Hi hi! I got a question about how tall everyone was and I realized I do actually have very specific opinions about this haha so I figured I'd list out the heights I'm imagining everyone as in the fic. I'm basing this partly off of the actors with known heights, but I also like the idea that Valyrians tend to be taller than other races and that Strongs tend to be, well, big and strong. :)
First, let's start with the Strong Boys:
Jacaerys will be 6'2" when fully grown (idk how to explain this one it's such a Jace height like he's tall enough to warrant admiration but not so tall he's intimidating)
Lucerys will be 6'3" when fully grown (sweet gentle giant Luke is my dream do you see the vision)
Joffrey will be 6'0" when fully grown (wanted to keep the feral little gremlin vibes his younger actor has which I adore)
Now let's go to the Velaryons:
Corlys is 6'3" (Steve Toussaint is huge)
Rhaenys is 5'10" (like Eve Best)
Baela will be 5'10" when fully grown (like her grandma to emphasize the parallels between them)
Rhaena will be 5'9" when fully grown (like Laena's actress, since Baela says she resembles her mother)
Next, the rest of the Blacks:
Daemon is 6'1/2" (like Matt Smith but a teensy bit taller)
Rhaenyra is 5'10" (I know Emma D'Arcy is a bit shorter but I love me some tall Targ women okay?)
Aegon will be 6'0" when fully grown (just like his daddy)
Viserys will be 5'10" when fully grown (more in between his parents' heights)
And finally, the Greens:
Otto is 6'2" (Rhys Ifans is a giant)
Alicent is 5'5"" (she's pocket sized, y'all)
Criston is 5'10" (average, but cute height difference with Alicent)
Helaena is 5'8" (her momma is short so she's not as tall as other Targ women, but she's still part Targ)
Aemond is 5'11.5" (listen it's so funny if he's less than an inch shorter than Daemon. Do you know how much Daemon will lord it over for him. Also being a full 3.5" shorter than Luke will break him)
Daeron will be 6'1" when fully grown (tall like his grandpa to emphasize the mad genius parallels, also I love the big-little-brother trope)
Aegon is 5'10" (like Tom Glynn-Carney, but also it's funny to make the eldest brother the shortest one)
Jaehaerys will be 5'10" when fully grown (like his daddy)
Jaehaera will be 5'8" when fully grown (like her momma)
Maelor will be 6'0" when fully grown (again, big little brother vibes)
Only height(s) we're missing might be Aemond and Rhaenyra's kid(s)...
