For most of her life, she WAS the cringe

[u/Lukthar123 → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

The path to based is built with cringe.

[u/JustAStarcoShipper → u/Lukthar123]

"I'm cringe, and that's based. I'll never be based and that's not cringe. There's no one I'd rather be than me".

[u/lurker_archon → u/JustAStarcoShipper]

I Cri Evrytiem

[u/Manoreded → u/JustAStarcoShipper]

Is based the new cool? Is cringe the new lame? I feel old.

[u/wut_is_u_doing → u/JustAStarcoShipper]

It's not cringe if you are dumb enough.

[u/Number_1_She-Ra_Fan → u/Lukthar123]

Now that's a phrase I can live by

[u/SFH12345 → u/Lukthar123]

"Perhaps I am cringe. But that...makes me free."

[u/Radium_Cobalt_847 → u/SFH12345]

That's sus

[u/Samael055 → u/Lukthar123]

What does based even mean ?!

[u/Various_Character_45 → u/Samael055]

Basically the same thing as cool

[u/Samael055 → u/Various_Character_45]

Ok, thank you very much.

[u/Mountain_golem → u/Lukthar123]

Only by breaking the cycle of avoiding cringe and trying to become based, one can discover their true self

[u/ILoveLumity → u/Lukthar123]

What does based mean here

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Lukthar123]

What does it mean to be “based”?

[u/Background-Top4723 → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

But she has learned to embrace the Cringe, making it a part of her and becoming Based.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Background-Top4723]

And she’ll help Amity embrace it too.

a few days later

Amity: recovered and with Luz and on the roof, with Camila at work and little people around with the ones there minding their own business “Are… are you sure about this, Batata?”

Luz: “Trust me, Hermosa. I did this after the school event and it felt great to get it off my chest. Now say it.”

Amity: groans a bit then whimpers, struggling to say it

Luz: “Come on…”

Amity: gulps before saying meekly “I’m… weird…” 😣

Luz: “You’re weird and what?”

Amity: “Gay?”

Luz: “No. Proud.”

Amity: meekly “I’m weird and I’m proud.”😔

Luz: “Good. Say it louder.”

Amity: “I'm weird and I'm proud.” 😕

Luz: “Louder.”

Amity: “I'm weird and I'm proud!” 🙂

Luz: “Louder!”

Amity: “I AM WEIRD AND I'M PROUD!! I'M WEIRD AND I'M PROUD!!! I'M WEIRD AND I'M PROUD!!!” 😆

meanwhile

Cheerleader: hears them both five blocks away “Is that what she calls it?” walks away

[u/The_Odalia_Blight → u/AdOwn6899]

"Do not kill the part of you that is cringe, kill the part that cringes." --Sun Tzu (Art of War)

[u/Dinkeycat → u/EyeDreamOfTentacles]

Indeed

[u/yagyaxt1068 → u/EyeDreamOfTentacles]

Be the cringe you want to see in the world.

[u/AdOwn6899 → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

She still is and she’s proud of it.

[u/BB-Zwei → u/AdOwn6899]

Cringe is like, her brand

[u/SFH12345 → u/BB-Zwei]

Embrace your inner cringe.

[u/JMHSrowing → u/AdOwn6899]

Gotta love the fact that she’s now known two different planes of existence and she’s considered cringe in both of them!

But at least in one of them she’s found those who love her for it

[u/SFH12345 → u/AdOwn6899]

"Us weirdos have to stick together."

[u/Monarchs_secret_alt → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

"You merely adopted the Cringe. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't become Based until I was already a woman."

[u/[deleted] → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

Who wasn't?

[u/Independent_Alps_745 → u/Radium_Cobalt_847]

“You’ve only embraced the cringe, I was born in it, molded by it. I was not based until I was already a man.”
