@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.

@HHunter1 More interesting points are that in standard art it’s commonly accepted that a body should be 7.5-8 times the ratio of the head for regular proportioning, but comic book artists normally draw superheroes as 9 heads scale for the body to make the character look bigger and more buff. With the advent of female superheroes I’d guess that had a lot to do with Amazons being larger. Also, I’d guess the patriarchy had a hand. You’d be surprised by how many submissive men I’ve spoken with that blithely assumed that if they ever rebelled against a FemDomme it would be no contest. So it was almost a necessity that Dominant Women become taller and more muscular so men would take their authority seriously. As I write this, it’s just occurring to me that I wonder if this had anything to do with the fascination with midget wrestling. Tiny people fighting seems almost counter-intuitive in our society. Even more so, this makes me think of the fascination with Bruce Lee.

@tiny-ivy Thank you for sharing your experience! Imagining myself as a giantess is an interesting idea; I’m not fully sure if I like it or not. Another thing to explore I suppose!
& thank you! Your post in the Size Writer’s Discord reminded me of this place, and I figured I should sign up before I forget it again lol. I’m looking forward to posting here!

@jngr1 Welcome! I just got here too! & I don’t think any of that’s an anomaly; that sounds pretty normal tbh! Thanks for putting yourself out there!

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.”

@wompwomp5566 I never heard of such a concept, but I like it. I hope to use this in my art.

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.

@i-am-insane All of the above. I am greedy. 😝 It honestly depends on my mood, or sometimes I will really like an idea and dwell on it for a while.

I will say that I like certain personalities for certain types of giants. For crueler I like them to be playful, arrogant, and enjoying themselves. For gentler I like the giant to be more cautious and the tiny to be more assertive. Unaware can go either way for me, as long as the giant ends up becoming aware of the tiny eventually.

@TakoAlice8 we are just microbes on a petri dish of the universe

Thanks everyone for the kind comments.

@TakoAlice8 Oh, cool to see some overlap between sites.

@TakoAlice8 oh yeah, it’s hard not to think about skyscraper sized dudes when walking through a crowded city. It’s a great reference point for my imagination.

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

(Edit: found where the story is posted 😆 )

They broke the rules but as far as I can tell it hasn’t effected any one else at this point so unless someone comes forward to put in a complaint I see no reason they can’t stay. Plus they seem genuinely remorseful for what they did so I’m leaving it up to them to decide what happens or until something more develops

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!

@TakoAlice8 I’ve joined! It’s still in its early stages, but it seems like lots of people are involved in helping it ramp up. I’m optimistic of its growth 🙂
