#Madeline sits in her bed at home having an existential crisis over her rival being two to three years older than her

[headfullof-ideas]

Something i thought about while writing more of a fic today, that I was also reminded of reading a tag @lamarie-artsy about something in a story of theirs being a Madeline in increment, was Ant and Maddie’s heights in general. They’re roughly the same height, Madeline being a bit taller, but the context for their height regarding their age group is WILDLY different for the pair of them.

Ant is twelve-thirteen years old during the show. He has been mentioned repeatedly throughout the show now as being small. It was mentioned, like, five seperate times during that episode with the temple and the giant stonefish.

Madeline is ten years old, and turns eleven later in the series. Her dad is really tall and Finn’s a decent height as well. The Junior Nektons, two years younger than her at best, are considerably shorter than her and Ant.

So, might I offer up a new headcanon of mine about these two, for all of you seven people of this fandom, to enjoy. Ant is, kind of canonically, pretty short for his age, and Madeline is actually tall for her age. This pisses Ant off even further when he realizes how old Madeline is, filling him with utter rage at the fact a ten-eleven year old he deals with on a regular basis is taller than him, and obnoxiously lucky in the genetic department by just being tall in general
