Harry: To remember how many feet are in a mile, you just gotta use "Five tomatoes". Harry: "Five tomatoes" sounds like five-two-eight-o and there are 5,280 feet in a mile. Wexler: To remember how many meters are in a kilometer you just remember "One thousand" because the system of measurement in the rest of the world wasn't invented by a drunk mathematician rolling dice.

Height Chart! ✨

(best viewed on the phone i guess lol)

I mentioned this a while back, I decided to update my characters’ height chart. Has anyone’s height changed? No, it did not. But I still wanted a new one. So here we are! At first it was supposed to be just the “main gang” as I like to call them but then I kept adding people and now here we are.

I don’t play with height sliders, in the game all my sims are the same height, but this is how tall I imagine they would be if we had height differences in TS4. Not sure if the feet conversion is correct, I had to trust the internet on this one lol. Metric system ftw

Caleb: 180 cm (5 ft 11 in)

Tyler: 178 cm (5 ft 10 in)

Bianca: 180 cm (5 ft 11 in)

Sharon: 176 cm (5 ft 9 in)

Rachel: 171 cm (5 ft 7 in)

Ross: 185 cm (6 ft 1 in)

Caleb V: 170 cm (5 ft 7 in)

Sunset: 175 cm (5 ft 9 in)

Dawn: 160 cm (5 ft 3 in)

December: 177 cm (5 ft 10 in)

Kieran: 174 cm (5 ft 9 in)

Vi: 170 cm (5 ft 7 in)

Prince: 163 cm (5 ft 4 in)

Claudia: 168 cm (5 ft 6 in)

So yeah. No one asked but here you go. I’ll probably do a part 2 someday, with the other half of NSB.

Headcanons and ramblings under the cut.

Yes of course Tyler is bitter about those two centimeters.

The height difference between Tyler and Sharon is different every time. They both wear high heels, so. And sometimes they even compete who can wear higher heels. You’d be surprised that neither has sprained their ankle yet. (because of their high heels competitions at least. there were probably injuries for other reasons)

I also like to imagine that they somehow got the same feet size, or very similar, so yes they do steal each other’s shoes all the time.

You know that “six feet tall and super strong” song from TikTok? You remember what people did to that song? The dances, the thirst traps...yeah. And you know who’s over 6 ft tall...I’m just saying

I don’t know if I’m amused by that or embarrassed for him and it feels like a slightly cursed thought but yeah he would join that trend

I was surprised how big of a height difference 15 cm is. Then I remembered how tiny I feel next to my cousin who is also like 15-20cm taller than me and it suddenly made sense.

I tend to make the heir (or the sim coming straight from the legacy family) taller than their spouse. I don’t know why but that’s a thing apparently

I do come from quite a tall family so that might be why? 😅

Maybe Darrin could be taller than Claudia though

Wait why didn’t I include Darrin

Oh. I didn’t mean to have Bianca and Ross wear pretty much the same outfit but I guess...fire people things eh?

Also this has been in my drafts since February or so and I just want it gone tbh

[fublebuble]

I posted this on twitter a while ago and totally forgot to post it here as well. Welp, here it is now. Just gals being pals. Two girls sitting on a bench, 10 centimeters (metric system ftw) apart, ‘cause they’re both gay.

[tempetepapillon]

Sooooo... I dunno if you know this, but the usa are actually on the metric system. They are one of the 17 original  signatories to the Convention du Mètre. It seems that the widespread insistence to cling to an archaic system of measurement is simply cultural stubbornness, similar to the UK. Wikipedia says:

In the United States metric units, authorised by Congress in 1866,[2] are widely used in science, medicine, military, and partially in industry, but customary units predominate in household use.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system

For once it’s not the us government being stupid and archaic, it’s the people... >.<

HS^2, re: Chapter 15: “Ok So There's This Flower”

Well, it's been a while since we read some, let's see what we've got!

"So There's This Flower" capitalization not withstanding, the lack of punctuation made me think of Roxy. Though I like Blaperile's theory it's Dave spreading the story Kanaya told him, though probably in a very butchered way.

> 376

Welp, Futurama title screen reference, hahah. Quick, find the parallels between all the occupants of the pirate ship & the Planet Express crew! :P

Dave - Fry Roxy - Bender? Jade - Leela

then any sort of parallelskind of breaks down. I guess regular Calliope is Zoidberg. That, or Karkat (crustacean).

> 377

Hah, okay so Roxy is the professor. What's the "good news"?

I'd like if Jade (and Calliope) were now part of the group again, I hope the situation has already improved enough by this point in their timeline.

Is Roxy gathering them because she believes they're nearing their destination and should strategize?

> 378

Pffff, Dave's the only one there. ... Okay, the only one there and paying attention.

Jade's off screen reading up on mushrooms? Did she immediately delve into developing her own quirky passtime for the trip? Or is there some hidden thing about mushrooms and cherubs we don't know about?

In any case, Dave would like some more in-depth info from Jade about what happened but she's too engrossed in whatever that is.

> 380

Hah! If ogling the camera's the only way in which 20-something Dave is shown to have grown some awareness about his state as a fictional character, it's enough!

> 381

20 nautical feet my FOOT. The buthering of the imperical system continues. Everyone, go metric already! :P

> 382

Dave's really only into Tony Hawk games, of course.

Ship etiquette? Is Roxy talking about pronouns, or of just, cleaning up after yourself? ... God, is he(? that Roxy's pronoun in this timeline?) pulling an intervention on Dave's slobbiness?

> 383

Hahahah, I was right! Roxy's pulling the parent card on Dave! And it's "he", right, Dave said it right there.

Pff, Dave tried to make it about fandom shipping.

> 384

Pffffffffffffffffffffff

Hah, they went at it for so long, Roxy came looking and saw the mess Dave had left. That's some Lion King 1 1/2 type perspective switch going on there. :P

> 385

Well that conversation took a turn for the worse. And Dave should realize Dirk wouldn't disapprove, I mean, he tried to set them up together before he left.

Pfff, okay, it wasn't that Roxy necessarily walked into their first kiss. It's just that, the laundry room has become their default make-out spot. Awkwaaaard.

> 387

Hah.

So Dave is trying to be openhearted here, but deflecting just a part of his and Roxy's personality.

So we're on a tangent about Dave's real-life Fruit Ninja habits. Him de-ripe-ing a banana. And the discussion of generational differences in slang. Though, being raised by carapacians, we can excuse Roxy from pronouncing things in a way that is unique to herself. "lole" and "luhmayo" though. :P

> 388

Nice, Harry Potter reference FTW. It's surprising it took that long, with Roxy's fancy for wizards.

But yeah, realtalk. What are they going to do about Dirk, anyway? They can't keep pushing this subject ahead.

> 389

Dave's still struggling with the meta importance here. Whether Dirk's right and if they're in a story, it needs a villain or not.

While Roxy thinks that it doesn't matter if they're fictional or not, if they're just going with the flow. I think she'll ask Dave to consider what Dirk did was at all excusable.

It wasn't. If playing the villain perpetuates the story but brings other people misery, which it has, then Dirk is on the wrong side of the moral fence. And he should know, if he's defeated, the story would still end! Even if it continues with other perspectives, the narrative frame of Homestuck as it was, focusing on the kids, will cease at some point. Nothing to do about that.

> 390

Welp, sorry Roxy, you'll not get that answer just yet. Somewhere on the ship, Karkat's raging.

Would be funny if Roxy accidentally turned his laundry pink.

> 391

Pffff. So Calliope isn't really 100% yet, it seems. They're leaving Karkat meat. As in, Meat Timeline, maybe? :P Though maybe Calliope in this feral state is just imprinting on Karkat?

And of course Karkat feared Calliope was in the vents. He's had a bad experience, even if it was just for a few hours. It's a trauma.

Time for another view on the MSPA reader! Guess they recovered from the mindblowing revelation of Lil' Cal being a vessel to Caliborn's soul?

> 392

Oh, no, it just went straight to Karkat. The boy is reliving the trauma, poor him.

The vent being partially open and a light breeze being felt in the room can't be good for him right now. Even if the opening's hilariously small and Calliope would never fit through it. Unless she can transform into a snake now.

> 393

I STAND CORRECTED.

Oh god. Calliope, no, stop. Guess being creepy isn't something only Lil Cal (and thus Caliborn) was good at.

---> Now a thing in Homestuck^2: Oh, uh, hey there Calliope.

Tagged by: @homosociallyyours, thank you! I like seeing you in my notes. <3

Nickname(s): Actually, Mia is a nickname. It can be considered a diminutive of my given name - not a traditional one where I come from - but just roll with it.

Gender: Female.

Zodiac: Capricorn.

Height: 166 cm. (Metric system FTW!)

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: Coffee and tea both. I can’t decide, depends on the situation and my mood.

Song stuck in my head: People Give In by Manic Street Preachers. I can’t think of a better album opener than this.

Last movie I saw: A Dutch film called Jongens (Boys). Very moving.

Last show I saw: The Simpsons.

When did I create my blog: I’ve been on Tumblr since 2010, I think. I used to post mainly Formula 1 stuff back then. Then after a long pause I’ve started with posting again about 1D on February 12th, 2017.

What do I post: Mostly 1D related stuff. And anything and everything that I deem rebloggable.

Last thing I googled: Lyrics to People Give In.

Do I get asks: Very rarely.

Why did I choose my url: It’s supposed to be Mia.fi. I loved Finland back in the day, so I added “.fi” to my nickname. And it just has stuck with me. I can’t imagine changing my URL.

Dream trip: Hiking across Ireland. Or hiking across Scotland.

Fav food: Pasta and cheese. I can’t eat much of that because of my diet, I consider them a treat.

Nationality: Czech.

Fav song: Oh, a hard question. I’m going with Whatever It Takes by Imagine Dragons. That’s a song I love driving to. Incredibly powerful, especially live.

Last book I read: I’m reading A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I have so many unfinished books that I honestly don’t remember what was the last time I’ve finished a book. It’s sad.

Last fanfic I read: I’m reading If I Was Stronger by haloeverlasting. Oh God, some parts are exactly what I’ve gone through - but I haven’t been able to write them down so eloquently.

Random fact: I have permanently damaged vocal chords so my voice sounds like I have a bad sore throat. People ask me at least five times a day if I’m ill. It sucks to explain it on a good day, it makes me sad on a bad day.

Oh, now the horrible part of tagging people. I’m too shy to tag someone randomly. So it’s you guys from my recent notes. Do it if you want and please ignore this if you don’t. And if you want to do it and you’re not tagged, please feel free and let me know. I want to get to know my followers.
