We had that with Terminator 2. Although I guess she was technically the mother of the "chosen one" but she still rocks.

Yes please. With low energy, not being rich, chores piling up and sudden body aches. I want to read about people with this start and how they can get it done, still exhausted and dirty piles of dishes - without suddenly getting strong or rich. Just biting through / keep going just like us but with a happy end, telling us the secret of going on.... Or so 😅 I want to see solutions and try outs in a good story that I can also test

I agree. For some reason a mother is one of the most dangerous things to have as an enemy.

There’s a ttrpg podcast I love where the chosen is in fact a cranky 30 or 40 something park ranger who is terrible at lying and spends a solid chunk of time yelling at the magician for setting a fire in his forest.

Biting monsters - "Have you met my kids?" Stressed situation - "huh, I've seen this before " Fighting with swords - "Hey! Watch where you put that thing! One more time and I WILL take it from you."

OK I think I know the answer to this. We all do, really. A teenager can be manipulated or molded into whatever is needed for saving the universe. Good luck trying that trick with a 42-year-old mom.

Why does it have to be a mom, specifically? Any 42-year-old is bound to have seen some s**t and is out of f***s to give, so even if they're not a parent, they'd qualify.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorverse one of the better series that deal with adults, but also extended lifespans, so you have active characters over age 100.

There are many more than people realize. Also, a person who is supposed to save the world in their 20s will likely need to start training when they are a teeenager, so that is when they discover it. The ridiculous thing is that they learn that they are the savior of the world when they are 14, and by the age of 15 are trained as The Best Warrior In The World. There are a few interesting versions in which the hero/heroine discover that they are supposed to save the world as teenagers, freak out, and hide away for years.

Most of the characters in the "Tales of Pell" series are adults. None are teenage-angsty. Excellent books btw.

There's this really great short story by Brandon Sanderson where a bunch of demon hunters (I think they're demon hunters? They hunt some sort of scary monster things) are at a pub getting drinks after a night of hunting, talking about the legendary demon hunter who no one has seen in person, but who gets the most bounties ever, and how he's awesome and they wish they could be like him, and then the middle-aged lady who owns the pub serves them drinks and overhears them and smirks and it turns out SHE'S the legendary demon hunter and nobody knows, and the story shifts and she's the main character, and it's awesome. Anyway.

PWF paranormal women's fiction. A lot of the chosen ones are going through menopause. They are widowed or divorced, mothers, grandmothers, just seen a lot. Some of these books are awesome! Check it out.

"Chosen one" movies are usually about changing things / a brighter future. A young person represents the future better than grandma. And they are often presenting a different way of thinking about things than the "establishment" of adults around them. That's the logic (I suppose), but I get where OP is coming from. It reminds me of those Youtube videos that claim everyone is doing something simple wrong. "Bananas - EVERYONE is eating them the WRONG WAY!" lol

There’s a webcomic (I can’t recall the name of it) where some heroes seek out the teenage girl who helped them seal away a demon as he’s gotten loose again. Turns out, the girl they think is her is the actual chosen one’s daughter. The one they’re actually seeking is now a middle aged woman woman.

While some might argue that memes have gotten “weirder” over the years, if you take a trip back in time and go through the internet of the '90s and early 2000s, you’ll find that things were already a tad strange, unusual, and niche. Dancing animals, the often incomprehensible-to-outsiders rage comics, and inside jokes on top of inside jokes. 

The truth is, the speed and ease of use the internet brings allows basically every community with a common language (or even concepts) to create and share memes among itself. This is why every demographic, fandom, and profession has a meme page just for it.

Absolutely. And it doesn't even have to be a New Year's resolution. I have set myself challenges that every month I have to watch one documentary. Or how many different genres of movies I can watch in a year. Different music styles, food culture of different countries, etc. A month when I dedicate myself to the history of art, architecture... The possibilities are endless and at the same time you learn something new.

I am sorry but I seriously can't wrap my head around the fact that people can't built the IKEA furniture... It is so so easy with step by step instructions, pictures.... How can someone fail at this.. (no need to answer. I seriously lack the imagination of not understanding too put part A to Part A....)

I pick up accents quite fast, my English accent is from watching Morse about a hundred times, my french accent is that of a Marseillan dock workers as I spent a year working in a shipyard at Marseille at 18. I did get a slight Irish accent at one point when I was dating a Irish man, but a few episodes of Morse made it go away again.

As a parent of an adult who is neurodivergent, I always wondered if organizations ever consulted with people who were neurodivergent on doing this if it would affect them in any negative way like it did this one individual. My daughter used to always ask me if we could please turn off the porch lights for the people who put blue bulbs in.
