i think it says something very interesting about kipperlilly's character that she chose to go to therapy with jawbone. and even continued for three whole years -- based on the riz stuff and the info from the files, it seems like she was there making some genuine effort or at least being truthful. which, if she was some pure evil scheming villian, would be deeply unstrategic -- revealing these sentiments to someone who lives with her rivals? penelope everpetal (our blueprint for a fh teen character who is mostly presented as "simply evil") certainly wasn't going to jawbone or that other guy, she wasn't even confiding in sam! if this is a long game effort to take over the world or something, going to counseling like this would just be an unnecessary risk (especially because jawbone literally lives with half of tbk) or a waste of time.
so imo this suggests that something must have changed, or some influencing factor must have come into play (maybe over the night yorb summer?) that led klck and the ratgrinders to be in this position -- like the level of relevance and the intra-group issues (ex: buddy homicide lmao) given to the ratgrinders make it soooo clear to me that they're not just pure evil fodder for the bad kids to beat in a fight. after all, in a season about the harms of a school system that pushes overworking and grades over students' wellbeing, aren't the ratgrinders, these kids who've fully bought into it at great personal expense, victims too?

your woodcarving is absolutely amazing!! you're making me want to try it lol
have you considered making a duck/ice cream sundae? in honor of matt and jane's first time meeting in trt?
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's honestly SUCH a cool craft to get into, and once you have the base supplies (technically all you need is a carving knife + knife strop/sharpener, and some wood), it's pretty easy to keep up. If you see a little class or something near you I'd take it! And if (low chance but what the hell) you're in driving distance of Ripley, West Virginia, consider the weekend and week long classes at Cedar Lakes! That's where I learned, and it's been worth the long drive every time I go. Bob is an AMAZING teacher.
Also, FUN FACT! Do you wanna know why I used a wooden duck/ice cream sundae in TRT chapter one? It's cause this guy I made was on my shelf nearby!
Or, as Matt senses him:
So I am happy to say that the TRT Duck does exist! 😂 He was the first thing I ever carved. Maybe I should make another and do a TRT raffle or something.
