The collective fandom's decision not to find out and not to ask is far more interesting than any single answer could be. It’s a fascinating practice that shapes the way the fandom operates and outlines its boundaries. Cool.

17. Elio. 24. Oliver. The summer. The setting. In a time outside of time and of rules in general, the location of Elio and Oliver’s story is a villa in a tropical setting. The feelings that exist within this sun-drenched bubble are all that seem to matter. But when summer ends and the rest of the world returns to business as usual, the margin of difference in their ages regains its legal and societal consequences.
The story follows this brief period of their lives and their popping. The ages of the two main characters in relation to each other makes their fall from grace even higher. If they were both 20 something years old then their separation would be tragic but the story would not have been as powerful as it is. Instead the author chose to make Elito 17 and Oliver 24 in order to depict the cataclysmic event that occurs when Elito is force to leave the paradise of his first love and is unable to do anything about it.

The show lists Reid as 24 years old at the start of Season 1. Throughout the series his birthday is never actually mentioned. It would be an interesting parallel for a character-driven show with a brilliant somewhat isolated protagonist trying to navigate complex relationships. Instead of a crime solving team though, Alpha Reid would be a modern fantasy where the main character’s unique mind is both his greatest strength and greatest weakness.

Kalau dilihat dari sudut pandang tamu undangan, 'bridesmaid on duty' artinya ada bridesmaid yang memang ditunjuk untuk membantu operasional acara. Mereka biasanya jadi orang yang bisa ditanyain soal tempat duduk, jadwal, dan pengaturan kecil lainnya sehingga tamu nggak perlu langsung mengganggu pengantin.
Di beberapa pesta yang pernah saya hadiri, bridesmaid biasanya juga ikut mengumpulkan kartu ucapan, mengatur sesi foto keluarga, atau membantu tamu yang sudah tua dan anak-anak supaya mereka nyaman. Bagi tamu, ini membuat pengalaman lebih lancar dan lebih sopan karena ada orang spesifik untuk diajak komunikasi. Acara terasa lebih dekat dan hangat. Ada satu hal kecil yang menurut saya membuat acara jadi tampak rapi dan terurus.

Honestly, no. I estimated her to be somewhere in her 80s to early 90s. The MCU has some really faulty timeline work (apparently as told to me by some REALLY smart people). We can work with 1921 as her birth year and 2014 as the movie release, that would make her 93. She looks great for her age though, all energetic and sharp as a tack. The scene in which an elderly lady Steve Rogers visits is so bittersweet because of this temporal gap between the two of them. The guy is a young 20-something in his body, and this woman has spent her entire life without him. That’s a big difference in years. A number really, but also so much more than that in terms of their actual relationship.

This scene gave me chills – child's stubborn love meets adult’s fragile life and somehow both are changed by the encounter. Liam’s redemption is so subtle – shared tea and chores – that it again trusts the reader to grapple with all the storylines left unpropitiously unresolved and to bask in the golden light of the ones that are resolved beautifully. And that last image of the cat in Clara’s lap is simply magical.

When filming ‘Skins’ most of the actors were straight out of school. Joe Dempsie who played Chris was 20 during filming, but the character is much younger than that. The casting team found some great young actors who could portray the struggles of their characters whether it be a first love or dealing with mental health. They found kids who were already living that life. This is why I think ‘Skins’ is such an awesome show and still resonates with lots of people, because it is a snapshot of youth, created by youth.

I made a spreadsheet. It's quite tedious, with all the dialogue dates, newspaper cuttings and characters' ages. So here's the result: Season 1-5: 2005-2007 (Age 26-28). Season 6: 2008-2009 (29). Season 7: 2010 (30). Season 8: 2011 (31). Season 9: 2012 (32). Season 10: 2013 (33). Season 11: 2014 (34). Season 12: 2016-2017 (37-38). Season 13: 2018 (39). Season 14: 2019 (40). Season 15: 2020 (41). The age increases significantly after season 11.

I should also note that your question highlights another important point about the world of this novel: the information and communication technologies of the Teixcalaanli Empire. It is said that the Empire is Information, but in reality the information systems of the Empire control all communication, all surveillance, and all data transfer within it. That the culture of the Empire is very, very old and therefore very, very traditional, and that this coexists with the information and communication technologies of a imperial, totalitarian, high-tech system is one of the main contradictions of the Empire as portrayed in this novel. Poetry, for example, is written on the tablets that serve as interfaces for information within the Empire. It is a beautiful, technologically driven culture that is locked into a very rigid and traditional form.
There is background tech too: the hovering insects that in the space-age future of the novel also keep the air and surfaces clean of decaying matter; the cloudhooks that all the citizens of the empire of Teixcalaan carry with them in their pockets to manage their schedules and to identify themselves wherever they are in the galaxy; the architecture that seems to be alive, and whose very structure seems to be made of responsive systems that conform to the personal style of each individual. The author has chosen not to info-dump all of this tech on the reader, rather she reveals it to us through Mahit’s experience of it, and it feels new and strange and also important to her journey.

Is Fugou Tea Master 15 or 16 in terms of school year? I get those mixed up. Given that we see him at the beginning of the story, I believe him to be 15 years old. Manga data books, as well as fan-made wikis, support this and note that he is 15 at the start of the work. Much like he is an old 30 year old man, often grumpy, the young Master is quite opposite to that in his relentless pursuit ofiets with Itadori. His birthday is in December, which would likely make him one of the older students in his class year. However, that would only place him at 16 for the rest of the first season, not 15. This is very important to understand his past with Tsumiki and his father, Toji, and how those experiences affected him. Most of those awful events happened when he was even younger, though. We aren’t really treated to many monologues by Master about his age, though. His school uniform, and even Gojo’s way of treating the young man as if he were a protégé, while also enjoying to tease the boy, really show just how much his childhood as a child soldier has affected his life, and helped to shape his rather shy nature. He’s a child soldier in every sense of the word, and the story makes that very clear, even when he’s created giant divine dogs or is controlling complex domains.
