Oh yeah, this is old. I have moved away from Tumblr and most G/T stuff at this point, my drive for writing is basically gone, and it takes a very special type of story to get my invested.

Thank you for answering, I hope you are doing well and are still enjoying what you do!

Hello, are you still alive? I would love to hear some more G/T Fluff. If there is anything I can do to help, I would love to provide it!

Oh my goodness hi! I have no idea how old this ask is, but yup I'm still alive!

I've been working on my G/t book in the dark trenches and hope to get that out at some point. 👀 In the mean time I hope to be more active on here and post some more of that G/t fluff we all crave!

Thanks for checking in on me!! ❤️🥺

hello gtms is being discussed again i want to be honest again about things

i read the post from showrunnerihardlyknowher. I really am awful with words and articulating these kinds of things but everything she talked about was true, not that that needs coming from me. I’ve avoided talking about the mess i made again after i apologized the last time because truthfully i don’t know how to address it properly, but i’ll try,

I fucked up horrendously and i cost a brilliant creator her passion and her comfort and her project. i didn’t listen to her boundaries or suggestions for change. i won’t defend my actions. From what i know from friends it sent a ripple through the gt community as well. I dragged you all into it too, and i know many of you are rightfully angry and hurt. i wish i knew how to fix everything. i’ve never regretted anything more in my life, no excitement or fixation or fuckin anything was worth what happened to iris. i ruined a good thing and hurt somebody i deeply cared about. it’s been almost exactly a year to the date of the final convo and i haven’t stopped thinking about it for a day. Everything i do is now punctuated by these mistakes, i’ve spent the last year ruminating on every time i’d suddenly remember that i had actually run past a boundary or bulldozed over her, which are things i was too self focused and tunnel-visioned to realize, and i’ve done nothing but try to be better every day. i never want this to happen to anyone because of me again, especially not my own friends. And being tunnel visioned or excited or whatever the fuck definitely isn’t an excuse for anything that happened, god knows it doesn’t matter in the scheme of the destruction. I only address any of my emotions now to denote how seriously i take what i did, i do not want to weaponize them. I don’t want sympathy and i don’t want anyone defending me.

and to the point that there were few consequences for me, it’s true, i’m still here and i still have a following that was partly built on that art while she was forced out. it’s not fair. I’ve reflected on this for a year and i’ve taken every lesson i can from this situation but in truth i don’t know what’s right to do next. i wish i knew what to say, or do, i just know i make an effort to the best of my current ability so that i’ll never do the same awful things to anyone again. i don’t want to be someone who does that to people. Again, to everyone i owe, i’m so sorry. I know no apology can satisfy the kind of hurt i’ve inflicted, i just know i’ll never let this happen again.

edit: as much as i appreciate it, as opposed to commenting for support for me i’d appreciate it if we directed that support to writers and creators you love. reblog a fic and support a writer rather than give me sympathy for hurting one

I'd prefer a big stronk woman that can do both. Give soft hugs and occasionally giving those back breaking hugs that make your spine go *CRACK!* followed by a sigh of relief because she just helped fix your back problems!

Get you a lady who can and will kill you but is also gentle as a lamb uwu

The Pain!

[ageoldamateur]

This is really interesting! I of course ran through some of these questions for my stories and VN game (Which I doubt I will ever finish, good gracious), but mostly the question of "What items would be implemented in order for these species to coexist. The moral questions are something I really didn't think of, since I would go into Fantasy mode which is quite different than my Comfort mode where my G/T stuff thrives.

The dark side of giant and tiny societies

This is a brainstorming post about a common g/t trope in stories. It’ll contain heavy and mature themes. During my years liking g/t, there was a common story trope that I really enjoy even now. It’s those stories where giants and humans live in harmony, in a society that accommodate both species. This trope has been used a lot in more slice of life g/t stories and high school romance dramas. Usually involves a human and a giant falling in love, a human moving to a mixed species school for the first time, etc. These universes are usually so creative because of the constructions and structures built to accommodate both species in the same space. How the cities and buildings work, etc. But recently, idk if it’s because I’ve matured, or because I’ve read a story that made me think about it, the thing I kinda miss in these stories is how many problems there could be in a society like that. Usually everything is treated as normal by the characters because they’re used to it, but me reading it as an outsider started to realize… How vulnerable the humans are in a society like this. Let me explain. Think about, you’re living in a world where people ten times your size live. Not only one or two giants, but thousands upon thousands, good and bad people. Each step from each individual shake the Earth, and their voice is so loud they need to whisper to have a proper conversation with you. Not every giant would be willing to step lighter, or speak lower for a tiny person they might not even know. Being under a constate state of being careful around them must feel tiring. If some giants don’t want to accommodate themselves for a human, there’s nothing said human can do. I can’t stop thinking about how vulnerable humans would be. Having to depend of a good giant to transport you around is risky. And even if you don’t depend of a giant, walking on the same floor as the towering beings would be even more dangerous. Accidents would happen all the time, because you’re as small as a bug to these giants. Also, I think about how easy it’d be for giants to kidnap you, and sell you as a pet. It’s very, VERY easy. You’re too small for other giants to notice. And you’re so weak you have no chance of getting out of their grasp. Human trafficking would be a HUGE issue. Anyways I just keep thinking about how dangerous a society like that could be, and how hard it is for giants and humans to live together so casually. Humans are too small, too fragile and vulnerable, and not every giant is willing to walk on eggshells to make them comfortable. So nowadays, when I see a g/t story with this trope where everything is fine, I can’t help but doubt how possible a society like that would be. It feels too easy, too utopic, and I wish more g/t stories explored the dangers surrounding a world like that. That’s it, end of Ted talk *evaporates into the distance*

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Pro Tip: The Way You End a Sentence Matters

Here is a quick and dirty writing tip that will strengthen your writing.

In English, the word at the end of a sentence carries more weight or emphasis than the rest of the sentence. You can use that to your advantage in modifying tone.

Consider:

In the end, what you said didn't matter.

It didn't matter what you said in the end.

In the end, it didn't matter what you said.

Do you pick up the subtle differences in meaning between these three sentences?

The first one feels a little angry, doesn't it? And the third one feels a little softer? There's a gulf of meaning between "what you said didn't matter" (it's not important!) and "it didn't matter what you said" (the end result would've never changed).

Let's try it again:

When her mother died, she couldn't even cry.

She couldn't even cry when her mother died.

That first example seems to kind of side with her, right? Whereas the second example seems to hold a little bit of judgment or accusation? The first phrase kind of seems to suggest that she was so sad she couldn't cry, whereas the second kind of seems to suggest that she's not sad and that's the problem.

The effect is super subtle and very hard to put into words, but you'll feel it when you're reading something. Changing up the order of your sentences to shift the focus can have a huge effect on tone even when the exact same words are used.

In linguistics, this is referred to as "end focus," and it's a nightmare for ESL students because it's so subtle and hard to explain. But a lot goes into it, and it's a tool worth keeping in your pocket if you're a creative writer or someone otherwise trying to create a specific effect with your words :)

“Hero”. That used to have meaning. Now it just stands for drama and tv. No risk, no loss, save the day, the “villain” escapes. No one sees the real good a “hero” could do. That or they don’t care. Disgusting. I think it’s time the world was reminded what real evil is and why it must be fought.
