#I have a chat fic in drafts centered around Charlie and vaggie on this

[ahli-stuff]

I really want to to read some fanfiction or look at some fanart that explores Charlie’s age (since i heard it was said that she’s at least 200 ish??) in relation to the younger sinners in hell

Because even in canon she definitely feels younger than characters like Husk, Alastor, Angel, and even Vaggie but in reality charlie was like.. around since the like.. horse and wagon days u know?? She’s older than all of them.

while she is not Lucifer levels of “beyond the trifles of human affairs” she was around for the era of which humanity had exponential levels of expansion and advancement in technology. Unless it turns out she’s been like extremely sheltered and cooped up, Charlie seen some of the absolute worst of sinners but also has been able to bear witness to the absolute genius of them—the invention of the first telephone, typewriters, phonographs (oh, she would’ve loved them when they came out), cameras, and the list goes on. With that kind of age and experience there also comes a kind of wisdom, which is why I don’t really buy that she’s that naïve or (completely) blindly optimistic. I really want Charlie to be optimistic in spite of the evil in hell instead of Charlie being optimistic because she’s oblivious.

It would be fun if she were to have an interaction with another character where she is able to show a surprising bit of nostalgia, maybe referencing an musical or a book that used to be popular. I mean her dress style does bear a striking resemblance this one ref of an 1880s tux I found, especially the shoes (what is the name of these types of shoes??). Going by that, I assume it means that for all that Charlie has kept up with the times there are still things that even she can’t let go of.
