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).

“we accept the love we think we deserve” drives me insane, drags my sanity to the moon, through hell, and to saturn and back, and alters everything inside me on a molecular level. i just can’t stop thinking about it

#i keep reminding myself that but #I WANT TO BE LOVED #I CARE MORE TO BE LOVED #i’m sick and insane and worst of all desperate #my reasoning is so selfish i get that but is there anything more selfish than this to begin with #ewwww sometimes i look at myself in this state from a third person point of view and feel like judging because why.#WHY DID YOU LET YOURSELF PONDER #you have the goal™️ to focus on #got lovestruck went straight to my head #the perks of being a wallflower #nadirants

I really am a sucker for dual male lead media where they appear as complete opposites only to end up being eachothers foils and somehow also ending up being completely depended on eachother despite of (because of) their differences

You lose the plot when discussing and fighting for minorities when you buy into the specific brand of (specifically christianity) "suffering is Divine, and the more you Suffer, the More Divine you are."

Suffering is suffering is suffering - when you choose to ignore a marginalized group's suffering because they are not suffering enough or are not "good victims," you have lost the plot.

#politics #i've seen this a lot in some trans spaces and it's kind of scary #because honestly the whole 'suffering is divine actually' is pretty victim blame-y and it expects victims or whatever to carry that burden.#...if suffering is divine then is it not sacrilege to refuse that suffering? surely if you're suffering you are either...#...Deserving of suffering or you are Chosen for something Higher Than Yourself and are therefore a sacrificial lamb (not a person)...#...like do you see how that is inherently dehumanizing to have your SUFFERING be sympathetic but not you as a HUMAN BEING #like i need to stress that all you are doing is essentially fetishizing that somebody is suffering...#...and that you deem yourself high enough if an authority to Judge that suffering...#...and if it isn't good enough or they aren't being a Good Victim about it then they are shit out of luck in term of your help...#...i use the impersonal 'you' here but i need to highlight *why* this line of thinking is (imo) actively dangerous..

I typed up a post on how Laios and Kabru's interaction is important context to Laios and Toshiro's conversation about how Toshiro has always been uncomfortable around Laios, and then I started tacking a disclaimer onto it, but I realized that they'd both probably do better as their own posts, so here we go:

Toshiro isn't being a terrible person and he acts the way he does because of how he was taught to interact with people; he has legitimate reasons to be uncomfortable around Laios, even if Laios is being genuine and does not mean harm. Sometimes people are incompatible with each other personality-wise, and sometimes people who mean well hurt others because of ignorance or ingrained prejudice.

It's probably also worth mentioning that Laios and Toshiro manage to have that conversation and thereafter are much better are working together. It's a very sad scene, both seeing how hurt Laios is and how uncomfortable Toshiro has been, with no way to speak out on it, but after the conversation, the blows end. They're civil to each other. They're kinder to each other now that they understand where they're both coming from.

Just... sometimes you're Laios, who's just trying to be friendly and genuine (in a world where people have been so cold to you for just being yourself, wishing that you could get back half the energy you put into other people), and it's going to hurt when you realize that people don't like you as well as you like them. Sometimes you're Toshiro, who's stressed and uncomfortable around the people who are supposed to be your friends (but still get your name wrong and ignore your boundaries and ask you hurtful questions), and you're going to have to weigh whether it's better to grin and bear it while it lasts or better to cause a scene.

They both probably could've been friends, or at least happier, if they'd had this conversation earlier. But that's not what they were taught to do.

#dungeon meshi spoilers #character analysis #laios touden #toshiro nakamoto #i guess. before you judge toshiro too harshly ask yourself #how many times is it worth it to assert your boundaries without being rude before you give up?

grown man calls you his kitten in front of your friends, what do you do? (aka what happens when @four-white-trees and I have been very bad influences on each other)

#kuwagami #yagami takayuki #kuwana jin #lost judgment #judgment #judge eyes #takayuki yagami #jin kuwana #sugiura fumiya #kaito masaharu #jichanart #inspired by discord shenanigans #again #the idea of kuwana calling yagami his kitten with his whole damn chest was just too funny to pass up on #ESPECIALLY with an audience #because you just know this is going to be held over yagami's head forever #as soon as he thinks everyone's forgotten kaito snorts and says “kitten” and yagami cannot wish death upon kuwana harder #kuwana's shitty flirting is so real to me #and yagami hates that he's still in love with him. embarrassing #tbh i was planning to use the “go fuck yourself” for something in a fic but i couldn't think of another set up for my shitty kitten joke #so if you see me use that again no you didn't #personally my favourite parts of this are the kuwana in the first panel (cute) and the reaction shots at the end lol #yagami's face truly says “kys” and i wouldnt have it any other way #i've gotta get more familiar with comics and csp's tools because it's a bit rough around the edges but fun to make #and i also gotta draw catboy yagami tbh #sorry. had a lot of thoughts making this.#hope you like it kuwagami friends :D

I'm just gonna say it. If you're a leftist jew that is so far removed from their Judaism that you can gleefully support a group who is burning your people, beheading your babies, raping your children and slaughtering your women, you don't deserve to call yourself a Jew. I am so beyond sickened by you. You are a shame to klal Yisrael and no community should welcome you lest you stab them in the back.

#jumblr #judaism #jewish #jewblr #youre a fucking monster is what you are #youre a shame to us #youre a shame to God #and He will not forget this when He judges you #if we still did excommunication id remove you from our fucking community #tw rape #you have bought into the propaganda used against your forefathers #and tokenize yourself #you are a fucking SHAME

can you imagine being kang yohan. you go to work and deal with people hating/aggressively fawning over you all day. then you go back to the respite of your own home only to find that your teenage niece and your brand-new live-in boyfriend have teamed up with each other to call you a boomer

#god love him #htoo watches the devil judge #the devil judge #the way he stood in front of the mirror afterwards like 'i don't know why she'd call ga on an ahjussi :/'#uh huh bro. keep telling yourself that
