Character heights

I did a thing.

Here's the same chart with metric height lines.

For those characters who didn't have specific heights listed, I went off a mix of actor height and average height (by age in the cases of Calliope and Melanie). And um, here's a chart of the heights I used. (Should be editable by anyone.) Please do give corrections if you think someone's off. I mean I didn't really consult people sO THINGS COULD BE OFF, but that is fixable.

I used this page (thanks, Ollie) to get the sizing, which you can use if you want to compare specific people. I just really like having the visual reference.

I need to be better at remembering how much Peter towers over Gabriel.

Good lord, Ianto is nearly a foot taller than the TARDIS. I knew she was short but dang. So he must go up high and she goes down low for hugs.

[powerdealer]

Good thing the TARDIS has plenty of staircases.

[theoldgirl]

He has to really work for those cheek kisses he keeps giving her, too.

[i_jones]

He's probably got all sorts of back problems from doing that. Good thing he has a cane now.

Hey where's MY cheek kiss icon, didn't I have one of those

[theoldgirl]

Everyone just needs to be on the floor when the TARDIS is in the room, like the peasants weird babies they are.

You DID where did it gooo. I hope the awkward hugs icon is still there at least, awkward Ianto hugs are so important.

THERE I added three more and I still have space for 16 more

How nerdy and helpful, I like it.

Though I'm pretty sure Cecil is in fact impossibly tall.

can we have that chart in meters too for those living in the reasonable part of the world

[i_jones]

Stephen Merchant wouldn't even fit on that chart, that's how ridiculously tall he is.

[theoldgirl]

He's the right size, the chart just warped around him.

[i_jones]

This is ummmm kind of right.

[theoldgirl]

the helpfulest Ianto

Here's the chart with CM height lines.

I've clearly been brainwashed, because while I still absolutely need driving distances and stuff in metric, weight in metric, temperature in metric... I spend so much time talking about actors and characters with Americans that specifically for HEIGHT, I have a much better sense of it in inches than CM.

And Cecil's app actually says "not tall and not short", as is his canon height I believe? So I gave him average height. Ofc, that might be based on NV standards, so he MIGHT be impossibly tall by our standards??

[johnny_truant]

my theory is that Cecil is whatever height appears neither tall nor short to each individual person. but Stephen Merchant is is 6'7 which is incredible and difficult to deny, so who even knows.

[powerdealer]

Yeah see the problem with that is he would break the chart.

Excited to play someone tall, so I can pretend what it might feel like in real life.

[peacefulexplorer]

I feel. I really do.

[fucking_ebay]

Haha I'm-a app a shorty next so I can pretend I'm not a giraffe
