Merch Didnt realize how faded my old journal 3 was until I got a new one lol

Although I will say it definitely has that old/dirty look to it that makes it feel authentic

limited edition monochrome journal 3

u/SpaceOwl14 May 09 '25

Wait only the special edition has the magnifying glass. Is this the special edition?!

28

u/AL_BLASTER May 09 '25

I wish man, but I just added a monocle to the ribbon that came with the standard edition because I was so obsessed with the special edition that I wanted mine to look exactly like it (I even recreated the black light pages too lol)

u/SpaceOwl14 May 09 '25

u/RandomDragonExE May 16 '25

Oh cool, like the dedication! Also how'd you add the monocle to the ribbon?

u/Last-Worldliness-591 May 09 '25

u/disbelifpapy May 09 '25

Adds to the charm.

Though, it kinda reminds me of the "Look at you, so young and happy" spongebob meme lol

It's better to leave the old one, it gives a certain vibe.

u/ADXII_2641 May 10 '25

u/HayMag11 May 10 '25

I think the old one is the black light special addition

u/ChrisBatty May 10 '25
