Sooo... hypothetical question: given that the space-time continuum is kinda lookin' the other way here, how do birthdays work? If you've spent a year in this dimension, but only a few minutes have passed back home, does that time count towards your actual age?

How do you know how much time passed back home?

I've tended toward just keeping my actual birthday, especially as it's on my IDs. But for celebrations? You could always have a different sort of party on the arrival of your anniversary. Some people change their celebrated 'birthday' up for multiple reasons. No reason not to if it makes you more comfortable.

Do you believe you aren't aging here?

I think it should
Im three months older than my brother now and ive been giving him all kinds of shit about it

dimensional displacement should be good for SOMETHING

[Though Leo is a teenager so of course he would feel that way.]

I honestly haven't thought about it.

[It's not really important to him to celebrate his birthday, and once you're his age the actual years don't seem to matter so much. But for the sake of argument:]

Birthday celebrations aren't really about celebrating the literal anniversary of your birth. It's more about you still being around, and probably getting all your friends together on the closest Friday or Saturday. I say just celebrate your regular birthday if that's what you want.

day-wise, it was April 8 when I left home and April 1 here, so the difference between my next birthday counted by days and by date isn't that big anyway
