see the good in the world. For that, I am forever thankful and grateful for each and every one of you.

Please still send asks and messages if you are inclined to do so. They always mean so much.

Love you guys,
