#making everyone else look tiny

[centaurianthropology]

Been thinking about how to celebrate the spooky season (did cosmic horror re-reads/listens the last few years), but I think I’m going to shake it up this year. Hammer Horror watching. Are those movies good? No, almost universally no. They were made with two pounds, the BBC’s backstock in costuming and sets, three gallons of silly red stage blood, and the world’s most dogshit scripts.

But they also have these gentlemen flinging themselves and one another around the set virtually every movie.

So I think it’s a solid plan.

i might be thinking too much about this rather irrelevant background story for the ancient queen and ganondorf (.. yes still botw2/totk rewrite ................ its background stuff you dont get to see, it would just be a line in a hidden diary and some environtmental story telling- that bracelet being in his room- wrote a longer text post about it today but uh .. heres a doodle that took me too long to make bndksbnsd)

Headcanon Height Chart

Here's my head canon line up for the characters along with my reasoning. I'd love to hear how other people picture them!

Actual Data

"The average orc stands six and a half feet tall." (Lore Tablet 1)

"Female orcs are stronger than males." (Lore Tablet 1)

"Elves are taller than humans, standing an average of just over six feet fall." (Lore Tablet 1)

"[Humans are] smaller than orcs and shorter than elves." (Lore Tablet 1)

Assumptions

In the real word, the average person is about 5'4" (5'2' for assigned female at birth, 5'6" for assigned male at birth). I picked 5'6" as the average human height across sexes for conceptual symmetry (about 6 inches between the average height for each race).

In the real world, males tend to be taller than females. I am applying this to humans and elves, but not to orcs, as orc females tend to be stronger (which I'm somewhat spuriously correlating with height).

For the chart itself, it's a general art rule to have a person's crotch/wrists at about half of their height. That put the 'floor' for everyone's full body sprites at about 2 feet. I did not stretch or squish anyone. It looks kind of whack to me, but I have no solution for that.

Character Specific Lines

"You bump into a tall man [Mal] heading out of the village!" (Book 1, Chapter 1) Mal is taller than the average human man.

"An exceptionally bulky cocoon thrashes and bursts apart. Prince Baldur tumbles out." (Book 1, Chapter 9) Baldur is unusually large.

"[Nia] You were puny and insignificant before." and "Leave me alone, tiny man [Mal]." (Book 2, Chapter 12) Valax may just be trying to insult everyone, but I'm taking this as she's taller than both of them.

"The bed's too small." (Book 2, Chapter 17) This could be Imtura just wanting an excuse to go at it on the desk, but I'm choosing to believe she's taller than her mother. I cannot imagine Queen Ventra putting up with a suboptimal bed for herself.

Just Vibes

Nia just gives me short girl energy.

I could have sworn that somewhere Aerin is described as the smaller prince, but I couldn't find it. We know Baldur is stronger than Aerin, so I guess I just assumed he's also taller?

I picture Aerin as shorter than average, contributing to his whole *gestures vaguely at him* complex.

For Mal, I feel like it's easier to do rogue-ing if you're not super tall.

I just think it's neat if Valax is big.

Bonus Imtura next to Aerin to drive home how terrifying I imagine her 'lifting him off his feet by the scruff of his shirt' would be-

extreme late night posting bc i finally updated delmira's appearance (fornax's childhood best friend) and the difference between them and her being a min height femroe is so funny to me. the ideal height to be at when in front of fornax, tbh

before changing her from max to min height, her head went above their chest, but now... knjdsfnj..... miniscule. the power of an 8ft/244cm lesbian

I'm realizing I barely make any edits/shit posts for other people like I used to. there was a point where I was making shit for people unprompted at least several times a week and now I can't even remember the last thing I made specifically for anyone else. it kinda makes me sad but also I don't think anyone really cared at all about my stupid little edits in the first place and also it was just starting to suck for me. I can give and give and give and spontaneously want to make things for other people, for their fics or just silly discord messages, because they inspired me

and then none of my effort is reciprocated. my folder for stuff I've made for other people has like 60 pics (and I recently deleted a lot of the large files from the foldee to free up space on my phone, it had a lot more) and there's only 9 pics people have made for me. I don't want to sound ungrateful or entitled but I've really just lost the urge to make stuff for other people when I know it's always going to be a one-sided thing. I don't think anyone's ever made anything for me unprompted really, 95% sure everything in my stuff from friends folder was requested or for my birthday or one of my previous mental breakdowns, not any random out of the blue "I loved your fic/concept and wanted to make something" like I've done for other people on so many occasions

so it's like yeah I'm tired and having a selfish arc all I want to do is make stuff for my own fics and AU's because the only person who gets inspiration from them is me and I just gotta accept that and appreciate that at least I can make cool self indulgent stuff for myself. like sorry but I don't care how much I love your fic I'm not spending hours making a cool edit to show my appreciation when what will happen when I post the edit is a million people reblog it also praising your fic and it'll get more attention than any of my fic posts. if I'm not going to get similar energy from you I don't want to spend my time and effort. like at this point I can only see myself making an edit for a fic I like by an author who consistently comments on my fics too. I don't want anything straight up transactional (like a deal that I'll make something for X comments or whatever) but I just don't want to spend hours doing things for people that don't care and wouldn't spend any amount of their own time on anything for me, I need to feel like you care about me at least a little

so I'm just going to focus on edits for my fics because I'm the only one who will ever care enough to make things. it could definitely be worse, I can't draw for shit but at least I came to the RE fandom with many years of gimp and picsart experience from doing RP promo edits so I can make SOMETHING visual to go with my fics. I'd probably actually lose my mind if I didn't have that going for me

He reminds me a lot of my brother. Hee hee... I know I say that a lot, but I really mean it. Especially the way he talks, and how he sometimes gets that little scrunch between his eyebrows--! Or how he pauses and then sighs when he's perplexed? And how they both keep their hair so pretty and shiny!

...He smiles more than Michalis, though. He laughs, and looks excited, and... and that's really wonderful. I hope he laughs more. I hope he smiles more. I hope there are so many things for him to be excited about that he gets sick of it! Hee hee... but not really. Not really sick of it, I mean! But still lots and lots enough to get close... heeheehee!

I don't really get what he said last time, though. I've been thinking about it, but I don't know how I might have 'defeated' him... it's probably a good thing though, right? Usually when my brother looks defeated, it's because he was thinking something silly. So I'm going to assume it's a good thing!

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:

Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’

The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.

What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?

“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”

They do things Beard’s way now.

OSWALD NEEDS A FURBY STAT!!! HE NEEDS ONE RIGHT NEEOOWWW!!!!! he HE NEEDS HIS LITTLE BUUDDDYY

it has to be an old furby one from the first gen that they got off of someone (BONOUS POINTS IF OZ FIXED IT HIMSELF) or it was his dad’s old furby cuz while i think it would be fun if he had a 2005 furby as seen below

it would’ve cost to much money for them at the time period. Not sure if they sold cheaper after three years since they weren’t as popular as the og’s but ehhh also i think they’re cute I SAID IT I WILL DIE ON THISHILL !!!

Oz comes off to me as either having a skunk furb

a snowball

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?

Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part

[mxdotpng]

i really do appreciate that klaus like can and has gotten angry before but chooses not to show it almost every time. like forcing himself to be calm in every situation. the only times i can think of him actually expressing his anger is the gag scene about his plants, and the finale of s1 when leo goes missing for that short period of time & his gps went off. and honestly he didnt even really let himself be angry then -- one punch and the doctor had been destroyed. i guess its really the only option he has when everyone views him as scary or threatening, but its also such an obviously conscious decision on his part because he doesnt want to be scary. and he's so sweet that it balances out.

[lesbianraskolnikov]

i do not think this crime and punishment obsession is going away for. a long time. once the character fixation comes in its so over. I have no choice but to draw references of the characters. Sure i can gather screenshots of whatever adaption does them best but sometimes i have a vision. Thats why my rodyas like he is. He shouldve been played by conrad veidt. thank you.
