The Fellowship gets on the topic of their ages one night and Boromir comes to the dawning realization that he has absolutely no idea how old any of his companions are supposed to be at all

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

Ten future scenarios you can project onto a pair of infants other than “this girl baby and this boy baby will grow up to date,” in case that is ever useful—

Aww, she’s totally gonna run a heist with him, then at the last second betray him in exchange for her own private island and a helicopter full of caviar!

Someday those two will work for the same private detective agency; she’ll be the bruised idealist on a mission to find her spouse’s real killer and he’ll be the hired muscle who ultimately grows tired of her constant backhanded digs and self-sabotage.

Ohh, look at them! They are absolutely gonna be roommates in clown college.

In 28 years, she’s gonna show up at her high school reunion feeling unstoppable until she learns that his catering company has put shrimp in everything.

You can just tell that when they grow up, he’ll be on his way to an important meeting and she’ll be the TSA agent who makes him late because she’s high at work and convinced his C-Pap machine is trying to communicate.

They’re cooing at each other! Many years from now, they are gonna collaborate on a lush musical adaptation of Moby Dick, and it will be a flop.

She’s gonna grow up to be a historical re-enactor and he’s gonna become her nemesis, a man who shows up at every event pretending to be a time traveler, but not in a cute way, in a really obnoxious way.

They are totally gonna get married! As part of a complicated insurance scam. And then go their separate ways and never interact again.

See her looking around, you can already tell she’s so smart. She’s gonna work in communications for her city's public transit system, yes she is! And he’s gonna be the reason she has to pull an all-nighter to throw together a sign to hang inside every bus that says “no penny farthings allowed.”

On the night when she goes to the nearest big box hardware store and—bleary-eyed—buys only a saw, a shovel, and a bottle of bleach, he will be the guy who rings her up and blessedly asks no questions. (PAUSE) Look at those chubby little cheeks!

The times on the packages are all lies anyway. No point in setting a timer.

actually one of my favourite things about the mandalorian is that like every character is at least 40. no angsty teen heroes here, just a bunch of middle aged adults becoming aunts and uncles to a baby that is also 50 years old.

For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"

Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....
