@Olo It’s ridiculous, they ended up being bodyguards for the Eastern Roman emperors. They also left graffitis in far away places…

My body image isn’t affected by my size identity, since I don’t really have a size identity- beside wanting to shrink ladies down, which makes me a relative giant I guess.

I’d rather not think of how I would look like from her vantage point - every defect magnified - my physical self-worth is low enough already. I honestly can’t fathom how scary I’d be to a 3" tall woman.

Beyond that, aging is something that is hitting me more than I anticipated, I’m over the midpoint of my life expectancy and while I’m not afraid of death per se, I’m already dreading the slow decline that will inescapably happen.

@skysayl I wouldn’t focus on the ASMR aspect too much - I know some people get the tingles and stuff from the way it’s recorded, or through specific trigger sounds, but in this case I think we’d focus more on what is being said, even if it’s not purely “ASMR” (I’m not even sure what it really means either).

@protect-tinies Plot twist : nobody in the world calls them “pineapples” but you anglo-saxon degenerates /j

Not a site per se, but some of Lee’s short SW stories are amongst my favourite :

@littlest-lily Can you imagine what (or who) put those 3D audio thoughts (literally) in my head, uh?

For a static recording, on the hardware side I think there are binaural microphones that allow you to record directly in 3D. Or, like @skysayl said, you can use manual panning to get the same effect but I guess there’s more work involved. My only experience is mixing music but that’s another ball game.

I’m doing research for a little project of mine on the software side of things, namely audio APIs, algorithms to simulate realistic spatial audio effects, room acoustics, sound source directivity, and HRTF functions. But that’s mostly about how to transform existing sounds to 3D in realtime for, say, a VR environment.

@blehb Without going full mean giant mode, you can have gentle yet teasing and playful? What about if he knows about her triggers and he simply can’t resist getting her to shrink in the most inopportune of places and time? I admit it would be hard to resist, and even better if she’s freaking out about it (while secretly enjoying it)

LOL at her shrinking randomly and the poor the giant going “WTF NOT AGAIN!” and getting his magnifying glass

@coolguy69 Oh I’m not really too hung up on my physical appearance. It’s more a realistic take on what I have (and have not) to offer.

Growing older well - uh, this is off topic but - of course there’s the physical aspect : you’re not as much in shape in your 40s than in your early 20s. You need more regular visits to the doctor’s office, and medical tests. You feel signs that some parts of your body are raising the white flag.

But that’s not what scares me. I’ve recently lived through the pain of losing a parent to dementia. I would not wish it on even the most foul human being, yet it happened to the kindest, most gentle soul that ever was. She went away slowly, forgetting everything about her life, about the people she loved, and it took years for her suffering to end.

I’m not scared of death, but this is worse. That will not be my fate.

@SmolChlo It was shown during the holidays on a segment for children, before an Astérix movie lol. Strange choice but late 80s and not as much concern for viewer’s safety back then.

I was really empathic towards the tinies but jealous of the Draags at the same time - I wanted a tiny Oom girl for myself hehe

@Olo The Aints? No way, I’m a Miami Dolphins fan for life (I like pain ).

@AnnDViant in French we say “géant” (male) and “géante” (female), always have. Sadly, there’s no real single word for a shrunken (or tiny) woman, which again hurts visibility and searchability. The closest we have is “lilliputienne” (i.e. an inhabitant of Lilliput, used as an adjective), but it’s not seen very often.

There’s also not much size literature in French, in our folklore or popular culture. Charles Beaudelaire did write a poem called “La géante” in his seminal “Les fleurs du mal” :

La géante

Du temps que la Nature en sa verve puissante
Concevait chaque jour des enfants monstrueux,
J’eusse aimé vivre auprès d’une jeune géante,
Comme aux pieds d’une reine chat voluptueux.
J’eusse aimé voir son corps fleurir avec son âme
Et grandir librement dans ses terribles jeux ;
Deviner si son coeur couve une sombre flamme
Aux humides brouillards qui nagent dans ses yeux ;
Parcourir à loisir ses magnifiques formes ;
Ramper sur le versant de ses genoux énormes,
Et parfois en été, quand les soleils malsains,
Lasse, la font s’étendre à travers la campagne,
Dormir nonchalamment à l’ombre de ses seins,
Comme un hameau paisible au pied d’une montagne.

@i-am-insane it’s not the only one, but one of the few (compared to GTS it’s nothing of course). I have made a playlist of F4M SW audio, including one by our very own @skysayl :

I also have another playlist for M4F, including a script written by @littlest-lily :

I enjoy those very much and I hope more will be made in the future.

@blehb Armour can be fun to take off from tinies, in a weird sensual way. It’s hard to explain but removing soft clothes is one thing, but removing heavy ceramite armor pieces? A bit of effort to get to my prize

Sadly this isn’t a mini painted for tabletop gaming (those are much smaller, 1:48 scale), it’s a miniature “doll” for my collection. Yeah, I know, I have dolls, judge me all you want hehe

I don’t have Battle Sisters in my armies but Saint Celestine calls to my heretics-purging, righteous-fury-Paladin inclinations. Also, bonus points if you can guess why I love the Adeptus Sororitas so much? Here’s a clue:

@sirensinner Not open at all. Even as a child I knew something wasn’t quite ‘right’ with me, so I kept this under lock and key, even more so after puberty.

I did try to tell the women who shared my life, but I never could. Awkward, introverted & shy, so communication has never been my forte, let alone discussion about my secret fetish. I have lots of respect to people coming out to their partners.

I think as an older (in my 40s) dom male, it’s simply hard mode. Subby, tiny men offer this “power reversal” trope. Women wanting to be big or shrinking men is “empowering”. But someone like me? I’m “perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes” Only half-joking, because that’s what a lot of normies (and even people in this community) think of classic BDSM, so imagine their reactions to me wanting to shrink women down and use them for sexual gratification?!

I tried to tell my sister with whom I’m otherwise very close, but even then it was a disaster. She was clearly uncomfortable and changed the topic, after acting like this discussion never happened

I’m most certainly taking this to my grave.

Nice catch, thanks for sharing!

Still waiting for the game that will let me play as a giant
