Hi I’m Elle! I’ve been playing otome games for over 3 years now and I am really overly obsessed with them. My favorite games are Ikemen Prince, Radiant Tale, Virche Evermore, and even if TEMPEST.
On my blog I post random things about whatever I’m playing, the occasional screenshot, and if my ADHD ever lets me I'm thinking about starting to write stuff. You can ask me anything about anything, my askbox is always open!
If you ever want to become moots or friends let me know! I’m always looking for people to geek out with :)

Line up folks, we've got some new otome cast height charts!
First up we have the crew for Variable Barricade.
Pardon me while I snicker because the men's height range is close enough that they ended up with the same silhouette from the website.
Nothing too exciting here. Smallest difference is 13 cm between Hibari and Nayuta.
Next up we have Collar x Malice and this is where things get interesting~!
Oh my gosh. Would you look at that! A height different that isn't totally ridiculous!
Takeru Sasazuka, thank you for not being so tall that Ichika would have to break her neck trying to look you in the eye! You get one point for that!/lh (He now joins the ranks of Yeonho, Jieun, and Rod for that. Just a bunch of little guys.)
But Kageyuki... At 186 cm, you don't beat the current record for tallest LI. That's still Serin at 190 cm. But props to coming close.
Next we take a look at the crew of Piofiore.
Oof. Gilbert and Liliana were so close to tying with Ichika and Kageyuki's height difference. But 1 cm. Lost by just one...
Biggest (or rather smallest/lh) thing to note here is that Liliana is now the record holder for shortest MC! By 3 whole cm!
And for the grand finale! Code Realize!
Cardia! Tied with Lili for shortest MC!
And although Impey isn't the tallest LI, he and Cardia manage to take the title of Couple With the Biggest Height Difference! 27 whole cm (nearly 1 foot for us stateside folks)!
VICTOR BEING SO TALL KNOCKED THE WIND OUTTA ME HONESTLY! I thought Abraham would be one of the taller LIs here but NO!
.....
Anyways, those are my recent findings. Not sure what else to do with them.
So the heights for the Cafe Enchante men come from the profiles that they give in Q&A sections that are unlocked after getting their Best Endings.
Also, because the information comes from audio Q&A's, there isn't a height provided for Kotone. Which is sad...
(Something weird that I noticed was that even though Canus says that he's 190 cm in the Japanese audio, the English translation of his line says it as Canus being 6'2". Which, yes, 190 cm is approximately 6'2". It's just weird because all the other men have their heights stated in cm in the text translation.)
Next up we have the heights for the Radiant Tale characters.
These heights were found in the fanbook (which covers both the original game and the fandisc Fanfare).
I had a good guess about the relative heights of everyone based on how their sprites would line up on screen. Ion was bound to be the tallest member of the cast. And my guess was that Jinnia was the second tallest. Zafora being the shortest surprised me though. Then again, the feistier love interests tend to be on the shorter side (see Takeru and Rod).
.....
Once again, I don't have much else to say about my findings. It's just fun finding out these kinds of things.
not to be that person but I did write a "no actually fuck you 2nd Anni, artem is asexual" fic bc it made me so mad. https://archiveofourown.org/works/55482385

hey guys. hey followers. read this. now. like right now.
i want to put this out here for the class bc. holy SHIT. my god. this was genuinely so fucking good. what. WHAT. AND HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 150 VIEWS AND 20+ KUDOS?? EXCUSE ME?
the way you seamlessly tied in the insecurity plot from second anniversary and made it make sense. instead of it just being a really odd rehash of older cards, this makes it feel so fresh and new and interesting and jesus christ IT'S ENTIRELY CANON COMPLIANT?!?!??! WITH THE WHOLE CARD???? YOU'RE INSANE FOR THIS HOLY SHIT???
the way this hit like a truck. this is honest to god something i have felt. so often. as part of being aroace (or in this case ASEXUAL, bc YEAH!!)
anyways. please read this. anyone who is reading this post. bc oooooh my god im feeling things for the first time in AGES. look at this. i'm in shambles. LOOK.
it's a mix of this being so wonderfully written. and just. hitting so damn close to home for me (esp since this sort of feeling is something i also get distressed about every once in a while, being aspec can feel so... alienating). i'm actually tearing up a little! wow! okay! whew. i'm glad i saved this for when i was off work and cozy so i could enjoy it! thank you for this !!! sincerely from my heart!
Matias: Prince Chevalier, I'd like to thank you for permitting me use of your horse during my stay in Rhodolite.
Matias: I am well-aware that there is little in terms of law, international or otherwise, that I could teach you to show my gratitude, as I would with anyone else.
Matias: However, there is one crucial law that you seem to be disregarding with baffling insouciance.
Matias: Your horse, your closest aide in both battle and everyday transport, does not have a proper name.
Matias: This would not stand in Achroite.
Matias: But, regrettably, Rhodolite's own laws must necessarily supersede my judgement. I shall not overstep my bounds.
Matias: I'm placing my list of recommended names here. I know you are a busy man, but I hope you will make time to give your horse the dignity it deserves.
Matias: By the way, I think Rosie would make for a lovely name.
Chevalier: (finally looks up from his documents) My fool brother must have bamboozled you, as I do not recall giving anyone permission to use Horse.
Matias: I see. This would not be the first time I've been bamboozled, but fooling me is not a crime.
Matias: Perhaps because in lieu of retaliation I prefer instead to seek comfort in her arms. Small, gentle and a little cold from the window she keeps open at her bedside while she studies legislation with an expression so thoughtful and earnest that my heart nearly cleaves in two.
Chevalier: Indeed.
Inspired by the events from the recent vs event and the twitter q&a where Chev said his horse's name is literally just Horse or something. He probably meant it in the sense that it doesn't have a name, I imagine.

I split it into three pictures and placed them under the cut because the chat is really long!
Discovered you through IkeVil! I love your humor and got even happier when I read that your Tumblr is a safe space for asexuals. Thank you for making me smile today!
What's your favourite thing about each character?
Omg hi! This is so sweet thank you for making me smile!! I'm always happy to provide a safe space for aces!!
I'm studying abroad rn and super busy so I haven't had enough time to really start Ikevil ENG😭 (also why it's taken me a few days to answer, I'm so sorry!) my knowledge on the characters is a little rusty, but that being said:
Mostly what I've loved most ab the Ikevil characters is the character design! I think that with otome games, the way a character is designed goes with their personality a lot and that is especially true with Ikevil, which I think is super cool. The color schemes used for them are also very eye-catching. I LOVE the contrast in William's color scheme, for example. How bright the red is in his eyes and how white his hair is. For Liam as well, the tiny light green-blue accents on his outfit really pull his design together!
As for each character specifically:
William is a great posterboy because he still has the same almost "perfect man" qualities as the others, but with the villain twist of the "I can make her worse, but who she was always meant to be" type trope.
More basic for Liam, but him being a theatre kid is very funny to me, as someone who did theatre crew a lot in high school.
Based on what I know ab Harri, he might end up being a favorite of mine. I can see him being the type of head-over-heels otome LI that I adore. (Don't know for sure yet tho!) His color is also my favorite color lmao.
Roger is the doctor, which I have historically enjoyed the trope of. Ikerev Kyle, my beloved🥰
Elbert is my current favorite, and I think he'll stay that way! I love the pretty boys and I think his curse is very interesting.
I'm gonna be so real I don't think I'll like Alfons💀 I'll still read his route when it comes to ENG, but I can tell it'll be a situation where I like the route itself but not the character (happened to me with Luke and Rio from Ikepri)
Jude reminds me of Ikepri Silvio, my absolute beloved, so I am very excited for more of him. I love his character type a lot, and I love that the concern he has for Kate and her normal life is clear from the beginning.
Ellis is another contender for a favorite of mine! I'm a sucker for dark purple charcters, but I'm also so curious about him and his curse!!
And Victor is just hilarious, he kills me every time. He's also very intriguing and I love seeing theories about him, but I mostly just love how funny he is! His energy really completes the dynamic between all the characters lmao.
Sorry if this was super long I tend to have a hard time being concise with anything😭😭😭 but thank you so much for your ask! I really love seeing other aspecs in the community!
Silvio: (said as he is literally putting shimmering jewelry on Emma) Damn, I hate women because every woman who has tried to get close to me in the past has only wanted my money.
Emma: (taking off the jewelry and shoving it back into his hands) Well, that's fine! Because I hate you-
