@Kongman1313 I mean, what’s not to like? Whether the hold is protective and gentle, or dominating, or playful, sign me up~

@SmolChlo I need to watch more wrestling.

@i-am-insane I hope you know that if you think your on the ace spectrum, you don’t have to have a label for your asexuality or your sexuality in general. Sexuality is complicated.

I do also crave the more wholesome end of size scenarios. I also really like it in M/f scenarios where the bigger person is intimidating but not cruel. I also really like when the bigger person teases in M/f.

I am very glad the SW community has been welcoming towards you. What I have heard from other people’s experiences, the GTS community can be a bit toxic at times but not all the time.

In my stories, almost all of my main characters have elements of me. I can’t help but make them somewhat similar.

Some of them have a lot in common. But others just have tiny little opinions or annoyances that I share.

I have one story about a fast food worker who shrinks an obnoxious customer. The worker’s a cis man, a second generation immigrant, and he’s vindictive in ways that I’m not.

But, he shares a complete impatience with rude customers that I have.

I have another story about a woman who works in a media company that’s attacked by a giant business owner. She’s very similar to me, if I had just gone into media, the field I wanted to go into. (But I ended up stumbling into another field.)
The building she’s in is based on the building I worked in for a long time. And her CEO is based on my company’s CEO. That story largely came from years of fantasizing while looking out over the cityscape from a high story.

My story characters always have a mental separation from me, though. I never actually put myself in a story or a roleplay. It’s too intimate to do that with The Internet. That’s what my pen and paper journal is for.

@Olo Fair! I would just need to close my eyes and pretend I’m in a pocket with a hand pressing in on me 😍

@TakoAlice8 Wow I didn’t even know😖

@i-am-insane Anyone remember those moments of calm in the first Life is Strange game? Max would be laying on the bed with Cloe, or just sitting somewhere, the camera would just float around in the environment, phasing in and out of focus…

I can imagen a scene featuring a giant/tiny cuddling being a bit like that.

I always come back to a few things in my size kink. The first is that I’ve never been all that much into shrinking - in the few SW stories I’ve written, the man is either trying to help or (in the case of an unposted story) trying to figure out how to use his powers for good, and does so while navigating social expectations of healthy masculinity.

As many of you know, I’m interested in military themes too, because questions of bodily autonomy there interest me a lot. Governments and institutions experimenting on bodies isn’t just a ripe metaphor, it’s a reality. And to me it’s a way more powerful metaphor than just “shrink ray go zap”. Military institutions are also very interesting ways to explore the symbols and ethics of power, danger, and hierarchy. To me, it all goes quite hand-in-hand with size difference.

As I get older, too, the more I realize that my kinks are best enjoyed in narrative form, building toward something, whether that “something” is a well-crafted scene or a friendship or something else, rather than just it being a mindless escape. With IRL kink - whenever I get back into it - I want to explore this a lot more too.

To me, “being big” is about effortless and unwavering confidence - big dick energy, or literally being “the bigger person” - not about power. Because if you have confidence in yourself, no matter where you are and what you’re doing, you have complete power over yourself, which is something that can’t be taken from you by anyone or anything. It is the ultimate “alpha” move. Any dumb idiot can get mad, anyone can hurt and lash out and abuse, especially a stranger or someone smaller. But it takes a metaphorical giant to not lose themselves to a petty situation. A metaphorical giant isn’t bothered by the little people and the little problems around them: they have the power to remain detached, to walk away. I’ve always been more interested in the stories of giants and the people brave enough to accept and love them rather than the stories of shrinkers for that reason.

It’s exciting to me because that’s a real thing, that’s not something that I can only indulge in secret on the weekends, it’s something to bring with me into my actual lived life. It’s something to bring into real sex with real people. It’s a real way to be a dominant and build relationships. The fetishy stuff is great fun, don’t get me wrong, but the particulars of this or that exact way of stomping on a city or doing cockvore come second, they’re the window dressing to the core of the kink for me, which will always be that question of “how does one wield power in this fucked up world?”

@HHunter1 of course I’ll attempt to drag the 10ft bear around as well but I’m sure I won’t get very far lol a bed is an excellent idea

@littlest-lily 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m a switch, but I still get pretty pissed off when people want me to be big for them while I’m feeling small (and vice versa).

Always loved the thought of keeping a little toy and having such little regard for their life and that I don’t care about ending their life…but not wanting to waste a broken toy, so I use some sort of magic to bring them back to life to use and abuse once more.

People and tinies alike seem to think the worst thing you can do to someone when they’re shrunk is to kill them the one time, and I think it’s much more fun to bring them back and do it over and over and over again.

Besides, if it’s ever accidental (when the micro is under three inches, it’s just bound to happen eventually) I don’t have to worry about losing a valued toy. I can just bring them back, good as new, and ready to get used for some other depraved giant purpose.

@TakoAlice8 playing Mario 64 on a theater sized screen would be tight

Yeah, this is me too. No interest in normal sized or giant women, but if they’re small why shouldn’t I tease and taunt them too?

@TakoAlice8 You are so so kind, thank you for those lovely words ❤

I’m also not sure if this helps… But another thing that I’m realizing has helped me is that I have a friend who is on the SM side - he thinks SW are cute but would much rather be tiny himself. And he is JUST as bothered by judgy GTS fans as we are and also thinks there should be more variety in content. It helps me to hear that kind of thing from him and know that the toxicity comes from a very loud minority.

@SallyFourth I suspect fear is an important element of the experience.

@Olo Now since I think about it, I agree with what you said, that your not waiting for size to be mainstream. I guess it would be a bad thing since you also said it would be exploited by capitalism. I thought this may be an interesting topic to dwelve in because I feel as if the size community has become so much over the past years. I also wanted to try and predict where this community is headed. You are right about how there is no single size community.

I really wish I knew about How I Got My Shrunken Head episode on the Goosebumps show, mostly the ending. I didn’t see it until a few years later, I did the 3 parter with the kinda shrinking?

@TakoAlice8 I don’t mind answering this at all; in fact, thanks for asking.

It is my understanding that the term “switch” is used in Size discussions analogously to the way it is used in BDSM circles, where it means someone who is equally able to perform either the dom role or the sub role. I don’t engage in roleplay, but as a Size writer (including banter on Size forums) I enjoy “performing” equally as a Male Giant and as a Shrunken Man. In that sense I would say I am indeed a “size switch.”

However, I prefer to keep these two personae separate, Tol Olo and Smol Olo, if you will. I have no interest in performing as a character who can become both giant and tiny. Each persona has a Size orientation that is fixed and passionate. When I am on Daddy’s Dollhouse, I am always Tol Olo; if you forget that you’re going in my pocket (or my mouth).

Any hardy souls who have managed to slog through my interminable blog posts might remember that I have not always been equally comfortable in both roles. While my earliest memories of Size feelings were about having tiny women in my grasp or my mouth, once puberty hit I was all about becoming tiny myself and falling into a giant woman’s clutches. I violently repressed any and all shrunken woman fantasies as, if not misogynistic, at least regressive. It wasn’t until about nine years ago that I finally let myself embrace my SW fantasies. The main catalyst for this was years of observing and listening to female M/f fans share (and write and draw) what Size means to them.

Consequently, I’m committed to the notion that being exposed to different Size orientations and configurations than what one prefers expands and solidifies one’s understanding of what Size can be, leading to a deeper appreciation of one’s own preferences. I know for certain that it has made me a better Size writer, learning what pushes other people’s buttons.

I guess that’s why I’m proud to be a size switch.
