bc it's a more whimsical version of my favorite: "I climbed into this dumpster myself and good fucking luck getting me back out again"

(eg: It's my maladaptive daydream, I get to pick the music)

Delulu has been around in the certain sub cultures far long then TikTok has been a thing

oh that's good to know, then

A lot of 'TikTok language' is just co-opted from other sub cultures

that makes sense, I'm just used to it being new words/phrases to get around content and personal filters

oh yeah some of it is like coded langague so they can talk about marginalized communities with out the videos getting taken down, but they should just bleep the words instead of softening language

yeah delulu is a cute one

I just like, envision the difference as
'climbed into this dumpster myself' = monsterfuckers & HTP and the like
vs.
'deep in my delulu' = everyone lived and had tea parties every other weekend and went to therapy

even if it's the same canon/fandom

I like "delulu" for reasons but it's hard to explain. I especially like it for fandom takes that are almost completely divorced from reality.

I don’t use TikTok but every now and then when I see videos from there and there is Tik Tok language I have to google the meaning. But at least I got this one by the context. I feel so old.
