The funniest thing about Xianyun/Cloud Retainer is the fact she calls Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper "those two old fossils" when I am pretty sure they are like the same age as her

So I just did some math, and y’all got me fucked up. I’ve seen so much handwringing in this fandom about the age disparity between Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian’s body because “oh, lwj is soooooo much older than Mo Xuanyu, it ‘basically’ counts as a grooming that wwx was given such a young body and lwj is still attracted to him!”

It’s literally not true. Lan Wangji is around 33 at the start of the present-day plotline. Mo Xuanyu is 27. Y’all are so full of shit.

The math:

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are around the same age, give or take some months. They are 15/16 at the start of the Cloud Recesses arc, the discussion conference in Qishan happens less than two years later (16), the Wen indoctrination camp happens definitively when they are 17 (madam yu says so) a year later, then the Sunshot Campaign takes place 2 weeks after that with Lotus Pier’s fall. The war lasts for around a year or two, but wwx mentions he is 20 during the Phoenix Mountain hunt. This means he’s still 20 when he breaks the Wen remnants out of the labor camps 2 months later, and they abscond to the Burial Mounds. For Burial Mounds arc timeline, you have to go by A-Yuan/Lan Sizhui’s. A-Yuan is a teething toddler between one and two (jc deduces) in the Burial Mounds. He’s 15 at the start of the story 13 years later. The Burial Mounds settlement, therefore, lasts about a year. By the time of the siege, wwx should be 21 (again, give or take a few months). Thirteen years later, lwj is 33/34.

Mo Xuanyu, on the other hand, is given a definite age start. He is 14 when he is taken by Jin Guangshan back to Koi Tower. This happens after the siege but  before Nie Mingjue dies (Jin Guangyao mentions this in the chapt. 79 flashback during his argument with Nie Mingjue about Xue Yang), and Nie Mingjue dies a year after the first siege takes place. This would mean that Mo Xuanyu is 14 when the siege happens and, 13 years later, he would be 27 when he sacrifices his body to summon Wei Wuxian.

Mo Xuanyu is not some barely-legal young adult at the start of the story, and the age difference, besides, would be 7 years at most. The fact that this is regular discourse is embarrassing.

#human reads mdzs: take 2 #nevermind that this discourse is STUPID anyways #given that wwx is literally the same age as lwj #but whatever #y'all also need to stop treating ADULTS PUSHING 30 like they're still teenagers #that 'you're a child in your 20s but a senior citizen once you hit 30' shit ain't cute

Ooooh can the old bug grumpy eldtrich boyfriend can fly? Since y'know dude based of a mantis. Can he or can he not? 👀

no, he cannot fly. despite his mantis-like body, he does not have any wings. However, he does retain the ability to walk up walls and ceilings.

He’s about to ask where certain important reports are(his coworker forgot to make them)

How did you draw your dragonborn so pretty omfg? You've made me a fan of dragonborn now...

If you seek the ancient texts (the archive of this blog) you'll see that i've been a lizard-person connoisseur since...2012

here's some of the first art i ever did of my Oblivion PC - design clearly based off of the Skyrim argonians though

#its almost twelve years old AAUGH #ask #no art here #well old art but yk #dont actually go that far back in this blog i love my old highschool art but also no i dont #if you remember the shipyard you deserve a senior citizen discount

reaching that age where various healthcare providers (dentists, therapists, the nurse practitioner looking at my cooter because my gyno is out of the office) are younger than me and i'm not coping. how can i trust them with my wellbeing when none of them remember 9/11.

#i know it's not a big deal but also. are you even old enough to be here. #i always wonder about the senior citizens who come into the office and put their dental health in the hands of our 26 year old dentist #i would nawt let that man near my teeth if you paid me

[tintinology]

Tintin develops farsightedness at the age of 35 and categorically refuses to acknowledge it, instead claiming that he has always read the newspaper at arm's length and that he has no trouble seeing despite it becoming increasingly obvious that he's lying

Meanwhile Haddock, who by now is in his early fifties, still has 20/20 vision and mercilessly teases Tintin for getting old

#jokes on him because Tintin eventually gets glasses and hes like 'oh no thats kinda hot' #also i do like the idea of a haddock whos not self conscious about his age and instead acts like an annoying older sibling #like 'god you turned 35? you're practically a senior citizen now' and meanwhile hes a good 15 years older (but thats irrelevant) #*sighs* time to add this to my growing list of fic ideas to work on eventually #tintin #captain haddock #the adventures of tintin

I need to kidnap a neurosurgeon and hold them captive in my basement and force them to perform a surgery to remove the part of my brain that tells me my stupid little fanfiction isn't worth sharing with the world unless it's written with a level of skill, artistry, and depth that puts Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky to shame

#i wish i could bring the same energy of 'i dont think i can draw this... you know what that means. it'll just have to look bad!' to writing #the mortifying ordeal of being known etc etc #ive never posted any writing online ever apart from forum roleplays with my girlfriend when we were 15 lmao #ive been too anxious to like ever actively interact with fandom(tm) as a concept until now #but i kind of wanna post things #but i am also. afraid #at least the mass effect fandom isnt as scary as star trek. star trek is a senior citizen. mass effect can drive but it can't vote yet

hm luz definitely heard the collector’s ENTIRE tantrum in king’s tide from kikimora’s bubble. notably when he said he “taught [belos] magic stronger than anybody’s” and also showed him the draining spell. luz had no idea what the collector could do before that. her guilt at helping belos before king’s tide felt like it mostly came from showing him the light glyph and the general betrayal of looking up to phillip all season only to find out he’s an asshole and also belos.

but in season 3 luz knows that the collector was the reason belos could do the day of unity stuff in the first place. and because she helped him, she assigns herself all of that blame as well. and that knowledge in addition to stress from the day of unity was why she took a nosedive from impulsive and people-pleasing but still upbeat straight into crippling depression. and also disregarded eda’s “my life is great bc im friends with luz the human” speech from separate tides.

i wonder if luz told her friends anything that happened during her confrontation with belos before they arrived. she definitely didn’t tell amity willow and gus about the stuff collector said but i wonder if she told hunter about it, since he already knows about the collector thing. i doubt she did bc he didn’t have any reason to need to know and luz certainly doesn’t like to talk about it.

also im pretty sure luz never told her friends about the whole petrification thing? and the sigil thing. the petrification thing because again, i doubt she wants to think about it or worry her friends and there’s no need for the others to know. the thing with luz giving belos a sigil because for all she knows she just made him MORE angry. luz wasn’t there when kikimora told king belos couldn’t stop the draining spell. as far as luz knows belos COULD have stopped the spell but the sigil just made him panic long enough for king to find the collector to do it instead. add that one to the pile, i guess.

#anyway in conclusion hexsquad share your notes with each other challenge #luz noceda #toh #the owl house #emperor belos #the collector #phillip wittebane #i think the hexsquad thinks luz got dropped off at the head and belos immediately went beast mode and started slashing at her #oh also i dont think willow amity and gus knew about goop-los before kings tide either #they just thought belos was some guy and theyre getting ready to curbstomp a senior citizen #and then they get to the head and theres That #or maybe hunter briefed them on it on the airship #in 10 years the gang is hanging out and luz mentions offhand that she got petrified that one time #and everyone immediately freaks out bc WTF #its always fun in stories when the audience has all the information but the characters only have pieces #and here youd think its just that luz and hunter have most of the info about the collector #gus knows about the grimwalker thing #and willow and amity know jack shit #but then you think about it and hunter barely gets told anything that luz found out either #and even luz doesnt have the full information #the one who ACTUALLY knows everything in this show is kikimora and she uses it follow a cult #good for her #we support womens rights but more importantly we support womens wrongs

WOT is the umbrella event and WILL it make me invested in senior citizen romance?

YES YES IT WILL!!!! Out of the many compelling webbonso moments that exist, this is one of the most 🤯

I am referring to this:

#its funny bcs i wouldnt have said im *that* into webbonso #but my god do they have so many compelling moments that i cant help but get sucked into it every time i see a clip/pic #they are so very tactile #theres so many clips and pics of them touching each other and/or standing extremely close #this senior citizen romance is very compelling bcs we're all being edged by the fact theyve both been at every event so far #but we still have not seen them interact(on camera) #getting fed mere crumbs even tho thEYRE BOTH *RIGHT THERE* #and also its so long standing #like you can find pics of them together from as early as 2001(both at the benetton launch) #catie.asks.

i really want to start making a table collecting statistics on the audience demographics i'll perform my aubrey material for (like what generation most of the audience is, whether i'm performing in a predominantly queer space, etc.) and how well the jokes land bc like. i need to collect more data points before i can properly present my findings but the results so far have been fascinating

#again i do not have enough performance experiences to make any definitive claims about who ''aubery's audience'' is #but i find it funny that any time i show my aubrey material one-on-one to a queer gen z person #they're always like ''i love it but straight people will definitely hate it or not get it'' #and i get the inclination to be like. ''i like this thing so people like me will like this thing'' #and cishet society seems so polarized w/r/t queer topics it's like. the assumption makes sense #however. whenever i've done an aubrey performance in front of an audience that's predominantly queer and gen z #i've actually received a primarily negative response!! and somehow straight people have never given me shit for my aubrey material #(''well straight allys don't count'' i told some of my aubrey jokes to a joe rogan dudebro and he enjoyed them) #(which yeah maybe could be a mark against my comedy but i like to think i opened his mind a bit at the very least) #i really want to test my aubrey monologues in front of a primarily gen x/boomer audience #bc so far i only have actual performance experience in front of gen z or millennials #and the older people i've told jokes to individually or shown videos of my stuff have really liked it #luckily paul has said a goal for when i'm in town this summer is to get me to perform my aubrey stuff in as many different places as possib #for both queer audiences and non-queer audiences so i can gauge reactions since i don't want to be confined to one demographic #so i'll get a lot of data points this summer #@ paul get me a performing slot at senior citizen pride lmao these are my people #(shoutout to paul going ''jess stop collecting the old homos!'' last time i was in town) #(and when i imitated him and was like ''old gay men are not your pokemon!'' bellini was like ''ok but they may be your audience'') #also one data point i really want to see the variation on is how my one specific joke plays in these different demographics #bc i have a joke that like. it's literally not even about AIDS and doesn't punch down at all #i literally say ''if you're gay and over the age of 50 you could violate the geneva convention and i'd still be like support our troops'' #like obviously being like ''you have been through hell so i will let you get away with literal war crimes you deserve ultimate immunity'' #BUT. in the line right before the quote i use the phrase ''AIDS generation'' not as a derogatory term but being like. #this horrible thing impacted the entire generation y'know? and bellini and scott and their friends call themselves that it's just the term #but when i said the phrase ''AIDS generation'' in front of my gen z audience i heard gasps and felt like they all hated me #and when i did the same line in front of millennials it wasn't quite as striking but their eyes did widen #like i was suddenly an ''edgy comedian''. but like this is a part of our history and it does inform the story i'm telling #the story i'm telling is comedic but it's grounded in this real world context #and i'm like. @ the audience who was offended: when was the last time any of y'all spoke to a gay man over the age of 50 #bc bellini loves that section of the monologue and was offended that people would even take offense to that phrase

My advice is to always hang out with old people more

#els.txt #old people are cool!! you just gotta make the effort to find them #I’m p lucky Im an old person magnet #also my temple is like 90% senior citizens
