Late one night, tweaking out and in desperate need of positive affirmation of my drug use, I spend 3 hours constructing a shitpost about taking meth and jerking off to the very very gay paintings of Italian master Caravaggio.

The stoned masses of r/drugs oblige, the post is massively upvoted and my spun out ramblings are hailed as comedic genius:

"Only someone on meth could so exquisitely produce such a literary masterpiece." (+4)

"i'm high on weed, i thought it was very poetic and the visuals were all described perfectly. and i laughed so hard!" (+4)

"This post is beautifully manic" (+8)

"This is world class trolling right here. Massively creative and entertaining." (+8)

"idk if its cos im high on dxm but this is the funniest post ever" (+3)

I also succeed in giving the unwashed hippies and dead-eyed vagrants that read r/drugs a little cultural refinement:

"I have a renewed appreciation for Caravaggio now."

"Man those paintings are pretty fucking good quality" (+19)

"Pretty astonishing work" (+4)

"Damn those ones of Jesus are pretty hot.." (+4)

Needless to say I vow to continue using meth in the future, and inform my therapist that I need it to be creative, as well as for my ADHD, migraines, social anxiety and chronic fatigue.

If you are wondering, yes I am a shameless attention whore and an extremely special snowflake.

Caravaggio is great, I like Judith beheading Holofernes and The Denial of St Peter

I certainly think so. I like to think of his paintings, realistic as they are, as like snapshots of the past. When you think about it they more or less are the only photorealistic images of those times we have left.

Sounds like someone that just finished their art history class.
