“Are those military planes? They look like flies compared to her…”

“Why doesn’t she just swat them?”

“Didn’t you hear…? She’s on their side now.”

I said I was gonna write the interactions so here we go!

(Jack and Noi) @yippeesizedifgohard

Noi was waiting for Lani to return. He decided to go for a walk, Lani would probably understand. He found a nice tree to rest for a moment. Just for a moment. He just fell asleep, for…for he didn’t know how long. He awoke with an unsettled feeling. 

(Like ten minutes earlier)

Jack had never seen someone so large, even Edmund would be small compared to the huge man in front of Jack. He could tell that the giant was asleep, like a sleeping mountain. He was supposed to return to Roger…but…he wanted to feel that adrenaline rush. Maybe if he climbed this giant, he wouldn’t notice. Jack would be like a little bug to that giant, he’d be fine. He made his way forward, raising his arms up to the giant’s pants. He gripped onto the fabric and hoisted himself up, going higher and higher. What was really gonna be fun would be to climb the giant’s torso, so Jack needed to be atop the leg to get there quicker. 

It was a wobbly surface, but Jack ran forward. Adrenaline was now coursing through his body. This was one of the best climbs he had ever done! He hooked his fingers into the giant’s shirt thing…a sweater vest. He could even hook his feet into the fabric, he climbed up and up and up. He could hear and feel the giant’s heartbeat and breathing. It was loud and slightly eerie, a bass thumping. Suddenly, the rhythmic breathing, a sign of sleep, stopped. Jack froze. He was climbing a stranger! The stranger was waking up, Jack was going to be in a lot of trouble.

Noi rubbed his eyes. He couldn’t shake that feeling. He looked around. Nobody was there. He looked down and his eyes landed on a moving, small figure. He held his breath, it must’ve been a human. They were climbing him. Noi was suddenly reminded of Jay and the first time he’d met him. If Noi had a gold piece every time he met someone and they climbed him he’d have two gold pieces. It’s not a lot, but still a weird amount of times.

“Hullo?” The giant’s voice rumbled below Jack. He froze, he was definitely in so much trouble. This giant would probably be mean and evil and bad and…Jack could feel his own heart beat over the giant’s. Fear paced through his mind. Jack wished Roger was here. Or Mabel even, he just could use a familiar face. Why did he make the decision to climb a stranger?

“Hello? Human?” The giant spoke again, his voice was surprisingly not very loud. Even though Jack was so close. It still did startle him though. 

“Don’t hurt me!” Jack blurted. He didn’t know if he could trust this giant…yet. 

“I won’t. Don’t worry.” The giant’s hands moved up, by his shoulders. “I have two questions for you,” Jack braced himself, “Number one, who are you?”

“Jack. My name is Jack.” He was hesitant to give his name, but did regardless.

“Okay. I’m Noi. And, uh, number two, why are you climbing me?” 

“Uhhhhhhhh…” Jack’s only reason was because he liked to climb. But it really was a bad thing to do, he supposed, climbing a random person. He felt guilt well in his chest.“I like to. I’m very sorry though! I didn’t think much about it before I did! I’m sorry if it was weird!”

Noi put his hands over his ears with the human’s, Jack’s, apologizing. Why were humans so loud?! And insistent that they must yell so Noi could hear them. He didn’t mean to make Jack feel the need to apologize though. He didn’t really mind being climbed, but he would like to be asked first (okay, maybe except Lani).

“Relax, you don’t need to apologize. I don’t mind it. My girlfriend’s best friend climbed up me once. Hmm…actually, my girlfriend climbed up my arm before. The point is, it’s fine. Also, if you could quiet down a bit that would be nice.” Noi rubbed the back of his neck, a weird, sheepish smile appearing on his face.

“Oh, uh, sorry.” Jack seemed to be looking down.

“It’s fine.” Noi put his hands up. “Don’t worry. I just have sensitive ears.”

“Oh.” Jack stared up at the giant, Noi. A giant with sensitive ears…okay. Jack wasn’t gonna question it. Giants, even ones so abnormally large, were people. Jack still felt like he needed to apologize though. He didn’t want this giant to be mad at him.

“Uh, how old are you?” The giant’s voice dragged Jack from his thoughts. 

“Oh, uh, fourteen (I think that’s what was said).” Jack muttered. 

“Uh, where are your parents or guardians?" Noi was worried, Jack wasn’t that young, but he still should have an adult with him. Noi knew what it was like to lose his parents so he couldn’t say much. He also knew that there were humans up here who lived at the far edge of the woods, with his most previous conversation with Matt. A very crazy conversation.

“Well, hmm, I’m kinda lost right now, but it’s okay.” Jack paused for a moment, feeling the heartbeat below him. It had sped up a bit. “Uh, well, hmm, my guardians should be here…up here. My…Roger is a giant, but he’s not nearly as big as you. He’s, like, way smaller.”

“Oh?” Noi furrowed his brow. Smaller giants? Noi was tall, but…

“Uh, do you mind if I finish climbing you?” Ah yes, another normal question from someone climbing Noi, but Noi didn’t really care. 

“It’s fine. Do you want me to stand or stay sitting-?”

“Sitting! Stay sitting! I don’t want to fall. I’m a good climber, but you’re, like, really big.” 

“Okay.” The giant shifted, Jack gripped the fabric of Noi’s sweater vest, leaning closer to the giant. He suddenly leaned very far away from the giant, Noi was still a stranger. Jack felt very unstable so far away from the surface he was climbing. Jack felt so awkward at the moment. 

“You okay?” The giant, Noi, spoke. Jack looked up, the giant’s head was looming above. There was the slightest bit of hair on his chin, it was orange, just like his head-hair. “Yeah. Mhm, I’m good.” Jack then stared forward. He wanted to look anywhere but Noi, but he couldn’t. The adrenaline from before was long gone.

“Don’t, uh, don’t fall.” Noi was a little worried, so he put his hand below the human. Jack was almost to his sternum. Noi gave Jack a thumbs up with his other hand.“You got it.”

(Younger Jackson and Oliver) @wildlegacy

“Do I even want to know?” Oliver tapped his foot and stared up at the supposed human boy in front of him. 

“How did I get here?! Who are you?! Where’s my mama?!” Oliver covered his ears, why was this kid so loud? 

“I’m Oliver.” Oliver muttered. “You can call me Ollie.”

“Why are you so small?!”

“My ears, quiet down dude!” Ollie yelled up at the giant of a boy. To be fair, he was smaller than Jasper. 

“Oh, sorry. Am I like my mama now?!” The boy gasped. “I can get meatsticks now! But my mama’s gone…that’s not good.”

“What’s your name?” Oliver put his hands on his hips. 

“Jackson! Do you know where I could get meatsticks?! Mama doesn’t get me them.” Jackson, okay, the ‘human’ had a name. “My mama is a goliath though, so she had to do bad work, she won’t let me come with her. I think I could be stronger though.”

“What the heck is a goliath?!” Oliver had become confused. Was that a job? Because the kid had mentioned a job. 

“My mama!” Jackson grinned, he seemed so proud. “I’m small to her, but you’re smaller than I am to her. Do you think I am an actual goliath now?! I’m like Mama!”

“Jackson! Quiet down, I’m smaller than you! My ears hurt easier than yours!” Oliver sighed, his hands returning to his ears. He sucked in a breath. “Y’know, Jasper probably has meatsticks or something.”

“Meatsticks!?!” A twinkle of joy appeared in Jackson’s eyes. Oliver laughed out loud. The younger boy seemed so excited for something like a meastick. Okay, but seriously, where were his parents? His ‘mama’ specifically. How he got here was still a mystery too. 

Jasper would probably be his best bet to figure anything out.

“JASPER?!” Ollie called into the rest of the house. “COME HERE!”

Oliver sighed as he heard Jasper’s footsteps coming closer.

“Oliver?” Jasper appeared in the room. “You’re actually talking to me?!”

“Shut up.” Oliver looked at Jackson. “Two things-”

“Why is there a kid in my house?” Jasper shoved his hands into his pocket. Jasper was actually a good caretaker of children, so it probably wasn’t a big deal. 

“Jasper, this is Jackson, Jackson, this is Jasper. Now, back to what I was saying-”

“Wait…I’m not a goliath?!” Jackson frowned.

“No, you’re human…sized.(?!)” Oliver tugged at his hair. He hated being the only small person in a room of giants. Humans moreso. Wait…were either of the people there human? Know what, Oliver wasn’t gonna think about it. “Now, as I was saying!” He eyed the two giants to make sure they wouldn’t interrupt. “I have two things to say, Jasper?”

“Hmm?” Jasper walked closer, Oliver eyed him. He’d forgiven him, but he was still wary. 

“Do you have any sort of meatsticks?”

“Uh, yeah, why?” Jasper raised his eyebrows. Oliver smiled.

“Yeah, so-”

“Meatsticks?!” Jackson grinned from ear to ear once more.

“There’s your answer. Now, number two, do you have any idea how he got here?”

“Me? You think I know?”

“I don’t know! You’re, like, more magicky and stuff!” Oliver threw his hands up in exasperation. “We can babysit him for now.”

“I want a meatstick! Can I have a meatstick now?!” Jackson was still too loud for Ollie’s liking.

And so they gave him a meatstick.

(Elio, you’re doing fingerguns and nobody can stop me.)

Growth Spurt

(Lemme crash this beautiful day with some scrumptious PARENTAL G/T ANGST! I've been meaning to write this so here we are. Writing Wednesday waits for no one? Nuh uh... I don't wait for Writing Wednesday.)

Welp… none of us were anticipating Jackson’s first growth spurt- except for Lorelai, of course. But that didn’t make it less terrifying.

Lorelai was rocking the child in the palm of her hand, gently whispering to him. “It’s okay, baby…” She said breathlessly. “You- you’re gonna be okay…”

She was mostly talking to herself.

MY BABY…  Lorelai thought, her mind racing, MY BABY’S GONNA DIEEE… 

Jackson trembled, fragile whimpers slipping from his lips. His arm was longer and wider than the other, completely out of proportion. It stung like an angry blaze underneath his skin, and worse… the arm was still growing.

He was just playing with rocks. Banging and clashing tiny pebbles like it was a wrestling match. Lorelai had been hovering overhead, guessing which one would win. But the moment that he got too excited, his body began to change.

The game ended before either rock could claim victory.

This never happened before… Lorelai thought to herself, trying to take deep breaths. I- I didn’t want this to happen.

She wiped a tiny tear off his cheek.

I don’t want him to be like me.

Lorelai stood 100ft tall, yet this small, human-sized boy brought her to her knees. She lowered herself to the grass, swaying his body with the flow of the wind. Lorelai’s mind spiraled back to the time she spent trapped inside the Goliath Program facility. The exact same man who made her a giant called her a monster, and the nation echoed his words.

That name- monster- had been ingrained in her head.

And Jackson’s small growth spurt seemed like a sign he was following in her massive footsteps. That he would become just like Lorelai.

“Calm down, baby…” Lorelai said softly, hoping he’d listen. Jackson glanced at her massive face, but his eyes drifted back to his arm. “AHHH!!!” He let out another yelp, bursting into tears. “Mama goes through this too, okay?” She blurted out.

Jackson screamed through the pain, yet his eyes found her again.

“When Mama’s emotions get out of control, she grows. But if she calms down, the growing stops.” Lorelai hesitated before saying another word. I- I can’t even shrink back down… but what about him?

“Can you breathe in deeply… for Mama?”

Jackson croaked, his throat aching from shouts.

He wanted to make his mother proud, but she seemed worried. So he took a big, deep breath- which made him look like a pufferfish. “There ya go.” Lorelai nodded, showing her approval.

The longer Jackson held his breath, the slower his arm seemed to grow. Lorelai noticed this, and a wave of relief washed over her. “Okay, let it all out.” She told him, and Jackson blew out the air dramatically. A tired expression drooped over his face as his arm retracted.

The air drifted from Lorelai’s lungs.

It's working…

“Alright, let’s do another deep breath.” 

A few breaths later, Jackson’s arm had shrunken back to normal. He didn’t even notice until she told him. “Well, would you look at that?” She pointed to his arm. Jackson followed her finger, and his eyes grew wide. “It’s small again!” He gasped, holding it with his hand.

“Are you alright?” Lorelai asked, regardless of his arm’s current size. “Does it hurt?”

Jackson thought to himself for a moment. “A bit…” He muttered before saying something else. “Does this mean I can get big like you now?” His eyes glittered.

Now it was Lorelai’s turn to go silent.

“M-Mama?”

She quietly raised Jackson up to her face, planting a gentle kiss on his head. She held him to her lips a little longer than usual.

“You grow up too fast, Jackson.” She shuddered. “Just stay my little boy forever, would you?”

The Nest

(Dollops of parental g/t FLUFF and ANGST! Dedicated to @chaosofoximodius, hopefully this cheers you up, dude. Good luck with Noi's Beanstalk)

She gently lowered him into the nest. It was filled with fluffy, deep layers of dried grass and soft pine needles. When Jackson slipped inside, his body submerged into the comfy bedding. When his head popped up, Lorelai noticed a few grass blades were caught in his hair. Jackson quickly scampered along the bedding, heading over to one of the corners. 

It was there that a fuzzy animal hide had been placed, alongside many others, in the nest. Jackson grabbed the hide and wrapped it around his body, a big smile on his face.

Alright… he’s safe. Lorelai chuckled, gently nudging grass out of his hair with a precise fingertip.

The sun hung over their massive haven. The nest was on a huge cliff, towering high above the forest floor. The only way up or down this steep mountain was its sloped backside, which was covered with trees and brush.

The nest’s unbelievably high walls were woven out of full-length trees and secured with scavenged moss. 80ft of tree bark stood between the cold Montana winds and Lorelai’s baby boy. Only the birds had any real chance of invading their giant fortress.

If only Jackson could stop climbing out of the nest.

I don’t get it… even humans wouldn’t try to climb this thing. Lorelai thought over all the times Jackson managed to reach the top. Could it be his strength, supporting his arms long enough for him to hang on? Or maybe his stamina, not letting him get tired?

Lorelai lifted her finger and raised it to her chin. Maybe I should make the walls higher-

“Weh!” Jackson whimpered, a grappy hand reaching for his mother’s finger. He didn’t like her gentle strokes being abruptly taken away. “Oh, erm…” Lorelai mumbled. “Jackson, you gotta stay here. I have to go do Border Patrol.” Jackson’s eyes widened. “Can I go with you?”

Lorelai went quiet for a moment.

“Trust me, baby… You don’t wanna go on Border Patrol,” she whispered. “But I wanna protect us from trespassers!” Jackson said. “I wanna be big and strong, like you!” A frown curled on Lorelai’s face.

Border Patrol was nothing to be proud of.

His clothes came from the dump or donation bin raids. A fresh elk was brought back when Lorelai had a successful hunt. But Jackson hadn’t asked where the tools and meatsticks came from. He was too young to understand that unfortunate encounters sometimes became supplies. 

Lorelai longed to protect that innocence for as long as she could. However, Jackson wouldn’t take no for an answer. 

Wiggling out of the hide and gripping onto the sturdy bark, Jackson began to climb out of the nest- again. A slight chuckle left Lorelai. “Where do you think you’re going?” She gently used two fingers to lift him back into the nest.

“Please?” Jackson begged as she set him down. Lorelai shook her head. “I’ll be back before you know it.” She gave Jackson a brief smile, then began to walk down the cliff.

“CAN YOU AT LEAST BRING A MEATSTICK BACK?” Jackson shouted from the nest’s huge walls. Lorelai froze, her gaze drifting off into the distance.

“Maybe…” Her gigantic voice sounded like rolling thunder.

But hopefully not.
