Deciding to post this now because I figured it could help keep Wander Over Yonder trending a little longer.
Okay, I know there’s actually a canon answer as to why Wander didn’t appear to age a day since Major Threat was a villain, but aged significantly in the time he was working at the Wright Place with Sylvia (For anyone who doesn’t know, some of the crew members said that Wander is actually very old, and aging very slowly (if at all) but pretended to age so that Sylvia wouldn’t feel bad)
BUT, I love seeing alternate theories as to why Wander aged more while working at the Wright Place (Not that I don’t love the canon answer, alternate theories regarding this topic just fascinate me for some reason). I don’t know if the people who make these alternate theories just don’t know the canon answer or, like me, just enjoy alternate theories, but whatever the reason I love them. So I have one of my own, based on this post
If you don’t want to click the link it suggests a world where everyone ages until they are 18, and then stop aging until they meet their soulmate, that way you could grow old with your soulmate
I’ve seen this post so many times with so many different reblogs. Some suggesting platonic soulmates (which I enjoyed) and it got me thinking about Wander. What if the reason he doesn’t age is because he’s a creature who’s from this type of universe. He didn’t age when reforming Major Threat because he hadn’t met his soulmate yet. But he did age at the Wright Place because his soulmate (whether romantic or platonic, it doesn’t matter how you look at it) is Sylvia.
Just think about that for a moment
