65

Today I am reading fic about a character only mentioned in passing, so we have no model for her, and know very little. Except she is 65.

The source text considered it a joke that a younger man would marry someone 65.

Most of the actresses I can think of right now are 57 to 59 now. It dont seem very far different though. And they're all amazing.

I looked on wiki a bit and found Geena Davis is the right age, and then I found some early 2020 pictures, and she is still, you know, Geena Davis. Awards dresses and glamour. If she wanted a thirty years younger trophy husband I personally would believe she could get one.

So it dont seem like a funny joke to me.

I wonder what age women are supposed to stop. :eyeroll:




I keep wanting to fic this as a whole time traveller's wife thing though. Like sure, the day people are acting like his marriage is a joke, she's thirty years older than him, but the day they met he could have been the older one, we don't know. And they could have many time travel adventures. And the way he covers up his time travel is nobody believes someone with his reputation could be either competent or sneaky, so of course he isn't doing that kind of thing. So acting like his marriage is a joke to cover up the time travel aspects would be very in character. And ... I just get frustrated because making it a joke is the very least interesting thing they could have done, and yet.


But just for this one thing, that actually marrying an older woman is a thing that does indeed happen, there's a whole story without that as well.
