Somehow, despite my meticulous research and information retaining skills, I've been writing Desmond’s DOB as 1984 instead of 1987

I've been using this date and Alex's DoB to figure out when things happen in the timeline. I already got screwed over once when I found out Alex was born in 1979 and Dana was 9 years younger, and had to change a bunch of things around to make them fit the original canon, but this?? this might be (strained squeaky voice) a small problem

#bro how old is everyone???!#why was i lead astray?#damn wiki and art books and other sources reporting differenr info about ages and dates #on one hand this could be good bc Alex has to be over 21 due to his recruitment age for Gentek #which has made their first meeting really weird bc Desmond would've been 18 and Alex 23 #which isn't too much of a gap and they were both at a college party so no one was carding anyone at the time #but then i found out alex was born in 1979 which would make him like 26 which was kinda uncomfortable with him merting Des at 18 #but if i change Des dob to 1984 instead of 1987 like i have been this entire time #then hes 21 when he and Alex meet who is ~26 at the time #i kinda like that a lot more #since that means Des has Elijah at around 21 it means he and Clay get more time to hang out #and Des has more time to get used to being away from the farm too #idk #i was upset but this ended up being quite fortuitous for me #also how is it thay i have two chapters for permutation 1 before penn #also for all the predictive powers desmond/reader has they cannot predict alex #hes too much of a loose canon to be tracked. at any given time #whatever whatever when you find out new shir you just gotta adapt!! thats all!
