Sometimes being a parent is Dear Utol (2025): Week 8 Highlights Episode 45just perfecting the art of smiling and nodding supportively while your kid goes off about the latest beautubedrama or who's the best healer in Overwatch.
Parents put up with a lot, but, honestly, so do kids. You're standing there, having a meltdown over fictional characters or trying to explain some complex comic book lore, and you can see it in your parent's eyes — it's just completely going over their heads.

The meme is actually a mashup of two previous memes. In March of 2018, Twitter user and former Vine star @quenblackwell tweeted a video of herself screaming with the caption "sometimes you just have to let it out..scream if you have to."
