Re: favorite canons featuring character who are 30+
(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 05:27 am (UTC)(link)The Vorkosigan Saga books by Lois McMaster Bujold start with an 18 year old protagonist but follow him into his early 40s, and that's not counting the books focused on his parents. And Bujold's Five Gods novels, especially her Chalion books, have older protagonists.
The Sandman has teen and 20 something characters but so far the biggest ship is two immortals (the eponymous main character who's ~14 billion years old, and his ~660s boytoy, heh) played by a 37 and 34 year old, respectively.
The protagonists of T. Kingfisher's White Rat novels are mostly or all 30s-ish (or immortal and stuck in enchanted swords.) Also there's a standalone, Nettle and Bone, with a protagonist in her 30s, and a pair of awesome older witches.
Idk how Once Upon a Time fandom is holding up these days, but almost all the characters were late 20s on up, and my OTP was played by an actress in her late 20s to mid 30s and an actor in his 50s.
A good chunk of superheroes are adults.
All the Lord of the Rings characters are adults, even if some are meant to be the equivalent of 20-somethings (but are idk, 50s? because hobbits age differently.)
I'm a Christine/Erik shipper, but the most popular Phantom of the Opera slash ship is Erik (the phantom) and his long-suffering former minder/government official tasked with his execution who helped him escape instead/best friend, the Persian. He has no name and a probably inaccurate title, Daroga, in the original book, but the most popular profic dubbed him Nadir Khan, and searching Erik/Nadir on Ao3 will probably net you lots of ill-adjusted 50ish men pining for each other.
The Temeraire novels by Naomi Novik follow an English naval officer reassigned to the Aerial Corps, that is, the dragon riding air force, during a version of the Napoleonic Wars where both sides (and most every country and culture) lives alongside dragons.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-12 12:07 am (UTC)(link)The oldest are the Maiar characters - Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron - who are literally older than the material world and played a role in creating it.
