SOFT ATTACK!

The monsters heritage Pt 1

With his options narrowing and his legs growing tired, Ruby chose to lead the angry mob, chasing him to the ancient ruins at the top of the mountains. A sacred ground where most dare not tread lest they never want to return… there were a vast amount of stories surrounding these ruins, most spoke of a dreadful, unforgiving monster that tore it’s visitors to pieces. Ruby knew that the likelihood of those stories being true were slim to none, yet there was still an ounce of doubt that made his pacing come to a brief halt.

With the mob hot on his heels, he took a deep breath and leaped over the little thin red line and watched in amazement as the mob halted right before the very same line he crossed. Ruby took a few anxious steps back to ensure he couldn’t be pulled back or stabbed. He silently began to celebrate, only to miss an arrow by a hair. They brought weapons! And soon he saw more archers stepping forward.

He yelped and ran, slower than he would have liked but fast enough to jump behind a pillar and miss another arrow. Unaware he had just caught someone else’s attention. Ruby slowly crept deeper into the ruins, getting that distinct hair raising feeling of being watched. The silence was loud, and Ruby was beginning to turn paranoid. Footsteps that mirrored his own, a glimpse of something in the corner of his eye… the stories were starting to sound eerily convincing.

He ducked behind a pillar, hoping that whatever had found him would walk right by. What was that? Something small had caught his eye, it was fluffy, and waving excitedly, almost like a tail. Ruby was so surprised by the sight that he hadn’t even noticed the owner of the tail krept up not too far behind him.

Tyson had only taken a breath before their visitor ran off screaming “Minotaur!” at the top of their lungs, darting straight back to the angry mob who had frozen in fear at the word. He wasn’t the Minotaur. That was his dad. His dad must have had quite the reputation to get such a fearful reaction... He kept up with the human at a leasure pace and watched the human dart for the crowd, who seemed to have forgotten all about their temper and was now beckoning for the youngster to return in a panicked fashion.

Ruby suddenly received a heavy thud, losing their breath for a moment as they collided with an invisible barrier before they could make it back into the villagers' arms. He fell to the floor, gasping for air with great difficulty.

He looked at the crowd with fearful eyes. Knowing now that he was stuck on the other side with no possible means of escape. He saw they had mercy, and he knew there was a part of them that wanted to help. But their sympathy was overshadowed by fear, and their fear hidden behind anger. "He can't leave!" someone called "he must be one of them, a monster!" Another cried, stirring aggression towards Ruby. Spears, arrows, and even rocks were thrown towards him.

While Ruby tried his best to cover himself, he hadn't even noticed the large shady cast over him. The warm, fuzzy embrace made him squeak and recoil in fear, making his eyes spring open in surprise. It was that Minotaur again... covering him until a single arrow embedded itself into his thick skin. He wasn't in much pain, but let out a noise in surprise, glaring at the mob that had momentarily stopped and hesitated when they made eye contact with the beast.

"Leave!" He demanded, his voice like thunder, powerful and loud, making even the most experienced warrior take a step back. But the crowd wasn't about to back down that easily. They were determined to continue this meaningless hatred towards Ruby, but Tyson was having none of it.

He snarled, something you wouldn't expect from a being that was half a bull and flashed a mouth full of bone breaking, flesh ripping canines... the sight brought most villagers to surrender, leaving slowly due to the narrow path and dense crowd, followed by more determined fools, who took it upon themselves to continue the assault on the two.

The continuing attack led to Tysons final straw, growing over 5 times his size with skin so hot it glowed ever so slightly a healthy red.

His size cast a shadow over the mob, leading to weapons dropping and cowards fleeing. What little was left of the mob was now reduced to a pitiful group of people, frozen in fear. "Leave!" He demanded a last time, his voice so loud it made ears ring and the ground shake. No one dared go up against such a being.

Tyson let out a smokey sigh of relief as he shrunk back down to size, turning to face Ruby, whose eyes were as wide as dinnerplates, having finally caught their breath but feeling their legs being reduced to jelly. What a way to introduce yourself...

Tyson slowly crept over and squat in front of Ruby, his hands nervously holding his knees that were pressed tightly together. "Are you alright?" He asked. Of course, he could tell that Ruby was, in fact: not alright. But it was all he knew to ask.

Ruby tried speaking, but no words came forth. His throat held a choke, and his waterworks pumped tears. Oh no, why was he crying? He shouldn't be crying he should be grateful! But he just couldn't get them to stop. It's not like he had a reason to cry...

Tyson watched helplessly as Ruby's tears flowed, a mixture of shock and betrayal overwhelming the human. "Hey, it's okay, you're safe now, they're gone." he leaned a little closer, trying to comfort his guest without making too much contact. "I won't let then hurt you." Tyson reassured.

Ruby looked up with teary eyes, still sniffling and breathing unevenly. "But... But I ran from you, I didn't mean to come here - I didn't know, it wasn't supposed to be real, it was supposed to just be a story!" Ruby raises his voice in frustration, gripping his hair as he curled into a ball.

Tyson gently rubbed the humans back. The gesture was surprisingly gentle for someone, so... imposing. He was at a loss for words, a story? He knew very well that he was real. "I know you didn't mean to come here... most don't, this is... a complicated place." complicated was an understatement, he was born and raised here, and certain things still made no sense to him.

The distant yelling of people could still be heard being carried by the wind, making Ruby look solemnly towards the entrance he previously came from. "They're scared. They don't know what they're dealing with." Tyson says, wearing the same solemn look as the human he comforted.

"They think I'm a monster." Ruby whimpers, finally leaning into Tysons gentle embrace. "They think I'm one of you..." he spoke fearfully, knowing now that he was at Tysons' mercy. He remembered what he saw, what Tyson became, and it scared him.

"No, you're not like me. You're human, just scared, like them." Tyson exclaimed, making Ruby look up to Tyson. "Then what are you? Are all the stories about you and the ruin wrong?" Tyson stared ahead silently. He couldn't just stand by and watch Ruby get hurt like that. Maybe that's what made him so different. He gave a gentle smile. "To be honest, I don't know a truth about me either..."

Tyson rose, towering over Ruby but moving carefully not to overwhelm the human. Ruby knew at this point he had no reason to fear the Minotaur, yet his heart still raced. He hesitated when offered a hand and watched his own hand slowly take Tyson's. Ruby was carefully pulled to his feet and stared in awe when Tyson continued to hold Ruby's tiny hand. He swallowed almost half his forearm just doing so.

"Stay close okay? I promise I'll protect you" Tyson says with a gentle smile, hoping to ease Ruby's worries.

Hummingbird 🌺

[sizeshifterdonnie]

I've said before that Cyprus is actually much bigger naturally than he usually is seen, but he mostly takes this size when he's in the water. He's not as used to it above water, but he and Lucy were trying to be more honest with each other to avoid further miscommunications.

He was already crushing on her, but think he may have fallen a little bit in love with her after this lol I think he gets in deeper than he intended to for sure.

I've been having fun exploring his character more tho and finding that despite his in control and confident exterior, he gets quite bashful and shy when vulnerable~

King slime

You've been separated from your party, and wonder lost down the ancient tunnels of this large underground kingdom.

A king slime towers over you. You never knew they could get this big. The encounter had you feeling nervous for many reasons, the kings impressive health bar was one of them, the other was your lack of it...

"A visitor? I haven't seen a live morsel in ages." You shiver when being referred to as live food, slowly taking a step back in an attempt to distance yourself from the royalty.

This king was clearly well-fed and even had food to spare. It made you wonder if being referred to as a "live morsel" was what was to come of you if you were to overstay your welcome?

It seemed to recognize your discomfort, speaking in a surprisingly clear and sweet voice. "Does my size make you uncomfortable? My presence?" They ask while giving you a rather bothered stare, a mixture of worry and confusion.

You shake your head, but it sees right through your lie. It watches you keep your eyes trained elsewhere and try to keep a tough stance, but your inexperience makes it difficult to look calm and collected.

"Sit, I insist." he waved his hand, thick grobs of slime yank you down onto the jelly-like floor. You couldn't resist even if you tried. The landing was soft, squishy, and very much alive, it made you wonder if all of this slime belonged to this one entity- or that there were many more simply coexisting and doing the kings bidding.

Your personal space feels very much invaded, especially since the king had no issue getting so close and touchy, it was in no means to be inconsiderate, slimes were used to such closeness, it's how they survived, but you werent one of them, something he seemed to have forgotten.

After some squishing, pushing, and prodding, the king settled back into place "where were you heading?" Finally, a question you knew how to answer. "The surface" you say but gives the king a bewildered look "nonsense, you were heading deeper into the dungeon, not out of it"

A pin dropped, ah. That explained why the monsters were getting harder... and why you came across this early (although harmless) boss. "I could help you to the surface you know, on one condition.."

You silently celebrate. This could be your way out! "What's the condition?" You crossed your fingers, hoping it was nothing more than an easy side quest. "When we reach the surface, I want us to become a party." Now you're stumped again, lost just as you were before "but- I already have a party" you try to explain, but the king shook his head.

"I see no party members beside you, if you truly were part of a group, they would have found by now, not let you wonder on your own. You can't do this on your own. Let me join you." He had a point, and the king was rather powerful, hence why you needed a full party to take him down...

You still feel hesitant, worried that you might make the wrong choice, but you have little choice, you could either accept, and you'll have a powerful enemy by your side that can easily be leveled up, or decline and find your way back on your own.

★and this night's g/t concept we have

Sleepy tinies.

— |☆| Sleepy tinies who take constant naps in their giant's pocket. Sleepy tinies who immediately plop down once they climb into their giant's hand, using their soft palm as a pillow of some sorts, letting themselves relax against their warm flesh. Sleepy tinies who always find themselves nuzzling against the crook of their giant's neck every time they sit on their shoulder, yawning tiredly as they find their rumbling words rather surreal, slowly lulling them to sleep.

man. soft g/t >>>★

mm whatcha got there, nova?

[sizeshifterdonnie]

Thinkin' bout pets and G/t.

Tinys with springtails in tiny little enclosures like how human's keep spiders.

Tinys with spiders having the equivalent of cat people vs dog people discourse with web trapping spiders vs active hunting spiders like

A: "Web spiders are boring! All they do is sit in their web all day! You can't even teach them tricks!!"

B: "THATS THE POINT!! Why would I want a spider that jumps up on me when I get home?? Constantly begging for my food??? They're just so in your face!!"

Tinys taking care of a small mammal like a rat or mouse when its little and then it growing up to be bigger than them??? Seeing their giant friend interact with their rat it a way that just seems absolutely baffling? Like the equivalent of a hand held farm animal.

TINYS WHO BEFRIEND THE HUMAN HOUSEHOLD PET WHEN THEY'RE JUST A PUPPY/KITTEN??? Like doing it to be safe when the animal gets older but accidentally end up being the pets favorite person?? The human just confused why their pet keeps crying at the wall. Maybe they think their house is haunted.

Cats who treat tiny's like kittens??? GROOMING THEM??? Constantly trying to take them back to their bed because they're too little to be wandering around just yet.

Hunting dogs with 'soft mouths' carefully picking up a tiny instead of their ball, much to the horror of the tiny as well as the giant who just got handed something alive and squirming.

Dogs who hear the tinys getting food at night at sit there and beg until the tiny throws them something.

A borrower who realizes the dog listens to hand signals and is floored by this massive creature just being obedient to them

A parrot who keeps repeating stuff it can hear from borrowers in the walls, freaking out both the human and the tinys.

OR OR OR The human's pet guarding the tiny from another person (or them???) afraid someone's going to hurt the little person that gives them snacks??

Even more angsty?? A pet refusing to leave in a house fire, frantically scratching at the wall trying to get to the tiny ??? An absolutely insane first meeting idea...

Anyways. Sizey interactions with pets are super fun and I want more.
