So completely out of character for me, but I really just need to vent this somewhere
So one of the reasons that I’m kind of role-playing as a female Genya on here and other places is because one I am a shy person especially around people I’ve not met/like(or crush on or just admire)/the opposite gender, but also because I’m a tall person. Like I’m literally 6’3”, but the reason I’m bringing this up is because this has always been a huge insecurity for me, like it’s so hard to feel cute and feminine when I’m towering over most of my friends (most of them are average I guess which I assume to be like around the 5 foot to 6 foot range since they fall within that range, as well as others I’ve seen and met in my life where I am). Like one it’s so hard to find clothes that I like and find cute that are in sizes that work for me, since I feel so awkward wearing skirts higher than 2-3 inches above my knee because my legs feel so long for whatever it is and I end up hating it. However these reasons for insecurity is exactly why I’m so blown up about this now bc that’s been going for a while, but it’s rather bc of my problem of reader fanfic/x readers.
So you know when it breaks the immersion of a story when the author specifies a skin color or hair type? It’s like that but every time the female y/n is basically described as being shorter than the interest, sometimes it jabs me in the gut being reminded that I'm not small and cute and precious and so easy to be envelopes in another’s arms they way I really want to be. I understand the thing with the guy being taller being a hot thing bc (at least the me) it feels that they give off the vibe that they can care for you more being hot BECAUSE I KNOW ITS HOT BC IT ISSS. I don’t know if I’m just letting my insecurities get to me or if I'm being whiny from a thirst-fueled story’s immersion being interrupted, but it just, kinda makes me feel like these thing almost couldn’t happen with someone that much taller than the character.
