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 🥲
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful isnt it?
Winter fan here. This is a problem, which is why the sun shouldn’t rise until about 9:45 in the winter.
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

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.
Summer fans be like “ah yes 50 degrees celsius”
my country still maxes out 30-35
Yeah anything above about 24 and I’m dying. Meanwhile winter is nice and cold so I can just wear more if it’s a problem
Yes. But at night it gets way better and at worst is annoying. Winter is cold all day all the time and causes literally pain and sickness
High latitude people can’t comprehend the heat
What the fuck are you talking about? People at high latitudes have the hottest summers. Ever hear of Darwin? Cairns? Broome? It’s the people from the south that don’t know what heat is. Adelaidians will complain about the heat and it’s only 30 degrees.
I’ve never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they’re responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.
Probably the mention of winter. The Southern Hemisphere has just left Winter… Also I think they’re driving on the left side of the road in the picture.
Yeah, the picture’s of the intersection of Flinders and Exhibition in Melbourne
Higher latitudes are always further from the equator. Why are you people arguing about this when neither of you seem to understand that the lowest latitude is 0 degrees which is exactly on the equator.
Only if by higher you mean higher absolute value, it’s not particularly unorthodox for “higher” to generally refer to “more up on North up maps”
-12° is the same size as 12°. For angles the negative sign denotes direction. -12 N is just 12 S. Sure, but maps can be turned upside down. Is higher now south? What about a map centered on the north pole. Which direction is up then?
It’s a late winter but very distant from Christmas miracle!
Latitude of Darwin: 12.5 S
Latitude of Adelaide: 34.9 S
“High latitudes have the hottest summers”
I have arthritic joints and would still rather winter than sweat all day in >90% humidity
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.
