You'll also have to work in Uzi being the camera thing in actuality now too. I think that's probably a side effect of being head of the Solver hivemind? Do you think Uzi would be aware of another Drone activating Solver Code when/if it happens?

// UHH good question! //

// i’ll probably think of that later //

// Mod (me) is uzi fictionkin, and this blog is kinda based off that- so i’ll see if my memories kinda line up with that!

don’t think i’d really have any way to know if someone else was using the solver thooo… //

well, it's been a year since i found you all...

My dear maggots,

This is a long letter, but I owe it to you, and I hope you read it. One year ago. That's when I made that fateful Good Omens post. I'd joined tumblr a couple of weeks before that, in some part for Drarry, mostly for some kind of community.

You see, the month before, I'd just dropped out of college, not even halfway through the first year. I'd been isolated by nearly all the students, and the administration took their side. Of the few I'd considered friends, only one checked in on me after. My high school friends were busy with their own college lives. It's a long story, and a sad one, but this isn't about that story.

Hopped up on reading too many tumblr screenshots on pinterest, I threw myself into the hellsite, and finally was able to talk to a couple of people. Some of you have run into my I need a friend post. For once, I had some kind of interaction. And then my dash was flooded with Good Omens and so I made a post trying to figure out what the fuck was going on with the gay angel and demon.

I was in freefall. I'd long since passed the edge of the cliff and fallen over, and everything in my life was upended, and everything that I'd valued about myself, I'd lost. I was in freefall, and you caught me.

Delighted by my utter dumbassery, apparently, you crowded around me and offered theories and fanart and posts and lore. You laughed at my stupid jokes and pulled me in to watch the show with you. You read my summaries and named me the Mascot of your fandom. You were all so, so kind.

Which is why I adore the Good Omens fandom, and why I'll never leave, even after what Gaiman did. Because yes, I'd interacted with him before things went down, and sure, he was involved in the journey, but this isn't about him. I didn't even know he existed before this year. This is about you, and me, and the community that we created. He doesn't get to take that away.

And then, even once I'd watched the show, you stayed. You became my family. You adopted me into your fold. You began to talk to each other, too. Some of you made friends, some of you found qpps, some of you fell in love with each other, some of you found family. And you thanked me for it, but I don't think you understand, it was thanks to you. You did this. You found a sad, lonely boy with a weird unhinged sense of humour, and you saved him. If you were saved yourself, well, I am very, very, glad. Because you deserve that. You all do.

Whether you've never interacted with me with words or whether we've had hours long phone calls, whether you found me out a year ago or last week, whether you're part of the good omens fandom or not, it doesn't matter, I want to say thank you. You should know that no matter what else happened, you are so deeply good. And kind. And you helped me.

I'm in art school now. You were with me while I was searching for a college. While I wondered if I should even join one. You were with me the day I did the entrance exam. You were with me on my first day, and every day after that. When I was at the hospital or at home or on holiday. I knew I was never alone. Because I had you.

You never have to be alone again, either. You gave me a family, and I will do everything I can to keep it safe. I love you, so, so much.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’m working on a drawing of the team so I needed to compare their heights so now I’m going to talk about my headcanons and my reasons why :3

P.I.X.A.L.: 6 ft 2 in / 188 cm

I debated having her be the same height as Zane, as I think that would make the most sense as her original body and Zane’s new body were built using Borg’s equipment. I also think Borg would need a lot of room in order to create a highly intelligent robot that functions as a human would, therefore would need to build bigger. A lot of those robots that can walk around and self balance irl tend to be pretty big. Pixal used to be the same height as titanium Zane, but when she rebuilt herself she made herself slightly taller than him (on purpose, as they met when he was shorter than her, so it felt right).

Zane: 6 ft 1 in / 185 cm

He used to be about the same height as Jay in Season 1 but then the others started growing and he became the shortest briefly in season 3. This is because Dr. Julien built Zane to be his child, so he gave Zane a young appearance. But when he built his titanium body he wanted to have something more mature looking, so that he could look like the older teen he was getting to be and could then pass as an adult once he was older. He purposely made himself just a little bit taller than Cole just to mess with him (and he wanted to be the tallest).

Cole: 6 ft / 183 cm

Cole is just very big to me. Friendly giant vibes, y’know? Like big teddy bear. That’s all I have to say for him. He’s just genetically lucky. Plus I feel like it’s typical for the Masters of Earth to all be tall. They are tall like mountains. Plus controlling the earth requires lots of energy and strength, so they have to be bigger.

Nya: 5 ft 9 in / 175 cm

She’s taller than Kai but you can’t tell at first as they’re similar heights. She was supposed to be shorter but due to Kai becoming a ninja at a young age, he stunted his growth. Nya was older than Kai was when she became a ninja, so she had more time to grow.

Kai: 5 ft 8 in / 173 cm

Genetically speaking, he was supposed to be much taller. But ninja training is rough on the body. I think of it as similar to when kids are in gymnastics as kid, the amount of exercise/impact of the sport on their body often stunts growth. Plus I think Kai would always make sure Nya ate first when they were kids, so his nutrition wasn’t always the best. Nya doesn’t know about this and he will take this secret to his grave. Not even their caretakers or babysitters knew. Kai started styling his hair up so that he would look taller than Nya. He’s kind of jealous that his little sister is taller than him. He would totally wear inserts in his shoes to give himself a little bit more height.

Jay: 5 ft 6 in / 168 cm

Libber gives me very short vibes, and Gordon gives average height vibes, but Jay takes more after his bio mom than his bio dad. (It’s like Gordon’s genes didn’t even try. You could never tell that Jay is biologically related to him just by looking at them.) So he’s shorter than average but his bio dad was good for something and gave him some height. Jay used to be insecure about his height and it took him the second longest on the team to reach his full height (Lloyd took the longest). Him taking so long to grow is why Cyrus Borg said that Jay “looked shorter.” It’s because everyone else grew but him, making him look shorter than he previously had. But due to his stature, he finds it easy to wiggle through tight spaces and move quickly, so now he sees his height as a perk since it helps him.

Lloyd: 5 ft 4 in / 163 cm

As I mentioned with Kai, the impact of being a ninja at such a young age paused Lloyd’s growth, although it affected Lloyd more since he was a child, the others were at least teens (even if they were young teens). Then the tomorrow’s tea incident happened. In combination with the tea and the trauma Lloyd underwent, his body seemed to freeze (Extreme trauma/stress can delay puberty in teens). Lloyd was under so much stress that his body wouldn’t start puberty and therefore didn’t grow. In the year between S7 and S8 he was finally able to relax enough that his body resumed normal functions (hence his voice deepening and as Kai says “Sounds like our little ninja is growing up!”). Though his growth would have paused again due to the surge in training/stress during the Oni Triology. Finally he would’ve been able to grow a touch more in the year post-Seabound as he gave up all training. People who are in sports at young ages (again using gymnastics as my example) tend to see a sudden growth spurt once they quit. However, at this point Lloyd is getting too old to grow much and his height is permanently stunted. Similarly to Jay, this makes him faster and harder to hit in battle. Most restraints are designed for people bigger than him, so he can free himself from traps easier. Also makes it easier to sneak around and hide. (He also likes to wear the hand-me-down clothes from the others and finds comfort in wearing stuff that was once theirs, so being short and not growing means he never has to outgrow their clothes.) (I might go into why he finds it comforting in another post, if anyone wants to hear) (or I’ll post it anyway because I love ranting about Ninjago)
