day 349

ok so i rambled a little in the tags on my arafef post and a few of yall expressed interest in a headcanon chart SO. here it is.

like i said in the tags, i placed karkat (and limebloods if you want to extend it to that) at average human height: 5'6" not accounting for gender differences. everybody below that point on the spectrum is progressively a little smaller, and everyone above it is progressively taller.

I don't exactly subscribe to the "trolls are constantly growing like lobsters so if they live long enough they just get HUGE" headcanon, but I do think that having an extended lifespan allows highbloods to like... space their growth out over a longer period of time, so they can afford to do more of it without experiencing wild growing pains.

Also, I don't think fuschiabloods can grow literally forever. I think there's probably a point at which they max out, similar to humans with gigantism. At a certain height, we just start collapsing under our own weight, which leads to health concerns if you are significantly taller than average. I just imagine that upper limit to be higher for trolls, since i feel like they're implied to be a little sturdier than humans are.

And speaking of averages, that's all this chart is showing. There's obviously wiggle room within each caste, and some of them overlap with each other. Like, a tall rustblood and a short jadeblood could totally be the same height, or the rustblood could even outgrow the jadeblood. just kinda depends on the individual.
