That Murderous And Spiteful Fictional Villain Would Treat Me Right

“He wanted all to lie in an ecstasy of peace; I wanted all to sparkle and dance in a glorious jubilee. I said his heaven would be only half alive; and he said mine would be drunk: I said I should fall asleep in his; and he said he could not breathe in mine.”

— Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

my toxic trait is that i still love jules so god damn much 😭

people always say "skins was so unrealistic! no teenager actually lives like effy and her gang!"

like idk what your college experience was like but I've been to college twice, once when I was 16, dropped out when I was 17, then again when I was 19. my college experience was exactly like them. when you come from a low income area and the education system is a bit shit, it's pretty much like how it's portrayed in skins. I smoked weed every day. I took MDMA. I drank vodka in the back of my english class. I had sex on college premises. I skipped classes and the teachers rarely followed it up because we were treated like adults. I partied all night. the shop up the road from college sold to underage students because the guy who owned it knew that his biggest source of income was students. we had a tight knit friend group that fell apart pretty easily. everyone in my group was mentally ill. the teachers didnt give a shit.

the reason I've always loved skins is because it's gritty and real. it's how a lot of us live. if you're a pretty wealthy middle class kid, you probably didn't live like them, but the kids in skins were pretty much my friend group.

i love skins because its realistic to how I lived.

friend: you look stressed me: haha yeah it’s the stress

So you’re telling me this is a 40 year old man? Most men I know that are in their 40s look so drastically different??! He’s immortal and he’s not fooling me.

Exhibit A: look at his eyes. Why are they always so black? Witchcraft I tell you.

“a seventeen year old girl is just never, ever, ever in her prime! ever! i am in my prime! would you test your strength out on me? there is no way, there is no way anyone would dare, dare test their strength out on me! because you all know there is nothing stronger than a broken woman who was rebuilt herself.”
