ya kno john green books can be really poetic and meaningful and stuff but if you frame them in the context of real life it’s like wow if i knew a teenager this pretentious in person i would not hesitate to smack em upside the head

so, storytime:

back when I was thirteen or so and Dawson’s Creek was a Big Deal, I secretly loved it but professed to hate it, because I was a contrary repressive little shit and angry rants about why popular stuff sucked were kinda my bag, thereby making me the posterchild for the lady doth protest too much. at the time, my dad wrote TV and film reviews for our local paper, which meant he sometimes got sent merchandise, and lo and behold, he ended up with a Dawson’s Creek cap and shirt, which I - virtuous, angry soul - decided to give to one of my friends. (actually, I think I tried to sell it to her first, but when she very reasonably pointed out that I’d gotten it for free, I relented.)

so I’m handing her the stuff at school, and someone else makes the mistake of asking why I don’t want it for myself, and of course I just LAUNCH into this lengthy, eloquent rant about why Dawson’s Creek is so terrible, which culminates with an exasperated, ‘And I mean honestly, they all talk like snarky adults! What kind of teenager even TALKS like that!?’

at which point, no less than THREE of my friends all turn to me, eyeroll and shout ‘YOU DO!’
