@Dionysus: I avoid thinking about the loli side of the trope, but I was also thinking about borderline immortal characters that are stuck as teenagers or even choose to be too... I rewatched the first Twilight movie with some friends last year, and Edward Cullen's "how long have you been 17" was fucking hilarious but also... Grow up, dude! Of all the things you can do in life, and you just go to high school over and over.
Kitsune by @ratacombs (Capy)
Drafted OC I never drew again. (I'd like to, though...) I got tired of how immortal characters were often stuck as children or teenagers so here's a kitsune that's either 200 or 2000 years old but roughly 40 biologically.

@ratacombs: Sorry, dumb brain thought that phrase had become a general expression. Yeah, even in kids' shows I've always felt arresting development for anything other than ghosts is odd at best and cosmic cruelty at worst. Funnily enough, I remember a Twilight critique zeroing in on Edward's schooling... or perhaps lack thereof if he's always repeating the grade. XD
Soft magic fox is a shortcut to my heart (though given I've got a vulpine alt avatar, I'm an easy mark). :p
Is the thousand-year loli that common outside anime? I can't imagine its appeal beyond people who are probably already on a watchlist. I've toyed around with ditzy characters, but even my "young" (< centenarian) immortals reflexively evoke mature airs befitting their experience.
So yeah, I can imagine Wine Aunt is done with this shit.
