* In Legion of Super-Heroes Element Lad ends up in a TimeAbyss after an incident involved him being sent to the beginning of the universe and living in isolation before life evolved where he was. By the time his friends meet him again, he's on such a different time scale that he's completely forgetful of conversations that occurred moments before, and has taken to calling other life blinkers in reference to their lifespans.

* PlayedForHorror in [[https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/cokl1l/if_youre_armed_and_at_the_glenmont_metro_please/ If you're armed and at the Glenmont Metro, please shoot me]]. The narrator participates in a clinical trial for a drug that accelerates his brain functions, causing him to perceive time more slowly. At first, the downsides are only annoying and boring, with minutes feeling like hours and his 30-minute ride home feeling like days. As time goes on and the effects of the drug keep intensifying, to the point that turning the pages of a book takes longer than reading it and he can see the individual frames on TV, boredom gets the better of him he eventually decides to take an Ambien to try and sleep the effects off. [[spoiler: The sleeping pill interacts with the drug and begins ''severely'' magnifying its effects, hitting him right as he was running down the stairs at the metro station, causing him to lose his footing from the sudden change and get locked into a fall down the steps that, from his perspective, takes days. The impact dislocates his shoulder and he discovers, while his senses are slowed down, the pain never subsides because his body is still working in real-time, and he decides it's too much and tries to throw himself onto the tracks. His perception of time eventually slows to the point that simply ''blinking'' plunges him into darkness for centuries. After enduring what feels like thousands of years of pain and boredom over the course of a few minutes, he posts online, begging for someone to put him out of his misery. A shot to the temple should only take a few decades.]]

*** As shown in ''VideoGame/{{Skyrim}}'', the dragons are immortal beings, some of whom, like Alduin, have existed since the beginning of time itself. When a dragon is killed, it always returns to life later, because its soul is persistent. The human-created Shout known as "Dragonrend" exploits this aspect of dragons by forcing them to comprehend the concept of mortality, an idea so alien to them that it [[ImmortalsFearDeath freaks them the hell out]]. This is also why they dread [[PlayerCharacter the Dragonborn]], the one being in existence that can kill a dragon permanently. Alduin, himself, wound up displaced in time when the peoples of the distant past used an Elder Scroll to send him into the future and forestall the apocalypse he is destined to create.

** While not truly immortal like in some other fantasy series, the [[OurElvesAreBetter races of Mer (Elves)]] are LongLived compared to humans, with prominent examples of Altmer (High Elves) and Dunmer (Dark Elves) living naturally for several centuries (and some who've [[WizardsLiveLonger enchanced their lifespans with magic]] living for several ''milennia''). This is also a reason several of these races believe that HumansAreBastards. They see Men as having pitifully short lives filled with violence and savagery who disrupt everything the elves try to achieve. Some of the most extreme Altmeri religious beliefs (like those espoused by the [[AntiHumanAlliance Third Aldmeri Dominion]] under the leadership of the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Thalmor]]) even teach that Elves are oppressed by the very ''[[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence existence]]'' of humanity. Even more reasonable Elven leadership, such as the Second Aldmeri Dominion (which you can join in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline''), are opposed to a human empire dominating Tamriel because, with such short lives, they can't do a fair and balanced job ruling the continent.
** Time as we know it doesn't apply to the series' [[OurGodsAreDifferent many forms of divine beings]] in the same way that it does to mortals. To note some specific examples:
*** Akatosh is the draconic TopGod of the Aedric pantheon, and is the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification embodiment]] of the idea of "time". It is said that he was one of the first beings to manifest out of the raw energy of the early universe, and he [[TimeMaster started linear time]] following the creation of Mundus, the mortal plane. At several points in history, Akatosh has also been "[[HijackingCthulhu tampered with]]" so to speak, typically my mortals wielding divine implements. These {{Time Crash}}es are known as "Dragon Breaks", with the longest one occuring during the 1st Era when a group of anti-Elven inquisitors performed a ritual with the intent to purge Akatosh of his Elven influences. This proceeded to break time for a period of [[OneHundredEight 1008]] years (measured using Nirn's moons, which are said to be the decaying "flesh divinity" of the [[GodIsDead dead creator god]] and thus unaffected), during which bizarre occurances happened such as children giving birth to their own parents, the sky changing colors depending on the observer, and events as large as wars happening according to once source but mentioned as ''not'' happening by another.
*** The Daedra are pre-creation entities who did not take part in the creation of Mundus, thus retaining their CompleteImmortality, but are also restricted in how they can interact with Mundus as a result. It is noted in the series that Daedra have odd perceptions of time, sometimes having difficulty telling "when from when". Their home realm of Oblivion, the VoidBetweenTheWorlds, sees time flow oddly as well. In some cases, mortals trapped within don't seem to age a day despite years or even ''centuries'' passing on Mundus.
*** On a meta level, the series tends to treat divinity as [[spoiler:the being knowing that they are a character in a video game and using that knowledge to affect the world around them]]. The [[PhysicalGod Tribunal deity]] Vivec dives deeper into this concept in his ''36 Lessons'' book series as well as in [[LooseCanon developer-written supplementary materials]]. For example, a real life player of the game who goes from playing ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Syrim]]'' to ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' has gone back in time 200 years in-universe, but only had a couple of minutes pass in real time. Unless the player is extremely knowledgeable about the series timeline, it might be difficult to tell "when from when", just like an in-universe deity.

When he's forced to make several ''hundred'' jumps in quick succession, he enters a state of catatonia where his mind is UnstuckInTime (and also wobbles between the Prime and Mirror Universe). After he recovers, however, he gains an immunity to the usual difficulties most people face when caught in a time anomaly, since he's able to perceive what's actually going on.

He and Uncle Gabby watch this spectacle for 50 billion years (which is shown by a black cuecard saying just that), with them still watching and staying the same as if only seconds gone by after the cuecard was shown. He ends up coming back to his own dimension and complains to Crow how he had to had to stay for 80 billion years, which crow interrupted by stating he was only gone for 5 minutes, but Gabby justifies it by saying that the monkey god took him out of the space time continuum. This means Gabby is now more than 66.2 billion years older than the universe.
