i wanna talk for a second about how old everyone on the starblaster was

we know based on just the math of how old he is now that magnus was in his early twenties at the beginning of the mission (if he’s around 33 once ten years have passed) and from the same math we can figure lucretia to be around the same age or a little older if losing time in wonderland puts her in about her 50’s. barry is probably also between 25 and 30

so merle would probably be between 150 and 200 based on dwarf lifespans if we figure that he’s around the same age or a little younger than clint and that would put davenport at about the same age or slightly older because gnomes and dwarves have similar lifespans

and then it’s more difficult with taako and lup but we can put them between 100 and 150 which is equivalent (about) to being in their mid-twenties

i guess i just like the idea that a) dadvenport is pretty accurate age-wise and that he’s this middle aged guy who’s devoted his whole life the mission when SURPRISE he has five new Chaos Children™. he wants to bond with merle over being the only adults but because merle is merle it doesn’t really work (and they bond anyway)

and also b) that the relationship between barry and lup really could not have happened in another circumstance because she would outlive him by 150 years but this way they’re the same age forever and then undead beings together, also forever
