#math is the actual worst

[grandwretch]

been thinking a lot about those hcs about steve bullying eddie and i'm pretty sure the math just does not check out on any level

like okay so first of all, steve absolutely would not be bullying someone older than him in his freshman and sophomore years, especially because in the way puberty hits teen boys, there is no way eddie wasn't probably taller and bigger than him in those years.

and like, yeah, he was more of an asshole in his junior year, but he was only a junior for four months before the demogorgon. so that means that everything you want steve to be responsible for vis a vis eddie's trauma has to be within that four months.

it's especially egregious when the only person we actually see steve bully is jonathan, who is a sophomore at the time. a sophomore who kicked steve's ass, btw. which probably means steve wasn't physically bullying seniors and escaping unscathed.

also it seems to be an equally popular trope that steve bullied gareth and gareth hates steve the most out of all eddie's friends, which is like... okay, gareth is, i think, a junior at the time of s4? which means he would have been a freshman in steve's junior year. which, yeah, sets him in steve's prime bullying demographic, but can i just remind everyone that steve wasn't even with that crowd for his entire first semester of junior year?

it seems incredibly unlikely that gareth got bullied by steve personally in fall '83 and then held on to that grudge for the rest of high school, especially after seeing firsthand steve's fall from popularity and then spending almost a whole year in school without him.

Sometimes, I forget that Blue Lock takes place around 2018-2019 and get super surprised when I remember because that would mean I'm actually around the boys' age.

Like, I've been reading and watching the series as if I were another Anri because I'm currently her age at the moment, so I've been looking at most of these boys with a bit of a mother's heart, y'know?

...Then I remember the year the story is set, and everything sorta crumbles because that puts me in the same age group as all the second-year boys of the series. I could be some of these guys' classmates for crying out loud, and here I am calling them "children" and "babies" and stuff.

For example, Nagi, who would be several months older than me, but he gets babied by Reo anyway, so I think I get a pass there. Speaking of Reo though, even that guy would be older than me by a few months in the setting of Blue Lock! I'm 13 days, barely two weeks, older than Chigiri!!! Eat your heart out, pretty boy. I ran out of the womb faster than you did /j

At this point, I need to make an age list with their ages and birthdays to arrange them from oldest to youngest because the identity crisis this gives me is getting ridiculous.

LMFAOOOO

It's very unclear! But Alfonse's "It's been at least 10 years since Sharena was a child" line is a rough estimate itself. I feel like it could place Sharena anywhere to 18 to 20 when she joined the Order of Heroes (this is just my headcanon though, based on what's typical irl -- there's also a possibility that in Askr, the age you're considered "an adult" is different, but that's also speculation)

But if Sharena was anywhere from 18 to 20 when she joined the Heroes, and granting that a few years have passed to get to Book 4. Maybe 22? 24? At oldest? If every book is a year. Which in that case!

Yeah she could be at this point actually 🤔 Or maybe 26.

And really you can throw any random number at Alfonse like. I kinda hc he's 3 years older than her, if not 4. They do seem close in age, but far enough that Alfonse has always felt more "grown up" to her (possibly by the way he was treated/raised, many possibilities). But going off those numbers, he could be 29 or 30ish current Book, if we're going w Sharena being 26 (makes me wonder if his Brave alt is gonna make him look "more mature"... like his portrait always read as young adult to me, but I wonder if he'll be a little less baby faced.)

It's so awkward to tell people about my majors lol, like:

Other People: "So what are you majoring in?"

Me: "Soooo I'm double majoring technically..."

Other People: :O

Me: "...and double minoring."

Other People: "Oh my gosh you must be really smart!!"

Me: "Ummm, kinda? I mean technically?"

Other People: 🤨

Me: "I mean, I'm really book smart! But like, if you're talking about overall smarts, I think it averages out."

Other People: "You can't be that bad-"

Me: "I regularly forget to eat."

Other People: 😐

Me: 😐

Other People: "Sooooo..." (finds another topic)
