ed and roy’s relationship encapsulates the gen z/milliennial dynamic very well because edward was born hating the system in a world already wrecked by war, but roy was this wide eyed optimist who had all his hopes and dreams shattered right in front of him so his actions and politics are painful to him but edward’s been ready to destroy shit since day 0 and has literally no qualms about the revolution.
no doctor who moment will EVER top donna being completely fucking oblivious to the god-knows how many alien invasions and threats that cropped up on earth over the past like 5 years, the doctor is going through a dozen simultaneous aneurysms trying to comprehend how one woman has missed every single fuckin thing - sycorax and slitheen and robot santas and autons - and donna’s just like ‘i was busy.’
just thinking about how the ds9 senior staff are shown multiple times having family dinner together…. :’)

One of the things I actually really like about Dragon Age is that not all the companions/romances are young, spunky 20 year olds who never age. A lot of them are older and it’s nice. Anders didn’t join the grey wardens until he was about 30 (give or take a few years) and he can’t be romanced until act 2 when he’s 34. Nathaniel doesn’t become a warden until he’s 30-31 either. Cassandra is 36-37 and Varric is 40 in inquisition. Cullen has most of his younger years stolen by trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and things that he’ll regret later; it isn’t until he’s 30 that he starts making real progress to redeem and improve himself.
Being younger right now really sucks because a lot of the time it feels like your losing your youth and the best years of your life. So it’s nice to think that those best years will happen later. It’s NICE to see people without any close friends finding their found family in their 30s and 40s. It’s NICE to see people become accomplished and discover their talents and passions later in life. It’s NICE to see older characters have just as much development as younger ones.
Snow was swirling against the icy windows once more; Christmas was approaching fast. Hagrid had already single-handedly delivered the usual twelve Christmas trees for the Great Hall; garlands of holly and tinsel had been twisted around the banisters of the stairs; everlasting candles glowed from inside the helmets of suits of armour and great bunches of mistletoe had been hung at intervals along the corridors.
