It’s in Swedish and I’m much too lazy to translate. But I figured the older generation might benefit from knowing these terms like shipping, AO3, slash, and whatnot.
He does not like the concept of shipping at all. But he thought it was educational and he liked the pictures I used. It was Star Trek themed since ST essentially coined the slash term, and we both watch it so I made that the main theme.
Well. That was fun. I love explaining nonsensical shit to older peeps.
You did share your lemon fanfics with him, right? Right???
Jokes aside I can relate to that - myself was explaining some anime stuff to my mum, not too long ago. Mostly a few references to youkai in Spirited Away, the concept of the four demographics, genres (or “why my nephew and me barely watch anime together, even if we’re both into anime”), etc.
That sounds fun! Tbh I love explaining these newer terms to older fans of the same show because usually they’re so “dumbfounded” but happy to be educated lmao.
