Prime Ribz

Instead of being something scary they could be seen as protectors. Whenever there’s a storm, birds, rabbits, etc. will come to the giant for shelter. The giant can also be a source of water and food! They can use their hands to cup water and hold it down for thirsty deer to drink from. But even for transport; a bear has strayed too close to human settlements and the giant takes them back to the forest.

I mean, in a way, that already happens in nature with sharks and remoras (suckerfish), and whales with barnacles. There’s plenty more symbiotic relationships between huge predators and smaller animals in nature. So why not in g/t?

- ERMMMM… THAT JUST HAPPENED!

- HE’S RIGHT BEHIND ME, ISNT HE?

- WELL… THIS IS AWKWARD!

- YIKES… THATS GOTTA HURT!

- OH… ER… DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD…?

- THATS FOR ALMOST GETTING ME KILLED…. AND THATS FOR SAVING MY LIFE.

- NOW, IF I WAS A BORROWER… WHERE WOULD I HIDE…?

- GUYS… WE’VE GOT COMPANY!

"You are going somewhere else until you learn to be less of an ass." Their teeth split open right in front of your face, warm breath washing over you like a gust of wind. The back of their throat glowed a gentle red, almost like a preview to what awaited you deeper down. They brought you closer, and carefully grabbed an arm between two massive teeth. They ran their tongue across your palm, teeth clamped around your forearm. It was light enough not to hurt you, but with enough pressure behind it to tell you they were being serious.

Their mouth opened again and you were shoved against their tongue, teeth snapping shut behind you. They wasted no time pressing you against the roof of their mouth, tongue running across your back. Normally they would savor you just slightly, or even toy with you, but not tonight. They tilted their head back, causing you to slide downwards. You were swallowed effortlessly into the glowing tunnel, a soft 'glk' echoing around you. You were pulled downwards, the illumination growing just a bit brighter, but not enough to hurt your eyes.

you want variety? insects represent 40% of all living species. have a cuddly isopod pred or a scary praying mantis, ur choice

having an exoskeleton means their insides are extra squishy! maybe!

(and you feel extra protected inside :) )

crazy anatomy. extra arms, extra legs, the stomach is always in some wacky location

there is something sobering about the idea of being inside a creature most humans consider the lowest of the animal kingdom, literal “pests”. what does it say about your own worth, to find comfort and fear in one of the lowest rungs of existence? what does an ant’s heartbeat sound like? what does-

Borrower stories where the human isn't just your everyday citizen.

Borrowers who realize they're living with a particularly dangerous psychopath, a spy, some mystical being they didn't realize existed, a mad scientist, ANYTHING.

I want the borower to feel like the normal being compared to whatever frick frack is going on with the human.

I want it to be incredibly weird when they meet.

Like both of them catching the other in the act of something they definitely weren't supposed to see. Both of them being utterly baffled by one another.

Forget the single sided "human realized borrowers exist"

I want a duel sided ball drop moment.

A killer caught in the act by a borrower-

An alien taking off their disguise and just hearing a tiny scream from under the furniture

A spy catching a tiny being rummaging through very confidential documents and immediately thinking this is some wildly advance spy tech

A scientist finding a tiny being staring in horror at the experiments locked up in their lab

A vampire getting caught drinking blood by a curiously tiny lil human
