oh trust me… I can get much smaller

Holy f- that comment would have sent me over the edge. Did he start drooling after lol?

Either way, I hope it works out for ya!

@SmolChlo said in Watching Others Watch Size:

I truly get so much enjoyment out of their facial expressions or the way their eyes dilate… like hmmm what are you think about ¿

Well you would have a field day with me, telling me something like this!

Teach me the ways of the extrovert, tiny woman, I beseech thee!

@maladaptivetiny Ohhhh I love first person POVs like this, it’s so perfect… don’t mind me I’m just having a heart attack over here.

@foreverlurk “I could just eat you up.”

“I wish I could put you in my pocket.” (I use that one so often!)

(he did not figure it out)

We think we’re so obvious somehow. size panic activated. Normies don’t perceive this stuff as we do.

Having been with a very short girl, the topic of her height came up often. I never brought it up but I could never get enough of hearing her talk exasperatedly about how short she was, and meanwhile I was like "um, yes, do go on, dear" while trying to keep my cool. Pathetic, I know lol.

Need to get more First Nations stories in there. Lots of Biggos up north.

You’re right, First Nations have giants in some of their tales. There’s Inukpasuksuk in the Inuit mythology, and the sleeping giant of the Ojibwa people.

@maladaptivetiny You know it’s been a good day when you run out of upvotes…

@Olo said in Meanwhile on Reddit:

• 5’9" and fine

5’8" and (mostly) fine.

That’s one thing I hate about dating apps. I mean, I understand that we all have our preferences, and I’d be a hypocrite to deny I like short(er) girls (or redheads… ), but I wouldn’t reject a girl simply because she’s a brunette or my taller than me. But for some people it’s a non-negociable criteria. I guess tall dudes aren’t as used to being rejected based on their height, so it’s a new experience for them, thus the knee-jerk reactions in that girl’s post.

Seriously I don’t think it’s conscious but just like beauty, height is still an advantage and privilege in spite of our modern societies. Height has always been correlated to average salary, and beautiful people can get away with uglier behavior than most.

But maybe giants are extra prevalent in Norse mythology

I’m really no expert but it was my impression they were. Not based on anything but empirical evidence.

Same way I’ve also noticed that Southeast Asia has a tradition of tiny people in their folklore, based on the various stories and television shows featuring them and what I’ve been told on the subject.

(Someone should do a PhD on Size Representation through history!)

That looming shadow in the first image

Thanks, I think it turned out well! I wanted to keep it a first person POV (for… reasons) and also to keep the mystery on the identity of the one who shrank her.

@miss-lillipants said in Shrunken Shadowheart (commission):

And now she’s even cuuuuuutteeerrrrrrrrr~

Yessss, she was a perfect fit for my Oath of Devotion pally, she even ticked my “I-Can-Fix-Her” box .

@Nyx said in When the world doesn't feel big enough:

That looks like a giant phone

I though so too, haha we’re so hopeless Glad to know I’m not the only one.

So with that we’ll be able to create and share our preferences? Interesting!

Is there a central place where we could send our ideas, or simply a list of existing ones? Because otherwise I might be sending you things already in your list.

@littlest-lily Lukas’ self-control is next-level. Truly an inspiration for exemplary behavior for the gentle giants out there.

Lots of interesting thoughts, Olo. I think mine intersects with Lily’s a lot, in the sense that while violence is not really my thing, I would never judge you based on your fantasies. I sincerely hope that, whenever I express my own personal preferences for the gentler side of things, I don’t come across as judging or looking down upon those that don’t share my tastes.

I was fortunate enough to be older than most here when I first got access to the internet, so I wasn’t that shocked when first exposed to violent SW fiction and pictures. I must admit that hurting or killing in the context of shrinking had never even crossed my mind at that point. It’s part of those little details in size fiction that took me a while to discover, like for instance the prevalence of fear as being the foremost sought after emotion from the tiny/SW’s perspective. I know it’s obvious but what I personally seek with the shrinking lies first and foremost in the newfound vulnerability of the shrunken woman. The fear, as I see it, is a byproduct of that loss of power, but not THE thing I’m explicitly looking for. I’m almost like a blissfully unaware giant that has no clue of the utter terror he’s inflicting on his shrunken victim. Does that make any sense?

It is not unreasonable, therefore, to be concerned about how expressions of fetish desires might be (mis)interpreted by people unfamiliar with the tropes and conventions of certain fetishes.

We had a case very similar to Gilberto Valle here in Quebec with a horror writer for a book he published in 2017. In that story, there was an incest/rape scene involving a minor - someone reported that to police, and he was accused of producing child pornography. He was later found not guilty but not before his entire life had been destroyed.

I don’t know where modern day psychology stands on all this. I’ve seen their takes on “viDeO gAmEs mAkE yOu viOleNt!!” and I’m not sure we’re in the clear. I’m old enough to remember the D&D scare in the 90s, when people thought playing that game made us satanic worshippers or something. I shudder to think what some experts would say if they were exposed to size fiction.

PS: J’aime beaucoup le titre de votre article. Very clever.

@miss-lillipants said in When Chaotic Good Giants Attack:

Not in an obsessive/possessive kind of way, but not in a sterile, clinical way either.

Love this! That’s why I feel I’d be such an annoying giant sometimes. I’d never get tired of this, like “now don’t move I need look at how small your are. okay now show me your tiny hands again” over and over and just gawking in raw admiration and having a heart attack.
