Like Please Please Know That I Love Being Part Of A Fanbase And The Connection - Tumblr Posts

Just a little rant about my issues with height differences under the cut. Please note that this is no hate whatsoever, just some rambling that is honestly all over the place.

I'm kind of frustrated with my own aversion of big height differences. Like I am not a fan of ships where one goes barely to the stomach of the other person. Especially not if the smaller one is a woman.

This is not me shitting on people who like this! I am genuinely exited for you, if this is your cup of tea! Write the fanfic, draw the art or just enjoy the idea of that. Unironically, please have fun with that, if you enjoy height differences.

But for me (especially with Halsin who will in most of the cases be the taller person) there seems to be a certain dynamic that in most (but not all ) cases comes with that?

Like the taller one being the protector and always the one to care for the smaller one, being very aggressive and jealous of their smaller partner and the smaller person being carried, easily hoisted up or tossed around, mostly more naive and having to be taken care of.

And its mostly never the other way around? The tall Person does not get to be vulnerable, does not get to be protected. And the smaller Person can stand their ground in certain situations but not always and then its a surprise to most that such a small person can do this.

And don't get me wrong. I love Halsin and his height (and how people react to him) is such a big part of him! But its like people forget that "despite" his height and him being tall and beefy, he should be taken care of too.

I do not want to sound like a hater, because I love the fanbase and the people around and I know a lot of people that I love to follow love height differences.

And maybe its because I am on the above average height for women (being almost a head taller than average ) and how people reacted to that in real life (telling me I am not small or cute enough to be a partner, telling me that long legs are attractive but only for a night etc.) that gave me such an aversion to that?

Idk. With so many people loving height differences in fiction its hard to steer around and I do not want to be so frustrated by this.

If you read all this: Thank you, have a wonderful night/day and take care of yourself
