#wrong generation

[starsplusvodkastripes]

I don’t know if this counts as a vent but like, I have this primal urge that can never be filled, because I yearn to be a teenager in the early 2000’s. And it isn’t even one of those “I was born in the wrong generation, I just love the aesthetic of it.” No, I need to have been born earlier. Everything seemed so much simpler, my attention span wouldn’t have been fried by hours upon hours mindlessly scrolling on TikTok. And all the stuff I’m into is from that era, so I wouldn’t be missing out on anything. To be alive during the height of MCR, FOB and P!ATD pre Ryan leaving would fix everything wrong with me, and I know it. The urge is so strong, I get genuinely emotional thinking about how I’ll never experience it. Like, I’m mourning a time that never existed for me. Maybe I’m just neurodivergent and get emotional over little things, or maybe I was born to have been a teen in the early 2000’s.

I was born in the wrong generation. I wasn't meant to be a 21st century American, I was meant to be a BBC radio broadcaster known for my sharp wit and passion for cinema who died in a car crash in 1992.

2050:

A girl sighs, flopping down on her bed, LED lights cover it. She swears she was born in the wrong generation, turning her head to gaze at the Chappell Roan poster on her wall. Next to it, a Taylor Swift album cover. Today somebody asked her, “Who’s Billie Eilish?” When she asked her mom about if she used to listen to her, a faint smile crossed her face, and she chuckled, whispering, “why aren’t you scared of me, why don’t you run from me, what do you know?” Under her breath.

I was born in the wrong generation

I am not made for working a 9-5 or modern dating

I am made for sleep 18 hours, collect berries, hit rock with other rock, lovingly yell at moon

you know you were born into the wrong generation when, not only do you love the ways of the past, the things of the past, the music and art and lifestyle of the past-

but there's someone who lived through world war II and they themselves tell you that they wish you'd been born in the past with them so you could've been friends longer

but hey! what's 60 years difference?

This is 99% of the reason why it feels incredibly pointless to be "alive" in this timeframe of humanity's existence.

How heartbreaking it is to be born into such a dull, disillusioned generation—a time where love has lost its meaning. Where trust is rare, and loyalty even rarer. A world where people crave each other’s bodies in the name of love, yet forget the soul. No handwritten letters, no heartfelt postcards, no slow, romantic candlelight dinners—just fleeting encounters masked as affection. In this era, relationships are built on convenience, not connection. People no longer love; they exploit each other’s vulnerabilities, mistaking lust for intimacy and desire for devotion.

anyone else, regardless of the billie piper of it all, really fucking upset that ncuti gatwa isn't the doctor anymore

sorry i'm back at it... janeway calling tuvok her moral compass... girl that man is NOT a neutral observer that is your defence lawyer. your ride or die best friend. your checks and balances are not checking and balancing.

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

au idea... tng but it's set in the 80s and the enterprise is an apartment building rather than a ship

other tenants of the building include: -Picard (the head of the college that Data attends) and Q (no one really knows what he does, he just pops in and out whenever he pleases) -Troi (high school guidance counselor) and Riker (personal trainer) and Worf used to live here too but he moved out -Beverly (still a doctor) and Wesley (burnt out college freshman) -Barclay (works at Blockbusters w/ Data and Geordi) -Guinan (bartender of a secretly gay bar)

the ds9 apartment is a whole other story
