Tall Magical Scientist Tedd
Added 2022-06-24 03:00:00 +0000 UTCAs a seer, Tedd relies on wands to cast the vast majority of their spells.
Wands need not be sticks, however. They can be clothing accessories, and even just clothing.
The limiting factor for such wands is that they can't store much, if any, power themselves. All the magic energy used needs to come from either ambient magic, or the caster themselves.
This is less of an issue for Tedd, however, as they have an absurd amount of power, and are wearing at LEAST eleven wands at the moment.
Which of them was responsible for making them as tall as Susan is unclear, but my money's on the belt. A belt that changes you when you hold down a button on the buckle would be a very Tedd-like thing to create.

But the greatest power here is FASHION

2022-06-28 05:22:56 +0000 UTCIs it kind of like how canon just has to shift over time, and at some point "but what about continuity" has to give way to "the story is more important than technical details"? Like how Star Trek has always been completely and totally inconsistent about how the transporter works? They give inconsistent explanations in the first season of TOS, because the story was just more important, damn it.

2022-06-25 16:51:25 +0000 UTCOk seriously, this is perfect fodder for some kind of transformation hijinks. Like Ted shows Ashley the outfit and says something like, "each of these accessories has a different enchantment attached to transform the wearer in some way," then shows off like 2 of them. Then later Ashley "borrows" the outfit to play with the transformations. SHENANIGANS ENSUE!!!

2022-06-25 13:56:47 +0000 UTCI don't recall you calling Tedd "they" before. It took me a couple reads to make sense of the sentence.

2022-06-25 03:42:32 +0000 UTCMy headcanon tells me that at least half of them let her change what sex, gender, or both she is or appears to be, but none of them in the same way. After all, she doesn't have nearly enough ways to do this important thing. I mean, even after adding these to her collection.

2022-06-25 03:25:04 +0000 UTC... I was comparing Tedd to the size of the unit of measurement, not implying the measurement changed Tedd's height in any way. Compairing a planck unit to the size of a single hydrogen atom is equalivent in scale to comparing a single hydrogen atom to the size of the sun. Tedd is significantly larger than a hydrogen atom, hence she would be astronomically huge when compared to the size of the Planck unit.

2022-06-25 02:23:42 +0000 UTCWell, no. It would just make her height a big number. The same way in my old workplace when someone accidentally put a height in as 72 meters, that didn't make the subject any taller.

2022-06-24 22:42:04 +0000 UTCPlanck Units, the smallest unit of measurement known to mankind. Clocking in at roughly 10^-35 meters, it's pretty darn small. If you tried to get any smaller, concepts such as length and width just lose all meaning and probably means you've become a black hole. This would make Tedd astronomically huge by comparison.

2022-06-24 20:29:12 +0000 UTCI like how happy Tedd looks here. Every spell she could imagine is at her fingertips. I can imagine her eagerly reciting what each one does. "And this one lets me grow!"

2022-06-24 14:00:57 +0000 UTC"Tall" you say - inches or centimeters?

2022-06-24 09:43:18 +0000 UTCDid Dan honestly forget about the magic cat belt from ages ago? I can't tell if the narration is a joke, a reference, or they genuinely forgot.

2022-06-24 07:46:44 +0000 UTCBut the Glasses, the Dress, and the Lab coat could also be "wands". Also, even though you can't see them I assume that Ted is wearing panties, a bra, shoes, and some form of socks or stockings, all of which could be "wands. That's a lot of potential wands.

2022-06-24 06:25:36 +0000 UTCOh, indeed! I missed the earrings, but counted the two visible clothing items (the dress and labcoat), and then realized that they are also wearing glasses so I got to 12 that way. It does seem more likely that the "11 yellow accessories" are the ones mentioned in the description, but I really like the idea of a labcoat as a magic wand, perhaps loaded with protective spells.
