What time period do you think Peter Pan was born in?
>>77529853
that is... a good fucking question
i'm gonna say mid 19th century. but time in neverland runs differently or something
i mean Hook didn't invent the backstory of his pram running off on its own when tinkerbell met him as a babby, right? that's in some story. so he has to live in the age of perambulators
though parts of me would still wonder if he was significantly more ancient

I've heard a plausible theory that Hook was once a lost boy. One day Peter wanted to play pirates, but later forgot it was just a game, so the island made the changes permanent.
How old is Disney's Peter Pan supposed to be?

If Hook is to be taken as canon, then the early to mid 1800s was when he was born and taken to Neverland after he ran away.
I think the aging stops based on what the person wants. I seem to recall reading (or seeing) something about lost boys joining the pirates and becoming adults as a result.
This mental induced aging phenomena was shown in Peter Pan and the Pirates when Peter was tricked into wanting to be grown up. And in doing so, nearly destroyed Neverland after forgetting about everyone.

The very first version had him born right around 1900. The exact date was never given, but that's pretty close. Given that, then, he'd be over a century old at this point.

Is that the plot of Peter Pan in Scarlet? I've been meaning to read it eventually.
As an infant he meets Queen Mab in Kensington Gardens, so at least 18th century just to allow him to go to the place after it existed, though probably 19th century judging by other details.

Child. No way to tell how many years because he never kept count.

The book says that fairies have very short lifespans, and Tink died of old age before the book ended. Given that Tink was the one that found Peter and brought him to Neverland, not much time could have passed. Peter's appearance must have reflected his actual age.

If he couldn't tell the difference between Wendy and her daughter, I wouldn't be surprised if he mixed up the fairies too. I'd bet he called lots of fairies Tinkerbell.

I think where it gets murky is that there are several books and plays by the original author, all with different rules.

The 1930s, where Dickensian street urchins sang Nirvana songs while slaving away in Hugh Jackman's Pixie Dust mines

I personally like the 1911 novel in which he never lost his pearly teeth and his laugh is the same as a newborn infant. Therefore he's ageless, paradoxically both the youngest and the oldest you can imagine him to be, despite physical appearance.

No, anon. Just no.
