Mini-giants

@tiny-ivy
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.
All my M/f stories and discussions can be found here.

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?
-
@i-am-insane My theory is why mini giants are less common is because mini giants usually are big enough and small enough make the smaller person look like a child. And that may make people afraid they may associate with the wrong people. I know that, and size kinks are extremely different things. But despite that, people don’t want to risk being associated with the unspeakable.
This is not fact, it’s all just my opinion.
Just chillin down here.
Also I only feel comfortable with being tiny.

That’s a really good point that I didn’t even want to bring up, but it’s true. Age play is my biggest squick and some mini-giant descriptions revel in this, or at least bring this up in my associations.

pokes head in
Yeah the minigiant range is where I live now - believably big dudes with believably dainty women. It’s why I don’t really play in the SW/GT world anymore, it’s just run of the mill #SizeDifference for me these days!
Olo’s 7" man with the proportions of a 5’9" dude is the protagonist of my current scifi romcom graphic novel, actually. So it’s not just where I live, it’s where I’ve build my damn house haha.

if im being honest, i much prefer minigiants. i’ll geek out to a 8ft tall guy much more than a 50ft tall one (geek out to both though)
