for those who dont know starry lore: starry is the last of a powerful race called the stellarians who were obliterated by [him] because they were getting too powerful and [he] has the fear of them overthrowing [him]. so [inapplicable] years ago (maybe longer than that) [he] obliterated the stellarian race and their reality, leaving starry as the only one left, when he was just a baby (2) he was flung into sub-reality and into the reality of the TUA/scratchiverse. the reason who he always claims he is 12, acts 12, and looks 12, is that he experienced severe time dialation, as where [he] and the former stellarian reality is verrrrry far away from the borders of what we know now. so basically 10 years for him was [inapplicable] for everyone else (he was in hypersleep when he was flung)
