Let f Narrator be 6'0. Coward.

i am in favor of that as well

thinking about Phoenix Fulwright….😳

A character reference based on all four Steps of Our Life! It's only "sort of" a height reference as well since obviously they're not 100% accurate (the devs don't have specific heights for everyone to my knowledge).

I did dig into the code to try and get characters at their "normal" heights but there are other matters at play too (example: Nicolas is obviously "taller" than he should be because he needs to be pushed upwards to be visible enough above the game's text box; likewise with other very short characters).

Still, this should serve as either a nice reference guide for every character or a "height reference" in the sense of getting an idea of which characters are shorter/taller than others.

I'm also going to detail some extra notes below the break, including posts from GB Patch's Tumblr that reference any defined heights (with Cove being the obvious one) or general height things, as well as some more stuff about the MC's height in comparison to the three love interests depending on what you pick.

Cove's height is listed on GB Patch's FAQ as 4' 1" in Step 1 (also stated as "mostly average, perhaps a bit on the short side"), 5' 4" in Step 2 (in-game this is defined as "very tall" on the MC's potential height spectrum, as that is the only option considered on par with Cove's height), 6' 0" in Step 3, and 6' 4" in Step 4. A fun fact is that Cove's final height was originally 6' 3" (191cm) instead.

Derek in Step 2 is under five feet tall (this post also lists Cove as "around 5 and a half feet tall" which you could take as either close enough to 5' 4" as stated above or a potential original height he had that got changed). In-game, he's "short" but not "very short", as having your MC be "very short" will prompt narration telling you that you're shorter than Derek, whereas "short" only has you relate to him in smolness generally.

Step 4 Derek is "mostly average." He wouldn't be considered tall nor would he be considered short. His youngest brother Nicolas will "probably end up as a similar height to him" once he's more grown up.

Step 4 Baxter is "taller than average, but not especially tall."

I've been informed that, on the Our Life Patreon Discord, Step 4 Derek's height is listed as 5' 9" (175cm) whereas Step 4 Baxter's is listed as 5' 11" (180cm), so those are their defined heights. Before that, both of their heights had jumped around somewhat. A post from 2019 said that Derek was 5' 11", but a post from June 2021 said that Baxter was 5' 11" and Derek was 5' 9" (so consistent with the Discord). Then there's also another post from July 2021 (you'll have to scroll down for this one) that listed Baxter at around 5' 10" while Derek was 5' 8"/5' 9". If you're insane enough to try and use the character reference too, then Baxter would actually be around 6'1" at minimum since he's taller than Step 3 Cove (though you could also make the same argument that this means the mom trio of Pamela, Noelani, and Kyra must be decently tall as well since they're so close to Cove on the character reference).

I don't have any experience with GB Patch's other game, XOXO Droplets, so I don't know what ages the characters are in it, but since both Shiloh and Jeremy are characters seen visibly in Our Life, I thought I'd also mention that they're listed as 5' 10" and 5' 5" (or 5' 5 1/2") respectively in XOXO Droplets. Jeremy also apparently grows to 5' 8" in his 20s and he's 22 in the Our Life Cove Wedding DLC (I don't think this is spoken of in the game specifically but he's labeled as 22 in the code).

As for the MC and how their height plays into things, "tall" and "very tall" as well as "short" and "very short" tend to be considered the same for the most part in the game's code. It's not that there isn't a difference at all (I would say it's still notable), it's just that sometimes the game may be more vague about height differences. My post about Errands references this where you don't need more athletic points due to being "very short" instead of "short" to give Cove a piggyback ride.

A guesstimate I'd make is that about 5% of the time, the game will take note of whether you're "very tall" instead of "tall" or "very short" instead of "short." Otherwise, you're either "generally tall," "average," or "generally short." There are also other instances (usually with Cove) where the game might just check if you're either generally tall (around Cove's height) or not generally tall (i.e: definitely shorter than him).

This is actually relevant to the heights because, following all above information, one would assume that Step 4 Derek is average, Step 4 Baxter is tall, and Step 4 Cove is very tall going off the MC's potential "height spectrum" of very short, short, average, tall, and very tall, but it's not entirely the case.

A "tall" MC (generally tall) will look "down" at Step 4 Baxter just as he will look "up" at them or they'll look directly at each other if the MC is "average," same as Step 3 Baxter, but--

when the game has any instance of differentiating between "tall" and "very tall" (they never do this for Step 3 Baxter so the base assumption would have to be that he's just average height), things change.

During Baxter's apology in the wedding of his Step 4, Baxter dips his chin to look at the MC if they're "short"/"very short," levels his chin to look at the MC if they're "average"/"tall," and then lifts his chin to look at the MC if they're "very tall." A generally tall MC still has to lean down to kiss him if they choose to do so though.

Also, during the intimacy scene with Baxter (either in his office or his living room), if the MC is "very short," "short," or "average," it states that Baxter is taller than them. If they're "very tall," then Baxter is shorter than them, but a "tall" MC is "almost the exact same height" as him.

This is all a really long-winded way of saying that GB Patch referring to Step 4 Baxter being "taller than average but not especially tall" might mean that he's some infuriating middle ground between average and tall where he's not quite one but not quite the other either (which honestly is very Baxter of him so I can't even be mad).

Graeme Callister is a historian of the Napoleonic & Revolutionary era, and he says that Napoleon was above average height for the infantry, and average among the grenadiers.

I watched the Devil Judge recently and I really enjoyed it, especially the complex and ensnaring relationship between Kang Yohan and Kim Gaon. I think the series really demonstrates the power of creativity and themes all complimented by the stellar acting of the main cast. It was enjoyable being seduced by the narrative and the modern and dystopic world it presented, with interesting questions posed about corruption, populism, fascism, mob justice and the characters that inhabit them that are very relevant to our own world.

One of my favourite things was how instinctive the fury and retribution was. At the press of a button, so easy and convenient, people didn't think about the ethics, they just wanted to make evildoers suffer, and have the power to do it, and the more desperate they became, the more unthinkingly vicious and sadistic, the easier they were to manipulate. The show is very good at making the audience feel a part of that as well, with all the lies and half-truths the characters tell, and I felt myself taken along for the ride, baying for blood with the mob at points even knowing it was a slippery slope for society.

After all, what Kang Yohan offers is very tempting, which is why I suppose he really is the Devil Judge.

I just made a realization…that I don’t know how to process…

My favorite anime growing up was Yu Yu Hakusho(still love it btw)

My favorite anime as an adult is Bungou Stray Dogs

My favorite characters in YYH are Hiei and Kurama

My favorite characters in BSD are Chuuya and Dazai

…

These are two of my biggest ships…and it literally feels like I posted the same picture but color swapped…

I feel like there’s a deeper meaning behind this…but I’m not sure I wanna know what that is.

Heyheyheyyy and could you do Kate laswell x reader who’s really tall, like 6’8 kinda tall yk, i understand if not since it might be difficult but either way your work is really good :DDD

Hey there! Thank you, that's very sweet of you ^^ And sure I can!

Laswell with Very Tall S/O

I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t think she cares all that much about how tall you are. You could be the tiniest gremlin known to man or you could rival the skies with your height, she’ll love you all the same. She doesn’t fluster easily either if you just kabedon her, so I don’t think it has much of an impact on your relationship. Sure, she’ll appreciate you grabbing something for her, but she’ll also scold you if you use your height to your advantage to hold something out of her reach. She’s not a very cuddly person in general. Not that she’s entirely averse to touch, but she prefers to not be touched most of the time, so it’s not like she’ll get much cuddlier either like other characters. Sure, she’ll ask you to lean down if she wants to give you a small peck on the cheek, but if you tease her by not leaning down then it’s really your loss since she won’t kiss you then. She doesn’t really feel threatened by you being much taller than her, if anything she’ll use it to her advantage. You can spot things more easily than she does, which is why she might ask you to tag along when she’s going to crowded areas so she can find a better route through the people. It’s handy to have you around when she goes to larger stores since you can actually reach the upper shelves. So she’ll definitely use you to her advantage. But she’ll also chuckle a bit when you hit your head on the doorframe. Does ask you if you’re alright, though. However, she’s more than happy to help you find clothes and shoes that fit since she can imagine that it might be quite the hassle for you. She knows where to look for bigger clothes and shoes. And if you can’t find anything even then, then she’ll have something made for you. That way you’ll have something comfortable and fitting.

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸

[Ep. Eight] Day at the Museum!

Y’all don’t even know how much that hand-hold means for our guy Josiah! 😌 These two definitely enjoyed themselves on this date, able to take their time with each other and navigate their conversations free of interruptions!

A wonderful day full of healthy debate and trips to the past wrapped up with a bountiful lunch in the museum’s garden! Of course, that didn’t mean their discussion on the evidence of a werewolf presence in ancient Komorebi stopped there! 😉

[ Part 2/2 ] 🌹

*Cough*

So anyway au where Eclipse is one of the ordinary daycare crew, just a big and tol good boi who normally who doesn't speak as he doesn't like how loud and scary his voice is due to like a manufacturing error so he signs, helping translate for the deaf/nonverbal kids and maybe doing easy beginner sign language lessons for anyone who wanted to learn

Consider him and y/n having some kind of argument and y/n starting to walk away in a huff or covering their eyes so they can't see what Eclipse is trying to sign, so he picks them up with one set of arms and continues to sign super fast and angrily with the other while y/n is trying not to show how incredibly flustered they are. Like he picks them up often to help them reach things n such but only after making sure they're cool with it a thousand times over since he's self-conscious about how intimidating his height makes him so now it's like they're all powerless and strangely okay with that oh no

Consider also infected Eclipse losing all that shyness and speaking down at y/n in his actual voice, which is enough to rattle the floor. Also also consider he then picks y/n up, though this time he isn't worried at all about being gentle so he gives them a lil squeeze and is like "So fragile... I could crush you right now if you weren't my favorite" . Y/n then has two realizations: one: they're his favorite, whatever that might mean (oblivious idiot trope my love), and two: has a I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me moment (too late it did and they'll now be thinking about it long after Eclipse is cured oh n o )

them <3
