#like two or three years older

[broflovski-brah]

i’m finally being confirmed in a month-after two fucking years lol

i feel really bad though because my brother is having it the same day, and i hate that i haven’t been able to get it until now (for context, when i was actually of age, i got like-hella sick with covid and obviously couldn’t go since this was back in 2022, and the second time we couldn’t find a church, whatever whatever) but like…i feel really awful that we’re having it on the same day because my brother deserves to have his own day, y’know?

i know it technically isn’t my fault since i got sick the first time and the second time there was nowhere that was willing to do it, but like…ugh. i just feel bad

#skipper speaks #i also just #feel awkward since i’m so much older than the people being confirmed #well not SO much older #like two or three years older #but still #idk i just feel bad about the whole thing #queue

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

#crochet #knitting #needlepoint #sewing #embroidery #shoutout to the time it took me 4 years to make my dad a hat. and like 6 years to make a turtle for a teacher. #i picked up yarn spinning for ONE day in like 2017. i have not done it since. #there's a half finished elephant amigurumi sitting in a basket and i started that guy in like 2011 #i have two maybe three shawls i know of that are sitting unfinished in a storage bag #plenty of swatches of things that i start and lose interest in #currently i have a cardigan i wanted to make and started it and then got bored so i stopped #there's a hat i was knitting for my nanna that i started maybe 2 days before she passed #and that's sat unfinished i can't even look at it. i have no clue if i'll ever actually finish it. #there's at least one skirt i never finished sewing. and two skirts i have all the materials for but haven't started. #i know i have one beach cover up dress and one cover up skirt that i started in 2017 and didn't finish. #i think my oldest work in progress though dates back to when i was 9 or 10. i made a slipper. never finished the other foot. #that was in 2005 or 06. so literally i might have WIPs older than someone who is reading this. #and those are the just some of the ones i REMEMBER. buried in my yarn stash are probably others i've just forgotten.

I'm not super involved in the Nicktoons Unite fandom, but I have been combing through fics and I'm already tried of Danny being portrayed as the big brother/second smartest one instead of what he actually is: a fucking idiot.

#nicktoons unite #danny phantom #danny fenton #i mean this as affectionately as possible btw #if anything JIMMY should be the tired older brother who subsists off of coffee and no sleep #danny and timmy have adhd and probably three brain cells between the two of them #I'm not saying Danny is a dunce #he's passionate about flight and space travel! #but let's be honest — he's 14 in canon. those are passing interests #they're not. like. something he could tell you every single last detail about #source: i am also into aeronautics #second source: i grew up with dp and I'm tired of the dumbass erasure #danny has no thoughts and only has teenage angst when a ghost is manipulating him lol #i know we all want our favs to be cool #but danny is literally just the biggest dork in the world #he's not a gritty 20 year old with 5 o'clock shadow who needs to smoke just to feel something #everyone's entitled to their interpretations obvi but #i think dp fandom has become so far removed from canon at this point that they created a whole new character who just is not danny fenton #and i don't really enjoy it because I always liked danny for the character he HAS not the one i think he should have had instead #this became kind of a tangent and this is probably an unpopular opinion but yeah i just wanted to say my piece #i can't really interact with the dp fandom anymore because they're basically all fans of a made-up show at this point

[notedgyanymore]

Admittedly, I am not superman's biggest fan but still, I wish we got more interpretations of his character in dp x dc crossovers where he gets to be what he was meant to be, a beacon of hope.

I want more stories about Clark adopting a very cynical and burned out Danny and showing him that's still kindness in the world.

Fanfiction recommendations are very much appreciated 👍

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dp crossover #dc x dp #Also Danny as Jon's older brother would be so fun to see #you can even ship Danny with Damian #Cuz if I remember correctly he was like two to three years older than Jon in the supersons comic.

My sincere reaction after realizing ranboo is now 20:

#what the fuck😰...bro #I've been in this fandom for way to long #everytime a youtuber I like has their birthday and gets older.

Happy birthday ranboom We're all so proud of you (AND HERE'S TO MANY MORE OUR BELOVED/P/POS!!!!) #ranboo #ranboolive #ranboo birthday

Staring grimly into the "aren't we all glad the 5 year timeline no longer exists" abyss again.

"As of Catwoman #2 2011, Selina claimed to be 23 years old."

Selina. Twenty THREE. SELINA.

I just...

#I am so glad this has been retconned back to a normal age given everything #That would have made Selina approximately one year older than Dick #and two-three years older than they were trying to claim Jason was #Yes Bruce and Selina generally are shown to have an age gap but something like 28/29 and 23 happened back when Dick was a preteen! #'Selina and Barbara are close in age' is something that COULD be true but you're using some very pre-Crisis Babs age to accomplish it... #timeline shenanigans

Maybe this is my “I’m from New York so I didn’t choose to live here I was just already here” kicking in but can we actually learn to respect people’s privacy and acknowledge the fact that not everyone who lives in a major city is doing so because they want to be famous or the main character or an influencer or whatnot. I’m so sick of seeing tiktoks go viral that are just plainly stalking or doxxing random people who didn’t ask for attention or fame and are just living their lives. Especially given how many people in NYC are living with a wide variety of mental states, abilities, divergencies, and diversities treating them as a spectacle for your entertainment is deeply dehumanizing. Particularly in the past few years seeing so many content creators move here and gain their fame here it is becoming increasingly frustrating to feel like just existing in my home is not coherent with the burgeoning voyeurism culture that’s growing online. I, nor anyone who lives in a large city, should have to leave their homes every day worrying about the potential of being recorded and ridiculed online for just being a person.

People should be able to live their lives with the right to privacy. This isn’t to say that certain instances of internet activism shouldn’t have happened; for instance the Central Park bird watching incident (google it if you aren’t familiar but a woman was being racist towards a black man bird watching in central Park and his recording on the incident vindicated him). But instances like those are the exception and not the rule and many cases of publishing interpersonal conflicts/interactions is not from good faith activism or even from an activist point at all. Honestly what sparked this for me was that dumb tiktok that blew up of that girl looking for the person who kept writing “monke” on the whiteboard at her gym and the series of videos she made amassed more than 25 million views as she made a very public game out of trying to find the identity of this person. Some of her tactics included staking out at the gym waiting for this person or even asking the employees at the front desk who the person was. Maybe this person didn’t want to be a viral tiktok sensation and just wanted to write something goofy on the whiteboard at their local gym. Instead, this person has millions of strangers online seeking them out using unethical/invasive methods. All over someone who just wanted to write “monke.” Can we not just be a little silly in public without being at risk of it being the next internet sensation? If you live in a busy metropolitan area is it now your responsibility to make yourself as invisible as you can every time you step outside your front door? I genuinely leave for work each day wondering if I’ve maybe picked the wrong outfit, makeup, or maybe there’s an embarrassing stain or issue with my appearance that someone is going to see, record, and share online. I’ve even now seen TikTok’s of people recording through peoples windows commenting on how they’re living in their private lives now as well (the video in question is of a young woman recording a couple dancing through their apartment window). Even the guy who goes around “turning average people into models” initiates these videos by first taking non-consented photos of strangers on the street. Invasion is not flattery as much as people on the internet might like to think it is.

It is deeply unfair to ask human beings to live their lives in an unending panopticon. We should be able to go outside, make a joke, leave a silly note, have a bad day, an embarrassing moment, an emotional outburst, leave the curtains open with the knowledge that these moments belong to ourselves and are not suddenly (and without our consent) just become something for the masses to consume. Small spats that should remain small spats become global debates, a conventionally attractive or unattractive person becomes the internet’s object of desire or disgust. Let people exist. Let them have their dignity.

#I FUCKING HATE TIKTOK CULTURE #This is also hitting a bit close to home for me but I work at a museum and I constantly dress to hide my identity #because of how many cameras are pointed at me all day everyday #and in the year of two thousand and twenty three it’s pretty hard to be a person #so to ask people to be media ready all the time is just impractical and inhumane #we aren’t all public figures but we are now expected to be ready for that level of attention #even certain internet phenomena that came from a good faith place such as recording Karen’s as a way to combat a certain kind of a racism #was co opted by non black people to publicly shame and embarrass any older white woman they don’t like #now the entire concept of a Karen has lost its original meaning while still existing as an open threat to older women who don’t behave #as expected in public #and yes I have seen white teenage boys yelling at women calling them Karen’s for just asking them to stop being rowdy #which is anecdotal evidence so take with a grain of salt #but I am simply EXHAUSTED #apparently I need to live in the mountains if I want to live in peace #also I wrote this in like a 5 minute rage so feel free to DM me or comment if I got something wrong

none of this is computing in my brain 

how do none of these actors feel like the age that they are 

their age is always too young and too old at the same time 

like mark pakin is freaking 24 

whereas ford arun is only 20??? 

and then freaking jimmy turns 29 this year 

but fourth and gemini are only 18????????? 

and drake is 22??? which feels WAY too young?? 

and prom is 19, which might seem fine, but id like to remind you that he was in bad buddy, which aired in 2021 and was probably filmed throughout 2020-2021, which means he wouldve been freAKING 16-17 ALL THROUGHOUT THE FILMING OF THAT AND HANGING OUT WITH FREAKING 20-YEAR-OLDS 

love had to play ohm’s sister who was younger by about a year, and yet she’s actually only two months younger than ohm 

MILK IS 26?? 

also yak’s actor was also in bad buddy, he played pran’s friend safe (which explains a lot, i kept wondering why i recognised yak, but i thought maybe he just had one of those faces. nope, turns out he was in bad buddy) and he’s mark’s age 

SEA TURNS 24 THIS YEAR. JIMMY AND SEA HAVE A FIVE YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE 

this entire thing is just mindblowing to me 

also satang has the same birthday as one of my friends (19 nov) and winny has the same birthday as another one of my friends (12 nov) and fourth and ford have the same birthday (18 oct), just two years apart! so that’s pretty interesting 

#people and aging and birthdays #my school president #my school president the series #bad buddy #bad buddy series #lmao i was looking through the lists i made to try and find more comparisons #and i was like 'oh hey someone from bad buddy shares a birthday with someone from vice versa' #and then i looked closer and realised they were both jimmy #by the way JIMMY IS FREAKING 28 HOW IS HE SO OLD #(compared to the rest of them i mean) #im not saying 28 is old #im just saying that there's about a 10 year age span between the oldest and youndest actors from these two shows #(not including side characters like kid patpran and junior and adult humans) #and yet most of the characters are around the same age-ish #at least in bad buddy the characters are only a year or two (maybe three) older than in msp #and yet jimmy is tEN YEARS OLDER THAN GEMINIFOURTH?? #anyway uh. yeah. now you know #mark pakin #ford arun #jimmy jitaraphol #geminifourth #drake sattabut #prom theepakon #love pattranite #milk pansa #lotte thakorn #sea tawinan #satang kittiphop #winny thanawin #fourth nattawat

new problem emerges: if gene was born very late into the year like november or december (which is canon being a sagittarius) and louise is born very early into the year like january or febuary that means technically.... they do not have a two year age gap. they'd spend the majority of the year being only one year apart in age (or around 14 months)

I think it'd be more accurate to say they're actually THREE years apart but still spend the majority of the year being two years apart. for the sake of calculations. or they'd be about 26 months apart. tina and gene would be roughly 30 months apart or 2 years six months :)

for calculation purposes I'm saying that gene was born november 28th 2013, tina was born may 16th 2011 and louise was born feburary 4th 2016 (for season 14/15)

gene and tina would be 2 years 6 months and 12 days apart in age

gene and louise would be 2 years, 2 months and 7 days apart

louise and tina would be 4 years, 8 months and 19 days apart

#this is unfortunately very relevant for a fic im writing lol #that two month period where gene is three years older than louise is something he holds over her HEAD #he's like HAH im 3 years older than you and she's like YOURE ALREADY OLDER THAN ME YOU'RE MY OLDER BROTHER???? #source: me and my own siblings age gap #txt #bob's burgers

I wish more people who don’t care to interpret very close relationships romantically (which is a completely fair opinion to have) would simply learn about this thing called friendship because…what???

#for one why is everyone so insistent on assigning Jamie substitute parental figures STOP #for two. friends exist. they can all be very close best friends like that’s a genuine option here. #for three. Keeley is only 7 yrs older than him and they have canonically fucked like….. #Roy is also only like 15 years older than him? their relationships are NOT parental in the slightest I'm so tired #royjamiekeeley #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers

Was flipping through one of my old notebooks and found this!

#I also found a comic script… maybe I’ll do something with it someday lololololol (we shall see) #shrimpshipping #Rex Raptor #Weevil Underwood #dinosaur ryuzaki #insector haga #This reminds me of my older posts. Back when I actually posted… and posted like everything I drew LOL. #These drawing are I think… two or three years old? Just so you know.

Looking back on my childhood...some things become much funnier and also much sadder in hindsight.

#when i was in school for a brief window before my parents decided to homeschool us #there were two girls about two years older than me who i retrospectively realize were trying quite hard to bully me #(and did in fact bully many other girls...so badly in fact that there was a lawsuit and several children were pulled from the school) #the one girl was the ringleader and would rile up the other girls in her class and her special pet henchman would help her #they used to say really awful things about and to me #i have one very vivid memory of the three of us playing all alone at a park and we were fighting over what was essentially a kiddie-zipline #we were all three taking turns but the ringleader and her pet henchman wanted it to themselves #so they started telling me to go away and play by myself #i knew they weren't allowed to tell me to go away and i didn't want to go away #so i just kept taking my turn #when they tried to jostle me away i jostled back (and i was a very sturdy five year old) #when that didn't work they tried to tell me that they didn't like me #and i told them very frankly that that was okay because i didn't like them either #then they tried to tell me that NO ONE liked me #and i listed off three other girls who did like me #so they told me those other little girls had told them that they were just pretending to like me #and i told them that no i was pretty sure netty and angie and kayla wouldn't say that-- #(the most hilarious things was that these girls had never met kayla to begin with--a fact i was quick to point out) #--and that they were just saying that so they could hog the playground to themselves #it went on and on like that until all three of us had to go home #and i was completely unfazed by the whole thing #i only realized when i was MUCH MUCH older how vicious they were trying to be #but i was used to fighting with my siblings and that's how you warded off that kind of attack #you had to be matter-of-fact and a little brazen and never let anyone jostle you off the playground! #(not being afraid to tattle-tale was another asset XD)

#11 years from now..... #crying bc it will be annoying this is otherwise nice bc you know they dont give islamic holidays off #also i totally thought it was like 30+ years but apparently #in 2065 chanukah christmas and ramadan all overlap so thatll be exciting to experience as an older lady #*takes drag of cigarette* in my day we once had two ramadans and three eids in the same year...

[loving-jack-kelly]

it's so bizarre supervising student staff when I was student staff literally five months ago. what do u mean I'm the one actually in charge now.

#i am at Most three years older than the people I am directly supervising #most of them only a year or two lol #and like. i actually think that's an advantage in this position bc I have a much more recent perspective on what student life in college is #but still. wild.

[elprupneerg]

You know, you’d think tumblr staff would be too busy with the literal hundreds of spam bots I reported yesterday (and the other hundred a few days before that, and the other couple hundred last week, and the literal thousands I haven’t had the time/spoons to go through and report) to ban random trans people or censor screenshots of tweets about trans rights. And Yet guess which blogs are still up posting stolen pictures of random peoples breasts and genitals and which blogs are just straight up gone

#like. I literally spent an executive function spiral just going through random tags until I found a spam bot #and then reporting every bit that likes the post #there’s so fucking many y’all #every single one of their posts that’s been up for more than a day has exactly 120 notes #and they’re all likes from other spam bots #the older ones have names made up of two random words #but over the course of the month they’ve gone to three words and then four #I think I’ve seen a couple with numbers at the end #they’re all hyphenated together like this: random-cream-very-fridge #just completely random words #and a lot of them use the same pictures as each other #like there’s one pic of a person in a dress with both their genitals and their chest exposed #so all the bots have posts that zoom in on either the upper or lower part of the picture #(or they’re from the same photo shoot? it’s the same dress and background in both pics) #but like. youd think staff would be too busy banning the literal goddam genitals getting plastered here #(which like. say what you will about the censorship but it IS against TOS) #but instead they’re censoring pictures of women going ‘wow this is what I looked like last year. I love gender transition!’ #and it’s just pictures of peoples faces #staff. y’all REALLY aren’t beating the transphobia allegations here

[caramelmochacrow]

thinking abt 3 of my friends from. like. 3 years ago??? (idk anymore) and how they reacted so calmly to me coming out as trans when i was half unsure abt myself. like, !?!?!?!? WHAT. i literally told them i wanted to be a guy and they were chill abt it. like, so chill.

i wish i remembered that before i did some crazy mind gymnastics to make me think i wasnt. but eh im alright w it now.

#crow talks #this memory resurfaced just now and it so so shocking that they were chill. #one of them has an older brother who's friends w my gay cousin was (last i heard) trying to be more androgynous w his style!! which is sick #good for his brother. the other two were twins and liked tf2 so i think they were alright w gay people idk. #shit got weird between the four of us tho. people started saying that one of them liked me which we didn't mind at first but then it got ba #near the end of the year we just stopped talking to each other. kinda closed myself off from everyone in my class after that. #the three of them still hung out but i pretty much was cut off bc of the stuff my classmates said. they sort of just waved or greeted me. #i miss them a lot..... idk how they've been doing. hope theyre alright. #sorry for the ramble abt my friends lol
