Cuppa JOE: Jealousy & Obsession Exchange 2025 Rules Post

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 16:08:02 GMT

Posted by: modball

What is Jealousy? What is Obsession?

It’s that bitter sensation that fills you with spite, hate, and loathing. It’s that sweet motivation that pushes you to get out of bed in the morning to show your rival who’s what in the world.

Sometimes bitter…sometimes sweet…just like a perfect cuppa joe.

Whether you’re here for envy or possessiveness, cold shoulders or green eyes, insecurities that divide or covetous desire that brings people together—we welcome anyone and everyone to this exchange focused on how our most favorite characters deal with all these messy, complicated emotions!
