I like to think that when he's up late running tests and waiting on results, Bashir reads the stuffy Cardassian literature Garak keeps recommending him.

#shuichi iguchi#shigaraki tomura#mha spinner#bnha spinner#spinaraki#spinneraki#ok now that the tags are out of the way LETS TALK#i was reading a webtoon when female lead did that whole laugh and cover it with your hand thing and i do it sometimes too#and i got to thinking about WHY and why its usually girls depicted as such and i know some people dont like their teeth/smile#and im like well shut the fuck up! im thinking fem spinner!!! like being self conscious about how she looks and developing it on accident#and shigaraki never really noticing until one day she DOES and wow spinner looks really pretty when she laughs and why does she hide it#like damn!!! i have a lot of thoughts about what spinner but female and the changes that would have on the character and why and agdjfkflg#ANYWAYS someone stop me from regressing to the old way i used to do hair bc its too damn time intensive but its so easy to zone out during#fem shigaraki#fem spinner#was going to properly do the background but i got done after forgetting the texture for spinner for the 4th time + went eeeh good enough#also!!!!!! the last “”panel“” made me realize how weird that angle is to draw spinner with his major proportions and also keep the soft 1/2#2/2 smile reading as a smile and agdhfkfl am i adding “looks like a resting bitch face” to my spinner headcanons? maybe.#but imagine spinner trying so hard to look approachable and give a little smile but his face just????? doesnt do that very well (at least#not as easily as more human looking humans) and how that might play into his ostracization and then him leaning into that#as a defense mechanism (like if they think im an ass then I'll look like an ass on purpose) ahdndn he was so grumpy in the bar in the bg#mha jbee

[Alt text] ten screenshots of text posts by the user themme_fatale on Instagram. The text reads:
(1/10)
Do you remember the exact moment that anti-masking stopped being a far-right talking point
And became advice you were willing to follow?
(2/10)
I try to make the ways I communicate about COVID as compassionate and non-judgemental as possible because I understand that we have all been failed in this and my primary anger is always upwards.
BUT
I also need you to understand - if you are not taking precautions, you are aligning yourself with eugenicists.
The person who actively says “fuck disabled people they deserve to 💀” and never masks, and the person who never masks because “It’s annoying and besides-no one else is” are BOTH devaluing people’s lives.
(3/10)
And that might feel confronting for some of you, and I know the knee-jerk reaction is probably going to be to deflect by accusing me of “shaming people” or whatever.
I’m not shaming anyone though - it’s just uncomfortable to sit with because if you’re the kind of person who follows me chances are you don’t actually want to be engaging in eugenics.
And re-engaging with the idea that COVID is not only still around, but still actively dangerous is asking a lot of you when the alternative is the comfort of denial.
Especially when so many of the tools to keep ourselves and each other safe have been taken away from us. But the thing is none of that is actually a reason not to act.
(4/10)
There are people IN YOUR COMMUNITY relying on you to take precautions so that they don’t d1e.
(5/10)
With love, and compassion for the fact that this shit is hard - ignorance is running out as an excuse. It’s time to do better, and help your mates do better too.
People in your community shouldn’t have to constantly remind you not to put their lives in danger. Surely you can see that’s a pretty fucked up dynamic, right?
(6/10)
We shouldn’t have to push so hard on “it’s good for you to protect yourself too!” Like it still absolutely is, but saving the lives of people in your community should actually be enough to motivate you to act.
It’s genuinely fucked up to be ok with a whole proportion of the population being either being locked in their homes indefinitely or at risk of 💀 on the daily.
(7/10)
It should be considered more socially awkward to engage in eugenics by k1lling and isolating disabled people in your own community than it is to put on a mask
The fact that it’s not should embarrass all of us until we change it.
(8/10)
It should be considered more selfish to put people’s lives at risk than to ask to be kept safe
Your choices can change or reinforce that culture.
(9/10)
Government inaction puts a weapon in your hand
Pretending it’s not there puts us all in danger
(10/10)
Why do you require a mandate to care about other people?

Worry Worry
Bucky called out for you just as you entered, "Baby?"
You closed the door behind you.
Bucky peaked out of the kitchen with a smile plastered on his face, "Heyyy,"
You meekly smiled at him, "Hi."
You heard a drop, before he appeared from the kitchen, wiping his hands on the apron, "Are you ok?"
You nodded.
Bucky wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you closer to him. Your hands wrap around his biceps, as you looked up to meet his careful eyes, 
"Y/N,"
"Buck,"
He pressed his lips on your forehead, "You'll tell me if something is wrong, right?"
"Mhm," 
You leaned into his touch, just for a second. 
You pulled back and walked away with your back towards him, 
"I'm going to take a shower, do you need help with dinner?"
"No." Bucky continued, "Doll?"
You turned to him, "Yep?"
He looked at you, his eyes making you nervous.
"Buck?"
The intensity decreased this time, "Do you want me to get you ice-cream? We're out of it."
You smiled, "No, I'm okay, don't worry."
You basically ran out of the room before he could stare at you more. 
You knew you were doing the right thing. Right?
Before you could analyze your choices more, you got out of the shower and gave yourself a pep talk. 
You are NOT going to break. How hard is it to keep a secret from him? You're a strong, independent wom-
"Doll?"
Fuck
You walked out of the room, with the fakest smile plastered on your face. If anything, this whole thing proved that you have no future in acting.
"Damn, this looks good!"
You went through your usual convos way too quickly today. You tried engaging him with random stuff but you knew he wasn't buying any of it. After ten minutes, your eyes were glued to your plate and his were on you. 
You looked up, "Food's really good."
"Yeah?"
You nodded.
You looked up again and looked back immediately down. It was starting to annoy you, why was he staring into your soul?
"Can you stop?"
Bucky kept his beer down, "Stop what?"
"Looking at me like that."
"Like what?"
You scoffed, "Like this," you did the best Bucky impression you could, but he wasn't impressed. He frowned, "I don't look like that."
"Well, next time go check yourself in the mirror when you do it, WHICH IS ALL THE TIME."
"What's wrong?"
The questioned angered you more. You didn't like that he was pushing you.
"Nothing."
"Doll,"
"I'm done."
You get up to clear your side of the table.
"Fine, don't tell me."
You turned to him, "Oh, is this annoying to you? When someone won't just say what's bothering them. I can't imagine how you must feel."
You hated it as soon as it came out of your mouth. Not that you showed it to him, you turned back to close the dishwasher and walked to your room.
You were fuming at him and yourself. Maybe you blew this way out of proportion. 
After a weak try to get through your night routine, you plopped under your covers, hoping it would hide you from the mess you made. 
You followed his every step outside though. Him cleaning up, his night checks before he heads to bed, his footsteps getting closer to the bedroom, him shuffling around the room before he settled in.
You laid there in silence, in the dark, for a while, confused about how to start, worrying if he was mad or hurt by what you said or the way you acted. 
"I'm sorry."
Silence followed. You fucked up, BIG TIME.
Your eyes watered, but then he turned. He turned and hugged you. This was the last straw for you, you couldn't help but break in his arms. The stress of the day, the stress of hiding things from him and the guilt, it all hit you like thousand bricks.
You turned to face him and hugged him tightly. He held you through it. He let you cry into his chest as he ran his hand on your back, soothingly. 
You sniffed, "I got your shirt all wet."
He laughed, "That's okay."
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that."
He kissed your forehead and wiped your tears, "I know you didn't mean it."
"I didn't. I don't mind waiting for you to open up."
"I know, I've seen it doll. You don't have to say anything."
"I'm sorry, I really love you and," your voice cracked, your eyes were watering up again.
He held you closer, "I love you too. It's ok, I promise, I'm not hurt."
You pulled away to turn on the lamp.
"I need to tell you something."
He sat straight, looking at you intently.
"So I went out to get lunch. You know the cute cafe that opened nearby?"
"Yeah?"
"That one. Did you know they have another branch at-"
"Doll," 
"Right, so when I was walking I felt like someone was following me."
Bucky immediately tensed up, his eyes widened,
"Buck, I'm fine. I'm here."
You hold his arm, trying to calm him down, but it didn't help.
"What happened Y/N?" He asked sternly, his voice no longer understanding or calming.
"I walked a little more to see if it was in my head. Turns out, it wasn't." You paused, knowing the next part was going to make it even more worse, "I- I tried calling you but,"
"Fuck." Bucky said under his breath. He pulled back, "Fuck, I didn't pick up your call because of the meeting."
"Bucky, I'm fine."
"Something could have happened to you and I didn't pick up when you needed me."
"Buck," you moved closer, but he wasn't having any of it, "What did you do?"
"I called Sam. He told me to wait for him at a restaurant nearby. He was on the call the whole time. He came, we spoke about what happened and he said he was going to look into it. He left me back to the office and even came back to drop me home."
Bucky was ticked off, you saw it on his face, his jaws clenched and his voice heavy, "I saw him before I got out, why didn't he tell me?"
You remained silent.
"Why didn't he tell me Y/N?"
"I told him not to."
Bucky stood up, but you reached out for his hand, "Buck, I wanted to tell you. I knew it would freak you out and make you spiral out of control. I wanted to be the one to break the news to you. It's not a big deal, I-"
"You getting followed is a big deal Y/N. The biggest fucking deal." He said each word slowly and clearly.
He paced around the room, muttering under his breathe.
"I'll stay home and work. I won't go out alone. We'll be fine."
"No, we need to move. We're staying at the headquarters for a bit, till I figure this out. We need to get new numbers-"
"Change my face too while we're at it?"
Bucky's look immediately shut you up. 
"Why didn't you tell me immediately? Why did you try to hide it?"
You pointed at him, "This. I knew you would worry and I don't know, I just didn't how to say this without you worrying."
You looked down, cursing whoever followed you for ruining the peace you had going on.
The bed dipped beside you, "Y/N?"
You looked at him. He no longer looked angry. He looked worried, nervous, "Are you ok?"
You nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine Buck. I promise."
"I'm sorry for not being there for you. I should've been there."
"You didn't know. You think I don't know that the minute I mention I need you, you won't be there in a heart beat? I know that Buck, I know you'll be there for me."
"I'm always going to worry about you. You're my, my everything, Y/N. My job is to protect you, everything else comes after."
"Technically, your job is to protect the world."
Bucky's eyes softens, "You're my world,"
You pulled him into a hug, a tight one, "Cheesy, but fine."
Bucky chuckles. 
You look at him, "Are you mad?"
"Not at you."
"At Sam?"
"Not for you to worry about."
"Buck, I told-"
Bucky's lips brushed yours softly. You sighed into him, your hands sliding up his chest to wrap around his neck. The kiss deepened, each exploring the other with a mix of urgency and tenderness.
He slowly pulled back to rest his forehead against yours, "We'll figure this out together."

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S 2024?!?!
next, you're gonna tell me it's gonna be some made-up year like "2025" next. tch, imagine that.
anyways, whoo! 2023! compared to both 2022 and 2021, i gotta say, my art style took a hard swerve in some direction this year. i mean, look at that klavier from january and that butch kim from just this december! (granted, i heavily referenced the portrait of butch kim but still, i didn't use to paint! mama mia!)
---
the way i drew faces has definitely changed, that's what i get for getting into something that's live-action and into smth that has realistically proportioned art lol
OH! OH! HOW COULD I FORGET!!! IT WAS (and still will be) THE YEAR OF THE OLD MAN!! i really learned how to draw aged faces this year! ach fraulein, i have not stopped drawing people in their 40's-50's! i would say "send help" but i'm actually having a lot of fun ASKSKS
---
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i think a funny thing about these art summaries i've done is that they're mostly ace attorney but then there's just a month where i become a different type of ill LMAO this year it was four months for the price of two new interests!
cheers! here's to 2024!!! hope y'all have a fun art year!!!!

1. FAVORITE THINGS I'VE DRAWN THIS YEAR (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER)
⚖️ mea culpa comic [x]
drawing this one was so time-consuming and ambitious but boy, do i love the end result! i had fun doing the inks for this one but was it a lot! i usually color in lineart and render everything but i had to stop myself from doing it for this one bc man, i'll die asksks
this also has some of my favorite apollos i've drawn, definitely
also! the part about the lineart not being colored and no rendering ended up being a deliberate stylistic choice for this one bc i had like more freedom to do just shadows with inks without it looking too out of place.
💐 my lawfully wedded zine spread [x]
now this one isn't out yet but take my word for when i say that this is one of the most craxy things i've ever drawn for this year, on account of drawing a comic AND group shot all in one!
also literally one of the prettiest things i've rendered this year, lookit that klav...
🎉 aa4 redraw - 2022 anniversary [x]
kind of like my wedding zine piece, group photos are insane, and rendering like uhhh [looks at drawing] 11 CHARACTERS IS ALSO INSANE if i try and draw a group photo again you have to stop me DFGHDJ
🎨 my art fight stuff [x] [x]
was possessed in the month of july or smth bc i pumped out like how many drawings so quickly (before i got burnt out that is pftt)
pace yourselves and don't be like me pls ajshgdghhjk
💥 people park day [x]
my friend told me that it was very obvious i watched across the spiderverse when they saw this FDFGHJD
but yea! this is when i started getting really into like, thought bubbles or just like, panels or drawings within a drawing when coming up with layouts
i still love the colors on this one...
🪩 fem disco portraits
ok so i haven't uploaded these yet but you have to trust me when i say that something was in the water DFGHDJ
who knew that all it took for me to learn how to paint was butches

Hi roman. I know this is very weird, but i've seen you give some life advice to other people, so i thought i could give it a try too. Don't answer if you don't want to. Anyway
Do you have any advice/tips for a 15 y/o who thinks they just have no control over their life? Like, my concentration is dog shit, i think my grades are slipping. My executive dysfunction so bad and i think i'm disappointing a lot of people. I have no idea how to handle anything in my life. I can't force myself to do the things i need to (not that that'd be any good, i'll immediately cry lol). I just, don't fucking know how i could make things better for myself. And i can't really talk to adults about it, they'll repeat the stuff i already know, and i am the worst person to put their feelings into words, so they'll prob never understand. Not in the edgy way.
Yeah so sorry for half venting into your ask box. Thank you in advance if you'll answer it, if it's too weird and you don't want to do that for whatever reason, that's ok. Peace and love <3
Dude, you’re unfortunately suffering from being 15. And possibly a learning disorder. Godspeed to you.
And I don’t say that to belittle your problems. In many ways as a teenager you don’t have control over a lot of things. You’re still under the control of your parents, you’re still learning how to deal with adult level emotions and ideas. A lot is expected of you and a lot of things are made to seem more important than they are. It’s hard to tell what’s actually important and what’s just adults blowing things out of proportion. It sucks and it’s frustrating!
If you can, you might want to talk to a counselor. If your parents or guardians are anti-counseling you might try to talk to someone at your school like a teacher or administrator or school nurse about the possibility of getting counseling without your parents knowing. Some schools have programs like that.
The adults closest to you might not understand but if you keep looking you’ll eventually find someone who remembers what it’s like to be in your shoes.
And I remember fully feeling like I’d never get control over anything. The end goal of life was graduation from high school and god only knows if I keep existing after that. But the thing is, you do! You keep existing and you figure a lot of stuff out. Wisdom does come with time, it turns out. And legally and practically you end up getting a lot more autonomy as time goes on.
And I know hearing things like this might not feel comforting. When you’re stuck, you’re stuck and no matter how much you logically know it’ll get better right now it sucks.
Just find ways to keep going. And try asking for help sometimes. If your family won’t listen, find someone who will. Take the time to write down your problems and how you feel if you can’t come up with explanations of what’s going on. Or find a friend to talk it out with so you can practice explaining yourself.
If there’s one thing I can promise you, when you’re a couple years into adulthood all of the problems from your teenage years start to feel small. At the time they were big and important though. And that’s what you’re going through right now. And a lot of adults forget about that. Hang in there, and when all of this is behind you, remember how hard it was and maybe someday you can help someone like you.
I’m sorry if all that wasn’t helpful. I don’t know too much about your individual situation. But ask for help when you can. Someone out there understands. You’ll find them.

Timid girl black dress with hair tied back
Tumblr media
Tagging: @kmc1989 @trublu2u @yousigned-upforthis @queenslandlover-93 
Tumblr media
Travis hates dressing up. He would rather spend his evening in a worn set of Levi’s, with a beer in his hand and his girl cuddled up against him go out to the Governor’s Ball tonight. He tugs again at the collar of his shirt before he pops open the first two buttons allowing himself to breathe. The blazer he’s wearing may be expensive, it maybe tailored to his exact proportions but he still finds the damn thing far too confining. He’s taking it off as soon as he’s led to your table.
“Gina honey.” He calls up the stairs, checking his watch again. “We’re gonna be late if we don’t saddle up in the next couple of minutes.”
He doesn’t know why you’re taking so long to get ready. It usually takes you twenty minutes at most when the two of you are heading out a little somewhere special. So far it’s been over hour and Travis can’t help but feel a little antsy about the closed bedroom door.
He’s checking his pockets for his keys when he hears your footsteps on the landing, he glances up to see you descending the stairs and his breath just catches.
You’re wearing a black off the shoulder evening down that accentuates your curves and your hair pulled back into a neat updo.
“Fuck.” He whispers because he’s never seen angel right up close until this very moment.
“Is it ok?” You ask, your hands smoothing over the fabric as you come to stand in front of him. “I haven’t dressed up like this in a long time and I don’t want to embarrass you tonight.”
It clicks then, what all this timidness is about, why you’ve locked yourself away for the past couple of hours. You used to go to society events with your ex-husband Malcom Beck, you don’t talk much about that time but Travis can guess that’s where your anxiety is coming from. You were supposed to be the perfect wife, seen but not heard. Berated if there was a hair out of place. He fucking hates that Beck did that to you, that he stole away your confidence, that he made you feel like anything other than the goddess you are.
“Honey.” He says, his hands coming to rest on your waist as he draws you to him. “You are bewitching in ways that even this old cowboy doesn’t understand. You’re smart, beautiful and you light up a whole fucking room with that smile of yours. The two of us are gonna do a little drinking, a little dancing and a whole lot of loving.”
You can’t help but laugh because this man, he just has this way of chasing away all of your fears, all of your doubts. Your lips brush over his and he moans into your mouth, his calloused palms chasing over the contours of your dress.
“I’m going to have a hard time keeping my hands off you tonight.” He whispers into the curve of your throat and your fingers thread through his hair, eliciting a curse from deep within his throat.
“Oh Travis baby.” You whisper as his kisses become more heated. “We both know it’s your mouth I’m more interested in.”
Love Travis? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

"Just a photo of me with my lovely new girlfriend, Nikki! We met on Tinder and she was soooo eager to date a trans girl like me! I asked her if she loved girls with huge boobs like me and she asked if I'm trans. I was surprised she could tell and said that I was. She told me it was obvious I was born a boy, that I didn't pass very well. But she really wanted to hook up still, saying she loved how boys who transition into girls like me wind up with such big boobs that they're kind of a give away. Because cis girls would get a reduction and hate being so busty, but trans girls keep them and let them grow to bovine proportions. Since we have boy libidos and get turned on by monster tits and other perverted stuff. But she said she's a bit of a pervert, too.
I told her I was flattered but I'm not especially kinky. She promised me if we got together she'd make me kinkier than I ever could've dreamed. Sooooo I just had to say yes. We've been together three months, but I'm still not sure what she meant exactly..... We have sex and she encourages me to use my cock, although she tops, she likes me to stroke my cock and edge for her. She likes to tell me when I can or can't cum, which is pretty fun, although a bit frustrating since I swear I've been getting hornier since I met her! And my cock has actually grown, weirdly enough! That happen to any other trans girls at nineteen? I haven't missed any of my meds. But I've gone from four inches fully erect to almost ten! It's embarrassing having a big dick but at least Nikki seems to like it, joking how it just proves I'm really a boy deep down. It's weird but my heart flutters when she calls me a boy, especially in public. It actually makes my cock hard..... Oh, and suddenly my stubble and beard are coming in! Is that normal? I've been on blockers since ten and hormones at twelve. Should I see my doctor or do you girls think I should just let it come in? I'm OK at covering it with makeup but I feel like it's coming in really fast. Oh well, hope you all have a lovely day! ❤️"
"Fuck..... It's been two years since my last post because, well, as everyone was commenting, yes Nikki was a TERF, and yes.... she was sneaking me testosterone. You all called it and I totally ignored it. Now I'm seeing what she meant by kinky.... It was one thing to control when I cum, but now my life revolves around Nikki's fetishes. It started with her detransitioning me, training me to edge and not cum unless she allowed it. Soon my voice dropped, my body hair and beard grew thick. I couldn't hide that I was a guy at all. And fuck it made me so damn hard! I feel disgusting, thinking of how I threw my beautiful body away for Nikki. But my cock is so big now! It aches to be stroked and played with all day, but instead every time I get an erection I have to eat or chug weight gain shakes until Nikki gets home and lets me cum.
Nikki apparently loves extremely fat men and loves turning beautiful trans girls into fat men even more. I'm definitely not the first or last trans girl she's done this to. I even had to watch as she made me get my boobs chopped off. Reduced to a flat, boy's chest, as I was only numbed, kept awake as the surgeon destroyed my perfect breasts. Nikki was in the corner, controlling a set of vibrating toys, one in my ass, the other inserted into my fat cock. I was still thin and pretty that day, and it's one of the few videos Nikki actually lets me jerk off to when I'm allowed to cum. That, and videos of other trans girls she's dated enduring the same thing. Always still slim and beautiful, breasts at least a HH-Cup or bigger. Stubble starting to show on their faces, voices just beginning to crack as they're forced to watch a surgeon dismantle and ruin their beautiful, estrogen-fattened breasts.
Now my whole life is sitting home eating. Sometimes Nikki goes days without coming home and letting me cum, since she has so many other former trans girls to keep fed and growing, making sure none of us are breaking our rules, being naughty, and gooning on our own. Although, as a boy the temptation to edge and stroke and goon all day is always at the forefront of my brain. Eating is the only thing that quiets my urges..... temporarily. So I eat more and more, gorging myself, becoming a hairy tub of lard for Nikki, knowing I'll never, ever pass as a girl again. Not that I was ever very convincing.... I can't wait to get as fat as possible to show Nikki what a devoted, pathetic hog I've become! Although it is fun to watch her get mad when I can't help myself and I jerk off for hours on end to girls getting forcibly detransitioned....."

time loop Stands For Some Things question mark? mostly just curious about your interpretation of the metaphor(s) there as someone only vaguely familiar with the game. sorry for stumbling on your special interest blog and asking for the literal ABCs of isat im just soo questions
ok well the thing is the things that the loop stands for in isat are Big Spoilers. so uh, go into the read more at your own discretion? also keep in mind this is just my interpretation
the way i see it, the loops can be read psychologically and metawise. psychologically, it's all about being trapped in patterns of behavior. conversations that you've already had dozens of time before, things that you and the people around you keep doing, cycles that repeat for no one's benefit, safe for the unintended effect of not having to change or open up about your issues. siffrin keeping himself and his party hostage by not being vulnerable with them but refusing to let them leave out of fear and love. and thus making the same mistakes and doing the same things over and over until they get so burnt out and mess up so hard it threatens to Ruin Everything (where the game once again ramps up siffrin's subjective perception to cosmic cataclysm proportions via wish craft).
metawise, isat is also a commentary on how hard it is to leave a good game behind. the story is framed as the endgame area of a different jrpg (which i'll refer to as "the larger game" from here on out) for a reason: siffrin is effectively the player being unable to reckon with the fact the larger game is almost over. running around with different sidequests, trying to find more ways to spend time with the characters, feeling the endgame grind of fighting against enemies time and time again for exp, doing anything and everything to just not let the game go. it even escalates to the point of their attachment becoming warped, ironically getting so invested that they wind up flattening the complexities of the story and characters that they loved so much it caused this (siffrin with their stageplay metaphors paralleling how some people become hyperaware of the fact they're "playing a game" and "trying to 100% it" which ironically even happens to isat).
the two allegories are in my opinion two sides of the same silver coin and serve as another element of what makes siffrin so compelling (not to mention relatable, i only thought of the psychological angle because i sometimes feel like i'm in a timeloop when a depressing situation happens that has happened before- I MEAN WHAT).

I tried so hard not to be parasocial about it but this letter thing is fucking me up, man. I've written a few overly flattering letters to evil government officials before myself. but how did someone convince all these reasonable-seeming people (strangers that I do not know) to publicly sign this centrist-ass letter? I understand they probably got Taika Waititi and Jack Black with the everyone can share, peace and love on the planet earth wording, but Jordan Peele? what. how did that happen. it makes no sense to me.
Ok I'm gonna front load my position on the Israel-Palestine conflict before I answer this ask so that no one can accuse me of shit I didn't say. If you want to see what I have to say on the letter itself, scroll to the big font. I'm as anti-zionist as they come I don't think that governments should even exist at all, I consider Israel to be an illegitimate state the same way I consider the country I live in (USA) to be an illegitimate state. I think that if we're going to have countries at all, which we shouldn't, that country should be Palestine and individual Jewish people certainly should be welcome to move there for whatever reason they want, including religious, but that the people who already lived there shouldn't be displaced because of it. And if they wanted me to support Israel on the basis of Jewish people needing somewhere to go after the Holocaust, they should have put Israel in Europe in 1945 instead of in the Arabian Peninsula in 1918. I tend to think the hard core zionists who aren't Jewish are trying to deport diaspora Jewish people somewhere based on the way I have heard other goyim speak about Israel. I am sympathetic to Jewish people who believe this has nuance but ultimately I cannot condone the displacement of Palestinians. That position might lose me followers but really I don't care.
Now that I have gotten that out of the way
(This first paragraph is for everyone who's out of the loop and has only seen the Tumblr posts about this issue, Anon does seem to know what I'm about to say) I do also think this whole thing with the letter is being blown out of proportion a little bit? That's not to say it's a good letter, it does contain language which blames Hamas for the conflict which is the western propaganda line so that countries like the United States and Britain don't have to admit that they caused and are funding this whole operation because they hate brown people. However celebrities are rubes who fall for government propaganda all the fucking time. What the letter itself actually calls for is Biden to facilitate the release of Israeli hostages. I consider this letter to be the vaguely Zionist equivalent of that time all those celebrities got on zoom and sang imagine because COVID was happening. I certainly doubt that the man who produced Get Out and Us supports the genocide and I also question whether the man who directed Reservation Dogs does either. Most likely they were asked "will you sign a letter calling for the release of Israeli hostages?" And they said "well releasing hostages sounds nice."
(this paragraph is for anon) Despite the fact that I think "these 70 celebrities condone Palestinian genocide" is incredibly reductive I would encourage you to see these people as human beings, and more specifically idiot millionaires who are out of touch. I believe that Taika Waititi understands the Maori struggle and generally tries to be a nice liberal but ultimately he is a man who grew up in the 80s with a lot of money who has an interest in keeping that money. His gaff transphobia tweets (which I didn't think were that bad considering he made it in 2013 and wasn't even talking about trans women, but they were still transphobic) and his pearl clutching during the BLM riots made this abundantly clear (both of these incidents are Taika Twitter originals that people have sent me trying to get me to hate him and I saw both of them and was like "that's what I thought you'd say old man"), and the fact that he married Rita "blackfish" Ora. I'm way less plugged in to what Jordan Peele is doing because I've never had an anon send me his call out post but I'm going to assume that the same thing is true of him: he understands the struggle of black people in the United States, despite this moment of basedness I probably politically disagree with him on many many counts. As for Jack Black he donates to autism speaks so he's coming for me and the Palestinians. Although that said so does Gaga and I'm still very much a fan of her.
I've basically had to come to terms with the fact that no celeb that I like the work of agrees with me about politics because all of them are rich and I am a communist. That's not going to stop me from liking their work, it's not going to stop me from bothering some of them at cons when I get the chance. Because again they're just guys. And most guys are idiots. I am an idiot about a lot of things. We don't expect Taika Waititi or Jordan Peele to know about every conflict in the world we expect them to make entertaining and perhaps insightful movies. I am not here because I think Taika agrees with me on all things. I am here because I want to watch a rom com about gay men who murder people, one of whom is just like me for real.
Anyway do your research

Just some rambling IWTV season 2 flashback to the dreadful ep of Lestat throwing Louis from the sky...
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️
In the trial episode, when there was a flashback to what happened that night with Louis and Lestat...well...from what we know now, they beat each other. And when Louis just smashed Lestat's face on their coffin so hard, they fell to the opposite sides, I laughed so fucking hard. Like WTF 💀💀 I was actually reluctant to watching any flashback to that episode but I am glad that they didn't make it what I thought they did back then. Anyways, back at them vampire boyfriends having a meltdown while they give zero fucks about their terrified, traumatized daughter, I calmed down a bit,, it's getting serious...
Then Louis tried to get up, looked at Lestat's face, and started laughing while saying "look at your fucking face". Cut to Lestat's face--bruh I was laughing like a psychopath at the man's bloody face 😂😂 coz he did look fucking horrible like a bloody clown, mouth half open! Eyes all like this: 🩸👁️👄👁️🩸
This is extra weird to me when I think about how the same event but in season 1, from Claudia's POV was so fucking horrifying and triggering to me. I almost wanted to shut the show down. Oh lord, I feel like I just enjoy seeing Lestat get beat up sometimes. That's ok. He deserves some beating. Louis gotta put a leash on him with how fucking feral he gets.
One thing tho, this was also Louis's retellings, right? In season 1. So, why did he say the story in such a way that it looked like, Lestat was just beating the shit out of him. Louis wouldn't lie just to make Lestat look worse than he already is. I don't get it coz, regardless of whether Louis did beat Lestat back or not, what Lestat did after that, by dropping Louis from sky high...that reaction from Lestat was already horrible enough on its own. Nowhere near a proportional reaction to what Louis did or said to him. So, Louis just...wanted to keep Daniel in suspense or what LOL Or was that scene from s1 supposed to be from Claudia's diary POV? I don't remember now if it was flashback to Daniel reading the diary. And I don't wanna watch that episode again. Might be that it's simply the show keeping us on our toes. If so then idk what to feel about the show doing that. I also don't think Lestat's face looked as bloody in s1 during this happening. Probably a continuity error. Or...a memory manipulation by Armand? Louis didn't at all notice the different retellings of the same night tho, neither did Daniel. Or maybe Lestat did have a bloody face.
Introducing the memory manipulation and memory erasing power gives some new meanings to previous events. Definitely, makes things more interesting. I do hope the seasons ahead are just as good as season 2 was. Even new powers. Show us Magnus and Akasha too. Armand looked shooketh when Lestat almost whisper-said the name 👀
I know that Akasha has a movie called Queen of the Damned. She looks...majestic. The Lestat beside her tho, looks like budget Edward Cullen. The movie has low ratings too. Idk if I should watch it and potentially spoil the future seasons. Or just wait for the next season and then watch it. I have seen a little bit of this film tho, on television. She just sauntered down vaguely in a disco. Hard to forget her, in that sexy attire and just fucking amazing look over all. Hot af
I already know some minor spoilers about Lestat. Well, one spoiler. That Lestat had...Alabama mommy issues 😭😭 what is this wrong with this French dude. Louis and Claudia really got paired with the most unhinged vampire...
[IGNORE EVERYTHING I SAY. I FEEL LIKE SHIT. I KNOW NOTHING.]

Hello~! I am taking the post I had from my old account and putting them here now! And what do ya know! It's spicy time! I will be starting off with dick head cannons... No one judge me lol. These will include the length, width, hair, just a general description (and maybe how good they can use it will be done later lol) NOW LET'S GET STARTED!
Warnings: Dick talk. Slightly accurate animal proportions for the beast men. Just SPICE!!!
Credits for art pieces below to rightful creator
Tumblr media
Heartslabyul
Riddle
To start off ain't no way this boy has a big dick with all the love to him
I will say he has an average sized one, about 4 inches, 5 when hard
And it's also not that wide, but like not completely skinny either
In fact it's actually a bit thicker towards the base
I see people say this and I agree that his tip is a pretty shade of red, a little bigger than the cock but not as large as the base
Now as for hair, he is definitely well trimmed, there's just a tiny patch there that's the same red as his hair of course
Overall it's a pretty cute cock
Trey
Say it with me now. LONG AND THICK!!!
Well, ok, let's be honest, it's probably not that thick, but it's thicker than normal and you could feel it
This boy is def about e 7.5 or 8.5, no question, won't take complaints
His tip is a little bigger, but not much, and more pink then red, though it does go bright red when hard
Now the hair is well trimmed but still pretty there
Def pressing into your nose while you go down on him with your mouth
And he'd like it too lol
11/10 would look at again
Cater
Excuse me while I just slides over a card that says it's pierced
hm? I didn't say anything
But for real, I bet that boy has at least got a Prince Albert piercing right there, hitting that spot
A good 7 inches long
The width is actually pretty skinny, but that ain't a bad thing lol
Cause know what?
His tip makes up for it
Not even including the Prince Albert, his tip is pretty large, but not so large it's out at proportion
And his whole dick fades into a nice blushy pink, with the tip slightly darker cause why not!
And it is def curved up a bit so it REALLY hits
This boy has a TRAIL!!!!!!
He decorates it all nice and pretty, leaving that bit to tease his simps with (me, I am simps)
He doesn't even let it get out of control
Hot as hell and he knows it
Ace
I wanna be mean to him and day "itty bitty dick committee" but... He's slightly above average, let's admit it oops, still mean 😅
I'll be nice to him and says he's about and 5.5 in height and length smacked ALRIGHT I'LL STOP!
But yeah, like I said, slightly abovebaverage
The width is actually the thickest of the Heartslabyul boys, can stretch you pretty damn good
The tip is the same width, and a more blushy red then Riddle, but not as light as Cater's
Now his hair, uh....
It's a bit of a bush
NOT EVEN THE ATTRACTIVE WAY, LIKE A MESSY WAY
He remembers every about 2 or 3 monthsbto shave it down, and he doesn't even dobit that much
So, dick is pretty, shave down the bush and I would say a 10 outta 10
Deuce
Oh, this poor virgin boy Imao
HIS DICK IS SO PRETTY BUT SO UNUSED!!!!
Like you're saying a good 6 inches, slightly thick where it counts, and pretty beyond belief
His tip is another one that is slightly bigger than the rest, in the cutest shade of pink
His hair is also almost a clean shave, like a little trail
In total it is so FUCKING PRETTY AND I WANNA-bleeps
Ah thank you, 15/10 would recommend
Tumblr media
Savanaclaw
Leona (animal leaning)
NOW PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HUGE DICK, AND I WANNA BELIEVE IT, BUT!!!!! BUT BUT BUT!!!!
Lion's dicks are tiny as all hell
(Don't ask why, just know I put myself through torture for entertainment)
So let's say for animal leaning he'd 3.5
HE'S HELLA THICK THO, SO HE'S GOT THAT FOR HIM!
Probably in the top 5 of thickest cocks
Gets thinner more towards the tip, but still thick
Tip is a nice pink shade, and it's only on the tip, everywhere else is the same color as his skin
Also, bumpy as hell, my lord
As little as there is it is covered in bumps and thick veins
BUSHIEST MOFO IN THE DAMN SCHOOL!!!
Like damn, take a razor to that shit, or at least trim it!!!!!
Literally Ruggie had to threaten to drag him to the bathroom and do it himself to get him to do it
(Still took to much effort to get him to do it though, my lord)
Overall, not bad, needs better maintenance though 😒
Leona (human leaning)
Just so y'all know, in future fics you will never know which type I am using, could be the more animal like or more human like lol, so good luck all you Leona simps on my page
Now, lemme just clears throat
LONG AND THICK!!!!
No matter which way, it is thick, but more human like is thick throughout, not skinner towards the tip
This man is like 8.5 inches, maybe 9, but for your sake, well say 8.5
As for the bumps they're not as bad and are now just veiny as hell
The tip is the same, along with the bush 😒
Again, big as hell, not bad to look at, LEARN TO USE A DAMN RAZOR!!!!
Ruggie
NOW THIS ONE IS THE SAME EITHER WAY!!!
Long. As. HELL!!!
Solid 7.5 hard inches on this man, no cap
SKINNY-!! Skinny, skinny, skinny! Still feels good, but don't hope for a stretch with him
In fact it could probably slide in easily!
That is.... If you can get past the tip 😈
Cause his tip is a good bit bigger than his dick!
And it has a fade to pink at the tip
Don't even get me started on the curve OOF!
I had a nice upwards curve so it really hits all the spots you want
Now for the hair...I'll admit, it's kinda bushy
NOT AS BAD AS LEONA, but probably a more tamed version of that
Also part of the trail gang (those are hella hot, convince me otherwise!)
Overall, very nice, and not bad to look at
Jack
Ok y'all, this one is hard to do animal accurate, because people are freaks and like animal dildos, but I'll try
OK, FIRST OFF, LENGTH! I'd give a solid 8 or 9!
It's actually paler then the rest of his body, with some parts a pink shade, his tip as well
Speaking of the tip, it's actually a bit smaller then the rest
Now for the width... Let's say when he's not hard it's slightly average in width, and when hard above average is the best way to describe it
It'll still feel good! So don't worry!
Now for hair I feel like he's between having almost as much as Leona or being like Ruggie and knowing how to trim it
Def more towards Ruggie, and def does it more often then those two!
But he just grows hair fast, he can't help it
A pretty good dick overall
Tumblr media
Octavinelle
Azul
Another virgin bay with a hella cute dick!!
Now this one is more on the average side of length, slightly above, standing at 6 inches
It's actually pretty chubby/thick, specially at the center and base
A nice blushy pink throughout it Seriously, it's so pretty and cute, wtf, gimme a chance with it-COUGH COUGH, ANYWAY!
The tip is slightly darker than the rest but not by much, and is also the same size as the rest
Now for his hair-wait, I mean, what hair?
Yep, he's hairless down there! He shaves it down to the skin once it starts getting outta control ACE, LEONA, TAKE SOME DAMN NOTES!!!
He has a slight curve right and downwards, and it feels pretty good! (Specially doggy style AHEM AHEM)
Overall, 10/10, would recommend
Jade
AHEHEHEHEHE, OH BOY, THIS MAN!!!
Long, 9 inches, VEINY VEINY VEINY!!!!
Gets thicker towards the base, but still pretty damn skinny!
I don't think I said veiny, did I? Oh well, I'll do it again VEINY!!!!
He has a slight curve to the left cause reasons 😃
Now, let's talk hair
Not bad down there, like there's some, but it's not a bush
And I'mma say it hey, no, stop. I'mma say it-HE HAS A TRAIL!-knocked out
Ugh, what? Oh
So yeah, pretty damn good dick
Floyd
Well...they are twins...in every sense 😅😅😅
The hair is also worst down there
DICKS ARE NEAR IDENTICAL!!!
SAME LENGTH, SAME WIDTH, SAME TYPE OF TIP, IDENTICAL!!
Now here are the differences
Instead of the left Floyd's curves to the right (you'll have to guess why~)
For Floyd I would say he is the less clean down there version of Jade, he is way more scruffy and jacked up down there
So I'll say, if he cleans it up a bit, he's golden
Tumblr media
Scarabia
Kalim
OH BOY, YALL BETTER BE READ FOR THE LEVEL OF SIMPING THESE TWO BRING OUT OF ME, LIKE DAMN!!!!! WHY THE WHOLE DORM GOTTA BE ATTRACTIVE!?!?!?!
Ahem, ahem anyway, onto the dicks!!!
.... Pierced, AHEM I MEAN WHAT?!?! But fr, he had a Jacobs ladder and a reverse prince albert, cause why the hell not 😅
Now, the length is more on the average side, standing at 5 inches
The width is pretty good!
Slightly above average but thicker towards the base
The tip is a vibrant red against his skin, as thick as the base, and just UGH, HE'S SO ATTRACTIVE!!!
Now the hair....meh, it's a bit of a bush, but more of a controlled bush
Overall, 10/10
Jamil
.... I am such a simp for these two 😂😂😂
ANYWAY, LET'S START OFF, HE'S 7 INCHES!!!
I feel like he'd be pretty damn veiny, with a very prominent one on the top of his dick
The width, more on the skinny side, but will still have a slight stretch for him
The tip!! His tip is more of a dark red, blending into his skin and fading halfway down
It's also the same width of the dick too
Now the hair is fairly tame down there!
...but he does have a trail and it's hot as HELL!!!!!!!
Ahem! Hey, don't hit me, I stopped-! knocked out again
Ugh, anyway, hella hot, 15/10, would recommend
Tumblr media
Pomefiore
Vil
OK, LET'S START OFF WITH HE'S PART OF THE LONG GROUP, GODDAMN!!!
A good 8 inches, with subtle veins
His width is on the skinnier side like Jamil, but also like Jamil, will give you astretch!
Like himself, his dick is just so pretty!
Ugh, I hate this pretty boy
/jk I actually don't mind him
Ok, back on track with the tip
His tip is slightly bigger then the width, and a nice pink shade
Now for the hair, if you think he doesn't take care of his hair down there either, you'd be wrong!
Like Cater, he knows how to decorate it to be pretty for his simps, so there is a barely there trail for that reason
The area they can't see is more compact and well shaved
So, 20/10, pretty nice dick
Rook
This mofo-
Ahem I mean, onto Rook!
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he's a 6.6, just above average
His width is the same, above average
He will be a stretch tho, but in a good way
He barely uses his dick tho, he mostly prefers using his fingers and tongue-
OFF TOPIC, THAT'S FOR ANOTHER DAY, BACK ON TRACK
The tip, is muah! bigger than the width and it just feels so good!
Now the hair It's almost like Vil's, because he is such a big fan
So, he has a slight trail, but it is more prominent than Vil's
But it's also a bit of a bush
Like a clean one, ya know?
So pretty nice to look at at least!
Epel
SWEET VIRGIN BOY WITH A CUTE DICK SQUAD!!!!
Seriously, like it's a bit on the small side, like about 4-5 inches, but still nice!
A bit chubby towards the base tho, but again! Still nice!
His whole dick is a nice pink throughout, and a darker pink on the tip
And speaking of the tip, it's about as thick as the base is
Now for the hair... Oh boy
Vil would have a heart attack if he knew about it (thankfully he has enough decency to not go that far)
It's a bush, and not in a good way
Like yeah, he trims it every once in a while, but his hair grows fast!
But overall, and hella nice dick!
Tumblr media
Ignihyde
Idia
OH BOY THIS ONE!!!
One word: messy
HE'S HELLA LONG, ABOUT 8-9 INCHES!
PRETTY THICK, LIKE ABOVE AVERAGE!
THE TIP IS GOOD TOO, A PINK FADE TO IT
BUT THE HAIR!!!
This boy is worse then Leona
Even the lion dorm leader would cringe
I'm not even sure if he could chop it off cause the hair down there is also fire! Like can he cut his hair?! How would it work?!!
But anyway, yeah 😅😅😅
So it's ok, but damn!
Ortho
ERROR, ERROR, SYSTEM NOT FOUND
Loading next file...
... File loaded
Tumblr media
Diasomnia
Malleus
Sebek, down boy, NO SEBEK DOWN!
...Anyway, ahem, Malleus-San
LONGEST BOY HERE, MY LORD!!!
10-11 inches, no cap
The thickness of it, not so much
I will say he is above average-SEBEK, WHAT DID I SAY, DOWN BOY!!
The tip is the same width and same skin color, no pink or red to it
Hair is the next one, and DAMN
He has a bit of a bush, but like it's not out of hands
So overall...Pray for yourself 😬
Lilia
Aha, ahahaha, aha, THIS MAN!!!
He ain't small!!!! I know I made the other shorties have dicks on the smaller side, but not him!!!!
He is a solid 8-9 inches!!!!!
Why, cause I said so, that's why
He's able to change the way it looks and he uses it
Relatively thick, but in an above average way
The tip is thicker then the base and also a dark red shade
The hair is surprisingly tame down there, I will say
So overall, pretty good!
Silver
IF Y'ALL THOUGHT I WAS DOWN BAD FOR SCARABIA, Y'ALL AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!!!
HE'S SO HANDSOME, AND FOR WHAT?
Ahem, anyway, onto the dick
A good 7 inches, slightly veiny too
(I'll just drop this rq-somnophillia)
HIS WIDTH IS ABOVE AVERAGE, BUT A NICE STRETCH
The tip is fading into a nice blushy pink shade halfway down
His hair is well trimmed...But this one is simply cause I'm a simp for him, he has a trail!
20/10
Sebek
...I like bullying him 😅😅😅
I'LL BE NICE TO HIM FOR THIS ONE THO
So, a solid 7-8 inches on this boy
Also part of the thick squad, kinda like an hourglass style?
Skinnier at the center and thicker everywhere else
The tip is slightly larger than the base and a violent shade of red only on the tip
He has a bit of a bush, and this one is just a fact, he also has a trail
So, enjoy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope you enjoyed these head cannons! Inbox is open and you are free to ask or request any of the ones listed in my dash! Enjoy the moment! 🥰

Hello! I just wanted to compliment your art style becuase it's so wonderful and comfy looking. I also wanted to ask, do you have any advice for other more beginniner artists?
If not, totally OK. Keep doing what you're doing!
:3
hello! tysm!!
idk what specific advice would be helpful for you, so heres some general stuff!
for my colour palettes i generally just generate palettes from paintings/art i like in procreate! idk if there are websites that can do this for u if u dont use procreate i imagine so? i dont often 100% stick to one palette for a piece, but sometimes i like to challenge myself to! its a good way of making you use colours u dont usually do. i find having a good range of palettes to choose from helps me decide what kind of vibe i want for a piece! something i always do when colouring is do a warm yellow underpaint under everything - this is partially so i can do 'alpha locks' for ease but also it gives everything a nice consistent undertone which helps! if im not sure on a palette when im doing the line art i will purposely not shade in sections to give me more wiggle room with the colour choices.
for drawing people i feel as though i should recommend doing figure drawing but i. do not do that so DJBSDKDB i hate figure drawing so much. when i draw people i just tend to take photos of myself in the pose i want and then if needs be look at some reference images of people w the body type i am drawing and then merge the two in my sketch. i like to look at shapes the body makes and exaggerate them - making things more round or more pointy. for both bodies and faces i dont think too hard about life like proportions - i just hve fun with it! whatever suits the character!
for general inspiration i use pinterest a lot - here are some sc's of some of my main insp board! and a link to my account if u are. curious i guess

Hello! I hope you're well ^^ um.. May I ask as a brand new starting artist, could you give any insight or tips that helped you learn to draw?
Ok I've been drawing for basically my entire life so it's kinda hard to come up with specific advice to help people who are starting out later in life, but here's some that I think will help any artist, new or not. It's a long list so hit the keep reading tab if you're interested in my art advice ramblings.
Draw what you like, and when it doesn't look as good as you want, keep drawing it until you're able to mentally break it down into its basic shapes and improve the form of the drawing.
If you need even more basic skills maybe focus on drawing just the basic shapes first until you can get them consistent! Cubes, Cylinders, Circles/Spheres are all the building blocks of most art (especially character art) so it's important to be able to draw those 3D shapes at different angles and perspectives accurately if you want to be able to do the same with characters and their proportions.
Use references to learn. Look directly at the things you want to draw when learning to draw them. Even trace stuff, so long as you credit what you traced from if you're posting it online. It can open your eyes to stuff you wouldn't think of just by drawing from memory.
Don't get discouraged if your art doesn't look "good enough" after drawing for a few months or even years. Everyone learns at different rates and it takes a very large amount of effort to get "good" at art (even though that shouldn't necessarily be your final goal)
Draw for FUN. The "draw every day" advice only works until you burn out, which will happen much quicker if you're drawing every day. Take it from me, a person who has drawn almost every day when physically possible since they were able to pick up a pencil. Don't get caught up in engagement or social media popularity either. It will just make drawing feel like a slog trying to chase a very very fleeting goal that is more often than not, almost completely unrelated to your skill level and more so luck. I didn't start posting my art online until I had already been drawing for like 14 years (not saying you have to wait that long, just that the internet is cruel and often unhelpful for new artists' mental states)
Just remember you have to start off bad at art in order to get good at it. And it takes time. A lot of time. It's *never* a lost cause at any point. So many people give up before they've even given themselves the chance to improve.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope that was helpful and I wish all new artists the best of luck!

Some Fatui Harbingers height and body type headcanons because I have so much brainrot for them right now it's not even funny oof
General warnings for talk of different body types and weights (all in a very neutral way - except for a brief mention of body insecurity under Scara's entry)
Ok so I'm going to put this list in order from tallest to shortest because that's the way that makes the brain happy - i dont have exact height ideas, but the first three are definitely unnaturally tall in my brain
Technically the tallest would be the big robot that carries Sandrone around but i haven't latched onto them. yet.
Capitano is built like a brick shithouse, he's huge, he's tall and broad and super muscly, but not in a bodybuilder way, think more like Maui from Moana (i do actually headcanon him as being Maori (or at least the teyvat equivalent idk) but that's an infodump for another post. He's the tallest and most physically intimidating, he's got a slope to his shoulders and his quiet demeanour gives him this very scary kind of vibe.
Pierro is close behind, he's quite tall, he'd be pretty close to Capitano's height but he has a bit of a slouch/stoop (perhaps minor scoliosis? i dunno) that makes him shorter, but his attitude and demeanour make him seem taller, so it's not that hard to mistake him for the tallest of the Harbingers. He's not as broad as Cap by a long shot, but he makes sure to layer his clothing to make him seem more physically intimidating - he puts a lot of effort into little visual things like that so he gives off the most commanding aura he possibly can.
Dottore (omega form) is next, he's freakishly lanky, with long, spidery limbs. I'm not sure why, but I keep drawing parallels between him and the ibis bird (which i think is a fun thing to play with, the sacred ibis vs bin chicken type deal), he moves in a very ... twitchy, erratic kind of way. He's very skinny and the long coats he wears definitely lend to that appearance (which he probably does on purpose, he likes being seen as something uncanny, something not quite human, just to throw others off and give him an edge in the interaction).
Childe is within the realms of like, normal human heights, not uncanny. He's lean, but not skinny - he's got a lot of strength that he hides with his clothes (not to make others underestimate him, he doesn't use those kinds of underhanded tactics), but he doesn't go out of his way to hide off the muscle that he's worked so hard to accrue.
Pantalone is slightly shorter than Childe (much to his chagrin), but I can definitely see him wearing high boots just to give him that extra bit of height over Childe because he's petty like that and enjoys lording it over him (the day that Childe figures out how to walk in platform heels it is OVER for him). He's very... elegantly shaped, I think is the word that's floating in my brain, he's got some definite curvature and shape to him that he likes to flaunt a bit with his clothing. He's got some softer bits to him that just show how he likes to enjoy the finer things in life. He's mastered the act of accessorising himself in different ways to suit the situation, he's subtly manipulative like that.
Arlecchino is tall and kind of stocky and definitely has a decent amount of muscle - I can see her having long legs with hip dips (hip dips my BELOVED btw) - she likes giving off a kind of butch vibe (i could actually see her wearing binders on occasion, she's very fluid in the way she presents)
Signora is a little above average height, I can't decide whether she's small and petite or on the broader side, but she's definitely got some curves to her!!
Damslette is sitting a little below average height, I can see her being stocky and a little on the chubbier side, but she's still like... physically small, if that makes sense!
Scaramouche is smack between Damslette and Sandrone - he's small, and definitely gets a lot of flak for it (which he hates). He's proportioned like a younger child, his limbs look a bit too long for his body, and he can sometimes be quite clumsy as a result. He's kind of lean, but definitely has some tubby bits (probably around the hips/thighs/cheeks/tummy/upper arms) that he can be a little insecure about sometimes.
Sandrone is decently below average, she's quite short and very very petite, perhaps even having some kind of chronic illness/pain that makes it difficult for her to walk a lot/do much heavy lifting, hence why she has her puppets do it for her. She's very very tiny and definitely on the skinnier side.
Pulcinella is itty bitty. He's tiny. He's a shrunken old man. If ANYONE in the harbingers complains about their height they get the spiel of "hey at least you aren't as short as Pulcinella!" (unless it's capitano who literally hits his head on doorways sometimes). He looks kind of small and frail, because he is, but he can still kick ass in a fight if it comes down to it! he has no issues with his height
