A doubt concerning Tiny

[Pedro]

Hi! So, English is not my native language, and reading WG, WG I'm having some doubts concerning Tiny. Is he chubby/fat or just big? I'm about halfway through the book, and I think I've read contraditory information. When wg first meets him, he says "and
everything is in, like, proportion. so i’m not feeling the repulsion i would expect to feel
toward someone three times my size". But, far ahead, the same wg says "the fatty’s turning me into a softie". Thoughts?

I figured out he was just tall, not necessarily chubby or something. But I wasn't really thinking about it that much.

xD Yeah, that's what I figured. I understand it isn't really THAT important, but whenever I read a book I create a mental image of the characters (for example, in my head, the gay WG is portrayed as Ezra Miller, for some awkward reason), so it really helped me :p Thanks

I think he's tall and also kind of chubby. Or solid/stocky. He's not tall and skinny, I don't think.

“Tiny Cooper is not the world's gayest person, and he is not the world's largest person, but I believe he may be the world's largest person who is really, really gay, and also the world's gayest person who is really, really large.”

He's pretty big.

My exact sentiments.

I think this fan made picture is a good illustration of how he might've looked like. But I think wg is just having some friendly banter, and he isn't really that fat.

I am fairly sure he's over weight.

The way I read him, Tiny is not so much overweight as just larger than life. He's a football player on the offensive line. Sorta like this guy in The Blind Side

i just pictured him chubby not tall

[Lauren]

I thought he was tall and chubby? Not sure

[Camy]

The book calls him fat and with a belly. Read on. He's tall and fat.

Tall and fat, but not grossly overweight - not quite Howard Taft, but more like Theodore Roosevelt. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&r...

That's how I picture him. I know a few guys who are just very large guys--not necessarily fat or obese, but they have a lot of bulk to them if that makes sense.

It never really mattered to me, once i started reading their personalities sort of shined through more than their appearences. My image of them changed depending on the situation and the description i was given at the time.

It says somewhere in there that's he's like 300 pounds and there's some imagery about his fat rolls too, so...
