#max is just taller

[stubz]

late shift

Shuttle for Mars is departing now. Please keep hands, feet, tails, and other appendages clear of the yellow line.

‘Nice, finally get off work on time for once! Man is it empty, way less busy than the 5:45 one…

Are they sleeping? Please tell me they’re sleeping…’

“Snnrk…”

‘Oh good they are, oooh lots of empty seats next to them! Nice.’

The young human sits across the large figure and looks around.

‘Wonder why everyone else is sitting so far away from this guy? He’s not that much scarier than a Alteauh…OH! He’s an Orc! An actual Orc, oh this is so cool! Wait. Calm down, control yourself. Orc’s are people too, not some exotic animal in a zoo….he’s sooo cool looking tho!’

The human smiles and takes out their headphones and listens to some music and take in the view they see through the shuttle’s windows. From time to time they peek at the orc, can’t helping themselves from people-watching him.

Like what most humans imagined, he was huge. Easily more than 7 feet tall, with large calloused hands bigger than their head. He had large tusks but unlike the stereotypes he was well trimmed with well relatively kept hair. It would have neater had there not been dust in it. The orc wore dirty cloths and work boots. Beside them what looked like a tool box and bag.

‘Must be a construction worker or works in a trade’ they mused

‘Poor guy, he’s gotta be exhausted to sleep here. At least he gets to go home now.’

The shuttle shakes and with it so does the sleeping giant. Rocking side to side.

'That's not good.' They nervously slide off their headphones.

The turbulence increases until the sleeping orc leans too far and starts fall face first off his seat.

“OH SHIT!” Diving to their knees they manage to catch his head and shoulders.

“Mm?”

“You okay?” Damn he's heavy!

“Mmm…sorry.” Rubbing the sleep from his eyes he slowly got back into his seat, the turbulence now gone.

“No worries, I just didn’t want you to hit your head.”

“Heh, wouldn't be the first time I’ve done it.”

after rubbing his eyes a bit more and a crack of the neck he looks at them, brain finally working to some degree.

“…wait. You caught me?”

“Uh-huh”

“But you’re so small! Are you hurt?”

“You're not the first sleeping giant I’ve caught. I’m alright.”

“I am so sorry for that. I just finished working a 12 hour shift fixing the 1st and 3rd engine rooms and couldn’t help myself from dozing off.”

They whistle. “12 hours? No wonder you’re tired! If I were you I’d be in a coma.”

“Ah but surely you have a difficult job yourself. How else would you be able to catch me?”

“No, nothing like yours! I just work at a youngling centre.”

“The one on the ship?”

“That’s the one.”

“...YOUR ONE OF THE BRAVE WARRIORS WHO RISKED THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN??!”

“…you’ve heard of us?”

“Every orc and warrior worth their blade knows of your valiant deeds!! Tell me, what is your name??”

“Kim, uh and you are?”

“Fenrir. It is truly an honor to meet someone of your bravery and intelligence."

"Likewise! I've heard that the orc species are a true warrior race."

For the rest of the trip the two talked. Kim sharing how her and Max built such a safe room in the centre, which lead to the two realizing how similar each other's planets are.

"You have wind whirlpools as well? I thought they only existed on Bantor!"

"Well we call them hurricanes and tornadoes but yeah. Do you guys have hail?"

"Not where I grew up but nearby farther up they get a week or two of light hail showers during the fall. What about animals? Do you have reptiles bigger than an adult with large teeth and live in rivers? We call them darthrang."

"Oh we call them crocodiles!"

"Amazing! To think that your species live in a world much like mine!"

When the shuttle finally reached it's destination the two went their separate ways. A few days later they meet again, this time on the later shuttle. They sit and talk and create a routine of sorts where they became each others travelling companion for the trip to Mars.

One day however, Fenrir stopped coming. The human was saddened as she enjoyed his company but was soon surprised when seeing him at the centre.

"Kim! I've been transferred to stay on the ship so I won't be taking the shuttle to Mars anymore."

"Oh...well, as you know I only go home at the end of the week so maybe we can hang out now. Like eat lunch together or have a drink after work...or something like that!"

"Actually we'll be seeing each other everyday now. But if you don't get sick of me then yes, lets each lunch together."

"Great! But why will I be seeing you everyday?"

"Because after telling my family about you and the centre they've enrolled my nieces and nephews and younger siblings here...and I offered to drop them off and pick them up."

It was then that Kim noticed the dozen of orc children hiding behind Fenrir. The tallest and what looked the eldest of them stepped forward.

"Hello, I am Athea, uncle Fenrir said your one of the ones who saved the centre."

"Yes, my name is Kim. It's great to meet you AtheaaAA!" The orc girl pulled the human into a tight hug, lifting the adult woman off of her feet.

"Thank you for saving Nova." she mumbled into her chest.

'Ah, the Captain's daughter' Kim thought. "I was just doing what any teacher would do."

After a moment the human was put down and lead the children into the centre. The day went well. Fenrir's young family members were quickly won over by the humans, first with the saving of the centre, then with how they understood how wonderful their planet was rather than terrifying or deadly.

They were also greatly intrigued by how such a small species could survive in a planet that was thought to only be habitable to orcs.

"How can you carry us?" asked Thor, one of Fenrir's youngest brothers. "We're much bigger than a human child."

"Yeah but your not bigger than my cousins who are teenagers. Also just last month I had like 10 kids climbing on me. Two were tighalaxes."

"Your joking!"

...

"It that tumpon?!"

"Hm? We call it maafe, but it's also known as peanut stew, do you want some? It doesn't have any meat in it though."

"Guys Max has tumpon!! Can you tell Fenrir where we can buy the ingredients?"

"Of course. Finally I'll finish what gran gave me without having to gain 10 pounds."

And thus the first day ended on a high note! Now if only Kim could figure out why the children looked at her and nodded while talking to Fenrir...

So this based off of a post by @llamagoddessofficial about humans meeting actual space orcs. Sadly I can't find the actual post. but yeah, here u go, space orc and human meet cute

#the adventures of kim and max running a space child care centre #space orcs #humans are space orcs #humans in space #the beginning is something that actually happened to me #caught a sleeping construction worker who I sat across from on the bus when heading home from work #thankfully he was just a little taller than me and not a giant like fenrir #also my brother went through a phase of randomly doing trust falls in front of me so I am experienced in randomly having to catch people

remember that one drawing with terrorbeak wilson transforming backwards, so what if you did that with shadow creature maxwell :3

Of course i remember! this is what you mean right? :))

#okay but tbh i wouldn't really be able to do what i did with terrorbeak wilson for shadow watcher maxwell because well.. #sh watcher max is just himself but taller with the ds coat and as a shadow unlike wilson where it s a whole ass other creature #unless i make maxwell like loosing his skin and underneath it is a shadow or something which COULD look really cool but y'know #this is funnier #dst #Terrorbeak Wilson AU #maxwell #dst maxwell #do i need to make a shadow watched maxwell tag or something?? idk

[arcteris]

the only change i've ever made to eris' appearance is when i felt like giving her darker makeup at some point post-shb. which makes me think of this

#ffxiv #eris naydra #ardbert #the blank background coincidentally makes this even more fitting hsdfjn #she also used to be closer to min height when i first started and is now max height but i. just pretend that never happened #(very important: you can't tell here but eris is much taller than ardbert)

You know, S-Crocodile has the potential to be an interesting addendum for Crocodad bc Crocodile just learned that his son is alive, and then two years after that, boom: clone Lunarian baby (who's also technically kinda sorta Luffy's half-brother?). The thing is, even if Crocodile bridges the gap between him and Luffy, Luffy's not the baby boy that Crocodile lost so long ago. He can take care of himself, has an entire crew to lead, and they may not see each other except for rare occasions. Crocodile didn't get to raise Luffy and will never get that time back. But S-Crocodile is a still a child who will likely have zero clue what to do without the programming and, since baby crocodiles are famous for loudly calling out for their mothers, may be desperate for a parental figure.

S-Crocodile is not a replacement for Luffy by any means, but more like a second kid had later in life who Crocodile was never expecting but who gives him the chance to parent in a way that he couldn't before.

See this is a much sweeter idea than me being like "what if Crocodile dies without getting to really experience being loved by his family/a community and have people care about him and so instead Luffy/other people end up projecting those feelings onto S-Croc and make sure he gets the love and community Crocodile never got to have"

Everytime I think about the lost time Crocodad implies I just die a little inside. Like Dragon might not have gotten to be with his son either, but at least he got to spy on Luffy on occassion, at least he got to check on him from afar and see him, know how he was doing, at least he knew Luffy's name. Crocodile didn't get any of that, and never will. Like you said, that time has been lost, and this hourglass can't be turned back and reset.

What is interesting though is that the Seraphim are supposed to have the personality traits of the OGs. Crocodile is quite independent, so I feel like S-Croc should be (or at least want to be, so he can appear strong etc) independent too, right? So S-Croc might want to be kind of a lone wolf, even if deep down he was sad due to his loneliness?

What's more though is that indeed, we don't know if S-Croc is pre-T or male (since he was made from post-T Croc DNA, and we don't know if Iva-chan's HRT affects DNA/those changes applied to the Seraphim). 'Cause if S-Croc is pre-T, Crocodile should know and understand how dysphoria is gonna hit S-Croc as he gets older (which is gonna be soon, since the Seraphim age faster). And like. I could see Crocodile just feeling bad for his Mini-Me because of that. I could imagine Crocodile just dragging S-Croc to Iva-chan (if there's an opportunity for it) and get that clone some T, spare him from going through the wrong puberty etc.

Point is, I feel like if Crocodile did somehow end up taking care of his Mini-Me, it might not be because S-Croc expressed a need for it. But it might be because Crocodile would be forced to reflect on his own feelings, knowing and understanding full-well how S-Croc would feel (be it about gender or loneliness), and just. Let the Dad Instincts take over, regardless of if the Seraphim likes it or not?

#Moon posting #Asks #OP Meta #It is slightly funny to call the Seraphim Mini-Mes considdering they are the size of grown ass adults already (if not taller) #Luffy didn't get the Huge Motherfucker genes from his parents but boy howdy did King's Huge Motherfucker genes hit S-Croc hard #Do wonder and worry if the Seraphim are gonna have like. Short lifespans though #Considdering they're like what. Max four years old at this point. AT MOST. #And they're look like 9 year olds??? #But it could be worse they could be just 1-2 years old considdering they probs went into production after the Pacifista had been perfected #Like if the Seraphims' natural lifespan is like a 100 years and if they're 2 years old... But appear like 9-ish... Oh boy #They're gonna die of old age in like what 20 years. Oof

it's been a criminally-long time since I've drawn Glaw (also ft. Helter Skelter)

#my art #rook doodles #glaw #helter skelter #watch this! *makes their hair long to signify the passage of time* #finally trying to delve into glaw and helter's rivalry #glaw is close to max height and I thought it'd be hilarious if helter was taller :) #just to give glaw a little bit of an inferiority complex

[the-ninja-legacy-whip]

REN!! I am backflipping into your inbox!

You may have answered this before so please forgive me if you have, but do you have heights for the core six ninja? Presently and for the future?

Ik you've done it for the OCs but I can't see if you've done the core six ;×;

HI FINN!!! Good too see ya ^-^)/

I have answered this a couple times BUT I am a wishy-washy person and enjoy changing my mind at a moment's notice and as the plot demands. So, I don't mind reclarifying!

For now, I got the Main Group's Maximum Heights, and People Who Notably WILL Have a Height Change Eventually. People who aren't noted to have a height change are probably already at maximum height (Kai is a potential exception, and this does not apply to Pixal who fluctuates)

Like I said, not fully committed to any of this yet (except Jay cuz I need this for a very specific moment in Skybound), but that is currently what I have decided for now ahaha

#who knew HEIGHTS of all things would get me tripped up jfdsfdsa #until people started asking i was just like 'yeah he's taller than her but she's taller than them' etc #and then y'all made me get specific hfdgsfa #info tag #also might bump jesse's max to 5'8. but he wears heels a lot so maybe i dont have to snksnksnk #ugh see i still can't decide even in tags help

Nothing in my life is thriving quite like the two plants that are actively reaching for the ceiling

#they just keep getting taller and taller #like this is great but there is a max height 😭 #mine #plants

[stirdrawsandreblaws]

messing with benchmark cc now and debating whether or not to change the nose on my bunniisan when we get the free fantas

i like the more rabbity look of the second one, plus i've already drawn him with something more like that as well as the big curly hair squeenix won't let me have on m!viera yet YOSHI-P PLEASE

BUT i have also played with him a lot and i'm attached to his old face so idk if i really want to change it...putting it to a vote lmfao

as an aside, i really like how the lighting engine handles dark skin even in cc now; it's a massive improvement.

#i uh. i cannot share the art. bc it's nsft. but. i'll draw him more so you can see what he's supposed to look like >>;;;; #soon anyway. got a lot of stuff going on atm alas #ffxiv #stirring up trouble #i tried to make him extremely fem-coded tbh; he's max height male (f!viera are taller) and he's also the Mom Friend.... #mom friend type and protective+reliable older brother type with a side of malewife.........love him......... #i should import and mess with my actual WoL next. have less to change abt them though... mostly just height i think.

[highlifeboat]

I wonder if, given how Sarah's sisters treat them, if they would just expect that kind of treatment from people they love.

Like, I can't see them tolerating abuse from every boy they think is cute.

But if, hypothetically of course, Max and Daniela started treating them the same way their sisters do, after they're in an established relationship, would they just kind of accept that, or would they fight against it.

Because they know it hurts them. As previously said, they recognize this isn't a good way to be treated. But would they just cope by playing into being the punching bag, or is that just something they ONLY do with their sisters, y'know?

Cause I could see them going either way, though the idea of them just coping with it is maybe slightly more realistic.

#i dunno #like maybe they would fight if they thought they were stronger than dani and max #which... i don't know if they do #because both are taller than them #daniela is an almost unkillable being and max.. is a man. which just depends on if they still view men as inherently stronger than women #this is all a hypothetical max and dani would never do that but yknow #rambles #hocus pocus/resident evil 8

can we talk about how charles is one of the tallest (supposedly) on the grid and yet he manages to look tiny next to his different [redacted]s

#piarles are my loves #charlos my dorks #lestappen today i support you #charles is just a baby boy all around #didnt add the chalex pic because alex is evidently actually very much taller #but i love it #charles leclerc #pierre gasly #carlos sainz #max verstappen

[homefryboy]

ok I can’t decide and this is crucial to know

between yakko and max (specifically a goofy movie!max), who’s taller? deliberate now

#just me being dumb #in my experience most ppl make max taller #or make them like the same height like I do #I promise I will actually do thingz in a hot minute just #animaniacs #yakko warner #max goof #yax

[esc-is-holding-me-hostage]

Käärijä's rehearsal photos/video are giving me anxiety. Like, is there any rope attached to him when he's up on the box?

Is he safe up there?

#esc #eurovision #i have a terrible fear of heights and just watching someone standing on a big prop like this maxes me uneasy #i remember that Cesar Sampson had a safety cable on him but his platform was also taller

[the-ultimate-seamstresss]

I'm honestly getting tired of people drawing DGR:2 Teruteru being shorter than Hiyoko I hate it

Teruteru is a inch taller than Hiyoko. Teruteru is 4'3 and Hiyoko is 4'2 please get it right he's TALLER than her.

#max talks #max rants #not a big deal but coming from someone who is also short who projects on characters a lot #i like Teruteru a lot but one of the reasons is because i relate with being short #im fucking 20 and 4'9 it fucking sucks #fuck hiyoko #all the homies hate hiyoko #shes fucking shorter than him please #justice for short people #danganronpa goodbye despair #teruteru hanamura #though it would be funny if it turns out she just carries around a milk crate to stand on to make her taller #still cant believe that she's taller than Ryoma. hes such a lil guy

[teabiscs]

max ends up being the tallest of the bladebreakers. rei misses his lil maxie who he could pick up and hold. and is a lil embarrassed being the shortest (minus the chief whos only an inch shorter)

#my og content #reimax #beyblade #one day ill shade something. #but also rei is strong enough to still pick up max #its just awkard bc hes so much taller #i dont headcanon rei as getting much taller after grev #my art
