I need to know, I’ve looked for a while and can’t find anything (unless I’m just bad at looking) about what Lute’s height is. I’m just curious since she wifey and I wanna know her height. Do you have like a headcannon for her height?
I THINK SHES BETWEEN 6FT AND 7FT TALL !!!!
ok so bear with me here, but in these photos next to adam, she's roughly 2-3 heads shorter than him, so she's roughly 2-3 feet shorter. we know that adam is roughly 9-10 feet tall, so it would fit that she's probably around 6-7 ft tall.
plus, here is a comparison of vaggie and charlie's height. here, vaggie only just reaches charlie's shoulder. we know that charlie is 6,5, and vaggie is probably around a foot shorter than her.
in this photo vaggie roughly reaches lute's shoulder, putting her at about a foot shorter than lute. using this info we can assume that charlie and lute are relatively close in height. the perspective makes it appear as though vaggie is standing closer to the viewer so we can attribute that to the fact that she's slightly taller compared to lute when compared to charlie.
i sadly couldn't find a comparison of lute and charlie next to eachother, but i've overall come to the conslusion that lute is around 6 to 7 ft tall (maybe 6,5?).
my 5,2 ass would absolutely climb her like a tree btw.

diluc's sun symbolism and parallels with alchemy
the magnum opus, also called great work, is the alchemical term for the process of working with the prima materia (or aether) - primitive formless base of all matter - to create the philosopher's stone - substance capable of turning base metals into gold or silver and, additionally, believed to make up an elixir of life which made rejuvenation and immortality possible. all metals in alchemy are associated with celestial bodies, gold and silver being associated with the sun and moon, respectively.
the original four stages of the magnum opus included:
nigredo, the blackening
albedo, the whitening
citrinitas, the yellowing
rubedo, the reddening
alchemists used to believe each of the metals grew under the influence of a particular heavenly body and so the connection between metallurgy and celestial bodies came to be. the process of the magnum opus can, therefore, be seen not only as the transformation of impure metals into gold or silver but as the transformation of night in day, which ties with its cyclical nature. if nigredo and albedo are symbolically connected with the moon, citrinitas and rubedo are tied to the sun.
besides the straightforward association betweent the cosmos and alchemy, the process can also be interpreted under a psychological lense. the first metal, lead (representing aether), is the personification of the ego, which must be purified in order to free the soul. is is through the lessons of time that transcendence of the cycle of life and death (like a samsara) is possible, becoming, at the end, beings filled with light and life - as pure as gold, or the sun.
in summary, what happens in each step:
nigredo
all ingredients have to be cleansed and cooked extensively to a uniform black matter. psychologically, it is referred to as the "dark night of soul" and it's the stage of confrontation with the shadow within and it represents putrefaction and spiritual death.
albedo
washing away of impurities, bringing light and clarity to the prima materia. it represents cleansing and spiritual enlightenment, often depicted by the imagery of the white elixir or moonlight. this process symbolises the growing awareness and integration of personal opposites – your anima and animus, the feminine and masculine aspects within all individuals.
citrinitas
besides the literal change in color, it symbolizes the enlightenment and dawning of knowledge as materials are purified and perfected. it's the drawing of the "solar light" inherent in one's being meaning the reflective "lunar or soul light" is no longer necessary. it signifies maturation and a step closer to achieving the ultimate goal of alchemical work. it can symbolize the emergence of consciousness from the shadowy unconscious.
rubedo
final stage of the process, it signifies the achievement of the goal. it’s associated with the act of coagulation where the material achieves absolute perfection and unification and it encompasses the ideas of unity and integration (conjunction), symbolizing the full realization of the philosopher’s stone. the philosopher’s stone is not merely a literal stone but a concept that embodies perfection, enlightenment, and ultimate knowledge. attaining it means achieving unity of opposites and representing the redemption and transformation of base matter into spiritual gold. it's an attempt to integrate the psychospiritual outcomes of the other 3 stages into a coherent sense of self before re-entry in the world, the merging of the ego and the self, resulting in a balanced and fully realized individuality.
it was through researching a bit more on the symbolism of each stage that i recognised the parallels between diluc's character and the two final and consequent steps, which i believe he embodies.
citrinitas as a stage of awakening, being associated with the rising sun or dawn - imagery that surrounds diluc -, and rubedo as the reunification of opposites to create the whole. rubedo manifests through symbols like the phoenix (bird reborn from its ashes, illustrating regeneration and the cyclical nature of transformation) and its colour is akin to things like fire or blood (as an embodiment of life), that are also alusive of transformation.
diluc's character - his red aethetic, his association with fire, dawn, birds of knowledge and the phoenix, the blood he spilled throughout his journey (the gloves with red palms) - and his ministrations as the darknight hero, facing darkness and illuminating the night with his flames, mirror both citrinitas and rubedo quite perfectly. starting with his own name that is derived from diluculum, or 'daybreak' in latin. his family owns the "dawn winery"; and, his 5th constellation is called "phoenix, harbinger of dawn" - which shares name with the sword "harbinger of dawn", that "once shone like the sun", reminiscent of diluc's own path shifting from proudly and openly having the title of "dawn knight" as part of the knights of favonious to secluding himself in the shadows after his father's death.
the rebirth aspect of rubedo is very akin to diluc's own life too. the person he used to be transformed completely after his 18th birthday. not only design-wise, with the shift from light coloured clothes to primarily red and black, but also his views and personality.
unlike his outgoing and unrestrained demeanour during his childhood, diluc became a reserved and quiet adult. he believed in the system (knights of favonious) and the honour of serving his paeople as part of it. that innocent devotion and good intent suddenly changed when he saw his father die due to the knight's inefficiency and he learned of the ongoing corruption and willingness to taint the image of an innocent person for their own benefit. after a period of rage, diluc decided to take the safety of the people of mondstadt onto his own hands and started purging darkness during the night bringing light to people's lives as the darknight hero, becoming a vigilante. this "fake" light diluc used to represent contrasts the "true" light he gained after maturing. much like albedo adds light to the prima materia, but that isn't the light necessary for transformation and enlightment (sun light). rubedo is also, specifically, associated with antecipating the emergence of a crowned king or a figure wearing red clothes and one of diluc's titles is "uncrowned king of monstadt".
with diluc's assocation with withcraft and the hexenzirkel, and my belief that the ragnvindr are connected to alchemy and, perhaps, khaenri'ah, i wouldn't discard the possibility that these parallels might be intentional. but regardless, i feel like it's a fun detail. especially when kaeya is so associated with blue, silver and the moon (eclipse dynasty).
there's actually an alchemical stage between citronitas and rubedo called cauda pavonis (peacock's tail), a state between "sleep" and wakefulness. in this stage, instead of association to one colour, an entire array of colours appears, like the iridescent tail of a peacock. this is a bit reminiscent of this dainsleif quote about khaenri'ah, that talks about people "who dream of dreaming". an array of colours is lso interesting because of the connection between light and the different elements (elements originating in the light realm, realm of the dragons). traveler's ascension gemstone also remotely looks like a light prism instead of a one colour/element gemstone, like other characters. and we know, similar to the third descender, traveler is compatible with elements in teyvat.
this breakdown in colours or components is what paves the way for the unification that follows. this unification in alchemy represents the union of opposites, a sacred marriage of the polarities inherent in the universe (e.g. sun and moon, king and queen). the act of combining them leads to the birth of something new and transcendent, an harmonious whole - philosopher's stone. psychologically, it represents introspection, confrontation, and recognition, as well as acknowledging and embracing the diversity within. though i don't think this stage is particularly reminiscent of kaeya besides the duality inherent to his character.
i don't know if anyone will find this interesting but i thought it would be fun to make a more extensive post on it so here it is!!
