How's your portrayal? I'D SAY YOU GET A GOLD STAR FOR DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB AT PLAYING THIS GOLDEN BOI. In seriousness I think you really do a very true portrayal of Josh. You really understand the complexities of his character, and know how he'd respond to different things based on what he's been through. You're doing a wonderful job.
I ended up wandering off from this blog before I could answer this, but thank you.
I’m surprised at how much Josh ended up meaning to me as a character. When I first got into Academy X I thought for sure Julian or Quentin would be my character, since I tend to gravitate more towards the grandiose assholes who just want to prove themselves worthy. Josh is kind of that, but he’s mostly just a loudmouth who wants to be included so he doesn’t get picked on for being different. Even if that meant doing things he actually found reprehensible - like bullying and harassing people.
And then canon happened. And now he’s a mess. And I hope I do him justice because he’s a glorious mess.
