tiny cowboys, an appreciation.
"If I had a nickel for everytime a tiny cowboy appeared in g/t media, I'd have two. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice, no?"
I think there is something inherently wholesome about a character that is traditionally seen as a symbol of strength, toughness, or masculinity; subverted in a character that at least physically they're very vulnerable and prone to be underestimated or just overall not taken seriously.
What I find most fascinating about these two characters is the fact that besides the whole cowboy esque thing, and the whole bravado, both of them are also incredibly emotional and choose to hide what would make them appear even 'weaker'.
They just can't afford having their size used as a weapon against them, they have to try and show everyone else that they still own the place.
I think that's why I'm extremely normal about tiny cowboys lol (...and specifically these two extremely niche characters). I think the fact of getting them to open up about their feelings, and not resent their size brings out something sweet and tender about trust and validation. Even considering the g/t fluff aspect, the whole cowboy thing brings a nostalgic feeling that adds up to the size and forms the 'this character does not really belong to this place or time period, so it will be misunderstood' vibe.
Do you also have an extremely niche g/t interest like this one?
