#don’t judge by a cover

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER. PERSONAL ISSUES

Today a random boy (around 16 y.o) stopped me on the street. He asked me to buy a newish stuff for his vape. He is under 18, so he can’t buy it legally. I agreed. He was so excited. Then suddenly his smile was gone and he asked “are you 18 years old?” , I answered “I’m much older than that. I’m 24”. He surprisingly replied “wow. you don’t look like that at all”.

Honestly, it’s so annoying to look like a teen, be 24 and be 35+ emotionally at the same time. I’ve always been way too emotionally matured for my age.

The whole situation reminds me of a scene from Twilight

– How old are you?

– 17

– How long have you been 17?

– A while.

I have ambitions and I know how our surroundings shape us. If your two friends are millionaires, so the third millionaire is you. I just wanna more. It’s a normal desire. So, it’s so freaking hard to connect with others. I can’t handle meaningless conversations with peers, I get bored quickly. Also I don’t want to be mommy for them. At the same older folks judge me by my youngish cover and don’t want to deal with such kid as me. They just don’t know who am I and what can I bring to the table. When 30+ people get know me better, they start to learn from me. Some of them become mad or jealous of my maturity and awareness (I don’t show it of), I become a trigger for them - an alive reminder that they wested lots of time doing meaningless things during their 20s. To tell the truth, not all older individuals are interesting for me, lots of them are lack of personal evolution and complexity.

I know that 10 years later I will love and appreciate my young appearance way more, and roll eyes remembering my previous complaints.

So, anyone who wanna be friends with me?

I love reading 2000s/2010s niche YA books about teen girls in high school like it’s simply my favorite thing ever (Gallagher girls series by Ally Carter, Also Known As by Robin Benway, The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes). I’m currently reading All-American Girl by Meg Cabot and the only thing I hate about reading these books (besides the not-like-other-girls-ism and occasional misogyny that exposes them as very clearly a product of their time) is how little to non existent the fandoms for them are. Like, I get they’re aimed at younger people but I can’t be the only one reading them right now 😭.

(I also hate how when someone asks what I read and I say one of these I get made fun of? Like sorry we don’t all enjoy reading wuthering heights every second of the day and enjoy fun lighthearted literature every once in a while. Have you tried removing that stick from your ass and having fun?)

i don’t get the appeal of an incest ship if you’re only ever going to focus on the good romantic feelings and not the icky negative ones. the resentment the feeling of being trapped shackled wanting out and away from the person who knows so much too much about you since before you even knew to not allow it but at the same time you can’t imagine living in a world without them being away is like tearing a limb a piece of your soul you will never again be complete without them. no one else will ever understand you the way they do no one else will ever get so deep under your skin and you may hate it but you hate the thought of them not being there even more you can’t stand to see anyone else get to a part of them you didn’t and even worse when they get it before you. you push and you push and you push but when they let go it’s like you’re free falling and it doesn’t matter how far away you run you will never be far enough away because you carry them inside you everywhere you go. you tell yourself you want nothing more than to get away but they’re the only home you will ever have and you won’t ever let anyone get that close you’re already moulded to only fit in perfectly with them and you didn’t have a choice but this is who you are. there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go but there’s nothing you could do to make them let you go. you want to be so close to them you want to merge your bodies into one you hate how crowded you feel when they’re in the same room like they’re sucking in all the air and there isn’t any left for you and you want to get away so you can just breathe but you don’t even want to breathe in the air that hasn’t passed through their lungs first you hate that you feel this way you wish you could claw it out of your veins but then who would you be without it without them you want so much and it’s so ugly and you’re ashamed of how raw that need is how you want every part the good the bad the human you wish none of this had ever happened you feel dirty you never even had a chance to find something else be something else but then you look over and you love them so much so much and when it comes down to it nothing else was ever going to be enough for you anyway.

Would you read these?

I was just watching the Gilmore Girls episode where Luke’s uncle dies, specifically the part where Rory asks Luke where Jess is and Luke replies something like, “He’s probably playing basketball or something.” Basketball?? When have we ever seen/heard Jess do anything basketball related? Is Luke just that unaware of Jess’s whereabouts/interests? Or is Jess secretly a basketball lover? So much so that Luke just assumes that’s where he is? And Rory accepts this so easily, too?

Also—in the episode where he gets attacked by a swan he lies and tells Rory he got the bruise ‘throwing around a football with a buddy.’ Football? Buddy? Jess has never been seen playing sports and has no friends outside of Rory, how did she believe this so easily? Or is Jess secretly obsessed with sports, mainly basketball and football, that it was easy for her to believe?? What is the truth????

Something else I just thought about, I feel like in Season 2 when they first introduced the concept of Eclipsa, the big deal around her was her dark magic and how powerful she was. Like she still married a monster, but it was the magic that was the main focus

But by Season 4, it shifted to her crime pretty much just being marrying a monster. I think I heard that her chapter in the Book of Spells was almost entirely about monster dating, and she herself didn’t seem particularly exceptionally powerful either

I don’t know, I think that’s weird. I assume it was done mostly so that she can be a character we like and root for without having those messy evil bits. Scrub her clean and blame it on monster racism and all

I mean sure, most likely some of her stigma and depiction would just come from bigotry and the fact that she loved a monster and would abandon the throne for it, rather than anything evil. But she seemed like she had actual grayness and danger to her that never ended up panning out
