That looks like a giant phone

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

@blehb I come from Space Hulk which is a really frustrating fun game that dates back to before Games Workshop got greedy. Armoured marines with angelic names purging heretics called to me hehe.

Some artists are modding their Phicen dolls, some look really life-like (the default heads are uncanny-valley territory). I’m really curious about the “skin” feel. I’ve seen people use them for all sorts of… things. Personally, at that price point I’d be VERY careful with what I do to my dolls, hehe (that’s kinda meta, I wouldn’t want to break my SW either).

@i-am-insane said in What are your favorite clothing items for giants/tinies?:

I’ll be honest, I’ve been thinking about trying my hand with WH40K miniatures.

Sisters of Battle and Astartes are both solid choices. I’d say the Astartes are a bit more beginner-friendly in terms of rules. Just stay away from AdMech. If you’re unsure about the game and maybe want to test it before diving in fully, I’ve heard great things about the starter set:

Or if you have friends that can show you how to play, that’s even better. Oh, and get ready to spend quite a few $$$

@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?

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.

@SizePrize69 Yes, I’m male and I have bought many books from authors within the community over the years, although if I’m being honest some of the absolute best SW stories I’ve read were free. I’ve even bought mainstream books not written by the community that include shrinking, like the “Meek” trilogy.

A few that comes to mind :

• “Just a Few Inches” by Tara St Pierre
• “The Promise” by C.E. Wilson
• “Spare Change” by Bonnie Huffington
• “How the Chips May Fall” by scidram

Highly recommend those books, btw. About male/fem gaze… it’s a relatively new luxury that we have more female authors and I’m here for it. I’ve read so many SW stories from the POV of giants to last me a lifetime, and discovering something written from the other side is so refreshing.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t find malegaze interesting, hell that’s probably all that I could write if I tried anyway, hehe.

@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.

@The-Big-G said in Depression and Size Kink:

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.

@SizePrize69 said in Have you ever bought books, novels or e-books (whether in Amazon or at real-life libraries) that indulge your size kink fantasies?:

I somehow have this preconceived idea that female writers tend to focus more on eliciting emotional responses and focus more on the build-up to sexual scenes.

There’s some of that, sure, but it goes even beyond. Just like us, they had the fetish their whole live and spent a lot of time imagining things from a whole difference perspective. Sometimes tiny details they bring up will make me go “wtf I never thought of that!”. Lots of insights into their minds, related to fear, the loss of control, their world perception when tiny, sensory overloads and the dependence / domination by the giant.

Then again I don’t want to speak for all males, I know some who experience the fetish through the SW’s experience, in a more submissive way. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Me, I seek a way to immerse myself into the fantasy. I prefer the focus to be on the shrunken woman almost exclusively, and narratively leave me enough space to sort of take over the experience and fill in the blanks with my mind about the giant.

@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.

@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 Do you have any size kinks or interests that you feel are unusual?:

I FOUND IT. IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME BUT I DID IT.

Thanks! It was wonderful and brand new to me, what better way to start the day lol

@SmolChlo Wait, what?! No no no, you’re my little doll, you’re supposed to play with me! But fine, if you don’t wanna… NO cheese for you, and I’ll shrink you again even smaller than a bug, then the new maze for you to solve would be in my underwear.

@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.

@Olo said in Quick survey for a story idea...:

Coiled Fist has some talented M/m animators.

Yup, and they also have some of best GenAI synthographers I’ve seen! It’s crazy how much talent there is in the M/m part of the community.

“GTSbois” hehe… I’m stealing that!

@Olo Here’s some more context for your context

At the end of Bad Channels, three of the four SW regain their normal size, except for one: Nurse Ginger.

(Yes, I may have watched it a few times a lot growing up. Yes, times were hard before the internet, but at least I had a video rental store close by and the stoner dude behind the counter didn’t ask too many questions.)
