The Jonicles - Entry 1

Note: This is the first entry of The Jonicles, hence why the date does not match when this is being posted. This was written back in May of this year before I started this blog, and there will be errors or developments in how this series was being written. Please enjoy (or don't enjoy) the first entry of The Jonicles!

It's currently May 22nd, 2022, on a Sunday at 10:45 pm. It has been three days since the beginning of my Jon Arbuckle fixation, so today is day #4.

Hello, it's me. I have started this series of notes to document an odd development in my fictional character simpery because I feel it is important, as well as unusual. Recently, I have begun to develop a strange fixation on a certain blue shirt wearing cartoonist from a particular comic strip series focusing on him and his lasanga eating ginger cat. It all started when on Thursday, May 19th, I, for no particular reason, was awake at four in the morning, and I made the sleep deprived descision to search up Jon Arbuckle (Specifically in search of the "Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food" image). It was relatively quick and sudden, and from what I can remember, when I found a particular image of the man (The one displayed above), I began to feel... something. An odd, yet familiar feeling, and a part of me somehow knew what was to come. And it haunted me for two whole days.

I denied it at first. "There is no way you are simping for Jon fucking Arbuckle" I thought. "Spamton is already cutting it, we can't get any weirder than that". However, I often said this right after I had just finished drawing Mr. Arbuckle in an almost perfectly emulated style to Jim Davis's own, and by then, I already knew I was gone. Somehow, this painfully relatable geeky cartoonist perplexed me in such a positively fascinating way that I began to become fixated on him. Naturally, I looked furhter into this man. I already knew of the Garfield Minus Garfield series of comic strip edits that erased the snarky feline from existence, but I never knew they would cut so deep, as now when viewing them, they felt different. Unknowingly, I had developed an emotional attachment to Jon and felt a huge empathy for him, and I had no idea what was to come next.

I feverishly begun searching up r/imsorryjon in search of more of this type of content. Within the cracks of horrific, fever-dream like illustrations of the monstrous Garfeldi creatures, I ended up finding what I would consider the cutest and heartstring tugging fucking fanart I had seen at the time, which only made my liking for Mr. Arbuckle even deeper, and in my conquest for more Arbuckle brainrot, I knew what I had to do next.

Without realising, I had already watched the HD upload of Jon Arbuckle absolutely killing it on the dance floor five times in a row from sheer excitement and fascination of the groovy fellow, and I hadn't even known. I mentioned this odd phenomenon to my friend Hyphen the next day, who asked "Are you hyperfixating on Jon" to which I simple answered "I... Don't know", though by now, the answer is quite clear.

And so, that is how his all began. I've drawn Jon about over thirty or more times (A number I think will soon skyrocket), including him in some... Erm, ""sussy"" shenanigans, to say the least... I have many pictures downloaded relating to the cartoonist, mostly originating from the aforementioned Garfield Minus Garfield edits. I went on a research gathering haul on the man, and ended up finding a page featuring an entire gallery of Jon himself, which excited and interested me greatly. I've heard and enjoyed his voice plenty a time (Specifically the time he was voiced by Thom Huge) and I've... even started becoming attracted to the man???? he's super cute though.... Ahem, anyway, and finally, I've already watched the upload of Jon dancing like an absolute GIGACHAD more than what is reasonable for a normal human today alone.

Am I losing my mind? Maybe. Is Jon taking over my head like Wilson and Spamton have? Probably! But is Jon one of the most handsome fictional men I've ever seen drawn on a comic page? You bet your ass he is. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any way. I welcome Jon Arbuckle into my chaotic, unorganised mess of chaos I call my brain with wide, open arms.

can i just point out how fucking weird he looks in the 3D movies and shows though. he looks really feral and it's so funny he's also canonically a gamer in the garfield show and i love that

This is the first entry of the Jonicles, and because of it being very early in the series, I feel I must explain some things and provide context to them.

So basically, I do this thing where sometimes I hyperfixated or develop a "crush" on a fictional character and get feelings for them. I've basically just accepted it as a normal thing that happens at this point (and it's completely healthy, don't worry). And at the time of writing, I was previously hyperfixated on the character of Spamton G. Spamton from the game Deltarune by Toby Fox, so that's why he is mentioned here. Spamton is a bizarre character to have a "crush" on (it wasn't serious dont worry), and because of how memey Jon is, i was like "wait no wait this can't possibly be unironic hold on wai". turns out i was terribly wrong and no, it is completely unironic and i do truly love this character. God help me.

Anyway, more of the entries will be posted soon! There's gonna be two links on The Jonicles page sometime after this one is posted, and I'm scheduling it for... Let's say tomorrow at 7:00 AM in whatever timezone the Australian one is!

Cheers,

Your Local Jonnoisseur
