@foreverlurk An all powerful giant can be exciting sometimes, but I think it’s much more interesting for him to have flaws and insecurities and vulnerable moments and all that jazz

I realize it’s almost the antithesis of the kink but I like when power shifts back and forth between G and t (only possible if love or at least gentleness is involved in the scenario).

Different kinds of power, of course. She could never have any physical control, but she probably holds more sway over him overall than the casual observer might notice at first.

@Mrgoblinging7 Well first off when I was young I thought all imaginations were like that? I don’t know, it’s just one of the things you realize growing up that you have, like having a perfect pitch, or being able to hold a beat, or being colour-blind. You think it’s the same for everyone at first.

For sure this has caused me issues… it’s hard to let go when you can revisit moments in your memory, and re-experience them vividly, especially of times when you were happier. Might explain my tendency towards nostalgia, and why I still remember detailed stuff from childhood.

It also means I’m at the mercy of some fiction authors lol. If I really like what I’m reading, I go all in and view those scenes in my head. If it’s something really fucked up, I am NOT okay afterwards. But I still wouldn’t want to be rid of it. I’m just highlighting the cons.

Antidepressants somewhat tinker with hyperphantasia btw (along with a shit load of other things), makes memories and feelings more neutered and colourless. But hey, at least you don’t spend your day crying in a corner so that’s a plus, right?

@skysayl that’s the fun part, if he sees she’s about to win, just pick her up, disorient her and drop her somewhere else in the maze.

Truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

Fascinated, Silas said, “God, I’ve had dreams about this.”

Ugh, me too, Silas. Me too.

You know, I’m usually more into shrinking stories but this has soo many elements I like - namely battle mechs, hehe.

@blehb I saw Arrietty as a grown ass 20-something and it blew my mind. I’m such a sucker for impossible or forbidden love stories. I’m never fully comfortable watching sizey stuff with other people, even to this day.

It’s a line I want to cross but I can’t bring myself to do it.

Same. I suck at this so much. I don’t want to wallow up in self-pity again, but me being a dom cishet male in my 40s brings a whole lot of bonus difficulty to opening up (perceived or real), that some in the “it’s-no-big-deal” crowd might not have to account for.

Or maybe that’s just my excuse ¯_ (ツ)_/¯

I mean, folks don’t tend to post their L’s online, but I’ve had some private conversations with people who “came out” to their partners about their size kink and things went horribly wrong. You don’t really hear about those, but it’s always a possibility.

(Chlo I’m sure you’ll be fine, please don’t mind me)

Holy crap there’s something huge back there (not talking about the giant himself, but err…)

That being said IRL naturists are usually the chillest, most respectful people I’ve met. That guy is breaking about all the “laws” of nude beaches lol.

@skysayl Right?! They don’t know the pain of being geo blocked. Maybe we should get someone in the US to stream it for us over Discord or something, and have a watch party!

@blehb said in Watching Others Watch Size:

I think Minami-kun works so well because the goal is to get Chiyomi back to her normal size, so general audiences are rooting for their relationship knowing that.

Of course, I was rooting for her to remain tiny. That’s why I love the 2004 version were she stays small but they are together and well at the end.

@blehb said in Watching Others Watch Size:

I’ve said this before on here, but the very few people I have mentioned this to described it as “adorable”.

It’s funny because the 3D artist I commissioned recently didn’t know about the size kink at all (to my surprise, I must say - based on her portfolio I thought otherwise). I had to explain the basics and her reaction was similar - it’s “cute”. Umm, I left out some details, of course.

@SmolChlo said in Watching Others Watch Size:

I’m always down for a sizey chat with normies

Haha you’re just built differently, Chlo. I wish I had just half your confidence when striking up conversation: “Hey ladies, so… wanna shrink to three inches tall tonight?”

As Big G mentionned, any very short (5’2" and under) women can trigger spontaneous sizey thoughts. Even taller ones, depending on the vibe - yes, she’s hot, but what if smol

Otherwise it’s the most random things - a woman wearing an oversized piece of clothing, or struggling to reach the top shelf at the grocery store. Or just using an everyday expression (ie. “I’d like to be as small as a mouse to hear what they said in that meeting!”)

My mind wanders.

@skysayl said in I found a crumb of M/f in a manga:

There was even a macrophile they interviewed who imagined herself as a tiny mouse to hide from everything that frightened her.

Such an interesting subject! I’ve recently had a discussion on the origins of our kink with a woman telling me almost the same thing verbatim - a way to deal with fears and trauma. There seems to be a good degree of correlation with anxiety overall.

Don’t know about other microphiles, I’ve mentioned before that one place it could stem from is extreme shyness. Social phobia wasn’t taken as seriously back then, especially in children (“oh it’s just a phase, it’ll pass”). I guess the thought of shrinking others, making myself bigger in some situations, might have been an internal coping mecanism?

The desire to protect (or control ) is harder to pinpoint - I always loved taking care of smaller animals, or looking after my younger siblings. Beyond that, I think I felt like I lacked control in my life - so having control over another smaller person could have been projection on my part.

Rendering someone helpless and harmless (ie. shrinking) meant I could approach her in spite of said shyness, annnd also act as caretaker. Don’t know if this makes any sense? How all this also became a kink, I’m at a complete loss to explain beyond “hurr durr, me wants tiny woman”

I have to say the aspect I love the most is shrinking - the actual process itself has always been as enjoyable to me as the aftermath. Seeing girls shrink in cartoons as a child was one of my first awakening experiences to the fantasy. I would replay in my mind the scenes, that’s why even to this day I love shrinking to be a rather slow, gradual thing.

I’m hopeless in the number of times I’ve imagined using shrink rays on unsuspecting victims…

Primary school teacher? SHRINK.
Girl I had a crush on in 8th grade? ZAP.
Woman who intimidates me? FIRE.
Cute co-worker? DOWN SHE GOES.

Thank god they couldn’t read my mind.

You seem to have had some pretty good experiences in RP, which I can’t really relate to. Maybe I haven’t been lucky, or probably I just suck at RP? I realized I simply can’t play the cruel giant, that’s not me. I can be playful, teasing, a bit rough or somewhat blissfully unaware of the fear I can cause, sure. But I love tinies too much to hurt them. Yeah I know the whole noncon shrinking is borderline and contradicts what I just said lol

Nowadays I’d much rather indulge in well-written fiction - the community has sooo many talented people.

@miss-lillipants Thanks for sharing that article. Sadly, I’ve yet to see some in-depth research done specifically for size kinks (we don’t talk about Dr. Helen Friedman).

I agree there’s no be-all / end-all explanation to their origin, I’m not trying to find a universal truth. I’d just like to understand myself better.

@blehb said in A slightly evil scenario:

Or have her get smaller with every sneeze.

I love shrinking triggers like this. It’s fun when the shrinking is out of the SW’s direct control, but even more fun when it’s just slightly out of her control, ie.

• Shrinking when feeling a specific emotion (embarrassed/sad)
• Shrinking when in contact with something (rain/water)
• Shrinking when hearing a specific word (“shrink!”)
• Shrinking when turned on.

Things like these are less on the nose than shrink rays or potions, and the unpredicability of her size change is chef’s kiss to me. Getting tiny at the worst best possible time…

@Olo I can still tell pretty easily, but then again I’ve spent hundreds of hours generating content and my eyes can spot the telltales of generative AI.

I do love the way you describe them as being statistically generated - a much better term IMHO, closer to reality (Markov Chain).
