me at 14: wow, protagonists in media my age! how relateable!
me at 28: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY CHILD SOLDIERS? WHERE ARE ALL THE ADULTS? WHO LET THIS HAPPEN AND WHY ARE THEY NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY LAW WITHIN THESE FICTIONAL UNIVERSES
In the same vein:
Me at 14: oh protagonists that are 17-20-ish, they’re basically adults, right?
Me at 28: Oh my Gods you’re babies who left you in charge?!
Ariel: Daddy, I love him! Me at 14: Yeah, girl, you tell him! Me at 30:
Marnie in Halloweentown: I’m thirteen, okay? I’m practically grown up! I’m certainly old enough to make my own choices – right?
Me at 7: Right!
Me at 13: Right! …Well, okay, maybe not practically grown up, but still, right!
Me at 28:
You either die young or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
This is so true
Me playing FFVIII: Oh you poor kids you’re at the Legion of Sulky Teenagers stage and these idiots want you to save the planet here let me be your invisible fairy godmother
Me playing FFX: Auron you’re my age and this kid is calling you old man feel free to deck him *sigh* ok never mind he’s a good kid even if he is a doofus I guess we’d better be chaperones with Lulu here or they’re never going to get through this
Me playing FFX: Lulu you talk a good game but you are ALSO a baby, take a spa day and let me handle everything it’ll be ok the spirit controlling the Team Goober is benevolent and powerful
Me playing FFXIII: Sazh, you are the only one who understands me.
