High school is hard. It's even worse when you have to balance a job at the same time - let alone help run your family's business between classes and homework. Diana works at her family's pickle company (What's the Dill?) every day after school and on the weekends, so there's no time for her to go to parties or football games. She's stuck juggling English essays and preserving jars of cucumbers, with only a little bit of sleep in between. And when you throw a boy into the mix, forget it. The last thing Diana has time for is to date her high school's lacrosse captain, but Alex has a different plan. He's determined to get Diana to live a little and experience life outside of the jar she's stuck in. Life's not all about work, but some of us need more convincing than others.

Lightbulb wakes up in Hotel OJ to find everything... perfect. Too perfect. Everyone's acting like the best possible versions of themselves - Knife is gentle and soft-spoken, Taco and Pickle are happily together with no tension, and Balloon has completely dropped his desperate people-pleasing act. Even MePhone seems more stable and kind. At first, Lightbulb thinks this is amazing! All the conflict and drama that used to stress her out are gone. But something feels fundamentally wrong. The conversations are too polite, the smiles too consistent, and everyone keeps insisting they've "always been this way." When Lightbulb tries to bring up past arguments or drama, everyone looks at her with genuine confusion. "Lightbulb, why would you think Knife ever threatened anyone?" "Taco would never manipulate people, that's such a mean thing to suggest!" They seem genuinely hurt that she'd imply they were ever anything but perfect. She has to choose: pretend to be the "normal" version of herself that they want, or risk everything to restore her friends' true selves. But the more she fights against the artificial normalcy, the more she questions if maybe being "fixed" wouldn't be so bad after all... Content warning: Contains descriptions of medical content such as needles, surgeries, and existential stress. Also implied Lightbrush and a tad bit of Mephoj. Inspired by Will Wood's "Love Me, Normally", along with other songs. All characters are courtesy of Adamation, song references are courtesy of Will Wood. All cover art is mine. Woaahhh love me normallyyy woahh yeahhh woah yeaahhhh
