This mindset that Noelle needs to be cute with nothing dark or depressing about her is kind of shallow. The cutest person you know could be depressed and suicidal. Trying to file Noelle under “you’re cute” and that’s it, is weird. She’s clearly depressed, and chapter 5 has shown us she’s suicidal. She has a lot more to her than just cute and that makes her so interesting and relatable.

Sorry to ruin all the fun of "YAY AI STARTUP DEAD" but is anyone else a bit worried about all the teenagers addicted to this website that are suddenly going cold turkey?
maybe one of my favourite traits of this chapter
the way it silently sows the seeds for a catastrophic interpersonal feud on the way, an emphasis on conflicts birthed from one's love/dream clashing against another's, reality foreboding over the final blissful sunset
I love it
Jessica changing her pfp and name to an unreadable font every 5 hours before posting so that people don't realise it's her and fall for her bait and it works everytime
