It's funny stepping back into fandom spaces where most people are within my general age range or older after making so many younger friends in MiAbyss fandom* so when i go back to my old stomping grounds of LOGH or T&B or Star Trek or Vorkosiverse or the BJD hobby or just the whole entire SFF/genre fiction reader+writer sphere and it's like oh ok yeah. i'm not really thaaaaaaattttt humongously old i guess. because to be honest with you sometimes in other contexts i feel like the club penguin 18+ elderly penguin
*not to erase those of you in there who are older! it's just that something with MiA that was a brand new experience for me over the last year is that I sure did accumulate some treasured fandom friends a decade-ish younger than me and i feel somewhat protective of them slash occasionally ashamed of not being a more impressive role model or something but okay look you guys don't want a mentor you want a draw-er of shitposts and a writer-er of decentish fanfics and That I Can Do
#it was similarly funny when my sister and i went to Balticon this summer#aside from a pack of anime teens that we didn't interact with much nearly everyone was older..#we met a guy who outright said oh yeah you guys might be a bit young for this scene...#(in a very nice way! he could tell i was feeling a bit fish out of water)#we went to a room party and the hostess also noted we were younger and she was like the next youngest person we had met and she was 40#and those moments left me so surprised pikachu because.. i feel extremely old on the internet these days in a lot of nerd spaces#nice to know i'm still Larva Age (well pupa age maybe) for like star trek fandom ;;#if any morbidly curious soul read all these tags just wondering if i'd finally mention how old i am i'm thirty. gasp#it is unclear to me if i come across older or younger than this. you people made me start saying 'real' and 'bruh'#i used to mention my age more often on the internet and just stopped out of shame in like 2020 because i'd accomplished so little for my ag#i should try to unlearn that shit maybe .__. 'oh i can mention my age when i have a better job--' Hey. Thats An Insane Thought Process
