I guess it's because I'm getting older but I tire of 20s in my fics. Give me grown ass people. Although there is a beauty in youth, there's something really hot about someone older as well.

+1. I'm mid-30s and tired of seeing teenagers/20yrold protags. you are children, sit down and do a puzzle.

I basically agree, except I'm really tired of this trend of people in their 20s trying to infantilize themselves and claim they're still basically minors or whatever.

No. You are 24 years old, you're an adult. I know the economy has totally screwed your generation, but a broke adult with student debt is still an adult. It's okay, you can still watch cartoons if you want. (Plenty of 50somethings do too.)

OP of thread (ayrt's ayrt)

Omg yes!!! I don't think I've run into that outright -- thank God, but I think I've dealt with youths trying to act like they're grown? Which when I was 15 writing about people in their 20s, I had no clue WTF I was talking about but it just kills me lol

But I agree 100%. You can be 25+ live with your family (and even contribute to care taking!), have student debt, and still manage to have a full time job & a social life. And sometimes even have a kid! And still enjoy "kid stuff" regardless.

I think it's also the pearl clutchers who are like, an age gap of one year is gross (considering my parents have a ten year age gap and that was normal in the day, it's nbd). I don't get the kidcore aesthetic or anything like that, but like I said in the thread below, it's likely wish fulfillment to go back to being a child.

at 24 I was between jobs (contract worker) and chilling with friends on the weekend. I still watched cartoons and was into anime at the time. people don't understand that just because you get older you have to log off of the internet and do what the boomer generation consider "normal" adult things.

AYRT

I'm about to turn 30 and I'm already feeling this way. Lmao. I try to avoid college AUs (as someone who was lucky enough to go to college but commuted) because I just can't with this "I'm only 19/20 and I have classes, and amazing job (somehow?) and an apartment and etc etc etc" i just can't lmao

Not to say some people don't live like this/it might be a fantasy --but I can't. Am I being a bitter ass hater? Probably. So i just avoid it.

ayrt

lmao welcome to the club

college aus I feel are complete fantasy for the writer who might be struggling through college/be jobless/living at home and is just wish fulfillment sometimes, or they're young and truly don't understand the juggle that classes/job/life is.
