My very carefully grafted JLI height hcs in cm, mostly slightly tweaked from canon stats.

Shortest to tallest / extra HC babbling:

Oberon: short king o7

Tora: Slightly taller than the average Norwegian woman.

Bea: Wears heels so religiously that it looks a bit wrong when she's standing next to Tora without them. W/ heels; around Ted's height.

Ted: Not short by any means, a bit too tall to be doing gymnastics actually, but used to get a bit self conscious comparing himself to other heroes in the past. (Bea wore slightly higher platforms one day and Ted got intimidated.) Rounds himself up to 5'11.

Scott: Highfather is really tall but idgaf; Scott's comparatively shorter stature (to New Gods) is due to childhood malnutrition etc. Not like height matters when he's got a New God physique + a lither stature makes escaping easier.

Max: Used to artificially add height with insoles to pass as 6ft (he's absolutely read upon "Psychology of Leadership" etc. business world related bs literature back when and took that stuff to heart), but stopped after managing the League for a while. (Knowing Oberon will do that to you.). He got those "canon height" +2inches from his villain arc boots.

Guy: 6ft and proud, tho' I think he's confident enough to not care even if he was straight up short. (The comically large JLI boots definitely added some height but shush~)

Booster: Not lying when he says he's 6'5. He grew up with the metric system and 194cm does round up. Future athlete nutrition goes crazy, but so does future eugenics in general. (Michelle's tall too, taller than Ted.)

J'onn: Makes himself generally +10cm than the tallest human member of the group he's in, within parameters (doorways get in the way at some point) – to not freak out people too much – but still able to look over everyone. (In both senses of the word.) His normal form is even taller, so it feels more natural to him the closer he is to the height.

Barda: Apparently had a 7ft canon height at some point (has it currently?) so that's what I'm going with. None of this 6'2 crap. Furies should be tall af. (+I just think Scott and her should have a hella height difference.)

As a Boostle & Symbrock fan this actually healed my DC yaoi poll trauma.

Roy congratulates his little brother on making it so far during the war. Its been weeks and Connor still doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about. Meanwhile Kyle is covering his flank with hammers

"Dick did want me to warn you about Midnighter and Apollo though, says they will kill you if they think they have to, so uhh, I'd watch out."

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

i stumbled upon this poll very late and its such an experience to watch my fave ship fight like an animal to make it through the semi finals just to step on a landmine and kill themselves in the most fitting way possible its like poetry

KING YAOI HOPES WE HAVE ALL LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF LITERACY SKILLS.

[viittapaska]

YOU CAN LEAD A BOOSTLER TO A DISCLAIMER, BUT YOU CANNOT MAKE THEM READ IT.

[viittapaska]

Y'all... Maybe Boostle deserves 3rd place 🥀

Guys, now that Boostle won that one poll, can we just breathe easy and go back to scheduled programming (two pieces of fanart per week)?

me when dc yaoi poll is turning people evil

[viittapaska]

It's actually SO funny how every time RoyDick comes up I see like. 6 panels and one run that is completely divorced from the rest of continuity brought up as evidence

And meanwhile you put them against Boostle shippers and they're just posting the entire character arcs for Ted and Booster

When...

your own sister, (& your legacy's sister !!)

strangers, & multiple ex teammates

including Batman !!!

...insinuate about you and your best bro, I feel like it's time for some self reflection. 🥀

(tbf that Bruce panel is from Injustice after Ted had bequeathed his multi billion company to Booster – Injustice did a lot more than just insinuate w these two)

All while Booster can't escape the allegations even when he's not attached at the tip to Ted:

BLUE AND GOLD, EVERYONE — THE QUEERBAITED DC YAOI 💙🪲&💛⭐

[viittapaska]

A little new 💙Boostle💛 propaganda as we enter the final 48h:

Throughout the years, they've lived out of each other's pockets & helped the other out if they were broke/houseless:

... So of course they were also roommates:

(Yeah the silky bathrobe is Booster's:)

But indeed, for context: Back when Ted was broke and in a depressive episode because he got kicked out of the League, & waiting to get back into action w Booster's Team -> get his life back on tracks that way, but...

And even more modernly <3

[viittapaska]

I think it comes with the territory. Like, we call them the fucking blowjob brothers – it's never that serious :D

I feel boostle shippers have a certain playfulness to our discourses and threats of violence.

[viittapaska]

Dear Dickroy enjoyers,

Boostle fans are throwing around "hydrogen bomb Vs coughing baby" analogues not because we think your ship personally sucks and killed Ted Kord, no.

We'd be (and have been) saying it about pretty much any ship against Boostle in this entire tournament except for Midpollo.

We simply shill our boys that much because they're just. that. ship.

Together in 1 universe (TTG🤫), queerbaited in another, slightly queerbaited in the main, and most importantly in love (and usually doomed) in every single one. 👍 Literal definition of "I'll find you in every timeline."

May the best yaoi win! 💪🙏
