If you don’t reblog this every time, I’m judging you.
My fiance is 29 years older than me. So……..THIS.
Damn right !
Interfering busybodies are screwing up humanity.
You love who you love and that should be the end of it. It is nobody else’s damn business !
My boyfriend is 51 years older than me; I’m gay, and I think the quote “Love is love” is stupid. It’s too vague and general.
If you’re a teen and you’re dating someone who’s 21, 25, or in their 30’s, chances are that the older person is not in love with you; they’re ephebophiles and creepy. Specifically, I’m invoking the cliche that “they should know better.” Here’s why:
The part of the brain that determines logical reasoning doesn’t begin to develop until one’s late teens and early 20’s (essentially after puberty), and the part of the brain that determines emotional reasoning begins development in one’s early teens (essentially early puberty). This is the cause of a lot of crazy, cliched teen-aged bullshit, and the reason why teens aren’t trusted with the responsibilities of adulthood. Of course, with over seven billion people on the planet, there are bound to be exceptions (e.g. that one person you heard of in a rumor or some such).
If the man or woman is older than you by a lot of years and you are an adult, then I trust in your ability to make your own judgement (I am, after all, in the same boat as you are). However, if the man or woman is older than you by a lot of years and you are still a teen, then I doubt in your ability to make a logical and/or reasoned judgement. What’s worse is that the older person knows you, as a teen, cannot make that call…

“Your assignment is to write a short fictional story”
“But keep it realistic, no fantasy worlds”
EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN INTRO TO CREATIVE WRITING
I had a teacher like that. I sent her a very strongly worded e-mail to the tune of WOW FUCK YOU! TOLKIEN, SHAKESPEARE, ASIMOVS! WHAT FUCKING HACKS WITH THEIR FAIRIES AND EPIC SAGAS!
Only I said it very politely and in, essentially, a long form essay format.Because I am one cultured motherfucker.
I think there’s some validity to have aspiring/beginning authors write mainly realistic fiction to begin with. It has to do with learning the tools of the trade before going for the extravagant stuff, especially since many people who start off writing fantasy/sci fi thereby never properly learn how to conduct character development or drive plot. They rely too heavily on the plot devices provided to them by their world and not enough on strong characterization and story.
Of course, past a certain point, people should write what comes to them naturally, whatever idea that is. But one should know the right time to pursue the right idea, you know?
I totally get what the teachers are trying to accomplish, but the whole stereotype of fantasy/sci fi with poorly developed characters/plots needs to go away now. Give people more credit!
The teachers are trying to teach those things before going to complicated genres. It’s an intro course. You need to learn the basics before moving to the complex stuff, and intro courses will hardly - if at all - touch the complex stuff.
That person sent a “strongly worded letter” to someone for doing what was expected of them. The best part of that is when they compared themselves to Shakespeare and Tolkien; like, hello, you’re in an intro course obviously you are not as good as either of them.
Tolkien was a professor of English, and he probably taught the same damn way for his intro courses.

This is amazing. Several folks in my kindred are ex-military, including my husband, and this is a major victory that means a lot to them personally. I can’t believe I haven’t seen this going around on my dash like wildfire.
No matter your views on the military, this is amazing.
