What are your favorite types of relationships to see in size content?

[littlest-lily]

Oooo such a good question and I love seeing the responses! I do enjoy quite a variety. A romantic relationship is at the top for me, but I do love me some sweet platonic friendships too. Or for the giant to be in a more villainous role, though I don’t have any interest in giants seeing the tinies as disposable (maybe as a threat, but actual death is a total turnoff for me).

Weirdly I’m not as much into existing couples dealing with shrinking, usually because the content I’ve seen where that is the case tends to be rather sad? But I’d be totally open to exploring that, I’ve got a couple of stories on the ol’ idea list with that premise. And it’s definitely what I would go for if we’re talking a bit more realistic - I’d love for me and my partner to explore the possibilities of a shrink ray!

I think the biggest thing for me when it comes to stories is wanting some form of a happy ending. I think that’s why I tend to gravitate towards gentle stories - a couple that forms despite the size differences, the journey of learning to trust, the beauty of them figuring out how to be together and make it work. That gets a little trickier when it comes to me wanting to explore my darker side too with noncon/dubcon scenarios. If the ending is just “she died” or “she was his slave for the rest of her life” it sorta leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But I’m a sucker for redemption arcs and rescue fantasies and the like. 🥰 And I guess there’s something to be said for fleeting moments as opposed to full fledged stories. A picture of a giant looming over his victim threateningly with a smirk on his face is absolutely up my alley, no matter what their relationship is (and then I just don’t really think about the potential bad ending there).

I think my very favorites are gentle domestic stories between a giant and a woman who is maybe 1 or 2 feet tall. I love a naturally subby woman who easily falls into the pet role and sort of follows her giant around, nuzzling his legs or sitting in his lap. I like scenarios where she’s big enough to cuddle and sort of live as his personal dress up doll/fidget toy/fleshlight

I also like the idea of a scientist who falls in love with a giant that she’s researching. I like the idea of her being a gentle and loving caretaker to a giant and melting his heart in kind of a beauty and the beast scenario.

I also enjoy maybe a six inch tall borrower or fairy type who’s never met a male person of any kind before and when she sees a human man for the first time she sort of spies on him out of curiosity and finds herself trying to figure out her new feelings before getting caught because she couldn’t resist getting right next to him

That’s a very good question.

I’m mostly into gentle stuff, but overall the nature of their initial relationship is less important to me than the way they adapt to their size difference. Of course starting as pure strangers/blank slate is easier, and can lead through all the stages of friendship and beyond. But a married couple dynamic could be interesting, ie. shrinking her as a way to spice up their sex life after years of marriage, etc. They both have to live through the ups and downs, struggles of G/t love with all the bittersweet moments that can happen.

@skysayl Stop, you are literally reading my mind. Everything you wrote, everything, that’s what I want. Triggers my saviour fetish, even if I have to be the cause and solution to her size “problems”, hehe. Must protecc her tiny, fragile existence.

@foreverlurk I won’t stop and you can’t make me!

Well I can certainly think of a few ways but they all involve a shrink ray which I’m sadly lacking right now.

(The truth is, don’t stop, I love those scenarios sooo much)

[The Big G]

Well I do love a married couple suddenly facing a new dynamic dose her lack of size compared to him change how they see each other dose she feel inferior dose he feel superior. Also like the frenemies set up like one is cast upon the other or is shrunk or grown and then forced to co exist starting out adverse then falling for each other. As for getting rid of the tiny woman why even if I could shrink more I’d still keep the rest but I think plays into my harem fantasies like gotta catch em all.

Enemies to lovers all the way ~ Here’s where’s my typical size fantasy changes up a little bit. A setting where Giants/Titans control everything including humans. I want my Giant to literally hate humans with every fiber of his massive being. They are less than servants to him, bugs helplessly stumbling at his powerful feet. When he’s feeling bored they serve enough of a purpose to entertain and somewhat satisfy his carnal pleasure but he finds them to be useless and a complete nuisance for the most part (I get so giddy when their mean)
I also enjoy when the personalities are completely opposite so this frightening/cruel titan of a man paired with the most precious, delicate and submissive of all the tinies. Now I’ve imagined numerous scenarios on how they meet but usually she’s assigned to be his new maid (the last maid is now a stain under his mighty boot )

They meet. She’s terrified and he’s significantly annoyed. He’s even more annoyed at how adorable he finds her to be
… but pretty soon he’s finds himself trying to be careful when walking around his room while his new maid sweeps the barely visible crumbs

@SmolChlo I love this scenario so much!

[SmolChlo]

@Nyx real talk It’s how I fall asleep every night!

oh excuse me big daddy don’t mind me while I sweep around your boots

[giantmaneddie]

You guys already added what I was thinking of and a dynamic similar to Salt + Pepper or when the tiny ends up the dominator of the couple.

A tiny women leading her big to do the chores and everything while the big obliges.

[littlest-lily]

@giantmaneddie OPE I need to make more comics where she’s doing stuff for his sake, I didn’t realize she was coming off as the “dominator” But I guess what’s interesting about that is that is that in a situation where a big/tiny couple see each other as equals, that might lend itself to the smaller one having the bigger personality to compensate

[littlest-lily]

@SmolChlo I would love to read a good enemy to lovers story!! I feel like oftentimes in traditional media with enemy to lovers I’m left wondering “so what do they even like about each other…?” and find that very distracting. But if they can make me believe in the relationship then it’s a dynamic I find very compelling.

[SmolChlo]

@littlest-lily maybe I’ll write one in the future but there’s a lot on DA if you’re genuinely interested! I’m a firm believer and very much into the whole opposites attract thing. Characters with too much in common can be predictable and a little boring but to each their own

But it can also be interesting to see how two strangers would react to size differences. For example, a man riding home on the subway and finding a shrunken woman hiding underneath one of the seats. How does he react? How does she? Can they learn to trust each other? I like going through those questions, regardless of whether the scenario is gentle or cruel.

This is such a great point to make! One of the most thrilling aspects of size content is that first introduction. Of course, you can write any type of relationship to have any response, but with strangers you could be in for anything and you won’t know what to expect.

For me, the size scenario an opportunity to build trust, rapport, reliance and/or dependence, etc. between the giant and tiny. So particularly for gentler fluffy stories, it comes almost naturally.

That seems to be a very common sentiment for people who love gentle/strangers scenarios- a growing relationship that stems from the size difference itself. Which is exactly what I mean when I say I love seeing a married couple “fall in love again”. It’s like they’re thrust into a completely new relationship but still adore the person for who they are.

That’s something I never realized but it’s true, isn’t it? Even in my story ideas with married couples there tends to be a bit of tragedy that it focuses on. I do love the sadder stories though, they tend to really stick with me. But I need a couple dozen happy or smutty stories in between so I don’t get too upset.

And I agree 100% about the endings to crueler stories. It’s something I really struggle to conclude in my own ideas. I’m fine with a cruel ending if it’s a short story, but if it’s something that is multiple chapters and I’m invested in it, it doesn’t feel like the best pay-off. Of course, it totally depends on the author’s talents as well! I definitely don’t write it off completely.

I tend to prefer a tiny victory as the ending. Where they escape or take down the giant. Gives one the opportunity to write a clever tiny which is so much fun!
