note: Tiny creature has to poop out of the top of the pocket.

    I’d rather be the pocket friend. You can just lounge about most of the time and be whimsical and / or the comic relief of the duo, until the day where your small stature is contextually fitter than being a giant, be a hero for the day, eat pancakes, and go back being a pocket-pal until the time you are required again.

    I’m leaning towards being the giant, because:

    1. I’d be a giant
    2. More autonomy

    Although, I’d totally sign up to be a pocket friend if any giants are accepting applications.

      Yeah for sure. But poop dripping from your pocket is a sign that you’d be a good partner to other giants. As they can see how caring you are. So you may never find love. Also if your wearing a backpack the whole time, every one will always think you are just about to leave.

    If the pocket is big and spacious enough to feel like an apartment, that’s free housing.

    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.

          I am also ogre scale compared to most humans. I’d like to be tiny for a bit. Wonder how it would change my mentality and view towards the world
