my mom is 61 and her bf is a huge nerd and he’s teaching her to play magic the gathering and he had her watch avatar the last airbender with him and his ringtone is terra’s theme from final fantasy 6 and he paints pictures of sephiroth. my mom’s bf is nerdier than i’ll ever be.
and she does all these pinterest crafts and now she makes little bejeweled vials of healing potions for him and his buddies. my little geek heart can’t handle all this.
edit: just picture a 60-something woman with a VERY thick minnesotan accent saying “mike is having me watch the naruto”
just fyi my mom is now 62 and they finished watching “the naruto”
if i had told my 13-year-old self that this is what my mom’s hallway would look like when i was 30 i wouldn’t have believed me

I am an author of a very famous and beloved series. I have released every installment of it, except for the last one, which fans really want to read because they love my story and they want to know how it ends.
While I could just write a proper ending, I instead decide to use the last installment of my series to teach everyone a lesson about narrative: if I made a story where the characters, say, only talk about eating tofu, all day, for hundreds of pages, without ever resolving any of the issues that the story previously set up, that would be Bad.
So, since I am the most cleverest boy in all the world, I do exactly that. In the last installment of my series, the epilogue if you want, I have all my characters drop everything to only talk about tofu: “see how Bad it is?”, I say. I am a genius.
People do not like my epilogue, and they say it is because it is Bad. You wretched dunces, that was exactly my point: I taught you a valuable lesson about narrative! It is not a lesson anybody asked for, no one forced me to write about tofu, I decided of my own accord to make the story Bad so that everyone could see how Bad it would be if I had done that.
Nevertheless, as many people valiantly point out to defend my epilogue, the lesson is still technically true: Bad thing are Bad, and it is advisable not to make a thing that is Bad. That is why I made it Bad.
How truly blessed am I in my genius, and how lucky are the readers of my story to have been handed such a valuable and thoughtful teaching.
