Law's Hand Size
Welcome to Law's Physics Lab. Today we'll calculate the Surgeon of Death's hand size and finger length.
Since Law is winning the poll — I see you all, my Law-loving moots, I see you, and I love you and yeah I agree 100% we need to know Dr Trafalgar's hand size and finger length for science — I decided to do the calculations!
Let's jump right in!
We’ll use 11% proportion of Law’s body to get his hand length. He is the height of an NBA basketball player. (Not me realising during my NBA players research I should have given Doflamingo even bigger hand proportions like his hands aren't huge enough already that calculation stays, man can crush my skull in his hand already, enough is enough). So, yeah Law's hand will be at least 20 cm minimum, 24 cm maximum. Law is not as bulky as everyone, so I think leaving it at 11% is fine.
Hand = height • proportion
Hand = 191 • 0.1106
Law’s Hand Length = 21.12 cm
Pretty normal, and fits Law's height.
Onto fingers.
Middle finger: 35-40% hand length
Index finger: 30-35%
Ring finger: 30-35%
Little finger: 30-35%
Thumb: 22-27%
We’ll max them out like with Doflamingo's.
Middle finger: 40%
Index finger: 35%
Ring finger: 35%
Little finger: 34%
Thumb: 27%
Formula:
percentage • hand length = finger length
Law’s Fingers Length
Middle finger= 0.40 • 21.12 = 8.44 cm
Index finger = 0.35 • 21.12 = 7.39 cm
Ring finger = 0.35 • 21.12 = 7.39 cm
Little finger = 0.34 • 21.12 = 7.18 cm
Thumb = 0.27 • 21.12 = 5.70 cm
Very very nice fingers, he can operate very well with them. 😊💛
Palm Width = 21.12 - 8.44= 12.68 cm
His finger width is somewhere between 1-1.5 cm I reckon. He has slender fingers.
And there we have it, Law's hand and fingers!
A/N: I thought Law was 192 cm, he's 191 cm but I like this og result so it's staying like that.
Okay, this is in incredibly petty nitpick, but: if you’re writing a fantasy setting with same-sex marriage, a same-sex noble or royal couple typically would not have titles of the same rank - e.g., a prince and a prince, or two queens.
It depends on which system of ranking you use, of course (there are several), but in most systems there’s actually a rule covering this scenario: in the event that a consort’s courtesy title being of the same rank as their spouse’s would potentially create confusion over who holds the title by right and who by courtesy, the consort instead receives the next-highest title on the ladder.
So the husband of a prince would be a duke; the wife of a queen, a princess; and so forth.
(You actually see this rule in practice in the United Kingdom, albeit not in the context of a same-sex marriage; the Queen’s husband is styled a prince because if he were a king, folks might get confused about which of them was the reigning monarch.)
The only common situation where you’d expect to see, for example, two queens in the same marriage is if the reigning monarchs of two different realms married each other - and even then, you’d more likely end up with a complicated arrangement where each party is technically a princess of the other’s realm in addition to being queen of her own.
You’ve gotta keep it nice and unambiguous who’s actually in charge!
