dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I was really cringe in high school. I watched House a bunch while actually getting addicted to painkillers. I had this guy best friend who I sort of crushed on before I even knew that I wasn't straight or cis, and he was basically my Wilson lol. He was this upbeat, positive bundle of social energy who had this tendency to cheat on every girl he dated, and I was this depressive asshole smartass hopeless romantic with an addiction to opioids.

I kept recommending House MD to literally everyone who knew us, hoping at least one person would see how uncanny this was just to make sure I wasn't going insane. It's a long ass show, so understandably I didn't get any bites lol

I'm sorry that was really cringe, I've never told another human being this before.

Hope you arrived at your happy ending. I've rewatched House and about to watch it again another time

Not exactly haha, but I'll get there eventually I'm sure! I'm happy I've managed to sober up at least, though!

I've gotta rewatch it too, haven't done so in many years, but that's only because I watched it so many times already. It warms my heart that Hilson as a ship got probably as close to being the canon ending as network television would allow at the time

Good job on sobriety, comrade. Keep it up!

If you're going through sobriety, I just rewatched Loudermilk, which is a humorous show about the struggles through sobriety. Highly recommend it
