*rubs my hands together, shifting through all of my papers scattered about my room* Oh boy howdy here we go then! I'm not sure how clear the games were exactly, so do you have any headcanons for their ages? Like I think stardos could have been anywhere from 13 to 20 when he got got by prof pester. The stress on the transformation could have turned his hair white or maybe it got bleached by the candy? How far apart do you think he and his siblings are?
HAHA OH BOY HAVE I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS QUESTION! i can’t say for certain how old they are in the games but I have some good guesses and i’m pretty certain about what their age gaps are so i’ll start with that.
If you read the storybook you’ll notice there’s some little hints about how much time passes between each sibling. I’m not going to go through it all right now and my guesses probably aren’t perfect but with the information given in the journal i’d put their age gaps at: Dastardos is 3 years older than Leafos, Leafos is 1 year older than Storkos, and Storkos is 5 years older than Seedos (Seedos being the roughest guess, based mostly on the fact that Storkos had to be old enough to read before coming home to the Island for the first time)
As for how old they actually are in the games and when the incident takes place? well I like to think that the first game and the second game are two years apart, and that their ages from Classic to Trouble in Paradise are:
mainly because i see Seedos as on the young side, but Storkos can’t be any younger than 18, so this is just how they placed in my head! even before analyising the storybook more closely this was about what i’d guessed for them
then for the incident, i put that as seven years prior to the first game, Stardos being 15, Leafos being 12, Storkos being 11 and Sidos being 6
Or those are all my thoughts at least and you’re welcome to disagree! and I have more rough age headcanons for the other characters but i need to think all of those through a lot more and could change easily, these are the most solid age headcanons i have!
