    I love black licorice 🖤

    I’m not entirely sure what Fae is (I’m guessing a fairy?) but I’m from a magical land called New Jersey so I’m pretty sure I’m human

      Fae are like, earth spirits. Not exactly malevolent, but tricksterish, deceptive and vengeful. Not to be trusted. Never eat their food or play their games. Don’t fuck with their animals or their homes or they’ll gaslight you to death

      Fae depending on which lore you refer to (usually) means like an umbrella term that includes fairies and any other being that is magical and aligned with nature (but not a beast; dragons aren’t Fae for example)

      Jersey is best state. Can’t stand black licorice, but my mom and much of our family love it, so I’ll accept it. But Jersey is best state, it bears repeating.

        Yes! Every time I see someone making NJ the butt of a joke, I feel the need to reply with a love letter to New Jersey, because it’s legit awesome and I love it 🤍

          I had a history teacher in highschool who refused to acknowledge the existance of new jersey. He was from New York though so maybe that had something to do with it

            I just woke up and haven’t had any caffeine yet so you’re getting more or less a copy/paste of a comment I’ve written previously. Enjoy!

            They don’t call us the Garden State for nothing. Northwest New Jersey is beautiful, very rural with loads of outdoors activities along the Delaware. Central Jersey has Princeton, which along with the gorgeous campus has a super beautiful downtown. There are farmstands with fresh Jersey tomatoes, corn, and peaches all over the place, and we have a bunch of nice wineries! We also have the Pine Barrens (home of the Jersey Devil!) which are beautiful. And despite that stupid MTV show*, the shore is not just loads of drunken assholes. It has tons of boardwalk stuff to do, and the beaches with tags are usually pretty nice. Plus we have Atlantic City!

            *(Side note: the cast of Jersey Shore are fucking bennies from New York, they’re not even from NJ.)

            When people shit on New Jersey, they’re thinking of Camden (Philly’s fault) or Newark (NYC’s fault). There are definitely ugly industrial areas of NJ, but that’s not the entirety of the state. Neither is the parkway.

            Come visit. Have a pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Bike down the boardwalk. Spend a day at Great Adventure. Check out Lambertville (and New Hope!). Go tubing down the Delaware. And then when you hear someone bash NJ in the future, you’ll be able to defend us ;)

              NJ is fun to tease.

              • its shape seems perfect for the highway
              • its an ugly part of nyc
              • an ugly part of Philadelphia
              • and Atlantic City went way downhill (admittedly haven’t been there since Trump was bankrupting casinos)

              But actually yes. One of my buddies from college was from a very nice part of NJ, exactly like you describe. Well worth visiting and really shows off what a great place NJ can be

              It’s the armpit of America. You can tell you crossed the state line because of the smell. The rest of the state gets… better, but that’s a low bar.

              (I grew up in New York and honestly I’d even take Jersey over where I live now.)
