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
believe it

I once was at a con and was walking back to my hotel room when I happened to spy a bunch of people just then filling into their room and they were all very old- like easily in their 60’s or 70’s- and every single one of them was in unmistakeable Bleach cosplay. I told everyone else in my room about it and they were all “ew, that’s really weird!” which was really disheartening for me because I honestly thought it was wholesome and I honestly hope me and all of my elderly buddies still go in full cosplay to cons when I’m that age.
