What small details really elevate size content for you?

@i-am-insane Totally agree with this!

I was going to add that accidental displays of power are a fun detail. Especially early encounters where the giant is still figuring out how fragile said tiny is. Maybe they squeeze a little too tight (could even be when rescuing a tiny and they aren’t as careful).

Or maybe even the tiny is playing a prank/trying to pinch the giant, something. And their efforts are just a tickle/not much to the giant. Just showing how much power they have over the tiny. All the more so when the giant is careful so much of the time and its an accidental reminder of it all.

The beautiful contrast size creates and how that inevitable power indifference is handled by the characters is just so fascinating and lovely to me.

Honestly, that sheer difference in power informs a lot of how a GT/sw dynamic works, and how, in anything close to a ‘fair’ relationship, the giant has to accommodate the sw, make allowances for her, respect her fragility and how delicate she is, that many things that aren’t a threat or obstacle to him may be serious problems for her, while the sw has to acclimate to the fact that they aren’t in control, in many ways.

Sure, she may be in charge, or telling them what to do, or even manipulating him with pleasure until he’s weak in the knees, but the second he just… reaches over and picks her up all of that goes away; they don’t get to choose what happens to them, where they go, anything. It’s all the giant’s choice, and even the fact he’s not making that choice is, in fact, him choosing not to choose; he allows her that control, it’s not something she has herself.

In reminds me about what people say about Superman vs Batman fights, that Superman has to not use all his natural advantages (like just blasting Batman from space or something) to even allow Batman to get to a situation where they fight at all, allowing him to even be able to have a chance to fight. That those big, dramatic fights are still Clack accommodating his strength against Bruce’s frail humanity.
