#it doesn't make a meaningful difference in their respective statuses as adults

the way it's canon that Rhysand is 28 years older than Tamlin has me cracking up
#acotar
#a court of thorns and roses
#sarah j maas
#tamlin poking fun at him for being a cradle robber and a decrepit old man
#rhysand saying shit like 'when i was your age-' and 'respect your elders!'
#tamsand
#it's all fun and games until you remember that the canon couple has a FIVE HUNDRED YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE
#with tamsand it's a joke because for all intents and purposes both of them are consenting adults when they become friends
#in fae terms they're both equally young - what's 20 years difference when you're going to live for a millennia more?
#they're both trained warriors at this point and although rhysand has more lived experience on and off the battlefield
#it doesn't make a meaningful difference in their respective statuses as adults
#remember that the main issue in age difference pairings is a power imbalance that's directly tied to their agency
#in our universe someone who is 23 might already have a stable job and live alone whereas someone who is 18 is fresh out of highschool
#and that's with a five year age difference
#the reason it's not a good relationship is because there is an imbalance of power and life experience as an adult
#the same age difference is no longer meaningful when you remove it from that context:
#say 38 and 43
#these are adults who have been adults longer than they've been kids and they have that life experience
#at this point you can widen the gap and still (usually) be fine - they've already established their sense of self
#so in the case of tamlin and rhysand they're both warriors and leaders in their own rights
#whereas in the case of feyre and tamlin or feyre and rhysand... well.
