Where do I begin? You can use the back of the second shelf in cabinets, you can store things on top of the refrigerator, you can walk faster, clothes look more flattering and well-proportioned, and when you use the washing machine, you don't need to climb or jump-- You can just bend right over and grab things out of it without issue! Even with a stepping stool, I'm at risk of falling in or losing my center of balance.
[ typical tall freak doesn't realize how good he has it-- ]
What sort of emergency? If there's a killer on the loose, or we're stranded, or what have you, unfortunately I will most likely be taken out first on account of being deliberately targeted. I can hide, but ultimately if you're motivated to eat me or kill me, there's little I can do.
Now, I will admit, having access to unique hiding places and being exceptionally nimble are great advantages. In a natural disaster, being easy to pick up and carry is also advantageous.
you have a point there, it does depend on the scale of the emergency then, in a direct one-on-one situation, the smaller person probably does have a disadvantage. but in a mass scale emergency situation, i think the smaller person will generally have an advantage...
That's a good way to put it. A good portion of my complaints come from one-on-one interactions. Thankfully, my status as the main character will most likely grant me protection from being caught in the end.
[ rip to the other shorties of the world. ]
Is that so? How curious. Then again, height isn't everything. A strong, robust body is also important. I'm hoping to get a *little bit* bigger with my growth spurt as well, just so I don't look like a beanpole. As I am now, I'm fairly certain if you put your hands around my waist, your thumbs could touch.
[ riddle does, in fact, have the smallest human waist in canon. also, do not ask him about messi, he'll complain that he's still tall and it doesn't count-- after asking who that is, of course, because he genuinely only knows maybe a handful of bastard munchen's lineup and, like. david beckham. ]
? getting taller will just make you look even more like a beanpole, though
[ he doesn't want to directly break it to riddle, but if that's his issue, then he has to bulk up above all else... plenty of soccer pros out there with twinkish physiques... ]
As long as I exercise to tone up, and dress myself well, I should still be able to maintain an elegant appearance, right? I still want to be able to wear dresses and skirts.
[ he's...starting to figure it out. and it's scaring him, because what do you mean he has to choose between sexually confusing men or not falling into the washing machine? what the fuck?? what the FUCK! ]
i dont think height disbars anybody from being able to wear what they want, first of all...
[ but maybe kaiser is biased, being a boy who wears eyeliner and has the exact same androgynous face his mother does... ]
but if youre going to pick what you wear to look as elegant as possible, isnt it more about picking whats most flattering? like, tall women wear different dresses than short women do.
It's mostly an issue I run into when wearing men's clothes. Even in their smallest sizes, sleeves are often too long, and shirts look boxy and make me look even smaller. Long blazers or cardigans, and big patterns in general tend to be unflattering on shorter people. Of course, technically anyone can dress however they please, but it can be humbling and inconvenient, trying to find ways to make pieces you're in love with work for you.
Well, yes, exactly. I like the look of a lot of dresses tall women can wear. Granted, I really can wear most of the things I like without too much issue, but being taller certainly wouldn't hurt my market value.
[ riddle doesn't know how to say 'being tall would make me hot whereas right now i'm pretty at best' without making things weird, so he keeps that to himself. to the surprise of no one, going all-in on his appearance is a whole new Thing for him so thinking about it can be overwhelming. it's easier and less potentially humbling to just buy expensive shit or simple outfits and call it a day. ]
The most important thing about being tall is the practicality of it, though. That is my main motivation.
[ "arent you rich or something?? get tailoring"... he presses backspace on all of that. it's a different in perspective, perhaps; riddle wants to wear what he likes, whereas kaiser tends to wear what looks good on him. kaiser can understand that, even if he doesn't get it.
also, sometimes women just want to vent without a man telling them solutions, he gets it! ]
have you considered about airplane seats? transportation seating in general?

counterpoint. in an emergency situation dont you think a smaller person is more likely to survive?
