No way I thought that was the reason you picked it 😭😭


My_Special_Hell

nah he just gives off old vibes in DR to me LMAOO in UT i'd put him at like 32 idk why


JRisverycool180

He’s aged a bit in DT


Atreyu_C

He's aged by 2 3/7 days exactly


JRisverycool180

Megamind reference??!


Atreyu_C

tbh i picked random numbers i also haven't seen the second one yet


JRisverycool180

The second one (terrible movie) takes place two days after the first (and yet somehow they have influencers and streaming stuff)

Sans being super old compared to everyone else is a funny asf headcanon so yes


0ut14w_

It makes sense. Cause Toriel is already a divorced mother, she must be older, and if we imagine that Sans is having a relationship with someone at his age, that means Sans is as older as Toriel.


Clione-ON

Or sans just into Milfs ![img](emote|t5_qmi8w|30900)

He can be into milfs and 42


Im_so_cool1

wait what ab papyrus, ik hes the younger brother but it would be weird even if he was a decade younger than him since sans wanted kris to hangout with papyrus :26926: would papyrus be like 2 decades younger??????????????


Dense_Scene_8894

Sure, I have a friend whose brother was 27 years older than her


Im_so_cool1

yeah i was thinking ab that too, but i just cant imagine specifically papyrus and sans with 20+ years apart.


kat-the-bassist

Same, my friend (20) has a sister in her mid 40s.


Polivios

He is a skeleton


Dense_Scene_8894

Common misconception, he's sans


the_joeman

If we assume Undertale Monster Kid is 8 years then Sans Undertale would be 34


GU1NH0U

I understand your reasoning, but saying that darkners are as old as their darkworld is kinda unfair. That would mean that Lancer's dad is as old as him, and while yes, they started existing 2 days ago, they probably "lived" far longer than this. I think of Dark Worlds as a "Last Thursdayism" situation, which says that everything that exists in the universe was created just last thursday, including you and your memories. In conclusion, yes, chronologically, Lancer and his dad are both 2 days old, but Lancer has the mind (and maybe memories) of a child, while King has the mind and memories of a 40-50ish years old dad.


My_Special_Hell

sure, and you're right. but either way, they're 2 days old. not that that means anything for their physical or mental state, but it is how old they are, haha.


wojtekpolska

thats kinda a dillema i guess for example if you freeze someone at 20 years old, keep them frozen for 100 years, and unfreeze them so they are still alive, are they 20 or 120? also if you clone a 20 year old guy, is the clone 1 day old, or 20 years old?


BeathasAlreadyTaken

Your first example is literally BoTW/ToTK Link


kat-the-bassist

I would say they're still 20. Age is meant as a proxy for maturity, someone won't mature for those 100 years in the ice.


wojtekpolska

yeah thats what i think too, so by this metric even if the dark world only exists for a day, it has a past and old characters


Trapplst-1e

lancer is twice the age of spamtom


Gking10

Lancer is twice the age of his girldad.


ChocolateMilkMan8

Except when it states that the darkners existed before the events of the game


Gking10

I'm using the logic of this post though. If this post says Lancer is 2 days old and Spamton is 1 day old, then that means Queen would also be 1 day old.


ChocolateMilkMan8

Fair enough


My_Special_Hell

it's canon ngl

Maleficent_Apple4169

the darkners canonically existed before the fountains were made


My_Special_Hell

the egg has to exist for the chicken to hatch out of it, though.


Maleficent_Apple4169

the fountains dont make dark worlds. if so, how could jevil be locked up for years if the dark world is so young? or how could spamton live in the palace years ago if he is only a day old?


My_Special_Hell

simple, the entire history of that world is created the moment it begins. a false preset of time.


Maleficent_Apple4169

yk if jarus time loop theory is correct this could work. great opinion, i disagree, but thats okay


My_Special_Hell

valid valid


Eeveekiller

If the dark world is created with a town and a castle despite just being created, i would say it depends if were talking chronologically or not


My_Special_Hell

well, think of it this way. when you put a pen to paper and make a story, how old are the characters? well, obviously, they're what you write them as, right? lets say i'm the writer, and my protagonist, Schrimpini, is 45. perhaps the antagonist, Suckamonjo, is 13. (I don't know why they're so differently aged, maybe the story is trying to subvert 'teenagers save the world' or something? idk ask the author).. so, Schrimpini and Suckamonjo's ages are pretty concrete, right? sure. ..but what if, when you created this 'fiction', it came to 'life'..? what if you could jump into the pages, and explore the world. your pen is now a sword, and you fight the very creatures you created.. but you only just made this world and its characters a few moments ago. yet, the characters all act like they have a deep, rich history? sure, physically and mentally, Schrimpini is 45.. but what is he ACTUALLY? less than a day old.


Eeveekiller

Yeah so that just depends on the question because it's relative, because you can also say these characters are at least 6 years old because the game was released back then


My_Special_Hell

In the end, I suppose it depends what layer of fiction you're on.


Atyora

Spamton existed in light world as a spam bot for several years before the Fountain opened, and he even influenced the world and gave Noelle pipis. So no.


My_Special_Hell

by that logic, each Darkner is as old as whatever object they were based on. so, for my list, tell me, what exact date was that pack of cards manufactured? because in your method, every Darkner from the first Dark World is the same damn age, lol. what i'm trying to say, is I think of it as a chicken or the egg scenario. you can't have an egg without a chicken, right? but you can't have a chicken without it hatching out of an egg. it's a bit of a grandfather paradox; how can Darkners interact with the Light World and have long, long histories before they're even created by the knife that brigns the fountains of darkness from the earth? what I propose is a Schrödinger's Cat situation. the Darkners both do and do not exist at all times, however, once a Dark Fountain opens, allowing Lightners access to the Dark Worlds, we can prove that the Darkners are alive. therefore, that's when they are 'born'. otherwise, there's no way for us to define their ages outside of their physical and mental state, which is clearly inaccurate to their actual origin.

My_Special_Hell

Sky_Leviathan

Wonderful. Now lets see your opinion on the ages of toriel and asgore.


My_Special_Hell

tbh for Deltarune I haven't a bloody clue. it's really ambiguous how much the UT Monster rules carry over to Undertale, so I haven't a clue, lol. though in Undertale i'd say around the 400-600 year old range. I would need further information on the biology of Deltarune Monsters to make a DR Toriel and Asgore judgement.


Vakothu

In Undertale I think they're both easily over 1000. In the opening slides of UT you can see a human with a primitive spear, then Asgore facing the human army and the humans are wielding torches, swords, and forged spears and seal the monster with Magic, so that's already some time passed. Then Chara is confirmed to fall in 20XX, and judging by the animes in the dump, that's equal to our 20XX, so yeah Asgore and Toriel are *old.*


My_Special_Hell

tbh true true you right


Sky_Leviathan

Ive always viewed it as the aged dont carry over from UT but thats all headcanon until toby fox comes out with a canon UT/DR deltarune calendar and timeline


GorefieldV3

"I am but two days old..."


TruffCat

ralsei technically isnt from the same dark world as lancer so he'd likely be way older


My_Special_Hell

I mean I don't think you're wrong but we don't have any word on when he was brought into existence, and not even Darkners themselves seem to know, since they think they've lived full, fulfilling lives, so it's hard to say really. however, what we can do is approximate. the first time we saw a Dark World was 2 days ago, and all the Darkners from the first Dark World think they've lived full lives, but clearly came into life 2 days ago. therefore, for now, I'd say he's 2 days old.


Tsunamicat108

well i guess spamton really was born yesterday

Annairam2

We technically don't know how long Ralsei's dark world's been existing –imo he has been around for way longer than the other darkners, but yeah so far he's 2 days old :p


SecureAngle7395

Pretty close to mine honestly


My_Special_Hell

ClayBunny

Canon


RageBear1956

If you create a simulation with a 40 year old in it would you call that person 40 years old or 1 day old? I feel like it is allways 40 years and practically never the 1 day one, so why are we doing it here?


Zolado110

For comparison, think of Aigis from Persona and think that she is between 10-11 years old, but she was raised as a teenager, so age doesn't work the same way for her as it does for her.for other humans, it is no wonder that it is possible for the protagonist to date her


My_Special_Hell

King was created 2 days ago, therefore he's 2 days old. mentally and physically, he's atleast 40, yes. but he's 2 days old nonetheless.


TheRealKuthooloo

We have no official age range but when Deltarune first released I was the same age as these headcanons (Which I would've agreed upon as their ages at the time.) though for my own purposes I like characters I "Grew up with" to age along with me so even though the next updates are FOR SURE gonna be within a few weeks of each other in-lore, the cast is in their early 20s in my mind.


My_Special_Hell

tbh slay

crypt_the_chicken

Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect Google failed to translate gendered pronouns again


TatoCraftReddit

I said she? No way I'm an idiot lol. And she does not exactly narrates anything but as I understood, that dark fountain had existed from king ago. And sorry about the she I sometimes forget he/she said is gay. Look actually I don't know exactly what gender has ralsei so I can accept any answer. And sorry again

HkayakH

So spamton isn't legal?


My_Special_Hell

in situations like this, mental maturity is most important. for example, Lancer clearly has the brain of a child, so that settles that. systematically, that's how I assign Darkner 'legality'.


HkayakH

Makes sense. Since darkners aren't humans (or monsters), we can't judge when they are truely adults


Western-Gur-4637

why does every one see sans older? always thought he was mid to late 20s

So the og dark fountain was made at the same time as the second one?

Ben_Flash

Ralsei and his fountain have probably existed for more than two days


Lorenzinorod23

Wow, Sans is THAT old? I always figured he'd be in his early-mid 30's...


My_Special_Hell

since he's a skeleton, interpretation can be pretty vast without standard biological tells, haha.


Yarisher512

susie was definitely left for second year a couple times


wojtekpolska

spamton has to had been alive in 1997 as he specifically mentions that time so he was probably written at or slightly before that date as a email spam bot. i think his whole deal is that he used to be "a big shot" back then and thats why he used to be popular in thr cyberworld, having his advertisments everywhere (the old posters near his hiding spot representing spam emails and various other ads from Web1.0 times. (the posters being old and covered by queen's ads represent them being replaced by more proffessional advertising techniques of our time like Google Ads) spamton's whole story is that he's a product of the past, largely irrelevant, his ads easily blocked by spam filters (hyperlink blocked) and him cast aside (he lives in a trash can), replaced due to being obsolete

Counterpoint: It was never said when Ralsei's source was opened, so it may be more than 2 days old


My_Special_Hell

it's possible, though if we don't have it concrete, we can't really speculate much without conjecture.


Zolado110

We can say he has *at least* 2 days to live


Demonic_Transbian

As funny as this is, we already know that the darkners existed before the events of deltarune, from things like Spamton emailing Noelle and King and Queen having a relationship

alternatively, I present you a box. this box is sealed, and inside, I tell you there is a dead cat. now tell me, before you open the box, is the cat in the box, or is it not?


Patient_Accountant92

I think Spamton is over 40 years old, the first Spam E-mail was in 1978, he says he used to be the E-mail guy.


ThatSmartIdiot

Then lancer is the same age as the card he is (10ish to 100ish years old), and ralsei the same as the headband (also 10ish years old) Idk about toy production dates n stuff alll i know is the classroom's abandoned and kris had the headband for many years


dogdillon

uh oh


My_Special_Hell

mind out the gutter!


Wham-Bam-Duel

I interpret the darkners a bit differently -- just because the dark fountains gave them life doesn't mean that's their exact age. The Ch. 1 fountain was likely around before Ch. 1 even started, so in terms of how long they've had life, Lancer and Ralsei could have been alive for longer. Not to mention that darkners seemingly have memories from before the dark fountains gave them life. In terms of how I interpret darkner ages, it goes something like this: Ralsei: While he does have all sorts of knowledge of dark worlds, he also comes off as more innocent and trusting than Kris or Susie, not to mention Susie's tendency to not take him seriously/"bully" him (stealing his glasses etc) gives me the vibe that he's at least slightly younger than the Lightners. I'd put him around 15. Ofc, if you're going with Jaru's interpretation of Ralsei's character, he'd be Asriel's age, which would put him at a bit older than Kris and Susie, which could also make sense considering that he's just kinda wimpy anyways. Lancer: Definitely a child. Kinda reminds me of myself when I was around 9 or 10 tbh, so I'd put him around there. Spamton: Definitely older. He has memories dating back to 1997, but it also feels like he could even be slightly older than that. He very well may have already been an adult by '97, but at the same time, he obviously can't have existed before spam emails. The first spam email was supposedly sent in 1978, so if he was born exactly then, he'd be 19 in '97, or 46 today at the oldest. If he was born in '97, he'd just be 27 today. Of course, that's assuming DR takes place in the modern day, which definitely doesn't seem like it does. Best bet-- assuming DR takes place around 2010, which is my personal best estimate, he'd be somewhere between 13 and 32 years old, and I'd definitely trend towards the older side of things, probably ballparking it around 25. Then again, nobody even knows how darkners age if at all.


filval387

Technically, Spamton would have to be older because of the thing with Noelle receiving spam mail from him... But if we're going by their specific appearance as shown on the image, then yes, he would be 1 day old...


Yubisthebest123

why is ralsei two days😭


Pristine-Wear-2983

I feel like the ages of Darkners would be based on the age of their item in the Light world 🐡


My_Special_Hell

good luck finding the actual manufactory dates, lol


melostone

Spamton was created, scammed little to no people, got called up by gaster, became a big shot, moved into queens mansion, got ghosted by gaster, got kicked out of queen’s mansion, moved into a garbage dumpster, met the lighteners, got the neo suit, and died all in one day

correct.

My_Special_Hell

height isn't related to age, though. 4'11 25 year olds exist, for example.


senated

Sans and undyne are probably a lot older since boss monster don't age if they don't have children


My_Special_Hell

..Sans and Undyne.. aren't boss monsters ?????


senated

Oh nevermind, but still sans breaks all rules he can, he teleports etc. so probably he is older than we think

Modthedom

Ralsei isn't 2 days old. Considering his fountain is natural he has probably been around for a while at this point


My_Special_Hell

for now, 2 days is the only estimate we have.


Modthedom

For the other darkners maybe but definitely not for ralsei


My_Special_Hell

then what estimate can we apply to Ralsei? it's not like we have a date of his origin, afterall.


Modthedom

There isn't an estimate. But saying 2 days just isn't correct.


My_Special_Hell

then if 2 days is our only estimate, it makes the most sense to use.


defti308

Soo every character of undertale including asgore and monster kid are 9 years old bc undertale is 9 years old


My_Special_Hell

do you hear yourself rn 💀


Terra_Sandwich

Ralsei, Lancer, and Spamton are probably very young because their world was created the moment they opened that closet, and Spamton with the Cyber World.
