Re: Age Gaps in Fiction

[personal profile] philstar22 2017-08-02 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, in my current fandom, most of the characters I'm shipping are immortal, so age gaps aren't really an issue. I guess the biggest age gap would be between Sauron, an immortal Ainur older than time itself, and Celebrimbor, and elf who is immortal and yet was born. So who knows how big the age gap is. But that relationship is really messed up anyway. Age gap is the least of their problems.

I've stopped reading Potter fics, I realize, because I'm no longer interested in reading about the relationships of teenagers. Happened sometime in my 20s, but now I just don't really read about young characters in relationships. If their the same age it doesn't bother me, I just don't care.

I tend to like relationships that defy expectations in some small way at least. Like with my main OTP, Angbang, Melkor is Sauron's boss. But the way I see them, Sauron is as close to an equal in power as Melkor could ever have and speaks his mind and asserts himself and Melkor listens to Sauron and does what he wants. And they are so alike in a lot of ways that they work well together. Plus, I always imagine that Sauron has much more sexual experience because the way I see him, he much more easily divorces sex from feelings and also sees sex as a power tool just like everything else is to him. So even though it is a boss/employee relationship with a hierarchy that can make romance complicated, it works for them and power is shared in a way neither of them would ever do with anyone else.
