#they’re going to look 30

[icepop680]

Why is everyone acting like anything over 30 is a death sentence.

Why does Anne Hathaway have to have had Botox to look the way she does.

She’s 39, she does not look like she did in the princess diaries because it’s been twenty years, and she is still gorgeous.

Like, I fucking love AH, and I think she’s absolutely amazing, but like, why are people acting like she doesn’t look like she’s in her 30’s because she does and she’s gorgeous like that.

Since when was turning 30/40 “getting old”?? They’re mid-adults, not crocodiles

#again #love Anne Hathaway #she looks her age and wears it beautifully #has anyone considered #that the “oh 30 y olds are so old is contributing towards the need/want for plastic surgery #30 year olds are young ass adults #they aren’t necessarily going to look young or old #they’re going to look 30 #anne hathaway #plastic surgery #toxic culture #30 years #princess diaries

Just remembered that Will sat on the icebox in the van for the 30 hr ride back to Hawkins

#byler #stranger things #that willelmike dynamic in the van after the monologue needs to be studied under a microscope #like why couldn’t we see the aftermath of his monologue??? #what happened?? #when will sat on the icebox did el and mike look confused?? #did they offer to leave room for him to sit there but he declined politely like no that’s okay… #followed by the next 30 hrs of awkward #I know the vibes were OFF #that’s the reason they only let us be confronted with them by the time they arrived in Hawkins #they needed to shift the mood to confusion about Hawkins’ state #bc they could not reveal what the vibes were like before that #no but the prospects of el hugging all of them after saving max #and it’s like emotional and they’re all so relieved she’s alive #but then shortly after that when they’re planning going back to Hawkins #she’s distant again #maybe it’s with everyone so they just brush it off as her needing time to process everything #but it’s still suspicious because… #why are things with her and mike still feeling very off #and then that’s when they’re getting into the van and then will just adds to the awkwardness even more by sitting on the icebox 😭 #I also noticed 2 pillows on the backseat so it’s likely that’s where byler slept in s4 during their shenanigans #so I’m guessing that where el and mike slept while Will slept on the floor 😭 #no but seriously they could not show any of that without giving it all away #the angst and heartbreak and confusion and regret would have been so loud 😅

I rly don’t see how ppl be 20+ shipping kids anymore tbh… like, it’s so rampant and I don’t see the appeal to it anymore being as tho I’m in my late 20’s.

#I’m grown….. it always baffles me to see it like man I don’t care I don’t find joy in it anymore since I’m not a teenager #I just look at them and think they’re like my fake son… daughter nephew niece whatever lol #give me the struggling and mentally fucked up 20+ year old give me those middle age bitches man if I’m going to like a ship now anyway #like i don’t care about the romance between kids man it sucks that this is such a huge thing in most fandom spaces #not that I participate in said spaces since ppl are annoying and embarrassing #also very nasty #sns is diff tho like that’s a whole other thing 🪽 #sns is just a classic it’s legendary it transcends space and time it it- #I’m so glad that jjk is full of adults tho lmfaoo #one of Gege’s only W’s… especially impressive for a shounen #i like jjk outside of the goiji pairings too like I just genuinely enjoy it despite how awful it is now lol #again #I do think that ppl need to learn how to become more comfortable with enjoying media outside of shipping tho #like there’s nothing wrong with it obviously but I’m talking more like how tons of ppl only get into a new series for the sole purpose #of shipping instead of engaging with said media and the story that it’s trying to tell… #this is why fanon and wild insane hc’s usually get out of control too to the point where those who might be interested in checking out #a series might be deterred because they don’t even know what the show is about because the only stuff that ppl see about the thing is ship #stuff and like discourse #and the behavior of the fans… #these ppl be 30+ arguing with teenagers man it’s crazy to me #I just think there needs to be a balance lol #like still go crazy. Have fun and all but you get it #but anyway. with all that being said! Goiji stays winning in my heart 🚶🏾‍♀️ #rambling

It’s so funny how anytime some stressful cliffhanger happens in the mcu, YouTube and Reddit theorists will have you feeling hopeful and excited and hyped for the next project, but Twitter and Tumblr fans will have you falling into a deep dark depression.

#yes I’m still talking about the Loki finale #and what of it #it’s just so crazy to see the complete opposite attitudes that different social media fans usually have #I look on here and on stan Twitter and it’s sad edits and goodbye messages and everyone crying #and that shit bums me out so hard 😭 #but then you go on a reddit leaks forum or one of those marvel theorist YouTube channels #and it’s like ‘that episode was so much fun!! so they’re def coming back and here’s a 30 minute video explaining how :)’ #we just… we are all so mentally ill here my guys #I’m gonna learn to avoid my fellow emotional weirdos in times like this <3 #loki series #loki finale #mcu #marvel #reddit #YouTube #Twitter #tumblr #fandom #loki fandom #loki spoilers

i dont get the ppl who hate 2nd person perspective. every time ive read a book in 2nd person or with 2nd person chapters, theyve fucking slapped

#the underneath and 30 names of night both come to mind #in the underneath its the book like. serving as a nature guide. its getting YOU into the world and yet while it’s calm. somethings wrong #they’re constantly warning you. dont go into the sabine. dont go near gar face’s path. do not look into that cotton mouth #it sucks you in to the book and then it stops to say ‘’watch out’’ #and in 30 names nadir uses ‘’you’’ in the narration to refer to his dead mother. the audience takes on her eyes

the thing that helps me sometimes wrt numbers brain is that the most popular fic isn’t actually gonna be the best fic, pretty much ever, bc the things people gravitate toward are the things that appeal to the largest number of people instead of the sort of weird offbeat passion projects i frequently throw myself at. the things that do numbers are bigger fandoms and popular ships and (often) watered down characterizations or popular tropes, none of which is what i really enjoy doing ninety percent of the time.

#what are my most popular fics you may well ask? #o/f/m/d by a long shot. #then a t/a/a/kitz fic from AGES ago when t:b was winding down #then a very fanon-compliant jason fic. #then a very fanon-compliant j/o/y/fire fic. #and i like all of these fics a reasonable amount. they’re fine. #BUT. #they aren’t the ones i go back and reread all the time. #those ones are the ones that are more personalized and particular to Me. #even in blaseball like. the most popular ones are the ones that comply with popular lore. #and if i were to go in and rework them it would be to make them Weirder and Less Palatable #bc then i would be more fond of the actual content of them #of course that’s not always true. im still baffled by the reception to the scorekeeper fic and various other weird projects #looks at margeese pointedly #but like. those are outliers in the broader spectrum of my works. #idk im just rambling #point is i tend to fall around 30-40 kudos regardless of fandom #and that’s in part bc 1) smaller fandoms 2) less popular ships 3) secondary or tertiary characters 4) in a weird plot #and it’s GREAT it’s so fun to do #okay I’m done that’s it #tam.exe

the most terrifying part of subnautica is when the world is loading in at a distance so it looks like there’s a giant creature just in front of you that’s way bigger than anything else in the game

#also when you’re looking for silver #and you go into a small cave area #but the game is taking too long to load so it only loads in the drooping stingers once you’d be in the middle of them #and now you’re stuck cause they’re essentially going through your body cause you swam there before they loaded #and now you’re fucking dead and have lost all 15 pieces of silver you collected #and you get so annoyed you’ve lost 30 minutes of progress cause instead of losing everything you might as well quit and start again #cause you basically end up in the same place as before #also tiger plants. fuck them

there’s being a teenage girl in your 20s then there’s whatever the fuck the babyface by sorry mom experience is

#i absolutely hate the phrase ‘teenage girl in your 20s’ idea it’s infantilising and will only stunt yr mental + emotional development #because if you keep doing that you’ll be 30 something saying shit like ‘i’m a 21 year old in my 30s’ which just sounds worse lol #and so on #and it’s not exactly a new phenomenon either bc women (mainly) will say they’re 21 with x amount of years extra experience #it’s just. idk. the obsession with perpetual yourh looks worse on people who are already young i guess #anyway back to babyface sorry mom. the album of all time; resonates with the ‘teenage girl in your 20s’ idea #(which for me has always been about being directionless and lost in life and feeling younger because you can see all your other 20-something #friends grow up and get jobs and finish their degrees n shit. and that makes you feel younger; almost teenager like) #(whereas i see a lot of people saying ‘teenage girl in my 20s’ as a way of almost bragging about being immature?? #like not knowing how to do things or speak on certain subjects #stuff like ‘when he talks to me about the economy but i’m #literally a teenage girl in my 20s’ LIKE DO YOU NOT HEAR YOURSELF?? #and of course i’m not shaming people for not knowing shit i mean look at me. i can’t drive i have no job and i dropped out of uni #but the REFUSAL to learn is astounding. like people think they can get away with being deliberately oblivious because they have #the self-proclaimed mentality of a teenage girl. and how do you think Actual Teenage Girls feel about people assigning their demographic as #being oblivious and vapid and lacking awareness #you know. traits that have historically been assigned to teenage girls that I Can Actively Remember trying to not associate with. #and my female peers were also arguing against as teenagers. #i dunno. in the words of tame impala it feels like we only go backwards) #long tags #kaycore #(fuck it. putting this in the sorry mom tag) #sorry mom band #babyface sorry mom

obviously not the core reason for it but i do think car culture and the general impatience and self centeredness it creates leads to aggression against protestors

#a lot of the drivers who are violent towards us aren’t even thinking about what we’re saying #they’re just pissed that traffic got slowed down for 10 minutes and want to drive into a crowd about it #car culture #urbanism #original post #drivers when they have to stop for 30 seconds to let people cross the road: this is a civil rights violation #thinking about some of the Interactions i’ve had with drivers over the past two and a half months #looking at the backlash to highway blocking #and going ‘yeah that tracks’

i hope u all think of me as the mutual who goes to bed early and never posts x

#almost went to bed at 6:30 last night but i decided to stick it out until 9 :) i was so tuckered out though!!! #if i can’t find anything to occupy my time i WILL go to sleep. my favorite activity it’s what i wake up looking forward to do and u know #what i’m tired of ppl saying they’re sleepy when they don’t really mean it they’re not sleepy like i am they couldn’t possibly know what it #is to be sleepy all the time and happy and cozy under covers. if u were truly sleepy then u wouldn’t be posting abt how you’re so sleepy you #would be Asleep which is why i never post. case closed

Someone asks “where is this money going and do we have any evidence of it” and suddenly they’re being negative y’all just wanna play at helping ppl without using common sense or listening to the people saying MONEY IS NOT MAKING IT IN! Like. Can we be serious for 5 fucking minutes

#I will say apparently creators clarified it’s not going to Palestine but Palestinian based charities so I’m gonna be looking into that #but ppl just using the filter and saying ‘use this or u support genocide 😍’ and don’t even know how the fuck the filter is helping #like I understand the desperation of wanting to do anything ANYTHING in the face of all this #but y’all A) are being dumb as fuck about it and KNOW it’ll come back to bite you if it turns out to be bullshit #and B) taking the opportunity to gloat 💀 thank you so much for using a filter and donating a few cents to a person who’s word ur taking at #face value. bc lemme remind you these people are calling anyone saying ‘can we get some proof ur doing what u say u are’ NEGATIVE #like if it’s going to charities and individuals who are being impacted and need help or can get some kind of help out to those being impacte #that’s PERFECT #but not only do we NOT know that y’all are using the fact that ur form of revolution is stupidity and half a prayer to feel morally superior #which is sick as fuck to do #anyways #idk if I already said this but I’m not fixing tags but apparently she has evidence that she’s being honest #-the creator of the original filter- #so duh I’ll look into that and see #BTW! there’s more than one filter. this is not a good thing to me sorry #well not that there’s more than one the fact that there’s so many #and if y’all can’t handle a question about one I know you’re not fact checking them all #and unfortunately ppl like to take advantage #and even if they’re not spreading it out across a bunch of filters with no evidence is the same as that person who had a list of shit to #boycott that reached the 30s when BDS already has shit out there #WHICH IS WHAT BOTHERS ME THE MOST #there ARE things you can do orginizations already out there literally saying ‘if ur x age in y financial situation you need to do Z’ #but y’all wanna be katniss everdeen so bad that it’s impossible to handle that ur not the main character or calling the shots #and as ‘noble’ as it is to feel that ur not doing enough sometimes u do all u need to do and u still have time to kill and that sucks. but #going overboard in ways that are only not productive but harmful is so much worse #whatever tho what do I know #at least it’s sweet that ppl WANT to do so much but it’s not always the thought that counts and shit

kazumaji nation, if the pairing were to be canonized in y8, how do you imagine it happening? either realistically or ideally. go

#PLEASE tell me your ideas #I will put mine in the tags in a moment #kazumaji #yakuza #yakuza 8 #rgg #goro majima #kazuma kiryu #also please don’t respond to this with just ‘it won’t happen’ or something man like. you can be Honest but I’d rather hear ideas that are #POSSIBLE- that doesn’t mean they absolutely 100% will happen or something. tldr: just have fun #personally I am somewhat hopeful for something vague yet There at the end associated with kiryu’s retirement/general fate #like realistically something like.. majima getting genuinely upset with him because of how tired he is of kiryu being away from him in such #a way that he never can totally be sure if he’s alive or dead or if he’s ever going to see him again- because let’s be real they are #IMPORTANT to one another and I think BOTH of them would be affected by all the death scares and the loneliness when they’re apart. they’ve #been odd but fundamental pillars in one another’s lives for like… 30 years? 35? #even if they’re apart I don’t think kiryu could deny at least for the past decade he could go to majima for help no matter the situation #and he would drop everything to help him #I don’t think majima is nearly as hopeful about having his feelings reciprocated or really about anyone truly loving him in General but #he sure as hell knows how far he’d go for kiryu regardless of that fact. why do you think he’s been single and not looking #at anyone else romantically for literally decades. #so yeah anyway point is. realistically I think that would come up very emotionally and would hopefully end in kiryu holding him real tight #and reassuring him that he’s not going anywhere. not again. not without him. he promises #something something wherever they go in the end they go together. that’s also the only way I can see majima actually being content to any #degree in retirement from such a high-risk life #that’s. one idea anyway. I have many ideas. but that one comes to mind as a realistic option cause it’s romantic but not overtly enough to #have to worry about censors particularly or anything like that. believe me though I’d much prefer if they finally got to fucking kiss after #35 god damn years. I think majima needs and deserves that. both of them do but especially majima because i really think he feels hopeless as #it stands right now both about his love for kiryu that he can’t seem to shake and about being lovable by anyone in general #he seriously seriously needs this. being all over the place and never settling may be fun but it really doesn’t help the emptiness inside #and the loneliness. and the self loathing. and purposelessness. and so on.

how writing chapter 30 is going:

how writing chapter 29 is going:

#ronance fic #ronance #it’s not going well guys #i have written two lines of dialogue #we are going to be here a while #chapter 30 is looking like a fucking rollercoaster guys #hey they’re gonna kiss in one of these chapters #probably #maybe #i might make ya suffer more

if the terminally online tiktok queers who think that lesbians can’t say “gay” are going to be the next generation of the queer community then i better count my days because if the millions of politicians and cops and people who want us dead don’t kill us first then the incessant hair splitting and identity policing of those tiny brained assholes will. and then the people who want us dead will kill us even more

#i am sick and fucking tired of tiktok queer teens i don’t want to be in the same lgbt community as them #they’re going to set back our progress like 30 years and i’m not looking forward to it #writing in my diary 📔

Do you think what Taylor said about women in their 30s in Ms Americana is kind of not true? Like I understand why she’d believe that, but now that she’s seen it didn’t apply to her at all, and there’s a number of female pop stars still killing it in their 30s/40s that we’ve perhaps moved on from that ageism? Now if only more artists could debut in their 30s/40s/any age, that would really banish ageism. And we’d see far less teen artists being exploited too.

No, I think it is still very true. In general, we as a society have a whole industry based around looking younger and hiding “imperfections” that’s targeted directly at women. A lot of female artists are where they are in their careers because of what they accomplished when they were younger, but aren’t where they were when they first started. Examples off the top of my head are JLO, Mariah, Christina and Madonna, and they are considered legends or icons, but there’s not much focus on their current work. I think it’s harder for a non-established middle-aged artist to break through in the industry, compared to a younger artist. Most of the reporting I see from the media is on newer artists that are younger. Age really shouldn’t be a factor in whether or not someone gets media coverage, it should only matter if they’re talented.

With social media and stan culture, I feel like the ageism and gender stuff has taken on a different form where women are pigeonholed into what they start out as. I’ve noticed that when artists try new pursuits outside of music, fans get really annoyed about it and are constantly asking them to return to making music. Another thing I’ve seen is people wondering if a female artist is going to retire to start/be with their family and the artist is usually like in their 30s because for some reason people feel like that is super “old.” People are speculating that Beyoncé is going to retire after she releases the last part of the Renaissance trilogy and she’s only 40, I haven’t seen anyone ask the same about her husband and he’s 52. Both have had extremely successful careers, but people are wondering about retirement for only one of them. It seems like people can’t imagine female artists balancing a career and a personal life, or balancing multiple ventures and I think that speaks to what Taylor was saying in the documentary about women having to change themselves, but making sure it’s somewhat familiar and doesn’t make the public uncomfortable.

#asks #anons #got something to say to you* #if you want to give yourself an identifing emoji anon feel free! #I think the retiring shit that female artists face at 30 is ridiculous like there are male fronted bands from the 80s still touring #and nobody questions when they are going to stop making music and retire #I also don’t see a lot of people questioning whether or not make artists like Ed if they’re going to retire because they have a family #I think Serena Williams’ recent quote about how she wouldn’t even be having a conversation on retiring if she were a man really applies here #I feel like the makeup/beauty industry should be about creativity and expression and not trying to look younger and de-aging #I think there has thankfully been a shift where young actors/artists are being less exploited and allowed to have control over their careers #Ariana Grande and Rihanna’s fans absolutely hate that they’ve branched out and complain about their new ventures #it’s like at the end of the day these artists sole purpose isn’t to entertain you they have their own lives #the only person I can think of that hasn’t had that anger from fans is Selena Gomez and I wonder if it’s because she debuted doing both #that second sentence is a doozy but I couldn’t figure out a way to phrase it better
