@GoddessAngela and that’s perfectly fine!

What’s not is telling M/f content creators that they should do giantess or shrunken men content instead, and not respect their preferred size dynamics.

New gameplay demo just dropped:

Sadly (for me) no way to play as the giant.
No multiplayer.
No VR.

@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.

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.

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 I can’t believe that bemoaning the lack of f4M size audio would actually pay off one day I’m so grateful and I’ve already told you how much I loved it. It’s so wholesome and sweet.

@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?”

@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-am-insane ‘minigirl’ is pretty common for manga/manhwa, hentai and other Asian media, but hasn’t caught on anywhere else. Not having a single, easy word for “tiny woman” has been a problem for finding content since forever, made even worse by the enshittification of search engines over the years. “Shrinking woman” is even harder to look for, since you get lobbed with tons of irrelevant (to us!) stuff like weight loss, dwarfism, anorexia, etc.

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.

Entertainment Weekly created a short reel to advertise their coverage of The Miniature Wife. I made a copy for my SW archive :

Here is their article:

Loved this quote

“What interested me about it was just the conversation: What is soft power versus hard power,” says Banks who, alongside Macfadyen, also signed on as an executive producer. “Because obviously he’s physically huge and could squash [shrunken] me like a bug, but I have a lot of soft power in the relationship and influence over him and know how to use it.”

Also using props to make her feel smol

“The ultimate goal was to do as many things as we could to make this feel grounded for Elizabeth, because the bigger the prop, the more she felt like a 6-inch tall woman…”

JUST OVER A WEEK LEFT… this is it!

@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).

@blehb Thread necromancy is legal in these parts, I think!

I’ll admit this scenario has been on my mind, too. I’m really tempted to steal Lily’s idea and adapt it to a Canadian/Quebec setting. I might have even an outline of that potential story

Roleplaying wise, I love the idea of going in “blind”, full meta and not using English (or any language both partner know) for anything other than scene or action description. All dialogue in native tongue, only (and no cheating using AI translator!) Complex because it requires bilingual partners that don’t actually share a common language… hmm, I don’t know if it’s an invitation but that could be fun.
