G/T Community Question: Do you think friends could get to a point they temporarily forget the difference between them?

Real life examples…. I have one particular friend who is insanely tall. Let’s say they are 6 inches taller than 6 feet.

When we are sitting down and having a good conversation, I’m just talking with them. I’m invested and involved with the topic and the person they are. Curious about their thoughts and feelings, wanting to express my own thoughts and feelings.

It’s only when we get up that I notice the difference. When we get out of a car, or stand up from our chairs. That’s when I remember that my eye level with them is not at eye level. Sometimes when they stand behind me, and I look up to see the bottom of their chin, I hear myself saying “wow, I forget how tall you are sometimes.”

I want to know what you think. Is it possible for a giant and a human, or a human and a borrower, could be so involved with their conversation or interactions that they temporarily forget the physical form of their friend? Only when the human walks away from the table they remember that their borrower friend has to climb down the table and sprint to catch up with them. Or when the human sitting in a tree watches the giant stand up and they have to crane their head waaaaaay back in order to catch a glimpse of their face. It’s that “oh yeah” moment.

What do you think?

If I were a borrower, living in the walls. I would sleep in a four post canopy bed. Instead of heavy drapes to keep me warm, the canopy would be made of sticky fly trap paper. I will sleep so much better knowing I am better protected from say a spider, or hornet, or other predators.

And if the fly paper does ensnare a threat, the canopy would obviously need to be changed. Thats what big tall human friends are for. 😄

Has Gorm encountered a human who is frozen from fear? Like the Fight, Flight, or Freeze response. If people have mostly been fighting or trying to flee, I get that they are scrambling and struggling. So when someone is frozen stiff, that’s got to be new and different to Gorm. Would it make him curious and want to inspect closer? Maybe hold them since they are still? Or is he not phased and something else moving catches his attention instead? Or is his vision motion based? If you’re still, you effectively disappear??

I don't think he's encountered a freeze response yet. People have fainted tho. But since it's a brief loss of consciousness only lasting for a few seconds (up to a minute or two), the person is good to panic/struggle after coming to. Gorm was very concerned for the first fainter however, thinking they just dropped dead. Now he believes it's a defense mechanism. Like animals that play dead, he thinks it's voluntary. xD;;

If someone just freezes, they're not reacting in a way he's used to so that's a cause for a closer look, he will pick them up with an arm. At first he'd think they were willing in the interaction. But if they remain frozen and non responsive (he can't really make out our small facial expressions and twitches after all) then he'd get more concerned. He can tell they're awake and not playing dead. He'd be very insistent on (gently) poking and flipping the person around. Are they injured somewhere? Are they playing? What if he holds them like this for a while? What is going on??

Gorm's vision is excellent, be it tracking movement or stationary things. Standing still will not cause him to loose you; once you catch his attention, you got it full stop. xD

I’m the Queen over Ramblinton.

I live in Tangent Castle.

To the north is Soap Box Speech City. Everyone has an opinion over there- thankfully they respect each other even if they disagree.

The West is the Shower Thoughts Mountains. Warning, That’s were a lot of Brain storms start to build up and grow.

The East is the monastery of Over Thinking, where the monks have taken the vow of silence… sadly they keep on breaking that vow and have to start over again.

Finally the south has the jabbering orchards and chattering farmlands divided by, you guessed it, a babbling brook.

Of course scattered about are venting villages and ranting towns.

Welcome to my kingdom!

LOL!!! Lmao, haaaaa I’m sorry guys. I know it’s not G/T but I had to share. I was talking with a friend and when they said that they sometimes ramble, I was going to say “I am the queen of rambling” but my overactive imagination went further. LMAO.

Hello! Thank you for dropping by. I have only one rule here, “Do No Harm”. Will it cause harm to any Person? Creature? Object? Place? Post? I want my blog to be a safe space for both you and I. Here we get to enjoy the niche fandom of Giant/Tiny. (I’m a Tiny, typically 4 inches)

There is No Judgment here. The beautiful thing about G/T is that whatever you obsess over can be applied to G/T. The fandom is as wonderfully diverse as the creative people in it. I currently have SFW stories, questions, silly posts, and stuff for mostly fluffy thoughts. I try my best to tag my stuff with #skmayor if that helps. Below are links to give you quick access to my personal postings. Much love G/T Community!

How do I tell the Giant? Poem and image

[muppenthings]

For Gorm the Octomer (I hope I’m saying that correctly). Could modern day tablets with LCD screens be used with positive and negative reinforcement to teach consent?

Using red and orange illuminated on a screen with the bitter spray…And using Blues and Greens with a tasty treat. With the eventual hope of better communication and understanding? Starting from the basics and work upwards??? Eventually establishing colors with facial expressions or body language?

When a human is flailing about that is like orange, orange is not good. It’s just, Gorm looks like such a curious sweetheart. I would want to help them gain understanding and be less confused by us silly land dwellers.

Using color would definitely aid in getting your point across faster. Mimicking his colors, the strong blue = yes, while the bright teal/greenish = no. Even if that's simplifying it, he'd get the idea. I imagine he'll learn vocal "Yes" and "No" quickly. In the beginning, "no" for him would mean to abort an action. For example what he's about to do, pick someone up. Making him hold back if told "no" is gonna be difficult. He can be quite impatient so there has to be a strong motivator to keep him from acting.

I imagine he'll learn to be more patient and ask for permission because he gets more rewarded if he behaves. Like they're not gonna turn on a light projector for him at night if he picks apart a truck during the day. xD

Gorm learned from handling the past humans how they sound when scared, happy etc. He's just so overcurious, coupled with impatient, that he can't help himself. Besides, he's not trying to hurt them, just having a look, so he reasons. He has many scars from poking around at things and handling scared humans armed with knives and swords. He could use some lessons in self-preservation too. :,)

The arms are just gonna grab unless bitter sprayed. They act upon a given task by the central brain, aka Gorm himself. There's no thought behind them, they just act on reflex in line with the given task! Of course, if Gorm's attention is called directly to the arm (through pain, it getting stuck or it tastes something foul) he can control it consciously. So even if Gorm learns to hold back, the arms will not. So you always have to be prepared.

skmayor asked: Oops, my bad. I thought green was an active color for Gorm. Now I’m recognizing it as a negative color. I’d be impressed if a scientist took the time to try and interact with the octomer. Learning what different colors and flashes mean.

No worries, I haven't written out what the different colors signal! Yeah bright teal/greenish ones signal strong emotions, often negative. Ranging from him being startled, fearful, upset or angry. The humans are definitely trying to decode his colors and patterns. Humans are a curious bunch too after all! But it is difficult! There's just so many subtle differences in hues and how they flash and flicker. And up close it's hard to see all of him while interacting so they'd have to look at recordings to get the bigger picture. Then there's the accompanying huffs, puffs and teeth clacking that he also uses in communication! :)
