Ophanim/thrones and Cherubs disincluded due to their wildly varying sizes even amongst themselves.
I based it on this:
Yes. Good.
Also theoretically they can adjust their size so they can fit inside of buildings, while still being taller than all but the tallest humans
Also I have a friend I need to show this to.
This size chart is "True Form"'s, like when not using something to shrink themselves... Though Im curious, do you think that any are off at all? Even ifonly slightly. Like, I was unsure about seraphims being that small for their stature, but it both makes sense and doesn't?
Also it is still funny to me that when I showed both the angel and dino size chart someone immediately said "Poor T-Rex" and I couldnt help but imagine an angel and Tyrannosaurus staring at eachother...
Consider this: the more high ranking an angel is, the more human they appear on average. Therefore, counterintuitively, the biggest ones would probably be the lower ranking or middle rank ones. Maybe. Honestly I don't know, but either way I prefer this.
I was under the impression the more wings an angel had, the more powerful they were? And that The inner-heaven angels(generally the most powerful ones) were the least human, with god taking a familiar shape to make us easier to comprehend them, and angels also doing so. I have admittedly not looked into the bible directly, but was basing this on fantasy. STILL- I think its interesting.
Humans were made in god's image, which implies god looks like a human
Ive heard that, but personally and from other perspectives Ive heard, God takes that form to not scare us and due to their power can flat-out pull it off even better than the angels can... being indistinguishable. But your claim is FAR more substantiated, so I cannot argue further. Thank you btw for a good arguement, I wish I could've given you a better arguement.

I think biblically, the seraphim are human sized. This is solely based on how they are described in the beginning of I think Isaiah, with the burning coal to the lips thing.
Revelations might have more information, I forget. Is it Revelations that has the descriptions of most of the angels?
That feels wrong, Seraphim are meant to be like "If one shows up, it ends the world" no? Or was I lied to?

So, basic idea is that The MC reincarnates into a strange cavernous, teal place that they learn is the afterlife of another world... issue is, she doesn't know where anyone is... But she learns that the world is slowly dying as a result of Angels having "won". All competition has died. All opposition, all dissention within humankind and other fantasy species... As a result, the world is slowly decaying into a negentropic ending where everything is still and static... So, the MC slowly has to create something to oppose them, and realizing how dull and orderly everything is... so they try and encourage corrupting others with desires again... to learn to live, and enjoy chaos... Issue is: they now realize they are creating demons... but its too late... they have to keep going, and its working! Giving the Angels opposition is making the world start to move again, the world begins to have meaning again. And slowly, the afterlife becomes hell again... and many tough choices come for the MC... Is she willing to be the villainess to save this world? Should she even be here, and not trying to go home? Should she try and reign in the demons or encourage them to go on and set them up to survive on their own? Will that even work even if she tried to make them tamed? And- will she have to create OTHER forces to create competition for even the demons? And then, at some point, it turns out God died somehow, be it a human hero, fantasy species hero, or simply demons... but retaliation the angels managed to wipe out the previous demons, eldritch, and other forces after one key victory that snowballed them... which makes a parallel to the MC... As without a master to temper their purpose, the angels had misinterpreted their purpose to be for order... and now that creates an existantial crisis...
NOTE: I Can make stories but I cannot write a book. I have tried, and it is not possible for PERSONAL Reasons. So, if this has inspired you, don't waste it, because it cannot go anywhere in my hands.

I based it on this:
I just created a poll, And I was curious if you had any particular thoughts on it. It has nothing to do with what you probably normally talk about, but-... Its about the size of angels...
On the contrary, one of my few famous(ish) posts was about how angels are probably nudists.
The reason for that being minimum(Exceptioning Cherubs) is that Angels are 1: Immortal, 2: highly magical 3: highly powerful, 4: Anything less feels like its strangely not as accurate? Not sure why but something internally just says "No, Ive seen angels, they're not that small". I have no idea wtf thats about though, probably projection from something.
Angels probably wouldn't wear clothes
To explain, in Genesis, human beings start out not wearing clothes. God is caught off guard when Adam and Eve start covering themselves. This implies that, in a pure state, clothes aren't necessary. Therefore, why would angels have clothes?
Also, can you imagine designing clothes for a biblically accurate cherubim? Even a seraphim would be tricky, since you need to account for six wings.
In conclusion, angels are nudists
Actually, the humanoid Angels are ALSO biblically accurate, just low ranked ones. God likely drapes them in clothing because he respects human modern senses to try and communicate. I am NOT Christian, but there is definitively some clothing on some depiction of angels. However, Angels are essentially robots who can learn to be people. Why would they care about nudity on their own right? In heaven its likely that they don't have many clothes outside of literal armor as a result of them being tools and pure of mind and heart.
HOWEVER! There is something to be said that angels can LEARN to be people... Ever wonder why Angels are rarely sent on long-term assignments with humans? Can you imagine how much of a nightmare it would be to find out your angel is into people now and cannot be trusted with naked people anymore? Can you imagine an Angel who has been accidentally taught how to be a person ending up realizing WHY its awkward they're always naked in their home dimension? Its always brief contact and with a sense of superiority bending a knee to aid the smaller folk... Thats to protect their innocence...
So in other words, time to kidnap an angel and make it a gamer and teach it basic manners so we can gaslight heaven into thinking they need to get dressed and so we can get Tetris 2!
In (more obscure) Christain canon, there are actually angels who ended up being into humans.
Some of them apparently had kids.
Actually, wasn't the Nephilim something like that? I did NOT have a good source for this, but I swear I heard someone say that the Nephilim were "The Watchers" meant to watch over humanity but they fell to rulership temptation and tried to takeover... and some even settled down and had kids with the mortals?
Genuinely curious if theres ANYTHING to back up this insane claim I once heard.

Simple, Believe in the next one being better, because even if it is not "Good" believe in making change for the better. yes, a lot of bad things will happen, but if you let negativity define everything, you will find more things going wrong. Do not let them, define your world and your life through the good and possibilities that bring this world to have meaning.
Negativity is NOT to be ignored ofcourse, but it is not ALL that exists, even now! NEVER let your world be narrowly closed off from possibility. Hope is not about irrational wishing well, it is about believing that good can and will exist, be it for yourself or another. That things can continue on a good track(subjectively to your POV).
Do not let the flame of Determination and Perseverence die in your heart, so many now rely on extinguishing your flames and making you dull and quiet. Make 2025 be better, because no matter how horrible your world is, nomatter how lost you feel, If you don't pick a direction to walk towards you will feel as if nothing changes. And if you pick a direction that hurts you, its not going to be a suprise when it hurts you. Let Good be something that happens, rather than something that happens in SPITE of things.
DEFINE YOUR LIFE! SHAPE YOUR WILL TO BE THE PICK THAT BREAKS STONE AND FORGES A CAVE THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN, DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE STAGNANT UNTIL ANOTHER WHO CAN BREAK IT SHATTERS YOUR WALL!
YOU! CAN! DO! IT!
