here is my one bit of wisdom as a 32 year old with no interest in being a “fandom elder” or “community mom” or whatever -
if someone a little older in your friend group takes care of things and has good advice to offer and whatever, and you all sometimes joke abt them being the mom friend, that’s fine and normal
if someone self declares themselves as the mom friend, and begins to act like that is a role with actual authority, Fucking Run
