Mini-giants
-
I’ve just realized that there’s not really a lot of mini-giants, like, at all. Either women are shrunk really small, or men end up really big; there’s never any just past human size men, or actually the height of a small child women (for anything that’s not part of a transition to a smaller size, anyways).
And it’s kind of weird when I think about it? I don’t even look for it, but you see tons of it when you gender flip it. I don’t know, it just feels off to me and I don’t know why. I’m kind of wondering if this is part of the ‘women with monster-fucker fetish’ thing, where werewolves or whatever can reach that ‘big but can still fit in a building’ size.

I mean…You see tons of EVERYTHING when you gender flip it because of how UNBELIEAVABLY outnumbered M/f pairings are to F/m pairings. Including this.
I am recently enjoying this size range more…
There is a chapter of the story I recently posted, “The Whale and the Ocean,” that has a mini-giant scene. It’s a way too long story, more romance than kink - just skip to chapter 8 if you want that scene.
While writing it, I started thinking more about all of the implications of that size, and I keep on getting more ideas for that size, that I want to write about later. One good point: can be hidden behind closed doors. For a grower, no bursting through buildings means no unwanted attention from onlookers.
I also started thinking about veeery subtle size changes - like changing size just enough for your partner to notice, but not the people around you. Something a size shifter could do in public just to turn them on or mess with them.

I’ll admit, the main reason I thought of it is I’m rolling around an idea in that kind of vein as well (seventh son unwanted noble goes off to explore the world and has to come back when he’s the only child left for a political marriage, but he grows while he’s gone).But, oof. You had to hit on the big point like that, didn’t you? The sheer lack of M/f content compared to others hurts.

From a kink POV almost all of the mini-giants I see tend to be more M/m. But if you look at media in general I feel like they’re actually relatively common. Size is used a lot to convey if someone is superhuman or godly or something. The two examples I think of right away are Warhammer and Halo.
Also I don’t read a lot of romance novels, but I know its a running joke that the authors will make the female lead as tiny as possible and the male lead as tall as possible. Makes me wonder how that audience would react to more extreme size difference.

I think there’s room for people just ever so slightly unnaturally large. 7-footers are rare but they’re not unheard of. What most people expect to see when they look at a 7-footer is someone who is seven feet long. That’s markedly different than, say, a 5’9" dude proportionally enlarged to 7’0" in height. That person is going to get double-takes from everyone, but no one will be able to confidently say “that’s unnatural.”
Bigger than that and you have a guy who will have real difficulty navigating the built environment and will provoke people to call the authorities.

Yeah, but just over the normal possible size is just the start of the mini tier. I’ll see people twice the size of a normal person being called a mini-giantess, not just a weirdly tall person compared to a weirdly short one, trouble using normal things often deliberately included.
It’s interesting to me because you can hit a sweet spot of having a lot of giant stuff, being able to break things, unstoppable, but still able to enjoy a lot of modern conveniences without breaking suspension of belief when it comes to clothes and such existing.

@i-am-insane This is what I think of when I hear She-Hulk being called “the Jade Giantess.” Weird how no one calls The Hulk “a giant,” huh?
