Okay, I see the need for Jaskier not to age and I 100% agree with everything you said because he's my child but I have a question and I'm new to the fandom and I haven't seen or read anything other than the Netflix show so this is an honest question: what do we actually know about Jaskier's past? And, follow up question, apart from witchers and mages, what other sorts of things age slowly or don't age, and couldn't he be one of them? I see a lot of fic opportunities here. Thank you!

We’re in the same boat! I’m also very, very new to this fandom - all I know is from the show (never played the games, never read the books, etc.) and then things I’ve picked up here and there, so I’m gonna try and answer this question to the best of my ability.

From what I can tell, I *think* all we know about Jaskier is that his full name is actually Julian Alfred Pankratz, Viscount de Lettenhove, which indicates some sort of affluent childhood (maybe the equivalent of modern day upper-middle class? who knows) or a noble lineage, at the very least. We don’t know anything about his parents, so if the writers are in the mood to do some ret-conning and make him part-elf or something, that could also explain why he ages slower.

And I think that gets to the second part of your question! Besides elves, who in the show also age slower, I’m not clear if there are any other sorts of magical creatures, or creatures forged in magic (like witchers) who also age slowly. But probably! I feel like with this kind of fantasy world, anything is possible.
