@TakoAlice8 I say this coming from a drawing and writing background, can’t say much for animation. For me, the creative drive comes and goes. Creating takes work: some days it’s easier, a lot of the time though, it takes and effort. It can be exhausting. Countering the perfectionism is only a small part of the problem, I think. But I don’t mean to make is sound all “gloom and doom” though; I just mean that you’re not alone.

It’s hard to not already “love the process” - you wouldn’t be wanting to create otherwise (unless you’re being forced to, but that’s a different issue). So rather than seeking to “fall in love with the process”, it’s worth being patient and, I guess, let the magic happen when it happens. Don’t force yourself, lest you get frustrated. But don’t give up entirely: fill the time by doing something else - something small, or something unrelated to your current project, even if it’s just practising for yourself. Every little bit of work you do is progress, for the term short term and long term, and contributes to your process.

I mean, that’s absolutely a fetish in a general sense. I might even say it’s common, even, considering what I know about female erotic stories and the like. I’ve found an almost certainly female author making stories about women cheerfully getting mind fucked into someone just as powerless to resist their owners as a shrunken women is, and a sort of shared universe literally called ‘Human Domestication Guide’, where the main characters are made into obedient pets by invading, well meaning aliens, so… yeah.

If you’re into it, willing, and consenting, then it’s not ‘unwilling’ in the meaningful, rape-y sense, which is rather the point where that gets awkward, morally. Hell if it’s just a story or a fantasy, then there’s no one real at all to be concerned about, and RPs aren’t real (unless you’re actually shrinking? 😏 ) so even if a ‘giant’ ‘steps on you’ you’re not actually getting stepped on by a giant foot, so… what’s the harm?

Honestly, I’ve always found it more concerning the other way around, since then you’re actually doing the wrong thing. The same logic applies there, of course, but I’ve always had problems emotionally accepting the logic about my own desires, so it’s not like I don’t get what you’re talking about.

@tiny-ivy
If you saw a chapter 9 here. No you didn’t. Erase it from your mind. It wasn’t working. Reworking the last parts of this story now.

@foreverlurk haha true, trope is probably not the right word. Whatever the equivalent is for an entire plotline.

I much prefer “lilliputienne”.

German doesn’t seem to like double consonants like those in “Lilliput.” Their words for male and female inhabitants of Lilliput are Liliputaner and Lililputanerin.

I bought the first hard copy of Milo Manara’s Gulliveriana I came across, which was in France. When Gulliveriana finally has her big disagreement with the Empress of Lilliput, she calls the latter a “Lilliputasse.”

Jude Doyle goes into much greater detail and has some important insights here.

This Is How You Lose the Sex Wars

Trying to pick a pathway through forty years of the ugliest conflict in feminism.

This is a nice reflection and really highlights the complexities of reconciling seemingly very polarised perspectives. It’s possible, and I think a lot of people overthink it. But also very difficult especially with so much distraction (sometimes intentional, sometimes not) from larger systemic issues, and social contexts constantly in flux.

Nope no tags on iPhone but I do see tags on iPad

@tiny-ivy Where did you post the fairy story, would love to read it ❤️

(Edit: found where the story is posted 😆 )

It was a wonderful time and great to meet you Olo!

Hope to see others at the next one 🙂 We need more M/f!!!

The next one is online and in August!

As Big G mentionned, any very short (5’2" and under) women can trigger spontaneous sizey thoughts. Even taller ones, depending on the vibe - yes, she’s hot, but what if smol

Otherwise it’s the most random things - a woman wearing an oversized piece of clothing, or struggling to reach the top shelf at the grocery store. Or just using an everyday expression (ie. “I’d like to be as small as a mouse to hear what they said in that meeting!”)

My mind wanders.

It probably stems from it, I’m frickin miniscule for a guy my age from my area and wish I was not this small.

@Giganto82 what they said

@skysayl I can’t say for sure, because I guess we don’t imagine the same things - where you imagine overwhelming full-body sensations, I focus on small, localised sensations on my body, mostly my hands, chest, and, well, privates. My hands are really good at getting those “phantom” sensations by pure imagination…

But having external stimulis never hurts! I found this stress ball squishy thingy, but in a different material than most, it’s NOT the jelly ones, I can’t explain but its texture is leathery/smooth and it doesn’t squish as much, like it offers some kind of resistance. If it was doll-sized and shaped, I would definitely use it to get the imagination going.

@Mimi-Robotto Thank you so much, there’s a lot that resonates with me in what you wrote, but first let me just say that I’m in a better place mentally than when I wrote this. I haven’t been able to talk to my therapist about the kink yet but we did address some adjacent topics. Meds also helped but caused other side effects which I’m still dealing with. Overall I’ve still got a long road ahead but no longer in pure survival mode.

About the void I feel, you absolutely nail it on the head. I’ve never been more myself than when I indulge in RP or semi-RP with tiny ladies. They see a part of me that’s been hidden forever, and they love that part of me. It’s incredibly validating and at the same time, reality comes back twice as hard to crush me. That’s the part that make me feel even lonelier in this life, more so than just the lack of a life partner, but one who sees me without any facade, at my most vulnerable.

Sadly I had to stop my therapy sessions because my insurance ran out and I couldn’t afford to pay for them out of pocket, but I’m restarting them in January, hopefully this time around I’ll be able to push through my mental block and talk openly about my fetish. I feel there’s still a lot to unpack in there.

@Mrgoblinging7 I’m just speaking for myself, but it can be a little bit of a hassle to post across a bunch of different places 😅

Are they blending up human remains and feeding them to Dee?! 👀

The struggle of having a Giant crave you in more than one way 😩

Well, my thought about that was [REDACTED] 😉

I like my giants and tinies to have a multisensory experience 🙂

Freaky and enticingly open-ended. The shock-collar mechsuits were clever, fiendishly introduced after the physical side effects started taking their toll.

Thanks! If work has taught me anything, it’s that internal retaliation is both petty and more likely to happen than one would think. Easy inspiration for the suits and their intent.

I initially read “CIs” as “cis,” which is (pace Elon Musk) a perfectly cromulent way to refer to people whose bodies haven’t been transformed.

I kept reading it as “cis” too, but it’s just a coincidence.

I hope that in the end Dr. Too Little accepted the price she had to pay for witnessing such a miracle.

She does, but she also doesn’t have much choice.

@miss-lillipants
(I love this so much. I absolutely adored the mild offense she had for the term “crush”. That made me laugh out loud.

The rest is so sweet and realistic, too! Not a trash fire at all!)
