BUCK & EDDIE ACTUAL SIZES: A Thorough Essay, Part 1
(I would post this all at once but the new tumblr thingee only lets me post 10 photos at a time, and THAT WILL NOT DO)
Alright folks, have a seat! Today we’re going to discuss the REAL size difference between Eddie and Buck once and for all. There are too many discrepancies at the moment, so I'm going to burn an unGodly amount of time I should be using to work to set the record straight gay bi.
Currently, based off of a good deal of collective fandom description, Buck looks like this:
And Eddie looks like this:
This discrepancy presents itself in many ways, from Clothing Sharing fanfics that show Buck *HULK SMASH* splitting all the seams of Eddie’s clothes, and the reverse of Eddie veritably swimming in Buck’s clothes (wHy to both??). Then there’s Eddie having to get in his ippy tippy toes to kiss Buck (nope), or Buck having to bend alllllllll the way down to kiss Eddie (also no). Onwards we have descriptions of hugs where Buck holds Eddie in his arms, delicate and small like a wee starved orphan and Eddie struggling to reach all the way around Buck’s *HULK SMASH* massive girth... I can go on, but I think I’ve made my point. (actually one more: What the fuck is up with giving Buck massive hands and Eddie lil teeny tiny ones?? ‘Kay I’m done now) Okay, onward to the important corrections accompanied by useful visual references.
Note: I will be going over various proportions, from head to hands, to height to torso size to musculature--and for musculature I will go by season since that changes quite a bit (but NEVER ENOUGH to justify the descriptions above). ALSO fair warning, once you have seen the proportions I will point out, you CANNOT unsee them.
(More underneath the cut to save your dash ^3^)
Height
Let's start with the most basic: height. This is simply done with a Google search--Oliver Stark is 6'2 and Ryan Guzman is 6' exactly. So Buck and Eddie are two inches apart. Enough to be noticeable but hardly enough that anyone has to stretch/duck to reach anything.
Think this:
NOT this:
Torso
Why torso, you ask? Well, for buddie it actually makes a large impact on the above mentioned height difference, you'll see what I mean in a minute:
Have a good long look at that. Wardrobe dressed them the same and it is going to help illustrate this IMMENSELY (thank you, wardrobe! ^3^)
What do your elf eyes see?
Correct, Ryan Guzman's torso is A LOT LONGER than Oliver Stark's! Why is this important? Well for one thing, it creates the illusion that Oliver is even taller when they're standing up, since Oliver's short torso gives him gorgeous legs FOR DAYSSSSS. It also means their belt lines are miles apart, despite being almost the same height, which again makes Ryan look artificially shorter at first glance. Don't let yourselves be fooled though--remember, height is only measured in one thing: How far the top of their heads are from that off-white ceiling.
The other reason their torso height difference is very important is this:
Do you see it yet? K one more:
That's correct!! Because his torso is longer, EDDIE IS TALLER THAN BUCK WHEN THEY'RE SITTING DOWN. Proportions are wild, I know XD
Part 2 coming up! In it we'll discuss head size, hand size, and the highly anticipated (and highly contested) mUSculAtuRE :)

Many thanks to @blutterlie, our discussion on this topic is what inspired this post! And thank you also to @trashendence for sending me the wardrobe photo where they're dressed the same, I could not find that thing to save MY LIFE!

❛ someone is looking for you. ❜ face partly veiled and with the long dark robe the stranger might not seem like the most trustworthy person one could encounter in the crowded alleys of the seaport. yet few walking here would. despite this, he knows much of what goes on ‘pon thedas’ shores and at its seas, knows of alliances, and of the other man’s. even though an associate of the inquisition, he doesn’t only do the honorable. he surely has his enemies. such must be the group of sailors he’d overheard mere moments ago. his mission here isn’t to give warning to qunari pirates, but he will provide such for an ally to the honorable cause if needed. pupils move up and down as he scans the captain’s form. ❛ and it seems you do not believe in the keeping of such as a “low profile”... ❜

Well since it's St Paddy's day, I'll go with this one. So in Philly we call subs (y'know the long sandwich boys) "hoagies". The lore is that Irish dockworkers started calling their sandwiches "hoggies" because the Navy shipyard they worked on was located on Hog Island. And because the Philly accent is trash, the word changed from "hoggies" to "hoagies" over time.
hey catsuggest is a sideblog of a proven terf, there's tons of sources on this from a quick tumblr search
afaik the owner has changed and the current mod isn't a terf? but if not I have no vested interest in that post and will happily delete if they're shitty as a person
