Diomedes rocking up to the swingers event dressed in itacha's finest wool and weaving, some of penelope's jewelry, and weirdly soft freshly carved wooden bangles: I'm not dating odysseus and his wife but this is a couples only event so I will remember to lie well.

The hostest: Oh! You must he diomedes odypen could not stop gushing about their handsome young man. And look odysseus made you bracelets that match his wife's! How romantic

Omegaverse but it's life cycle-y.

Everyone has All The Bits but only one set active at a time. I can't decide what makes the most sense, but...

Neutral in childhood, presenting as alpha, insemination-capable for a short period (several years), and then a transition into being capable of pregnancy and such? And then beta is like. Menopause? Alternately you get like One Rut and then the rest of your life is Pregnancy Mode.

Or present as omega, pregnancy through the Most Fertile years, and then the body shifts to insemination as the fertility goes down? This one has more in common with IRL fertility periods but I find it the most boring.

Or it's cyclical like two or three years in each mode and then back to the beginning.

(Not like Left Hand of Darkness, that's been done.)

The first two would be very Systemic Age Difference, which I think is really interesting. But also imagine if you could only impregnate for like. Up to age 25. And after that… pregnancy.

You get five years to fuck as many older women as will have you, and then you get to be the older woman.

This would lead to some radically different norms for maternity care and child welfare. NGL it's giving Hentai Universe.

Most people probably only ever choose to go through one, MAYBE two pregnancies. If every single person can get pregnant, the reproduction rate for a steady population is 1.05.

(Also, a friend informed me that this is Shrimp Gender.)

I like to think of the social dynamics.

Like. All the young dudes know that most "girls" have had sex before in their alpha period, yeah? So you probably have "omega virginity," and "true virginity."

And it's not THAT highly valued since almost everyone ends up an omega eventually, so Age = Authority means that few cultures prize "true" virginity unless it's a Religion Thing. But "true" virgins are definitely a kink, while the culturally normalized kink is trying to get the oldest omega you can because she DEFINITELY won't be impressed by you and most have their own thing going on

Marriage... may or may not be a thing?

Senpai shifts to omega early so there's a two year overlap where you can get her pregnant so you do it! Thrice! And then you're an omega too and it's time to be happily married for the rest of time I guess.

Beta/Alpha is considered the most cringe, in terms of age difference stuff.

Ages Differences in 9-1-1

Oliver Stark was born 1991.

Ryan Guzman was born 1987. +4yrs

Lou Ferrigno Jr was born in 1984. +7

Connie Britton was born in 1967. +24yrs

Jennifer Love Hewitt was born in 1979

Kenneth Choi was born in 1971

8 years difference

So why do so many Buddie writers have other characters thinking that Tommy is really old/too old for Buck? Wouldn't that mean Chim is really old/too old for Maddie?

I'm asking because I'm Kenneth's age and weirded out by this.

These Lana Del Rey fans, especially her minor fans, need to realize that no, older is not better. No that 25 year old should NOT be with a 17 year old. Even a 20 year old shouldn’t be with a 17 year old. Y’all may think that they are “more mature than your generation” but let me tell it to you straight… they aren’t. In fact, they’re worse. Believe me. I’m only 22 and that might not seem like I’m much older than y’all but listen…. The real world outside of school, outside of social media? There are some real fucking creeps out there. ESPECIALLY on social media. Even if the age difference isn’t all that much, it is in terms of where you are in life. No one that’s been out of school for 2+ years should he with anyone that is still attending. If someone way older is trying to pursue something, it’s not cute nor a compliment. They’re creeps and preying on young girls.

Social media and even certain celebs have made it seem that “older is better” not realizing their words could fall on the wrong ears and how harmful it is knowing it feeds into pedophilia. Just because your fave says it, doesn’t mean you have to try it.

Understand this and please keep yourself safe.

Wait you folks are teens? Cool! I was 15 when I first got on tumblr. From someone in the second half of their 30s: the best is absolutely yet to come.

The old school lack of transparency on tumblr is amazing because you assume the people you follow must all be equivalent to you and then you see someone write “I brought my youngest to college today” and someone else write “my mom wouldn’t let me listen to Ariana Grande when I was a kid” and then your head explodes

"i'm too old for you" sir, the age gap is literally one of the things that got me attracted to you in the first place

[salsa-and-light]

That comparison is actually perfect.

i don't want to be an older man's sex toy or secret. i want to be an older man's darling, to be loved and treasured, i want to be doted on and treated like a princess, and in return i'll treat him like a king ♡︎

Already a Mensch

I remember studying the poem “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman in my high school English class. Housman was one of my favorite poets, and this poem in particular appealed to me because of its message and style, both of which were easy to understand. The message was clear. Glory “withers quicker than the rose,” and so it would be better to die young rather than see your “record cut” and…

I want a grown man to be obsessed with me.
