To hold or to be held

Name's Magic Bean, and english is not my best language! I like G/T, insects (especially butterflies, moths and bees), and kaijus. I write short G/T sorties sometimes. The girl in my header is me like 6 years ago or something. I miss that giant hand dearly.

An Introduction To G/t

Hello! I’ve seen some people be pretty confused about what g/t is and a lot of gross miscommunication regarding it at times, so I figured I should make a post to clear things up and explain it for anyone who just randomly stumbled across it!

G/t is short for Giant/tiny, and is a term for any sort of character dynamic revolving around the idea of two characters with different sizes interacting. For example, The Borrowers or the Lilliput section of Gulliver’s Travels.

The appeal is mainly that it’s cute. Having a tiny friend standing on your shoulder or riding in your pocket just plain sounds cute, so it’s something we focus on in the content we write or draw.

At the same time, some people (myself included) look at it as a way to cope with things. I like the idea of being able to hold someone small and keep them safe because in reality, I often feel like I can’t protect the people I care about and I want to be able to do more for them. I focus on this idea because it just feels comforting, imagining being able to carry my friends around, keep them safe, scare off anyone who wants to hurt them… it’s vicarious, but in a way it’s calming, imagining being able to help someone like that.

Most people who view it as a coping mechanism generally have a reversed perspective, wishing they had someone there to protect them and carry them above any danger.

I’m assuming you’ve probably seen people fetishizing the same concept, and yes, some people have a more sexual perspective of g/t. We call that macro/micro, short for macrophilia/microphilia, and generally consider it to be somewhat distanced from g/t. One’s a character dynamic, the other’s a kink.

Unfortunately, some sites haven’t exactly gotten the memo about this, so on some you’ll still see macro/micro content being tagged as g/t. Tumblr seems to be the main site that sticks to the rule of “#g/t for SFW, #macro/micro for NSFW”, so in my experience it’s been the best for finding good g/t content.

You can look through my posts if you want a better idea of what g/t is, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions about it!

Because of Giku's Mini Gustave AU on X, I decided to listen to the voices in my head and make an Arrietty/Expedition 33 AU. So yeah, it exists, do what you want with it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

not enough people get the whole point of why transformer x human relationships are so appealing. the thing is, i want to feel small when compared to my partner. it doesn't matter how tall or buff or tough you are. the moment you get lifted off the ground by a hand that can fit you in its palm, or get kissed along your whole torso by a robot whose head is bigger than you, you will feel tiny, and it'll be the best feeling in the world.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE OREOS???

Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.

This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.

Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.

The Electric State movie sucks but it DID open my eyes to the concept of a robot sizeshifter

People will talk about how adorable and cute tinies are all day but I never seem to hear about how cute giants are... It's just so cute to me. I've been thinking about sleepy giants whose yawns could inhale a cow. They have trouble finding a good spot to rest, they eventually lay down in a valley, propped up by a hill, their breathing creating a gentle breeze.... They'll cuddle their tiny and smile a smile wider than them and you can see all the little imperfections in their face, the tiny nuances in their expression so much bigger and more noticeable, and when a giant makes a soft noise of contentment that gently rumbles the earth, a calm and happy sigh that blows a few leaves off the nearby tree ... It's the cutest shit ever to me, like all their cuteness makes such an impact. idk why people sleep on how adorable giants are

Copper planet natives

"Don't get close to the natives of this planet. They're unpredictable and violent"

You were warned, yet they were the one to save you, not just once nor twice, but every time you had been sent out alone for some arbitrary reason...

You have learned to trust it, it's behavior towards you is as if it sees you as an equal, unlike your peers who seem cold, distant, and inhumane towards the new planet your species calls "new home".

These giant beings with their beautiful red skin and glowing eyes are pacifists in nature, but only a handful know that. The language barrier seems to be no issue, as they rarely use their vocals. Instead, most is spoken with body language and very simple gestures. You and a very small handful of scientists have set up a base near one of the "villages," with the sole purpose of studying, learning, and communicating with these red giants.

You're pretty sure that your first companion, the one who saved you numerous times from danger, has taken a particular liking to you, a mutual fascination between both species, though you have a sneaking suspicion that they like you just a little more then a companion. You are the only one to notice this, and you keep it to yourself. If the others were to know, would you be removed from the project? Possibly. And you aren't keen to up and vanish on your new partner. You wouldn't be here without him.

First Encounters

[minim0t]

So I made another g/t blog…

[entomolog-t]

Jumping spiders (spiders of the family Salticidae ) represent a huge portion of spider diversity. As a family they are incredibly smart due to their active predatory nature, opting to hunt prey, rather than sit and wait for it in a web. These spiders have some wildly cool physiology, equipped with the incredible sight capabilities, and a really unique approach to their jumping (achieved primarily through hydraulics, rather than muscles). What is arguably the most intriguing is their intelligence, with experiments demonstrating evidence for active planning and forethought, as well aversion experiments demonstrating recognition. Their capabilities for learning are surprisingly good as well, with instances of them being taught to jump, and high five on command being documented in both a casual and scientific context. 

Given the fact that these bad boys ARE STRAIGHT UP THE CUTEST LIL GUYS paired with the fact they are pretty darn smart, you cannot tell me they would not make top tier pets for borrowers. Thus two new OCs were born Sal, a borrower who is (understandably) pretty afraid of humans, and Mark, a human who is terrified of spiders ( no matter how cute they may be). 

Oh, and Betty, Sal’s faithful and fearless spider companion. 

This comic took so long that my art improved from when I started it. RIP. Perspective is a PAIN.
