Anons, the service we used to receive asks has been down for about 4 days now. We were waiting for it to come back since there was a significant backlog (40+ submissions), but it doesn’t look like it’ll come back anytime soon, so here’s our new inbox:
#jltganons
: i hooked up with a guy and before we did anything we were watching stuff and jetlag and he was so infatuated with it he didn't want to fuck —
038: I hate it everytime Ben and Adam wins it makes me so mad,, I hope Adam goes to med school and becomes a doctor so I don’t have to see him anymore and Ben. Hope you become successful in writing,, —
#jltganons
: i’m worried the jet lag fandom has caused dave wiskus to have an actual mental breakdown. he embraced the meow meow ceo role with honestly quite worrying enthusiasm and i think we need to get him urgent help —
051: Fuck cloda hate. She slays and makes our fandom better being in it. Everytime I’ve interacted with her, she’s been incredibly nice. Cloda haters need to get a life :) —
Please avoid using slurs or any kind of charged language in your confessions. Criticism of the show will be posted and is always welcome in our inbox, but we want to make sure it isn’t inadvertently upsetting or triggering followers with crass language. Thank you!
#jltganons
: I think we should sexualize the jetlag cast more. I demand shirtless fanservice in every episode. A series where they act out fanfics. Offical jetlag yaoi. I will get Ben boy pregnant. —
#jltganons
: every time i see the acronym JLTG i think its just a fucked up way to shorten jet lag. bc JTLG. but NO its WORSE and it melts my brain. can we just swap it for LGBT and be done with it /j —
#jltganons
: i have an insane crush on toby, i’m down so bad like every time i watch a tibees video i have to pause every once in a while cause i’m getting actual butterflies,,,,, —
#jltganons
: I recommended jltg on a date (we were talking about transit) and he was like "oh, I know this guy from college who does something like that!" and "this guy" was, in fact, Adam Chase (…) —
#jltganons
: i went to the s7 premiere, i met my favorite creators. especially ben doyle. i may have taken a plastic water bottle that was ben’s and i still have it to this day. —
007: i kinda hate that they made the layover into a podcast, it was so much better when it was a video special at the end of the season with a q+a and unused clips —
#jltganons
: I know some people dislike her, but I really like cloda, she is a beacon in this fandom with silly memes and is funny >to me<. Remember, she’s till young, so be nice, guys. Also the biggest reason I like her is because she’s stans (…) —
#jltganons
: Sam has really made me question my sexuality, I’ve identified as a lesbian for years but he truly makes me think I might be bi and I don’t know what to do, I feel like I’m too old for another sexuality crisis —
#jltganons
: Can we talk about how a lot of the criticism towards some of the jet lag crew members are just ableism? The allyship for autistic/neurodivergent people only seems to extend to when they are talking about their interests, but the minute (…) —
#jltganons
: uhhh do we know what challenges that the boys were gonna do in new zealand that they didn’t end up doing (specifically in taranaki!!!!!!!!!! i wanna know what they were gonna do to my home) —
#jltganons
: im tired of people who keep tagging the boys in tweet after tweet trying to bait interaction, it just seems like these people are trying to annoy the boys on purpose honestly —
042: Personally I quite dislike what the Jet Lag fandom is, especially on twt. I feel most of that comes from that probably the most popular fan account is ran by a person that is in the show host’s own words “crazy because all minors are crazy” (…) —
#jltganons
: ppl talking about how parasocial jet lag fans are as though the creators themselves don't regularly interact with fans like no actually Adam chase is my friend he does know I exist 💅—
023: i have a theory that Sam was upset by the results of the jltgomp survey and is trying to change his character to be more ‘ben’ .... his demeanor in s7 was totally different and laid-back. but the show needs competitive / aggressive sam (…) —
#jltganons
: i had a dream where i hooked up with dave wiskus IN A PLANE BATHROOM and then i talked about it on the layover right after and he got slightly annoyed. i’m slightly haunted by it now. —
#jltganons
: Ever since i found out there exists a fandom i wanted to properly join but don't know how so I'll just keep watching from the sidelines for now I guess 🥲—
This shouldn’t be necessary, but there is a difference between saying queer, which is widely reclaimed including in academia (e.g. queer studies), and the slur we had in our inbox (tr***y). This isn’t 2017 Tumblr. You can have slur discourse there. This is a Jet Lag account.
022: being from wendover’s audience pre jltg, but also being a (comparatively) older terminally online queer is so weird. suddenly everyone is treating an edutuber as a fandom!! it’s like you blink and there’s 1000 fics on ao3 shipping two (…) —
#jltganons
: why do people sexualize the cast so much? as a casual jet lag viewer it’s uncomfortable and makes me very hesitant to attend a live show/premiere :/ —
#jltganons
: i swear some members of the jltg twitter fandom will take everything the boys say as correct to the point where they attempt to defend the indefensible and i think sometimes we need to just accept not everything they say is perfect —
#jltganons
: Jet lag Twitter has become a safe space for me and I think I'm actually developing a Twitter addiction because of it. I spent 18 hours on Twitter last week mostly looking at jet lag memes and tweeting random things about how much I love Adam —
#jltganons
: i have a very real very serious crush on adam chase and its just getting worse bc im now at the stage where the most random shit he does is cute to me like. near the end of e3 of the current season when he just tilts his head (…) —
We have a backlog of 30+ messages and don’t want to spam everyone’s timelines so posts will come in small batches a few times a day — if your submission hasn’t made it, sorry for the delay! It’s still there and hasn’t been lost!
#jltganons
: the lack of diversity in jet lag is a huge pitfall and fan faves like tom scott/ludwig/the greens shouldn’t be on the show at least until a poc is —
#jltganons
: im so sorry but imo adam is the only jet lagger with a dress sense. he always looks fine as hell, he ever totally owned that pink ‘bow’. i mean, i guess (…) someone get these boys a stylist —
#jltganons
: People interacting with their fans doesn’t mean they are your friend, at the end of the day the Jet Lag team have other things going on outside of Jet Lag. I love that the team is committed to interacting with the fan base but (…) —
#jltganons
: I gotta say I love sexual jokes about the jtlg crew. Like I don’t want to speak for them but uh… do that to real people?? Get Ben boy pregnant?? —
#jltganons
: jet lag himalayas. race across the karokaram highway without dying due to a) exposure b) insane rickshaw drivers c) food poisoning d) falling into a crevasse every minute of oxygen costs 25 coins and you can earn more by slowly (…) —
#jltganons
: I made my Brown alum sister watch the New Zealand season with me and then made her look up what memes Ben had posted to a Brown students Facebook group —
#jltganons
: While I think the lack of diversity is clearly apparent to anyone who has watched the series and is obviously a massive issue, I don’t think (…) we should stop the likes of tom Scott, for example, for participating until a POC is a guest. —
#jltganons
: my more spicy take is that Tag: EUR IT is mid and my favorite season was Circumnavigate the World and Race Across New Zealand. The New Zealand JL:TG caused my move to NZ. thanks jltg. —
#jltganons
: Adam’s fashion sense this Ben’s outfits that- I need Sam’s wardrobe please. I wish I had money so I could buy ethical and sustainable (and cute!!) clothes designed to last and look as good as he does wearing them I think about that (…) —
#jltganons
: Controversial take but I think Adam gives more boy pregnant energy than Ben. Like yes Ben is babygirl but who’d be the better mother? You know the truth you’re just afraid. —
#jltganons
: Hi I’m the anon that sent the post about cloda and I think I used poor choice of words saying “some people dislike her” I’ve seen people (very few and far between) not enjoying some of the memes and jltgomp not Cloda necesarily! I’m a (…) —
#jltganons
: i saw the jtlganon about adam being the only well dressed jet lagger.... ben's style is fabulous so stfu but i absolutely agree that sam needs to burn that hat immediately —
#jltganons
: hello my biggest fans this is sam wendover denby from the game. i have lost my credit card and i need money to destroy bens oil. please send me $1500 to book plane ticket to east dakota so i can defeat adman chance. 🧑🦲 —
#jltganons
: I think of Adam Chase as an older brother figure like me & my siblings never got along (either they’re manipulative or right wing lunatics) and I have a tendency to latch onto guys in their mids to late 20’s and think of them as my (…) —
#jltganons
: some of these confessions are making me lose faith in humanity as a whole what about 3 guys playing travel games makes you guys horny hello —
#jltganons
: everyones always talking about drunk ben but what about DISGUISED ADAM!!! ben might get drunk every season but adam is always disguised and so silly!! —
#jltganons
: i love jet lag so much please i love jet lag and i love everything about it omg i just think i takes up so much of my life but i love it and think about it sooooooooo much —
#jltganons
: honestly as someone who came from other real person fandoms, seeing what some of u guys say about the cast gives me major whiplash.. if u said these stuff in other fandoms youd be burnt at the stake —

#007
I think there's space for both to coexist. A post-season special could be something they release in the off-season with unused clips & specific questions but I love hearing about each episode in more detail —
