peridot and lapis height inconsistencies and differences and why they piss me off: a film theory
lately i’ve been seeing a LOT of fanart that depicts peridot as being around the size of a human toddler. not in a sarcastic way that makes fun of her height, like, people genuinely believe that she’s 2 feet tall. and i am here to tell you why these height inconsistencies (both in the show and in fanart) make me mildly annoyed
before you guys come at me and say “hmm but you can’t blame this on the artists completely, the show itself has problems with height and proportion consistency!!” i am aware. im not completely blaming it on artists, but the references that they choose to use when there are clearly better and more accurate ones.
for example, a comparison between what i believe to be a good and reliable comparison vs what i think isnt the most reliable and accurate.
this is a GOOD example in my eyes.
it doesn’t make peridot, steven, or lapis look awkwardly proportioned or smushed. steven is an accurate height and doesn’t look awkward, the difference between peridot and steven’s height is justifiable as peridot is often shown to be slightly taller than steven, and the proportions are about as good as they’re going to get (no noodle arms or hilariously large hair). the only thing that i would comment on is lapis’s height, as she is sometimes shown to be a bit taller than how she is shown here, but that’s a minor margin of error.
this is a “just okay” example to me.
first of all, the proportions look very wonky. peridots arms are a bit short, her hair is way bigger than normal (a common problem in the show), and she generally looks awkward. she looks smushed, as does steven. steven’s limbs are very stubby, more so than usual. and lapis looks freakishly tall and skinny, she looks more like pearl.
since in su future we see that steven is 5’6”, i would consider peridot to be between 4’9” and 5’0”. although lapis is shown to be near steven’s height, she is still slightly taller and, as we know, the show has repeatedly had problems with proportions. therefore, i would think she is somewhere between 5’7” and 6’0”.
here is a comparison chart that i made using example heights of 4’10” for peridot and 5’10” for lapis, both around the middle of their respective height ranges.
as the chart shows, peridot (not including her ginormous hair) gets to about lapis’s shoulder.
even with the other chart i made, which uses what i consider to be peridots minimum justifiable height and lapis’s maximum, the height difference isn’t as dramatic as i have seen some artists make it. seriously, i’ve seen art where lapis is 6 feet tall and peridot is 3 feet tall (not to hate on the art! i just personally believe that their height difference isn’t that dramatic).
in conclusion: disregarding the extremely inconsistent proportions that are shown in the show, peridot and lapis’s height difference isn’t NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT. yes, peridot is short. yes, lapis is fairly tall. that doesn’t mean peridot is the size of a 3 YEAR OLD.
thank you for reading! btw, none of this is supposed to be rude! if you took it as that, i am extremely sorry. please leave a comment if i put something too harshly or said something offensive, thank you!
