#g/t story prompt

[withoutend]

g/t prompt 54 detective stories

imagine how different sizes/size-changing would affect murder mysteries:

the narrative follows a hidden borrower who sees more of what goes on than any of the humans

the detective shrinks secretly to listen in on conversations

size-changing to access hidden passageways and get to other parts of the house faster than they should

human detective routinely works with a fairy detective

no one realizes that oversized prop is actually the stolen jewel everyone is looking for

"If you didn't want me to find your murder weapon, you should have shrunk it smaller"

a giant is looking into a window, taking notes with a large magnifying glass and a comically small pencil/notebook.

examining giant footprints

the location is a closed-circle (no one gets in or out) because of size changing shenanigans

instead of further murders, more and more people keep showing up unexpectedly with no idea how they got there (while the 'innocent' mad scientist gets more and more worried because he didn't know there was a time limit on his shrink ray/potion)

to prevent the discovered murderer running off, a cup is put on top of them

[cat-egg-gt]

Too many ‘normal’ people in g/t stories I think.

Give me a germaphobe human that loses their mind finding out a borrower has committed the ultimate sin (walked on their counter)

Give me deaf borrower who thinks their being quiet while borrowing, and the human just plays along, pretending they don’t hear all the noise they’re making

Give me autistic giant who holds a human captive simply so they have someone to infodump to

Give me human with visual and auditory hallucinations that just thinks the little guy they’ve seen running around their house is a hallucination

This isn’t even mostly about representation, I just think applying these to the g/t dynamic makes an even more interesting dynamic

[coffehbeans]

Another g/t trope that I love but as a dialogue prompt

Giant: "You're scared of me."

Tiny: "...I don't want to be."

[gtbutterfly]

Idea I might make into a story:

So you know fae or fairy's kidnap human children sometimes in mythology? What if the reason they did that was to shrink the children down to their size, and give them wings and magic, turning them into fae.

So one day, a young fairy finds out how fae are made, and runs away to find their human parents.

I'd love to write something like this myself, but feel free to use this concept (and if you end up making anything, tag me in it 👍)

G/T Fluffy Domestic Story Idea

Okay I highkey wanna write this but idfk when, so if anyone else wants to give it a shot (or already has) lmk so I can read it big plz and thank ;-;

G/t story where friendly giant builds whole house to be Tiny accessible while the tiny sits nearby swinging their legs and watches and chats them up, maybe helping where they can or giving pointers over things they struggle with and would need help for:

Walkways up to counters/higher surfaces

pulley systems?

little ladders and staircases everywhere

hehe some slides for the way down

Ways for tiny to turn on sinks for water/showers

giant makes it so all drains have grate bottoms so there's no risk of tiny falling through

maybe a shoelace attached to faucet so tiny can climb out

Safely carrying tiny

if on shoulder, could be interesting if giant has an earing that tiny can attach a harness to so they can't fall (or maybe tiny just holds onto earing like one of those handles for tall people in trains)

giant makes comfy chest pockets in all the shirts they wear at home

Private nook for tiny's bedroom/nest

with a somehow working toilet XD

a cute little wardrobe filled with clothes either the giant or tiny (or both) made

soft bed, maybe out of a commandeered pillow or some of the giant's old clothes

tiny-sized mirror made from smoothed out shard of a larger one

Little sitting areas all over the house

in front of/on windowsills that get direct sunlight

a mini dining table on top of giant's dining table

Mini greenhouse

for fresh fruits/plants/veggies for tiny to pick/care for themselves

flower garden full of those little flower types <3

maybe a mini water fountain

Food storage spot for tiny that's constantly restocked

teeny containers to keep crumbs and the like fresh

something to keep fresh produce cool??

Appliances

tiny cups/plates/utensils (bought or made by giant?)

whittled down graphite for pencils

maybe a teeny inkwell to dip a pin in for a quill/pen

sheafs of paper meticulously cut into the perfect size for tiny

maybe an old iPhone is bought as a TV for the tiny XD

Ways to make sure tiny stays safe while living with a giant

Giant doesn't wear headphones at home and keeps music low

Tiny is properly accounted for before any cleaning gets done (especially vacuuming HA)

Little bells all over the house so tiny can call for help if they need it

Helium balloons periodically exchanged for fresh ones that tiny can tie around their waist when crossing over the floor so they're easy to spot ;3

imma prolly keep adding to this as thoughts come to me, but ye this was stuck in my brain like friggin' glue so I had to spill it out, no two ways about it

Stuck Tiny - Story Prompt

Here's another wee blurb, this time of what could potentially happen if a Tiny gets stuck whilst trying to escape after being spotted~

~~~~~~~~

Fearful even as giant only starts to help wriggle them out while verbally sympathizing, the tiny in their panic not believing a single word.

The feel of huge, thick fingers around a fragile body, oh-so-carefully squeezing and tugging, the tiny terrified that the giant's patience is going to snap and they'll end up torn in two with a single harsh jerk of movement from those monstrously-sized digits brushing up and pressing against their thin, heaving torso.

Does the tiny pass out? Does the giant safely get them free but then not release them even as the tiny tries to escape, claiming the tiny 'owes them' now? Does the giant truly accidentally hurt the tiny while trying to get them free, a mistake that the tiny will undoubtedly find either purposeful or a sign of the giant's lack of care/self-awareness?

Who knows!!~~~~

[welcometomylittlelife]

Hey Parker! I decided to draw you, check it out!

Hope you like it<3 -Zel

@gtzel,

Dude! This looks so cool! Haha I like that you added in the smudges that were always on my face. Mom always told me about all of the smudges that I got - and she never knew where they came from. I was always into something growing up.

And thanks for taking my... well... condition... into account. It's nice to see since that's definitely a part of me.

You seriously have so much talent! Keep it up! And let me know if you have any other fun sketches. I'd love to see them.

That's all from me!

So long! Parker

Size brainrot prompts

Some story ideas i’ve had forever that ive never had the time to develop. If you want them TAKE THEM pleaseeeeeeee!!! And show them to me!! I need these fics with my whole heart T o T -Respectively giant and tiny captives wake up in a blank, alien room, no memory of how they got there, made by their captors to play a game of cooperation for their freedom (jail break? Enemies to friends/lovers? Alien world? Gov Experiment? Who knows!) -summoned to another world(medieval, magic) but everything’s tiny, and the genius wizard who brought you here summoned you by accident. He tries to return you home but cant figure it out so you’re stuck oops (wanted by the military? Learning magic? Domestic cottage core w/ wizard?) -galactic explorer crash lands on earth, but they are tiny and earth was quarantined due to “abnormally aggressive tendencies and unreasonable habitants. Also they’re fuckin BIG”. Found by abnormally angsty and unreasonable (but not malicious) 20-something who learns to be chill. (Galactic federation un-quarantines earth?) -giant of the forest is a local village legend, and the youth of the village do “bravery tests” at night, leaving one of their friends in the woods for the night. Said local legend is actually an anxious mess who stays hidden from the kids each time, protecting them from the shadows while they stupidly walk through bear territory and the like (accidentally seen sometimes, always misinterpreted as aggressive and the kids run back with a scary story)

[sucker-for-shifters]

For Day 2 of GtWAC:

Post a prompt/scenario you wish you saw more often.

~~~

[If you look at the blog name, you already know where this is going.]

Sizeshifters. Just in general. I feel like there’s not enough of them out there, and when they’re implemented, it’s usually just the basic formula. Why not play around with it a bit?

What about a sizeshifter that has trauma related to their powers? Not that shifting itself is what puts them off, but due to some sort of situation, their powers almost got themself or someone else hurt, and they don’t want that scenario repeating again.

What about sizeshifting that hurts? Like bones snapping and reforming as a person grows, or their body feeling like it’s melting when they shrink? How about tying this into emotion/stress-related shifting?

What about monstrous shifting? Not just growing bigger or shrinking smaller, but adopting certain characteristics, like fangs, or claws, or other animalistic traits?

What about shifter fighting? (Because LORD, there’s not enough action at times. Sure, fluff and tame stuff is nice, but also, KAIJU BATTLE!) But also, seeing this in regular G/T stuff would be cool too.

And lastly, what about forced size changes? Be it a shrink/growth ray, some sort of potion, etc., I think it’s a neat idea to play with.

g/t pun 8

did you hear about the headquarters the borrowers set up in the nonfiction section?

it's based on a true story

[imber-rose]

So like, ok I had a story idea, or at least a prompt? With some potential, it’s probably been done before cause it sounds fun in my head so I’m sure others would like it but what about G/t with a cryptozoologist and a borrower/fairy whose an APEX PREDATOR!!! Like delicate tinies is very cute and fun but what about tinies built for endurance and agility, carnivorous like hunters! And of course… we’d think they’re adorable!!! Because a lot of people already live with little apex predators (yea… cats!!! Cat-like borrowers/fairies!!!!)

Again maybe it’s been done, it wasn’t until recently I even found out G/t was a whole subgenre with its own community and I’ve only gotten my hands on a handful of fic’s so far! But I’m really loving it!

Also it’s crazy to find out a trope you like and automatically/subconsciously add to a lot of your own stories is a WHOLE THING!!!!

Legit, I’ve been so delighted and giddy over it

Reverse First Contact AU

This idea just dropped in my brain after watching Harambe's tragic back story. And I'm so excited to tell you this AU. Transformers have become extremely endangered because of the war. They are all on Earth and can't communicate with humans because of the language barrier. Years later, all the possible tech humans were able to extract from them did eventually satisfy human curiosity enough to see them as less of a threat. And humans just now treat the last surviving cybertronians on Earth as though they were simple space curiosities. To be kept in a zoo setting. That are owned by states. Sometimes they are shipped to other states as a way of maintaining cordial political affiliations between nations. Since they are so expensive to maintain and keep in one place. Think of it as a Planet Of The Apes, old gods situation lol. [I revised my ask and decided to make this a separate blog post others can add their ideas to]

[coffehbeans]

Ooh, I see what's missing from most g/t stories now! Subplots!

I had this epiphany while rereading one of my favorite g/t stories. Subplots, or multiple perspectives, make the story so much more interesting! Usually I'd lose interest in a story because it's just the same thing happening with the same duo of giant and tiny characters. But, if you add something more going on, suddenly the story is much more fledged out. A mystery, a new set of characters, other things happening in these subplots that will eventually converge into your main story. All if this removes that stale pace from a boring story and make it interesting.

Is your main character stuck within a human apartment? Maybe make another character look for them and have their own little adventure on the side. Is your character finding a giant in the forest and making a friendship with this giant? How about another character that ends up finding out, causing some catastrophic results? Or maybe you could flesh out a world by bringing the POV of side characters that are related to your main characters.

Subplots! That'll make a g/t story much more exciting!

[tiny-brain]

Psst hey g/t writers, I got a prompt for ya

Character A is walking through the woods at night. It's pretty clear they're lost, and they look pretty frustrated. They keep walking anyway, listening to the ambient sounds of the forest around them. Leaves rustling, insects chirping, owls hooting, etc, etc.

Suddenly, they hear a soft snapping noise behind them, and stop in their tracks. They glance behind them briefly, looking more annoyed than scared. Then they continue walking. A moment later they hear more sounds behind them, like something is moving through the bushes. They stop again, looking even more annoyed. They take just a few more steps and hear the loudest set of noises yet, multiple branches cracking in quick succession, followed by a clumsy-sounding thud. Character A finally turns around and shouts:

"WOULD YOU QUIT FOLLOWING ME, ALREADY?!?!"

Silence. Nothing moves. Character A squints into the darkness, locates something, and says:

"You know I can see you, right? You aren't hiding very well."

Silence. Character A groans.

"Look, I know I helped you earlier and stuff, and I'm sure you're just being grateful or curious or whatever, but I'm trying to get home right now. I don't have time to deal with... whatever you are. So..."

The thing in the darkness shifts uncomfortably. Character A sighs.

"Okay, look, could you just at least stop trying to act like you're not there? Either come out and tell me what it is you want or just leave me alone, okay? I'm tired."

There's another moment of silence, before slowly, carefully, Character B comes out of the bushes, looking quite sheepish about themselves.

"Took you long enough..." Character A mutters.

(I'll leave it up to you to decide just what Character B is, what size they are, and why they're fascinated by Character A, as well as everything that happens next! Hope you enjoy!)

Tiny Hiding Spots (Ideas)

Where would a tiny hide in your home?

(Admittedly, these are the obvious ones XD)

----------

Kitchen

in the cupboard (likely if they were trynna grab a shnack)

in the pantry!!! (so many good hiding spots in there)

behind cups/dishes (high chance of shenanigans if the dishware is made of glass so you can see the tiny through it XD)

inside a teacup~ (what a cutie)

amongst the pots and pans

amongst the silverware XD

Living Room

under the couches/coffee table

under the couch cushions/pillows

by the fireplace keeping toasty~

Bathroom (wuh-oh)

in the toothbrush cup XD

behind the soap dispenser (could they be spotted in the mirrors reflection?!?!)

in the toilet (NNNOPE)

tucked in the roll of the toilet paper mayhaps?

hiding in the hand towel :3

Office Room

beneath the desk (ofc ;3)

in the nook of the printer opening (ahh what'll they do if you start printing something XDD)

behind the computer monitor

Bedroom

under the covers XD (risky business that'd be)

under the bed itself (beware of dust bunnies!)

under the nightstand (beware of dust bunnies x 2!!)

hanging off a lamp cord (you came in while they were trying to climb down it)

on the desk (in the pencil cup maybe?)

disguised amongst toys/dolls?

in the jewelry box (maybe they were trying a ring on like a crownnnn mghhhh yessss)

on one of the bookshelves (behind a picture frame? a book?)

clinging to the backside of the window's curtains/drapes

-------

hehehhe just a few ideas; there are definitely plenty more hiding places inside the home that I have yet to list XD

Pinning Board - G/T Story Prompt

Fairy g/t

This is a story idt I'd do myself (the premise is a bit darker than my usual, even), but I feel like it would be a really good read if anyone managed it, since it has many opportunities to apply liberal angst (hopefully with a happy ending).

----

Fairy gets caught in a giant's net and passes out.

Wakes up in a terrarium with the room outside of it being just wall after wall covered in pinned fairies, their lifeless glass eyes seeming staring back at them.

The Doc that captured them is mildly sad but not surprised when the fairy is seemingly hostile/afraid of him.

Doc thinks fairies are pretty much mindless creatures, little more than butterflies. He doesn't kill them, though! He lets them live out the full extent of their lives, providing them with whatever they might want/need, and when they pass, he pins them to continue admiring their beauty after their deaths.

Little does he know, fairies are more than sentient, and they rely on happiness (or maybe hope or freedom or some rare thing they can only get in their natural environment) to live, so it wasn't that fairies have short lifespans that made them die so quickly in the Doc's care, it was that they were miserable and terrified and were slated to die because of the fate the Doc had unwittingly handed to them.

Big oof potential ya'll.

For the good resolution, maybe our main fairy boi has/finds some way to communicate with the Doc that the other fairies didn't try out of fear/panic/misery/hopelessness. Doc is devastated when he finds out and rightfully sickened when he realizes what he's done.

.... okay I'm not sure how good an ending this can have with the premise ngl but uhhh, yeah here's the thought of the day!
