Presenting my babies!

Sophie

She's a sumiciu (asturian folklore creature similar to borrowers). She used to live with her mother in an hórreo (a type of raised granary), surviving on the food humans would store in there. Sophie's mom left one day on a borrowing trip to the human house nearby, but unfortunately never made it back.

Sophie would have to learn to survive on her own, until shortly after she was spotted by a human during a borrowing trip to her house. Surprisingly the human not only didn't trap her, but seemed willing to accept her presence. Sophie of course fled, terrified.

A few days later there was a really bad storm and the hórreo roof collapsed, leaving the poor Sophie exposed to the rain and cold. The human would find her the following morning while inspecting the damage and rescue her. After a typical bumpy introduction, she reluctantly agreed to stay with the human until the hórreo got repaired, and that's how she met Curuxa.

She's a sweet and polite child, and loves learning everything she can.

Irene "Curuxa" Muñoz

She's a young human woman who was relocated to a village after losing her home. She got to meet smallfolk in the past, at his grandparents summer house when she was nine. Having waved off those memories as just being her childhood imaginations, she ended up developing a special interest on fairies and other kinds of tiny people.

What was her surprise when she rediscovered the smallfolk by spotting Sophie in her new home, and from that moment of she felt protective and responsible for the young sumiciu's wellbeing. Her nickname Curuxa comes from that first encounter, since sumicios usually call "curuxes" (owls) to those humans that stay awake at night and make their borrowing trips harder, which was the human's case because of her bad sleeping schedule.

Curuxa is a kind and soft spoken person with a tendency to have anxiety and panic attacks because of her recent trauma after losing her home.

i will never NEVER forgive the english language for not having a specific word for barn owls

just LOOK AT THEM. I LOVE THEM.

also they're quite important in asturian culture and we call them curuxes (that's the plural, the singular is curuxa)

[chiisanakurisu]

Yes!! I had thought of this concept for my sumicios, when some humans find them and put them in danger. It doesn't happen too often though, since the amount of magic required is very high and sumicios are one of the folklore species with less magic available. It's more of an emergency resource when they are in inmediate danger.

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 👍)

(Curuxa)

[aformigaatomica]

A casca de pino estala cando arde. Ese crepitar tranquiliza. Non así o ulular da curuxa, que escolleu esta noite clara para ceibar a súa risa triste, moi cerca da ventá. Debe ser tataraneta da que vivía nalgún oco dos carballos vellos que rodeaban a nosa eira cando eu era unha nena. Ás curuxas non lles gusta ir lonxe e os carballos aínda están: Moito máis ocos, moito máis vellos. E xa ninguén me dirá que a curuxa atrae a morte, porque todos os que mo dicían están mortos.

Hi all, these last Christmas I gave you my heart were chaotic as hell to me, but though the holiday is over I still wanted to share the amazing Secret Santa drawing @occasionallytea did for me 🥹🥹

Yes, Sophie's adoptive giant family! Curuxa is her "mom" (more like her caretaker), Tommy is the sweetest adoptive big big brother and Carmina becomes a honorary grandma for the whole group.

Anyone have G/t family ideas? Just big older siblings protective? Giant younger siblings teasing their smaller older siblings? Giant parents carrying their kid even when they’re young adults?

Just anything really?

Exactly! In my (still unwritten lol) story, Curuxa feels responsible for Sophie's wellbeing, but because she's a child, alone and in a vulnerable situation. And even like that she tries to convince her to come to her place instead of plainly taking her. And she always tries to respect the child's autonomy.

Also, I want my story to be about the importance of mutual support, and all my characters, no matter their age, size or species, will have their times to help and to be helped. Size is just a factor (though one of the most seen since the tiny character is one of the protagonists, but that's all)

I like scenarios where the tiny is not dependent on the giant.

I like when it is the tiny's choice to come around and spend time with the giant, rather than being forced to stay with them out of necessity or coercion.

It makes it feel more like a friendship. The tiny is less likely to be scared of the giant, and doesn't feel beholden to them. The power imbalance doesn't feel as pronounced.

Just let the tiny have some independence.
