First full day in London seems to be turning into a Good Omens themed day. Made it to the bench in St. James Park, and while I don't condone graffiti, I love whoever wrote this on it...

i love the contrast that luxu's function as the MoM's "warp point" creates with sora's use of kh's wacky heart-based time travel magic. the MoM keeps luxu deep in his orbit, fills his head with his memory and ideals, sets him on an unavoidable path all in the MoM's name. luxu needs to have the MoM's indelible mark on his heart and mind, to carry him with him forever, to bring him forward into any new world he finds for himself. we see how many people sora connects with out of a genuine, spontaneous sense of love and openness, he wants to help people, to let them into his heart as much as he becomes a part of theirs. luxu and the MoM's relationship may be friendly, may be close, but fundamentally it is planned out, deliberate, transactional. luxu isn't loved- he's needed- he's a tool. i love the mobile games this is sick. something something riku something something terranort something something org13-

Answering My Own Height Questions

*I want to apologize for everyone being untextured, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to load the textures in Blender. Besides, this should make it easier to see anyway.

While I was poking around, I decided to go ahead and definitively answer my question from a while back about how tall DJSS is.

At a quick glance, the undisputable answer appears to be that he's shorter than Tatiana, but taller than Neon J... barely.

This doesn't consider the thickness of his helmet (unless you think the helmet is his head), but even so, this difference is so small, that it's easier to say that they're about the same height.

BUT

As we know from the Christmas DLC, DJSS's feet do not sink completely into the soles of his shoes.

So adjusting for where his feet would actually touch the ground, DJSS is actually shorter than Neon J. by a good couple of inches, but still taller than Mayday.

(Not that it really matters in fanart, since they're usually wearing their default outfits anyway, so even pointing this out is basically null~)

I also wanted to check Eve against the others, and with heels she's still shorter than NJ and DJSS.

This shot was taken before I adjusted for shoe height for DJSS/Eve, but with adjustments, DJSS is still just a little taller than Eve (it's about the same difference as Neon J. vs. DJSS with shoes).

So, I've a got a win for short!DJSS, but a loss for 2nd tallest!Eve, UmU. (Tatiana is the tallest member of NSR, not counting *Sayu, who I consider a special case.)

*Sayu is in scale to her B2J battle, meaning she's a giant compared to everyone else, so I didn't include her.

And of course I had to do B2J, Kliff, and Tatiana for my own amusement.

I didn't order them by height this time, but the grid guide should suffice. It's a little hard to say if Kliff or Zuke is actually taller since their hair is so dense, but considering that Kliff also wears shoes with a heel, I'm gonna err on Kliff being *just* a hair shorter than Zuke, but they're really about the same. However, Tatiana is actually about a whole head taller than Kliff putting him at perfect motorboating height.

I wanted to check the sewer gang too, but their models are not created equal, and I don't think they're in scale with each other.

Maybe it's just me, or because he's asserting dominance, but Zam seems bigger than he should be, and Gigi/Yiruk look a little smaller than they should be. Robot could be to scale, but I think he looks a little big too.

As my final bonus, I wanted to compare Yinu and 1010 to see how accurate my "Heart and Soul" sketch would have been and...

Nope. Handholding is basically impossible for them. At best, Yinu might be able to grab one of his fingers, but it'd be straining to do so unless he hunched over. So, it'd be even more impossible in my fic where she's younger and presumably even shorter, and the MKI is implied to be bigger and bulkier.

THE USOS REUNITE WWE SMACKDOWN (OCTOBER 25, 2024)

[yellow-faerie]

Me: I have like...three opinions about both Michael and Gerry, they're interesting but like...they've caught my attention all that much

Also me: what if one of them was the ARCHIVIST, a position his mother seems to have perfectly GROOMED HIM FOR even if accidentally, and what if the other LOVES HIM despite it all and refuses to leave even when the doors start appearing WHAT THEN

Sometimes you join a sport you don’t even like, and you’re number 6, and your best friend is number 9, and you’re so codependent with such a complex love between you that when tragedy strikes, you have simply no other choice but to play the permanent other side of her narrative coin by embracing the life you believe she would have had in another timeline. Do you ever do that? Do you ever sacrifice your intended dreams, flipping your 6 into her 9, and pretend it’ll ever be enough to clutch a jersey that wasn’t meant for your closet? Just flip that playing card right over. Just turn that 6 into a 9. Everyone else will see a 9 for the rest of your life, and isn’t that fine? Isn’t it fine to know you’re always going to be a 6 in your heart, but the world will never see it again? Isn’t that just such a normal instance of girly things?

Thinking about how even though it isn't until Lothlórien that Legolas and Gimli become full-on, do-not-separate-them bonded for life, before that, in Moria, Legolas is still the one who drags Gimli away from the Chamber of Mazarbul when the Fellowship has to flee.

unfortunately the world is too fucking messed up so I am currently unable to give a shit about how messed up everything is because it's all too big and if I get upset about any of it my entire ability to be a person will come crashing in
