The way that we continue to age while the characters we loved as children stay largely static will never not fuck me up. What do you mean Percy and Annabeth are younger than me? I'm only in fourth grade. What do you mean they could be my students? I'm just a child using a flashlight to read under the covers when I should be asleep. What do you mean I'm in my twenties and they're only twelve? I'm just a middle schooler using puffy paint to make my own camp shirt. What do you mean I'm too old to even be a camp half-blood counselor.? I'm 14 and waiting in line at midnight to buy the latest book, a handmade camp necklace around my neck. What do you mean I've grown up while my childhood heroes have stayed age 12, never older than 18, ink for blood and paper for bone. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean?

Niki Lauda, after Max's debut race with Red Bull and his maiden victory in F1 in 2016: I have no answer except to take my cap off. What we are seeing is a talent of the century.
Seven years later, Max has surpassed Niki in all time grand prix wins and has now joined him in the three Time World Champion club.

I just had a sudden realization of psych going from flip phones to those iPhones without home buttons.
It started in 2006. It has 8 seasons and 3 movies, one of their movies was released in 2021.
And I will not shut up about it. I love this show. But it’s still kinda crazy how long it goes for

Do the kids these days know about chain letters? Do y'all know that we used to do tag memes, but by mail? There were a ton of different kinds, ranging from "if you pass this on you'll have good luck, if you don't Misfortune will Befall" to primitive pyramid schemes to cute little notes. The basic format was, you get this letter and you copy (by hand, most of this was before printers were a household item) it 2+ times (the letter would specify) and send it to friends of your choosing.
A common variant was a list of like ten names and addresses: in copying the letter, you'd remove the top name on the list then add your own at the bottom. Those usually involved sending something to the top name on the list - a dollar or a trinket, so you'd in theory get a bunch of goodies/cash once the chain filtered through ten more links. That'd be your pyramid scheme variant. But yeah, we'd put our name and address on a piece of mail and send it out there for theoretical hundreds of strangers to see.
My dad had a rant on the evils of chain letters, which was apiece with his overall hatred of anything that involved imposing even the hint of an obligation on anyone else. Thus I have a lifelong complex about tagging people in memes... But that aside, I just think it's neat that we keep doing the same behaviors over and over in different ways as technology changes.

I really do believe that the part of me that's still a queer kid in a christian school suffering from intense self-loathing and deeply ingrained religious guilt will be healed beyond measure when I see Nico di Angelo on my TV screen for this first time.

Feeling motivated to figure out how to take a few thirst trap pictures of myself just because I look at pictures of me in my 20s like... you sweet little moron, wear the crop top. Wear the booty shorts. You wanted to but didn't feel like you could. You were so cute. You should have let yourself enjoy it more.
And now I'm almost 40, and I can practically hear my 60 year old self saying "You sweet little moron, take the sexy picture. Immortalize those arms you worked so hard for. They won't last forever. You were so cute. You should have let yourself enjoy it more."

The Powerwash simulator episode with Mark and Ethan was so nice! It just makes me happy seeing them together, I missed that!
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely understand Ethan wanting to do his own thing without Mark attached, and I'm very happy for him!
It's just nice seeing them is all. Friendship goals!

Whenever I start reading a fic about a character I love slowly starting to outlive everyone they've ever known, I'm not going to be okay for at least a week.
If I'm to the point of starting to write one... that's usually a sign of Mental Health Issues!™
