snarpGosh, Tumblr people, Gamzee's obviously not going to give the ring to anyone! Gamzee can't die, and he's in the fridge, so he will die if he takes it off, because you die in the fridge, so he won't take it off!
Does NOBODY remember that one episode of "Punky Brewster?" It was a Very Special Episode, and that means you're supposed to remember the lesson it teaches, which is not to hide in the old fridge that's being thrown away while playing hide-and-seek!
Admittedly, an unusually-specific and rarely-applied lesson, but Gamzee clearly needed it. If only his troubled childhood had had Punky Brewster in it.
But my point is that dang, it's almost like Tumblr's populated largely by people too young to know 90s pop-culture references.
- wait, is that even 90s pop culture? Wikipedia says that that's 80s pop culture. I was like three at most when that episode aired. Why did every single person with whom I went to college have traumatic memories of the Don't Die In A Fridge episode of "Punky Brewster?"
I guess it must have been something that got shown in grade schools - but why did school systems all across the United States jointly choose to take the time to educate their charges on that particular fucking problem? Shouldn't they have been lying to us about the effects of pot or something?
Fucking Homestuck updates, they always ask more questions than they answer.
