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...

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.

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?

im actually really good at admitting when i dont know things its just that people keep talking to me about things that i know a lot about and am objectively correct on

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.

Praying for either Davrin or a Warden!Rook to have information about the Awakening Wardens be it through dialogue or a codex entry

NSR Fandom, Help Me [RESOLVED]

Edit (6/29/24, later in the day):

Alright, with some help from @anger-ey (thanks again for the help ^o^), I think I finally have the answer to where this came from.

SO, it looks like this "fact" was originally on Kliff's page on the Metronomik wiki as unsourced trivia. Back then, it seems like the site was prone to people just writing whatever they wanted, so I guess I read it there first and internalized it as a fact.

(Even though when I first posted about it, I acknowledged that it wasn't said on record, so *that's* the part that I forgot.)

(Source)

Edit (6/29/24):

So yeah. It turns out I actually did just make this up from nothing, and just forgot that I made it up.

"Just something I was thinking about a few days ago. I don’t think it’s ever been said on record that Kliff’s design is inspired by Dio, but I’m pretty sure that’s true. There are a bunch of other Jojo references in the game, so I don’t think another one is that far-fetched. Not that I know anything about Jojo anyway." (source)

So yeah, sorry about that, but thank you to everyone that tried to help me out~

Original Post:

So, early on in this fandom's history, my "job" was essentially collecting trivia for the game. If you look at some of my oldest posts tagged "NSR," that's mostly what you'll find in between the bad fanart. Character trivia gleaned from dev livestreams, details about certain bugs or rare events, etc. As such, I have a good chunk of knowledge about incidental details about the game.

However, there's some trivia in my brain that says, "Kliff was lightly modeled after Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure." but I don't have a source for that, and it's not written in any of the trivia posts I've made before.

I have 0 interest in Jojo, so I don't think it's something I would have observed and concluded for myself. It's also somewhat supported by the fact that there are other Jojo references present in NSR, (like Retdex's sprite pose, and Zuke's pants pattern). I am 90% certain that someone, somewhere, officially said that, but I can't remember who or where.

Can anybody verify that for me, or did I really convince myself that this was true based on literally nothing?

I'm literally 8 pages into reading The Crow Road and so far a major theme seems to be the having of sex in an old classic car. Just saying.

Speaking of fan art. Do you have any full body art of KK's silly goofy professional au fit? Or is it just up in the air what the rest of him looks like?

WELL

i actually drew full body concepts of both Charter AU Routes A and B before all those doodles- i suppose i might as well post these and write/post the wider context later?

introducing DJ Apotheotic (B) and DJ F.Light (A)!

KK's charter version oversees a district that he's dubbed Maxismum (a combination of the terms "axis" and "maximum" referring to the highest point of a parabola). The district looks different and has different city functions depending on the route

but yeah! his silly goofy professional fit + the alternative fit

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
