okay wait… how big are the angels then?? i always imagined them human size but are they ? not? are the archangels bigger than the other angels? are they beefier or just taller? what’s their bone density like (because they’re able to fly—or does their power of flight come from their divinity)? are they more fragile because of their bone density or are they stronger because they’re angels? i have never been so curious about angel proportions in my life

this is stated pretty directly in A&M but all the angels tall! Not excessively though

I imagine them to be about 6.5 feet (....?) so they're not huge but they tower a lot next to ancient humans in particular. Archangels are the same size as other angels, though Uriel is especially tall, I think, at maybe.... 7.4 feet? Michael is probably nearly 7 feet; Michael, though, is Very beefy so he's quite wide. (And in my last post, it's a combination of being wide and wearing bulky armor that gets him stuck)

I imagine it's mostly divinity that makes them fly, but I do think their bones and organs are sort of weird in general. In a way, less complicated; they're missing some organs that humans have. I don't think they have kidneys, for example, and I think they have a tiny liver. I think their stomachs are larger (and tougher; they can digest absolutely anything). I think their big/small intestines work differently and are also smaller. I imagine their bones are much, much, thinner but stronger because.... well, divinity.

thank you for the ask :>

#If I could draw I'd make a little anatomical diagram because I think it's fun to speculate #canonically i'll say its mostly just Magic that makes their bodies work but I really enjoy speculating about their organs because idk it's #they have a LOT more empty space inside themselves than humans do in my head #mostly becaue they don't have waste products like urine and etc #well maybe it's not empty and they have some flowers hanging out inside them #cutting open an angel so i can take out the weeds bothering him #mine #ask
