Tumblr booted me as I was answering this - tl;dr ignoring the storyline and doing napkin math, she’s over 700 years old

Wizards canonically age differently than we do. According to a forum post staff made, Ambrose is at least 2000 years old (likely older, but 2000 minimum, and it’s a nice round number so I’m using it) and in our terms he’s approximately the equivalent of a 90 year old.

Morganthe’s visual design is heavily based on her voice actor Lilas Lane (they really do look the same) who would have been about 45 years old when Khrysalis came out in 2013. But Lilas Lane has aged very well, and I always saw Morganthe as the equivalent of a 35 year old in Khrys, so for the sake of the conservative estimate I’ll use 35

So if you scale wizards’ ages to ours (I’ll admit this is making a lot of assumptions but we don’t have a lot to go on here), the most conservative estimate you’d get of her age, assuming Ambrose is 2000 years old and the equivalent of 90-100, and that Morganthe is the equivalent of 35, is… 700-780, approximately. This estimate goes up if you believe Ambrose is older (2000 years is how long he’s been studying magic, if he spent an equal amount of time goofing off who am I to judge?), or that Morganthe’s equivalent age is older/closer to Lilas Lane’s.

I always headcanon’d her to be around 500 actually, but “somewhere in her hundreds at least, but realistically not older than 1000” is as close to canon as you’re gonna get

wizard101 people - how old is morganthe?? i am unclear on this because how is it possible that she went to war with celestia centuries prior but also was young while artorious was king? is this a plothole or is there weird time-related fuckery going on that i'm not getting?

If we’re gonna talk about Shu being down bad for Valt, we gotta talk about Valt being equally (if not more so) down bad for Shu.

In Burst, Valt’s launch power literally increased almost double in his battle with Naoki after making eye contact with Shu. Shu’s influence on Valt is scientifically measurable, and it’s at least four times as high as even Rantaro’s influence. Valt goes on a paranoid rampage when the idea of Jin injuring Shu is suggested to him. Valt has a crisis when he realizes just how badly Shu’s shoulder is hurting him. During the team battles, Valt is constantly double-checking his decisions with Shu. Valt ugly-cries at the mere thought of Shu not being his friend. Valt’s singular motivation the entire first season is to battle Shu in the Nationals. My guy ain’t even subtle about it.

Evolution/God? Oh, don’t get me started. Valt was devastated that Shu wasn’t answering his letters. His only reason for hating Red Eye at first is that Red Eye has Shu’s Spryzen. (In the manga, he casually bodied a fucking jaguar because Shu was the only thought in his mind.) The Red Eye reveal didn’t faze him for long, but Shu’s dismissal of him had him in tears. His entire emotional dilemma during the International Bladers’ Cup boils down to wondering whether or not Shu has changed for good. Valt can’t manage to be mad at him for ten consecutive minutes.

In Turbo/Cho-Z, if Shu has no fans, Valt is dead.

Surge/Sparking brought back some light angst, but the moment Valt saw how Shu was battling with Lain as his partner, all doubt disappeared from his mind. It was Valt’s idea to have the tag battle vs Hyuga and Hikaru. Valt had undying faith that Shu could absolutely change Lain. Valt’s comedically shocked reaction when Hyuga says he doesn’t know who Shu is was also funny.

I haven’t rewatched the questionably canon QuadStrike in a while, but you can’t tell me Valt didn’t feel Some Type Of Way about Shu dressed in a lab coat.

In conclusion: Shu may be gay for Valt, but Valt is so gay for Shu it started a butterfly effect that leads to the rest of the series.

Reminder of a Starline themed BumbleKast Q&A where Ian Flynn as Starline talks about what he would have done with Sonic and Tails bodies after the events of Issue 50: [ Tw! Child Death + Taxidermy ]

Starline is such a genuinely terrifying character (who I miss everyday ahh) and his disregard for children and his willingness to mentally and physically manipulate them for his own evil purposes (especially in the context of this answer) is genuinely chilling. It’s something I think even Eggman would be semi disturbed by which is saying a lot.

The idea of him using Sonic and Tails preserved bodies as trophies and as an example to others is so insanely horrifying, and the “well then I’ll just have to start a gallery won’t I!” in response to the idea of other hero’s trying to rise up against him somehow finds a way to make it extra disturbing. The mental image of Amy, Knuckles and all their other friends seeing what Starline has done to the brothers… to their family 💔

The thought of Surge and Kit having a constant physical reminder of what they’ve done… that while Sonic and Tails may be out the way, the two unwilling doppelgangers will forever be in their shadow, unable to truly fill the roles they were forced into and the bond the brothers had. Them getting everything they thought they wanted, yet still feeling empty inside.

Long story short: Ian Flynn did not need to go this crazy with this answer but gosh am I glad he did.

People love to shit talk myth but I once saw a myth summon a 0 pip minion and immediately next turn sacrifice it for 400 health for 1 pip. Big brain activity right there.

“Ash cheated his way through the Indigo league by making the gym leaders feel sorry for him!” Yeah well in the Indigo League anime, the gym leaders would also just actually try to fucking kill him so I think he gets a pass.
