@DFP I’m a huge fan of Robotech and there are plenty of G/t scenes in the anime.
Battletech is still going strong today (after the whole Clickytech fiasco) with Catalyst successfully kickstarting many new expansions. I’m a fan of the lore, the worldbuilding and politics of the Inner Sphere.
@SmolChlo haha don’t give up, I’m sure he’ll get it eventually! 
My problem has always been searching for signs when in reality there were none. Good ol’ “I reject your reality and substitute my own” at work!
@protect-tinies I can work my way around the censorship with my understanding of OpenAI’s tech, as frustrating as it can be sometimes. That being said, I’m not against some safeguards and regulations in AI image gens and most of my work is SFW anyway. I just hate it when it considers “size difference” as a policy breach.
I’ve had a look at Gab before and that’s a disgusting alt-right / neo-nazi site. I’m not touching that with a ten-foot pole.
That’s a nice solution, much simpler to implement than actually knowing a complete language. Even the terms used for descriptions in English might change as the understanding grows (ie. “giant captor” --> “giant savior”)
@blehb said in Language barrier:
For example: The tiny woman stared up at the giant captor, fighting back tears as she clasped her hands together and softly said “Ni nathathol?”
My Sindarin is a bit rusty but during the solar eclipse last week, at totality my daughter turned to me and said “mornië alantië!” which made me tear up a bit (and a very proud father lol)
@protect-tinies said in Looking for source of this GIF:
my interest in tiny women is both sexual and non-sexual
Same, and that got me in trouble in the past with people who only see the kinky, sexual side. This forum is way more friendly to accommodate both kinds, than some others out there.
@blehb said in Looking for source of this GIF:
Or maybe because I’m a woman, and I feel like women with strange kinks are seen as less creepy than men are. (Not that that’s fair, just seems to be the bias people have.)
Absolutely! I never mentionned it beause I don’t want to sound like I’m wallowing up in self-pity, but it’s likely the main reason I’ve never told any women I cared about. I’d fear of being forever labeled as a weirdo, whereas I feel women can “come out” without facing the same stigma (again, might be societal bias at work here).
@Olo Well you’ve done it Olo - from now on I’m reading all your comments with your voice in my head lol
Seriously those themes are so far away from my comfort zone. Still found it interesting.
@blehb said in Shrinking Abilities:
Having more content to enjoy is a lucky thing!
True, that’s why I envy bisizual switchers, makes it that much easier to find new content!
@blehb said in Shrinking Abilities:
But I’ve read opinions in the past where people say it’s seeing the shrinking process itself that does it for them
Oh believe me I know! You’re talking to someone who was banned on The Process Forum because I had posted media w/ no process in it.
Should have known with the forum’s name but I didn’t think they were religious about it. To be fair that was 15+ years ago, the admin was a bit of a dick, and SW was only just tolerated back then.
@blehb said in I feel like 'unaware' tends to be pretty uncommon in M/f. What is everyone's opinions on it?:
We know we can push a big’s buttons and they’ll still be gentle and respectful in the end. It’s a symbol of how much we trust you.
Awww pshhhshfhffftf (sound of this giant melting from the wholesomeness) 
Always loved the idea that I could somehow be that worthy of her trust in spite of being able to end her anytime by accident. Definitely not a level that can be achieved overnight. Part of the reasons I always thought that first interactions with a SW (once discovered and aware of her presence) would be awkward as hell for me, in spite of my inner desires.
And discipline, well… depending on what you have in mind, that can also require a great deal of trust on both sides. But that’s another story.

he’s legitimately worried and fretfully searching, I love those moments
Micro can definitely be scary for both the SW and the giant! “Where is she!?!” and panicking at the thought that even moving to search for her could potentially be fatal. The utter relief of identifying the moving speck on the ground 
As for bug-sized woman being mistaken for insects, I could see it happening under some circumstances, as our brains would probably go for Occam’s Razor : it’s just a strange bug. It depends on a lot of factors, for instance if she’s wearing clothes (and what colour they are), the speed at which she’s moving, the context (ie. is she on the ground outside, or on an office desk, etc). I used to think “no way I could mistake her for a bug” but VR showed me otherwise and now I’m not so sure 
@Giant-Man-1984 Thanks for sharing the clip! That scene took me by surprise, Marvel has let me down so many times I’d rather expect nothing but holy crap that one did not disappoint. 
@SmolChlo You’ve unlocked a memory - I did the same with my sister’s beautiful edition of Alice in Wonderland, a French version with gorgeous artwork. I borrowed it secretly, reading the shrinking scenes and looking at the pictures. Forgot to put it back one day, got that look from my sister which made me panic… like, she knows ! 
(My old pre-internet secret stash of SW stuff would be a gold mine. The struggle was real.)
@BTbutcher said in Re-Homed:
It’s funny how the photo manips that take the least amount of editing usually turn out the best
Also true for my own work, I’ve noticed! Some I’ve spent hours tweaking manually are barely noticed, while others I just threw out there haphazardly got all the praise. 
@blehb said in What are your favorite clothing items for giants/tinies?:
@foreverlurk If it’s cold outside, without the proper clothing she won’t want to leave. I know the tricks you all play!
We’re really that predictable, uh? Glad to see your wits didn’t shrink with the rest of ya! 
While I stand that my statement that makeshift clothes melts my heart, I don’t think SW two inches tall or under should even concern themselves with clothing. They’re too tiny to be properly seen, and so small they shouldn’t venture outside or anywhere it’s too cold. Besides, I imagine any materials would feel rough and uncomfortable at that size.
@SmolChlo said in Luxurious Enclosures:
I learned the hard way that not all miniaturists are macrophiles oh well, at least they learned day 1 that I’m actually 4”
Oh… is there a story you’d be willing to share here
