pet peeve of the day aka me being a bitch real quick,

it annoys me sm how whenever g/t related stuff like shrinking rays or giants or whatever show up in mainstream media theres always people complaining "well that doesn't make any sense, it wouldnt be scientifically possible". bc no shit, its a fantastical element so its very existence in a piece of media suggests the media is including fantastical elements and thus not rooting itself firmly in real world science.

I stg i see it EVERY time (when antman entered the mcu, about every old timey giant monster movie, most recently about The Miniature Wife in facebook comment sections) and its also given sometimes as a reason to why there cant be more non comedy/kids media involving said size shenanigans "bc no one would take it seriously".

I feel like it has to be some form of media illiteracy bc a good chunk of the time itll be in a show that's already very clearly not rooting itself in real world science (like the MCU) and even when it isn't, again, its very existence in a story should automatically cue people in that perhaps the story isn't aiming for scientific realism. One doesn't sit down to watch a movie about vampires and go "yknow what the problem with this is? vampires don't exist in real life, this doesn't make any sense!" that'd be ridiculous to do.

side note: im all for a speculative "ooh would this be possible?" or "how could this be possible?" take like you see with superpowers or sci-fi tech, that is distinct in my mind from complaining about a piece being unrealistic bc it includes purposefully fantastical, unrealistic elements. I feel like it also sometimes has a vibe of "I Am Very Smart" in pointing out sci-fi (emphasis on the fi) happenings aren't possible as if no one else had considered that

my favorite thing to do is incorporate g/t into my life in small harmless ways.

like the giant thimble i have on my desk, or the claw clip i bought that looks like arrietty’s clip.

i have a ever growing collection of borrower coded trinkets and things, and i rlly recommend starting ur own. they bring me joy :)

i think something im really into with the small guy big guy sleeping together (in the latter's bed usually) situation is the bigger one waking up immediately when the smaller one moves even just a bit to make sure they're alright and still asleep..it's so sweet to be so alert and careful and worried..

How would Roy react if he lost Mollie in a crowd of humans?

And would he suggest that Mollie wear something to make it easier to find her?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Humans aren't too common on the big side but one place they can visit that i can think of being full of humans is maybe an art gallery of a group of famous artists?

Mixed Exhibitions have like a seperate path for humans as a long bridge –at a bit lower than giants' eye level– hung from the ceiling that tours around the room and passing in front of each painting. But who needs that when she can just stand on Roy's shoulder.

Let's say they get separated because both wanted to check out different things. If they're in the beginning-middle of their relationship Roy wouldn't really agree to get separated at all if the place is too busy with both races.

But let's imagine somehow they did anyway and beginning-Mollie just disappeared without saying anything because she saw something more interesting ahead (or on the ground) and it won't even take her a "minute".

The Roy we're talking about is inexperienced about this and around 10 years younger. If he ever lost her he'd do his best to look around but the humans would be just concentrated in like a long thick line so she'd be really easy to miss. He'd call her with his flip phone but there's a big possibility of mollie not hearing it as she mostly keeps it on silent mode at work and probably forgets to turn it off. He'd probably freak out since he's very good at overthinking the worst scenerios especially when it's about his loved ones.

He would just wait somewhere that makes him easier to get spotted and keeping an ear on his phone so he doesn't miss when/if she returns the call, then they'd reunite. Probably having a teeny tiny very smallest little argument about it afterwards.

In another scenerio maybe where it involves her getting down on the ground between giants –that makes him generally more nervous– current Roy would just let her be if she wanted to get separated since he's long ago accepted that Mollie can manage perfectly on her own and got better at letting him know. Yes, she still jumps at every opportunity to get her adrenaline but the "risk" she's seeking is nothing she believes she can't manage, and she has already passed the point where she thought asking for help even when she needed made her "weak". And now he believes If she thought it was safe to do something, then it was. So he knows she'd let him know if she didn't feel safe and trusts her judgement.

So if she got lost, having this happened a few times before he'd be chill except for the goosebumps. He'd keep calm and would just keep an ear on his phone just in case she needed anything and once he's done he'd wait for her at the meeting point they'd set before they separated. Maybe they'd get a colorful parasol so it could be easier to spot her from above, just in case. Maybe a tracker on both of them that they can freely turn on or off when needed, just for an emergencies like lost phones, them being lost/stuck somewhere ect.

Chapter 12: Reunion

While testing his new arm, carefully and lovingly crafted by his apprentices, Gustave can't help but think about their living conditions as Borrowers, and wish to give New Lumière a brighter future.

(Previous part) / (Next part)

Chapter 12 is here ! I hope you liked it ! I couldn't manage to finish it sooner, and the next one is probably gonna take me as much time as this one, because of real life stuff. I would really like to have a publishing schedule of one chapter/month, two at best. Thank you again for your enthusiasm and your patience !

I'm sorry I couldn't post much lately but recently I had this idea at school and decided to finish the sketches. I really miss them 💔

Guess who's the jar opener and who's the cryer

Random G/T Borrower idea I got while in music class like 2 weeks ago that I must share

A borrower living in a house that has no mouseholes or anything like that, luckily for them, the human has a guitar that they haven't used for years, so, they decide to live in that instead.

All hell breaks lose when the human gets a random motivation to try music again at 2 am.
