Heh... I tried once, but I don't think he liked it.

1.) Unsolicited Advice For The Author:
Jeph get off of Tumblr
Jeph get off of Tumblr
Jeph get off of Tumblr
Jeph get off of Tumblr
Seriously Tumblr is about the fucking worst network of any people to be involved with or on or in if you have anything bad going on in your life or if you have emotional/brain-chemical issues because even if the vast majority of the internet supports you, every shitlord in existence is there too and they have brought their own personal entourage, so it feels like you're besieged from all sides.
It's not ONLY a voice for every fucking idiot with entitlement issues who thinks their personal existence/crusade is FUCKING FASCINATING and allows them to demand respect in the shrillest, shittiest little voice possible, BUT it has the exciting anonymous ask feature, for all the fun of 4chan-style commentary on how you should kill yourself!!!!!1 WOOOOOOOO
Seriously, Tumblr is a fucking cesspool, get out of there, man.
(Doubly hilarious: when Jeph is taken to task for his fans' wrong-headed behavior! Like, for example, when a fan of QC on Tumblr said that the poster of this insipid-ass commentary, Kearsay or whatever, should be slapped and called her a whore, that was wrong! But turning around and shrieking at Jeph that YOU HAVE A FAN PROBLEM YOUR FANS ARE FUCKSHITS AND SO ARE YOU YOU ARE A BAD PERSON LIKE THEM is evidence that soooooooomeone needs to be taken off the Internet! Hint: NOT JEPH!)
2.) Things That Strike Me About This Insipid-Ass Commentary
Aside from the obvious projection and overidentification going on, and then screaming at the artist when he doesn't validate your projection and overidentification (which is just classy as FUCK), does it strike anyone else as...well...just wrong? Because it looks to me like Marigold does have a muffin-top, like clearly she's pretty pear-shaped, despite remaining attractive to our eyes? That, coupled with her skin conditions and the fact that she's been bullied her entire young adult life, is a very reasonable recipe for body dysphoria.
I'm actually reminded of an insight from earlier posts here that I disdained at the time and that I feel really bad about--we're not actually able to see how the QC chara would look in reality, not perfectly, only a stylized depiction, and we're certainly not able to see how Marigold appears to herself.
Yes, everyone is going to critique art, but there is a difference between legitimate critique of style, or perhaps bringing up in a civilized manner that "for a supposed 'fat girl', Marigold is awfully voluptuous, which I as a reader find disappointing" and this sort of absolutely unmitigated bullshit.
3.) Everyone Be Cool Now Oh Goodness Please Remain Cool
I am very disappointed to find fans of QC (on tumblr, mind) saying the poster of this insipid-ass opinion is a "whore" who should be "slapped" and exercising male privilege all over the place. Come on guys, let's be better than that. Stick to supporting Jeph and, if you can't ignore this moron and their sycophants, stick to calling them a moron and sycophants, because it's exactly what they are.
Also, I think it's a really valid point and should not be ignored that LoliBot brought up earlier: Curvy women are not better than thin women, but they are both beautiful and should be treated with equal respect. Cheesy as it sounds, it really is what's inside that counts. u 3u
Although if you have like, bodily discharge or something, um, you may wanna see a doctor.
(See, if I was on tumblr, I would be taken to task for DISCHARGE SHAMING)
jwhouk:
Win thread.
Is it cold in here?:
Well done.
I regret looking at the Tumblr comments. Some of those people have what I think of, somewhat sloppily, as a "negative IQ": they make everyone around them stupider.
It's good that Marigirl is around decent and supportive people. It would be better if they weren't so clumsy. She might crawl back into her shell in response to some faux pas by Angus or Emily.
Is someone at the party going to order a pizza? Because the Principle of Maximum Awkwardness requires Dale to show up soon.
jwhouk:
Marigold was munching on a burger earlier, and it appears there were hot dogs grilling, so I don't think it's Pizza Time yet.
And I think we're getting a guest strip tomorrow, anyways.
