🎨 Artcow Iconoclast / Jonathan Mack Sweet - The Chris-Chan of Arkansas

[Le Bateleur]

The salad bar thing seemed like Sweet trying to clown around and do another one of his "famous" cafeteria comedy routines to me. But as he hasn't addresses it as such, maybe he really was out of it.

I'm not sure. His comedy idols are Howard Stern and Andrew Dice Clay - neither of whom are known for making themselves the butt of their jokes. I can't picture Sweet voluntarily doing anything self-deprecating. He's too insecure.

Actually, Howard Stern is often incredibly self-deprecating. He constantly ridicules himself.

Thanks for the correction. My main exposure to Stern is through YouTube clips, obviously not a complete picture.

Do you think Sweet would pick up on the self-deprecation, though, or only on the insult humour against others?

Only the insult humor against others.

He really wouldn't get Stern's shtick otherwise.

Anyhow, has anybody ever read Jon talking about other people he hung out with? Tin Boo-Tee seems to be the one person he has any happy memories of.

Nope. He is remarkably turned-inward, even for someone with autism. Chris is significantly more socially-driven than Jon: sure, yes, they're both so fixated on their chosen goal (a sweetheart-from-the-ground-up-surrogate-mom for Chris, a half-past-1997-college-life-with-phone-sex for Jon) that all their social interactions are inherently maladjusted, but at least Chris goes out, dumbass attraction sign in tow, and makes things happen in his life.

Jon just… doesn't do anything. He has had the exact same life plan for the past 15 years.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I think his desire for phone sex is one of his most intriguing desires. Not even self-initiated phone sex, he wants girls to call him. That's been his plan since half past 1997.

His belief that was a real, common experience and something that would still occur (if it ever did and if it did it was a troll) is both bizarre and laughable.

 

[Holdek]

In his dA journals, he can proclaim to his meager audience that he's right and the ultimate victor and that his life is truly on the right track and everything.

What's crazy is that we're the only ones who read them, and he's certainly not convincing us.

But, autism and the compulsion to get the last word...

Yup. Even Jonny isn't so delusional as to think he could approach women back then and expect them to date him. He wants the magically horny women to call him, probably so that he can avoid the risk of embarrassment from rejection. That's to say nothing of reminding him that women typically don't have anything to do with him, outside of his mother.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Another similarity between CWC and Sweet: they both want girls to approach or call them first with the Attraction Sign or chinaphone.

Also, the chinaphone is a classic example of projection. One girl "randomly" calls Sweet, and he thinks all of college dating is like that. Not only that, but even IF college dating really did work like that in half-past 1997, then with the prevalence of mobile phones, smartphones, and social media, I doubt it'd work the same today.

Since I revealed more than a month ago that the forum is restricted access, nothing has changed in the activity of the members. They haven't posted at all except for the couple of times they did to tip me off. Sweet's post count hasn't gone up since early June/late May. For a lack of a better word, AJM STUDIOS is closed down.

He changes his avatar there sometimes still, I think.

 

[Le Bateleur]

So, eight hours to go for Sweet to hit his deadline. Will he do it, or will his internet be cut down by SweetMom?

How many Kiwi screencaps will the latest BelchBlog feature?

Will we ever see the conclusion of Derivative Detectives?

You can measure the tension in nanoNewton-metres!

Also:

Spoiler: Poor Markiplier

EDIT: New BelchBlog is up.

 

[wheat pasta]

Lol, he actually further clarified craps for me because I forgot for a split second that it was a game. Senpai noticed me~

 

[autism420]

I think he was trying to link to his salad bar story but the link doesn't work. Anyone got that handy? I've read it before but I need a refresher.

What is it with his obsession with college dining halls and their "sumptuous" buffets? College food ain't that great, and after a while, you just want something else. If he wants a buffet so bad, he can just go to a Golden Corral or a Chinese buffet. And I looked in Blytheville; it seems to have a couple.

Probably was so obsessed since it came under his bill and he basically saw it as free. It's why he went on about having a room in a cramped dorm to just him and a roomie (No bro or mommy to tell me what to do), and the TV (oh mah gawd I can watch all da cartoons). Basically he got access to stuff that was far nicer than his home in Bumfumpkinville.

I believe Sweet may have also addressed this:

...about 3 hours later in the latest Belchblog:

Sadly, as I've learned in life, things change. Technology moves on.

Sweet also addresses Dr. Merkwurdichliebe (or "Doc Murky" the "Grammar Nazi" in Sweetish) about the whole "craps" deal.

 

[Sanae Kochiya]

Surprising how Sweets latches on one grammatical error and uses it as his way of being the lord of all smug.

Congrats, Sweets. You took one over us.

Sweet Patootie:

1. "Crap game" would work as an informal usage if you had located your fictional anecdote anywhere but in the bathroom, where "hot crap" is produced, as we know you know. (There and your drawing table! rimshot.wav)

2. It's "Rihanna." If you're going to use her as a comparison to "some chick," please spell her right.

@Adamska -- He didn't have a roomie. The guy never showed up to college. "Ashleigh" originally called looking for the other guy, and sensing an idiot in Sweet, decided to begin her epic trolling scheme.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

decided to begin her epic trolling scheme.

And meanwhile (like I said before), Sweet got out of that experience that college dating begins with the girl randomly calling the guy, and the relationship itself is pretty much just phone sex - not really getting to know the person otherwise.

As was pointed out back on page 13, Sweet even posted that in some dating tips he posted on that 90s-style site he made:

Avoid talk of personal disclosure and that "emotions" crap. [...] They're your girlfriend, not you biographer. When the phone rings, the pants come off.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

Like the mythical chinaphone, Sweet sees the buffet as something free that is given to him. Going to a buffet would cost money and not intangible money he doesn't see like the buffet that was part of his college tuition. And since he doesn't control his tugboat, he'd have to ask his mom permission to use it for a sumptuous buffet at Golden Corral.

As we've learned from Sweet's posts, their household is not in the best shape and Jon doesn't contribute in any meaningful way to its upkeep. Using the tugboat on any luxurious expense like a buffet is probably out of the question.
