@littlest-lily He grows to be 3 storeys tall! Thus the title. What I saw was that he meets his love when he’s only 7ft, then keeps growing over the course of his adulthood.

@SillyLilBug I haven’t reached it yet but I’m pretty sure it’s a (possibly unmissable?) story beat in Act 2.

I found this comic this week (saw it in a shop, but couldn’t take it with me where I was, so put in an online order for delivery - so sadly I haven’t read it yet). It sounds positively delightful - the life story of a boy who simply doesn’t stop growing, and soon becomes the world-famous Giant Man. From what I can tell, it’s also a love story (“falls in love at 7 feet,” I saw), so very excited for that!

Was first published in 2009 and republished in 2018 so it’s very likely some of you are already familiar with this, but it was a wonderful discovery for me. Keen to get my hands on it when it arrives!

“don’t stand in his way!”

I have thought about this a lot, and honestly, I don’t think the kink/relationship aspect will ever catch on “mainstream” for the simple fact that paraphilias are overwhelmingly abstract at the best of times. Furries are incredibly easy to understand at a glance. There’s no fursuit equivalent for being big or small, sadly. It requires too much imagination, too much… explanation, as to the appeal of it, for it to take off in the same way that simple anthropomorphisation did. It’s relatively easy to explain why you wanna get fucked by a werewolf - since both the “fucked” part and the “werewolf” part are pretty well understood already.

But I do think there’s room for it to be explored differently in media. Giants and tinies have been featured across so many mediums and genres for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, but stories that attempt to take it seriously are extremely rare, insofar as none of them, to my recollection, have broken through into mainstream. I think that’s where change is most possible - in taking ideas that already exist in a lot of fiction, and adjusting the tone to be more mature, introspective, philosophical… more adult, leaning away from the traditional fantasy and sci-fi tropes (as much as I do love them). To take the idea of giants away from fairytales, or shrinking away from superheroes, and have the dynamics of size differences portrayed through a mature lens. There are examples of this already, but there’s so much room for more.

Then again, that’s not probably even the kind of content that will make macrophilia “mainstream” - I guess we’re waiting on a more populist Fifty Shades of Grey sort of thing? Which does kind of disgust me, honestly, since the mass appeal of Fifty Shades absolutely came at the cost of misrepresenting the core tenets of ethical BDSM. Hmm. Maybe we shouldn’t be encouraging this, huh…

This is absolutely one of my favourite things!!!

@TakoAlice8 A GameBoy Micro as big as a TV!!

@i-am-insane Yup, I call myself demisexual (or grey ace) for this reason. I have zero interest in sex of pretty much any variation, but being held in a giant hand? Orgasmic. (I do find myself attracted to people, I’m not aromantic or sex repulsed, but I never imagine what it’s like to kiss or fuck anyone I crush on… rather, I always imagine them towering over me.)

Part of me wants to answer this question like, “I don’t need any items… my master will provide for me…”

…and the other part is screaming, “if I don’t get any Nintendo games to play I will chew his fingers off”

A quick one-off comic page of a scenario I’m very much fond of…

Not long ago I realised that this is a problem with pornography on the whole. Straight men are always the presumed audience, so that’s where all the money and effort goes. Then as interests get more niche and granular, you run into the same problem tenfold - women are largely disregarded within a largely disregarded paraphilia.

I try my best to address the balance (though I’m largely selfish - I make art of the stuff I want to see more of). But it’s depressing to think about how much of an uphill climb it will likely always be within our culture on the whole.

I’m a switch, but I still get pretty pissed off when people want me to be big for them while I’m feeling small (and vice versa).

Thankyou for sharing this!
