    i love that she's very autistic-coded while still being funny, and dramatized for entertainment without being ableist like it's genuinely good rep

    It does lend to the theory that being on the spectrum can be hereditary. Just looking at her mum and her uncle it's kinda obvious.

    this showed me how she’s always doing something in the background. i hadn’t noticed before bc she’s not pulling focus, but she’s giving orla a full life even outside of what the script shows of her. very good from an acting standpoint

    Orla wanting to keep her tonsils is one of my fave reoccurring gags in the show lol. I love that even their Grand Da asked about them when he was introduced to the villain who took her tonsils and then threw them away.

    I'm also autistic and non-binary (not a lesbian but happy lesbian visibility week!) and I love Orla so much! I think she's a great example of someone being truly themselves, autistic or not (although, I would guess that she's autistic) and I think that's awesome. I also loved the part where she said she had to eat the strawberry pop-tart out of pity because, as a child, I would always have a strange amount of empathy for inanimate objects. I honestly have so much to say about each clip and about Orla and Derry Girls as a whole but have kept this brief so I don't lose track of time. This was a lovely video, thank you!

      @TishyRose หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Absolute truth! But you can’t always trust frozen chips, a dry, powdery, frozen chip is evil. Chips from a chippy are best I think. By chippy I mean fish n chip shop, where I live is right by the sea so if you like fish you’re in for a treat. Some shops will even do a battered Mars Bar, and one I know of will pretty much batter anything if you ask, you can even get battered creme eggs. I do not recommended a “half battered pizza,” it’s half a pizza in batter and my friend bought it just to try and gave me a bite and no…just no. Crime against my palate.
      In my opinion we’ve got the best chippies, you can even get Smokies if you want to. Our town is famous for Smokies, even though they were from Auchmithie, we just took them and now it’s our tourist thing. Look that up if you want some old, niche, Scottish drama 😹
      We have something actually important and interesting from history we could use to bring in tourists but no, our council are dumb and won’t capitalise on the importance of Scottish history to bring money to our town, they’d rather just charge us more in council tax for their failings. Yes, we aren’t a city, but we could be getting more tourists than just people from Glasgow who want a cheap holiday by the sea.
      Anyway, sorry for the rant, chips are THE safe food though. Your mind made my mind 🤯 in a good way!
