#gt rambles

which is cool but. GIVE ME SAPIENT GIANTS BEING TREATED GENTLY BY TINIES!!

I’m also saying this partially for myself…as somebody who has been ashamed and uncomfortable with this special interest for most of my life. I tried shoving it down, bottling it up, bullying myself out of liking it- but it didn’t work.

To make matters worse, I made the mistake of telling my old friend group about my interest in gt, and they made fun of me despite my expression of discomfort. (Teasing was a very important element in our group, and is still very influential to my humor- but I made it clear that this was not something I felt comfortable with being teased.) they constantly were poking at my insecurities that it might be perceived as sexual. Which…for me, no. It’s truly the OPPOSITE, It’s my main comfort tool.

But now, I’m out of that friend group. And have a lovely boyfriend who is fully supportive of it.

…he did accidentally stumble upon THAT side of the community when searching it, which I feared, but immediately understood that I was not apart of that. To my surprise lmfao. Guess that any kind of listening from anybody is fucking earth shattering to me after being in a 9-year long friend group that ignored and shamed me 💀

But he goes above and beyond, assuring me that it isn’t weird, and listening to my worries about it. Being so empathetic and sweet.

He tells me about gt fluff situations he thinks about, asks me questions about gt, and is even going draw us as gt.

LIKE WDYM THIS MAN WAS JUST RANDOMLY LIKE

‘It’d be cute if you could doodle on my nails.’ Or ‘man I wish you could just put you in my hoodie pocket and I’d have like…an emotional support tiny throughout my day.’

LIKE WHAT YES YOU MATCH THE FREAK

he doesn’t fully get it, but that’s okay. Because he understands to an extent why I enjoy it, and just cares about my interests.

Anyways. It’s like 1am. I just wanted to fawn over my partner and remind the community that you aren’t a weird, terrible person for liking g/t. So if the people you’re ‘close’ to make you ashamed of such a silly thing, they’re not right for you. And probably don’t have your best interest in mind- because it truthfully is not supposed to be that insane of a deal. There are people out there who will love you, and you deserve it! Trust me!

I sometimes still feel lonely, and even more so when i remember that out of everything my neurodivergent ass brain decided to cling onto ‘heh. Big small.’ As a FUNDAMENTAL PART OF MY MIND. But, that just makes me a little weird and unique! as corny as that sounds…but that’s okay.

I really like it when in gt scenarios in which the giant unintentionally mishandles the tiny, they dont do extreme damage like breaking their bones or anything, but small-barely noticeable to them- injuries.

One example of this could be when a giant is being playful with the tiny and they pinch the tinies limb between their pointer finger and thumb,,, maybe their fingernail accidentally catches or they squeeze too tight. Either way, the tiny would have corse feel a lot of pain from even just a small gesture like that. I mean just think about it, if you got your arm slammed in a door (albeit a caution one at that) you wouldn’t be able to just walk it off.

Tinies aren’t invincible, if anything they would be all the more fragile. So i think it’s important to show in gt how even small mishandling can cause our tiny friends pain. Small bruises from setting them down too roughly, maybe pushing them too hard in a tickle fight, or even hugging them slightly too tightly could do serious damage. Even though they may not show the giant this distress, they still feel pain, it’s always important to show the true fragility of tinies.

Hear me out:

Tinies gently bopping the nose of their giant

Tinies making little braids in the giant's hair

Giants watching the tiny work on something tiny in amazement because they never could work on something that small with their hands

Tinies using phones as some sort of smartbord

Tinies tracing the ridges of the giant's fingerprints, following its pattern

I'm sure there's a bunch of more things out there, but that's what I could think of from the top of my head.
