@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?

@BigGrumpy It’s nice to have roles for open DMs/ask to DM/No DM. As well as Ping Friendly/Ping Unfriendly. Aside from that, the normal gender identifiers and sexuality identifiers help.

I’d be interested in joining when it’s ready. 🤭

@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.

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 definitely agree with @blehb when it comes to my ideal giant kind of changing with my mood. Most of the time my ideal giant is a very chill and kind guy. I like to imagine he keeps my interests in mind and takes good care of me but can be a bit forgetful or unaware at times. :giant: I will say however, I sometimes like to imagine a mean giant but they are never cruel. A good example for me would be Seto Kaiba from Yugioh, where he is mean and picks on people but is never outright cruel.

@Malf Hi, I’m on outsized too. I am not a furry exactly but I do appreciate your people’s culture.

@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.
