The SR-71 Blackbird.

A spy plane that flew at approximately 70 to 85 thousand (21,000 to 25,000 meters) above Earth's sea level and cruised at speeds of 2,500 miles per hour ( 4,000 km per hour) is one man's most most amazing creation in its class for the purposes of intelligence gathering.

When the enemy fired missiles and other rockets at the Blackbird, the evasive maneuver was simply, acceleration and climbing.

Nothing could reach this machine that practically flew at the edge of Earth's atmosphere and beginning of solar system space.

Enemy aircraft would run out of fuel before they could even attempt to get close to the Blackbird.

Missiles would burn out of rocket fuel. On some instances, the SR-71 outsped missiles and bullets fired at it.

Architecture, engineering and operation of this machine is phenomenal. Even though we outlived its usefulness, it would be awesome to keep this aircraft functional for research and demonstration purposes.

i must not become a bitter joyless hater. bitter joyless haterism is the mind-killer. genuine bitter joyless haterhood is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face my annoyance and frustration. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the bitter joyless haterism has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.

Hey big fan. How tall do you think the androids in DL are?

Not gonna lie, it's always a bit shocking to hear one has made anything to earn a 'big fan', but thank you very much nonetheless!

As for your actual question, though, I think they're roughly about human height, judging by art? Of course I've gone over how art sometimes varied wildly in height, but as mentioned in that post if you have seen that, Dragalia did seem to try and keep a 'comparison heights' straight, at least. They might not have kept straight if Euden was 4'11 or 5'9 but he was shorter than Ranzal and Luca, etc.

And what we see in the wyrmprints, they seem consistently human in size:

(Well, these are both with sylvans, but sylvans are human in height as well, ears notwithstanding, so the point stands).

As funny as it might have been if every android was big or really tiny, I think it probably makes sense that, being created and wished for them to be 'humans' by Maestro, they resemble humanity as much as possible.

Now, just because Laxi, Mascula, and the androids from their era are human sized, others might not be.

They're a recreation of the older models in another case of Dragalia's humans trying to resurrect older tech, the same tech that made the dragons Very Displeased 1k years ago.

Now, Eireene and Finni, who unfortunately have among my personal least favorite designs in Dragalia, don't really give any indication either of being a wildly different size than Laxi or Mascula. Like this art here, where they are about the same size as Laxi and in a similar 'dwarfed by Ranzal' category most everyone falls into to varying degrees.

That doesn't mean there aren't standouts.

Anassa, for example, seems to carry a much bigger presence in her art. Being something of a commander and command center for the 1k year old model androids, it stands to reason she might have more weapons built in, more data processors, or other things in greater quantity. While we don't have a model or comparative art to truly say for certain that she is bigger, she certainly looks it.

(Does she even have legs??? Is she a roomba that would be foiled by anything over a 15° incline or a sudden height change, ex, stairs??? I mean yeah, doesn't she fly and drop down the one time, but even then, there's any number of environments that might make it awkward or impossible to use it to navigate a hazard.)

Ahem. Anyways, the point is that the general androids, be it Maestro's recreations or their elder Nier:Dragalia -er, Ex Machina, a part of the Humanoid Liberation Agency/the ones living in the sky, seem to be human sized. But there might be a few special model ones out there like Anassa who serve a unique and important purpose to justify the time, energy, and resources designing and creating them to fulfill their goal.

Now, admittedly, androids in Dragalia would be a weak point in my general knowledge since they never really quite struck a chord with me enough to inspire a fixation on them, but yeah, as far as I can tell, they're human-sized with perhaps some rare exceptions. The most I can say that might not be wholly normal is their apparent tendency towards a sort of gaunt build, which, to be fair, it's not exactly as if they can build muscle to change that.

Hopefully that answered your question satisfactorily!

what's blueberry academy about and how can we join it 👀 I heard something about battle studies but we only just now got caught up to speed on all this pokemon world stuff

what I'm... wondering is if... it actually... has any assocation... with actual blueberries...

no that's just what it's called I'm pretty sure

(ooc: if sending this from anon ruins the formatting I'm gonna be so mad)

Blueberry Academy is a school situated a bit outside of Unova, in the water, bit of an odd placement. It is a very well funded school suited for those who want to hone in on Pokemon battling and skills pertaining to the sorts. I recommend having a decent amount of knowledge on battles before attempting to attend.

If you wish to join it is a very simple online or paper application if you are not recommended by someone. It may take a bit to get accepted and actually into the school, but very few people get denied nowadays.

Once Bart moves from Keystone City to Manchester, Alabama[,] readers get to know him better. Physically, he's a 15-year-old boy. He has hazel eyes and an impossibly full head of hair with bangs that go down to his nose. Bart's large head and feet are disproportional to his small-framed body. The boy has a big imagination--with the creators of Impulse often depicting his thoughts as drawings, rather than the standard text-based "thought bubbles" still common in the era. In one early story, Bart writes himself to be a a "monster hunter from the planet Korbal" in an autobiographical assignment for school [...]. When sent to the office for his insubordination, the hip school assistant principal, Randy, tells Bart he might have "quite a future in video games" [...]. The administrator asks Bart to write the dry paper that was requested, but encourages the teen to continue writing his fantastical stories for him so they could work on developing his talent. When Bart goes back home, after solving a weapons espionage case, Max attempts to tether the hero to reality, telling Bart that he needs to be "grounded in the real world." Bart returns to his autobiographical essay, writing himself as a 15-year-old from Keystone City, who was liberated from the dungeons of Mercury--certainly a swipe at "uncle" Max Mercury. This vignette is particularly significant in that it demonstrates two fundamental qualities about the character: 1) Bart doesn't believe in blind obedience to his elders--having grown up largely independent in his virtual reality world; and 2) the character's impulsiveness is intrinsic to his personality--demonstrating an inability to see the repercussions of his actions--a driving plot device for the series. Somehow, despite chaos ensuing because of that impulsiveness, Bart always walks away unscathed--at least, in the early run of the series. In a sort of vicious circle, the series sets itself up to require that these two defining characteristics be resolved in order for the character to evolve. Any sort of evolution would essentially redefine the character. To escape that influence would make the character no longer "impulsive"--effectively destroying the character as he was initially introduced.

Sometimes you see a post, it makes you incandescently angry even though it doesn’t really matter, you type out a long angry reply about why OP is wrong, you take a deep breath, and you delete everything and move on with your life.
