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

@SmolChlo Thanks, I think so too! That new model is not only more photorealistic, but also quite flexible, allowing for more diversity in characters.

@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.

@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

@The-Big-G said in Hug!:

Almost as hairy as I am I think once your past 30 as hair thins on your head it just slowly migrates to the rest of your body

Too real.

@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.

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

@Olo yup, echodeck is indeed a synthographer

@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:

@BigCuddlyGiant Um, she doesn’t look so sure herself hehe

But just look at that teeny tiny footsie against his thumb nail

@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 $$$

@skysayl Invent shrink rays, solve world hunger (and thirst)

@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.

@littlest-lily funny because Ludivine is almost MY age too, hehe. I couldn’t un-see her steamy scenes and prevent my brain from mixing them with her Tink-sized

@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.
