[aye-of-newt]

mizu is a woman who believes herself to have been conceived through violence and whose ethnicity makes her even more vulnerable than other girls, all while living in a time period of extreme sexism that severely limits her options and freedom, and so she is forced to conceal her identity for both personal safety and to be able to achieve her goals

mizu is a trans man who is wrestling with what it means to be a half-white man when he loathes and fears the white man who created him all while he attempts to find a foothold in the hyper-masculine world of samurai

mizu is a nonbinary biracial person who lives between the lines of society in all possible ways and is at constant war with the conflicting sides of themself and seeks some way to find a sense of being whole

mizu is all of them. mizu is a marginalized person and a fucking badass who a lot of people are going to relate to and see themselves reflected within and while it appears the show is going with the first option I don't think it's wrong for anyone to use the lens of the show to explore their own identity or to feel empowered

and also it's fun to explore how the story would change (or stay the same) when viewing mizu as a gender other than cis woman

#I think it's fun to give mizu every gender #I can hold multiple things in my head at once #blue eye samurai

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).

the thing with being a book fan who watches the show, and also reads fics, is that i never know who the author is talking about until they namedrop. the other day, i was reading a fic where one of the hermes campers had blond hair and blue eyes and my first thought was "oh so they're using book!luke's description, it's been a while since i read one of those"

GUYS IT WAS PERCY

IT WAS WALKER AS PERCY BEFORE BEING CLAIMED 💀💀

#like I KNOW walker has blond hair yadda yadda #BUT THE WHIPLASH OH MAN- #i laughed for twenty minutes #LIKE WDYM THAT'S PERCY??? #BLOND HAIR BLUE EYED PERCY?? #i love walker as percy but i forget he doesn't have dark hair 😭😭 #even though i watch every episode. multiple times #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #luke castellan #charlie bushnell #walker scobell

There's nothing quite like the subtype of "enemies"-to-lovers that consists of character 1 existing and character 2 screaming into a metaphorical pillow about definitely, totally, completely hating character 1 and, thus, having perfectly normal reasons to rant for two paragraphs how they're so infuriatingly perfect and good and kind and handsome and ugh they can't be real so let's go prove that they're not (oh shit oh fuck is this love)

#this was inspired by an incredibly niche book series but it applies in multiple contexts so heck it #the myriad #farragustus #tour of the merrimack #the sagittarius command #the other contexts: #red white and royal blue #rwarb #rwrb #firstprince #mo dao zu shi #mdzs #the untamed #wangxian #pride and prejudice #also they're not the main couple so i'm not giving them the whole fandom tag but: #fengqing #also probably beefleaf #but that's not canon so i suppose i won't tag it directly

Blue Lock's characters as yearbook's quotes

I came across a quote from yearbook again and I thought about the characters from Blue Lock AGAIN.

The results of my wasting time on the Internet:

The most fitting quote for most Blue Lock characters

#If sae and rin were from the same year they would definitely have quotes together #I would like that anyway #ahhh some people matched to a few quotes that I had to let them graduate multiple times #itoshi rin #itoshi sae #nagi seishiro #reo mikage #bachira meguru #igarashi gurimu #otoya eita #chigiri hyoma #isagi yoichi #raichi jingo #barou shouei #blue lock #bllk #blue lock memes #bllk memes

I love Rolan so much. The progression from pompous asshole to panicked big brother to grateful sweetheart, from disillusioned apprentice to brave and independent wizard… all of it is *chef’s kiss*. If Rolan were romanceable, I would make a new Tav for him so fast.

#probably another blue tiefling lbr #rolan #baldur’s gate 3 #just make a dlc for romancing the tiefling npcs please #gimme rolan and dammon and alfira and zevlor romances #i would give multiple dollars
