Do you know what the age difference between TK and Carlos is meant to be? We know TK is 26 in season 1 and was born in December, presumably in 1993 given that season 1 is early 2020. I always thought they were meant to be about the same age, but I rewatched the finale and Carlos did not seem to be near age 10 in the video from October 2003. I know the timeline is completely screwed and it probably isn't intentional, but just wondering if you know of any other indications of Carlos's age or the age difference?

The timeline is absolutely screwed lol but it is canon that Carlos had to be born in either ‘94 or ‘95 based on the Iris timeline. In season one Michelle says at one point it would have been Iris’s 28th birthday, making her a year older than TK. So if she and Carlos were in high school together, she couldn’t be more than two years older than him (and Carlos says “she was a few years ahead of me), so he can’t be older than ‘94 but can’t be younger than ‘95. I think because Rafa is ‘94 most people assume that’s Carlos as well.

we literally need more and better feminism

[simulationswarm]

we need ugly gross disgusting feminism again without conforming to aesthetics and advertisement companies i want pit hair i want leg hair i want weird haircuts i want to get rid of diet culture and ads for pink razors and make-up i want women to reject biological determinism and push away from the overwhelming tradwife narratives that social media feeds everyone ('natural hormone cycles' and 'divine feminine' and all of that shit) etc. i want more women working i want heterosexual relationships to get more balanced i also want it to be a norm for heterosexual couples to assess role assignments in the relationships and think critically about why they want children i want having children not to be something people just do because it is expected of them. I want a dyke for president. Etcetera

“While many people think fanfiction is about inserting sex into texts (like Tolkien’s) where it doesn’t belong, Brancher sees it differently: “I was desperate to read about sex that included great friendship; I was repurposing Tolkien’s text in order to do that. It wasn’t that friendship needed to be sexualized, it was that erotica needed to be … friendship-ized.” Many fanfiction writers write about sex in conjunction with beloved texts and characters not because they think those texts are incomplete, but because they’re looking for stories where sex is profound and meaningful. This is part of what makes fan fiction different from pornography: unlike pornography, fanfic features characters we already care deeply about, and who tend to already have long-standing and complex relationships with each other. It’s a genre of sexual subjectification: the very opposite of objectification. It’s benefits with friendship.”

Someone put it into words. I gotta sit down

(Why does this belong on my decidedly not-fan-fiction-related blog, you ask? Because this quote illustrates very well how assuming that anything where people put sex in it is debasing it, objectifying it, or simply ‘sexualizing’ it, etc. often misses a lot of the real picture of why people do that thing.)
