Fandom Is So Weird You Never Know How Old Anyone Is But You Just Kinda Assume Most Of Them Are Around

fandom is so weird you never know how old anyone is but you just kinda assume most of them are around your age until proven otherwise and then one day someone is talking about their 9 year old kid on your dash and another person is saying they just finished 10th grade. wild.  

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job. 

Books live at my house.  They go from room to room and lounge on various pieces of furniture.  They go to work and to the store with us.  They sit at the kitchen table.  They ride in the car and fly in planes with us.  They live with us and pay rent in fantasy.  

Merry Christmas everyone

I've never seen it before, but I'm sure that anything on earth must be more canon than the cursed child.

I’m trying to prove a point to my sister, so reblog if a very potter musical is more canon to you than the cursed child is
