It's killing me so much I have to talk about it. Do the people know. Do they know that the men in Youjo Senki are fucking giants.

I talked abt it with a few friends on discord like last month or so, but I need to yell about it on tumblr where more people can become aware.

Using a few images as reference, I did a bunch of measurements by counting pixels using Tanya and Visha (who we have sort of canon heights for) as measuring sticks, and this is what i came up with:

the shortest of them are 6ft? why, studio nut, why

if you want an explanation for my color coding/what the asterisks mean/where the hell did i get these numbers, that's under the read more. but yeah. why are they so tall.

ok so it started upon receiving these two images from a friend (thank you Pumpkin) that give heights for Tanya and Visha

Using some reverse searching I was able to find that these two images come from a game collaboration with a game called Alice Gear Aegis. Whether or not you want to consider the info from a game collab as canon information is up to you, but to me it seems accurate, so all my estimates are based on this data.

Another friend (thank you Luna) provided me these two images that I could use as reference to make some pixel measurements. While the first is a a cleaner looking image, I opted to use the second because it included Lergen, Rudersdorf, Zettour & Anson. I don't really care about the background 203rd members (sorry.)

So I cleaned the image up to get all the lines roughly straight and made them easier to see with some color coding. This is where the color coding on my excel sheet above comes from. This is also the image I used for my pixel counts.

And from here I calculated some ratios. This is where a few discrepancies come into play. So on my excel sheet above I listed that depending on whether you use Tanya or Visha as a measuring stick, you'll get a variance of roughly 10cm/4inches. This is because they're technically not perfectly aligned to one another.

For Tanya shes 140cm tall and 281 pixels. That means 1 pixel is roughly equal to 2.0071cm. When we apply that ratio to Visha though, we should expect her to come out to roughly 321 pixels (160cm * 2.0071). She's 339 pixels though, which would be ~168cm (339px / 2.0071). But we know that's incorrect.

The inverse applies as well. Using Visha (339pixels & 160cm) as a measure, that would make 1 pixel equal to 2.1188cm. That means Tanya is expected to be roughly 297pixels (140cm * 2.1188). In the image Tanya is actually 281 pixels, which would make her ~132cm (281px / 2.1188). Which we also know is incorrect.

This is a weird discrepancy I'm not sure how to account for, so I just said fuck it and went with both options. I set up my Excel sheet to include columns for using both Tanya & Visha as a reference to provide two different estimates, you can choose which you think is more canon.

Personally I prefer to use the measurements calculated using Visha as reference because a 210cm/6'10" Lergen is offensive to my sensibilities. To put it into perspective, I measured the door to my bedroom as 198cm/6'6". I refuse to accept this man being taller than my door.

Ok finally the asterisks:

* Why the note on Koenig? On the image, it's a bit blurry but it looks as though Koenig & Lergen are aligned to the same (pink) line. But when I look at it closely, it really does look to me that Koenig is maybe 1 or 2 pixels shorter than the line. Granted that's not a lot, but there is a small difference so idk.

** Why the note on Anson? In the image, it kind of looks like he's hunched over/leaning down a bit, he's not standing perfectly straight. While he is aligned with Rudersdorf (Green) it could be he's actually a little taller if he stands straight.

RICH ROMANCE || A BACHELOR CHALLENGE

EP 1. - PART 1

As the contestants enter the "villa" - more like a sumptuous gothic manor - the mingling begins. Will they become friends, or ruthless enemies? Who shall make the first good impression on Mr. Galvus? And most importantly, who. is. Kermit le froge?

Contestants by: @thebramblewood @plasmafruittree @havenroyals @riverofjazzsims @moonfromearth @plasmafruittree @invisiblequeen @bloomingkyras

Avery: (narrating) As we arrived to the manor, those of us who didn't have black clothes were offered new outfits. So we'd all match, I guess.

Avery: Needless to say, I am not sure how to feel about it.

___

Narrator: As the contestants change into their new outfits, Euphoria wastes no time getting to the bar in the dining room.

Narrator: And it quickly turns into a welcome party for the contestants.

Emet S. Galvus: It's not that I was too nervous to meet them at the door. I simply wished to observe them mingle before making my presence known.

Avery: (Narrating) That girl, Danae ...

Avery: (Narrating) I think she might be a vampire.

___

Matias: (Narrating) I was impressed when I saw the manor. But somehow, I was even more impressed by the balls of that girl who just took a shower right behind me. In public.

Visha: (Narrating) I don't want to talk about it.

Narrator: But not everything is going smoothly. In fact, tensions already begin to rise on day 0 ...

Annika: (Narrating) I'm not worried about Visha. From what I know of Mr. Galvus, he wouldn't want a woman who showers outside anywhere near his granddaughter. She stands no chance.

Annika: (Narrating) The one I'm really worried about is Danae. She is beautiful, and from what I've hard, dangerous. She might have an advantage here.

___

(Wine pouring noises)

Avery: (Narrating) I found myself getting along with that other girl, London, I believe. She's quite nice, and an artist like me.

Avery: (Narrating) I felt bad for her, about her grandmother. I but I can't let that sway me - this is my chance at finding true love, I can't squander it!

___

Narrator: And then, London goes for it, approaching the bachelor with wine in hand.

Emet S. Galvus: (Narrating) Unlike the common misconception, the death of grandparents doesn't really get me in the mood for much of anything, unfortunately. I had to give my condolences, of course, but ... not a great opener.

___

Euphoria: (Narrating) Not quite sure how I became the bartender for everyone, but once that was done, I was quick to grab my own drink.

Euphoria: (Narrating) I stayed a bit and chatted with Avery, cause I felt bad after London seemingly ditched her to go talk to the bachelor.

Euphoria: (Narrating) But then I ditched her too after she started texting while talking to me.

Narrator: Production confiscated her phone after that.

Narrator: And after Matias tried to impress the table with his impression of "Kermit le froge", the party was pretty much over, everyone dispersing across the manor.

Lore about the non-canon reality? Hell yeah-

Space Riders AU - @onyxonline

In Queen's Rage, Eve adopts a few kiddos. No one really knows how she got them or why but they know she's very protective of them.

Info on the kiddos:

Nikolai (16 y/o)

The first eldest, known to be a Doberman. He takes the role of leader of the child group and personally trains to become to serve for the Prototype. He's third to his mother's throne, Visha being the next heir.

Nikolai has seen the world and visited other planets. He enjoys seeing how the people of Eden still thrive despite all that happened. He pities Bolt for being late to confess to his mother, but knows he can't do much as Eve moved on.

Visha (16 y/o)

The second eldest, known to be a Raven Harpy. She's next in line for the throne and tends to copy her mother's mannerisms to be like her when she rules.

Visha very much hates the council, Space Riders, and Bolt for not trying to free her mother. She blames them for the downfall of Eve's natural benevolent stature and the rise of her might. She favors a few cultists and views them as family but doesn't get too close to them out of fear of being betrayed by them.

Lyra (13 y/o)

The first middle, known to be a Siren. She's one of the children that holds what was left of Eve's benevolence. She sings and dances, throws parties in the name of the Prototype. Although not in line to be queen, she enjoys the freedom of being a princess with no real duties to attend to.

Lyra has mixed feelings about the Space Riders. She knows a certain sunny captain misses their friend and sends her empathy but knows that if he tried harder, Lyra's mother wouldn't become what she is now. She knows that love is more difficult since she's part of the cult, yet it doesn't stop her from being a hopeless romantic.

Calia (11 y/o)

The second middle, known to be a Deer. She's the second child to hold Eve's benevolence. She loves crafting and sewing, making improvements for the cultists and assisting the Prototype when she can. She loves her family and the people close to them.

Calia doesn't interact with the Space Riders, staying away for her own comfort. She also doesn't like Bolt and distances herself from him. She cares a lot for her mother and hates seeing how no one truly stood up to her in the end.

Rodion (7 y/o)

The first youngest, known to be a Tiger. He's rambunctious and loud, having the biggest heart and sweetest blue eyes. He is always playing and amazed by what his older siblings do and tries to help them out but always seems to make a mess in the end.

Rodion isn't allowed in the presence of the Space Riders but he's rebellious and interacts with them anyways. He's always interested in their missions and stories, sometimes drawing to get better visuals. He finds the mystery Space Rider very cool and wants to be like him but his mother has mixed feelings about it.

Mia (6 y/o)

The second youngest, known to be a Angel. The baby of the group, Eve's special daughter. She is known to be mute and takes actions from others seriously, seeing whether she sees someone as a friend or not. She clings to her mother a lot and is very spoiled.

Mia doesn't have a particular opinion about the Space Riders and tends to follow a particular sunny captain wherever he goes, running into his crew a few times. She also likes the mystery Space Rider and plays with his tail at times (if he allows it). She's very observant and can be found anywhere because she follows people around so much.

If you guys are wondering if Eve gets a lover (not Bolt) in this reality, she does. But it's up to you on who it is or if she has two lovers.

If you don't know, I love doing the durge playthrough in BG3. It feels more fulfilling than the Tav playthrough, I love having some pre established personality and backstory for characters I play as. I have made 3 so far, let me show them off, lol.

This is Visha, she is an oathbreaker paladin! My third trans character I have made in the game so far, she is my favorite asdfghjkl. She is just evil and does not care. But, is super soft for Minthara and shockingly for Jaheria as well. I'd say her best friend is Astarion, friendly rivals 😅.

This is my first durge that I ever made, Lilith! Another paladin, but still has her oath. Oath of Devotion, which suits her since this is the redeemed dark urge playthrough that I have been slowly working on. Act 3 is so overwhelming if you save everyone 😭, its been a slow process. Romancing Minthara in this one as well, but she actually had a thing for Karlach in Act 1. Never went for it because of the urges. Friends with Gale and La'zael, is super soft for them. Lilith was devastated when La'zael was captured by Orin honestly.

And my last durge is Hesperia! My newest one, she is super cute. Romancing Gale as I said previously, she is so just asdfghjkl towards him. My heart can't handle how soft they are TwT. Another redeemed durge, will be doing another evil one in the future but I need a break 😩. I made her a cleric that is devoted to Mystra UNTIL Act 2, absolutely hates Mystra for what she is asking Gale to do. Now she worships Lathander, makes sense for her story and overall vibe. She absolutely loves Karlach and Wyll, besties forever~ She has already tried killing Gale because of the urges and doesn't understand why he still loves her.

Anyways I LOVE the durge, and I love hearing about other people's durges so tell me about yours if you want ♥️

‘ rahul kohli, cismale, he/him, 35 / 350 , illyrian ’ ― cauldron save you. it seems kieran acharya has finally made it to the capital, the second in command from the autumn court is said to be imaginative and is said to describe themselves with the smell of freshly falling leaves, chaotic baking afternoons full of messes, clashing swords and swear words echoing through the woods, healing and calming auras filling hearts close by and with all of this in mind their impulsive nature always seems to get them into trouble. may the mother hold them as they navigate this unthinkable time.

full name: kieran visha acharya nicknames: kie, kier age: 35/350 date of birth: february 8th gender: cismale pronouns: he/him sexual orientation: bisexual faceclaim: rahul kohli hair color: black eye color: dark brown height: 6'4 tattoos: illyrian tattoos (and some he'll never share) signature scent: vanilla & lavender

background:

kieran doesn't remember much before basic training. or perhaps it's that he doesn't want to remember. his whole world was based around his illyrian training. as a kid, all he could remember was picking up a sword and learning to fly. even the stress of learning how his wings worked was pushed so far back in his head that he couldn't tell you how all of it happened. but he was good at it, incredibly good at it and he knew it. kieran knew his strengths and weaknesses and made sure everyone else knew it too. despite all of this foolishness, the autumn court gave him a home. they allowed him a place to live and be himself.

he joined the autumn army, needing to find a kinship with others. kieran wanted to show his love to the court that gave him a life. but it was the best decision he'd ever made. there, he found his best friend, suho, the one that he'd do just about anything for, no matter what. rising through the ranks, kieran forced himself to train harder and harder each and every day to become as strong as he could.

but not everything was always so easy. kieran was far too impulsive for his own good and always found himself in sticky situations. but kieran was the kind that could always find a solution in any situation. and not just a generic solution, but instead, he came up with the most creative solutions he could. they were all incredibly creative, but at the same time, really bizarre.

due to him being horribly impulsive, kieran found himself constantly covered in scratches and bruises, and as a result, learned how to take care of himself. his knowledge of bandages and herbal tea remedies were always helpful to any type of healing he needed. in fact, he was incredibly proud of himself for it.

when suho became high lord, kieran, while shocked, knew that no matter what, he would support his best friend. becoming the second in command, he made sure to do the very best job he could. and her loves his life. it's everything he could want.

personality:

kieran is very impulsive, always wanting to go on an adventure, try something new, or in reality, do something really foolish. but he's very imaginative and loves to come up with new ideas for almost everything. he's very kind, loving, and sweet, but he does have rage issues and can freak out over the smallest thing. when he does, he tends to grumble and groan in gibberish and only suho knows how to get him out of it. his spontaneous nature isn't always a good thing and gets him into quite a bit of trouble.

there's more, but my brain tired.

Since I’ve been away from the Shandorans apparently all their favorite foods have been revealed? 

Apparently my boi Kamakiri likes the most things which are cloud bear meat, mountain vegetables and alcohol. Didn’t realize cloud bears were even a thing but carry on.

Braham likes Shark meat jerky which honestly I expected SOME kind of jerky.

Genbo likes cloud leopard meat which honestly makes me happy but only because I’d added cloud leopards in my story with my oc Visha, unsure if they were real, so to see that cloud leopards are in fact a real thing makes me happy. (also Lucci better hope they never meet lmaooo) 

Raki likes Pumpkin noodles.

Aisa likes Cloud Candy? How did she get that before the strawhats left, was this a readily available food? Was this list compiled post-strawhats? 

Wyper likes fucking barbeque which is extremely funny to me bc his friends are like bear meat... shark meat... leopard meat...  but he’s like nah bitch barbeque. Which I’m sure Oda means like barbequed meats, but as a former texan I picture the whole shebang of cornbread, coleslaw, mac n’ cheese... y’know normal barbeque things.

JJK oc posting!!

a lil bit of backstory for why I made this oc:

so, im in this DND campaign wthat my friend is DMing, and its based in the jujutsu kaisen universe and i jokingly asked DM if i could romance Gojo, and we eventually came to the agreement that if my characters cursed technique was romance based, then maybe. so thats how Visha was created :D

(its a villain campaign, btw)

(used a picrew to make him, i dont have much artistic talent when it comes to original pieces, unfortunately.)

So, character info:

name: Visha

age: 26

pronouns: he/him 🏳️‍⚧️

sexuality: Gojo <3

backstory: before he discovered his curse technique, he lived with his parents on a nice little street, and one day his street got attacked by cursed spirits, knocking him out and killing his entire family + nearly everyone else on his street. Visha came to just in time to see Gojo Satoru himself show up and take out the curses and thus saving him (even if Gojo didnt know he was there), before passing out again, only to wake up again when he.was on the way to the hospital. and that is where his obsession with Gojo began, him becoming a sort of savior in Visha's eyes. from then on, Visha made it his lifes goal to find Gojo, get his attention and making him fall in love with him, and he decided the best way to do that would be to become a strong sorcerer, but more than that, a strong curse user. (it is not a healthy mindset for him, thatbis intentional)

curse technique:

So, his technique is called Love Augmentation, and the base "spell" is called Enchant, which allows Visha to wink, flirt, or do soft physical gestures towards an enemy to temporarily bring them to his side to fight for him. and from there, once someone has been enchanted, Visha can then use additional techniques that do damage. and thats basically it that i can reveal for now abt the technique. i do have an ultimate technique, but for fear of the others in my campaign finding this account and getting spoilers, i cannot reveal it presently. (side note: this technique does not have to be used in just hostiles, it can be used in teamates, non-humans, and even inanimate objects, somehow)

and lastly, his domain expansion:

i dont have this fully worked on, but i have the basics for it. Its called Loveshack, (and also plays that song inside the domain) and it is a speed dating game show. also, similar to higurumas domain from the manga, ut has a no violence pact on the domain so no violence can be enacted whilst in the domain. once Visha has opened his domain, it places everybody caught inside it into roles as players and Visha as the host. the game goes as this: each player must try their best to enchant (though not the same way as Visha's technique hehe) Visha to escape the consequences of losing, while Visha has to remain completely unbiased. so if, for example, Gojo and Nanami both happened to get caught in his domain, Nanami would most likely win, even though Visha is very obviously biased to prefer Gojo.

fun facts:

Visha has canonically enchanted a red semi truck successfully enough that he considers the truck his ex. (this is mostly a joke within the campaign.)

[cardansriddle]

came here from wattpad to ask:

doest tdid!tom think visha is in love with arwen? their interactions are so tense with tom constantly implying that arwen is just a friend to visha.

also i love the double POV thing so much. reading tom's internal struggles and literally calling arwen a god in his mind had me SQUEEELING

hi hi!

to answer this simply, yes. tom has a suspicion that visha's feelings for arwen are not just platonic. is it true? well we'll find out in future chapters ;)

writing tom's inner monologues is my fav thing ever!! he's in denial but he knows how down bad he is for her.

Ok, so...

In order to prevent the outbreak of the Second Great War, the mythical spy "Pixie" must talk with the notorious Erich von Rerugen, a former general with a reputation as a warmonger and new head of a tumultuous pro-war party. However, after the Great War, Rerugen has gone into personal isolation, only attending private events for his children.

"Pixie" decides the best way to convice Rerugen to not start a second war is to adopt a child to insert into the same academy...except women can't adopt alone according to law.

Dressed as a man named Loid, "he" adopts a young girl named Anya, unaware she's a psychic. And now, in order for her to attend the academy, "Loid" has to get married!

Meanwhile, a mysterious assassin, born Viktoriya "Visha" Serebryakov, needs a boyfriend to fool her best friend and chosen sister Erya at an upcoming party...

tldr: Spy X Family AU where Tanya (still reincarnated and a girl) is Loid, Visha is Yor, Anya is Anya, and poor poor Erich is considered a horrible warmonger when all he wanted to do was get away from that terrifying "Pixie" girl.

Yor and Visha DO share Saori Hayami as their voice actress... and I will admit, I've thought about a Youjo Senki/Spy X Family crossover before. I like this, though it'd probably require more commitment to write than just a one/two shot so I'll put it in the "eventually" category

[koi-koi-fish]

Youjo Senki college AU part 2

Zettour:

Business professor. Grandpa energy. Well liked and respected by students. Though Tanya is his best and favorite student he's still professional enough to not focus on her and gives all his students equal attention. If anything he gives Tanya less attention because he knows she can handle herself. Enjoys debating Tanya on economics and business practices. Wine connoisseur.

Rudersdorf:

History professor. Best friends with Zettour and they frequently go golfing together smoking cigars and drinking whisky (Zettour prefers wine). Though Tanya is his best student his favorite student is Neumann, however he dislikes that Neumann is a stoner. Former heavyweight boxer and occasionally gives Neumann advice. Super into sports, especially football. Part time coach for his grandson's football team.

Ugar:

Student counselor. In his early thirties, happily married, and has a 3 year old daughter. Is aware of Tanya's circumstances and feels bad for her. Hired Tanya part-time as a babysitter (Tanya is actually good at it). During holidays he invites Tanya over to spend time with his family (Tanya occasionally accepts. She mostly spends time with Visha). This is as far as he goes in giving Tanya special treatment. Like Zettour, he's professional enough that he doesn't neglect the other students.

Lergen AKA Rerugen:

Dean. Is the only one that knows Tanya is a troublemaker but doesn't have the evidence to prove it. Though he doesn't irrationally hate Tanya he believes she's up to no good. Dislikes Shugal and his lack of safety regarding students and his experiments. Believes nothing good will come from Tanya and Shugal working together and that Tanya will become a weapons manufacturer for the US military having Shugal design the weapons.

Shugal:

Engineering professor. may or may not have a time machine. Used to be an atheist but after a near-death experience became a hardcore Christian. Likes to have Tanya test out his contraptions because she's small and light so has the smallest affect on performance. Makes Tanya pray before testing his experiments (which is why Tanya hates him). Is aware that Tanya hates him but doesn't care. Shugal respects that Tanya is pragmatic enough to work with someone she hates (him) to get things done. Shugal convinced Tanya to work for him by giving her a couple hundred thousand dollars (which she put into investments) and promising her that once she founds her own business she can have some of his patent rights and sell his inventions.

[okay-victoria]

What do people think of Tanya? AKA: Actually, a lot of people agree with Lehrgen

Summary: WHOOOOO BOY. You know it’s going to be fun when my subsections have to have their own subsections. Briefly, there is the Good [people who like Tanya both personally and professionally], the Bad [people who like/love Tanya professionally but not personally], and the Ugly [people who ideally, Tanya will never speak to, look at, send mail to, or be in the general vicinity of ever again]. 

I would say most people fall into the “Bad” category - they recognize her value as an officer, sometimes to a worshipful degree, but on a personal level range anywhere from thinking she’s a creepy child to actively disliking her. Unfortunately for Tanya, the people that fall into the Ugly category are as a rule higher-ranking than the ones in the Good category, and most people in the Bad category seem to like her specifically in her military role, and it is questionable they’d want her as even a coworker outside of that, let alone as a friend.

The Good

People who’re in here: People who have only ever heard of Tanya in the context of the Silver Wings award, people she interacts with in the Imperial Navy; rando soldiers; someone kinda high up in the later-war Eastern Army command; Ugar

People who only know her from Silver Wings:

V1/C1

Describes the nice aura people would see in someone who wins the Silver Wings.

The Navy

V3/C2

A naval officer does assess Tanya as having a predatory look, but doesn’t seem to think particularly badly of it, he just notes it, and then says “Degurechaff was a fellow soldier he could be proud of, which was why he extended his hand in utmost seriousness to wish her well.”

Rando Soldiers

There’s no real good single quote on this, but over time Tanya comes in to reinforce various units and leaves behind various impressions, ranging through Good, Bad, and Ugly, but anyway, there almost have to be low & middle ranking officers and soldiers who are presumably nothing but grateful to Tanya for rescuing them, even though we never get much of anything from their perspective.

Others

A superior officer of Tanya’s in Eastern Army command, in V5/C1, gets a transfer request for Tanya’s unit and reflects he is sad to be losing her.

Ugar - I don’t have down any specific pieces, but IMO it comes across in the LNs that Ugar is generally well-disposed to Tanya and doesn’t have the positive professional/negative personal thoughts that most other people close to her do.

The Bad

People who’re in here: Tanya’s academy/war college instructors, the 203rd battalion & later Kampfgruppe, Zettour, Rudersdorf, Generic Superior Officers, Romel, Lehrgen’s professional opinion

Tanya’s Academy & War College Instructors:

V1/C1

Tanya’s zeal during academy scares her instructors.

V1/C4

The instructors scrawled “abnormal” across the top of Tanya’s file.

“In the academy, we were told over and over – and, for some reason, over again – to love our troops. Weirdly, now that I think about it, I feel like they emphasized this the most when talking to me.” <= Tanya...you’re...you’re so close.

V1/C5

Mentioned that some teachers in the academy are on Lehrgen’s side of the What The Fuck Do We Do With Tanya debate.

V3/C5

Romel’s summation of her personnel assessment notes that at least on paper, the academy and the war college gave good overall evaluations of her.

203rd Battalion:

V1/C3

[Visha] “The moment she turned her icy cold eyes on us like we were objects to be appraised, I shrank from her in spite of myself. People might laugh at me for being afraid of such a little kid, but those eyes reminded me of the way a cat looks when it’s playing with a mouse, which creeped me out”

[Visha] “I was different from Lieutenant Degurechaff, who could calmly nail fleeing soldiers in the back with optical sniping or explosion formulas. I was relieved because I wouldn’t have to shoot.”

V1/C5

[Visha] “Was she an agent of the devil or of God? It had to be one or the other. Ahh, I can’t believe I have an ally more horrible than the enemy. She’s not human. I would bet my life on it. Me and a few others saw it once. During training, one of our teammates dropped like he was dead. The captain gave him a good kick, and before we knew it, she was back on his feet. I had been staring into the abyss of death myself…the captain heaped abuse on me. But I know, I saw it: she charged into the avalanche to save me. Even after my friends told me that she tossed my busted body aside like a used rag, I believe. She is definitely a good commander, even if I’m not sure about her as a human being. Of course, we all laugh and bad-mouth her…if the captain is an apostle of God, then only the devil can possibly exist.” <= in good news, Tanya, you are currently winning on your quest against Being X and mostly making people believe that he’s the Devil for allowing you to exist!

V2/C1

[Weiss] also refers to Tanya as a vampire

[Weiss] thinks Tanya is arrogant

[Visha] “her thought is That’s so low, Major.” <= this is in response to Tanya pulling out her child voice to announce they were going to bomb Dacia’s factory.

[Weiss] “Weiss has only known her for a short time, but even he can pick up the displeasure his superior doesn’t bother hiding. Her mood is as dangerous as nitroglycerin. When Weiss quietly takes a step back, everyone discreetly follows suit. Nobody wants to be so close to Major von Degurechaff when she’s irritated.”

V2/C5

[Grantz] “If the devil exists, it has to be our instructor, the commander of the 203rd Aerial Mage Assault Battalion, the legendary Major von Degurechaff. The way she smiled. The way she looked at us like we were maggots. The way she seemed thirsty for blood. I’d believe she had tried to kill a rebellious underclassman or crack his skull open. If I screw up on the battlefield, she’ll definitely kill me. That’s how threatened I felt by the instructor who just had to also be my advisor…I wanna cry.”

[Grantz] “This was the major who had once said during a speech at the academy that deadweight should be killed…This is crazy. No one said it aloud, but it was the look on everyone’s faces. This was a nighttime mission to abduct enemy soldiers…Magic Second Lieutenant Warren Grantz realized he was shaking. My survival instinct was screaming. I wanted to avoid the war, the combat, the killing. I was hesitating. But one glance from Major von Degurechaff was enough to subjugate that instinct. She was far more terrifying…I was so terrified I hardly felt like myself anymore…How could the major just calmly sing a hymn?”

[203rd banter] Visha asks if anyone wants to trade places with her so she doesn’t have to be with Tanya all the time, and Weiss and Grantz are not itching to take her up on the offer.

V2/C6

[Grantz] Is really, really bothered by how chill Tanya seems to be about Arene.

V2/C7

[Weiss] Reflects on all the horrible things Tanya has put him through, but ends his reflection on the note that he understands why it was necessary to prepare them for war.

V3/C5

“Apparently, the troops serving directly under her thought she was a great field officer” <= Romel re: Tanya’s personnel file

V4/C5

“‘Please have the 203rd be part of your Kampfgruppe. All of us in the battalion wish to continue serving under you.’”

Tanya doesn’t get what she wants, is then pissed, and it gives off weird abusive-parent vibes where all her children try to flee and not be present, and for the ones who have to be (Weiss & Visha), they take it by flinching, cowering, praying to God for Tanya not to explode, etc.

V5/C4

[Visha] “Reality is far too unreal. She’s crazy. There’s something strange about her...The colonel cackled – no, she giggled, smiling like a child. It was positively surreal to see her eyeing the enemy with her tender gaze and licking her lips. She snickered, but what was so funny? She was terrifying...Dripping red liquid. Pink things that used to be humans, flying everywhere. And opposite that scene was a beaming little girl. It was so surreal, it made more sense for me to suppose I had gone insane. No, maybe I really did go insane. The sight of my superior officer nodding with satisfaction and beginning a confession of her faith was horrific. I didn’t get even a glimmer of madness from her beautiful, innocent eyes. They were the eyes of a stubborn servant of logic, full of pure reason. But that’s what was horrific: those eyes stuck on that doll-like face.”

V5/C5

Tanya has some good banter with her Kampfgruppe soldiers and it seems like everyone’s getting along.

V8/C4

T: ‘Are you saying you throw yourself into the slaughter purely, justly – sane and sober? Don’t make me laugh. That’s a broken man talking. Going to war after downing some liquid courage with a grimace is much more human.’ He frowns for a moment, perhaps thinking to argue back, and then whines, ‘So are you drunk, then, Colonel?’ <= yes, a random officer from Tanya’s Kampfgruppe just asked if she was drunk and that’s why she’s always throwing herself into battle so excitedly.

V8/C5

T: ‘Glad you’re safe, Lieutenant.’ V: ‘Thank you, ma’am. That said, I would have rather you spared me from getting caught up in that attack.’ T: ‘What choice did I have?’ V: ‘What is that supposed to mean?’ Serebryakov puffs her cheeks out in a pout, which is surely a sign that she’s feeling better. <= Tanya, Visha wanted you to apologize, not excuse yourself, damn!

Zettour

V1/C5

“He doesn’t know whether they should praise her original ideas or call her insane.”

“Apparently, she hasn’t forgotten that she once said she wanted a battalion. She, a first lieutenant, to a brigadier general…something liable to provoke antipathy? She’s already done that.”

“The smirk on Tanya’s face reminds Zettour of some unpleasant rumors he’s heard about her.”

V2/C5

Zettour both remains horrified that Tanya was able to speak so frankly about a world war, yet he is sympathetic to the fact that she could do it because she understood what would happen.

V4/C3

Tells Rudersdorf that he “unwaveringly trusts” her military decisions.

V4/C5

Tanya comes to Zettour to request better units than he’s given her. He finds the request beyond arrogant, seeing as how pressed they are for men, especially for the fact that this is shortly after the Moscow situation and her battalion has “gone too far and been a handful”.

“Somehow, he didn’t think there could be that many damaged kids in the Empire like this young teen back from the battlefield. And actually, regardless of how he felt about it as a soldier, personally, the idea of interacting with them was terrifying.”

“But Degurechaff was unfazed and inquired about their experience with killing people. She saw people as products, and she was asking if they had been tested – that was the nuance. Could such a completely utilitarian view of people even be taught? Certainly, the army is an organization that pays attention to individual functions. Substitutability and cost consciousness are two factors hounding everyone. But can you really judge a human being by those criteria alone?...That innocent face and her straight back made her look something like a surreal doll. Doesn’t…Doesn’t anyone think this is strange?”

Zettour is mentioned to have originally had the same doubts about Tanya as Lehrgen, but after her performance he claims he is ready to “swallow any pill, no matter how bitter” (I think working with Tanya being the bitter pill) to win the war.

Zettour gives Tanya a little discretion to commandeer some equipment, she takes a lot of discretion. Zettour sort of laughs at off saying “this was Degurechaff” but does also mention that Tanya’s actions “amounted to a borderline interference in Supreme Command.”

V8/C4

Zettour is impressed with how Tanya has trained Grantz and thinks that if she wasn’t so good in the field, he’d put her in education.

“Sure, Degurechaff may have been broken, but not as an officer.”

Rudersdorf

V2/C1

Rudersdorf says that Tanya has a “distinct” [read: probably means difficult] personality, but if he just divided people into useful and not useful, she was useful.

V4/C3

Zettour and Rudersdorf debate Tanya, and he mentions that he only thinks she is talented in the military realm.

Generic Superior Officers

V2/C5

Tanya has a misunderstanding with her CO on the Rhine front. He wants her to train some new recruits normally, she mistakes it as saying “well, kill as few of them as possible, but do what you gotta do,” she gets kind of reprimanded over it.

V3/Intro

“Performance Evaluation: Major Tanya von Degurechaff:

Counselor’s Notes on character and conduct [this is printed normally]: Abundant loyalty and excellent fighting spirit. Follow regulations to the letter. Devoutly religious.

[this part is handwritten] Has a bad tendency to take matters into her own hands. Competent but as difficult to handle as a mad dog.”

V3/C1

“Some of the officers even added another thought in the back of their minds: Major von Degurechaff might actually be able to wring out even better results.”

V3/C3

Tanya goes wild on her base commander when he won’t let her sortie to Brest to prevent the French army from evacuating. <= Oddly, IIRC, no one ever like, apologizes to Tanya for not believing her, which is kinda rude, so mostly the incident reflects negatively on her instead of being a balanced: ok she did violate some rules, but...maybe if we’d listened to her we’d have avoided the rest of the fucking war, so seems like it might have been called for?

V3/C5

“The most important evaluations during a war are the ones from the battlefield, and those were all over the place.” <= Romel, re: Tanya’s personnel file

“The second was that although the evaluations were contradictory, she had achieved enough that she was considered an outstanding soldier. Awkwardly, regardless of how she was as an officer, as an individual mage, she was thought very highly of. Her number of kills was among the highest on the Rhine front.” 

“In any case, strictly as a mage, she was unrivaled. As an officer, too, she was by no means incompetent. So they must have been giving her to him as reinforcements and as an excuse to get her out of their hair. Honestly, he felt like they were foisting off their problem on him. ‘They’re telling me to take a mad dog out on a walk with no leash?’ He let slip a complaint. Maybe it was just prejudice, but that wasn’t what it felt like to General von Romel. After all, he was basically being asked to bet on a bad hand.”

V4/C2

Everyone on the General Staff realizes the huge amount of fallout from Tanya attacking Moscow. The backstory of this is that when Tanya asked for permission, the General Staff thought she was just going to do a fly-by and freak them out, not attack the city. It pretty much kills any opportunity they had to negotiate a quick settlement with Russia in the cradle.

Romel

V3/C5

Romel’s first meeting with Tanya pretty much goes: “so arrogant it’s invigorating...unbelievably insolent...in addition to her self-important attitude, it exuded heavy sarcasm...not only was she arrogant, she was clearly horribly warped.”

“Any commissioned officer would understand just from hearing her make that one comment why the Northern and Western Groups couldn’t control her. Having a mage battalion drop out of the command structure was almost like losing a whole division” <= ie, Tanya’s previous superiors must have really disliked her to give her up.

“She simply decided she would be a patriot if it was good for the nation. In short, she’s a capable lunatic, but the bad part is she doesn’t realize she’s twisted…She’s crazy. And competent. And more sincere than anyone I’ve ever known.”

“Without a doubt, she’s going to end up being the most horrible person I know. And she’ll probably also be one of my most reliable friends on the battlefield.”

V3/C6

Romel reflects that she is a mad dog, and that she is an ego-crushing entity for the average officer. <= while Romel never brings this up, this has a *ton* of important real-world implications for Tanya, especially assuming men still have more than a little trouble listening to women outside the military. Even if you believe the best rumors about Tanya, you still might not want to hire her because she’s going to be better than you, and most people hate that feeling.

V4/C1

Tanya goes to the Eastern Front, and Romel reflects that he is sad to lose her and that once you got used to her, he found her easy to work with.

The Ugly

People who’re in here: Lehrgen’s personal opinion, Some wartime randos, OG Eastern Army Command, OG Northern Army Command, Imperial Government, people who mostly know Tanya from her Arene reputation, Western Army Command; Implied Future View of Tanya

Wartime Randos

V1/C5

“Some of those who had been on the front lines had a strange reaction to the name [the 11th Goddess] we picked. They claimed it was the worst joke they’d ever heard.” <= ie, Tanya was the Devil, not a goddess

V2/C1

Tanya is happy that Dacia has zero airpower. She displays her happiness by smiling maniacally and skipping around her tent. Everyone thinks Tanya is happy that they just got invaded again and the war is growing and she can go kill people. 

V2/C5

A kinda random infantry guy is still having nightmares about Tanya in like, 1960, and reflects back on how he felt when he heard Tanya casually call for friendly fire to go right through where her men are flying. He questions why anyone listens to her.

“But when I replay the memories in my mind, I can’t help but shout, You monster! A hero, a star, and outstanding magic officer. You, ma’am, were a great officer. To all of us imperial soldiers serving on the Rhine lines, you were a god...Yeah, she’s a god – an immensely powerful one who presides over life and death. Her words, brimming with a spine-chilling anger, swept over the area as if she was planning to attract all the enemy hostility like moths to a flame. Major von Degurechaff had bared her fangs. It invited a violent reaction. The Republic wanted to hunt the devil. In other words, they devoted all humanity’s wisdom to killing the god of death. Gods don’t die, but those of us next to them? …They were right to call her a god of death. She killed the enemy, and the enemy killed our men. Then the noble major, with a glance at all the dead in the mud, took her leave. Fucking hell.” <= and you thought Lehrgen hated her. But, again, real-world implications of this could very well be that post-war, Tanya is a total persona-non-grata as someone that had a high degree of influence on how rabidly everyone fought against the Empire, and how the Empire was treated in the aftermath. I don’t make it out quite that bad, but it could be really rough if someone wanted to make it that way.

V4/C5

“The Guard Division had been on many assignments dealing with formal events, so we had experience…But what is that? That absurd, expressionless, doll-like creature was giving orders to people who appeared to be bloodthirsty mages just back from the war zone.” 

“Could it really…could it really be possible for a child to wear such a smile?...Her hands were soft and would have looked more natural holding a doll, but instead, this odd, human-shaped creature spread her arms as she delivered a welcoming address. No one. None of the high-ranking officers present could raise an objection to this thing. The veteran mages all obeyed this inhuman being in the form of a person.”

OG Eastern Army Command

V1/C5

“The members of the eastern army had been openly angered by her annoyed look until days before, but now their faces were pale. She said exactly what she thought: ‘Incompetent, pitiful, lazy, arrogant, unprepared, mentally disabled, inattentive, no powers of observation’ and her conclusion was that ‘all mages of the Eastern Army group require reeducation’”

“The ranking officers from the regional field armies who had come to protest ended up bearing the brunt of the General Staff members’ critical glares.”

OG Northern Army Command

V2/C3

“With no idea when Colonel General von Wragell might explode in his seat at the head of the table, Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff von Schreise was inwardly annoyed, but at the same time, the atmosphere was so tense he wanted to bury his head in his hands.”

“Schreise couldn’t be the only one thinking that he would have thrown her out immediately if she weren’t a representative of the Central Army’s view.”

“‘You’re very humble, aren’t you?’ one of the staff officers murmured, curling the corners of his mouth into a smile that was more of a sneer.”

“Schreise had never seen a major with such a big head without making light of him…without hesitating even a little, she – a mere battalion commander – matter-of-factly gave her opinion to the staff and even had the audacity to disagree with them. Even with the sacred, inviolable General Staff’s power behind her, she was nearing an inexcusable challenge to authority. A head could be allowed to swell only so far. There’s a limit to what can be tolerated, even for recipients of the Silver Wings Assault Badge!...the major, though still rather new, was readily crossing a line of which all graduates from the war college should have been aware.”

V3/C5

“There was a pile of especially severe criticism from the Northern Army Group. They said she was transferred after voicing a clear objection to those in authority.”

Imperial Government

V2/C5

Tanya sinks a Commonwealth vessel, she is court-martialed, the military says she did nothing wrong [which I agree with], but the diplomats want to punish her to appease the Commonwealth. After the not-guilty verdict, Tanya’s smug-ass smile makes everyone go: umm...should we really have let her get away with this??

V4/C2

She then further makes the diplomats hate her over her Moscow raid.

V4/C3

Rudersdorf warns Zettour that Tanya going overboard is earning Zettour criticism from the government.

V4/C4

During her second court-martial, Tanya doing the most in Moscow manages to fracture the relationship between the government/supreme army command & the guys more in charge of the day-to-day war, like Zettour & Rudersdorf.

International Post-Hoc View on Arene

V2/C6

“They gunned people down like they were so many targets in a firing exercise. They got ‘points’ for shooting people. People had blocked themselves in, so they used heavy-explosion formulas to bombard whole districts. Those are all painful memories of the tragedy being shared today. Even counting only the confirmed deaths, the city of Arene lost half its population that day. In order to avoid the heavy responsibility for each soldier that would result if they went into the city and had to visually confirm their targets, they aimed to cause widespread fires via artillery bombardment from positions surrounding the city. A portion of the documents shows that they had chosen targets that were likely to spread the flames as proof-of-concept for firestorm.” <= the reporter doesn’t know this, but Tanya is the person that comes up with that proof-of-concept for creating a firestorm, as well as the person that creates the case to make it legal to repress a civilian revolt with a military. To me it seems like Arene is presented as the Tanyaverse Bombing of Dresden, except how it would be viewed if Germany had won WWII.

Tanya thinks about how if the Empire loses, her reputation is in the toilet if it becomes known that she did this.

Western Army Command

V2/C6

[The Lt. General or above that is in command of the Western Front] “A terrifying report or a proposal from hell. The one who thought of this was either a lawyer so cunning the devil would invite them to join forces or a criminal. This way of thinking is practically inhuman. Only a devil who forgot their reason and conscience in their mother’s womb could come up with such a tactic. That someone would equate having the technical capabilities for an operation with actually doing it…Are they deranged?”

“Luckily, an army corps commander summoning a mere major is extremely rare. Exceptional though it was, it meant there was a chance he might have to summon this monster again someday…Doing his best not to look directly at the monster straightening her posture in front of him, the army corps commander accepted that it was for work and met her.”

“The principles behind the actions of this major in front of him were impossible to understand using anyone’s logic or emotions. Her inorganic eyes compelled you to conclude that her thoughts, her frameworks, her way of being were all warped.”

This guy keeps going on and on more than I have here, tbh he’s one of Tanya’s main haters. It’s fine Tanya, it’s only the guy in charge of Western Army Command, who listens to him?

“I hope no one noticed that I just flinched, thought the army corps commander, sensing that he was distinctly afraid of her…No worries about what? He deeply wanted to ask what she was planning to do, but he held back. He told himself it was surely better not to know…But there is probably no one more suited to being a soldier than you. Perhaps you feel at home in hell on the Rhine front.”

V3/C5

“The Western Army Group declined to evaluate her, saying her good and bad points neutralized each other, so it was difficult to rate her. Furthermore, she had attempted to resist orders.”

Implied Future View of Tanya/The Parable of the Salamander

V4/C5

“From what I heard, the Salamander is adorable and very clever. If you show it affection, it’ll get attached to you. Like a German shepherd, it can become a trustworthy member of the family. Sometimes it begs or plays tricks, but apparently, everyone ends up overlooking these things. Of course, Mrs. Legen grew angry and screamed that it went too far, but…Well, in the end, everyone doted on the Salamander. Because when it’s even more reliable than a German shepherd, how could you not? At some point, though, the Salamander’s requests and pranks grew to be too much. But what do you think happened when no one was sympathetic to dependable Mrs. Legen, who had continued to angrily scold it the whole time? That’s right. No one was able to stop the Salamander! Of course, the Salamander loved and cherished everyone. But sadly, there was no one to teach it right from wrong. So the Salamander never realized that everyone disliked it. Soon it had exhausted everyone’s patience.” <= for reference, Tanya commands the Salamander Kampfgruppe; this is told as a cautionary tale that Andrew says circulates throughout the future Empire.

Your Author’s Take on Tanya’s Reputation vs Reality

The above should have real-world implications for Tanya’s personal life as far as friends, and for her career both within and beyond the military once the war is over, because, you know, people talk. Anyone who phones up an old pal because said old pal had some quality time with Tanya and they’re curious what she’s like is probably not going to receive a glowing personal recommendation, and the higher up those people are in society, the worse it is likely to be. 

Even for people who think she has a genius applicable beyond the military sphere, outside of extreme circumstances people generally don’t want to employ anyone, no matter how smart, who is known for being unpredictable, uncontrollable, arrogant in the extreme, abusive towards coworkers, manipulative, possibly just straight up evil, etc etc. Within the military, after the war I would expect her to be hampered by the fact that a lot of people won’t want to work with her unless there’s a really pressing reason they need her skillset.

I can’t believe I’m bringing this show up from years past, but she’s sort of in the same position as Dr. House from the TV show - famously talented; famously toxic in the workplace; only one place will employ him, and at a much lower salary than his reputation should command, and even so, thinking that he could get away with that in real life is pushing the suspension of disbelief for the show. The same goes with friendships - very few well-adjusted adults are willing to befriend The Cool Asshole in real life.

When it does happen IRL, those relationships usually aren’t healthy & happy, and can easily end up with borderline-emotionally-abusive undertones because the follower is afraid of losing the leader, and molds themselves to fit what the other person wants so as to be an unchallenging, uncritical presence in the life of their idol.

For a story about an adult man reincarnated as a young girl fighting in magical WW1.5, YS manages to put a surprisingly interesting twist on the Main Character is a Cool Asshole Without Consequences model, with Tanya getting away with it in the present due to extreme circumstances, not realizing that the war is the only reason she’s getting away with it, and facing many implied future consequences for it.

While it’s entirely possible and often completely necessary to handwave Tanya overcoming this for storytelling purposes, as you can’t go many places story-wise if Tanya is as screwed as it sounds like she’s going to be, standard reality is that she’s gonna need to do some serious legwork to dig herself out of the hole she’s in, both personally and professionally. 

I appreciate that the crux of a good Tanya story is often Tanya thinking normal reality will apply to her but then bypassing normal reality to end up somewhere she never intended on being, much to her chagrin, and readers therefore may feel adhering to realism violates the reality of Tanyaverse. 

For the purposes of this story, I have chosen to stick with where the preponderance of evidence leads and apply a good amount of normal reality to Tanya, because that is exactly what allows me to proceed along a different avenue of Tanya misunderstanding things and ending up somewhere she never intended on being, keeping to the spirit of Tanya stories. Plus, Tanya doesn’t seem very intent on growing as a person in the absence of consequences and I need my character growth drivers.

...and I can’t avoid admitting I still end up handwaving some portion of those consequences for Tanya, since, as stated above, it’s...hard to go anywhere with a story if you don’t.

Headcanon: When they were children, Renault always took his younger brother Darion with him when he played with Sally Whitemane and James Vishas, because Alexandros told him to do so and he did it reluctantly

Seems legit. But Darion strikes me as someone without a lot of friends in life. Most of his significant connections were formed in adulthood and unlife. So... **shrug**. But as a youngest sibling myself,  I do understand this happening. and it did happen in my childhood.
