Gen Z Things

just a gen z kid, saying gen z things.

[genzthought]

#019

Having no expectations for your future because you don't even know if you'll have one. At least not the way this world is going.

[genzthought]

#018

Being more invested in other people's lives then your own.

[genzthought]

#017

Not feeling like it's Christmas, no matter how hard you try and get into the spirit. Like seriously. I could listen to Christmas music, decorate everything, watch every Christmas movie, do all of the Christmas activities. I could do all of that, and still not have the Christmas spirit.

[genzthought]

#016

Not giving an actual fuck whether or not you wake up the next day...unless that new thing is coming out. Because then you better not mess with us until a day or 2 later.

[genzthought]

#015

Being the most accepting generation because none of us are 100% straight, if at all.

[genzthought]

#014

Openly talking about what mental illnesses we have because the older generations were ignorant about them. Then not going into detail about JUST how much it effects our day to day because the millenials over shared and fucked up our support system.

[genzthought]

#013

when you sympathize with the villains of the movie/story instead of the heroes.

[genzthought]

#012

thinking high school was going to be like HSM, and thhat you could decorate your lockers like Victorius. then being dissapointed when it didn't happen.

[genzthought]

#011

knowing that there is a fanfiction somewhere for that 1 show you watch, but hardly anyone else does.

[genzthought]

#010

making fun of vsco girls.

[genzthought]

#009

getting offended on a personal level when people say that Pluto isn't a planet.

[genzthought]

#008

does anyone have any fun games they play w their friends?

the only ones we play are the basics. Tag, Night at the Museum, Mr. President and Spoons.

to be honest, american GEN Z kids have more of a chance ending up in an insane asylum then getting a job. we are stressed 24/7. from school to our parents. from social media to reality. worst of all, we are growing up in a time where school shottings are just a regular occurance. and then we make jokes about it so it doesn't hurt as much 😋

me: calmly and quietly listening to my music on shuffle.

me: kpop comes on.

dad: do you even understand what they're saying?

me: yes. i memorized the lyrics.

dad: but they could've been faked. they could be saying-

me: dad, just go back to listening to your country rap.

[genzthought]

#005

me: making a whole ass presentation to convince my dad to let me go somewhere.

friend w a 'cool' parent: why are you doing that? just whine and be annoying until they let you go.

me: ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME LOCKED IN THE HOUSE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS!?

#004

Gen Z kids joke about school shootings to hide the fact that we know it could happen any second 😋 Get used to it. It's how we cope.

how did jk manage to write ootp and not come to the conclusion that the only career w any true meaning for harry james potter was as a goddamn professor at hogwarts like how do u write the da scenes and say “nah he’d want to be a wizard cop”

[hugisak]

#just let him dress in warm sweaters and have tea with neville in the staff room and help first years #harry james potter as hogwarts longest serving defense against the dark arts teacher fucking fight me (@batcii)

[tattooedsiren]

#but it would be so perfect??? #bc it would help normalize his life so much #like there would just be this generation of kids who are like #‘ugh who cares that he killed the dark lord he gAVE US HOMEWORK OVER BREAK’ #like the beginning of every year there would be the new first years who would freak out a little #but then it would calm down #and most of the students would literally forget #until like clockwork the fifth years would have their history of magic class on the second war #and they’d all show up to DADA looking a little awestruck and everyone would be extra quiet #and harry would give this kind of annoyed sigh—except it’s fake bc he TOTALLY knew this was coming #bc binns is a bro and he totally gives him a heads up every year #and harry wouldn’t have any lesson plans for the day and instead he would just sit at the front of the room and answer everyone’s questions #but otherwise everyone would just be like ‘professor potter!! i can’t get my patronus to work! help me!’ #and like they’d go home at the end of the year or for break and their parents—who ARE still starstruck by harry james potter #would pester their kids with questions#and the kids would just be like ‘merlin i don’t know?? potter’s such a huge dork you should hear him talk about proper wand movements’ #but they would all love him #and he would feel safe and normal and utterly accepted #AND I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE (via @cinematicnomad)

Not to mention it would be an ultimate Fuck You to Voldemort, who put a curse on the teaching position in the first place.

Like, Jo, I don’t want to tell you how to do your job, but COME ON

[timemachineyeah]

I already queued this but also, you do this, but still have Ginny become a famous Quidditch player. Imagine the first time Harry gets called “Ginny’s husband” before “the boy who lived” or “the chosen one.” Imagine how fucking pleased he’d be.

Imagine the first time a student comes up to him looking starry-eyed and Harry’s thinking “Oh no” because he doesn’t want to talk about Voldemort or the war but instead this little eleven year old is like “ARE YOU REALLY MARRIED TO WEASLEY FROM THE HOLLYHEAD HARPIES???!?? WHAT’S SHE LIKE?” and he’s like “oh thank god” because he could talk about Ginny all day. 

[optimysticals]

Yes. Good.

[genzthought]

On top of all that, he would get questions from the 4th years about how it feels to know George and Ron from Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. And if he is really friends with Hermione Granger. Harry is humble, but only when it comes to himself. He could go on and on about his friends and family for days. Ugh. He would be so happy. And he could talk to Minerva whenever he wanted. We all know she was his mother figure. Why else would he cast CRUCIO of all things, and be able to mean it. Not only that, but he asked HER to sign his permission slip when we all know he could've slammed Dumbledore's door open and had him sign it. But no. He goes to Minnie.
