I have questions.

When I'm tiny:

  • is the giant still a friend?

  • Am I less/ as/ more intelligent by comparison?

  • do I really have to poop out the pocket?

  • could I poop out the bottom of the pocket?

  • what is the scale difference?

When I'm giant:

  • is the pocket friend still like me?

  • is the pocket friend vulnerable to my mistakes?

  • am I one of few, or the only one remaining of, giants?

  • is the pocket friend intelligent or more like a pet?

Pertinent examples in this inquiry are Attack on Titan, the Iron Giant, Marvel Comics' Galactus and Celestials, that one episode of Futurama with Bender being a god, and the Shadow of the Colossus.

    Giant is friend. But you still have spats on occasion

    You are just as intelligent as you are now, the other is equally so.

    You gotta poop somehow, giant likes to keep a clean pocket. Pocket has no hole at the bottom.

    Scale is mouse to human.

    You are both humanoid

    Yes vulnerable. Be careful

    There is a community you haven't ventured too far looking for more.

    IQ matches.

    Iron giant is the vibe

    I've spent most of my life being the bigger, stronger, heavier person in most of my friendships. If the ratio is mouse to human — or Iron Giant — I'd take the opportunity to (literally) stand on the shoulders of a giant.
