something something jin ling’s grief over his parents, especially jin zixuan, is constantly invalidated and made fun of by everyone except jiang cheng

As a follow-up to Junior Quartet Heightcanons, here is Junior Quartet Agecanons (with birthdays!):

Sizhui's canon birthday is January 12th and to me he's the oldest.

Lan Jingyi's canon birthday is August 24th, and since Sizhui's birthday is typically before the Lunar New Year, he's technically a year younger than Sizhui but by American counting also the same age.

Ouyang Zizhen does not have a canon birthday, but I read somewhere that for characters without birthdays it's supposed to be the release date of the chapter in which they first appeared? That makes his birthday August 10th, and I would say he's a year younger than Jingyi, technically two years younger than Sizhui.

Jin Ling's canon birthday is November 21st and we know he was born when Sizhui was 3-4, I prefer 3 almost 4. So he's four years (3 years 10 months) younger than Sizhui, technically three years younger than Jingyi, and two years younger than Zizhen.

This makes Zizhen the middlest child of the four (two years younger than the oldest, two years older than the youngest), which explains why people always forget about him. 😂

So in fics using the 13 year gap between Wei Wuxian's death and resurrection (which are most of mine), this would make the ages in the present 17 (Sizhui), 16/17 (Jingyi), 15 (Zizhen) and 13 (Jin Ling).

In fics using the 16 year gap from cql, the ages are 20 (Sizhui), 19/20 (Jingyi), 18 (Zizhen), and 16 (Jin Ling).

For those wondering about Sizhui's age being 4 when Wei Wuxian died, even though I said 3 years 10 months for when Jin Ling was born.... It depends on whether you think Wei Wuxian was going to Jin Ling's 1 month or 100 day celebration. If it was his 1 month, Sizhui was still 3. If it was his 100 day, that's a little over three months, so Sizhui was 4 by then. Personally, I usually go by the 100 day so that's how the present ages are calculated!

Please don't fight about which canon is "correct" in the notes, this post is not about that. This post is about having fun regardless of what canon does or doesn't say.

I'd love to go to this castle and save its kingdom from whatever darkness is plaguing it.

Lan Jingyi: I have the best idea

Lan Jingyi: I'm going to write my essay that's due tomorrow while drinking wine

Lan Jingyi: that'll get it done within the night

Lan Jingyi, 2 hours later, asleep: ...
