it may surprise her to hear that humour is a stress response, so if she's seeing a lot of jokes it might mean people are stressed. I think it's pretty strange to bitch about the manner in which your fans praise and positively engage with your work. It's almost like she wants the shallow fan relationship to become deeper, like some weird reverse parasocial situation.

idk I really feel her. Like is it really gallows humor anymore if it’s the executioner that laughing the hardest?

I used to have the full jpg but it got eaten in some photo bucket purge. A devastating loss.
