You kept everyone in the shed, the monster eventually passed further into the neighborhood while calling out to you & your family. It seemed that everyone in the area was aware of this dire situation and had taken shelter and turned all the lights off. It made it quite difficult for the large creature to see anything.
Before you could make your decision your neighbors child finds you hiding in the shed, when you asked why they came over they explain that nobody was home and that they had an eerie feeling they were being watched. You reassure them that they made the right decision to leave the house, as it would have no longer been safe…
You have found an old backpack, it’s in decent condition and can hold 4 items.
You decide to pack while your eldest keeps watch and your neighbor helps you pack, though due to the only source of food coming from the outside freezer you don’t find much useful.
You find: 1 dirty backpack, 1 child & 1 frozen water
You have: 3 children. 1 light. 1 backpack (2/4 1 water & 1 spade)
(tw for violence/death in this post; it’s about horror movies but g/t)
im in my Horror Movie era and like. i keep thinking how terrifying would a g/t horror movie be. a tiny protagonist in an oversized world could be so so scary. bugs, animals, unaware humans, even things just like struggling to get consistent meals or finding somewhere genuinely safe enough to rest. you could go psychological thriller about a recently shrunk person struggling to cope. you could have a slasher flick where the slasher is just an unaware giant.
i want Midsommar but it’s a borrower joining a fairy cult. i want Saw where it’s a borrower making traps for humans because they just hate giants. i want Hereditary with the added struggle of a mixed size family dynamic. i want whatever batshit original concepts A24 could do with a g/t dynamic
anyways i think there’s a huge potential for size horror and man. a movie like that would terrify me
ghost trick chapter 15 is so crazy to me because all of a sudden in this somewhat silly game with some serious moments theres just. A guy who can control people's bodies. and a dude youve been seeing throughout the whole game who was notoriously silly (even if he is absolutely a serious character) gets absolutely tortured. walking with broken limbs, seeing his friend die, seeing the person who he's been pursuing all this time destroy all his progress. Absolute personal hell. and then his entire timeline gets reset like the next chapter
Do you think you could give us an idea of what Victor and Amber look like? It can just be a description or it can be a drawing if you’re feeling up to it, no pressure or anything.
Yes of course! I took a little longer than I wanted but here are their designs! Along with some extra info! ^^
—————————————————————————————————————
Amber has 3 main designs. My name is not Amber…
1)“Flower”. This was before any physical damage was done. Though they very quickly realized what kind of a monster they were stuck with.
2) Rekindling. This was when Victor first found Amber. I’m Emil…
3) Amber. This what they look like now…Victor tried to heal all the damage Amber had done to themselves. But he cannot heal any damage he inflicted onto Amber. (Lost limbs, the carving on their back, and any other scars)
Call me Emil…
Victor

Doesn’t he look familiar?
What would happen if he woke up?
I’m only telling you this because he can’t hear me here. I trust you not to tell him…
me: so I genuinely think size is unexplored in the media, not just as a g/t fan wanting content, but as a writer seeing the missed creativity potential. Size dynamics could add new conflicts, opening up new plots, fitting in romance, family, thriller, adventure, literally any genre. It’s such a diverse trope that it can be applied to any typical narrative - but still relatively untouched in popular media to the point where any g/t ideas deeper than surface level size difference would be entirely new ideas in the world of media. Horror is veering more into lovecraftian these days - size would perfectly compliment that. Romance needs new obstacles for two lovers to overcome - a size difference would be a new twist. Special and practical effects have far surpassed the point needed for size movies - look at Lord of the Rings, or Ant-man. It’s an untapped goldmine, and in this essay I will
