Does g/t make love triangles better?

@TakoAlice8 Two love-struck giants fighting over a tiny woman and potentially destroying a city in the process? I love that idea so much

@Olo I heard a lot people really don’t like the trope. I don’t know if it’s falling out of favor.

I mean, a GT, GT, sw triangle is effectively ruined by the fact that it isn’t a love triangle, it’s two guys fighting over a toy. Unless they’re very considerate, the woman’s opinion isn’t going to be relevent to who she ends up with.
I guess that’s a better way to put that scenario. To me it does kind of give off love triangle vibes which is why I put it in the post.

@TakoAlice8 That’s just exciting! Maybe you mean, like acting “yandere” towards the tiny woman? (Sorry for using anime terminology).

I find love triangles really frustrating (not in a good way), but if I had to pick a typical classic triangle dynamic, it would also be two giants fighting over one lady. And if chaos ensues, have at it.
Otherwise, I’ve been appreciating scenarios where all three are enjoying each other’s company. It may be a part of me where I like to see everyone get along, but I like imagining a tiny lady getting smooshed and pleasured as she’s caught between the huge powerful bodies of two hot fellas.

@Peep Yandere is not really what I had in mind. But I like that idea too.

I think part of why I don’t particularly like love triangles is because it generally means that one person’s going to end up unhappy, and that’s kinda sad. But I think the bigger reason is because I think love triangles are rarely done well. I dunno, I’ve seen so many where it’s very obvious who the person is going to end up “choosing” and it feels like so much time is wasted on pointless drama that doesn’t really accomplish anything. But if a love triangle is done well then I’m totally open to it – and add a size element to the mix and I’m far more likely to be interested!

Yeah, if you look at it as a tool for romance stories, the main pairing is usually pre-established, even if it doesn’t happen until the end, so there’s no real drama when X character is torn between character Y and Z, because the summery spells out it was always going to be Z. It especially doesn’t help if Z isn’t that good of a character for whatever reason, and Y, who is much more sympathetic, seems to be written in only to be used a tool to fuel Z’s relationship.
