Today I met a woman, whose age she did not mention because she is a lady, was buying a lot of Star Wars merch because we had it on sale. And she was telling me that she couldn’t wait to see the new one and how she was going to stay up and see the midnight release and take pictures of people in costumes. She was so excited, and then she leans in close:

“You know, all these young men at these conventions- they see me and they ask me trivia about this that and the other thing and I tell them- ‘Son, I went to see the first one in 1977 before you were even a twinkle in your daddy’s eye.’ If I don’t know the answer, its because I damn forgot.”

More older ladies in fandoms please

Dwarves referring to babies as “pebbles” though

via @hattedhedgehog

#dwarves#erebor#but like#they call infants and toddlers pebbles more often than they use the word baby#like instead of saying ‘so I heard you have a baby on the way’ it’s ‘ahhh I hear you’ll have a little pebble of your own soon!’#or ‘how many pebbles?’ ‘two/how bout yourself?’#and sometimes parents just refer to their child as The Pebble instead of by name#pebble is just a cute name for dwarf babies
