i love you guillermo del totoro

[ID: Four gifs of Guillermo del Toro in an interview. He says, “I think the sublime confusion is from 19 to 29. You think you are late for everything, you’re a has-been, nothing is happening, there’s no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you’re 30.” /end ID]

He once gave a class in Guadalajara and said “Ustedes los jóvenes están en la edad exacta de la desesperación. Yo nunca me sentí más acabado y viejo que a los veintitantos. Decía ‘ya me pasó la vida y no hice nada’. Pero estoy aquí para decirles que no: tienen un chingo de tiempo”

Which translates to “You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I’d say ‘life has passed me by and i did nothing’. But i’m here to tell you that’s not true: you have a lot of fucking time”

“Age is just a number” means senior citizens can still find love.

“Age is just a number” means middle-aged people can still find love.

“Age is just a number” means 30+ people can still find love.

“Age is just a number” is not an excuse to be a pedophile.

Nothing is an excuse to be a pedophile.

So don’t.

Just don’t.

also “age is just a number” means i’m buying that stuffed animal and y’all can’t stop me

yesterday i went to a gay bar for the first time, and I met two people. The first was a man well into his 70′s, who had only come out since his wife died. Even though he could barely walk, he knew every single person at the bar, and each one came over for a hug and to chat. The second was a transgender woman who, after two children and three grandchildren, had finally decided to live as herself. She was wearing heels and leather pants and makeup, and she was absolutely beautiful. she knew she was as well, and she was so proud and excited when people walked by and said “hey girl” without even thinking about it. point i’m trying to make is, it’s never too late to come out

Tbh if someone online isn’t a minor and they don’t tell you their exact age and just say something like “I’m in my 20s” that shit should send up some red flags because if you’re a minor there’s a big difference between being approached by someone who’s 20 and someone who’s 29 and if they aren’t willing to be completely transparent about their age but still wanna interact with minors you fuckin stay away from them yall keep yourselves safe okay

Also, @ the folks on tumblr my age or older: if someone tells u they’re a minor they have no obligation to tell you their exact age. If they say they’re a minor and they don’t want you following/reblogging/interacting with them because of your age, you fucking respect that. “it’s not our job to keep kids safe” as adults actually it kinda fucking is you creeps

And in reverse–

Guys. Don’t lie about your age.

If you’re a minor but you want access to something reserved for adults only, do not lie. It doesn’t matter how desensitized to the content you might be. If you engage with adults under a false age, we’re expecting you to be as old as you are, which means we’ll be talking about problems that people in that age deal with - NOT what a 15 or 16 year old would be dealing with.

And if an adult suspects you’re of age because of your lie, and they become attracted, and you get caught, THEY can end up in jail for exploiting a minor. That person had no idea you weren’t old enough, and thought you were of age to consent to an adult relationship. If they knew you were lying, think of the guilt that would put on them that they unknowingly took advantage of a minor.

Don’t. Fucking. Do that.

There’s multiple reasons why you SHOULD NOT fake your age - minor or adult. And doing so can get you in legal trouble. And 99% of places have rules against minors for your protection from this very scenario.

Do not go into adult spaces.

And you adults - don’t lie to hang out with the kids. It doesn’t matter how much more you relate to them, or how you share interests, or how you want to “help” them. If you are caught lying to be around minors, you can be in serious legal trouble. And say goodbye to future employment. If you’re in college, you wouldn’t be anymore.

There is literally NO REASON for ANYONE to lie about their age. Adults, we know better. Minors, keep yourselves safe, think smart.

also, if your are a minor, even if you dont want to put your exact age on all your social media, always mark yourself as a minor (especially on sites you post pictures of yourself on), otherwise…. Well “boys wil be boys” (read: men are fucking creeps) and you’ll get alot of inappropriate stories and images in your dms

@my underage followers do not date anyone over 18. like it’s different if you’re 17 and they’re barely 18 and you’ll both be 18 soon (given that you’ve been dating for a while of course)

but like example if you’re 15 and your partner just turned 18 like… that’s a big age difference. it’s just 3 years but the difference in maturity is HUGE. like i myself as a 15 y/o was nations away from where I am now as an 18 y/o

never let anyone tell you “love has no age”, and never bend to threats. your comfort zone matters and you deserve someone your own age. question why an 18+ year old would want to date a minor

A child’s voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who’ve forgotten how to listen.

bucky was 24 when he joined the army

steve was also 24 when he enlisted in the army and still 24 when he became their supersoldier

bucky was 27 when he died, 7 days before his 28th birthday

steve was 26 when he died

steve is 26 when he wakes up in 2011 and 26 during the battle of new york

steve is 29 when he finds out bucky survived and during shields collapse

steve is 30 when he takes on leading the avengers full-time and, a few months later, he is 30 years old and standing in a flying city talking to natasha how that would be a good place to die

#steve packed a lot in

Tumblr is weird because some people are freshmen in high school and some people have already graduated college and have a job and we’re all just conversing like age isn’t even a thing.

#AGE IS IRRELEVANT WHEN YOURE SCREAMING ABOUT CARTOONS

AU where people age until they reach 18 and then stop aging until they meet their soul mate so they can grow old together.

i’d never die

but imagine already being in a relationship at 18 and then at 22 you’re both sitting there looking at each other and realizing that you both haven’t aged a day

imagine platonically moving in with ur best friend at 18 and then realizing a few years later that you’ve been aging together

imagine purposely never finding your soul mate so you can reign eternal

holy shit i think we may have stumbled upon the greatest romance/adventure concept ever

What if you killed your soul mate so you’d make sure you never aged.

This just makes me really want a story where the main antagonist is someone who has been killing their soulmate for centuries whenever they find them, and the main protagonist is the newly re-incarnated version of their soulmate

okay but you guys dont realize the potential.

imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.

Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.

Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.

imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.

imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time. 

imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.

imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”

imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.

imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation

imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.

i could go on for hours.
