if a human asks a gnome when gnomes reach adulthood, they'll probably pin it somewhere between 20 and 40, depending on how they're interpreting the question; if an elf asks, they'll say "oh, we don't"
#speaking of 'getting mad because people don't meaningfully engage with fantasy lifespans'
#EVERYONE overlooks the cultural nuance in dnd that elves are /physically/ mature not much later than humans
#but are not considered an adult until some self-declared point of maturity usually around the age of 100
#that is. DIFFERENT. than 'a 50 year old elf is basically a literal child' no it ISN'T! it's a CULTURAL RECOGNITION
#elves don't think it's possible for humans to mature into a really meaningful adulthood because they literally don't live long enough
#'poor things have to settle down and work and marry and have children and die before they can even figure themselves out :/'
#gnomes don't subscribe to this because of course they don't it's a cultural viewpoint but also they largely think it's stupid
#oh yeah? you're all done growing up after 100 years? nothing left to learn about yourself as a person?
#you Become An Adult when you're Wise And Mature which is a single static thing that happens in the first 1/6th of your life?
#wow amazing it must be cool to be so enlightened 🙄

#I guess for now
#gnome thoughts
#it's almost entirely elf thoughts but that's my only relevant established tag :'D
