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!)
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.
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.

Dose a day go by that I wouldn’t give up everything to spend five minutes with a tiny woman even if we just chatted as I admired her
“Chatting as I admired her” 
yes, this, exactly this. I think I used these same words a few times. Is it too much to ask? 
And thanks, it’s always nice to know I’m not alone.
Call me old fashioned, but Shrink Rays all the way! Potions will do too, in a high fantasy setting.
I would also add natural/innate shrinking abilities. Either fully controlled, ie. they can change size at will without too much downside or cooldown. Or, the ability isn’t under the person’s control and they shrink either randomly(!) or under some external factors (emotions, getting wet/hot/cold, etc)

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.
@i-am-insane Lots of interesting things to ponder. You know, maybe I make it sound like it’s purely sexual thing - it’s really not. Most of what I wrote would still apply in a platonic relationship (side note - sorry if the nuances of aromantics/asexuals are lost on me, I need to read more on the topic!). There are so many reasons I love this fantasy that involves no sex at all.
As for the therapist, I’m comfortable enough but I haven’t had much experience to judge. I’m just not a people’s person, so if I feel at ease with her after a few sessions, for me it’s a very positive sign. I hope so.
@blehb said in Shrinking Abilities:
either love the shrinking process or love the interactions afterward

They’ve always been equally important to me. Give me a good, long, multi-stage shrinking with different interactions at each height and I’m in heaven.

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
Oh yeah that smoke, with her arm getting smaller and smaller. 
We’re never getting another movie like this ever, right?
@littlest-lily On behalf of kind(ish) giants out there, I can assure you this goes both ways - I can’t get enough either. Yay for mutual fascination!
@Miri I know it’s going to take some time, I’ve no illusions. I never talked about this fantasy to anyone in real life, so even that first step is part of the process, getting over my self-consciousness and shame. I’m always jealous of how some people in the community can be so open about it.
Takes me a while to open up, even in such a safe space. Wish me good luck for the next session.
@blehb Hehe, nice catch! I was wondering if someone was going to notice there’s no way for her to win!
I didn’t explicitly ask for an unsolvable maze, but maybe that’s beyond the AI’s model. Actually, there’s a “hidden” side entrance to the maze, to the left, which look promising. Whether she’ll spot it or not is another story.
@blehb said in When Chaotic Good Giants Attack:
Kind of melodramatic to have such a strong response to it, but I suppose that’s just how my mind works.
Oh no don’t feel bad about having strong feelings about it, not all of us are switchers and it’s okay. I’m the same and I feel extreme discomfort at the simple thought of being tiny, vulnerable and at the mercy of someone’s whims and desires. Nightmare fuel.
I’m not too much into growing to giant size either, as I’d rather not draw undue attention to myself (in fantasy or IRL, uh) and being a literal giant is the antithesis of that. Also, I love the shrinking process too much 
, so if I’m the natural huge one I miss that super important part.
There’s also something more personal about shrinking a woman down, it’s hard to explain but a giant could potentialy take any woman (they’re all small to him), but it’s not the same if I get to choose who I’m going to shrink, anticipating this moment where she’s dwindling in front of me, like…
Uh, got distracted here… where was I? Ah yes - it’s okay to like only one side of this fantasy!
@i-am-insane said in Depression and Size Kink:
The relationship itself has a sort of expectation, even if it’s unstated, that at some point you will talk about this kind of thing, to be open and honest.
What you wrote is so very true, and yet that’s something I still struggle with. I have a hard time opening up and trusting, I always focus on the negative outcomes of any situations, and it’s very hard for me to allow myself to be vulnerable with someone. Admitting this kink is then basically impossible.
A long road ahead for me.
@blehb No worries I didn’t take it as nitpicking. 
I can’t control every variable in the generated pics, but I agree here it’s even better as an unsolvable maze hehe.
