My Dealer: Got Some Straight Gas 🔥😛 This Strain Is Called “17776” 😳 You’ll Be Zonked Out

got reminded of them recently (welcome back pioneer 9 & JUICE)

i’m still trying to formulate Thoughts about 17776 but chiefly the one i keep coming back to is how it comes off, to me, especially at the last chapter, as sort of….forcefully positive? thinking of juice’s rapid-fire answers to all of nine’s questions. the way there’s no explanation, or things are only glossed over. humanity solved war? really? we developed technologies that fix any disease or injury, prevent them from happening at all, even, and they’re just everywhere? no one has to work, but money is still at least partially a thing? whole cities and states and countries are underwater, but it’s okay, they all lived and relocated and continue their cultural practices?

this sounds like criticism. it’s not intended as criticism. i find it endearing, honestly. i feel as though jon bois is telling me “shut up. shut the fuck up about realism and violence and selfishness for one second. humans are creatures of play. humans are good. this is a story where humans are fucking good, and there is fucking joy, for once, so stop asking questions.”

so, okay. i’m not questioning. i’ll live in 17776 with him. and i’ll even take an interest in football

have joshua...waiting for class thats what im doin...
