Posted as a winter fan myself
Those vibes look immaculate
I want to be leaned against one of those buildings smoking a cigarette :3
I’ll take that for sure. Absolutely loooove winter. I downright detest summer. It’s too bright, too warm, sweaty, makes me irritable and I’m less productive in general.
To quote The Weeknd: I come alive in the fall time. My mood improves, everything gets cosy and comfortable. Fall and winter bring nice things like christmas, hot chocolate, gorgeous colors in nature, nice sweaters, warm jackets. Absolutely love it.
Winter fans are gamers and vampires. Or gamer vampires. But Summer fans want skin cancer. They crave it you see. They want their skinflesh to rebel against the tyranny of their biological code, awoken by the sun’s burning light.
But seriously, winter sucks for me right now because I have to go to work and driving in snowy conditions is miserable. And Summer sucks because the AC in my room is terrible and the sun burns me pretty bad if I’m not careful. I’m glad its only fall ATM but of course almost everyone loves fall. And most people at least like spring.
Exactly, yes. I love when it’s darker earlier, I live in the night
Hell yeah brother!
Summer fans be like “Ah yes, 5AM 🥵🪭🔥”
bro, have you not known what sleep is?
I wake up early to go to work and Satan’s breath is already circulating even then 🥲
Hate the early darkness because it marks the end of my garden and the beginning of muddy paws and shoes needing to be cleaned before entering the house, but otherwise winter is beautiful.
Better than summer time when it’s 8pm and still fucking bright daylight.
Oh no the horror, a few more hours of daylight to enjoy after work. If only we could have more darkness in the day to really liven things up
Some of us want to go to sleep when it’s dark and not when it’s still daytime.
Meh, I’m with the non-vampire. Put blackout blinds up and let us go enjoy our daylight
If it’s 4 hours til midnight, I should not be able to see the sun.
What? I can finally sleep without sweating my balls off while mosquitoes turn me into an itchy Hellraiser character?
That’s me, give me those dark cold days I can snuggle warm blankies when I get home. Fun fact: you can always dress more when you are cold but there is a physical limit to dressing less when you’re too warm.
Winter fan here. This is a problem, which is why the sun shouldn’t rise until about 9:45 in the winter.
Beautiful isnt it?
The vibes are pretty comfy until you get past -15°C and/or mid-to-late January. After that, it’s either too cold, too slushy, or too grey and gross for me to enjoy.
Give me a summer evening/late night over that any day. Do love me a good snowstorm, though (from inside, with a hot spiked coffee and simulated fireplace).
-15°C
Sitting beside a wood stove with a hot drink and book, good food, and sauna.
Especially the later: 85+°C sauna in sub-zero weather is amazing.
Fuck yes. “Winter depression” beats the shit out of summer exhaustion. Especially up here where the sun won’t stay down long for most of summer.
Give me snow and ice so I can wear my good boots and coat.
I actually get summer depression if it’s too hot and doesn’t rain for a long time.
You mustn’t get “winter depression” particularly bad then. I can’t get anything done when DST does away. Extreme cold or extreme heat I can easily find physical solutions to (my house is well-insulated), but spending all daylight hours in front of a screen then having zero sunlight for after-work activities is just a burden I have to bear 5 months out of the year and it makes me want to kill myself or become a bricklayer or sth.
Find the time to go outside during work hours. Take a little walk or something. It’s easy for me since I used to be a smoker but I get how it would make other people uncomfortable. If you live in a northern country it’s very likely you have the right to these kinds of breaks.
It has certainly helped to be able to work from home in the last couple years so I do take a walk during lunchtime. Working in an office you’re expected to socialize during lunch breaks, which happen indoors…
Even then, 30 minutes of daylight every day five days a week in the best case scenario is NOT a lot, especially when it’s cloudy for weeks on end so saying “daylight” is already kind of stretching it.
I also used to be an office worker and lunchtime is for you and you only. If what you need is to sit alone with a podcast and decompress, people need to be respectful of that. People are usually more understanding than they’re given credit for.
“All I want for Christmas, is youUuuu!”
She’s on the roof!
Pic is weirdly comfy ngl
You might enjoy !thenightfeeling@lemmy.world
Omg there’s a community for this???
Def joining that, nice.
I can feel myself getting happier in real time (hit 7’C last night and already my mood is improving) as the pitch dark silence of winter sets in. All the annoying birds migrate away, insects are all dead or hibernating, no rustling leaves, and most humans stop making sounds or going outside as much especially at night when I’m personally most active as a night owl. When my nostril hairs freeze together for the first time that year I’m positively ecstatic. I live further north than 95% of Canadians so even less daylight in the winter which is fucking great. The Sun < Vitamin D liquid drops. Go away, shitty fusion ball.
Your > sign is backwards I think
It’s like “Call of the Night” minus the vampires.
I am in love with this vibe. Shame that this isn’t a more active community.
Thanks, just cross posted
You’re right. I might enjoy it indeed.
that is actually extremely my vibe. I used to work second shift, and third shift for awhile before that. is nice that the whole region is winding down. traffic is much more tolerable, grocery stores aren’t busy, life is a bit quieter
Best part about winter, the quieter pace of things. An introvert’s dream.
