The Prophecy Jack Was Forcefully Given At The Beginning Of Vol 1 Is At Least Close To Coming True

The five four finger discount on other people’s phones.

no one talks about how good jack townsend is at pick pocketing. there’s like five points where he’s in a rough situation and he just goes “so i stole his wallet/phone while he was beating the shit out of me lol” and NO ONES NOTICED HIM YET

//so there's a new theatrical remaster of the tftgs volume 1 audiobook and chai's been sending me clips from it so we can go AAAAAAA at the voice-acting. and like to be fair yes i'm holding the new voice-actors to a bit of an unfair standard because i have such a specific image in my brain of the characters and their voices, but tbf i also feel the same way about some of the original audiobook voices. so y'know what it works

anyway no one asked but here's my thoughts on the voices i've heard so far:

jack - i'm sorry that's just not jack. that's not my boy. who the fuck is this. (<- too attached to the MCP narration)

jerry - i don't hate it but jerry's voice being higher pitched and not deep and kinda goofy is throwing me the fuck off!!!

tony - i don't know who this man is but that's not tony. i can't explain why without sounding insane but this man's voice is too round and sure of himself.

spencer - this spencer sounds too much like a normal respectable human being. i do not believe for a second that the man saying these lines would compare himself to the joker unironically as an intimidation tactic/to prove how cool he is.

Tales from the Gas Station Volume 3: Travis

As part of his self-imposed redemption arc, Travis has appointed himself shipper-on-deck for Jack and anyone he thinks Jack might be interested in dating. Rosa. Jerry. O'Brien. Doc Howard. The Bathroom Cowboy. Travis has headshots of Jack and a dating profile that is only almost completely lies,and he will talk up his boy to anyone and everyone who'll listen.

Everyone's like, uh, Travis, this sounds like maybe YOU want to date Jack? And Travis is like, not really, but I will stretch to dinner, a movie and some light petting if it means he forgives me

Jack is desperately trying to collect every copy of that stupid dating profile and destroy them and get through to Travis that this is making him MORE angry, not less

Travis, as usual, does not get it

Tftgs Spoilers:

I just started listening to book one again and I had a realization that when Jack is at one of his appointments with Dr. V and the Dr. starts talking about that if Jack offed himself no one would blame him just make sure you keep your brain in tact cause that's all they need after he's gone. It hit me that in book 4 Rodger makes the comment that they only need Jack's brain and just holy crap Roger has had so much influence over Jacks life and just every time I read or listen to the books again just more and more dots connect.

I ended up loving Travis way more than I ever expected by the end of book 4. Wouldn’t have minded in the least if he ended up in the main group.

I started relistening to vol 4 and Travis is a queer man in a big truck and no one can tell me otherwise and I'm definitely going to project the guy I'm seeing on him big time

“I will do no such thing, and you can’t make me!” Will never fail to absolutely destroy me every time it is one of the most Jack moments ever. MCP’s narration especially delivers it so perfectly.

rosa: your… pubes?

jerry: i already said we were naked, get with the times rosa!

jack: your beard is fine, jerry. if anything it probably elevates your overall look. there.

rosa: yeah, i feel like it’s very Jerry, you know? cant have jerry without his beard.

jerry: alright! thanks y’all, now back to the problem at hand. how do we banish a space god from this school bathroom?
