This week’s Degrassi Lessons:
1. If your girfriend makes an art piece with your face and words describing your mental illness and shows it to her whole class without your permission, it’s totally cool! (Also, seriously, whoever is in charge of Degrassi props really couldn’t Photoshop a better art project??!)
2. Breaking into someone’s house because your girlfriend is there isn’t a sign of any emotional instability but rather just *~TEENAGE HORMONES~*!!!
“University College”, Craig? Really?? No wonder you got an early acceptance and scholarship, they probably just hand out diplomas out of the back of someone’s van.
AnonymousCalm down??!?!?!! This is a Tumblr, this is obviously SERIOUS BUSINESS.
OMG THIS FUCKING IDIOT. Now I really hate Owen in real life. THIS SHIT JUST GOT REAL. HE CAN’T VOTE HE’S CANADIAN
Can we talk about Owen?
The Degrassi writers forgot about Owen being a huge homophobic transphobic sexist piece of shit and tried to turn him into a sympathetic character. This is a good model for how you should act towards assholes in real life. Eventually they will just wear you down until you are BFFs!
Owen was introduced by gay-bashing Zane and being a bully to Riley, Drew, pretty much everyone on the football team, just in case they might be gay. He makes a lot of homophobic jokes and thinks he’s really funny, because, like, boys aren’t allowed wear pink, right? He is also jealous he will never be as hot as Zane.
He throws Adam at a door for being trans, calls him a girl, is also jealous that Adam is more of a man than he is.
He tries to pay Alli to hook up with him and gets mad when she tells him to fuck off.
Owen harasses Anya in CPR class - touching her and being a creep, but oh wait it’s because he *~*~likes her~*~*, because that’s totally reasonable! He KEEPS bothering her, physically and verbally trying to get with her after she keeps resisting and getting mad at him (sooo hot when the girl isn’t into it, it’s like totally rape-y!). Eventually he gets lucky by taking advantage of her at her lowest point when she’s crying at her birthday party - SO sweet! Then he makes a post on FaceRange hinting about having sex with her, getting her very upset and embarassed, which leads to her FINALLY accepting his proposal to date! Awww, see, it takes a while for girls to figure out what they want, on account of their ladybrains!!
Then he is a super awesome supportive boyfriend, just forget about all that other stuff. Anya did coke a couple times and danced at a club so they are totally even now.
Best/Worst Quotes:
“This shirt…it’s making me…totally gay!” (Get it??? Because of pink!!!)
“You want to turn us into all flamers?”
(To Riley): “Wanna pick that up for me? I’d do it, but then you might all get excited.” (Owen is irresistible, especially to closeted gay men.)
(To Anya): “You should really show more skin”.
Also, omg his neck, it’s WAY TOO BIG.
How does it take an entire weekend to get the tin foil off of the cafeteria? How does this count as “property damage”? Is this some kind of super tin foil that destroys everything it touches? Is this a Canadian thing?
YES OK I GET IT YOU GUYS. First of all, Craig and Joey don’t need to come back for Angela Jeremiah to attend Degrassi….. Really, have you seen the show??!!?! Most of the stuff that happens is completely out of nowhere. It would not be hard at all to explain away Craig and Joey, especially considering that they have both been of the show for years. Craig ODed on coke and Joey ran off with Caitlin somewhere - there, done. They don’t even need an explanation. Have you noticed the number of missing characters on Degrassi??? CHESTER. BLUE. TIM. SULLY. etc.
They are having the SAME actress play two completely different characters. It is weird! I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Yes, it’s been a long time since she was on the show but she is the same person. You look at that face and hear, “Always always!” and “Is that a million dollars??!?!!”
*OK but really, they had open auditions for Tori, and Alex Steele just happened to be the best, yeah yeah yeah.
