People Always Say "skins Was So Unrealistic! No Teenager Actually Lives Like Effy And Her Gang!"

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.

Sometimes falling in love with a character is about seeing yourself in a character, or what you could be, and drawing strength and inspiration from them.

And sometimes it’s like finding an angry opossum in a dumpster, eating your trash, and deciding it’s your baby.

and when Mitski said “venus, planet of love, was destroyed by global warming; did its people want too much too? did its people want too much?”

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.

Just so we’re all clear on where I stand: Black lives matter, trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary people are beautiful, asexual/aromantic folks have a place in the LGBTQ community, Queer is not a dirty word, and being “anti fascist” is a moral position, not a political one.
