It’s funny, most people can be around someone and then gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart. That's why she had been crying, that day. She had never felt that way before and she knew she probably would never that way again.

Not only is having intergenerational friendships literally not creepy, imho it's actually essential. You NEED friends who are older to do things like help you when there's a problem with your taxes, and give you job advice, and relationship advice, and especially if you are part of a marginalized group, and especially if you're part of a marginalized group and don't have contact with a ton of other members of it, you need older friends to show you that there IS a future for you, for people like you, and what it looks like, and the way it doesn't even have to involve turning into your parents

[hiccup-queen]

conversely, you need friends who are younger to help introduce you to new ideas. You need friends who are younger to drag you out to try some adventure because they thought it looked cool. You need younger friends to help you fix problems, because they may have faced something similar in the past! You need younger friends to keep you up to date on slang so that you can embarrass your teenage family members by intentionally misusing it.

Cross-generational friendships are not some weird sin. My best friend is nineteen years older than I am - im closer in age to her children than I am to her. She's still my best fucking friend.

[genderkoolaid]

having friends who are older than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards older people.

having friends who are younger than you helps inoculate you against ageism towards younger people.

you need to be able to see people of all ages as people you live in a community with, people who are similar to how you once were or will be, people you can learn from and people you can teach.

how insane must it have felt to be an actor table reading for bbc merlin. alright anthony this week, you are driven mad by memories of the children you killed in your genocide. next week? bald.

[frogmerthur]

okay so i’ve been thinking abt bbc merlin x hamlet parallels today ESPECIALLY morgana x ophelia:

morgana and ophelia are SUCH mirrors of each other. both are women who loved deeply, who were loyal until that loyalty demanded the death of their own selves. both used as pawns in games played by men, suffer betrayal by those they love and trust, and left to unravel when the weight becomes too much. in the same way ophelia gets caught in the crossfire of claudius’ schemes and hamlet’s unraveling, morgana becomes collateral in uther’s crusade against sorcery. both are labelled unstable and dangerous, but no one stops to ask what broke them in the first place. both are victims of societal expectations.

and by the end, they’re remembered not for the warmth they once had, but for the way they fell. ophelia’s death is treated like a sad inevitability, just as morgana’s villainy is framed as her destined descent. ignoring the fact that in both cases, it was cruelty, neglect and betrayal that pulled them under.
