#inspired by the fact that the ears make Tighnari like a half a foot taller than Zhongli and I don't know how to quantify this man

[nightmareonpeachstreet]

Cyno: my boyfriend -- he’s 6′5″ --

Alhaitham: Tighnari is 5′4″.

Cyno: 5-- I’m sorry have you met Tighnari? just because Tighnari’s taller than you doesn’t mean you have to spread rumors about him--

Alhaitham: for the last time, his goddamn ears do not count.

Cyno: yes they do they’re part of his body.

Alhaitham: no they do not that is not how height is calculated.

Cyno: not when they’re on the side of your head because that doesn’t change anything, you’re still the same height -- Tighnari’s ears are upright most of the time though.

Alhaitham: you two know he’s delusional, right?

Dehya: don’t drag me and Candace into this stupid conversation -- obviously the ears don’t count--

Candace: well of course his ears would count, if they’re on top of his head--

Dehya and Candace: ...

Candace: ...they’re part of his body, love.

Dehya: Candace...babe...saying his ears add to his height is like...like saying your hair makes you taller.

Cyno: that’s not the same thing at all, Tighnari’s ears aren’t just made of fluff, they have skin. and cartilage.

Alhaitham: if he can lower his ears then they don’t count towards his height.

Cyno: bending your knees doesn’t change how high you measure, though.

Alhaitham: it doesn’t change how high he can reach.

Candace: but we’re not talking about wingspan -- that would be like saying your neck shouldn’t count in your overall height because it doesn’t affect how long your arms are--

Dehya: oh my god how did you actually drag me and Candace into this I hate academics so much.
