Sawyer was yelling too much, Colfax had to muffle all the noise. This... is mostly Sawyer's own fault lol

11 13 and 15 for Giant!Colfax and Giant!Adrian

( Ask game here )

What’s the worst experience your character has ever had with someone of a different size. (Or the best?)

Giant!Colfax's worst experience with humans was probably the second time he saw Adrian. Because Adrian brought other humans with him, and hadn't been scared off from never ever returning to these woods ever again. That was unsettling and very upsetting to Colfax, who tries his best to make it so no one ever wants to come back and bring people to gawk at him.

Giant!Adrian's worst experience with humans is his ongoing captivity by them, sadly. He really misses being able to roam freely, and he doesn't fully understand why these humans would want to capture a giant like him.

Is there something thats too big/small for your character to use/do that they wish they could?

Colfax would probably not mind being able to use some more sophisticated animal traps. His are pretty basic. Alternatively, he'd love to be able to build a fence that humans would actually respect to keep the little interlopers out of his business.

Adrian is pretty enamored of most human stuff. He wants to hold it and fiddle with it, see if he can figure out how it works without being told. A human thing he'd appreciate the most, once he discovers such a thing exists, is a pencil with an eraser on it. He'd love to be able to actually use one, but they're like splinters to him.

After meeting someone of a different size, how has your character’s opinion on giants/tinies changed?

Colfax took a long time to warm up to any humans. But the effort of Adrian (and Sawyer and, to a much smaller and more timid degree, Charlie) eventually wore him down to feeling rather protective of them. They're little, like all humans are. They need to be looked after when they're out here in the wilderness.

Adrian, after being captured, thought he'd badly misjudged humans in general. They seem so tiny and cute, bustling about their lives in their little towns and things, he never imagined they could be this mean to anybody.

His assumptions were corrected again when he met Sawyer though. Sawyer's nice to him, and answers his questions without making him feel stupid, and is little and cute like humans ought to be.

A Big Not Friendly Giant comic, since I seem to be on a roll with Trust shenanigans. Sawyer has things to say! Colfax needs to listen! Colfax is definitely asleep, bud.

Regarding the Big Not Friendly Giant AU (the other question will be answered in a separate post to keep things organized), there’s plenty of headcanons! Here’s a few of the ones I have:

Colfax is much much better with animals than he is with people. That does set the bar pretty low, but he can actually coax deer and things close enough to pet them. Foxes are his little buddies.

He kidnaps humans that wander too close and brings them back to his living area to make a show of keeping them prisoner, but always lets them escape when he thinks the lesson is learned.

Crows try to steal his food like flies and that’s so annoying to him but he doesn’t really know what to do about them.

He likes the solitary life, but sometimes it is frustrating. At the rare times he feels the need to rant about something, he mutters at the trees to feel better.

He found his current residence by accident and likes it too much to try to get un-lost.

He’s just as ticklish as any other version of Colfax. Giant!Colfax just doesn’t know that.

Giant Colfax - didn't your mother teach you manners? Don't pick on the little guys!

She probably tried.

Really, the ‘little guys’ shouldn’t be intruding, anyway. It’s my space. I pick on them to make a point.

From @neonthebright:

Oh, goodness, I don’t think we ever even thought about this! Felicia is usually human, so I think she’d still be a human in those AUs. She’d definitely annoy the crap out of Colfax because she just doesn’t shut up about these fairies that he knows nothing about. Really, woman, just leave the poor man alone.

From @creatorofuniverses:

Let’s just throw Felicia at everything, why not. That’s what we do all the time always. XD It would make things extra ridiculous. With her being the same size or smaller than everybody else I can’t see her doing too much damage. Mostly she’d probably just be aggravating, maybe even moreso to the humans. For giant!Sawyer, at least, he’d just quietly dislike her. Unless, of course, she upset any of his human friends. Then he’d dump her in the next county over. XD

Adrian Meets Colfax (3/?)

Big Not Friendly Giant AU featuring giant!Colfax

His arms were pinned to his chest in the snug grip. Adrian’s legs hung free from the bottom of the enormous hand, and he couldn’t stop the panicked kicking as he soared up into the air. Adrian thrashed in the hand even after it was well above a survivable height for a fall. The giant lifted him up to eye level, over seventy feet in the air.

Adrian’s eyes were out of focus as he looked at the billboard-sized face in front of him. The giant said nothing, merely frowned in distaste at him. Adrian had no idea what that meant for him, and the thought terrified him even more. He sucked in a few choppy breaths and sobbed. He was up so high.

He expected the giant to scold him again. To say something before, perhaps, doing away with the intruder in his territory. But the giant said nothing. He merely stared for a few seconds more before breaking eye contact first.

The giant turned and started walking, every step crashing to the ground far below. Adrian’s eyes were wide and wind whipped his blond hair into a mess while he continued to struggle. He managed to wrench one of his arms free, which he immediately used to try to grip the knuckle of the hand in front of him.

Willingly touching such a giant hand was definitely not something he’d ever expect himself to do. But he was already engulfed in physical contact. This was a matter of feeling secure while he was several stories up and a freaking giant was carrying him off to who knew where.

“P-please,” he managed to force out, his eyes pleading on the face that now ignored him. “Please put me down,” he begged, tears welling in his eyes. He was amazed he hadn’t yet died of a heart attack.

The giant hummed in response. That was all Adrian got. A noncommittal “Hmm” to show that his voice had been heard. But no moves were made to lower him to the ground. The giant had made a point of telling him that his voice was heard, but not followed. Any further questions shouted at the giant went ignored entirely.

He was helpless.

Adrian shuddered more and the tears slipped down his face as the giant walked for what seemed like miles, though to someone so big it was easy to do that. The trees got taller as he ventured deeper into the hills, some of the old oaks reaching closer to the giant’s height before finally overtaking it. Adrian had disappeared with his enormous captor into the backwoods somewhere, with no idea where he was.

The stupid rumors had turned out to be more true than anyone could imagine. Adrian wished people put more work into making them scary. It might have prepared him for this, or in fact made him decide against it like he wished he had.

At length, the giant entered a clearing. It was picturesque, with an overflowing stream nearby and a rock formation that was big enough to just barely house the gigantic man that held Adrian in his hand. It was just the kind of place Adrian might have liked to find on his little walk into the woods, if it hadn’t taken a turn for the terrifying.

He looked around a little more while the giant made his way to the center of the clearing. And then, Adrian’s stomach lurched up into his throat and it felt like he was falling for a second as the giant sat down cross legged, flattening the tall grass.

Adrian was finally lowered to the ground, and the hand opened abruptly around him. Adrian fell in a heap into the grass, nearly disappearing among the stalks for a second before he pushed himself up to a hasty stand, his neck craned back to keep the giant face in his sights. That condescending look was still fixed on his shaking form.

“Wh-what do you want?”

Adrian Meets Colfax (2/?)

Big Not Friendly Giant AU featuring giant!Colfax

Adrian’s heart pounded in his chest and his breathing came fast and heavy, yet it didn’t feel like either was powering his body. The only thing he felt assured of was the adrenaline coursing through every vein, lending him a modicum of speed in the path of the immense giant.

A shadow slipped over him. The giant was gaining. Adrian heard the gale of wind that was a simple breath of air to the dark-eyed giant. The lungs working to push air in and out were probably bigger than his dorm room, and they weren’t laboring at all. Adrian was fighting for enough breath in his panicked scramble, but the giant certainly didn’t need to worry.

He was the one in control here, as he’d probably already decided before telling Adrian he should leave.

Adrian looked over his shoulder and a cry flew loose from his lips. He tripped and pitched forward, barely catching himself with his hands before tumbling over. He looked behind himself again, frantic terror adorning his pale face. A giant hand was approaching him.

Adrian hated touch. He abhorred the feeling that it gave him, like pins and needles that persisted and bothered him long after the touch was gone. It was part of what made the first week of classes so stressful. He was in a new environment among people who didn’t understand his phobia yet.

The hand coming for him didn’t look like it’d offer him a jovial, friendly-but-unwanted pat on the back like some of his classmates had given him. The outstretched fingers were almost as long as his body, and far more powerful. Adrian could see every detail in every fingerprint on the hand as it approached, its radiated heat preceding it.

That was way more physical contact than Adrian wanted with anyone, ever. He was already shuddering when the wide palm eclipsed almost everything from view. Adrian tried to scramble back, to push himself on his hands, but it was too late.

The fingers curled around him like a cage, slowing down as the giant seemed to know he’d won. Adrian ducked his head and covered his face with his hands, but not being able to see them didn’t stop the slow advance. He could smell the dirt that stuck to the hand, feel the body heat coming off of it.

When the pad of one of the fingertips brushed against his back, Adrian tried to flinch violently away. But there was no escape, and he let out a choked, fearful noise as the fingers closed around him and pinned him hopelessly to the giant’s enormous palm. His body began to shiver from head to toe immediately, and Adrian left the ground behind.
