#make them afraid to pick up tinies bc their hamster bit them once when they were three

[sarah-kings]

for the ask list, what's your least favorite g/t trope?

I've been digging around my mind for quite a bit and man, am I not able to find a proper answer for that I already am happy with the smallest bit of g/t I can get out of anything

I think the trope I like least is first encounter related: your typical giant finding a tiny and them starting to break out in tears and the giant emideatly trying to soothe them and reassure them that everything will be fine, they then move on together and everything works out oh so great.

Don't get me wrong, this trope is great, but it is very awkward if you have a tiny who wouldn't have a reason to cry.

If your tiny has a traumatic backstory, phobias and/or other factors playing part in this then yes, this definitely is a good way to start the first encounter.

But if you have, say, a tiny who is stubborn, extremely sporty and is oh so done with the giant then it would make VERY little sense for them to just break down crying if anything they'd just bite their hand.

Beyond this I dislike the trope of the tiny being the scared one and the giant the tough one.

I know a lot of very tall people who are the first one to scream like a girl when they see a mouse running by and jumping high into the air like in a cartoon.

I want more giants who are like "oh, HELL NAW, I ain't messing with that!" and giants who litterally have to prepare themselves to lift the cup they caught a tiny under bonus points if they still scream anyway and slam it down again emideatly
