#age shenanigans

[moshanglovechild]

If I'm not wrong, all the peak lords know that SQH (despite not looking or acting the part) is the eldest out of all of them. However, it will never not be funny to me how he is EVEN OLDER than they expect him to be. Like imagine they force feed him a truth serum or smth and the peak lords learn that he almost triples them in age. And when they ask him when was he born he answers a year that hasn't even passed yet... Imagine the shenanigans...

Adventures this week:

1. I discovered I am apparently an ageless cryptid. I'm 25 and I was offended on Tuesday when a school bus driving asked if I was waiting for the bus, implying I was a teenager. But that was made up for today when the cashier didn't bother to card me for wine, just asking what my birthday was. So how old do I look? Nobody knows.

2. I met a wonderfully friendly cashier at Walgreens first thing in the morning wearing a great collection of pins on their* lanyard, including at least one pride pin. They complimented my patch jacket and recommended a local place to but patches. AND they were super considerate about the name my store card was under. It's not actually under my name at all but my mom's because I'm too lazy to get my own, but this lovely person confirmed by asking "under [name]?" Instead of looking at me and asking it as if to make sure I am that person. And I'd bet this was because they saw my trans patches. It was a good start to the day.

*I have no idea what this person's pronouns actually were

and on some level i appreciate it and i'm glad i'm more mature than i was a year ago and i probably perform at a higher level because of it but

my close childhood friend who is one day younger than me is already a sophomore and it feels like there's already this huge chasm between what she can do and what i can do and i feel like now when i graduate undergrad i'll already be almost 23 and when i graduate law school i'll be almost 26 if i don't take any time off which idk how realistic that even is if i want to go into Big Law Schools and????? whoa that's actually old at that point? if i were someone who wanted to have kids and a family?? i would need to find a mate and make the most of my fertile years and i'd never make partner ever because it's like work date breed care for spawn attempt to crack back into the workforce care for spawn give up on ambitions care for spawn

not that an extra year would make a ton of difference but eh PARANOIA

Derek doesn't look 23 but in real life he's 24, and it's something I'm still having a hard time reconciling lol, especially when the actor playing Isaac is TWENTY SIX.

Omg, what?! The actor playing Isaac looks so young!
