Just saw Ruby Gillman Teenage Kraken and it was great!
Giant krakens and mermaids, many scenes with tiny and giants together, a powerful size shifter, and several handheld moments.
I recommend watching it for the g/t.

Two very different types of merfolk
In my original fiction multiverse, there are at least two types of merfolk, each belonging to different universes. Both are tiny compared to humans.
The ones from the universe Pocket Mer takes place in are five inches long from the top of their heads to the ends of their tail fluke. Their tail fluke is horizontal like those of dolphins and whales, but it’s covered in light blue scales (the tail fluke is a deeper blue). They have a soft dorsal fin on their back more like those of bony fish than those of, say, a shark, along with fins shaped like half of a koi’s dorsal fin on their forearms. These fins are deep blue, but light blue scales surround them. That said, most of their upper body resembles that of a human and has skin like such. Their fingers are webbed and have cling pads that make the fingertips larger than most of the fingers. They must stay moist but can breathe both air and water, the latter using gills on their cheeks. If one of these mers is chubby, that’s normal, as the fat helps keep their tiny bodies warm and streamlines them. Since they can’t cut their hair, they grow it until it falls out, and it flows so much more in water than in air. I decided today that they also have pelvic fins on their tail that are also deep blue. I could just pass it off as characters not noticing, as I’ve used that in rectons before.
As for the ones in the universe that Son in a Fish Tank takes place in, their bodies resemble those of common goldfish, but are four inches long (full grown goldfish are way bigger). The only parts that don’t resemble a common goldfish are the head and arms. The arms are short and lack separate digits, though Mers in that universe are somehow capable of holding things anyway (think of it like how the Penguins of Madagascar can hold things with their wings). They’re also in front of the pectoral fins. Their heads resemble those of humans and are attached directly to the body without a neck. Males are colored orange while females are colored like the Prussian carp that goldfish were domesticated from in real life (and are better colored to camouflage).

When Marinette went to the beach early that morning, she only expected to find seashells. What she did not expect was to find a mermaid (merman? merperson? she doesn't know fish pronouns) washed up amongst the tidepools and tangled in fishing lines and nets.
With his tail fin injured, she couldn't in good conscience just toss him back out to sea. So it looks like she found a new use for that old fish tank her mum had.
There's few people that Marinette has found who would willing listen to her talk for hours about fashion designing, art, and the shells she collects for inspiration or accessory making. But for whatever reason, her new friend is always eager to listen to anything she has to say.

Big fish, small regency house 🧜‍♂️🥲

If shrinking feels like tensing up, is growing like…stretching?
Is it freeing, or does it feel like being pulled on from all directions? Any thoughts on this?

In most fantasy stories, there is magic that stops normal people from seeing magical creature so....
An average person's prized goldfish is actually a tiny mermaid

there’s something so bittersweet and lovely about fanfic, at it’s core. it’s so impermeable, because it’s so individual. fics don’t get finished. fics get lost because they were typed out and sent to friends, in the 70s, and somewhere along the way someone packed it up in a cardboard box and their kids shuffled it to the attic. websites go down. archives get built, but then people lose faith in the story or the canon or the creator and delete them. you read it at like, 3am, and can’t remember the title months later when you look for it again.
the tiktok these comments are from was lamenting about the loss of a favourite fic—it (the tiktok) had 85k+ likes, and over 700 comments, mostly similar to these. people talking about downloading fics to read on a tablet only for them to disappear the next day. using the wayback machine and combing through results, just to find something they loved. i think it’s sweet because it’s so human—how easily we love something, and how easily we lose it. i used to print out my favourite fics, as a kid—i still have a binder of them, buried under yearbooks and the old journals i kept during those topsy turvy preteen years. i could tell you the overarching plot to a Cardcaptor Sakura fantasy AU i read (and loved; it became my personality for months afterwards) but i can’t remember how it ended, or if it even did. i finally broke down and signed up for an account on AO3 specifically to bookmark an old, old fic that i had read somewhere else, years and years and years ago and found again on AO3 only because i accidentally stumbled on the author here on tumblr (i had only found the fic in the first place all those years ago because of a playlist). i used the same shade of lipstick for years purely because a fic i really liked had the main character apply it (it was a limited edition one at the time; i bought my first one from a ebay seller in the UK at double the retail price, lmao) while the love interest watched them, but i can’t remember the name of it, only how it made me feel (and how, for years afterwards, i would wear that shade whenever i felt like the day had something promising to it).
one of the first anon’s i ever got, in the early days of this tumblr, was someone who asked me if it was okay if they downloaded surrender—and of course it was. of course it is. there was a point, during the final stretch when i was trying to write the last chapter, that i almost lost the entirety of what i had written for that fic—and i mean, it was on AO3 by that stage so it would’ve only set me back a chapter or so, but it goes to show how fragile things can be. how sometimes fics only last in tiny ways—because of the unfinished PDF file someone downloads. The patchy memory of someone’s who’s jumbling it and three other fics together. Because someone wore the same shade of lipstick you mentioned, off-hand, for years afterwards.
(this is a love letter to the silent readers; the silent savers. the lurkers. fandom and the internet at large is made of lurkers (eighty-five thousand likes. seven hundred comments). people who saved fics and waybacked them and will reread them, even uncompleted. telling each other we did a good job, that we liked this or we liked that is wonderful, and fun, and a great (and important) way to build a community and has also given me my current friends—but sometimes something you make will matter and live on in a way you will never, ever know. and it’s just how it is. it’s part of the fun and it’s part of the charm. it’s just how we work as people.)

I've seen many people posting about Mer!sundrop or Mer!moondrop and maybe even Mer!eclipse but it's always with them being so large.
Y'ALL ARE MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY!
WHAT IF THEY TINY?! ITTY-BITTY?!! FIT IN YOUR HANDS SMALL!
I love getting sweeped off my feet by big guys like any other simp. But what if they tiny? Kiss their little heads.
