11 Gifs That Describe Watching "Black Mirror"

This week, I binge-watched Netflix's show "Black Mirror" and let me tell you; I am all sorts of fucked-up. This show uses technology, both modern and futuristic, to play with your feelings and give you all types of existential crises. So here are 11 gifs that describes any newcomer's experience to this amazing show.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

1.

This was me when I realized that each episode was its own plot and were standalone. This was also me when... you know what? This is me EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

2.

When I knew that each episode would be messed up, and I prepared myself. But no one prepared me for "White Bear." Nothing ever could.

3.

At the end of "San Junipero," before the credits, I was filled with sadness at the prospect of the two lead characters of the episode not getting together. But as the credits went on and it showed that they DID get together, I cried tears of happiness seeing two people fall in love: two women nonetheless. My gay heart fluttered.

4.

At the end of "Shut Up and Dance" and this fateful image was sent to the characters:

5.

In the show's first episode, "The National Anthem," the Prime Minister had sex with a pig...and that is not a euphemism.

6.

This was me during the all of "Be Right Back." Hayley Atwell's acting was phenomenal, and the ending got me feeling some type of way.

7.

This was my face all throughout "Playtest." Was he in reality? Was he in the video game? WHAT IS GOING ON?

8.

This is me every. single. episode. Just when I think I figured it all out, "Black Mirror" decides to just turn my world upside down. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

9.

"Black Mirror" makes me want to give up technology and live far away in the woods. You see how technology impacts the lives of the characters and in most cases, destroy their lives.

10.


The technology in "The Entire History of You" was genius and made life convenient, at first. I couldn't stop watching how the characters used it. But of course, this technology ended up ruining their lives, making me hate technology all over again (see number 9).

11.

"Black Mirror" causes you to reflect on your life, think about the technology you use, and question your morals. This show has made me cry, laugh, scared, and fall into existential crises. It's a series that is intelligent, ground-breaking, and inventive, and it is definitely worth watching.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
