#but in terms of the height thing specifically
What are your headcanons on Auguste & Laurent’s height?
I kind of like the idea that they’re deceivingly the same height, but Laurent is so much thinner noone notices that. And of course, noone saw them standing side by side as adults. Like Laurent always considered Auguste tall because he was a lot taller than a child Laurent, when in reality Laurent grew to be about the same but finds comparison with Damen since Damen still towers over him as an adult.
This is really interesting! 100% agree with Laurent always seeing Auguste as larger-than-life, even if he ends up being the same height/around the same height as an adult. I do wonder, though, whether Laurent’s traumas affected his development (i.e., epigenetics) – not by much, but perhaps he ends up a little shorter than he might have otherwise. Regardless, I love the idea of Laurent always seeing Auguste as this utterly unattainable figure that he’s built up in his mind over the years.
