A character reference based on all four Steps of Our Life! It's only "sort of" a height reference as well since obviously they're not 100% accurate (the devs don't have specific heights for everyone to my knowledge).

I did dig into the code to try and get characters at their "normal" heights but there are other matters at play too (example: Nicolas is obviously "taller" than he should be because he needs to be pushed upwards to be visible enough above the game's text box; likewise with other very short characters).

Still, this should serve as either a nice reference guide for every character or a "height reference" in the sense of getting an idea of which characters are shorter/taller than others.

I'm also going to detail some extra notes below the break, including posts from GB Patch's Tumblr that reference any defined heights (with Cove being the obvious one) or general height things, as well as some more stuff about the MC's height in comparison to the three love interests depending on what you pick.

Cove's height is listed on GB Patch's FAQ as 4' 1" in Step 1 (also stated as "mostly average, perhaps a bit on the short side"), 5' 4" in Step 2 (in-game this is defined as "very tall" on the MC's potential height spectrum, as that is the only option considered on par with Cove's height), 6' 0" in Step 3, and 6' 4" in Step 4. A fun fact is that Cove's final height was originally 6' 3" (191cm) instead.

Derek in Step 2 is under five feet tall (this post also lists Cove as "around 5 and a half feet tall" which you could take as either close enough to 5' 4" as stated above or a potential original height he had that got changed). In-game, he's "short" but not "very short", as having your MC be "very short" will prompt narration telling you that you're shorter than Derek, whereas "short" only has you relate to him in smolness generally.

Step 4 Derek is "mostly average." He wouldn't be considered tall nor would he be considered short. His youngest brother Nicolas will "probably end up as a similar height to him" once he's more grown up.

Step 4 Baxter is "taller than average, but not especially tall."

I've been informed that, on the Our Life Patreon Discord, Step 4 Derek's height is listed as 5' 9" (175cm) whereas Step 4 Baxter's is listed as 5' 11" (180cm), so those are their defined heights. Before that, both of their heights had jumped around somewhat. A post from 2019 said that Derek was 5' 11", but a post from June 2021 said that Baxter was 5' 11" and Derek was 5' 9" (so consistent with the Discord). Then there's also another post from July 2021 (you'll have to scroll down for this one) that listed Baxter at around 5' 10" while Derek was 5' 8"/5' 9". If you're insane enough to try and use the character reference too, then Baxter would actually be around 6'1" at minimum since he's taller than Step 3 Cove (though you could also make the same argument that this means the mom trio of Pamela, Noelani, and Kyra must be decently tall as well since they're so close to Cove on the character reference).

I don't have any experience with GB Patch's other game, XOXO Droplets, so I don't know what ages the characters are in it, but since both Shiloh and Jeremy are characters seen visibly in Our Life, I thought I'd also mention that they're listed as 5' 10" and 5' 5" (or 5' 5 1/2") respectively in XOXO Droplets. Jeremy also apparently grows to 5' 8" in his 20s and he's 22 in the Our Life Cove Wedding DLC (I don't think this is spoken of in the game specifically but he's labeled as 22 in the code).

As for the MC and how their height plays into things, "tall" and "very tall" as well as "short" and "very short" tend to be considered the same for the most part in the game's code. It's not that there isn't a difference at all (I would say it's still notable), it's just that sometimes the game may be more vague about height differences. My post about Errands references this where you don't need more athletic points due to being "very short" instead of "short" to give Cove a piggyback ride.

A guesstimate I'd make is that about 5% of the time, the game will take note of whether you're "very tall" instead of "tall" or "very short" instead of "short." Otherwise, you're either "generally tall," "average," or "generally short." There are also other instances (usually with Cove) where the game might just check if you're either generally tall (around Cove's height) or not generally tall (i.e: definitely shorter than him).

This is actually relevant to the heights because, following all above information, one would assume that Step 4 Derek is average, Step 4 Baxter is tall, and Step 4 Cove is very tall going off the MC's potential "height spectrum" of very short, short, average, tall, and very tall, but it's not entirely the case.

A "tall" MC (generally tall) will look "down" at Step 4 Baxter just as he will look "up" at them or they'll look directly at each other if the MC is "average," same as Step 3 Baxter, but--

when the game has any instance of differentiating between "tall" and "very tall" (they never do this for Step 3 Baxter so the base assumption would have to be that he's just average height), things change.

During Baxter's apology in the wedding of his Step 4, Baxter dips his chin to look at the MC if they're "short"/"very short," levels his chin to look at the MC if they're "average"/"tall," and then lifts his chin to look at the MC if they're "very tall." A generally tall MC still has to lean down to kiss him if they choose to do so though.

Also, during the intimacy scene with Baxter (either in his office or his living room), if the MC is "very short," "short," or "average," it states that Baxter is taller than them. If they're "very tall," then Baxter is shorter than them, but a "tall" MC is "almost the exact same height" as him.

This is all a really long-winded way of saying that GB Patch referring to Step 4 Baxter being "taller than average but not especially tall" might mean that he's some infuriating middle ground between average and tall where he's not quite one but not quite the other either (which honestly is very Baxter of him so I can't even be mad).

You KNOW I had to draw these two together

for @trubblegumm's DTIYS because I'm obsessed with their AU and I've been meaning to do fanart for bloodbath anyways (might do the rest of the boys if I have time latter)

Heavily inspired by this gif, I fell in love with the concept at first sight.

Sorry for the eyestrain, I'm gonna leave warnings on the tags for all the flashing lights :v

Not a question, but I love your blog so much. Makes me so happy :) I'm very excited to see the Yi City trio in your style.

We're getting close to the Yi-City arc! In the meantime, have some behind-the-scenes sketches of me trying to figure out their designs!

one of the first and only teasers for motley: the cartoon

#motley #i. am. much more enjoying making motley in a video format than as a comic #who knew the series id imagined and scripted as a cartoon works better as a cartoon than a comic. crazy #it is SIGNIFIGANTLY better than the comic. theyre not even comparable #the script flows better. theres new scenes the comic didnt have time to include. they talk and move and it has custom music and everything #genuinely considering just going all in on the cartoon format instead of the comic format. it just works way better #then id be able to have motley: the cartoon and then work on a separate series i ACTUALLY designed to be in a comic format on the side lmfa #i dont want to dissapoint people by not having the monthly big content drops in the form of chapters #but. this single 11 minute episode is turning out to be way more enjoyable than any of the published chapters so far #motley is fundamentally a very emotion driven story and a cartoon medium makes it much easier to capture EXACTLY the vibes it needs to have #aaaaa i cant wait to POST IT!!!!!!!!!

even when i'm staying in a hotel room with a sexual partner i still want there to be two beds. one for sleeping, one for sex. duh!! like, can i sleep in the same bed i've had sex in? of course. but when i stay at a hotel i want an enhanced experience. free ice. cable channels i don't get at home. a shower with actual water pressure! you know, real fancy shit. if i have the opportunity to go to sleep in a bed without having to worry about where the wet spot is, i'm all over it. but do i ever see that addressed in "there was only one bed" fics? no. it's always about two people who aren't even having sex with each other yet. they don't even think there's going to be a wet spot. i want a character who gets the wrong idea because their friend asks for a room with two beds. TWO beds?? what's the second one for? SEX maybe????? 👀👀

#advantages of having a separate hotel room bed designated 'the sex bed': #don't have to worry about sleeping in the wet spot #the sheets on the sleep bed are still tucked in really tight which is the best feeling #you can still tell housekeeping to save water by not changing the sheets every day #it's the best. sex beds for everyone #tropes #my posts #f #mmkay so months after the reverse trope fest i figured out a way to make 'there were two beds' into a fic trope #good for me?

If part of the goth mindset and ideology is about sexual liberation, I think we very much need to take the step of adding the right to cover up and say no to sexualization to that conversation.

Goth fashion, particularly feminine goth fashion, has always included revealing and/or kinky styles, and back during the inception of goth, that was a very powerful statement. It still is, just maybe in a different framework. The thing is, with sociopolitical trends having moved to a place where revealing and/or kink-originated clothing no longer has the same impact that it once had, that particular look has become a sort of commercialized goth standard.

While it's good that this shift has occurred in some ways, it's also had the effect of pushing the other part of sexual liberation out of the conversation. Part of sexual liberation is the right to say no, to decide for yourself that you don't want any of that and/or that you want to be more covered. There needs to be space for that in goth culture, especially in fashion.

Anyway, shoutout all the goths who for whatever reason don't wanna dress in that revealing style and struggle to find clothes they like because of it.

#goth #goth culture #goth fashion #Svar rants #hello I'm tired and ace and have body dysmorphia #I crave long sleeves and not being tits-out #if I had the power I would literally make the designs and open a shop #because I'm that fucking tired #I'm also tired of seeing nothing but polyester but that's a separate conversation

its kinda funny when people say that scourge's deadname is sonic and him turning green was him transitioning because like . if scourge is trans that would mean sonic is trans too right. and also its literally canon in archie sonic that sonics birth name isnt sonic . so presumably that would also apply to scourge too . unless you guys are saying deadname to mean any name someone used in the past but doesnt go by anymore and not just their birth name

#like dont get me wrong i can totally see why people make The Green into a trans thing #like him trying to form his own identity separate from sonic and changing his name #and also him gaining chest scars as a permanent part of his design as part of that whole thing . #i like to joke about scourge being cishet sonic but yeah thats pretty trans #but . well everything i already said in the main post #if we're going wiht the trans scourge reading i feel like he had already come out/started transition before turning green

Angels’ trueforms in their most memorable moments [25/?] - Cas and Lucifer in the "What a peculiar thing you are." scene in 5x10 Abandon all hope.
