#Lizzie is so tall and it sparks so much joy

[minecraftbookshelf]

Handy Dandy Height Chart for The AU in Which All the Marriages Are Arranged as it exists in my notebook, taking into account species and worldbuilding headcanons. Breakdown below the cut.

Lizzie: Canonically approximately 10' tall. Absolutely glorious ocean axolotl demi-goddess queen. No notes.

Jimmy: Is just barely over 7' tall if he stands up straight and thinks Tol Thoughts. Lizzie considers him to be adorable and runty. Everyone else enjoys watching him hit his head on doorways. Would be physically impressive if he wasn't also the very definition of awkward beanpole.

Xornoth: Approximately 6'6", the third tallest ruler. They don't (usually) have horns in this AU but they would put them right at about the same height as Jimmy. Also hits their head on doorways but its less entertaining for everyone else and more intimidating because they very visibly begin immediately contemplating eliminating all witnesses to their embarassment.

Scott: A couple inches shorter than Xornoth, around 6'3"/6'4". Does not hit his head on doorways because that would involve leaving Rivendell, aka, his least favorite thing. RIP nerd.

Pix: 6'2". Very good at looking like a serious and knowledgable authority figure. Very impressive Priest King. (It is all lies he has no idea what is going on someone help him.)

Fwhip: Just barely over 6', 6'1" if he thinks Tol Thoughts, will hold so very tightly to those fractions of an inch he holds over Sausage for dear life.

Pearl: Farmer Queen is 6' Tall and buff as hell and you are more scared of her than she is scared of you. She is not scared of you. At all. Would absolutely keep a Ravager as a pet if given half a chance.

Sausage: 6' flat and sulky about it because Fwip is taller.

Joey In Heels: Joey wears shoes that make him tall.

Joel: Short king. 5'7". Lizzie had to make alterations to her house so it was accessable for him.

Gem: 5'6" and Fwhip and Sausage fear her. Her hat adds the height necessary for her to be level with them.

Joey Not In Heels: Is tall for an avian. 5' 5 3/4". High heels are his secret weapon. The wings add bulk.

Katherine: 5'2" Flower Faerie Queen. She is small and her teeth are sharp and when she smiles there is something just a little bit off about it. (In this house we love inhuman characters who willingly accomodate human morality out of kindness.)

Shrub Berry: Bless Our Streamer for giving us canonical character info like full names and height. 4'3", rides in on wolfback. Will remove your kneecaps but feel bad about it later.

🍄🍁 - give me lore for your lovely ladies

🍄 What are your OCs favourite snacks? Their favourite comfort food which always cheers them up when they’re down? Favourite meal to make? Do they enjoy baking and cooking and are they any good in the kitchen?

Tin Lizzy

She’s a fan of most pre-War packaged snack foods - the salty and savory kinds, specifically. Potato chips, jerky. If she can get fresh veggies she will absolutely go to town. She’s pretty much a fan of anything crunchy. When it comes to comfort food, Charon makes a really good wasteland stew - she doesn’t ask what precisely is in it, but it’s like liquid comfort for her. It has the added benefit of being pretty nutritious and good for the road. Lizzy did most of the cooking for her and her dad back in the Vault and is decent enough at it - she liked making pasta because of its ease and the amount of variations she could make on it. She knows how to bake thanks to a couple of home ec classes. Charon does most of the cooking once she recruits him, though. (He enjoys it a lot more than she does.)

Carmen

Her attitude toward food is utilitarian. Food is fuel. So when it comes to snacks, it usually ends up being whatever brand of trail mix she throws together - nuts, dried meat and fruit. When it comes to comfort food, if it’s warm and filling that’s all she needs - fresh cooked iguana bits, a brahmin steak, grilled cactus, whatever. When it comes to her favorite meal to make, it’s usually anything that she’s able to spice. She appreciates scent as much as anything. Carmen doesn’t particularly enjoy cooking and doesn’t know how to bake anything beyond unleavened bread - but she does enjoy the fact that cooking usually comes along with a time to relax and rest. She’s a good cook if you want stuff that will keep you going for miles, but for creativity and flavor she’s somewhat lacking.

Eleanora

Poor, poor Nora. Having lived in the world before the War, she has quite the experience with food. Thankfully, popcorn was one of her favorite snacks and is something she can roughly approximate with the Wasteland’s variety of maize (even if it’s missing wonderful artificial butter flavoring). She’s the type to eat when she’s anxious or nervous, so she has a wide variety of comfort foods but is usually drawn to sweets - before the War it was cheesecake, macaroons, lemon bars. Post war she’ll demolish a pack of snack cakes, so between her and Deacon they disappear pretty fast. If she gets the ingredients for it, being able to bake a cake is a transcendental experience for her. It’s a comforting process that helps add a sense of normalcy to the very different world she lives in. Nora’s enjoyment of cooking depends on her mood - in her melancholic episodes it depresses her for the same reasons it makes her happy. If someone else is around to distract her from her thoughts she enjoys the process - doubly so if they join in!

🍁 Where does your OC go when they need to have some time to themself? Would they ever have their own “comfort corner” filled with all the things they like? Do they have a favourite spot outside that feels like its theirs and theirs alone? 

Tin Lizzy

Enclosed spaces are comforting to her - they remind her of her childhood in the vault. There’s a closet in her house in Megaton she has as a decompression ‘shrine’ of sorts (also home to her rare teddy bear collection). When she ends up leaving the DC area, she turns a utility closet in her clinic into something similar. ‘Outside’ isn’t really terribly soothing for her, but if she can find a thick shrub or bush she can crawl into or under she likes having those as her peaceful spots. That habit, her size, and her initial skittishness all contribute to one of Charon’s nicknames for her being zaychik. (Bunny, basically)

Carmen

She likes to be tall. Carmen seeks out high places - climbing up onto rocks, scrambling up trees to sit on a sturdy branch. Polar opposite of Lizzy in that the closer she can get to the sky, the more relaxed she feels. Carmen’s always on the move, so ‘comfort corners’ aren’t really something she’s into. Her sentimentality fits into her pack. She’s definitely the type who needs her own space - at the Lucky 38 her room was off limits to anyone else, and in her home in Diamond City the roof is hers alone.

Eleanora

It’s pretty rare that Nora needs to have alone time - when stressed she likes to seek out others and take comfort in friends. At the times it happens, though, she likes to go to the sea shore - if that’s not an option, some place with few human structures. Her ‘comfort corner’ is essentially her entire apartment - she and Deacon have filled the place with various knick-nacks. If Marie Kondo was a thing in the wasteland, they’d be disciples - everything in their apartment is something that sparks joy. There’s a spot not too far from the alley serving as Mercer safehouse, a back alley garden where the sun hits juuust right in the afternoons that Nora likes to go to when she needs her space but doesn’t want to stray too far.
