Taivans whole story was based on him being a big softie who was large enough to carry a centaur without a struggle.
Him, not fitting in because of his size and being such an empath, in the end made him to the goodest boi he is, just changing his size is such a punch in the face because changing his size is in complete contrast to his story and the morals the storyline tells us.
He didn’t fit in because he was big, he didn’t fit in because he is very emotional and an empath.
Did he simply changed or masked his personality (like Blizzard simply changed his size ) because he had to be a “productive” member of a clan like all the other Bakars?
NO!
Taivan continued to walk his way and found a unique way in which his distinctive body and personality, not only saved him “his spot” in the clan but also saved so many lives.
And he sill continues to help a child to get through the most brutal and traumatic expirence of her life.
Changing his size diminishes the symbol he stood for. Being diffrent is not bad, not “fitting in” is not bad! You don’t have to change who you are to fit in or be liked!
You don’t have to make yourself small like the others.
Be big - be brave - be strong and kind but most importantly be YOURSELF!
Now he was forced to be just a frail dog mount who not only visually breaks under the weight of almost any race but also broke under the huge pressure of fitting in with the rest.
