Yapping about BurningCheese physique headcanons (under the cut just because it gets a little nsfw. Also I don't feel like this needs to be so easily seen anyway haha)
So I admittedly have specific visions wrt Spice and Cheese's physical appearances. I don't know if I conveyed any of them super well in the one human doodle I made of the family (pinned post, for whomever doesn't know!), soooo I shall share my thoughts in written form
Spice and Cheese are, physically, mid 30s and early 30s. 35 and 32 respectively. And they both wear their ages well, especially Cheese (and for her, it's like. She actually LOOKS her age. A lot of the time I see people drawing her looking either too young or too old (in my opinion), especially the former. Woman is in her 30s and her 30s are as much her prime state as any other)
Spice is 6'5" and Cheese is 5'6" (hehehe number reverse). Big husband and tiny wife
Spice is covered in scars (which I wanted to show in my art, but I couldn't get it to look right unfortunately). Old stabs and cuts and other attempts on his life and well-being, forever marked on his person. Some are relatively fresh, as he's still a lover of battle even post-reform; most are from his time as a Beast; some are even from his days as Herald, in those moments where he took up arms to defend civilizations and bring a swift and brutal end to wars. He used to wear them with a pride born from his sadomasochism and passive suicidality; now, he doesn't hide them, but he doesn't relish them anymore either. (Really, most of them bring him shame now. But there's nothing he can do except embrace them)
They both have something between 2A and 2B type hair (the kids do as well)
Cheese is slender, but still obviously athletic. Lean but toned muscle
Spice has a little bit of facial hair. Just on his chin
This is still up for debate/consideration since I need to look more into birds and get a better grasp on bird proportions, but. Cheese has about a 9 foot wingspan
Spice's hands and feet are very rough and calloused, while Cheese manages to keep hers smooth and mostly flawless thanks to an extensive skincare routine (girl works hard to look as radiant as she does all the time yk)
Cheese has hips to die for and legs that go on for a whole week
Spice has very sharp nails, bordering on claws. He kept them trimmed as Herald, let them grow in real claws as Beast, trimmed them back down somewhat post-redemption, and then trimmed them down more after the kids were born (he was afraid of accidentally scratching them)
Spice has slightly pointed ears (only slightly. This is a hot take, but I've never really been a fan of giving the Beasts pointy ears (or any other weird kind of ears tbh). It makes them look a little more fantastical/monstrous, which I understand is probably the point, but I personally like them looking "normal" because it adds a little more to the tragedy of the lives and roles they were forced into. The demigods created to shoulder all the world's burdens with no respite or opportunity to live normal lives are just... people. They just look like people (for the standards of this bizarre world). Makes it seem sadder idk)
Now these next ones are extra important to me so I'm separating them from the previous bullet points
Cheese has a small chest. She's a B cup at most. I cannot imagine her with anything more, and to be honest, she looks wrong with anything more (sorry to anyone who draws her bustier). She's a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee and she's gorgeous. She rocks the look and then some. She's happy and confident with her bust and you know what? Spice is, too. Her breasts are soft and perky and fit perfectly in his hands. He could not ask for anything more, she is beautiful exactly the way she is and he worships her. (I admit that, in small part, this is projection haha. I really, really wish more people drew women with smaller chests. Society drills into us that we are ugly, less of women, and that men will not want us if we don't have huge knockers. Being called flat is an insult to a lot of people. That shit fucking hurts. I know it's foolish, but it brings me some comfort to imagine one of my favorite characters, who famously prides herself on her appearance, having a trait that's always been such a major source of insecurity for me and being content, even proud, to have it. She would not change that part of herself for anything because she finds it and herself beautiful and perfect already. TL;DR representation matters haha)
Spice has a hooked nose. You Are Wrong if you draw human Spice without a hooked nose. He looks so perfect with a hooked nose. Sorry, I don't make the rules :)
Spice has nipple piercings that's also nonnegotiable I don't make those rules either
Spice's musculature has changed over time. As Herald, he had more of a "strongman" look; thicker, with some more fat, but obviously buff and healthy. You can tell he actually ate food and drank water lol. Post-corruption, he let himself goβ which is to say that while he was still built like a brick shithouse, his muscles became more visible defined, thus looking more like a bodybuilder (this is actually how it works irl. Bodybuilding only really builds up muscle aesthetically and can actually get really dangerous/harmful. They look strong but they're not really strong. Strongmen are ACTUALLY strong. I'm putting it very basically, I encourage everyone to study the difference). Post-redemption, both with Cheese's encouragement and his own will, he resumed a proper diet and regained his strongman look. I like to use this reference in particular, this guy has the exact physique I'm talking about:
He looks thick, you can see there's a layer of fat over his abdomen. But it's not unhealthy at all and you can still see his muscles. You can even still see abs, they're just... fuller? Softer looking. Softer, but stronger than ever. That's how Burning Spice looks in my mind
Also Spice has a HUGE dick. 8 inches fully erect (and he's more of a shower), pretty thick and uncut. It always hurts for a bit when he pushes in, even ages after they've had their first time together and she's technically "used to" him, but Cheese takes it like a champ. We love a size queen β€οΈ (she can only take about half of it into her mouth though, deepthroating is rough)
Also also Spice has a happy trail and a big bush. He trims it/shaves it down a bit when it gets long enough to bother Cheese when she's trying to suck him off, otherwise he leaves it as is. Cheese doesn't mind, she actually finds it hot af, he just needs to keep it groomed lol
