Homer is a boomer for now and ever and no one can tell me otherwise. not even the show writers.

[(Anonymous)]

I still remember that ep where Homer feels he hasn't archive nothing and he was 38, which Marge answers with a "You're 39". Right in my age range.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, he’s always gonna be a Boomer.

[(Anonymous)]

But, he's also a fictional character. I mean, Bruce Wayne was originally of the Greatest Generation (*if you assume he was 38 or younger when he first appeared in 1939) and in the latest movie, he's a Millennial.

Want to feel even older? Bart used to be Gen X.

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing has made me feel older than the realization I was Bart's age when I started watching the show and now I'm Homer.

What's funny is that, in my experience, actual military people are super weird! They're nerds with really far-out senses of humor. I think it's how they cope with the wild swings between boredom and life-threatening stress.

Semi-related to the pic, this is what Red vs. Blue fills in for Halo.

In the games, you see the point of view of the people that changed the course of the war, and see it from the eyes of humanity's champion that was made from some of the worst things mankind could do to itself. It's from the point of view of humanity's ultimate desperation against a relentless enemy.

In Red vs. Blue, you see a bunch of loonies that enlisted for an army that is a bureaucratic mess, and spend years doing nothing but bickering and dicking around just so they don't go insane from boredom. All, while people in the higher ranks have their own agendas, and the troopers slowly come to realize which causes really matter, when the war machine instead chews them and spits them out like garbage.

I absolutely love both Halo and Red vs. Blue, but I really can't deny that Halo, and a lot of military science fiction, tends to paint military as too professional or too cocky. Spartans, I can understand them being machine-like, since the canon stresses how fucked up their creation was and how exposed they are to conflict.

But common soldiers... gameplay-wise, yeah, I can get it. On one hand, I can understand programmers making them simple-but-entertaining to listen to while avoiding making too many customizable things, but on another, I abide by the philosophy that every single human being on the planet is a degree of crazy, and denying otherwise leads to either unhappiness, or boredom.

I remember watching a Vietnam doc about unhappy soldiers and crewmen drawing on their helmets and equipment, and comments taking the piss on the kind of stuff they'd draw and write on their own helmets should the worst come to pass. "Next Stop: Isekai." "Here Comes the Fuel OwO."

The foundational premise of military science fiction is that the unique identifying quality of humanity as a species is the ability to say oo-rah

[(Anonymous)]

Does anyone have good recs that have zero to no romance or sex/longing for it in them? In particular no straight romance. Male-only or female-only protagonist groups are very welcome as well.

Tbh what most military sci fi misses is that, for the vast majority of history, most of grunt work has been done by dudes in their late teens to mid-20s. Aka the age where people can get REAL stupid in a fun way.

I gave it a shot too and really didn’t like it, but I tend to feel that way about many of the books the BookTok recommends.

it's 2/3 waifu. And lolis. Only the 1/4 is hasbandos. Archons just reflect that. I don't feel like I have to pull for archons specifically. I hot Zhongli and that's it.

It's been a long time since I could enjoy media focused on teens or kids, to some extent even as a kid I always kind of preferred the adult characters in the stories and as an adult now I just find no interest in media about kids/teens. It's fine it exists, it's just not for me at all.
