Headcanon time! I rewatched the video where Penelope was first introduced, Hunky Cody, and I realized that Joseph was initially into her too. SML isn't good at continuity, especially with the characters themselves so this was most likely not intentional. Thus, I'm claiming it as my headcanon :)
The only reason why Joseph insults Penelope so aggressively nowadays is because he's jealous that Junior is dating her. He had a crush on Penelope from day one and she showed zero interest in him. Heck, she was more interested in arguing with Junior than looking his way.
Even though his behavior is very wrong it's still interesting to think about reasons for it. I hope we get a more in depth episode about why Joseph is so mean to Penelope and/or how Penelope feels about being the only girl in their friend group.
I love Junior's naive moments lol. OITNB (the real thing) is one of my favorite shows so this was a treat! It was actually funny too 10/10 video but the ending was clearly rushed, typical of modern SML but whatever :)
I have finally reached the sml side of Tumblr yippee
Yay! I hope you enjoy your stay :)
(1/30/2025) Update: More parts will be less consistent because I'm studying again. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I can finish two parts of Jacques' Little Painters in February but no promises. But I will promise some Valentine's Day art!
Jacques' Little Painters Chapter 2 is up on AO3 🎉
A Junelope doodle because for some odd reason, I genuinely ship this! Not the canon ship of course, but in a headcanon where it is just an innocent kiddish relationship. Rather than the weirdly toxic, homicidal, insanity in the actual SML videos.
Something to pass the time
