Saw this on iwtvtwt and started losing my mind

The eyes of a boy who knows no one in that room loves him (himself included).

Like hell do I need a cutesy slideshow saying things like “what’s up slut, it looks like you read 82 fics tagged with orgasm delay/denial this year, guess we found the raised Catholic” or “your top 5 ships were KinnPorsche, VegasPete, Villaneve, Hannigram, and Loustat, clearly all is not good in YOUR neighborhood holy shit”
