Oh yeah, I don't even think this is a theory, it's just straight fact.

I've gone on tangents about how her performance of femininity is so deliberate and heightened it's almost the other side of drag. I, obviously, have an INTENSE amount of respect and appreciation for that kind of gender play, so it makes absolute sense why she's really captivated me in ways none of my prior pop favorites have. The way I see it there's three things she's doing:

1. Attention to detail.

Her team has really been meticulous about crafting her image in ways that are distinctive and specifically flattering to her. Instead of following the trends she's chosen to embrace silhouettes and vintage styles that emphasize and play to her strengths, all the while maintaining a specific image. She doesn't care about submitting to the expectations of others around her regarding her style, and in that way she is a trend-setter (CLASSIC CLASSIC high femme behavior).

2. Playing for the girls.

Her music/performance UNDOUBTEDLY centers women as its core audience. I'd almost characterize her songs as a female power fantasy, even though like 90% of her songs are about boys and love and relationships, they're more about her relationship with the concept of love/sex/dating than any partner (even when they are SPECIFICALLY about a specific guy cough Please Please Please).

It's really interesting to see and I don't know if I can do it justice when I try to describe it, but you can see it immediately if you watch her Short and Sweet tour - she's literally running around in lingerie for half of it and even getting into some really explicit sexual positions but it's oriented from the female gaze in a way that while raunchy it doesn't feel like...degrading? It's playful, it's sexually empowering - it's almost burlesque-like except without the stripping.

3. She's so incredibly fucking cute and I am so incredibly fucking gay.

I think the things that really stands out to me is it's such an intentional and deliberate love letter to femininity. Like her style and her music isn't really doing anything new outside of her specific cheeky type of humor, she's deliberately making references to famous actresses and songstress' in the past (for example, multiple references to  Goldie Hawn, the obvious Dolly inspiration in Short and Sweet, etc.). She's really, truly celebrating what it means to be a woman past, present, and future. Even in her sad and more vulnerable songs, she's coming at it almost from a place of solidarity of expressing specific facets of the female universal experience (Lie to Girls, Coincidence).

And as a butch woman, there is literally nothing in the world I love more than women and femininity.

hm. this isn't the easiest question to answer. there's a LOT of different reasons as to why people disliked that run.

Systems can be just two people like your guys so no worries about not having “enough” alters/headmates/members/etc to be one. If you ever have any questions or want specific resources our DMs are open :-)

hey thank you so much!!! and of course!!

JatP Fever Dream Recap

Whoo baby. How far back do you want me to go with this?

The Hat Man legends were born. See this post for further information.

Cheesecake discourse struck on a midnight hour splitting the fandom down the middle. It was war. Things got ugly. No one escaped unscathed.

Cheesecake discourse soon morphed into zipper discourse, or as it's more commonly known, Ziscourse. There was a Zedding and it was beautiful.

The OC Conrad Reggie was born out of spite and love by @soemthingsparkly. He's an asshole and he's based off of concept Reggie and Conrad is Reggie's cousin. (None of this is canon). Also he has a troll ask blog @conradconreg.

This happened:

In a brief pause of relevation @reggiesjams managed to create this blank meme filter:

Examples on how it can be used:

I turned this screenshot from Unsaid Emily into a meme filter (og from tyler kare's ig page):

Here's a few ways you can use it:

Out of Ziscourse the Age of Zowen gripped the fandom and we all played an irl game of Among Us to figure out who maddie and Owen are. (Mads has confirmed she's on Tumblr but hasnt released her url, Owen has neither confirmed nor denied this statement.)

At this point everyone's given up and as a collective JatP Tumbkr has decided we are all Owen.

Step dad Caleb and Ernesto happened, ask @alexthedrummerboy and @hacker-willie-manifesto for more info on that. Honestly I slept through most of it.

Basically the 18+ discord is made up of a bunch of mildly popular jatp blogs who share one collective braincell and use it to start random discourse because we're losing our minds waiting for the s2 announcement.

@thesevenumbrellas @reggiesjams @soemthingsparkly @reggiehasadhd @willexx and anyone else who sees this, did I miss anything? I feel like a lot more stuff that happened than just this.

It's so chaotic.

I feel like this has all been a fever dream.

I didn’t see this until just now - never got a notification! So sorry!!

If you’re still looking for some things to do, here’s a list:

Light a candle or five (if you’re like me and love candles) - I recommend musky scents or nature scents. I have one called Winter Forest He really likes.

Leave out an offering/something to say you’re welcoming Him into your life. Personally, I’ve found He likes chocolate (dark, mostly, from my experience), coins, but really I suggest anything that you feel connects to Him for you.

If you have the ability (and aren’t in the broom closet), make a little space on your altar to show He’s welcome.

Mostly, I just suggest telling Him that He’s welcome in and start including Him in your routines, if you have any.

“Hey honey! So I just re read mint ice cream and kisses, because I’m waiting oh so patiently for chapter 12,”

Hey! I’m hoping to work next week on the new chapter and a few others since it’s thanksgiving break and I’ll have a week to focus on that. So the patience is appreciated greatly :)

But thank you! Writing natural conversations is difficult at first but there’s tricks to help get into the flow of that. Slang is a big one. Most people don’t say “going to” in general conversation. It’s usually “gonna” unless there’s a reason to really make the diction clear
