#legal consent

People need to realize that this 'emotionally repressed' 'bad at communicating' 'doesn't know how to show love so doesn't even try' Bruce that's so popular with fandom, can't exist at the same time as 'best father of the year' 'tried his hardest' 'kind, compassionate grandfather' Alfred that the fandom loves so much !

Little crown prince of Spades Alfred leaving dirty flowers from the gardens and gifts he makes for his future queen because he's too shy to give them to Arthur outright. Arthur being quite a lot older than Alfred just thinks it's cute and his silly little crush will go away once he realizes he doesn't have to actually swear himself to Arthur. It's only a political marriage to appease the kingdoms.

Then Alfred hits 18 and Arthur is like "...oh fuck"

Pet Peeve: people saying underage when what they mean is under 18. Underage is a legal term which refers to the legal age of consent which differs from country to country and even sometimes state to state. It also differs over time.

So no it wasn't legal in 18th century England to have sex with underage girls it was however legal to have sex with girls who were under the age of 18 (and still is). 18th century England did have age of consent laws it's just that the age of consent was much lower than 18 (10 for girls 14 for boys).

It's important to remember that legality and morality are different things. When we talk about historical legal systems we need to distinguish between what was legal/illegal and what is moral/immoral.

Thinking about the Vishkar cybernetic “upgrade” happening as soon as a student turns a certain age (thinking something like 16 to give them time to get used to it before graduation/starting work with the company, though it could even be as young as 13). Thinking about Niran having to go through the procedure first since he’s 6 months older, and then Satya trying to swallow her growing fear as the months pass and she watches Niran suffer through the phantom pains and the emotional trauma of having a perfectly healthy part of your body cut off. While Niran wears his feelings loudly, Satya retreats into herself, plugging her ears while Niran cries in the night

Welp, now I have FOMO. I didn’t get hate ask from that anon.🥲

Is it because I blocked too many of them? Because I rarely go to their side to play? Because my posts are too long? Or probably because I’m just not important enough?😩😩😩

I'm so tired of age gap fics please if i can suspend my disbelief about mushroom zombies I can suspend my disbelief about the reader's age not being equivalent to my own, please just give me two 50(+) year old bastards falling in love no more of this 15+ year age gap I swear to god someone is gonna make me start writing last of us fanfiction at this rate.

Anyways, I would like to request some aid from the last of us fandom in terms of fic recs if anyone knows any good reader insert or x reader fics wherein they and joel are around the same age? Pre or post outbreak, au, I don't care I'm starving please if anyone has any let me know.

EDIT: I did not think this was going to get any traction which in hindsight was kinda stupid of me but I really want to clarify something since I originally left it in the tags which I probably shouldn't have. THIS ISNT A HIT PEICE. I've been a fanfic writer for years now even if this blog isn't exactly a great example of my supposed stellar writing consistency. I mean no hate towards the people who like age gap or write it it just isn't my thing personally and I would like to read fics that explore other topics besides that when it comes to this fandom. Yes I understand the easy solution is to write my own and i would be a liar to say I wasn't but I'm new to this fandom and still consuming the actual content and I know my drafts aren't exactly great right now in part because of that. What I wanted to accomplish here wasn't just to complain a little but to reach out and ask if anyone could point me in the direction of non age gap fics in the mean time and they did so thank you very much!! I genuinely appreciate it. Write what you like but understand that I also reserve the right to read what I like and to ask for help in finding it because let's be honest tumblrs search and filter system is non existent and asking for help was my next best bet so uh yeah I'm gonna stop rambling now and refine this maybe when I'm more awake and can word things better probably.

18 year old tboy patrick letting 22/23 year old pete take his virginity the SECOND he turns legal and telling pete to just pull out so he doesn't get pregnant. pete agreeing and once he says he's close patrick tells him again to pull out but he isn't moving. patrick getting increasingly frantic begging pete to pull out because he's too young to be a mommy but when pete finally cums he SLAMS his hips in so there's no WAY the pregnancy doesn't take. sorry patrick looks like you're gonna have to be a teen mama after all :((

(bonus points if throughout the pregnancy pete refuses to cum anywhere but directly onto patricks growing tummy)

Boy, this Willy's Chocolate Experience fiasco has sure been amusing to look at, hasn't it? This trainwreck has given us nothing but pure wholesome fu-

>Paul Connell, the most well known of the "Willy McDuff" actors, got outed for dating a 16 year old student while he was a 22 year old drama teacher

Oh for fucks sake

the guy i'm talking to rn is getting on my last nerve im considering getting back into my 'exclusively liking older guys' phase. but this time actually do something about it instead of just joking around.

[median-culture-is]

Median culture is having a very unsure opinion on in-sys relationships because of the blurring and lack of distinction between headmates, and feeling like participating in an in-sys relationship would be completely like dating yourself. I know that other plurals aren't the same as our collective but it just feels kinda odd. (Not judging in-sys relationships btw, if it's consensual and legal then we could not care less)

Learning against my will about ozempic and actually got a little pissed off when the lady describing it said once you take it youre basically on it forever to maintain results. Like i wonder where all the "concerned" people that have been fearmongering about hormones for years are now. Why are we not concerned about the potential side effects of lifelong use of these specific drugs, or is it fine because theres an outcome society considers favorable
