Isn’t TikTok wOnDeRfUl?!

No, I’m not turning into my sister, saying, “mEdIa bAd gRrRrRr”

Honestly, it’s a double-edged sword.

I like watching YouTube when I’m down, or watching for inspiration, or listening to relatable music.

I play video games to destress or challenge myself.

I draw. A lot. With inspiration from media.

And honestly, there is funny stuff on TikTok. If you dig deep.

The bad side?

INFLUENCING MIDDLE SCHOOLERS.

And other people to the point of death.

(That was hyperbole.)

For example (if you didn’t see it in the image…)

SKIBIDI TOILET.

Why.

There are so many cool, cute, amazing animations, and out of all of them, THIS ONE HAD TO EMBED ITS MIND INTO MIDDLE SCHOOLERS AND OTHERS.

I know people like weird things. And they can enjoy them.

But when you hear it 24/7, it starts to get a bit SICKENING.

At some point, my math teacher banned the use of the word, “skibidi” in the classroom. If you said it, it started as having to touch the outside closet.

Then it was to run downstairs, outside, touch the flagpole, and come back.

On the last day, it became a lunch detention. So…

Honestly, I could see. It was my group of tables that was always saying things like:

“oH mY gOd” (from some stupid meme)

“tHaT’s sO sKiBiDi tOiLeT” (from said mentioned meme, featured in image)

“______, yOu’Re tHe sIgMa aLpHa sKiBiDi rIzZlEr gYaTt dAmN” (mix of crap, I don’t know)

“yOu gEt iN mY wAy iMmA fEeD yOu tO tHe sIgMa” (I don’t even want to know)

I’m not listing anymore. You’ve heard enough.

(There’s also a coming Skibidi Toilet movie. The end is near.)

During the last few months of school, my English teacher got into using slang.

As if English class wasn’t bad enough.

While we were reading THE HOBBIT.

She called Elrond an, and I QUOTE,

“aN aLpHa sIgMa mAlE”

WHY-

STOP-

Some kid also got her to call him, “a sKiBiDi rIzZlEr”…

I’m happy my school year is over.

OR I WAS, BUT NOW MY MOTHER HAS DECIDED TO USE SLANG.

SPECIFICALLY, “oH mY gYaTt!!!!!!!!!!”

So my life is ending.

Very slowly.

I would like to animate my suffering.

*vocaloid begins blasting*

So yeah.

(Happy Pride Month by the way :D)
