[Not really a big deal or a terrible surprise. I’m adding “Jackson Rathbone journal, July 2010-May 2014” to my RP graveyard. He got off track sometime last year and never really got back on.
I’m still around in another form. If you ever wanted to interact and we never had the chance, let me know and we can connect in a slightly different form. A form where I'm fresher and more energetic.
Thanks to everyone who played with him, and I’m sorry to anyone I left hanging. I don’t know if there are any other potential Jacksons out there, but I’ll say I’m choosing my replacement. Just drop me a comment or PM and let me know if you want to be the new incarnation. I promised when someone gave me this role four years ago that I’d give it back when I was done with it, so if the old Jackson is kicking around, let's get in touch.
I’m actually really sad to be doing this. I don’t want to let him go, but I don’t want to play him either. It’s helping my heart a little to know that we’ve all been here. It would help if he was actually doing anything career-wise. When I started this, he was this bright, magical comet of energy. My favorite Jackson moment was seeing 100 Monkeys on what turned out to be their final tour, and bubbles rained down from the ceiling as they did a cappella harmony for “Invisible Monsters.” I remember thinking in that moment how wonderful life was. That's what a real artist does. He’s a super talented guy and I hope he has his shit together.
If he does anything noteworthy again, I’ll revive him.
For SL purposes, consider him holding hands with Jerad and running off into the sunset.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating with me.]
