that one anon’s ask was weird af, but to be fair 2004 is definitely ipad baby era. as someone born in 97 who also didnt have a smartphone until 2016 when i was 19, MOST people in 2014 (even 10 year olds) already had at least an iphone

youre so wrong😭 in 2014 my parents gave me an LG slide phone with a keypad so i could call home just in case. the ipad came out in 2010 and for some reason in your brain so did i

#youre literally only 7 years older than me

me stoically navigating my way through drama bc bigger things are ahead and it’s not my fault people are dumb

#kissed a guy at a kickback and thought we caught a vibe only to find out he just wants to fuck me. next #friend’s bf of 7 years drunkenly hit on me at the same kickback (I was not ok w this). they ended up beefing over me. he denied everything. #do I want to be involved in this? no. and so I simply ignore it and keep it pushing #and the guy I kissed is cancelled. like he is dead to me. so that’s also taken care of #it’s back to studying full-time for the mcat #going to the gym/taking walks daily #volunteering at the refugee center + clinic #getting published in orgo research papers #and trying to snag the opportunity to shadow doctors at a massive cancer research center. like I’d kill for it #december was such a mess but I’ve finally made peace w the fact that most of the stuff that happened I couldn’t prevent #but I’ve mourned it enough !! whatever drama comes out of it I’ll handle just fine #i literally want to be a multitasking academic weapon everyone is intimidated of this year #i am not letting something as puny as a dumb man (both of them btw) stop me. goodbye #also everyone involved is older than me (they’re both 23) but it all just feels like such high school behavior #this is not a euphoria episode like I’m literally just not entertaining any of this #had to get this off my chest. i feel better #p

officially proposing a new group called the ravenclaw radicals: pandora, xeno, kingsley, and dorcas

#they’re like 3-7 years older than the marauders #i’m only half kidding #have to save pandora and dorcas from this slytherin skittles nonsense #they would not be friends with death eaters you all are killing me

what do you MEAN Warthrop is only 34

no wonder he acts so damn childish sometimes hes practically a baby

#HES SO YOUNG????? #i swear to god when i picked that book up in middle school i thought he was in his mid-late forties #HES ONLY LIKE 7 YEARS OLDER THAN ME #the monstrumologist #oh im gonna rail him so hard. i was already willing to fuck that old man to pieces and now i find hes not even old

[designernishiki]

sometimes it hits me that like. there is a pretty valid reason calling kiryu a granddad despite that being literally true feels Weird to me. and that’s the fact that. oh yeah. haruka has a baby at fuckin 19-20 years old. meaning kiryu is a granddad before he’s even 50.

#like that’s. pretty fucking young #she’s basically barely an adult so like no fucking wonder it feels like shit accelerated REAL fast when it comes to her growing up #like shit bro she’s only four years older than ME. and at this point she’d have a 7(?) year old???? holy shit #don’t get me wrong I know it’s not impossible or anything it’s just. yeah no fucking wonder people always refer to him like he’s way older #than he really is. he’s only 48 in y6. #maybe im a little biased cause my parents had me at 33 but. I mean stats don’t lie I’m pretty sure the average age of motherhood in japan is #like between 29-31 #hoo boy… #rambling #y6

not sorry but i do not buy the fact that fancy mice live to a maximum of three years but wild mice live to be at least five. especially when there have been fancy mice that have reached 6years. the oldest pet mouse was almost ten years old.

the short lifespan of fancy mice just tells me that improper care is normalized to such a degree that your mouse dying 2-4 years before theyre supposed to is considered standard. that expecting them to live longer than that is unrealistic.

#it's exactly like people saying fish only live to be two years old max. meanwhile i have tetras who have been with me durong my worst #phases of depression. have gone months without being fed or having any water flow at all. #the last remaining tetra is almost 7 years old... just in my care. this doesnt even consider how long she was at the nursery. #Way older than the 2-3 lifespan you find on google. #and again. this was with THE MOST IMPROPER CARE AND AWFUL NEGLECT THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT. #imagine how long theyd live if i hadnt neglected them at all #it just goes to show the average lifespan of undervalued animals like fish and rodents is not a cemented fact #it's the averages of every abusive child who slammed their hamster against the wall. the averages of every mouse in a petstore dying from #the pine shavings and crowded conditions #it's the averages of breeders who value a buck over a life. #the averages from the billions of mice killed in animal testing. #i think of great danes who are regularly put down at 6yo bc their owners didnt care for them properly knowing yhat they can live to be 12+

i adore thinking about the fucked up tpn stuff that was either not considered during the writing process or deliberately left unexplored.

tpn really said 'each house has about 6 shipments and receives about 6 new children to replace them each year. the minimum age a child can be shipped out is 6. tpn begins with conny's shipment in october, after which dominic is the only remaining 6 year-old at the house' without even considering the implications of that. how about 'we know literally nothing about anyone from the age group between anna+nat's and thoma+lanni's groups because theyre all gone by the time the story starts' also literally no one ever brings them up. or my personal favorite of 'isabella painstakingly hand-made little bunny for conny's 6th birthday. conny turned 6 in september, about a month before she was shipped out' like do you think isabella was at least a little pissed about that. i like to think she was

#skye's ramblings #its totally my love of unexplored side characters but. i do get a little unwell over dominic sometimes #like. hello??? its like a well-established thing that kids in the same age group usually have closer bonds w eachother than others #youare telling me. he watched all 5 of what were probably his closest friends leave in the span of a year. this is what you are telling me #i mean maybe yvette could be considered part of his age group since they were technically born the same year?? #but her birthday is also literally new years eve n shes usually grouped in w the 5 year-olds as a result #also the shipment record in the anime says that hao and sadie were 6 but the 2 kids that left before them were 7 #so maybe dominics age group was just particularly small but. he still watched them all leave in a very short amount of time #canot imagine how his conversation w don and gilda abt the escape went. god this series can fit so much childhood trauma in it #also w how close thoma and lanni are dominic and conny were also probably really close due to being the only ones left of their group #thinking abt don n dominic bonding amd sharing happy memories of conny. ijust live for older/younger gracefield kid interactions #also shamelessly stealing rachels hc of ray using his photograpic memory to share happy memories of everyone who died at gracefield #ithink dominic would really like hearing abt his friends from ray. especially happy/funny stuff he was too young to remember #and also literally any interaction w ray n the younger kids is everything to me. oh hes healing hes a good big brother... dont talk to me #'this is all most likely just a plothole' well where you see a plothole i see a GOLDMINE OF TRAUMA AND CHARACTER DYNAMIC EXPLORATION. anywa

that post about asoiaf artwork and dark skin makes me think about those ar/ya stans on here that threw a bitch fit in the last few days over some artists drawing her with 'darker' skin while drawing Sansa with lighter skin. so they accused the artists of racism while simultaneously implying that ar/ya looks worse in the artwork as opposed to Sansa because the artist gave her darker skin......which is literally racist and colorist as shit? honestly can't imagine stanning a 10 year and being this weird and bitter on tumblr dot com but anyway

that is INSANE OMG i’m glad i missed that completely

It’s like yeah sure, i think when george was coming up with the “northern look” that northern “coloring” he was thinking of was more similar to the way that like, a lot of welsh people have dark hair and a sort of, olive-tan coloring to their skin (think catherine zeta jones or ioan gruffudd) that makes them look darker than your average brit but usually in a “maybe they’re spanish?” kind of way rather than a “that’s a person of color” kind of way.

but death of the author, first of all, and second of all, depending on what your baseline is, “darker” coloring can look way darker in my imagination than in yours! and that “northern” coloring is vague enough that like, there’s a lot of poc who see parts of themselves in northern culture and explore that, and the Joy Of Reading is that we all see these characters differently!! me going “the starks are indigenous it’s the law” has no actual consequences for the series, someone else’s reading experience, or the fandom at large!! you can literally just block and move on if you’re that dedicated to being a loser weirdo?!?

also it’s funny that her fandom, specifically, is a breeding ground for the worst, most blatantly bigoted takes in the fandom aksjd like people will be like “oh arya is better than the other girls” arya actually loves and supports other women in canon “arya is the prettiest actually” arya herself doesn’t care about being pretty in canon “arya is gonna be a princess in a pretty castle and marry a lord” arya in canon explicitly says she doesn’t want to do that tho “arya is my lily white fave” one of arya’s besties is dornish icon edric dayne be SILENT ON WHAT ARYA IS BC U JUST WANT HER TO BE EXACTLY WHAT SHE HATES.

#people will say that she’s gonna literally attempt to murder sansa when they reunite but somehow will be besties with d.ny #GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK #asks #fandom wank #anti asoiaf fandom #listen i love arya and sansa bc aesthetically they’re very similar to me and my sibling #older white passing femme golden child and younger brown skinned tomboy with a big mouth. #i see us and the way our relationship has changed over the years in them and dammit if i want to make arya visibly brown skinned i will!!! #and also my sibling would rather be a starving artist in some commie co op than get married EVER AKSKDJ #THATS WHAT I WANT FOR ARYA!!!!!!! I WANT HER TO BE THE GAY TRANSGENDER ANARCHIST SHE WAS BORN TO BE #meanwhile me and sansa need ac and access to a hot shower and a cinnamon roll 24/7 or we will literally die. #if u have a problem with arya being drawn with darker skin u r joffrey. he literally bitches about dornish people having brown skin. #congrats arya would not only hate you she’d whoop your ass with needle too

This is not selfship related...

Basically, there's a guy at work that I am head over heels for. He's so sweet and kind and I have had a thing for him since my temp days. This song immediately makes me think of him and sometimes I think he's interested because we both have moments where we make eye contact and look away instantly and we both tend to hang out in areas we're both in if we can swing it...

I shouldn't be in love but I am... He just makes me smile by being there. I just want him to be happy.

#ama's ramblings; screaming into nothingness #I'm stupidly in love with him that I can't bring myself to be interested in or date anyone else because I can only think of him... #He's easily maybe 7-10 years older than me but I think he's perfect~ #Spotify

trying to figure out how old people are in university is literally the most frustrating thing. cause there's this guy in my history class that I'm literally preventing myself from having a crush on simply because I don't know how old he is

#like there is a very real possibility he's 5+ years older than me #which isnt HUGE i know #but the difference between 21 and 26/7 is insane #especially from his perspective #so i'm trying literally every class to figure out fucking old this guy is and i can't get any further than finding his friend's age #and that he went to college before this #like only in university can you be in your last year and still feel young as fuck

He’s so. I’m so. I’m feeling something about this gay little man and I don’t know what it is

#I’m spending a day and night in another state w my fwb for his bday and I’m like #just the two of us celebrating ur bday? seems somewhat homosexual no? #and he’s driven all the way to my area in a mf rental and booked us a hotel room before too and I’m like what are we #like we go out and do cute lil things and it’s as friends but it has date vibes #and we’re affectionate n such and he talks abt me differently than he does w other ppl but like #he was like ‘I love how uncomplicated things are with u since I’m not catching feelings’ #ok why aren’t u tho. be obsessed w me #we would not be compatible at all he is 7 years older and a fancy proper gay with a fancy job and lives 1.5 hours away #he even pointed out how funny we probably looked holding hands in the city today bc we look so different #but I’m like hey. hey. make it complicated and dramatic. cross state lines for me every 1-2 weeks #ik the only reason I feel this way is bc he’s pretty and good in bed and c*ddled me but come on #writes this while I sit behind him on the train back from another city we adventured in today #as I also text him obscene things abt what we’re going to do when we get back #mine #txt #personal

underappreciated terrifying thing about being in your mid twenties is that sometimes you will look at your reflection in the mirror one day and suddenly see your mother

#i always took after my dad a lot more in terms of appearance but there's suddenly just like. i don't know. something in my face that #freakishly reminds me of my mum the way my appearance never used to. and it's just weird!! #i guess it makes sense though because she was only like 7 years older than i am now when i was born

the terror of being the youngest sibling..I’m gonna be all alone one day without the two people I’ve known since birth and I cannot cope

#me and my brother are only 3 years apart but he’s a marine..and my sisters 7 years older than #I don’t wanna be old without them :(

bigass vent over general life things

things in general are really not great i don't really have any optimism for the future or making a life for myself. like i don't really have any drive or ambition to look forward or work towards anything good/meaningful because as time goes on there are going to be really bad life events that i just don't think i can keep facing anymore. and theyre going to be worse. i'm just dragging along life solely on the basis that i was plopped here to just Exist and that's my task at hand that i'm reluctantly upholding. just exist until it's over

#when i say 'i'm 25' 'i'm going to be 26' it does not feel right coming out of my mouth. i do not feel just 25 or 26 i feel far far older #mentally and physically #when i'm around other people my age i just feel on a completely different plane of experience from everyone else #idk. i've always been a naturally anxious and socially stunted person & def have some kind of lingering trauma that keeps me from connectin #w people. but also having no family members or relatives anywhere near my age (~17 yrs older than me at the least) while i was growning up #probably did something to me as well. my entire life has just been witnessing family members decline and die like dominoes over the course #of 25 years. like i know all about end of life care and legal paperwork and shit like that. i know what grief is like and #seeing how it affects people. i know the stages of dread and worry and numbness & guilt-ridden relief that comes with being terrified 24/7 #for an ailing family member over the course of years. knowing what it's like to grieve people who arent dead yet but you know it's coming #and then when the inevitable happens it's horrible. but also you're so exhausted from the strain that you're mostly numb. and then you feel #a sense of relief that the worst is over they're not suffering anymore you don't have to dread it anymore. which obviously makes you #question if you're some kind of deranged asshole for feeling that way. idk #25 for me has been a very eye-opening age where i'm fully realizing how fast time passes. i thought i was at around 18-20 but i was really #just first becoming aware of it. #i know how to view the world from that lens bc that's all i know. i only see life as a preparation for the end #instead of a beginning. or at least see it as a beginning at this current point in my life #covid/lockdown has definitely been a source of mental drain on me as well. the constant fear and paranoia of getting sick AND what sort of #long term consequences i could have due to getting it twice. and what i could have if i get it more than twice #add that with the general social and political climate right now and it's just...so very bleak. home life is bleak & outside world is bleak #vent
