What is your earliest memory of having this fetish?

@living_ghost I would cry too if I turned into a Giantess I’d probably start a flood lol
Being tiny and kept safe is pure bliss to me

Probably Peter Pan spanking Tinker Bell to shower fairy dust on Wendy, John and Michael. As well as the tiny, twin Cosmos from the original Mothra, Attack of the Puppet People, Princess Jana struggling naked in El Kerim’s hand, Kathryn Grant shrinking in Seventh Voyage of Sinbad and of course Fay Wray in the 1933 King Kong pretty much got me started.

That would be watching king kong (1976) with my dad. The first time I watched it I enjoyed it so much and couldn’t really understand why, I watched it repeatedly through the years and once I got a computer I looked it up learning about the behind-the-scenes, and soon found myself falling through the rabbit hole of all things kong. I really enjoyed seeing a tiny woman in the hands of the giant so I wrote that exact line into google and found the macrophilia community!

@SmolChlo definitely, would love to keep a tiny lady safe and pampered all the time. Treat her like a princess as I’m sure she’d reward her giant prince handsomely.

SmolChlo

@living_ghost oh of course! I’m sure she would be very eager to please her Giant Prince

@TeenyAngie sounds like you and I have a very similar origin story! kong 1976 was a HUGE influence on me, as it began my desire to have a woman literally in the palm of my hand, but also my weakness for tiny blondes!

@Olo what movie is that picture from

Olo

@TakoAlice8 That still is from the television series Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Season 6, Episode 3, “Frog Day Afternoon”.

@Olo yes that is one of the cartoons I remember when I was younger and was like that seemed very appealing. But like the first thing that I remember was Land of the Giants I loved Valorie so much she was my crush.

@Olo Thanks, I remember watching Captain Planet when I was young

Sorry for the necro but I never commented on this, I think this fetish I had for almost 15-20 years? I’m now 33.

Blame Gen V for me being more talkative and in the community more lately.

But my origins range from Ferngully and Tinker Bell but also

The 1999-2000 Hallmark Alice in Wonderland and seeing that version of Alice shrink.
Honey I Blew Up The Kid with the babysitter who I had a crush on and somehow with that microsecond of her shrunk at the end started something.
Strange Days at Blake Holsey High for sure I think was the gasoline.

And finding Minimizer’s site an the SW Archive of links at 13-14 at my uncles house. It really exploded my fetish.

And here we are.

Well, I’m not even going to try being original with my origin story… it’s King Kong 1976. I was around 6 or 7 when it randomly aired on TV, and it unlocked my desire for tiny girls.

A vivid memory from the day right after : the neighbor (girl, my age) and I talked about seeing the movie, and somehow we decided to recreate the scene where King Kong blows air on Dwan. I climbed a tree in front of her house, about 10 feet up. Sitting on a branch, I closed one eye and put my palm in front of me, looking down at her on the ground and pretending to be “holding” her in my palm. She played along, acting the part, and while of course this was purely innocent, my young mind was blown and I still remember that childhood moment.

Also in Quebec we had access to a lot of weird French and Japanese cartoons that featured shrinking, I always hoped for episodes w/ shrinking girls. It was a common trope for 80s/90s cartoons.

@foreverlurk Heh, you’ve unlocked a memory from my childhood… I remember playing on the playground with a couple of friends and somehow we fell into the whole hand-perspective thing. They’d pretend to “hold” me in their hand and then hold up a gap between their fingers like “you look THIS small to me.” Then I’d back up from them and they’d do it again “now you look THIS small!” I kept backing up until I was on the other side of the soccer field and presumably looked like a speck on their hand, and then after I ran back there were many exclamations of “wow, you were so tiny!!”

I think this memory makes me happy because 1) I love the whole shrinking smaller and smaller to micro sizes thing and 2) sometimes as a kid I’d get paranoid that I was bothering friends with too many shrinking games, but in this case they were really engaged, and I love it when the giant is just as excited about the size difference as I am.

Like you, it was all innocent at the time, but it was definitely formative!

Whoa, wait - shrinking games? You had those, too?! OMG my poor normie friends were subjected sooo many times to my pretend games of shrinking. I stopped bringing them up when I started to get the feeling they were on to me. Children have such amazing interior worlds and imagination!

I’m amazed how common all our stories are - even from the other gender/size of things. Incredible I thought for so long I was the only one, and that there was something profundly wrong with me.

The most I ever dared do was to slip some Size into our D&D campaigns. I was very sparing lest they figure it out. Perhaps three times over twenty years or so.
