You are not mistaken - my url used to be minncoe! As of March 5, 2024, I've changed it.
I tag all reblogs with #drb (so you can block the tag if you like).
Open to see what other tags I use:
#takes - my life and philosophical quandaries

had a vision of a vocal group called Enigma and The Amigara Girls and all the backup singers were just a huge slab of rock with deep human shaped holes and mics set up in front of them
Height comparison chart based on the in-game models
Dragonborn Durge is 6'8" or 204cm.
Halsin and Minsc are 6'7" or 200cm.
Karlach is 6'4" or 192cm.
Devil form Wyll is 6'1" or 185cm (the horns net him ~2 in / ~5cm!)
Human form Wyll, Astarion, and Gale are 5'11" or 180 cm.
Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara, and Lae'zel are 5'7" or 170cm.
The models are a little bigger in Blender than they would be in the real world. Devil Wyll was 6'7" going by his model in blender, which is just...Not Correct.
This could be because my extracts scaled slightly wrong when i imported them into blender, or the in-game scale is slightly larger than the real world, or they're just modeled a little taller than they're meant to be to make them look biggg. (my vote is that i fucked the scale. rip y'all's estimation of my intelligence.)
Whatever the reason, I knew that they were all scaled wrong in the same way. This means that instead of giving up a futile pursuit, I could do math to figure out something more reasonable.
We happen to know that Astarion is "approximately 5'11"."
I used that as a baseline. So, with our scale established, we get something like this:
Other notes:
Shadowheart/Jahiera/Minthara, Minsc/Halsin, and Gale/Astarion/Wyll share the same heights because they use the same body model.
I'm decently certain that githyanki share an armature with elves/half-elves/drow/humans, so even though the gith body model looks different, Lae'zel is the same height as the other gals to line up with their armature's bones.
I didn't include hair or head accessories (like Shadowheart's) in the total height (that's cheating).
I did include Durge's and Karlach's horns in their overall height, but Karlach's really don't add much (maybe a cm or 2).
Average height worldwide (on Earth) for men is 5'9"/ 175 cm, and for women is 5'4" / 161 cm, so they're all quite tall, but mostly still within a standard deviation of the average.
Except for Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc, who are in the 99.9th percentile for height! They're not tall, they're huge.
Gary Mitchell has probably got to be the most popular one episode character in TOS ever because I swear that bitch shows up in like 70% of fanfics I've read as Kirks ex-boyfriend, hell somtimes he even pops up in AOS fanfic, everyone is so compelled by him being Jims toxic best friend before Bones and Spock
Wait, he isn't even in AOS canon?? I thought he was more fleshed out there because I see him in so many AOS fics (and haven't watched AOS yet), I thought he at least existed, but it's all because of one TOS episode? What's next, Tarsus isn't mentioned in AOS?
I've seen all the Kelvin Timeline films and Gary has NEVER been mentioned like ever as far as I can remember. And yeah Tarsus was never mention in AOS either! It's all from just two episodes of TOS
(raises hand) guilty. He's charming and compelling. Most Trek villains are cringe, and Mitchell kind of is too, but he really pulls it off for some reason.
was going through it so I turned on taz to make me feel better and “dear diary: how come everybody want to kill Dracula :(“ had me on the floor almost instantly. if no one got me I know griffin mcelroy got me
