My partner of a decade is 6'5, and I am 5'5. My partner's tallest brother is 6'8, and his mom is almost as tall as Gwendoline Christie. I keep reading these Kylux fics where people refer to their two-inch height distance as if it were epic, and as if they are SUCH tall men. And EVERY SINGLE TIME, it throws me out of the damn story. Like, they are not THAT tall, and their size difference is minimal. Except for the (rather rare) occasions when my partner physically picks me up, it is not a big deal that we are a foot different in height (except that we look rather silly dancing together). Like, I know people are just INTO size kink, and expressing it through fic, but just... if you have been tall or with tall people your whole life, it really isn't a big deal except when you're getting into airplanes or small cars or trying to buy a pair of pants that fit you. I am not regularly awed by the size of my partner's hands, for instance, nor has he ever made a big deal out of me being short, except in the very beginning when his cousins made fun of him for dating "down" because it turns out familial height snobbery is a thing. So just... if you're writing a story that ISN'T size-kink-oriented, plz plz plz consider having them both consider their bodies totally normal—as most people do—and then get onto their hot sex scene without flipping out about the novelty of their own physical forms.
