#I meant to say ‘younger’

[daydadahlias]

any time i feel like my life is slipping away from me I remember the “open eyes right at twenty-three” line from take my hand and realize that im not even 23 yet. i have time

I’m going to say this in the most loving and compassionate way I know how

💙 you need to shut the fuck up 💙

im teasing but seriously the internet has so warped some of y’all’s perception of what age is and it’s genuinely so disappointing. If you are under 25, your goddamn brain is not fully developed and you need to chill out with this “im on the edge of my deathbed the second I turn 20” bullshit, especially if you’re a woman because media is constantly trying to convince you that you’re worthless if you’re not skinny and fresh-faced. Trust me, you’re fine. Your life is not slipping away. You’re literally not even a quarter into it. If you wanna come back and have this conversation when you’re 60, by all means feel free. But until then imma need you to buck up buttercup.

#I can’t stand ageism sorry pal it’s my number one pet peeve #it turns me into a monster #like you quite actually have your entire life ahead of you #if you’re younever than 40 I never wanna hear SHIT about you wasting your life #ageism in fandom is so pronounced it’s truly so sad #why does the internet act like women over 23 aren’t allowed to live their lives anymore ?? #calling 30 yo men middle aged?? #I need everyone to get it together asap lol #like be so srs rn #pigeon #anon #sorry I know you want me to validate ur feelings and be like yeah same!! but #no #I’m 21 bro I’m fresh as a damn daisy #and I also. don’t hate women so ageism makes me angy #ok yeah ur life is fine #uh. politely 💙 pls get over yourself RN shawty I’m begging #you are a lily in spring #wow do you like that word I invented before 40 #I meant to say ‘younger’

can you really talk about tim's tendency to idolize and place dick on a pedestal and his semi-entitlement to understanding dick without also talking about dick's tendency to project his own feelings and insecurities onto tim and also his semi-entitlement to his right to try and micromanage how tim should feel and react about things. i, personally, cannot.

#dick and tim #anyways trust me when i say that none of this is meant in a negative way because this is what i Like about them lmao #forever thinking of the M/F fight where dick expects that tim will go alone with his line of thinking just because he says so #and is shocked when tim doesn't and instead has his own thoughts and feelings abt the matter #and babs has to tell him that tim isn't him & had a fundamentally different experience to him #it's like hmmm very realistic to me #the way they do this to each other in a way that almost is depersonalizing but like isn't actually #it's more just that they understand each other so well most of the time that it's easy to forget that they're their own person #with their own thoughts and feelings #like hm. there is something very realistically siblings about it in that #older siblings do tend to try and dominate the relationship with their thoughts and feelings because #their first memories are of being expected to lead their sibling and the sibling usually comes at a time when the older sib is v possessive #so the older sibling conceives the younger sibling as belonging to them and being kind of a hm extension of them vs their own person #meanwhile the younger sibling has no knowledge of a life where the older sibling doesn't exist #and the younger sibling's experience is that of observation of the older sibling from basically the very first day of life #so the younger sibling will often see and perceive the older sibling in very interesting ways #they're always learning something with thay observation good or bad #and thus probably develop more instrinsic understanding than even the parents do #and conflict comes because each is their own person but it's hard to see them that way sometimes #anyways there's also another thread where for dick it's hard to conceptualize tim's family of origin as real compared to them #but that's like mainly headcanon just know i'm right and it's interesting

Ok but the parallel of Gamora being a scared little girl on a planet that was crumbling and was being invaded by a cosmic fascist who killed half the people and kidnapped her from her family, raising her as his own and grooming her to be his weapon in his further fascist conquests

And Loki… being a scared little boy on a planet that was crumbling and was being invaded by a cosmic imperialist who killed half the people and kidnapped him from his family, raising him as his own and grooming him to be his weapon in his further imperial conquests.

Also: “Everything I hate about myself, you taught me.”

#I’m not saying it’s exactly the same thing but it sure as hell rhymes #I just wish loki was able to fully conceptualise his parental situation the way that gamora seemed to be able to #loki yeah he intellectually knows he was kidnapped from his home by the very man who was destroying it #and he knows he was meant to be a pawn his whole life #but the fact that he was younger than gamora when he was taken and didn’t have any memories of his actual family #combined with the fact that his family allegedly left him to die anyway #makes him sort of cling to Odin as a fatherly figure more than he would otherwise #just as a way to distance himself from his actual parents who he sees as even worse #does that make sense? #anyway #loki meta #loki #gamora meta #Gamora #lokimora #gamoraloki #not rly but tagging just in case #mcu #anti odin #something something something the majority of Loki’s ‘villainous’ character traits really did come from Odin

sorry i dont really like the shadow is silvers dad theory/headcanon/whatever and part of the reason for it is that people keep presenting it as an actual thing that could be possible even though it makes no sense and all "evidence" people use to back it up is easily disputed

#''they both have white chest fur'' okay ? there are so many other characters who have small physical traits in common #doesnt mean they have to be related #''shadow and silver are lancelot and galahad in sonic and the black knight'' okay and . #im sure there might be SOME meaning to the character choices in the storybook games but i highly doubt their lives are 1 to 1 parallels #or that the character choices are meant to imply anything about the characters that we dont already know #plus amy was nimue and nobody tries to argue that shadow and amy are related because of that? #also im aware that a lot of dad shadow stuff takes place in the future when silver is a baby and shadow has still been alive for a long tim #(which. how would that even work wasnt shadow in stasis again in the future) #but sometimes i see people do it with like present day shadow being a father figure to the silver who time traveled there ? #thats like the horrible combination of people infantilizing silver in a way they dont do with other characters his age or younger #and people pretending shadow is an adult when he isnt . what #also i dont get why people insist that if shadow is silver's dad then the other parent MUST be someone from the existing cast #like . silver is not from a few decades into the future hes from 200 years into the future #none of the characters youre saying shadow is gonna get with are gonna be living that long im sorry to say #and why does silver HAVE to be the child of a couple in the existing cast why cant he just be some random guy #and im not saying every au idea has to perfectly align with canon #but a lot of the people who think shadow is silvers dad arent presenting it as a fun little baseless headcanon #theyre presenting it as an actual plausible theory . when it really isnt . #also ive noticed one of the most common pairings for silvers parents is sonic and shadow . #sorry but that is just not happening i feel so strongly about sonic never wanting to get married or have kids #i think shadow being an older brother figure to silver could be cute . #and the idea of a timeline where shadow doesnt die or get put into stasis or whatever the hell and is still around in silvers time #could be interesting . but im not really on board with the dad thing

#feel like my relationship with my younger brother is changed completely forever not to be dramatic lol but i am sad #we used to b very close but he has kind of. found his faith again and gone full missionary christian which like. i knew meant the dynamic #was doomed lmao but actually acknowledging it makes me sad i feel like i'm grieving for the friendship we used to have even though #it is literally a me problem i think from his perspective he doesn't think anything has changed. but i feel weird about everything #also his new gf is nineteen and he is. almost 25 and i am the only one who feels weird about it like i know she's over 18 but! idk i can't #tell if i'm being overly cautious or if my gut instinct is right. my sister & her husband have a similar age gap but they met when they wer #both over 30 so like. it didn't feel weird. and i didn't feel comfortable actually seriously talking to him about it apart from the first #time he mentioned her over facetime (he went to another country to do mission stuff & met her there) so like an idiot i've just been #making jokes about the age gap becausee like. thats always been our thing lightly bullying each other lol but he blew up at me and said #i've had nothing positive to say about her since he's been back home and that he thinks i hate her and i'm out of line for constantly #implying he's creepy for dating someone younger. idk i felt like such a freak idiot horrible person about it. it completely blindsided me #bc yes the jokes were coming from a place of idk how i feel about this situation so i'm going to rely on the humour-based communication #we have always fallen back on as a safety thing but i guess i was wrong or the dynamic shifted or something anyway it's all fucked #& everyone is just telling me i feel weird out of some?? misplaced kind of jealousy thing?? because i'm 'losing' my brother to his gf lol #which does not feel right at all he has dated so many other girls and i have never had a problem it is literally the age gap like i haven't #even met this girl i'm sure she's very nice! i just worry about her being nineteen!! jesus. and yes maybe i do feel some resentment around #a brother younger than me who seems to be able to live his life with zero difficulty whilst i'm stuck being this unemployed loser who ruins #literally ever friendship & relationship ive ever had but i think thats ok right like i can't help feeling that. i don't fucking knowwww #am i just projecting all these sad feelings about our friendship dying onto his new relationship or like. am i right to be genuinely #concerned she's six years younger than him and still a fucking teenager!!!!!! i don't know

[beansterpie]

rewatching LoK, i'm being reminded how much I dislike the.... the brothers, mako and bolin, yanno? they're such underwhelming characters on basically every level. it'd almost be impressive if they weren't in every episode and didn't annoy me so much ugh

#bean talking into the void #also this show in general is very flawed lol #cool things about it but the choice to structure it more like a #prestige tv show #as in each season follows One Story #is... i wouldn't say it was a bad choice but i feel like you can see the growing pains #switching over from the episodic structure of ATLA #s1 while flawed is solid #it knows what it's trying to do even if it doesn't always stick the landing #season two feels like a season-long filler episode LMFAO #which is hilarious because a lot of world-building stuff happens #but tonally it's all over the place #serious political plots interspersed with the B Plot following Tenzin and his family #on vacation??? #so fucking random #but anyway back to roasting the brothers #i find bolin just annoying in general his brand of comedy totally doesn't work for me #but at least he has like #a personality that's consistent #mako is sooooooo blah #the writers have no idea what to do with him and he comes across as having a strikingly boring personality #with no defining traits other than being wishy washy (and a boot licker) #it FEELS like he was meant to remind viewers of Zuko #at least in appearance if nothing else #another broody pretty boy to latch onto #but he has literally nothing interesting to actually get invested in #sure he's got his tragic backstory and he's the 'older brother who took care of his younger brother after their parents died' boo hoo #but that's all just exposition and it's barely shown in a way that feels illustrative or emotional in any way that matters #(other than him comforting bolin in s1 after he KISSES THE GIRL HE KNEW BOLIN HAD A CRUSH ON lmfaoooooo) #(what a good big brother lmfao)

So I’m thinking about how Early Access 1, Cleric of Lolth Minthara, who is competing to be selected for Paladin training against other young Drow Clerics, would be what I can only phrase as her “Shadowheart phase.” Yeah, imagine act 1 Shadowheart about Shar, but Young Minthara and Lolth.

In case you forgot it’s this Minthara:

#[ 🕷️ ] —— musings #[ never forget I treat EA Minthy as her younger selves ] #[ imagine instead of Shadowheart’s ‘lady of sorrows guide us’ or ‘my lady-‘ ] #[ it’s ‘o’loth preserve me’ or ‘my queen would not approve-‘ ] #[ the first is something she does say in game but it’s more of a passing phrase ] #[ like saying ‘Oh my god.’ or ‘oh god’ but it’s minth saying ‘O’Lolth preserve me’ ] #[ only then when she was younger she meant it literaly as a prayer for forgiveness ] #[ 🕷️ ] —— headcanons

On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.

On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.

#as someone who was in an extremely toxic and chaotic fandom and lowkey still traumatized #to the point where I'm afraid to mention which fandom it was/what my ship was #i have to say #i genuinely love it here #i was nervous at first sharing my ships and headcanons but everyone is so chill i was worried for nothing #thank you to everyone I've interacted with who has made this fandom a healing experience for me #i shudder to think about what some of the people i interacted with in a previous fandom would do with ff6 #probably would take edgar's flirting at face value and call him problematic for objectifying women #instead of considering the narrative and what we know about him and the way he actually treats women #my man drinks loving and respecting women juice he's not a creep #or that weird moment with relm that admittedly made me double take before i realized what he meant #theyd have a whole campaign against him lmfao #bc those people boil characters alive until they're just a formless pile of tropes and stereotypes #and seem to disregard all positive aspects of a character they don't like which is fine #but then they go and try to force other people to think like they do and ugh #theres a lot of silly moments in the game and aspects of these characters that make them well rounded and realistically flawed at times #and i fear that would get lost in the chaos if the floodgates opened after a remake #maybe im just jaded lmao #im jaded and i have anxiety so im always thinking about The Worst Case Scenario #the collective positive spirit of the dwellers in this fandom might actually foster a positive space if more people were to come in #ff6 #my post #i was gonna say maybe this is bc we're mostly adults #but that falls flat when i remember how some of the most toxic and immature people in some fandoms are grown ass adults #who bully each other and younger fans #and some of the most mature and cool people were actually younger #maybe ff6 fans are just built different lmao #also idk how old anyone else actually is there might be teenagers here i just don't think about it a lot

[falled-over]

recently someone on tiktok said 'hey lets comment on random thirst traps and say 'you look just like a character from x movie!' (i forgot the name, the original one had one). like as a fun joke to invent a fake movie from the 80s.

i dont need to point out the obvious comparison here (it was far less organised because it was more about pranking people than pretending the movie was real), but it turned out to be a MARKETING STRATEGY for someones album.

#could not be a better illustrator of the marketing culture of today. LOL #everything is an ad and nothing is for fun #stole an idea. essentially tricked people into promoting it by commenting a weird word that someone would then look up and find the album #also tiktok skews younger than tumblr on the whole i think. so it was a little more teenage in its lore #im not saying goncharov was more than it was but it was fun how everyone was able to invent something that seemed plausible #oh the album is meant to be '80s horror movie themed' which might mean something but it doesnt to me #'its such a unique marketing idea! it should be rewarded!' ..........................ok... i think tricking people into giving u money and #fame is gross. but that might just be me #it worked btw.

fucking hate the people who go into the replies of posts that say "hey, maybe don't hate literal children for simply existing," and go "Uhm! 🤓 Actually, 🤪 I am correct for hating on and beefing with literal babies as they are loud and annoying," as if you, yourself, aren't loud and annoying.

#like. okay. im biased i will admit that. i have kid siblings who are loud and annoying #but its like. so were you? when you were younger? #the whole purpose of a child is to grow and to learn #to learn what's right and what's wrong and how to act appropriately in a society #but to do so. they need help - but they arent getting that help #parents prefer to have ipads parent the children they chose to have #kid friendly spaces are either destroyed or abandoned or unsafe to be in #due to a variety of issues #like crime cars crazy adults etc #even online they arent safe. websites i used to go on when i was a children #literally built for children are gone #apps come with paywalls or in app purchases #cable is gone - which is like good sure except for the fact that all the television channels for children are all gone #there are really no good shows for children that are free anymore #there is no really safe online spaces for kids anymore. even when they try to stick to fandoms associated with children media like bluey #or trolls or mlp its dominated with adults who the space unsafe for them #yes it is annoying when children go into adult spaces and are loud and annoying. adults should have those spaces #and we do! #but have SOME sympathy please #children are growing up in a world that is not designed to keep them safe. happy or fulfilled. #they. like us. did not ask to be here - they had no choice in the matter #and im not saying you should love children. no thats not it #what im trying to say is to just. learn some patience and some empathy #and to not beef with LITERAL BABIES #idk if his is coherent im bareky awake as it is but god. god i had to get this out #also im not saying that adults cant be in fandoms meant for children. thats not it at all. im in the mlp and trolls fandom #but what im saying is you cant go into a daycare and get mad that babies are there. thats where theyre meant to be #strawberry speaks

You: yeah itwall!dream and itwall!phil have more of a grecian mentorship sort of

My brain, immediately: so they have fucked at some point

Sorry orz

i know what i said ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#no need to apologize i 100% did that on purpose #i think the correct word is pederasty but usually the younger man is like. a teenager. rather than a young adult #so i didn't say that in the post although i probably could've #y'all know what i meant #asks #affections

[inundatae]

also i suppose i should be clear on my stance on shipping even if i touch on it in my rules. and i would very much love it if people respect that, but also yanno, i'm guilty of enjoying romance and dislike this trend in the rpc where people who enjoy shipping are considered less.

that said, as i tend to view neuvillette physically as somewhere closer to his late thirties to forties, pairing him with characters who appear considerably younger does make me highly uncomfortable. i know there's this whole discussion within the community regarding this very topic about what's acceptable and what's not, but now you have my stance.

#❛ㅤ⚜ㅤㅤㅤ✦ㅤ:ㅤfrom the depthsㅤㅤ◟ㅤoocㅤ◝ #and when i say considerably younger i mean characters who look like they're meant to be in their early twenties #things get so muddled when it's so hard to discern what a character's actual age is meant to be #literally before picking up genshin i thought zhongli was another 16 year old anime character LMAO

"Waaaah I can't ship samewada because wada looks so child-coded and samekichi is too tall he looks like an adult" Yall have clearly never read the wikia's information that literally explicitly revealed their ages (they are ADULTS) and it shows. Yall have also never clearly obviously went outside and touched grass more because height difference couples exist irl. Yall have clearly never went outside and touched even more grass because petite short adult woman exists irl. Go outside and touch grass

#delete later #“the fact that they have a child together too!” yeah no fucking shit HEIGHT DIFFERENCE COUPLES HAVE KIDS ALL THE TIME #WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO SURPRISED IMFAO #i swear to mf god the younger gen have such poor reading comprehension. and why TF are you even playing watgbs and other dsp stuff #at a young age when the content is CLEARLY not meant for your sensitive snowflake ass #Pretty sure theres content warning plastered on all of dsp games stating theyre for MATURE older audiences only #never thought i would see ppl bitching and complaining about samewada in the year of 2024 but here we are. #yall are so insufferable and boring asf to hang out and be friends with #and saying height diff couples = p*dophilia when it fucking isnt

Shout out to baby me who never thought anyone on the internet in fandom spaces could do something bad and that pr*ship just meant 'professional shipper' and not something awful

#somewhere along the first year i joined tumblr i came across the term and thought 'well pro usually means something good like pros and cons' #highly unaware that it meant someone who was. into some pretty awful shit #i'd say i was 'fond of all ships' unaware that that made room for people to interpret me as that kind of person #i even once reblogged a 3k post about a baby minotaur iirc #since in my younger brain popular post = Morally Correct [when that couldn't be more far away from the truth] #weird time to bring this up but. well i've been wanting to make a post about this for a while but i didn't want to be misinterpreted #also i was super embarrassed since it feels like something that should be common knowledge to anyone else #but stuff like that went right over my young autistic brain who thought that no one on the internet would lie or be weird ever #🗨🐸
