This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

You can still have a pretty good life and still be depressed my worst episode I was passing all my classes and picking up a new hobby and had a good part time job but I was still depressed. I started taking meds and the next day the crippling sadness was gone.

I started taking meds and couldn't nut anymore either, so your mileage may vary

Well, sometimes you have to choose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyone else find Remi Malek to be creepy looking? He looks like those toys you squeeze and their eyes pop

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Perfect for the role of Elliot lol

Wow really? I find him extremely attractive! It's actually how my husband got me to play "Until Dawn" because I was pretty disinterested until I found out he was the main character.

I find his eyes to be very evocative. They make me think of someone spending all night partying and existing in the mysterious parts of society that us normie day dwellers don't get to see.

He's a great actor, but given his character in this show I always believed that was an intentional part of the casting choice.

And he has a twin brother so there are two of them Just walking about, looking like Wallace and grommet people

That's strike one buddy. Two more and I'll tie all your sleeves into knots.

That is not a mental image I needed in my head

Does the mental sound of Goku as a squeak-toy help?

it's just standard hollywood bs, you gotta put some sex in there to keep people watching. it was just your mandatory pilot episode hornyness, forced into the show by the studio.

It’s how Game of Throne built their show before it all collapsed.

What about it struck you as unrealistic? There's a lot more going on with the main character besides anxiety and depression. Often, people with a history of certain kinds of trauma are actually hypersexual as a result.

Also, without getting into spoilers, depression is the absolute least of the main character's issues.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's almost like the point is to show that depression is a thing that's not very well treated by having super cool things happen in life. That's the scary thing. Being successful, but still not being enough for yourself. Having friends having lovers, but still feeling like you're not worth the time of day. If everyone with depression only suffered from SLS, depression would be way less compelling and way less prevalent.

Wasn't the drug dealer he fucked his sister?

The drug dealer who gets stuffed in the trunk of a car.

Shayla is the cute brunette neighbor portrayed by actress Frankie Shaw who sells him morphine and later ends up in the trunk of a car.

Shayla

He tries to kiss his sister when he has repressed most of his memories

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

That's right. I never watched it with subtitles so I didn't know how to spell it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I honestly thought the friends I was watching with didn't like that show because I was the only one laughing.

Took me like 3 episodes to realize it wasn't satire.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it's pretty rough. I'm glad people like it though, just not for me.
