In a very Twitterish manner, people quickly decided upon the colour of the dress, before declaring that anyone who disagreed with them was a hateful idiot. But when the dress made the leap to Twitter, things exploded. The daughter then shared it on Facebook, as part of a quick straw poll to see who was right. However, mother and daughter disagreed on what colour it was: one said it was blue and black, the other said it was white and gold. The history of the tweet is this: in 2015, a woman named Cecilia Bleasdale went to the Cheshire Oaks discount shopping village and took a photo of a dress she liked and sent it to her daughter. Looking back, the dress seems to be one of those moments where humanity as a whole simultaneously lost its mind. What do you see? … the dress (left) alongside an ivory and black version. The horniness on the man’s face is who we really are. The outrage on the woman’s face is what we should be feeling. We should be putting our focus into politics, but instead we’re mucking about online. We obsess over celebrities while forgetting about climate change. The internet has awarded the image its definitive meaning, which is unwarranted distraction. #I have no mouth and i must scream am twitter seriesThe image itself came from a 2015 stock series photographed by Antonio Guillem in Catalonia (combined, they form a story about infidelity told “in a fun and playful way”), but that isn’t important. The man, temporarily forgetting himself, turns around and checks out this sexy new stranger, while his companion stares at him in disbelieving anger. In 2017, we were treated to the most perfect summary of online discourse.

The ways to fight AM are probably the main attraction of this Jump though. The result, alongside trying to come up with some perks. I pretty much tried to make this a creepy pasta before the real Jumpdoc itself begins. I took some inspiration from Light of terra (what with the deadlight interrupting your chain) and the Doki Doki Literature Club Jump (with Monika trying to sneak her way onto your chain). Pretty much finished this in one night, even if i had the idea for a while. I got to work, because why not try a challenge? I had an idea at least and wanted to see if i could do something with it. So what if AM were to somehow get awareness of Jumpchain? How would a Jumpdoc look like if it was made by something that literally can not comprehend anything that is not harmful? So. The chains we do are at the end of the day creative thought exercises the complete antithesis of it. The whole thing about AM is that he is doomed to be anything other than destruction incarnate. Some settings simply cant be turned into Jumpdocs. You cant get people to do this Jump and there is nothing of value you could offer. It felt like the Jump was doomed to begin with. What Jumper would read this story and go 'yeah i wanna spend 10 years here'? Not to mention there was really nothing to work with Perk or Item wise. One day i thought what this might be as a Jumpdoc and thought it would be damn impossible to even create. This story is an exercise in depression with the downer ending of all downer endings. It MUST be a setting i like at least and I need to have an idea of what Id wanna see as well as there not already being one that has at least some of what I want in a Jump. Usually I have a set of rules I follow when making a jumpdoc. I broke one of my main Jump creation rules with this one. Before you read this Jump i feel the urge to clarify some things.
