Craft Room for Tinies

@taters169 reminded me of this video that I've been meaning to share! (If the link doesn't go to the segment directly like I hope, it's marked in the timeline as "Giant sewing decor" ^^ )

Being more of a textile person, seeing builds like these is so fascinating to me. I can't get over how much dedication went into all the not-so-little details of each and every giant prop! And the fact that some of it is practical as well, using the huge thread spools to store actual thread.

I want literally everything that this person makes, and I'll definitely keep a lot of this in mind for the far-off dream of my own craft room in the future!

I've been reading this old GT book from like 1947, and I've developed severe "borrowers are the descendents of kidnapped lilliputians from Gullivers travels" brain rot

Are there other giants in "The Biggest Heart" or is Stør the only giant of his kind? Also, are there tinies or borrowers in this world

Are there other giants?

Yes! There is an entire country of just giants somewhere in the world. But they are very secretive and isolated from the rest of the world and have been for centuries. They don’t trade with other countries and refuse to communicate with other nations. Even with the rise of modern technology, no nation has been able to find them. (Because they aren’t looking in the right place, but that’s a topic for another day.) Not much is known about them, their language, their culture, their physiology, etc.

Stør (along with most people) has never met or seen another giant, so no one really knows where he came from or how tall he might become. He’s 17 and already 36ft!

———

Are there tinies or borrowers in this world?

Yes, there are fairies!

In fact, one of Stør’s teachers is a fairy. She is absolutely TINY compared to him! And she isn’t afraid of him at all.

Most average adults are about the height of his head (or as tall as his hand,) and come up to just above is anckle.

I made this world so any mythical creature could exist: from Dragons to Fae to Nymphs to humaniod-Arachnids. Maybe not necessarily in Noma (the country the story takes place), but else where there might be borrowers!

Noma is a melting pot of mythical creatures and humans, (leading to some conflicts between species, but that’s a topic for another day 😉). Humans take up 50% of the population (though some humans have magical abilities such as witches) while the other half us various mythical creatures from around the world.

Okay so we all probably have heard or read the idea of borrowers playing video games right? Where maybe the bean fell asleep while the game was running and the curious borrower wandered up and saved their game or messed something up in it or even just played it for a bit. Imagine waking up sitting in your gaming chair and the screen in front of you flickers as if someone is playing. You look on your lap and your see this tiny person playing a game, and they are entranced by it. They are so wrapped up in the game that they don’t notice that you’ve woken up. Maybe you watch them a bit to see how well they are doing, maybe when it seems they are having trouble with a puzzle, enemy, or something; you pipe up on how they could defeat it. This probably would spook them and they’d freeze looking back at you, maybe apologizing about playing your game without your permission and such. Perhaps you convince them that it’s fine and, in fact, they can keep playing the game. You both just chill and you watch as they play. Maybe a bond is formed and you two switch whose actually playing the game and whose watching. Now there’s a little gaming buddy who might be a little bit of a backseat gamer, once you two are comfortable with each other.

Or imagine this. You wake up one night to hear sounds on your tv, your old console was plugged in but you swear you turned it off. You go towards your TV and see it’s playing a game, and that there’s two people playing it. You don’t see anyone until you squint towards the floor where the controllers are plugged in. They’re on the floor but something else is on them. There’s a group of borrowers playing the game. Maybe there’s four in total with two on each controller and they’re all playing together. You hear one team shouting at the other that they’re cheating, while the other shushes them and says they aren’t and that team 1 is just bad at the game. Watching them reminds you of playing with friends but they have it a bit more challenging. On one controller, one borrower is moving the analog stick and the other is pressing the buttons. They’re awkwardly sitting on and by the controller in order to do so. Either way, it’s an entertaining thing to watch. Maybe eventually you join them and grab a controller, challenging them to a game. Perhaps since they might be a bit scared you say that if they can beat you in a game that they can keep playing whenever they want and if you win, well they’ll see. The borrowers accept the challenge and team up against you, and obviously you’re gonna either lose or purposely lose, cause why wouldn’t you want little gaming buddies? Or maybe you never reveal yourself but occasionally get new games for them to try and you simply watch from the shadows as they play, until one day they spot you or something and you have to explain that they’re fine and you aren’t mad at them for playing the games. In fact it’s entertaining and you’d be happy to join them or just let them play more.

Either way tinies playing games just seems nice

Parks and Rec style show that stars an apartment of roommates and an assortment of borrowers that also live in the building.

Apt 2D: One roommate will barge into the living room and accuses roommate #2 of taking xyz out of their room. Obviously #2 didn’t and things escalate into a heated argument. Camera pans over to borrower #1 smugly watching from the vent. Cut to borrower #1 confessional saying “yeah I didn’t need it, I just like to mess with Kevin. He put out mouse traps.”

Another borrower confessional: “Oh miss Linda in 3B? She’s a bit of a craft hoarder but we love her. Every day she turns on the price is right and passes out so the crew can get a ton of good stuff to trade.” Cut to a shot of them casually walking through the apt. Even showing a few borrowers trying to wake her up with shenanigans and shrugging when she stays asleep in the recliner. (Feather tickling nose, pushing stuff off the shelf, etc) They leave and she bolts upright as soon as the episode ends.

Apt 2D: roommates #3 and #4 fully know the borrowers are there and keep #1 and #2 in the dark.

#2: “where are you getting all this ____?” (Idk fill in the blank with whatever the lil guys have access to)

#3: “4 and I know a guy”

“You have a ___ dealer?”

“What are you a cop?”

#3 confessional: “I meet up with some borrowers to trade stuff. I don’t care if they come “borrow” whatever they want, but I like to see what they think a fair trade is. I’ve pawed a LOT of jewelry lately. Until #4 told them what it’s actually worth so now the whole trade economy is ruined for me. Had to start giving up the nice cheese. They have good taste though.”

Sense of humor

🧵;; You may find your borrower friend, despite being an avid survivor, also a great comedian in their own strange ways. This is not uncommon, as humor is a sign of inherent trust. Humor is essential for borrowers to cope with stress and the difficulties of their lives, but it is more reserved to close relationships since it can have ambivalent attitudes.

🧵;; Borrowers don't grasp sarcasm, or at least not the way humans do. For them it's very important (sometimes even related to their survival) to be direct and honest with each other, so sarcasm may be taken seriously and cause awkward moments or unnecessary misunderstandings, as it may come off as rude or inappropriate, and with the right tone and words, you may even start a fight. That is not to say borrowers don't have their own sarcasm, but it is less used when talking about someone with that someone, and more about describing particular situations or people to others. This is why borrower humor is HIGHLY context-based:

🐿️;; The borrower way of being funny and unserious often uses exaggeration as a resource (also a way of subtle sarcasm, eh?) For example; “This door is heavier than a bag full of thumbtacks!”

🐿️;; To show you are incapable of doing something that is considered “easy” on purpose (by being clumsy, slow, or manual tasks like sewing) can be seen as funny in a right context, with the right tone and expression. For example, faking being an idiot at climbing. Of course, you may be actually an idiot and it would be seen as equally if not funnier. Be careful to do this around those who are not your friends, or they'll make a poor opinion about you. Also, some borrowers may display a sense of ironic pity at someone else being poor at a task, whether on purpose or not.

🐿️;; Borrowers are a bit more desensitized to death, blood, and other “survival stuff” humans may find weird. So to make the most of it, they sometimes make jokes related to the unique struggles they face as a species. “You wouldn't believe it, but I've had mouse liver and it tasted better than this piece of old bread”.

🐿️;; Though some Borrowers do mock humans for various reasons (whether with shadowed honest opinions or just the dose of unique borrower sarcasm), it is not safe to assume they all share these kind of jokes or consider them okay.

🧵;; Borrowers love to laugh at themselves, especially the young. However, you might not ever hear them joke about their own traditions or ancestors, there is a well-defined limit they unconsciously know.

🧵;; Because it is required as a core value to “be a good borrower”, most of them are perceptive regarding this topic, and will notice when the joke they made went too far or went misunderstood, quickly going back to a safe spot. Same way they will notice when the other is trying too hard to be funny, which is not well received.

🧵;; If the joke wasn't funny or it didn't make sense, most borrowers won't laugh or even smile out of courtesy, rather asking questions (not pointing out how awful it was) as to not let the warm convo turn into a deep silence.

I’m back on my robots. But this one is a sort of minigiant that Noor occupies; I’ve cut off the speech bubble.

Setting

Here's a speed run on the last 300-ish years

So 1600~ humans and mythics knew of eachother, fairy tales were taken seriously and both parties roamed the surface of the planet freely. Humans still lived in villages and kingdoms, lacking most technologies, favoring knowledge of the paranormal thanks to the fact that would keep you alive longer than knowing how to make a stove.

1653~ A war broke out between the two sides, mythics and non-mythics. The world wasnt big enough for the both of them and on top of that, during negotiations the human representative, Alan Baker, was assassinated, assumed through consumption as they found blood but no body

1657~ both sides suffered numerous losses but human technology has lept ahead, now able to use some coal engines and such to fight back against the mythics.

1658~ the mythic leader was assassinated, Vlarg the great was thought to be invincable but was brutally killed, the crime scene led officials to believe it was a single, unarmed human.

1660~ mythics go into hiding, the general rule being that you are not allowed to interact with humans unless hunting and even then do not be recorded or noticed. Some intergrated, some just disappeared, others continued to live as they pleased.

1700~ humans made minor advances, building massive cities and developing electricity, almost all magic has been forgotten, only select orders still allowed to hunt and practice magic

1734~ the hidden city is built, a sanctuary for mythics, it is hidden by 12 spells overlayed and is impossible to enter other than below, it contains about 100,000 mythics and the population is growing. Here they live like the humans do below the mountain, but they get to be themselves instead. Smaller mythics are mistreated as well as some bring humans to farm

1800~ The battle dome arena is created for the rich of those factions allowed to interact with the mythics, any caught on missions brought there to fight eachother for entertainment. Petite dragons being bred for food for the contestants

1820~ Minx was taken to the arena, this is an important part of history as it took her merely a day to destroy is and burn the entire thing to the ground

1830~ human society is where we are today, only exception being the fact mythics have intergrated themselves, hidden shops, roommate being a gorgon, you name it

BEANS BEANS BEANS BEANS BEANS I HAD THE CRAZIEST THOUGHT FOR LIKE A CROSS OVER THINGY IN YOUR SNAKE CHARMER AU!!!!

Wilbur is out doing his chores when he hears loud crying. He's obviously concerned but also a bit annoyed why Tommy hadn't just come and sought him out like normal- which usually means he did something bad.

Anyways he follows the crying calling out to Tommy how he won't be mad etc etc and stop hiding as he makes his way through a thicket of bushes only to be totally stunned when instead of finding Tommy, he finds a badly hurt dragon hybrid who is deathly afraid of him and everything.

Tallulah is baby dragon hybrid (bit younger than Tommy) and has stumbled her way into the Forest where everyone resides. She's just escaped a bunch of hunters and is hiding when Wilbur finds her. She's kinda cornered but Wilbur is eventually able to settle her. As soon as he talks about bringing her home to the village she panics and runs off.

Cue round two of Wilbur lying to everyone while he tries to adopt befriend his big little girl.

I think it would be really cute and the Wilbur would probably get Tommy involved because she needs somewhere safe to sleep till she's comfortable and Tommy would have someone his size to play and talk with. (Plus I just think it would be really sweet for Tommy to get a hug from someone big like him since he's a touch starved danger noodle)

Anyways.... THANKS FOR LETTING ME RANT!!!!!!!! Have these and how are you btw?🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭🍭

OMG YESSSS!

I also like the idea that this is a little later in the au. If you don’t mind my own spin lol.

Like Tommy is finally fully integrated into the village and everyone is comfortable around him. He’s probably 16/ 17 now and Wilbur is 24/25.

—————

Wilbur and Tommy are out doing one of their routine hide and chase hunts when Wilbur hears quiet sniffles coming from behind a large bush.

Wilbur is first a little skeptical because Tommy has been known to play pretend hurt to get Wilbur to come to him instead of keeping up the chase.

He called out Tommy’s name in aggravation saying Tommy was to old for this trick, but he was surprised that instead of snickering he was met with complete silence.

Wilbur pushed through the bush and his heart leapt into his throat.

Instead of Tommy, he was met with black purple wings and a shorter tail. Small scaled hands with short talons covered a fearful face, only leaving a head full of chocolate curls with two horns poking through.

Wilbur took a deep breath after accessing the situation. It was a little girl. Way younger than when he found Tommy, or well when Tommy found him.

Wilbur speaks out a soft hello, only for her to whip her head out of her hands to meet Wilbur’s gaze.

Wilbur’s core shook to his core as those dark slit eyes focused on him. He had to steady his nerves. He had done this once before he could do it again. Wilbur cleared his throat.

“Hello there…” It was soft and comforting. “Are you lost Sweetheart?”

The dragon looked at Wilbur with fearful confusion, as if Wilbur wasn’t what she was expecting. But as her eyes lingered on him they seemed to round out in wonder. She had never met anyone like this before.

“My name’s Wilbur, what’s yours?” The dragon stayed frozen awhile longer, seeming to take in all of Wilbur’s features, the little beast nodded to herself and dug in a small bag that was at her side. She pulled out a sheet of paper that was way larger than Wilbur , crumbled and stained.

The mouse backed up a bit so the Dragon could lay it out before him. There on the page what was Wilbur assumed to be her name in chalky purple crayon wax. Some of the letters backwards, some the right way round.

“Tallulah?” The dragon perked up and leaned closer to Wilbur. The mouse only a little nervous at her hovering. “Can you speak?”

The hatchling shook her head in the negative before opening her mouth. “ l-little…” It was quiet and broken, as if the girl wasn’t use to speaking at all. “That’s alright, but could you try to tell me why you’re out here by yourself?” Tallulah opened her mouth but it slammed shut once more. Her eyes narrowed back into slits and she seemed to look beyond where Wilbur stood. Wilbur swallowed nervously.

Wilbur suddenly felt the grounds familiar trembles, and a nervous Tommy called out for him in the distance.

It’s just Tommy. Wilbur thought in relief, but before he could comfort the girl he found himself wrapped in a strong grip and a finger over his mouth. The mouse’s heart thudded against his chest.

Tallulah had snatched Wilbur off the ground and crawled in between a little pocket in the cliff wall that was behind it. It was almost perfectly crafted for the dragon’s size. No one larger would be able to fit through.

“Tallulah.” Wilbur was trying to be stern , but his voice trembled from the unexpected grabbing. “Tallulah, please put me down.” The dragon only held him closer to her chest, a long and quiet shhhhhhh coming out of her lips. “Hunters…” That one word held such fear, the girl didn’t even seem to be focused on him. Her mind somewhere else, but one of her small clawed digits kept petting Wilbur’s hair over and over again.

“It’s gonna be alright sweetheart. That just my brother.” But the Dragon didn’t seem to listen, she just softly rocked back and forth . Rhythmically running her finger over Wilbur’s hair.

Before Wilbur could say other word, a twig snapped outside breaking the girl’s since of comfort.

“Wilbur? Are you in there?”

————-

But AHHHHH I love this idea so much. The hurt comfort and more found family is everything.

But basically Tallulah using Wilbur as a teddy bear

I feel like after she get to know her uncle Tommy more she calms down, but that first night she was very fearful.

Wilbur will manage to lure her out of the cave and Tommy awkwardly tries to introduce himself. The bring Tallulah to one of Tommy’s old dens and Wilbur and Tommy take turns watching her and taking care of her before Tallulah says she comfortable enough to meet Phil and Techno, and then eventually the others

But yes just Wilbur and Tommy being the worst at keeping a secret that they are caring for a literal child.

(Pls pls pls let me know if you have anymore input!)

(Also I’m doing well! I have just been super busy with work and life, but glad to still be able to be on here❤️)

More g/t in real life??

La muñeca Camila

Around the 2000’s this giant woman was built as a way to teach kids about anatomy. There were several build in Peru, Colombia and Venezuela (and prob other places too) Some also knew her as Aurora.

Some versions measured more than 60 meters (around 197 feet!!)

The experience was interactive and included movement like breathing, heart beating and peristalsis movements in the intestines.

Overall it was kind of creepy. As in it was very dark and cold. Plus the “doll” was supposed to be a drinker AND smoker while also pregnant (I think in some of the dolls she even “gave birth” but I’m not so sure how that worked)

Fun fact~

Camila is thought to be cursed. As (at least those in Colombia) mysteriously burned.

[gayturians]

one of the reasons there's contention between poor people and not-poor-but-not-wealthy people is that 'one bad day away from being poor' still isn't being poor. we should all be on the same side but i think a lot of people really don't understand that "i could be you tomorrow" is not the bridge-building sentiment they think it is.
