Tinies having a much much lighter body. Moving around is much easier but also very complicated. Simple things just as walking and running can be very complicated because they have to be careful with their strength. But also super fast moving is also possible if required. They can move an arm so fast people see only a blur.

Plus side: you can ride them like a Yoshi! #workdoodles #dinosaur #squarecubelaw

tinies with high pitched voices

I can imagine that tinies and giants who have high pitched or very low pitched voices stop talking to humans because humans wouldn’t be able to understand them.

I think in that trope tinies and giants start to learn sign language auch as ASL

A lot of G/t folks would just talk via signing. Which I can imagine would be a great way to express yourself if they can’t otherwise.

There are so many possibilities.

If you don’t wanna read about scientific G/t tropes which involves the “squarecubelaw” “high pitched voice” “low pitched voice”.

I will take care to tag these posts with these tags, so you can filter them with tumblrs new filtering feature.

EDIT: Oh and if you wanna have more things tagged. Just tell me. Its totally okay. :)

death sword, here, is displaying an example of video games going 'square cube law? lol fuck that'

to be fair, it's a fucking ghost/demon/spirit thing, so in the end it probably doesn't have any basis in logic whatsofuckingever

and it does take forever to swing

and theoretically if death sword had an extremely larger arm strength to size ratio, it could pull it off

but why am i saying this about video games

i dont even

let me just explain the square cube law really quicko

it's actually quite simple to understand, but almost always forgotten

what happens is

lets say you have a line

it's 2 centimeters long

so if you have four of these, you have a 2 by 2 square

which means an area of 4

now then

lets say its a cube

that's 3 dimensional, which means it's 2 by 2 by 2, or 8

so the cube's volume is 4x the individual side

now lets think about it

what happens if you double the side size?

shouldn't be that much more massive, right?

4x4x4 is

64

now look at that

the volume is 8 times what it was last time, just because we doubled the size

this is, among other things, why insects can't grow too large. their method of gaining oxygen involves having a lot of surface area, which has a similar equation, and most importantly their exoskeletons would be too difficult to lift if they got too large due to the square cube law

this is also why giants couldnt exist

so what it basically boils down to is this: you can't support something twice the size of a smaller thing with the same proportional mass, because the weight is getting larger at an exponential rate and thus requires an exponential amount of balancing
