Zelda’s Diary - Entry One

Height Differences!

I love getting specific with canon heights/weights etc. :3cc A few notable things: -Logan is super short obviously, but he is also SERIOUSLY HEAVY. He could accidentally and casually just bump shoulders with you and you’d probably break your arm or DIE.

-Logan’s footsteps while walking down stairs are probably monstrously loud. He’s actually fallen through a lot of wooden stairs just by using them. One time he stomped through a deck and was suddenly on the first floor, welp.  -Kurt is very average in height but because of his anatomy, namely his feet/spine/counter-balancing tail his natural stance is a bit of a slouch. He’d appear shorter than his full height. However, if he stands on his tippy toes he’d appear surprisingly tall.

-This is probably a good height for acrobatic specialists  -Logan is way shorter than Ororo. KURT IS SHORTER THAN ORORO

-The deep showman’s bow Kurt treats her to sometimes only accentuates that. -Ororo is truly modelesque. Her proportions are super long and elegant. Goddess, yes. 

-Being that Ororo can fly, she can soar above them all so she just Wins™

-If Logan walked up to Piotr in armored form and tried to hug him (as if Logan would ever, but who knows, Piotr is very sweet everyone should hug him) his arms would go around his hips. HIS HIPS

-Kurt will leap up to Piotr’s shoulders and sit up there for a better view of things. Piotr doesn’t mind bc Kurt never treats him like an inanimate perch. Kurt always thanks him for his shoulders and kindly pats him on the back.

-Leaping onto Logan is dangerous and only done to infuriate him during tag.

Oh, something rarely seen! I wrote a thing! 

I’m not a really devoted writer but if the mood takes me, I’ll drabble or work up comic scripts. So this is a short drabble-convo between an older version of Kurt and Ororo somewhere in their late 30s to early 40s. It also doubles as my personal love letter to Ororo (with Kurt as my mouthpeice, haha) I tried to go for a simple affectionate tone rather than true romantic flair but Nightstorm kind of does it’s own thing. This is also completely unrelated to a script I mentioned a while back. Maybe that will come about another day. Enjoy!

“Even if I could avoid a lightning strike, the odds still wouldn’t be in my favor. I’d say I stand a 50/50 chance.” Ororo’s hand came away from her face. “Hm? Why’s that?” “If I may be so bold… There is a goddess in the sky behind all that lighting. You can’t see yourself, so you may not understand the beholder. When you breathe, you take all the world’s atmosphere into your lungs. When you look up you take all the world’s light into your eyes. No one but she could borrow the reigns of nature.  It wouldn’t seem wrong to expect that lighting and yet.. A sight like that, I–” Kurt drifted, looking unexpectedly self-conscious under Ororo’s intensified gaze.

He cleared he throat and continued, this time, more than a bit sheepish. “Your power is truly fearful. I’d linger, I’d hesitate.”

^I particularly love this part!  And honestly, I’d probably hesitate too if I faced off against Storm.

“Power bewitches grace. I’d say that’s only fair.”

It was incredibly fun to do. Their dynamic has a pretty easy natural flow. Oh, I wouldn’t want to face off against Storm either and especially not when she’s angry or feeling some very strong emotion as that would only heighten her powers. Lots of characters would share Kurt’s sentiment about the awe and beauty of Storm’s power but I wanted to show him with equal reverence towards her while she’s without powers, hence this.
