video; un: SPEED (i'm two quarters and a heart down)

[expeditiousness]

['sup quarantine, today y'all get +1 very bored teen speedster sighing and rolling his eyes in a highly dramatic fashion, phone balanced on his knee to film as he's lounging on the couch in his apartment.]

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who feels like puking over this holiday thing. It's like Valentine's Day on steroids! Ugh! [he shudders to highlight his disgust.] I mean, why do we need a whole big thing for romaaaantic loooove anyway? And soulmates? Psh! I mean, if that's your thing, go for it, but those of us who're a little more sane oughta stick together, right? Maybe have our own anti-holiday or something. Who's with me?

It's an ancient festival that took place during Valentine's Day. They used to kill dogs and goats and beat women with the hides.

Women used to line up to get hit. So, essentially, holidays celebrating romance were built from this.

It's not the worst, I'm sure of that, but it is bad. It's just a good argument for how pointless a romance-centric holiday is.

Romantic holidays are sure an adventure. As are most, really.

[expeditiousness]

[apt666]

You clearly haven't been on many 'adventures'.

u clearly don’t know who ur talking to, i’ve been on lots of adventures

[apt666]

So people getting potentially hurt and killed is fun?

text;

[expeditiousness]

wtf no!! why would you say that

text;

[apt666]

Because that often happens on a real adventure.

text;

[expeditiousness]

i’ve been on plenty of real adventures where no one got hurt or killed so maybe you’re just doing it wrong

text;

[apt666]

Or maybe everything you've done has been easy.

[expeditiousness]
