#(ask. height comparisons)

[achillean-knight]

you can’t just drop that comic without drawing him giving his lil sis a hug

HMMMM I will be honest, IDK how to draw that bc their height differences must be SO SO insane LMAO So that's why I sorta left it out!!

HOWEVER I can do a reverse scenario ;0; Hands you this in turn...

[humlase]

I was really bored and couldn't work on any of my current wips so I decided to draw Neil in my outfit.

I rlly hope you saw that lil doodle i made of my oc in that mud au you did…sighs..wait that sounds self-centered its not oh dear GOD

ANYWAYS- i was wondering..abt mud in ur au, does he like a resting post/nest (yes im getting this from tf2…shush) or is he usually by diligences side most of the time? Also does mud know abt mel in this au or does ken just never let him see her…💔

I did see your little doodle!! Your OC is SO cute, I lover her sm with her fancy uniform and cool mask, love that you played around with her design for this AU :) Everyone else should also totally go check your OC out! She’s very cool!!!

To answer your question, Mud technically does actually have a nest on top of the gate that he regularly has to climb up to to do perimeter checks / lookouts from above, but the rest of the time he's mostly stuck next to Diligence at the gate :)

Since he's almost always busy and on the job, he doesn't usually get the time to sleep so he’s rarely at his nest for long enough to rest. He's learned to sneak in a few naps throughout the day whenever he gets the chance. He's gotten scarily good at sleeping upright without anyone noticing! Although he did get caught. Once.

He didn’t realise even when he woke up and no one told him so he doesn’t even know about it 😭

Mud does know about Mel! In fact, she’s the first Smiling Dead he meets when they break into Heaven. It was while they were running away and everything was in chaos, so you could say that their meeting went… a little violently.

to be tall

[eye-may]

Is Etcetera, Electra and Jemima also taller than Mistoffelees ,like pouncival and Tumblebrutus?

Or maybe they are the same height, or is it just that Jemima is still smaller than Mistoffelees? It would be pretty funny if the youngest of the tribe is taller than Mistoffelees too lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you have a good new year <3

hhh Im getting my inbox out of order now but I think this question is great and I was too excited to answer it XD when it comes to character design I have always cared VERY MUCH about heights!!! and we love a short king uwu

so to answer your question...in the beginning, Jemima, Electra, and Etcetera, and Mistoffelees are all around the same height. however, as it has been established, the Conjuring Cat never remains on equal footing for terribly long before his younger compatriots inevitably outgrow him.

I like the idea of little Jemima growing to be at least a head taller than Mistoffelees lmao. Victoria and Pouncival on the other hand do end up being taller than him, but not by much. I think Electra ends up being pretty tall too; Etcetera enjoys a more middling stature when she's done growing.

so yes indeed, Mistoffelees is the smallest and slinkiest cat in the Junkyard! the good news is, at least in my fanverse, he's not too preoccupied with his unusually diminutive size. he does have magical powers after all, which makes up for...a lot XD and being small makes it all the easier to be sneaky and agile

[tadc-harlequin-au]

pretty basic question but can we get their actual hights? Just having some trouble picturing how tall they’d all be compared to an average human. (Totally not for drawing purposes 😐) thank you

Tried my best with this one, I dunno how hikaku sitatter works so I just screenshotted it next to an average human height of 5'5 (175cm) lol

in terms of ft, the gang are:

Pomni: 5'6 (not counting ponytail)

Caine: 6'0

Ragatha: 6'3 (not counting hair)

Jax: 6'6 (not counting ears)

Gangle: 6'8 (not counting excess ribbon height)

Z: 8'8 (not counting accessories like the horns)

Kingr: 7'7 (not counting the crown)

Hope this helps lol

So, I've been hyperfixating on Michael Yew as a character in general (No, I'm not okay, all the fanfictions have emotional destroyed me) and I've been going through everything Michael related, and recently have been looking at Michael fan art, and I've realized that almost every fanart where he's with someone else he's oddly tall? Like, this isn't hate towards the artists, they're out here doing the gods work drawing minor characters, but it leads me to wonder if people really realize how small Michael truly is.

Michael's described as being four foot six, and while one could technically try and argue that Percy is an unreliable narrator and is estimating Michael's height, there is quite a bit of evidence on the contrary. Michael is one of, if not the only person who Percy gives an exact height to; even Annabeth, Percy just describes as being tall, never giving the reader an exact height. Besides, Percy's description of Michael is as followed, "Michael stood four feet six, with another two feet of attitude." If Percy were estimating, or even exaggerating, he'd probably use a preposition in his sentence. So, it's safe to say that Percy is 100% certain of Michael's height (which does leave the question how Percy's so certain of this fact, but we'll never know that, as much as I wish we did.)

I know most countries don't use feet, and as someone who read the U.S. edition, I cannot be positive, but I'd assume if other dialects of English, or different languages, had their prints, it would be in what's common there (probably centimeters?) But if not, here's a conversion chart for everyone:

4ft 6in = 4.5 ft = 54 in = 137.16 cm = 1.37 m

Okay, so we all know how objectively small Michael is, but how does that compare to other people? It's difficult sometimes to make such comparisons between two characters, so I found a height comparision thing to show the height difference. As you, hopefully, can see, the first picture I put Michael (4'6" or 137.16cm) next to Percy (who's about 6' or 182.88 cm). And the second, Michael next to Coach Hedge (5') because his height is made explicit in heroes of olympus, while Percy's is just a guesstimate.

Michael doesn't even reach Percy's shoulder in height, despite the two being the same age, or Michael being older (which I genuinely believe: see my previous post about Michael). Even with Hedge, who people comment on how small he is, has a noticeable few inches on Michael, who reaches to probably about his nose or upper lip.

Now, mostly Michael is drawn with the other Apollo boys, and I've rarely see a fanart where Will's taller than him. Maybe it's because Will is explicitly a few years younger than him (at minimum, 2½, at maximum, 5ish), or maybe not, I'm not sure.

According to the wikipedia page, Will Solace is 6', but again, we take everything on the wikipedia page with a grain of salt, because Will is just described as tall in the books, specifically in Heroes of Olympus where Will would be about 14 or 15 (though, this is also a bit iffy. I could write a whole thesis on Will's age, specifically how I believe Apollo's description of Will's age is overexaggerated in THO, but that's for another post). Using this math, Will would have been approximately 13 to 14 when Michael kicked the bucket. The average height for a 13 year old boy is 5'1" to 5'5", meaning, if Will's height were truly above average, he'd be, at minimum, 11 inches taller than his brother in TLO, which is:

Even if the fanart is depicted a young Will like starting it camp, there is no plausable way for him to be taller than Michael.

Here's a chart for average heights of a white boy (while we do not know Michael's ethnicity, this chart is easiest to show). The red dot is Michael's height in The Last Olympian, if he were 16, and the yellow dot is Will's approximate height, at 13.

If you were to graph out Michael's height, it'll be pretty obvious that the only ages he's taller than Will is when he's really really young (I study neither biology nor math, so I couldn't be bothered to actually figure out the formula, but maybe I will someday) if Michael grew at an average rate. If his growth was normal until about ten and then was stunted, that would be a different story, but we, as readers, will never truly know the reason.

I might not be a bio or math major, but I do double major in creative writing and psychology, and that means I'm interested in why Michael is drawn taller in comparision to who he's with. And for this I have a few theories.

The first one, which I mentioned a bit ago in this post, is age. People percieve being taller as being older—though once you reach adulthood this becomes less infallible, though since they are kids that doesn't matter much—meaning if Michael were drawn his actual height, he'd be percieved as younger. While I'm not positive, I have an inkling this stems from ableism, but I have no proof to back up that claim.

My second theory is that, much like the fact that many people in the fandom say Connor and Travis are twins even though it is explicitly stated they are not, people genuinely forgot. Or one person said something, and it snowballed from there.

My third and final theory is that people just can't fully comprehend the height difference in their mind. I struggle with creating mental images, and it's possible that many other people do.

It's interesting to think about, really. And I'd really like to know if other people noticed this, or if I'm just overthinking everything again.

I love your human bird man, he scratches my brain nicely

Well, if you told me when I started this blog that I would draw this silly NPC more than some of the main player characters I wouldn't believe you lmao. But thank you!

I keep forgetting that Strike is still tall in Godsbound, like I know logically of course he is but in my brain he turned into a little guy in that mindflayer pod. When he was leaning down to Astarion in the new chapter I was like "oh-"

He's still 6'3! But since I write in his POV he does probably feel smaller, since his own height isn't something he would be thinking about! Especially because subconsciously he is used of being taller than most people around him (Karlach and Halsin are the only ones bigger in the group)

[justsigma-bsd]

magic anon: curse of the tiny. sigma has become two feet shorter. ( so if you were 5'2, you'd be 3'2. )

Nikolai is no doubt a very intimidating man, but I think while it's amusing and he's certainly the type to stand tall, broad, and generally unmoving if he feels the urge, there's some part of him that delights in something domestic.

A lil sweetheart? Or a fireball that's not shy about telling him exactly what they think? He's whipped either way. Absolute heart eyes regardless bc that's HIS darling. Maybe mild difference in approach. If his partner is more quiet and reserved he's liable to quieten a bit, if they're more rowdy he matches the energy I feel that in me. A chameleon of people to a degree.

I also feel like the guy's cocky. He's got brain, brawn, connections, talent, he's a threat in many ways and he's absolutely aware of his capabilities.

To regrab that intimidating but loves domestic things, I really can see Nikolai secretly indulging in the thought of being gruff in his work, with the people scared of him, being pressured into agreements they don't like bc they're not arguing with this guy, and in the middle of being intimidating during a deal arrangement, having his partner appear. Maybe bringing him something? I feel like he'd find it funnier if they were there to ask for something though, and ignoring the people he's around to focus on his darling. Let those he's meeting sit in discomfort while he ignores them until his partner is gone again. Then it's back to business. (Hell, maybe if he needs to throw emotional curve balls to make his dealing people less focused on what he's slipping by them, he plans for that interruption with his partner. Getting attention away from the minor details of what's going on so he can get more out of the agreed arrangements? Smart boy, after all) -🐾

Ooooohh what a big brain you have, Anon!! And you're so right. Nikolai absolutely adores his partner, whether they're a big ball of energy or more calm and collected. He matches energy when needed, but he's also calm when you need him to be. (Like if you're having a meltdown, he's there to hold you and whisper sweet words in Russian, purring in your ear about how much he loves you.)

Also big intimidating man with tiny sunshine partner is my favorite trope!!! (Probably because I'm a sunshine person and these men would all tower over me lol)

Better hope none of those business partner say anything rude about you. Because Nikolai will waste no time putting them in their place 🤭 if it's a really bad comment, he's sending you out of the room so he can handle it immediately.

Both baldi and the principal are so cool! Tbh I just want to be their friend 😭

"I don't know what we did to earn such praise, but that's very sweet of you!"

[wutheringmights]

honestly. have u ever thought abt how everyones heights compare to spirit? i remembered him n twi being the same height so i got curious ♡

I cannot be trusted to keep characters heights straight, so my rule of thumb is to make everyone’s height order the same as their age order (with exceptions made for extraordinary heights, like Four being super short).

So Sprit would be about Warriors’s height, if not slightly shorter. That would make him just a little bit taller than Twilight.

Basically: Time > Warriors > Spirit > Twilight > Sky > Wild > Legend > Hyrule > Wind > Four

What are everyone’s heights? In my head, Warriors would be like 5’ 10” but I’m writing LOZ fanfiction and Link is generally a pretty short guy. So I always have to mentally scale him back down a few inches. I’ve settled on 5’ 7” ish as a compromise.

Dude is really tall. XD

[pilkypills]

the way you describe things is so magnificent, so evocative, i simply had to tell you
