Full Of It #201 - Sugar Rush

Love the pod, newish patreon but longtime watcher ! For years I've been looking for this, I remember back in highschool loving seeing gay people my age, same with Maxi (the rather bland) from Skins, I think I'll need to get a bottle of wine and rewatch it

these pods are getting me through the last couple of months of college. don’t ever stop being you lymp! you mean more to me then you’ll ever know 💖

This show is such a black sheep when it comes to portraying an lgbt love story. I’m so happy that these things exist for people who are having trouble coming out. Would you ever consider doing a pod about Alanis Morissette? I adore her and would love an hour of you talking about her. Great pod as always! ❤️

Honestly, I absolutely love Blackpool. 😂 being from Newcastle we went to Blackpool every year for holiday and even now my girlfriend and I go at least once a year to Funny Girls, so we have a little piss about there too. It’s incredibly tragic, but it’s a classic shit seaside holiday 😂

These pods are literally me…. Start on one thing and go off about something else. Love it! Remember watching this show and thinking being gay was cool and I knew a few girls who came out after this aired. Ps tree light idea: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/767434371

Hi doll, amazing pod as usual 💕 I spent a lot of my time in school being a young carer for my mum at the time of her having cancer through my whole secondary school experience. I was miserable most of the time and which I mean I understand why I put a face on most of the time and just was really kind to people which was a horrid idea because I then got picked on for being nice to people which teenagers most the time are literal dickheads. On top of that I was trying to figure out my sexuality which I was very surprised it wasn’t the main reason i got picked on but no it was mostly being the “teachers pet.” even though I knew another lesbian in school who got bullied for being gay but in school I was a feminine lesbian and not what people refer to as a “tom boy” which that term annoy me to this day. I wish I had a show like this when I was in my teenage years growing up something I’d relate to a lot because there wasn’t much for lesbians it was all catered towards gay boys/ men most of the time, I can’t think of much shows directed to queer women. P.s: If you do read out my comment you can read the whole paragraph out and If you feel like it’s to personal to say about the cancer part, you have my full permission to read it out :)

Like I wrote when you mentioned it a couple of weeks ago, Sugar Rush really had such a profound effect on me growing up as a gay teenager. I think it effected me the way that Skins effects straight teenagers, the first few series were quite gritty and realistic but very depressing, it always made me feel like a saint seeing these teens doing drugs and drinking and fucking and partying every single night seemingly and they were the same age as me, just sitting at home eating and playing video games and doing homework. In contrast Sugar Rush felt like that was me, that’s really how people my age are and the way they think, I did relate more to her weirdo brother than to Kim though

I also think it's hilarious that you bring up if their is any scenes I'm tv or movie where coming out is handled in a very nice or cute way because the Netflix adaption of hearstopper came out a few days ago, which has by far the cutest coming out scene ever in the history of television. It made me ugly cry from how sweet it ( may have been because I love the graphic novels the show was based on but hey hoe 🌿🍂p)

Debbie Harry actually wrote one way or another about a stalker she had. That's why the lyrics are kinda fucked because it's from her stalkers perspective trying to find her one way or another
