@AnnDViant If it’s a visual novel, survival can depend solely en choices. Mechanics for other kind of games can include a series of Warioware style micro games, quick time events like licking, moaning, and doing everything to convince the giant to keep the player alive. Every time the small one fails a micro games, they lose a life, until game over.

@BigCuddlyGiant I love rampaging giant audio. Cruel, destructive, humiliation, sounds of chaos 🙂

Do not take anything I say as mental health advice. Work with a trusted therapist who is accountable to you and you can be open with.

That being said, labels on feelings can help us feel like we are in control, especially when we’ve felt out of control for a long time, but they can also become our identities.

Fantasies help us manage and escape that. Even JRR Tolkien defended fairy stories (though he didn’t mean smut it still applies) as a way for a prisoner to look out through the bars.

I have plenty of problems (autistic, if you want one label) but I had the good fortune to be born in a time with thousands of stories, every one of them is an extra lifetime that I wouldn’t have gotten to live.

I’ve read so many books and so many short stories and every single time I dive in and become someone new and live in their world for a while. Much less expensive than going to Disneyland.

You can call it a cope. My life doesn’t suck, but I had terrible tragedy in it. I’ve seen some horrible things. But I don’t treat my many lives as cope, but as the kaleidoscope of me that’s gotten to live all those thousand lifetimes while only having one to spend.

@BigCuddlyGiant That’s very helpful, thankyou!

@TakoAlice8 don’t worry, you’re fine :3

Yeah, they definitely didn’t have children in mind when they came up with these shitty laws. If we all understand this much, we must stop getting mixed up in debates about what underage users should be allowed to access. We shouldn’t even acknowledge this deceptive justification for their coordinated mass-surveillance laws.

They start with the age-old excuse of monitoring porn sites before slowly creeping their dirty fingers into every other aspect of our digital lives. It’s the first stepping stone to normalize future more invasive policies.

I genuinely hate the future we’re heading to with all my guts… I hope this will at least incentivize more developers to look into decentralized Web 3.0 alternatives that are much more difficult to control, censor or monitor by a single government or company.

Mastodon said a couple months ago that enforcing age verification is essentially impossible given the decentralized nature of their technology. Maybe a site migration to a decentralized forum might be necessary in the future?

@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. 🤭

@ilikehotmatcha a fellow cultured artist 🤝

I mean, that’s absolutely a fetish in a general sense. I might even say it’s common, even, considering what I know about female erotic stories and the like. I’ve found an almost certainly female author making stories about women cheerfully getting mind fucked into someone just as powerless to resist their owners as a shrunken women is, and a sort of shared universe literally called ‘Human Domestication Guide’, where the main characters are made into obedient pets by invading, well meaning aliens, so… yeah.

If you’re into it, willing, and consenting, then it’s not ‘unwilling’ in the meaningful, rape-y sense, which is rather the point where that gets awkward, morally. Hell if it’s just a story or a fantasy, then there’s no one real at all to be concerned about, and RPs aren’t real (unless you’re actually shrinking? 😏 ) so even if a ‘giant’ ‘steps on you’ you’re not actually getting stepped on by a giant foot, so… what’s the harm?

Honestly, I’ve always found it more concerning the other way around, since then you’re actually doing the wrong thing. The same logic applies there, of course, but I’ve always had problems emotionally accepting the logic about my own desires, so it’s not like I don’t get what you’re talking about.

@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.

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.

Nope no tags on iPhone but I do see tags on iPad

A great aspect of it I haven’t seen mentioned yet for insertions is how is a really cool way how it makes the tiny seem even smaller. A tiny being so small just one part of a giant (their cock, vagina, boobs etc.) is so big the tiny has to treat it like another giant that wants to squish or eat them. It makes the actual giant in the situation seem so much above the tiny while they struggle against one part of them, and i really like that :3

@TakoAlice8 I go by Gulliver rules. Whoever is the “normal” size is not the big or the small one.

Mixed size societies still tend to have areas that are specialized for one size or the other.

Tangent: There was very little sexy about Zootopia to me, overall more cute and funny than anything, but the depiction of the shrew or mouse city that there’s a chase scene in kind of got my imagination going about what that would be like with tiny humans…just as a normal part of a city.

A jar just traps a tiny, but it gives them no privacy and no coziness. It’s not shelter. It’s a prison, fit for a mere object or for a curiosity.

Yup, jars are for callous-to-cruel custodians.

However, I get the need to be able to see your tiny at all times. Might I suggest a terrarium? It can be furnished, including separate areas for watering, feeding, and toileting.

My ideal setup would have the terrarium on an extendible bookshelf that can be rolled back inside the shelving unit with a retractable front panel when concealment is necessary. When extended, the terrarium would be next to my desk chair with the top level with my desktop so I could keep an eye on her/them while I work.

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

@BigGrumpy Thanks for letting me know

@TakoAlice8 Hey! To be honest my focus is shrunken women, but I’m really looking for insight into size fetish in general. So, by all means, feel free to answer however you like and it would be appreciated greatly!
