Erling Haaland X Female Reader

Summary: Both Reader, and Erling being Obsessed with their size difference.

Erling Haaland, the towering figure of a football player, seemingly had an intriguing fascination with the stark contrast in size between himself and his petite girlfriend, who measured at a diminutive 5'2". It was as if he had a particular fondness for their noticeable disparity, relishing in the knowledge that he loomed over her, casting a shadow that brought an unmistakable smile to his face. To him, it was an endearing quality that she had to tilt her head back to meet his gaze, reminding him of just how much larger he was in comparison.

Whenever they stood side by side, the difference in stature was impossible to ignore. Haaland's commanding presence, standing tall and robust, dwarfed his girlfriend's delicate frame. Yet, there was something captivating in the way they complemented each other—a living embodiment of the adage that opposites attract. His physical dominance over her appeared to be a source of joy for him, a testament to their unique connection.

Their interactions were peppered with playful banter, teasing comments that emphasized the difference in their heights. Haaland would affectionately call her his "pocket-sized princess," playfully highlighting her petite nature. She, in turn, would jokingly refer to him as her "gentle giant," acknowledging his impressive stature with a touch of endearment.

Erling found immense pleasure in the effortless way he could scoop up his girlfriend whenever he desired. The sheer ease with which he could lift her delicate frame brought him a sense of power and satisfaction. It was as if he held the ability to lift her from any predicament, to reach for things that were beyond her grasp. And she, in turn, reveled in the knowledge that he relished playing the role of her protector, embracing his dominant nature with fervor.

Their dynamic thrived on the stark contrast between their sizes—a juxtaposition that fueled their passion and intimacy. Haaland, towering over his girlfriend, embodied strength and authority, relishing in his role as the dominant force in their relationship. He reveled in the responsibility of being in charge, knowing that she willingly surrendered herself to his guidance.

In her eyes, Y/N saw his dominance as an extension of his love and care for her. Haaland's protective nature resonated deeply with her, providing a sense of security and comfort she had never experienced before. His firm embraces cocooned her in a blanket of safety, making her feel cherished and shielded from the world. She willingly handed over the reins of control, placing her trust entirely in his capable hands.

The trust and vulnerability exchanged between them were the foundation of their connection. Haaland's desire to protect and care for her melded seamlessly with her need to be sheltered and guided. It was a dance of interdependence, where each step taken emphasized their mutual desires and unspoken understanding.

Their connection thrived on trust and vulnerability, forming the very bedrock of their relationship. Erling unwavering desire to protect and care for his partner seamlessly intertwined with her inherent need to be sheltered and guided.

In those intimate moments that existed solely between them, Y/N's mind became consumed by the images of Erling gripping her delicate wrist, his touch both firm and commanding. Her heart raced as she envisioned the forceful motion of him effortlessly pinning her down, unleashing an overwhelming surge of desire within her. The sheer disparity in size between them only intensified her longing, magnifying the ease with which he could bend her to his will. As her body quivered, a profound sense of yearning coursed through her veins.

It was in those instances that boundaries blurred, and a profound connection enveloped them both. Erling presence was overpowering, his strength rendering him capable of fulfilling her every whim and wants. And Y/N, with her own desires laid bare, surrendered herself willingly to his dominance. The electric current that surged between them was one of fervent passion and unrestrained pleasure, leaving them both breathless and sated.

In these private moments, their connection transcended the physical realm. It delved into the depths of their souls. The unspoken agreement between them granted Erling the power to lead and dictate their shared encounters, while Y/N reveled in the ecstasy of surrendering control. It was a dance of trust, where she willingly placed her well-being in his hands, knowing he would guide her with unwavering care.

These moments were their sanctuary, a secret world that belonged solely to them. It was a realm where their dreams intertwined and ignited like a blazing fire, consuming them both in its scorching embrace. Erling and Y/N discovered a profound sense of fulfillment—a primal connection that embraced the raw, unadulterated essence of their love.

Been busy enough to justify a full round up for this WIP Wednesday. The TL;DR being that I'm back to being fully lace brained.

Blanket 10 is NEARLY finished. I've started attaching the last row and just need to finish out this row and then do a border (and give him a good wash, I've owned some of this yarn for years and it smells a little dusty). The nights are starting to get really cold here so I'll be happy to have it done, I just gotta force myself to work on it.

Doily 14 (Yarn | Pattern) needs to go on a longer needle but other than that is very fun and cute. I've decided to put it down for a bit to work on the next two projects but I expect when they get boring I'll go back to this. This pattern is surprisingly simple for a Neibling as long as you're prepared for the long pattern rows. Absolutely going to have to break out the washi tape to mark off my rows for the second chart, but the first one has been very easy lace knitting.

Unnamed project aka me fucking around to see if I can freehand this sweater design. I had started with a two row lace ("Honeycomb lace" from A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns by Barbara G Walker) but honestly didn't find it fun to knit. So I transitioned to a favourite of mine (ssk, k2tog, yo twice). It's going a lot faster now tho it looks a little weird. I'm going to knit to the underarm and if it fits, it stays. If it's too small I'll rip all the way back and redo the shaping in this lace pattern instead with longer shoulder saddles. It's unfortunate that I didn't like knitting the honeycomb lace, I really like how it looks, I'll have to try swatching it in different yarns to see if the problem is just that this yarn has zero stretch (100% cotton).

I have decided I will put short sleeves on this tho. I had planned to just add ribbing for the arms but I saw a drop shoulder vest in a similar style and did Not like it, so this just saves me from having to rip back. I also think I'm going to have to leave this cropped, I'm not a big crop top person but with this yarn being cotton, having a full length body along with the sleeves is going to have the neckline very stretched. There may be no helping it regardless but there's no harm in trying. I imagine if this is does become something I wear it'll either be in the dead of summer or layered over a button up/some sort of top anyway, so a crop wouldn't be too uncomfortable.

Last but certainly not least is Shawl 14 (Pattern | Yarn). My precious Evenstar is coming along very well, I'm actually on the second to last pattern row before the set up for the border. I know the border is going to be a slog but I'm excited for it regardless, he's huge even all compressed on the needles. My self imposed deadline for him is April, but the border is only 56 repeats. If I can do one every other day I should be right on time, which sounds do-able even tho I know I'll get bored by the halfway point.

I need to keep an eye out for patterns for this yarn, I have a whole second cone plus what'll be left after I finish this shawl. These cones staring at me will probably be the push I need to settle on an Orenburg shawl pattern. (Or possibly a large Neibling, or one of MMario's patterns.)

[Marigold's phone begins to ring again, the third time in the past twenty minutes. A yawn escapes her, old floorboards creaking as she walks through the shoddy curtain into her bedroom.] Marigold: Yes, Mama -- You know, it's been almost three months now...I think I can remember to buy my own groceries. [She laughs, pacing around her room as her mother's lovely voice fills her with a certain homesickness. Not that Marigold will let her know that, it would only make her worry more.] Marigold: Nine more months, and I'm home...if they don't end up hiring me! [Marigold's heart melts as her mother reassures her, pressing a few kisses through the phone.] Marigold: I love you always...I'll be sure to facetime you and Papa tomorrow morning. [Mattress springs squeak as she flops down onto her bed. She can't shake the melancholy, despite living her dream. To describe her life in the city thus far, the two words tied are fulfilling, and lonesome.] [But Marigold isn't the type to wallow. She was raised with optimism, and her heart blazes with passion. She turns, cheek squishing in her palm as a sweet breeze passes through the flowers outside her window.] Marigold: What do you say, Teddy? Do you think we can do this for nine more months? [She doesn’t expect a response, but she giggles to herself regardless.] Marigold: Yeah, it'll be a piece of cake!

Look at how thin feral’s dreads are compared to City or Jungle.

Reminds me that one of the earliest trials to become a hunter is to have your dreads braided and braided tight. It’s extremely painful as the dreads are very sensitive. If the hunter screams, they’re disqualified.

Anyway, was it confirmed somewhere that he’s a different type of Predator? Like an offshoot that evolved away from the Yautja on Yautja Prime?

i think, and this may just be my zekrom bias speaking, that if someone wants to experience the full value of bw's story it's better to play through white first. black has the issue of coming off as very dismissive towards plasma's legitimate and well-founded claims that pokemon abuse DOES occur (and it does! from the kanto games' marowak to bw2's liepard there's instances where it's put in the spotlight, so it certainly does happen)... by assigning the protagonist to truth, it feels pretty evident that n's beliefs are "wrong", and the game just seems to brush any questioning aside.

on the other hand, white giving n the hero of truth role means we're basically forced to think about what that means for the relationship of people and pokemon at large. to translate a point n makes in chargestone cave: if you allow people to coexist with pokemon, even if the majority of trainers treat them well, there will always be someone somewhere out there who abuses or neglects them instead. are we okay with that? should those pokemon still be allowed to suffer, just because what they experience is an outlier to the general rule? while not outright stated, zekrom's association with hope and the strive for the ideal suggests that we don't brush off these facts, but instead take them into consideration, and aim to change the world based off of them... like how in bw2 society in unova puts a lot more emphasis on the bond between people and pokemon, and on pokemon as equals (see: iris's dialogue before entering your team info the hall of fame).

i think black version has its own unique avenues to explore, but on the surface level, it's a much more cut and dry, "no, you're just wrong", type of story that kind of makes you work harder to fit it into bw's overall theming of "the world's not black and white, there's not a singular objective right or wrong perspective."
