I miss P&A so badly.

[(Anonymous)]

I miss the P&A before it turned into a drama clusterfuck.

Seriously, what the fuck happened?

[(Anonymous)]

well the series has ended know if you feel like checking it out...

[(Anonymous)]

I heard how it ended (and about the sequel/spin-off thing??) and realized I had jumped ship just in time to avoid the worst of the what-why-how-tempest

but thanks anyway

[illiadandoddity]

Yeah, stop any and all rereads at the end of the Popsicle Wars. It goes quickly downhill from there.

[(Anonymous)]

So do I. Without qualification. QUILTBAG was just not the same, and in any case now that's gone too.

[(Anonymous)]

I really hope you don't go down that path, anon. Karen had to control other people because even though the lost the weight, she never really gained confidence. If you feel like you're treating other people badly, make an effort to stop, and try to find other ways to feel good about yourself.

[visp]

Well, then don't. Make an effort to be nice to people and to not be manipulative, and when you notice yourself doing it, stop. Also, if you're mean to someone and later fridge-logic that you were being a jerk, apologize to them.

It's not foolproof, but it helps. Congrats on your weightloss, as well.

[(Anonymous)]

Karen winded up like that because she had no confidence, because the persons who convinced her to change were terrible role models, and various other reasons I can't think off of the top of my head.

The loss of weight was incidental to her personality changes.

Seriously, just stop and think "would these words/actions/etc. hurt someone" every time you're in doubt.

[kamino_neko]

If you're afraid of being like Karen, you haven't actually completely internalized the same bad messages as her.

So, either you aren't actually becoming like her, and need to stop being so hard on yourself, or, you've at least partially accepted that 'pretty people can do what they want', but realize that's bullshit (morally, anyway...), and have motivation to stop yourself - and, if you've got the mental wherewithal to actually drop the weight and make yourself be more outgoing, you should have the strength to avoid that trap, too.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you so much.

Re: OP

[kamino_neko]

Glad it helped. ^_^

[rmg]

well, if it helps, penny and aggie was written by a space robot with no understanding of human nature, so as an actual human being the chances of becoming a character from it are pretty much nil

[(Anonymous)]

Yep, that's as funny as the kajillion times you said that on the comic's forum. Which is to say, not nearly as funny as you think it is.

[rmg]

i've never posted on the penny and aggie forums in my life since i tend not to hang around fandom spaces for things i hate and shit them up

i just complain about them in fandom secrets comments instead

[(Anonymous)]

Well, both your posting style and your specific comment ("Written by a space robot") match exactly what a certain troll on the forum would always say.

Isn't that right, nymosy?

Fucking coward. At least own up.

[rmg]

the idea that t. campbell is some sort of robot or space alien is not exactly a new idea in webcomics trash talking

also posting without capital letters and punctuation isn't really a new idea on the internet

it is kind of funny that you're accusing me of being some other random stranger and denying it out of cowardice when i'm... not even posting anon? like i'm obviously a real person. feel free to cyberstalk me or whatever to prove it, i guess, i have a profile and probably linked to my shit in my non-locked journal entries.
