#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

[clown-friend-gt]

could you imagine a g/t cinderella story? like two characters who meet while they're the same size, but one of them is secretly a giant/tiny? whether it's through a spell or sizeshifting or whatever but for one night they get to go to an event where everyone is normally bigger/smaller than them. and they meet someone there and hit it off but then the clock strikes midnight and they have to run away. but instead of leaving behind a slipper their love interest catches a glimpse of them at their true size just before they get away

imagine a borrower-turned-human shrinking back down to their normal size and slipping back into the palace walls. imagine a giant-turned-human slowly growing back to their normal size and leaving an accidental trail of destruction in their wake? there's so many other possibilities, those are just some off of the top of my head

I have an AU I'm writing that has a few chapters that incorporate some of these ideas, but those characters technically know each other before they meet at the ball. I'd like to see a story where the characters meet for the first time at the ball, so I wanted to share this idea with everyone here. let me know what you think!

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."

HUMAN PARENTS WITH BORROWER KIDS

Their kid keeps finding and bringing back bugs HOLY SHIT-

There's even tinier and sharper toys laying around for unsuspecting parents to step on (and you thought legos were bad)

Speaking of legos, legos or dollhouse palaces and play structures for your kid

Your kid is also using you as a jungle gym and has no sense of fear and HOLY SHIT JUST YELLS "CATCH ME" BEFORE DIVING OFF THE COUNTER AND GIVING YOU A HEART ATTACK

They're so small you can hold them in your hands, cradling your whole precious world

THE UNCONVENTIONAL CUDDLING POSES

you can carry them everywhere, or build ladders so they can get around! Just watch your step, of course

A baby monitor of sorts in case they need help?

You can build them a room out a dresser; with different layers and ladders- it's almost like their own building-

Cooking both big and small portions

Your kid wants to cook with you so you have them ratatouille you

And oh my gosh the angst potientals (let me know if you're interested and I will go in DETAIL I have thought about this EXTENSIVELY)

[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

[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 👍)

A Teasing Giant - G/T Story Prompt

A giant who likes to tease constantly and is painfully oblivious in all the wrong ways (for the tiny's mental well-being and continued sanity, that is).

A captured tiny (A sacrifice? Maybe their community said that the tiny made the choice willingly so the giant takes that to mean that the 'offering' was into this sorta thing or something hA nOPE) who has a 100% stone face that shows none of their terror that they most definitely feel, and they only speak when they know their voice won't shake so as not to give themselves away (maybe they don't want to give the giant what they think it wants - their terror) and is what the giant calls 'feisty.'

Misunderstandings and angst galore! Potential for resolution genuinely possible! Angst/Comfort sure to ensue!

Huhuhuh

Poor bb tiny ;-;

Good for us readers tho XDDD

Side Note: I shall return to writing my actual fics here instead of just throwing out random story prompts.... eventually...

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

[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

G/T PROMPT

(This is gunna be a messy explanation but it’s stuck in my brain and I wanted to share)

Ok hear me out-

Imagine a first meaning between big and small, where big is the stereotype cruel giant/human/ect, but then they realize that they suck and they become better (yes I am aware this has been done many times IM NOT DONE YET)

Now imagine; it’s been a few weeks and big has long since let small go, but ofc small decides to stick around anyways just keep their distance from big. Now skip even further to the point it’s been months (maybe years) and they’ve become friends, now both of them aren’t happy of course about how they met, but small has kinda gotten over it… big however still hates themself for it and thinks small does to. -small is oblivious to this-

So one day randomly, big and small change sizes because angst and big-now small- takes one look at small-now big- and starts sobbing because they’re convinced small-now big- hates them and is now going to do to them what they did to them when they first met. Small-turned big- is so concerned when 1. They wake up 10x bigger than they were 2. Their previously giant friend is now tiny and 3. Their friend is literally sobbing at the sight of them

If anyone has seen this trope before PLEASE SHARE I BEG

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

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.

MORE ON HUMAN PARENTS FOR BORROWERS: ANGST EDITION

First off, how did a human get possession of a borrower child? are borrowers known of in this world, and it's an adoption situation?

In that case, what is the borrower foster system like? What led to them entering the system? Maybe by the time they are adopted they have an inherent terror of humans- requiring lots of patience and space.

Is there schools for borrowers? Are they as good and funded as human schools? If not, you've got to homeschool now. Or, if schools are mixed, now you've got to deal with your kid facing even worse bullies.

Does your family accept them? Do people look down on your kid, viewing them not as capable as humans? (Almost how people view special needs kids). How do you explain to your kid that the world isn't accessible to them? That they can't do all the things that their friends can do: go to the beach, ride bikes in the streets, go to the mall, or even parks.

Are there support groups for parents of borrowers? How do you take them to the doctor, or do they have to go to a vet instead (plus the dehumanization that comes with that)

Maybe borrower rights aren't the same in every country- having to explain to your child how they are seen or treated in other countries. Having to expose them to that unfairness. Your heart breaking as their expression crumbles, as they understand that reality.

Or maybe borrowers *arent* discovered. Maybe you thought you had a nice infestation and brought an exterminator. Maybe you accidentally killed the parents with a trap. But all of the sudden not only do you discover there's tiny people, but all of the sudden you're saddled with a tiny *child*, and with the guilt that you're the reason they don't have parents.

You need to learn to cook for them. Doll clothes don't fit them, so you need to learn how to sew. Plus, the fact that this completely tiny child is absolutely terrified of you. Do they blame you for the death of their parents? Do they even understand it? Maybe you hide it from them, let them believe their parents died some other way to try and avoiding the plaguing guilt, as well as the child's anger and fear of you.

You have to make sure all holes are closed, they might hurt themselves in the walls. You set up things to help them get around, but you're still so *terrified* with every step- children have no sense of danger, after all.

What if they get sick? You can't exactly take them to a vet or a doctor, they'd probably be sent to some government lab. You can't give them medicine, any issue with dosage could be fatal. That fear of not knowing if your child is going to be okay.

You can't introduce your child to anyone- who knows who they'll tell, and you can't risk endangering them. You watch as your kid struggles socially, you as their only human interaction. Maybe they're annoyingly needy, and you struggle with being patient with them.

What situations would arise if they were to encounter other borrowers? What if they wanted to join them, and *leave* you? What if you wouldn't let them. (I'm almost envisioning Pixar's Bao short with this)

What if you were a human with a borrower kid?

[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
