#steve's mass

[crunchyfield]

Have you ever wondered what's the mass of our friendly Steve ?

Well what I could tell you is that he for sure weighs more than some random apples but how heavy is he actually because as we discussed Steve's height in a previous post, let's now figure out his mass.

(yeah I said mass not weight because weight is in this case the force of attraction exercised between Steve at Earth's surface level and Earth's core level which is different)

The topic has already been thought out in the article thereafter:

However I strongly disagree with it assuming blocks' voxels' (3D pixels in Minecraft) dimensions are equivalent to Steve's voxels' ones when stating that Steve weighs 342 kg (754 lbs).It's just not necessarily true, in fact a mob's voxels' dimensions are subjective.

First off, we know Steve is 1.875 m (6'2") tall and measures 32 of his voxels in height that we'll shorten as svx (Steve voxel(s)) as of now for the sake of simplification.

With this out of the way, we have to find Steve's total body volume, to proceed we can notice Steve's character model could be viewed as 2 rectangular parallelepipeds & 1 cube attached all together :p .

This means means that we'd have to sum every 3 volumes to find out Steve's total body volume.

To proceed we can display some 3D axes non orthonormed for each volume to get a clear sight of what we're trying to measure as such:

Now as you might think, it's indeed a bit tough to clearly count voxels so let's make the task easier by counting voxels on a modified Steve skin:

Here are the results:

Thus Steve's total body volume corresponds to :

Now keep in mind that a svx equates :

which is about :

Finally we can translate Steve's total volume in cubic meters :

Furthermore, since Steve is a very athletic character (he jumps all the time, run all the time, looks healthy & is most certainly not average at all) we'll assume his body fat percentage to be approximately 10%.

After asking a few stupid questions to ChatGPT AI we're gonna assume Steve's body density is similar to an average low body fat, athletic (and ripped ofc x] ) male body density whose value is 1120 g/m^3.

As a result, manoeuvering the density formula gives a way to calculate Steve's mass :

Basically this guy is huge in every direction lol, his BMI is tremendously over 30 BUT we cannot necessarily say that he is morbidly obese because he does not look like it and if we were to make any judgement, those must be based off of Minecraft's world properties not of our world's...

Sidenote: Don't try to sue me for not getting the significant figures right, I purposefully let more decimal places to show how results really go.

for no other reason than i worked at an ice cream shop for eight years, here's what ice cream the mass effect characters would eat

shepard: neapolitan, strawberry for their paragon side, chocolate for their renegade, vanilla to balance

garrus: moose tracks, but will pick it apart just for the peanut butter cups and give shepard the leftovers

tali: literally any booze flavored ice cream

liara: mint chocolate chip because she secretly kind've fucks with the taste of toothpaste but will never admit it out loud

kaidan: butter pecan. it's not everyone's favorite, but it's his, and he's totally cool with it

ashley: whatever the 2183 equivalent to the tonight dough. cookie dough chunks, brownie chunks, butterscotch, chocolate chips, malt chunks, everything

wrex: this man is old as balls!!!!!! rum raisin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

joker: lemon sherbet. you cannot tell me that man is not lactose intolerant

miranda: cherries garcia, little bit sweet, little bit tart

jack: the most sickening sweet shit you can think of. cotton candy with marshmallow superman with a side of sugar

jacob: some sort of dark chocolate peanut butter ice cream that sounds good in theory but in reality you can only take like 3 bites of before you get a tummy ache

zaeed: banana splits that he likes to mash together with a spoon and eat like some deconstructed milkshake

kasumi: the weird avant gard shit you see in hipster vegan shops, like some bacon sweet potato rosebud ice cream

mordin: coffee ice cream, because he likes the taste of coffee but if he were to actually drink it he would spontaneously combust

grunt: those froyo shops that were everywhere in 2014 where you could make a bowl with like 5% froyo and 95% other toppings and it cost 14 dollars

thane: doesn't like ice cream because it reminds him of how he abandoned his child and how his wife is dead and he could never go back to the life he left behind, the life of stability, because his body is engineered for a deadly purpose and he can never atone for his sins rocky road

samara: this woman is old as balls!!!!!!!!!!!!! pistachio!!!!!!!!!!!

legion: tried vanilla ice cream. too sticky, got stuck in his wiring.

james: one of those brownie sundaes that weighs approximately 5 pounds and is majority whipped cream

steve: chocolate chip. classy, just like him ;)

traynor: something smooth and rich and velvety and inexplicably sexy, like raspberry chocolate chunk

edi: takes the idea of ice cream a little too literally and just has a bowl of heavy cream with ice cubes. is confused why everyone is disgusted.

javik: ice cream is for primitives (peaches and cream)

The Tango Lesson

This fic has had a chokehold on me from the moment I read it. It's got everything; amazing Ash characterization, Shakarian, James Vega being James Vega, and tango! If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend :) (nsfw tho)

So I felt like I had to draw a scene from it. This was such a challenge, I hate backgrounds, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out - James and Ash especially.

Also the tango in ME3 is one of the reasons I take Argentine tango lessons lmfao

[gemsbokk]

your honour they are the most trio ever

[percki]

i think that a lot of people don’t understand or weren’t conscious of the steddie apocalypse that occurred immediately after st4 aired. it was insane

[strawberrysamara]

Every time I play m!Shep, I get to ME3 and I'm like this time. THIS TIME. I will romance Steve. I will finally give this man the love he deserves. And then I arrive on Mars and Kaidan Alenko looks at Shepard with his big sad betrayed brown cow eyes and I go FUCK. And then I romance Kaidan for the nth time

i just KNOW in my heart that Steve Cortez and Kaidan Alenko become really, really good friends. Like, Shepard and James are wrestling in the shuttle bay and Kaidan and Steve are just sitting there on an Alliance Procured Futon watching and drinking hot cocoa as they talk shop lmao

Me looking at the grumpy, “I hate everyone in the world except for you” character, the “asshole turned lovable himbo” character, the “hot dad who genuinely loves and cares for his kid” character, and the villain/character with VERY questionable morals:

hello shoker nation how did ur Shep handle Joker's rejection? bc Eva got hhhHAMMERED about it

[ayoooo3]

Another take it and run idea- once upon a time someone posted something with hint of this idea and I haven’t been able to forget it. So here’s a snippet- if you want to grab it make into something bigger I’d love to read it!

Before doing anything with Steve Eddie always takes off his rings, sets them on his side table. They make a little noise, each time the same, as they tumble into each other. And then Eddie slowly takes Steve apart, Steve slipping into sub space so nicely under Eddie’s hands.

One day in the kitchen Steve is working at the table and Eddie is about to start dinner, so he takes off his rings and sets them near Steve. He starts cooking, chattering away about his day. It takes a minute for him to realize Steve hasn’t responded. When he turns around, there’s Steve, sitting so pretty at the table, his hands resting gently on his thighs, his eyes glossed over as they track Eddie’s movements slowly. He’s so far gone that he barely moves when Eddie steps into his space.

“What happened baby, where’d you go?” Eddie tips Steve face up to meet his eyes, Steve swallows heavily and let’s his eyes drag to the rings sitting a foot away on the edge of the table.

And that’s how Eddie learns he accidentally Pavlov dogged Steve into sub-space at the sound of his rings being set down on a wooden surface.
