The Happy Smiler

yes fine I wanted to touch and fuck on it

Y’all can be screaming every time you see a gorilla

[doesn't understand jacking off] and I'm supposed to... touch my penis? [shaking my head and smiling, murmuring to myself] touching my own penis... [chuckles] what will they come up with next

so sorry i called you kidnappable earlier, let's take a drive and talk this through ok?

honestly i think we kind of lost the plot on "therapy speak" as a bit of media criticism

i swear it used to refer to a story using a very formal, almost workplace safety-type tone of dialogue that's unintentionally jarring in context and feels like the writer is trying to make extra sure the characters come off as healthy and nice even though the language doesn't make sense contextually, now it seems to frequently refer to characters having any conversation about their feelings at all or even stories that are about therapy/are deliberately evoking that sort of verbage throughout as a stylistic choice. very odd.
