#tweel

so why  is floyd  THAT MUCH TALLER and jade isless noodly than him?

I’m gonna start addressing the theories  about floyd being a late bloomer/having a delayed growth spurt compared to jade

both the tweels are of course still growing, since despite being GIANTS  they are afterall still 17 but we heard a detail from  floyd unique from what we know about jade that also will lead to the following bit of the theories In floyd’s starsending episode translated by Ekala  he states that

 to adjust the mold of custom made shoes  he has probebly gotten considerably taller within the year

According to some this means that floyd’s uniforms aren’t short on purpose  but are simply his first year ones and hedidn’t change them...but in that case jade wouldn’t have grown much  in height...

the Candy theory tho gives us more insight about that, according  to it, their  upgrade candies  highlight their strenghts/charm points so Tail Fin Candy for floyd meaning legs and height and Dorsal Fin Candy  for  jade focusing more on his torso/back

i’ve seen many people comapring sprites toprove this theory on twitter so it’s time to show some examples, i’ll try to recreatethem as best as i can

this repeats in pretty much all the  versions aside the mermaid sprites that are copy/pasted BUT on that someone call in the octavinelle trailer  to support the theory

in addition we can clearly see baby floyd  was indeed shorter than baby jade in middle school even without the  aid of guiding lines

So in conclusion, in the headcanons  we were discussing with  my friend floyd “just started” getting his growth spurt  while jade is pretty much settling his height but considering his monster apetite and slightly wider frame he would probably end up getting a less noodly frame thanhis  sckyscreaper brother thank you for  coming to my TED talk hope i haven’t forgotten anything BONUS:i forgot to mention the   hand differences- despite always keeping an elegant posture jade’s hands and wrists appear to be slightly thicker than floyd’s hands who appear to be also smoother

bonus from the guidebook

fllowing the green guidelines  we get

further update to support the  theory! this time  the  references  come  from the Union Birthday  model atlases starting with the  difference in rendering  of  their  gilets that  being the  same  shape  have  some pretty distinct  rendering on the  contrary of  the usual ( mermaid  copy/paste-very similar  halloween) as in jade  we  even find  back the  return of  the  button crying  for  help

one last element is   the  belt as  all the models  come  with a  separate  belt  but  i  decided to merge  it with their  hips  to  give  better context as there’s  no  variation in the  legs  and  as usual floyd’s  are  slightly  thicker but  something we  never  analized  surfaces here , and  i  think there’s  not even need to explain this

also in mer-form when having the  same  position  you can see another visible  difference  between jade  and  floyd
