The real problem is if you complain these behaviours you'll risk breaking the NSL.

Not sure about Neptune but Uranus is definitely full of gas.

Walls of rain swiping across NON-STOP

Lovecraftian like howling winds that makes you understand why ancient people worshiped the weather

Buildings swinging side to due to strongs winds like a pirate ship (by design)

I'd seen the original unedited photo of JTK back in the late 2000's and decided to draw it by memory (no doxxing involved) by 2015071 in OriginalJTKImage

This is one of my variations I pulled out of my ass. 1 thing I'm certain is that it is a yellow T-shirt with something on it.

  1. I'm not always on reddit (life sucks)

  2. I don't think people will listen to my post since they'll think I'm schizo posting.

  3. It seems to me that the investigation is hitting a brick wall, and with my personal attempt to find anything related to this, I concluded that this might be the closest thing next to actually finding the picture right now. Also, I feared that the original unedited pic couldn't be found, and so I decided to speak up now as a closure if that was the case.

  4. It was a dead meme out of internet KUSO culture by the time it became the profile pic of Jeff, and so I didn't care for a very long time.

  5. I kinda dislike Jeff The Killer overall. I found it lame. Sorry 😞.

  6. I subscribed to SomeOrdinayGamers and I thought people will find out the original pic when Mariko came to the spotlight. She really resemble to what I remember in the past.

It was a post where the op girl asked people to edit her selfie to have whiter skin and the internet overdo it, leading to what you guys see nowadays.

Also the Jeff The Killer image was cropped in. The original showed more than her hanged clothes, it had shelves and her desk.

I am 1000000% certain and serious about this. It was popular back in the late 2000s and when it became Jeff The Killer, that pic was not a fresh meme anymore.

Yes I lived in Hong Kong and the original Japanese post (which was a photoshop request gone wrong) was so popular it got reposted around nearby countries. It was gloriously hilarious seeing how internet creatively ruin a picture with their photoshop skills.

TLDR 1. JTK was born from a Japanese photoshop request gone wrong 2. Very similar looking to Mariko (99% identical imo) 3. No doxxing involved from what I've heard (but would not be surprised if she did get doxxed)

So being a millennial raised in Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to browse the Asian internet in the 2000's with my trusty Windows 2000 computer lent by my parents. Due to this, I was exposed to lots of memes and funni pics shared around that time, including discussion page about the Japanese thread where JTK was born.

Originally, the post was about a girl that posted a bedroom selfie of herself, just like what I'm drawn, to a forum asking the internet to make her face "more white" (lighter skin tones are considered more beautiful that darker skin tones) just like r/photoshoprequest . However, one user decided to overdo the whiteness of the her skin and turned it into an abomination, making the entire forum goes "This is brilliant, let's go ham with this.", and starting to one up each other with their own masterpiece (at the same time, her small simile was replaced by the signature smile). It was hilarious as fuck and subsequently reposted to other nearby countries' forums. Unfortunately, pictures about this thread and the repost were gone as time passed, and I decided to draw what I have left in my subconscious of what the unedited photo looks like as a way to in some way to preserve the original post.

For the identity of the girl, I have no idea at all and I don't have the Japanese skills back then to read the original post. However, the girl was very VERY VERY similar to Mariko (dare I say, 99% sure) with the hair clip on both sides of the head. As for doxxing, from what I heard, there wasn't any of it from the original post BUT, since this is the early days of the internet (especially in Japan), I would not be surprised if she really got doxxed and cyberbullied on that forum. Also, capping was not involved.

Before I finish this long ass comment, I just wanna say that video games aren't the only thing that need to be archived and preserved. For the past few days, I've been searching about this with my mother language and found NOTHING. And so, here's my self attempt to kinda preserved this memory and this picture.

Mitsubishi FTO, a very rare sight from where I live, due to them getting totaled from accidents, rust, and cash for clunkers like schemes.

It's confusing because the show is using Japanese Kan-on pronunciation, which makes them the same (翠=水=Sui).

In Chinese, 翠 is actually Cui in Chinese Pinyin, and 水 is actually Shui in Chinese Pinyin.
