Maybe unpopular opinion. My biggest pet peeve is seeing fanart of Caleb Widogast, who is canonically 33, drawn to look like he's a haggard 50 year old. Like, come on. I know a lot of the younglings think that once you hit 30 you're “ancient”, but do they know any 30 somethings? And seeing how Fjord is similar in age I still don't know why 33 year old Caleb is always the only one portrayed as like the token old guy of the group. I'm not talking just “oh he's a dirty hobo who's been weathered” look either. He's drawn with wrinkles and gaunt bone structure like youd use to denote a middle aged man. Hell, some of these depictions make Caleb look older than any of the real people in the cast of CR! Doesn't make me feel great as a (as if a few days ago) 32 year old fan in this community who definitely didn't immediately get wrinkles and age spots the moment I hit 30. It feels like a lot of fans hear “this is Caleb, he's 33” and immediately associate him as “the old guy.”
