Am I getting too assblasted about this? I'm having a pretty shit day so maybe its that, but for some reason I just feel really insulted.
be grateful for the cake you faggot
always go with pizza.
your mom didn't mean it badly. she's obviously nice, but perhaps not very smart or understanding of your situation.
>>29331301
>>realize I can't win this
>Ask for specific thing
>They get something different
>Hey why aren't you grateful
Every time
I'd rather just get nothing
>>29331301
>black icing
why would anyone think this is a good idea. the taste is ruined by the heavy food coloring
>>29331301
Explain to your friends that she did this. They probably listen to similar bands and will laugh that your Mom thought to do this and this is what "rock music" is.
Make jokes about it, it'll probably improve the party that there's a funny inside joke cake.
>muh edgy cake
Also there's nothing to be insulted about, you can't expect your mother to know anything about that genre of music and what is and isn't cool. She really just wanted to do something really special for you, and you should go thank her and give her a hug right now.
My parents have always ignored me and would never have taken an interest in the things I'm into, I haven't had a birthday cake/party since I was maybe seven.
Seriously, go tell your Mom that you love and appreciate her you fuck.
>>29331335
We were actually going to go with pizza but I got really drunk and threw up a lot of pizza at my friends 21st last weekend. She said I most likely won't want pizza for a little while which is true.
I get where you're coming from with this OP. It was a good intention gone wrong. It's probably just your mom forgetting how old you really are and how a cake that edgy just does not appeal anymore.
>>29331301
>>literally black icing
>>29331374
I agree but I don't have a lot of room to complain since they pay for all my school and shit.
>>29331444
>Explain to your friends that she did this. They probably listen to similar bands
Hell no, I'm the only one that listens to this shit. I have to try my hardest not to come across as some edgy faggot because I don't listen to the latest EDM/Raveshit/Skrillstep on SoundCloud.
I think I'm just having a shit day.
>>29331541
Its scary how close that picture would be if I hadn't lost 70 lbs since my last birthday.
Atleast you have a mum to get you a cake lastbirthday for me i was kicked out of the house because my dad and i had a fight,i havent got a cake in 10 years im 21
>>29331681
would you really want a cake at 21?
Haven't had a cake since I was 8.
It was a pizza with a candle on the top btw, we were moving that day, my dad bought a pizza we ate it then we moved to another city which I was then bullied for another 10 years pretty much.
If I had a scanner and access to my dad family pictures I would show you guys. pic is a bit old since it's been almost 20 years.
Update
She took the skulls and cards off, aside from the flames it looks semi normal now.

I'll see what I can do, give me a little bit
>>29331709
Of course he would wtf is wrong with you
>t. 22 recently, no cake
fuck cakes, brownies are the superior birthday food
>tfw had delicious salted caramel brownies on my last birthday
probably gonna do that every year from now on
>>29332001
>>29331965
I am remaining anonymous
>>29332155
>salted caramel
ahh the pumpkin spice of summer
>>29332157
id like some side pics.
it seems like you have no sense of humor and should feel bad. cake looks pretty rad to me.
>>29332157
Take the dick out of your ass, plant your tongue firmly in cheek and go enjoy your birthday, you ingrate.
>>29332157
FFS Aaron, it's fine.
>>29332431

Try again

FFS Austin, it's fine.
>>29332551
I should've spent another 4 hours in paint cutting off the A.
>>29332431
>>29332469
obviously austin... like the most popular millennial baby name. which means censoring it was retarded.
>>29332573
>naming your child after the capital of Texas
You should be insulted, Austin, you have a shit name. Your parents hate you.
>>29332579
I've literally never met anyone called Austin.
>>29331709
My gf made me a cake for my 29th birthday.
>>29332612
Pretty common name in the south desu.
>>29332621
>gf
>3DPD
Anon that is disgusting
>>29332155
/ck/ please go
>>29331301
Maybe she was unaware how juvenile it may look in the end but OP be fair, it truly is the thought that counts.
You said you are fine with cake balls and she went and got a custom made one of something she believed that you like!
You don't have to show it to your friends, I'm not sure why that came into your mind. Would you have been showing off cake balls? I'm a bit confused to that point. I suggest you cool off. Have some water. Then go down and apologise to your mother. I don't know our living situation but it genuinely seems like she cares enough to do this for you and she is probably quite a bit hurt now.
Come on OP, do the right thing.
>>29331301
>tell her I can't even show this to my friends
Get the fuck out
>>29333379
>You don't have to show it to your friends, I'm not sure why that came into your mind
Having friends over for cake is a fairly common thing to do if you have a full fledged cake.
That cake seems pretty fucking cool m8
I wish I had a cake
Appreciate the thought
If you truly hate it then mash it between your teeth and show it who's boss
And hug your mommy for trying
>>29333379
This. Don't be an ungrateful edgelord, Anon. Kind people are rare.
Your mother loves you and I'm sure the cake looks fine. Remove the cards and if your friends ask say offhand that your mother made a "rock" themed cake because she cares.
>>29331371
>tfw my 20th birthday was like this
>tfw no presents because I had no desire for anything
>tfw ripped up my birthday cards because I couldn't stand the shame of seeing them knowing how useless I am
>tfw broke down crying for hours
>>29331301
>Having birthday cake
Not since I was twelve, I think. And parties? Ever? Why, anon?
All that matters is your reaction to it OP. People are always going to do stupid shit and you should learn to see their actions for what they are regardless if they didn't carry it out well. The worst thing you can do is act embarrassed or like you care to your friends and family. It's just a cake... perhaps make a light joke about it if anyone asks and your casualness about it will influence them into the same attitude
>>29334143
>And parties? Ever? Why, anon?
Usually I just go to eat with my friends and we go see a movie or something. The "party" is just going to be a gathering of my close relatives and probably my cousins/aunt-uncle etc. I didn't ask for it.
>>29334196
>It's just a cake... perhaps make a light joke about it if anyone asks and your casualness about it will influence them into the same attitude
Wouldn't work senpai my friends are all memers and we all bants the shit out of each other. Told one of my friends about the cake and he asked if the wounds crawling in my skin had healed yet.
>>29331301
At least someone was nice enough to give a shit.
>>29334447
>not being able to handle that good-natured level of bantz
wowweewow, youre a little bitch, not surprising since youre this fucking upset over a goofy cake.
>>29334493
I can handle bantz faggot but this is just needless ammunition.
>>29334635
if you can handle it why are you complaining?bcuz ur a bitchboi,bitchboi.
>>29334635
what is anyone gonna be able to say about your birthday cake? for real
show us the album covers and skulls
>>29334690
They got thrown out, they were just paper cards pinned to the top.
I think one was a British Steel (fucking disgusting) and the other was like a bunch of the Maiden albums in sequence.
Skulls are definitely in the trash with them.
>>29331374
You know what I got for my birthday? Oh, it was a banner fucking year at the old Bender family. I got a carton of cigarettes. The old man grabbed me and said, "Hey, smoke up Johnny." All right? So go home and cry to your Daddy.
Don't cry on my board, okay?
>>29332157
>Edgy: The Cake
She should have filled it with red sugar bell to make it bleed when you cut it
>>29334781
>pic related-
>its you
>oh my god you got me such a LAME CAKE MOM, I'm so embarrassed, there's no way I can tell all my friends
Do you think maybe your mom perceives you as a child because you act like a child?
Your mom loves you so, so much dude. You can't even imagine. And when you were a kid you probably loved her just as much, only for you to grow older and become too hard for her to understand or please, and now she knows she'll never get those exuberant, unfiltered, adoring hugs and smiles from you ever again; she'll never be your favorite person in the whole world again, even though you still are to her. And she's just gotta live with that because that's life. But it's a raw fuckin' deal that parents get, so make it a little easier for her and don't throw it in her face when she gets you a less than perfect birthday cake.
>tfw dad got me cum cake
>>29335001
>oh my god you got me such a LAME CAKE MOM, I'm so embarrassed, there's no way I can tell all my friends
I didn't say it like that, I told her I appreciated it but I did voice my honest opinion on it. She knows my father and I hate surprises, why she thought this was a good idea is beyond me.
>Do you think maybe your mom perceives you as a child because you act like a child?
Telling someone your opinion on something meant for them makes you a child? Man I knew this blogboard was full of beta faggots but that really takes the cake.
>>29334852
It's a quote from a movie you dumb ass.
>>29335202
>its a quote from a movie
Yes, and?
You know what
I'm gonna go shower, relax, read some of my favorite loli porn and come back to the cake when I'm in a better mood.
>Mommy makes you a cake
>You act picky and complain
Be thankful that you get cake at 21. My birthdays weren't celebrated since I turned 16.
>>29335184
Nigga the point is your opinion isn't fucking called for. She tried to do something nice for you. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, especially if it's your goddamn mom who gave it to you. You're not entitled to cakes that make you feel like a kool kid.
>>29335202
Even if you did know the movie, your post does not make sense. Are you implying I do not believe in God or something?

Yeah but was he going to invite friends over for his fucking cake balls that he requested? Doubt it
Fucking sucks for you. Last birthday my parents celebrated with me, I was 12. They know I don't and didn't care about my birthday.
>>29335361
No, if he had cake balls he would've just ate them. If you have a full fledged cake you usually tell your friends to come by and have a slice while hanging out or something.
>getting upset over icing on a cake
There are parents out there that wouldn't get their kid a cake.
>>29331301
This is some mighty fine b8 you got OP. But it does beg the question, who else feels like shit when your mom actually tries to make your birthday nice? It hurts worse when she really wants to lift your spirits and do nice things. I'd probably be happy she got me a themed cake, but miserable that she shelled out so much money trying to think of me.
>>29335001
> now she knows she'll never get those exuberant, unfiltered, adoring hugs and smiles from you ever again; she'll never be your favorite person in the whole world again, even though you still are to her
ignore that filename, im suicidal over here
>>29335440
Oh boo hoo so tyrone and tyrese aren't getting a cake because their father j'qarious is in jail.
>>29336445
Why you gotta bring race into it?
>>29332157
That's a pretty cool looking cake. Quit being a spoiled baby. Most people don't even get shit from their parents for their birthdays by 21.
>>29331301
>Am I getting too assblasted about this?
yes, your mom was trying to do something special for her kid(since 21 is kinda a big deal and she cares about you). so stop being a prick and just enjoy the god damn cake.
>>29331301
Should have just endured, op. I have a similar story:
>couple years ago
>19th birthday coming up
>parents asking what I want, all sorts of stupid stuff like that
>tell them that I want nothing, and they do not even need to buy me a cake
>fast forward about a week to my birthday
>dinner time
>out comes an abomination
>1.5" of green icing
>has something crudely drawn on it in icing
>looks like something someone with dementia would create
>try to be polite; hide my disapproval
>taste it
>literally tastes like toothpaste
>toothpaste
>visible contempt, but I don't say anything
I managed to keep the people providing me with food and shelter happy. Upsetting parents is a very dangerous thing; don't want them kicking you out or treating you in a less preferable manner.
>>29331709
28 and I still complain if mummy doesn't get me both christmas stocking AND presents under the tree
>>29335184
>but that really takes the cake.
kek
OP rationally everyone else is here is right, your mom tried to make something she thought youd like and you couldve laughed it off etc. but if that were me, who knows I might have done the same. when youre depressed youll be likely to find the worst side of most situations
>>29332157
That's a really expensive cake, pretend you had a change of heart, apologize to mom, and try to play it off as ironic to your friends.
>>29337202
lel, he said he already had his mom half destroy it like a huge ass

I would.

this lil nig would get a full on lecture from me if i were the parent. or maybe just cry and ask what i did to deserve this jewish mum style
>>29337322
I might pretend to go along with it and then write something devilish/print an embarrassing baby photo on that weird edible paper and present it to OP and friends.
>>29337270
I didn't have her do that, she just said look how about I take the crap off of it and make it look a little more normal. Think she started to see where I was coming from, women don't understand the first time around why someone feels a certain way about something.
>>29337351
Oh shit, little pink jelly beans with trails of pink frosting coming off them and little black dots for eyes, and the words "I wish I had gotten an abortion"
Today was my 21st birthday.
I woke up and went to my school to review a test I need to retake this Thursday. Then I got home and watched twitch. Then I went to the gym. Then I got home and switched between twitch, one piece and 4chan. Then I ordered and picked up dinner like I always do because no one had the decency to do at least one of those things, even on my birthday. Then I ate and watched Ice Poseidon on twitch until his steam ended. Then I jerked off to incest hentai. Then I watched one piece. Then I watched twitch for 30 minutes and got ready for bed, then got in bed and now I will just browse 4chan until 3 on my phone then try to sleep while thinking about how I shouldn't let anything get to me and I shouldn't let myself feel anxious or depressed because if things ever get to much for me I can always take my dads gun and shoot myself, and that thought is the only thought than can get rid of the gaping pit in my stomach.

Birthdays really are just a reminder of how much time we wasted. We can't help but take this day to ruminate on regrets.
Its hard to find shit to celebrate about, but we did make it another year without losing our minds, right?
cheers on not going mad, and to a hopefully better year, birthday boy
