#which is actually funny bc I've had this idea for a fic from a longass time ago stuck in my head this week

10 for Edge?

What age do they most want to be right now?

Ooh what an interesting question! I thought about it for a minute, mulled it bit, and I think honestly he’s generally fine with his age, either above ground or underground, or perhaps would rather be a little older. So like, if he’s in his early 20s underground, he’s rather be in his late 20s or early 30s, and a similar difference on the surface once he'd be more mid-late 20s (like, late 30s).

I generally like to hc monsters age much more slowly than humans, but more so than physical age he’d mostly want the experience that comes with it. He always feels a little...inexperienced, for where he'd like to be. It's mostly because of that messed up sense of self stuff, so he generally kind of feels like he’s more so successfully pretending to be what he is than actually being it. But of course, as is usually the nature of aging, he'd hope that the feeling would lessen as he settled in more.

Whether or not that would actually help is anyone's guess (it wouldn't), but at least Undyne and Sans wouldn't treat him like a kid if they were closer in age (they still would).
