#the obvious older age

[laoih]

I can't even put into words how disappointing and frustrating the vision of Amazon's Middle-earth show is.

This is your vision for Celebrimbor, seriously?

This is the grandson of the Elf who "was made the mightiest in all parts of body and mind, in valour, in endurance, in beauty, in understanding, in skill, in strength and in subtlety alike"?

This is one of the Quendi, "a race high and beautiful, the older Children of the world, and among them the Eldar were as kings, who now are gone: the People of the Great Journey, the People of the Stars"?

This is not to slight Charles Edwards. He's a friendly looking guy and I'm sure he's a decent actor, but in my subjective opinion simply the wrong choice for Celebrimbor.

#LOTR ROP #LOTR on prime #lotrrop #the rings of power #Celebrimbor #or rather: not Celebrimbor #Amazon's fanfiction #he would have been a decent Denethor or Ar-Pharazôn #but Celebrimbor? #nope #nowhere #jfc how wrong can they make these character designs? #Elrond and Gil-galad and Finrod were already a huge letdown #but this is even worse #I hate it because I wanted to love the show #but it doesn't work like this! #Yes – Tolkien's Elves are ageless and more beautiful than humans #if you can't accept that fact maybe you shouldn't make a series with Elves in it #the short hair #the obvious older age #he looks so human and so unelvish I want to cry #lotr rop critical

That people don't get that the alien chose the form of a little kid, a little black girl, mind, as the thing the doctor would be the most likely to protect because the doctor is broken up and horrified that once upon a time Tecteun found a little black girl and did horrifying things to her instead of loving and/or saving her is one hell of a thing.

That thing in flux where 13 proclaims that she'll never get to know what her life could have been if not for Tecteun and she is horrified and distraught, it's clear as day on her face. That's what's at the root of her horror. The realisation of all abuse victims that you will Never get to find out what you'd be if it had never happened. Grief.

She apologised to the creature for what the master did to it and she wasn't even guilty! All she did was save her! That's so brutally Wrenching.

The story is about the cycle of abuse. 13 basically died breaking the cycle of abuse. Literally I see people complaining that thirteen didn't react to the timeless child information at all like the whole of Flux isn't her almost ruining her relationship with Yaz bc she's obsessed with it, like the universe didn't almost die bc she got too distracted to notice it imploding. Like in the end, the thing she is most hardwired to Save isn't a little girl just like the one she once was.

This is YA the TV show, come on.

#dw shit #like sorry but none of this is complicated #like some deep meta moments get complex but the basic plot is not hard in the slightest #it's age appropriate obvious #with the ability to look further in if you're an older viewer #which is the idea with all of nu!who #i mean #the abuse plot is an imprialism take down on a civilisation level when examined more deeply. but the girl thing is so obvious all you need #to do is look at the screen at both girls.

How do you think the people who have been, since 2005, desperately digging for scraps of chemistry between Robin and any conventionally attractive, young, and marginally emo boy in the series like Law and Zoro so they can ship them together, feel knowing that in the year of our lord 2024 she has canonically only ever expressed DIRECT and EXPLICIT romantic interest in one man and that man is him

#theyve been blinding themselves to the fact that Robin only likes big blue beautiful men who are Actually in her age range since Enies Lobby #Like yes theres plenty of older (not ‘old’ shes 30) women who would prefer to date younger but Robin very clearly isn’t one of them #…made obvious by the fact that the she said she finds Jinbei irresistibly handsome and constantly compliments his maturity #As she should!!! #one piece #robin x jinbe #nico robin #first son of the sea jinbe #jinbe #my post

Karna is like ~10 years older than duryodhana which makes duryo getting the ojisan treatment really really funny

#my post #dermatologists hate him! local man doesn’t age #karna #duryodhana #fgo #one of these men is older and it isn’t the obvious one

Can't decide whether I prefer Neuvillette looking like an old man (white hair + grandpa demeanour + dad vibes for all the melusine) or if I like him looking like a pretty, youthful model (super young by dragon years + in game model baby-face + actually very inexperienced in human conduct = immature?)

All the fanart I see kind of just picks one but idkkkk,,, I sort of enjoy the idea that he's kinda young looking but talks and acts very very old because, you know, in human terms he is very old. And everyone in Fontaine is used to it cos they all know he's not human and appearance ≠ reality. But people usually see him from pretty far away in the Opera house, so they can only see the white hair and hear his old man voice. So when he rarely does show up in person the public has a jumpscare of "oh not literally a grandpa huh uh oh".

And he definitely doesn't look like teenage or twenties, even youthful Neuvillette has gotta be like late thirties earliest. Mature but not actually as old as anyone would expect.

#neuvillette #genshin impact #i hc Zhongli looks older than Neuvillette btw #like i think Zhongli would pick a more middle aged form #idk if Neuvillette picked his form?? dragon power level is wacky #Furina has like an unnerving babyface in my hc btw #like she wanted to look good and also young and she over corrected #like Neuvillette looks effortlessly divine cos of magical eminence or whatever #same for Raiden for example #and Furina could have had that but she thought too hard about ot #looked at too many magazines #can't capture the archon magic anymore #might as well list my other archon appearance hcs now #Nahida doesn't look human #ofc the ears but i think she has a green tint to her skin #and she doesn't look unhealthy and it isn't obvious #but you can tell it's not quite human #raiden could be mistaken as human just looks wise #but i think that she has this aura of energy that prickles you #she probably looks like early 30s #Venti copied his friend so he just looks the Most human #tiny bit of acne #teeth aren't quite straight #he looks late teens/early twenties

I will always defend Orrin with my life and I've elaborated on my love of his character many times, but I realize I've failed to point out a particularly foundational detail regarding all that. I suspect that it goes very unnoticed by most people (unsurprisingly since it's only subtly referenced once) that an important aspect of Orrin is how young he is. He's only a little older than the main cast; during the war he's only 23-24. Orrin goes through all that trauma without that much experience behind him and a great deal of uncertainty ahead of him. I think it really sheds a lot of light on his fear of losing everything he cares about to the Empire when considering how much of his life is left in front of him. He really does have so much to lose, and the weight of all the relentless, compounding grief that he wouldn't be accustomed to or prepared for could so easily break him into despair.

#nasuadas 18 and states that hes 5 years older than her #eragon #inheritance cycle #orrin #his life was already not fully settled and stable when it was then uprooted and torn apart #he didnt get that luxury any more than the other main characters #the tragically impossible task of figuring things out as they actively fall apart #ive just never bothered to mention his age bc its very obvious to me and i need to remind myself #that most people dont comb through every mention of this unpopular side character like a lunatic hdasfkdfdsjk #but someones gotta do it o7 #orrin my beloved

Anakin truly set out the goal to marry Padmé as soon as he first laid his eyes on her. He didn't even interact with her that much to come to the conclusion that he wanted to wed her. As soon as they met again 10 years later, he wasted no time and put a ring on that finger. They didn't even take at least a month; they went straight to marriage. Their romance is essentially a Disney fairytale 😅❤️

#anakin skywalker #padme amidala #star wars #pt #meta #sw meta #txt #my characters differ from them in many ways but they too got married just a week after meeting each other #it was love at first sight #anakin had love at first sight padme didn' for obvious reasons but she still developed a fondness for anakin #it wasn't until anakin was already an adult that she went “oh damn you are hot now” #mine originally met each other as children (of the same age) but i eventually decided to change it to when they were already in their 20's #he is 3 years older than her. i changed it to make it even more fairytale-ish #they are the only couple in my story that experienced love at first sight #the rest have a more “realistic” approach to romance and took their time until they decided to get married #but these two? oh yeah they got married even though they just met #i know elsa would reprimand my oc for marrying a man she just met but i'm sorry but he is fine af and would do anything for anybody #it's a fairytale it's not meant to be taken literally in many ways #it's not a realistic depiction of reality but it teaches you about reality it's meant to be a metaphor more than anything #i went off a tangent again but yes #anakin and padme's relationship is essentially a fairytale #star wars is a fairytale it contains a good chunk of the elements. it's just deeper more detailed and extensive but the core is the same #anyway ramble over

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?

Why is finding fashion for specifically teenagers that is appropriate so so difficult??? Like.. apparently you're either already a mature adult wearing skimpy clothes, or you're still an immature little child wearing kiddie clothes.

it's like there's no in-between?? this is ridiculous.

#ghostie mumbles #also there's nothing wrong with either choices. it depends entirely on what makes you feel comfortable and what you personally like. #but like.. I think we should uhh... stop both infantalizing teens and stop trying to make them age faster or appear older than they are #there's issues with both of those things. #I'm sorry to everyone who is still in their teens trying to find appropriate clothing. #also this is definitely specifically geared towards women because that's the most clear cut example of what I'm talking about. #for men this issue isn't as obvious but I don't doubt for a second that the issue is still there.

I wish I could draw so I could make a picture of Milky Rose guillotining Coco.

#otona precure #precure #otona precure spoilers #Coco sucks but worse of all he's so boring #there are many weird age gaps in this era of shoujo adjacent content but usually the love interest is at least somewhat compelling! #coco is just a blank state so girls can project whatever older guy they have a crush on onto him #but in the context of otona precure it's so obvious that he's so bland

my coworker just doesn’t understand she was like “why don’t you like women why are you only into trans guys, and you don’t like cis guys” THEYRE DIFFERENT. “wait so you like boobs but don’t like women” YES. “isn’t it easier to be a lesbian” IM NOT A WOMAN AND I DONT LIKE WOMEN. “would you be attracted to someone if the next day they decided to be a trans guy” YES “but thier body was the same yesterday” ITS DIFFERENT. TRUST ME. “but you also like male cock” YES. “but why aren’t you into trans women? they can have boobs and dicks” NO. THEYRE WOMEN

#she can never understand my beautiful mind #She also said it’s obvious im more attracted to freshly cracked younger trans guys #As opposed to guys my age or older who are pretty far long hrt #Like lol is it that obvious #It’s funny tho cuz both my boyfriends are older than me #By 3-5 years

Ok I’m just asking how do…. You feel about the ships of little nightmares 😰 I saw a video about mono and seven on TikTok …..

I see a lot of ship art for the Lady x Thin Man which is funny to me

But our main characters????? They're all kids! I'm uncomfortable if I see ships of them I mean, if they're aged up to adults, then okay, fine But the kid selves? No thank you, no thank you, no thankyou

#innocent ships where they are older? fine #like hey if you wanna do an aged up childhood friends to lovers i aint stopping you #romance isnt just for adults #but people making romance between children under like 14 is a big no no #makes me so uncomfortable for a lot of obvious reasons #theyre kids they just want to play and make friends- or in this case- survive #and a lot of shipping..... is not an innocent #it gets to P*do territory ..... irksome and disturbing #luckily ive avoided any truly nasty stuff #ive only ever seen aged up- innocent shipping thank goodness... #little nightmares #text post #ask #ive made an animation or a comic that people claim looks shippy #and i apologize- im apparently bad at keeping platonic and romantic concepts separated #because everyone has different boundaries or comforts #but just know that if any LN stuff ive made that seems shippy is supposed to be platonic #im just bad at writing clear or strict platonic friendships
