how many cats are in each colony? loving the art and the posting, i was worried there wouldn’t be anything more from y’all!

Good enough time as any to post these, I guess!

The numbers here are still accurate. Though we are in the middle of updating all of these and they look WAY better ;3

Field Colony is the smallest in numbers by quite a bit. They've been struggling to get their numbers up for a while, which is why they can seem touchy and defensive.

River Colony is the largest, and they like to make that fact known. Rainfall has not been subtle to the other Captain's about how River Colony needs more land to continue expanding.

Weird anatomy question: since Loki’s a runt, and for the sake of this argument, dual-sexed, if he were to get pregnant with a regular sized frost giant would he safely be able to carry the baby to term? Jotuns and Aesir are capable of inter-species breeding, but what about runts and regular sized giants? Are those sexual dynamics even possible?

This is a really great question! (And one that I’m extremely happy to answer because size kink is my jam, man.)

I went back and rewatched the Jötunheim scenes from Thor (2011) to get a better idea of just how big these frost giants are, and also to see if I could grab some stills to analyze. After just a few minutes I discovered that the frost giants really aren’t so “giant” after all. (Props to the effects department, especially the sound mixers, who were able to make these guys feel a lot bigger than they actually were onscreen.)

I took this screencap into Photoshop to do some measuring and comparing:

I duplicated Loki’s image and superimposed it onto the jötunn’s, then I adjusted the scale of Loki’s face until it matched. 

Using this technique, I was able to determine that frost giants are about 15% larger than Aesir (and humans, and Vanir, and all the other races of man-like people).

That’s really not that much of a size difference at all. Even among adult humans, a 15% size difference is quite common. To give you a better idea, that’s roughly like a 5’5” person (165cm) standing beside a 6’3” (190cm) person.

Of course, it’s not just about height, but build, too. The frost giants are broad and packed with muscle, what you might call “an extremely athletic” body type. Still, there was a greater size and build difference between Shaquille O'Neal (7’1” or 216cm) and his former girlfriend Nicole “Hoopz” Alexander (5’2” or 157cm) than there is between humans and frost giants.

This ^ represents a size difference of about 37.6%, way more than the measly 15% difference between humans and frost giants. (This is roughly the same scale I use for Thor and Loki in The Little Frost Troll, by the way. Teeny tiny troll and great big man. I did tell you that size kink is my jam, man.)

So, yes, I believe it is possible for Loki to comfortably have sex with a full-sized frost giant, get pregnant, and carry a full-sized jötunn baby to term. He might encounter some difficulties during childbirth, perhaps requiring a Caesarean section if he can’t get the ligaments in his pelvis to relax enough to allow the baby’s head to pass through the pelvic inlet (or is it the outlet? I don’t know, I’m a writer, not a doctor). But I think he could deliver and care for a normal-sized baby frost giant.

For the record, the measurements for the largest baby ever born were 23 lbs 9 oz (10.7 kg) and nearly 30 inches long (76 cm). The average baby these days is about 7 lbs 3 oz (3.3 kg) and 19.5 inches (49.5 cm) long. So a frost giant baby, 15% larger than an average baby, would be about 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) and 22.4 inches (56.9 cm). That’s not even really remarkable by human standards. 

Furthermore, there’s this (source):

[...] there are many contributors to birth size. Thus, it’s not possible to accurately predict childhood or adult size from how big or small your baby was at birth. A tiny newborn won’t necessarily be a petite adult, and a large baby isn’t guaranteed to grow up to be a football player.

So Loki could very well give birth to a "runty” baby who then grows up to be a full-sized frost giant. Or vice versa, a big frosty baby who stays small. Perhaps this might be what happened to Loki. Maybe he was actually a normal-sized frost giant baby who never grew, and Odin mistakenly thought he was a newborn when in truth he might have been closer to a toddler. Who knows? But it’s fun to think about.

In conclusion, anon, according to my very rudimentary calculations, the frost giants of the MCU are indeed sexually compatible with Loki and other mannfólk.

As for the frost giants in the comics... not a snowball’s chance in Muspelheim, I say.

How to Choose the Right Size: A Complete Guide

Finding the perfect size when shopping can be a real struggle, right? We’ve all been there — trying on clothes that either don’t fit or just don’t feel right. But don't worry! This guide will help you figure out how to choose the right size so that you can feel confident in what you're wearing.

Start with Accurate Measurements

Before diving into size charts, take a moment to measure yourself. You don’t need to be a professional tailor, just grab a soft measuring tape! Here's what to measure:

Chest: Around the fullest part of your chest.

Waist: Right at your natural waistline (above your belly button).

Hips: Around the fullest part of your hips.

Inseam: For pants, measure from your crotch to the bottom of the leg.

Size Charts Are Your Friend

Every brand is a little different, so always check their size charts before buying. Some brands use S, M, L, while others use numbers like 2, 4, 6. There are also charts that include height and weight ranges to help guide your decision. Take the time to read through them — it’s worth it!

What Fit Do You Want?

The fit is just as important as the size. A relaxed fit might feel different than a slim fit, so think about the look you want:

Slim Fit: Fitted to the body, hugs your shape.

Regular Fit: A comfy, standard fit.

Loose Fit: Extra room for a relaxed look.

Fabric Matters!

Materials play a big role in how things fit. Fabrics like spandex or jersey stretch, so they might feel snugger. On the other hand, denim or linen can be a little more rigid, so you might need a true-to-size fit. Always check the fabric composition — it makes a difference.

Check Reviews!

Online shopping is great, but reviews can be a lifesaver. People often leave helpful notes on whether an item runs small, big, or true to size. Read those comments to get a better idea of how it might fit you.

Try It On (If You Can!)

Nothing beats trying on clothes in person. If you're in-store, take the time to move around in the clothes. Sit, bend, and walk to see how they feel. If you're shopping online, make sure you check the return/exchange policy just in case it doesn’t work out.

Fit Tips for Specific Clothes

Shirts & Tops: Make sure the shoulders fit well and the sleeves aren’t too tight.

Pants & Jeans: The waistband should sit comfortably without pinching, and the length should suit your legs.

Dresses & Skirts: A dress that skims your curves or flows comfortably will always be flattering.

Shoes: You want enough room for your toes to move, but they shouldn’t slip off your heels.

Don’t Forget the Return Policy!

If you’re unsure about a size, check the return policy! Many stores allow easy exchanges, so you can swap sizes if needed.

Final Thoughts

The perfect fit isn’t just about the numbers — it’s about how the clothes feel and look on you. So next time you shop, take some time to measure yourself, check the charts, and trust your instincts. You'll be rocking your outfits in no time!
