hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

what's up with that mr. little amirite?
i wish i could remember who made the recommendation to "make a list of all the different ways someone could feel about a topic in your fictional setting and then make each of them a character" because it is a great technique and is also extremely fun
Some people look better with less clothes and some of us were born with the painful absence of a Soviet era military winter overcoat

I think the funniest bit of ppl deciding Fox is their Blorbo of choice is that the prime counter argument is that he has a grand total of like 5 minutes of screentime.
Which. Sure.
But have you considered that out of that 5 minutes he spends like 3.5 minutes hitting Iconic Poses.
Like That guy on one knee with one pistol raised as he talks into his Com? Fox. The affronted manager being yelled at by Karanikin? Fox. The bitchy guy with his arms crossed talking to Ashoka? Fox.
And his promo image Pose???
Like. Sir.
“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.
