#... imma add the time discrepancy thing. ive talked abt it before but. its effecting me again!!! lol

My brain is struggling to comprehend time (none of this is for shipping reasons idgaf abt that! This is about my brain being silly at math).

So, in Rottmnt, Mikey is a 2005 kid. I'm also a 2005 kid, so my brain automatically has a «same hat» attachment to him (same thing happened when I watched Into The Spiderverse in 2018, I spent a good while being excited just because Miles and I were both '05 kids).

What my brain is struggling to comprehend is; If both of us are '05 kids, then we are the same age, yeah? That's how it works.

But the show is from 2018 and therefore he's still 13. But. I'm not 13? I'm 17, so I'm older than the bros + April. But the others are '04-'02 kids, so they're older than me???

And the movie takes place in 2020, but then I'm the same age as Raph, a 2003 kid???

I logically know it's just a show. I logically know that the characters are the correct ages for when the media was set. But some part of me is still repeating the «2005 kid? Why's he 13? Why am I 17?» thing.

It doesn't do that for Into The Spiderverse, though, because I saw it in 2018, and therefore my brain knows we were the same age at the same time (and is like «We're growing up together!! Yay!!»), but because I only saw Rottmnt within the past month, there's that disconnect.

This post has no point to it <3 I just wanted to get my thoughts somewhere outside of my head ( ^ ^)👍
