talking more g/t tropes I love!
I think one that I always come back to initially is the whole notion of scared/overwhelmed tiny seeing that the giant means no harm and then slowly trusting them enough to be in their presence. I love this especially for first encounters and worlds where size differences aren’t normally established because the giant comes to learn how to carry themselves based on the way the tiny reacts. The force of them even just crouching down or reaching out an open palm can seem absolutely terrifying to the tiny, so they need to be so so so conscious and careful.
NUZZLING IS SO FUCKING PEAK. I love the idea of normal means of physical affection being greatly emphasized/intensified in g/t, a hug becomes an all enveloping embrace for a tiny, a kiss is a full body experience, and nuzzling is just especially good. A tiny nuzzling into a giants finger or thumb while they sleep, or a giant nuzzling their nose or cheek on the tiny’s head, AUGH it’s just such a sweet gesture and I love it so much.
Maybe a little less of a trope and more of a story dynamic? IDK, but Pockets! Pockets are awesome! It’s a classic thing but the whole idea of the giant going about their with a tiny in their pocket, and the knowledge they’re there brings them ease and peace of mind. I also just like the whole bit of a giant gently petting them with their finger when they feel like it. On the tiny end I love that pockets are another thing that reinforces the way the giant can provide an all-encompassing comfort and safety to the tiny. I always imagine the feeling of being in a “nice” pocket to be like a deep, dark hammock thats warmed by the giants body heat, and gently rocks with the movement of their body. It’s just one of those things that really emphasizes how different things are between the giant and the tiny and it lends itself to so much comfort and fluff. Love.
