thenightling said: @dear-miss-fantasy Welcome to realistic perceptions of immortality. There’s no real reason they would experience time differently if they are interacting with humans, watching human entertainments, speaking to humans, watching sunsets or strolling at night.

thenightling said: I do online role playing games and many years ago I came across someone who took this “Time moves differently for supernatural beings” idea to a ridiculous extreme. This girl playing a vampire insisted vampires have their own language, and that it’s “Just like English only much slower.” She was dead serious. Years later when Finding Nemo had Dora speaking Whale I was like “That’s it! That’s that girl’s vampire language!”

thenightling said: I can’t tell you how relieved I was that this was addressed bluntly in the very first issue of The Sandman. It made dealing with arguments of “but seventy-two-years should be nothing to him” so much easier. Because everyone latches on to that kind-of-bland and not very logical idea that supernatural beings on our plane should experience time differently for some reason.

thenightling said: @thenightling they talk at human speed, watch human entertainments, walk among humans. There’s no logical reason for any supernatural being to really feel time differently from humans other than a lazy and uncreative observation of “But when I was six the summers seemed so much longer!”

thenightling said: @ambular-d Neil doesn’t seem to practice the cliche (and illogical) trope that immortals perceive time differently from humans. Do you even know where that lore came from? Someone noticed that to a small child ten years is very long while to a fifty-year-old it can feel very fast but as adults our sense of time is pretty consistent. When you’re a little child your perception of reality is askew. There’s no reason for them to feel time differently than humans do,
