I've had a genuinely horrifying thought (re: the passage of time)

so we can all agree that recent romcoms have been missing a certain je ne sais quoi

and one of the reasons that the rom coms of my childhood (tysm nancy meyers) went so hard was the soundtrack right? lots of 70s music, emotional, soulful, evocative stuff, right?

the absolute shock of realising that if the timelines worked the same that the songs on offer are from the early-to-mid 2000s. bruh. I'm reeling.

#livia speaks #I'm not even that old #but I was listening to a 70s playlist #and the Natalie Cole song 'this will be (an everlasting love)'#was on the playlist #a certified banger #and a staple of the romcom genre #and realising that when it was the closing credits in the parent trap that it was the same distance as 2005/2006 is now?#wtaf #wtafffffff #I know this isn't a new notion but it's really floored me tn

I've never gone into the "for you" section of Tumblr mobile before because, like, if it's not from the people I already follow, I do not care, but I thought, why not, how bad can it be?

Let me demonstrate with the following playlet.

Me: *sees cute "dating Batman problems" post*

Me: I will like this to reblog later.

Me: *hits like button*

Me: *sees first tag*

Tag: batcest dni

Me: *scrambles to remember wtf "dni" means*

Me: *remembers*

Me: ...

Me: *unlikes post*

-Scene-

You know, every time I see posts about "antis", I'm always suspicious, because I've never had such an interaction on the internet, nor did I ever grow up with the assumption that people need to modify THEIR online experiences for MY comfort, but jesus fucking christ

I'm too old for this shit.

#tumblr problems #dni is such a stupid fucking thing #not even sorry #do not interact bitch you're in my house!#I've been here a lot longer than you have #and I'll be here a lot longer than you'll be #I'm not even that old #but I'm still a goddamn Fandom Old around here

When you decide to keep a journal to preserve the details of your memories because you know it's gonna get clinically a little worse every year and you were inspired to do so by the idea of chronicling your past lovers, you just have to have the perfect cover:

#I'm not even that old #my brain is just like this

i really don't understand why people who only read YA or people who only watch cartoons made for kids try to tell us that it's actually just as good and deep and thought-provoking as media made for adults like i do know it's because they know it's not and they feel inferior or whatever but it's very funny

#i haven't read a ya book in like...hmm idk four years i think and i bought the most generic wattpad-y book because i was depressed and i #literally seeked out a book that was like bad fanfic because i wanted to spend money on bad literature #and feel slightly better. and i actually did #and are there good ya books sure not everything that's written for a young(er) audience is bad obviously but i remember when i was a kid/a #teenager i was like wow. i will never want to read books written for adults i'll want to be reading this forever. and then I GREW UP #i'm not even that old #for the cartoons um well i like gravity falls i'm younger than mabel and dipper did you know that. but they were younger than me in my mind #when i was watching like on tv for the first time because i was soooo mature #i've rewatched all of violetta as an adult do you see me act like that's better than like the rest of tv #it's so funny with the ao3 femslash poll thing this is what inspired this. especially when we're talking about ships i just can't imagine a #ship in a kids show being better than a ship in not a kids show like sorry i just don't believe you #i was gonna say something else but i forgot. 😁#oh totally spies i watch one or two episodes every monday morning. pour vivre l'action il faut être à la mode #like it's literally fun but why do they always have to act like it's BETTER are you seven years old #and like i say: brf slt

I'm at the age now where if someone is 25, I think, wow, I remember when I was still a child. I resent it.

#I'm turning 34 on 16 September like #I'm not even that old #but 25 is baby

Me finding out the ages of the characters and remembering that I’m not the main target demographic:

If I make anything with these characters, they’ll be aged up by five or ten years with more college vibes

#cinntalks #i keep forgetting how 'old' i am #i'm not even that old #but there's the general vibes online that if you're over 20 your life is over to a degree

Don’t get old. I developpe’d a little too enthusiastically today and pulled a muscle. This never would have happened ten years ago. What a scam.

When I was a kid, I regularly lost reading privileges for "having an attitude" and "acting out".

It wasn't as simple as being told not to read during other activities- one of the first times it happened, I remember being six years old, watching my stepfather pull fistfuls of books off my bookshelf and throw them to the floor in a heaping mess while I cried and asked him to stop.

It was weird. Every other adult I knew described me as exceptionally well-behaved, but at home, it was the opposite, and it was blamed on "learning bad habits from that shit you're reading".

Because I couldn't read at home, I spent all my free time at school in the library, reading with my friends.

When I grew up and moved away, I realized that my family life was toxic and abusive, and the "attitudes" I was being punished for were standing up for myself, standing up for my younger siblings, and resisting actual, real-life psychological abuse. Because I'd learned from what I'd read that my family wasn't normal, not like my parents said it was, and in my stories, the heroes were the people who spoke out when it was hard to.

It is insane to me that there are students right now who can't access books. It is insane that books are being outlawed. It is perverse that we are stealing away an entire generation's ability to contextualize their lives, to learn about the world around them, to develop critical thinking skills and express themselves and feel connected to the world or escape from it, whatever and whenever and however they need.

That is not how you raise a compassionate, thoughtful, powerful society.

That's how you process cattle.

It's fucking disgusting.

#I know this is old news but Jesus #Every day I hear more about school book bans and I feels less real #Restriction of information is restriction of freedom #People need stories #Even bad stories #Even tragic or problematic ones #We need to set purity culture on fire I'm not kidding #Abuse mention #Abuse tw

hello, sexiest man alive committee? yes I'd love to nominate Lou Wilson and Brian Murphy for attempting to speed-write an actual in-universe 300-word essay in 5 minutes of real time as Fabian and Riz posing as Fabian with complete earnest and a 120 percent commitment. both this effort and the incredibly smooth hand-off in the middle of it was maybe the most attractive thing i've ever seen a man do

yes it's a dungeons and dragons show. don't put me on hold. hello

#actually in love with these men in this moment #also murph being the only one to ask if talking is helping or not while lou is writing. i MEAN -#not even a quarter through this episode but my day has already been improved by a million percent #dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #lou wilson #brian murphy #fabian seacaster #riz gukgak #endless list of teenage crushes #<- yes i'm unearthing the old comphet tag for this what about it
