Adding onto that, assuming every giant is gonna have lovely coffee/minty breath. Breaths ruffling the tiny’s hair, etc, I love it, but morning breath from a giant would SUCK. Same thing with drool, I think it’s endearing if a giant drools a bit on their tiny while asleep and the tiny just takes it because they love them so much, but drool doesn’t SMELL good. The physical sensation is probably way less easy to pass off as cute, too.

The possibility that a giant has cracked lips?? That not every kiss is going to be plush and soft and gentle? I hate that one but I think about it every once in a while.

The feeling of fingerprints and the grooves of the hand, hands in general. Skin barriers are way thicker from the perspective of a tiny so a hand would probably be more dense/rough than soft and squishy from most giants.

The creepy-crawly feeling that holding a tiny would come with. If you’ve ever held a bird or chicken or even a little cat etc, you’d know that the heartbeat of a tiny little creature is a tactile jump scare, they’re so fast and the pulse/breathing can be felt EVERYWHERE in the body, but clearly more prominent in their core and it just gives you the squirmies for sure. I almost dropped a chick when I held one for the first time, it freaked me out that much.

Tiny limbs. Little fingers and legs and arms all over you when you’re not anticipating it, that’s got to be terrifying. I understand the tiny-phobic giants and find it SO funny when writers consider them. You’d get used to it eventually, but at first it’s sensory overwhelm for sure. You ALWAYS feel like they’re about to fall if they move, but somehow they don’t.

Sitting on a giant’s head ratatouille style. Unless they’ve just showered, the oil?? You’d be greasy after five minutes tangled up there.

Just how big and broad a giant’s chest is and how difficult it would be to actually crawl across it. Deep breathing, lungs contracting and expanding, a tiny probably wouldn’t be able to stand up at all. It’s like being on those unreasonably big bouncy castles/being on a trampoline while everyone else is still jumping on it but you’re knocked over. That level of helplessness and exhilaration except you’re not in any danger. You just literally can’t stand up, you HAVE to crawl.

A tiny being carried for the first time has a 99% chance of throwing up. All those shifts in gravity, the giant probably isn’t walking at a constant speed so the tiny is going to be jostled back and forth in their palm, launched forward when the giant pauses etc. Hanging onto fingers is a must if you wanna sit up right.

Depending on how tiny a tiny is, shoulders are difficult modes of transportation. Like, we’ve got to have a shirt or hoodie collar for support, or at least be hanging on to the neck. I see that a lot, which I love, but sometimes I see one-inch tall tinies just sitting on a shoulder and I’m taken out of it because there’s no way they aren’t falling. Unless they’re a fairy, maybe! Wing support as a safety net.

Being carried around in a backpack sounds like a literal nightmare. Like, terrifying. Not being able to see and not knowing what else is inside the backpack with them? Shivers.

Just how uncomfortable fabric in general would be for a tiny. Cotton would be thick, stitches are amplified so it would be like being rubbed up against a crochet piece in their perspective, which can get annoying after a while. And don’t even get me STARTED on denim. Putting a tiny in a denim pocket has got to be abrasive for that little layer of skin.

Climbing up a giant arm/leg would be daunting because of the height, yes, but also that added constant heartbeat. You’re climbing a mountain but the mountain has a pulse in every direction, you feel like you’re about to fall constantly.

Giants with STUBBLE! I know a lot of g/t authors who have addressed this (you know who you are and ily), but snuggling up against a face that hasn’t been clean shaven isn’t just going to tickle, it’s going to HURT. Probably leaves little scratches and redness on the tiny after, doesn’t matter that they’re having a good time. This gives opportunity for tinies to get super excited when their giant has just freshly shaved and I loveeeeee it.

Giants with nervous habits like bouncing their leg, drumming their fingers. Constant sensory overload for a tiny who’s just trying to sit at their desk or on their knee/thigh.
