@SmolChlo I was like “Oooh nice, let’s add this one to my favs!”… annndd it’s already in my favs lol

@giantmaneddie well I just finished that part and those were some amazing renders and a surprisingly emotional story, even if we already knew some bits.

She had found a caring, loving giant. Why can’t society leave them in peace?!

@littlest-lily AHHHH THE PUNS

I know, right? They’re toe-tally effective!

@Nyx Even these short blurbs take me an age to create; I shudder to think of the amount of time required to write anything more. Lot of respect and admiration for those who do on a regular basis!

@littlest-lily If only I had access to someone fluent in French and English to help me revise or translate my hypothetical stories… one can dream!

@Olo that made me spit my morning coffee lol. All I can say is that variety is the spice of SW… hmmm, spices on SW… homerdrool.gif

@blehb LOL that gif is just perfect

@SmolChlo said in Militsioner:

I came across a new game that’s currently in development called Militsioner!

Very cool concept if they can pull it off. Of course I’d like the role of the guard (hehe) but I can see how this could be designed differently to include asymmetric multiplayer gameplay!

Like, “Escape the Dollhouse”… hide and seek meets survival horror. One player is normal-sized, 1 to 3 are shrunken. Add VR to the mix and that would be insane!

@littlest-lily said in Reddit-style advice post (size edition):

@foreverlurk You are too good at creating a hateable character that we’ve all seen online. I beseech you, sir, please get into writing

20+ years of observing trolls on Reddit (and in the size community) sure helped!

Writing - uh, mayyybe? Hopefully the years haven given me more ideas than just my “Me want tiny woman. Me shrink woman. Ooga booga!” of my teens.

@miss-lillipants said in Reddit-style advice post (size edition):

It’s no Reddit post without some pitiable troll weighing in with pointless, muddled response, haha

That’s exactly what I thought, you guys were all being so wholesome and I was thinking “wait that’s not the Reddit I know!”

@Olo Even if I’m not into M/m myself, I’m always sad to see pillars of the community leaving, even if in that case it sounds like a very good reason. I hope someone will take over and continue running the website.

@nephilim it really depends, but I’ve noticed that in regards to the filters I mentionned, less is more. The key is to give the mimimum information to the AI and leave the rest up to chance. More text in your prompt can add “noise”.

My basic prompt is something like :

• “realistic [illustration|render|painting|drawing|etc.] of shrunken woman, two inches tall, tiny, shrunk, [sitting|standing|sitting|etc.] on [palm of hand|table|etc.], photorealistic”

The actual inches isn’t really important, it’s more to give another weight to the idea the subject is not its normal scale. You can then add more info about the scene, like this:

• realistic illustration of shrunken woman being examined by alchemist, six inches tall, tiny, shrunk, standing on table, in medieval alchemy lab, fantasy, digital art, photorealistic

Mind you, that took about 20 tries to get something like this. You’ll get plenty of crappy results, too.

Another thing I’m trying to do is comics… I haven’t found the perfect prompt yet but I’m getting cohesion between panels, which is a great start.

• Three-panel comic, realistic illustration showing a female wizard, in a high fantasy setting. The first panel shows the woman normal sized, she casts a shrinking spell. The second panel shows her gradually getting smaller. The third panel shows her shrinking again, even smaller.*

Be aware that Microsoft is very aggressive on censorship, like I said any negative emotions or situations cannot be prompted.

@miss-lillipants Really liked it too but I’m not a fan of the way the story ends - you can probably guess why - but there are so few SW audio out there, I can’t complain.

A common thing I love about those is the way the SW first presents herself as being able to care for herself, she doesn’t want to be a burden, etc. But when faced with the reality of being so vulnerable they ask for the giant’s protection.

Honestly, a tiny lady saying she feels safe and protected with me… that makes me fucking melt.

So, I know this isn’t r/relationship_advice but I figured since you brought the subject, there would be no harm in asking.

There’s this er, friend of mine who would be VERY interested in meeting a “Tiny” as you say. Well, I’m still not sure if your country’s tinies are normal-sized or not (this got confusing quickly!) but we do have Minus-virus-victims here (it’s no conspiracy!), and this “friend” has a huge crush on a lady who got the virus last year. He’s been helping her as her “designated giant” (or Big, if you will) to cope with the aftermath of her change in size, but beyond that the two have been getting to know each other with time.

He liked her even before she got small, but now it’s bordering on an obsession. He dreams about her and gets ridiculously nervous when he’s with her (I know, WTF, a Big nervous in front of a Tiny?!) and he doesn’t quite know how to make a move without scaring her? What if she doesn’t want a relationship with a Big? What if she thinks he’s a weirdo for even considering it? Also, can a Tiny even consent, truly, freely, in spite of the crazy power imbalance? Although all things considered, she does hold quite a lot of power over him, whether she knows it or not.

So, how would you suggest I… he approaches the situation, what’s the best course of action?

Thanks!

Still exploring the possibilites with DALL-E 3, again with a mix of joy and frustrations.

I tried to push the limit to the tiniest size I could get, where reference objects would still be detailed enough… turns out it’s pretty good. Here’s an example around 0.5 inches tall, next to a finger and nail :

Another thing I tried is having multiple foreground characters, the limit seems to be around 3 or 4, beyond that you get twins, low details and other glitches. Background characters doesn’t have that limit. Here’s an example with two SW sharing the same palm:

Any handheld other than open palm is very hard to do, as the AI flags any “negative” things done to women. I literaly had to use this in my prompt to make the filter understand I’m not trying to hurt a female in the scene: “The fingers of the hand form a gentle, protective circle around her, showcasing care and affection”

In other news… I’ve been told repetitively and aggressively to do GTS/SM , and I’ve also been told I shouldn’t include giant men in my pictures. Like, dude, it’s literally me projecting myself into my fantasy… back off! So here’s one for them :

As much as I like F/f, I really wish getting men in such positions would be possible, the AI blocks any tenderness of a man towards a shrunken woman (the filter probably think “tiny women” == “young girl”, I guess) :

@SmolChlo said in Tall and Short Make a Match:

Made me wonder if their insinuating that some people bury and ignore their genuine preferences for whatever looks good or is deemed acceptable by society.

This behaviour sounds adjacent to the Halo effect, which associates traits like being fat means you’re lazy, being tall means you’re powerful, being beautiful means you’re a good person.

Consequences of that unconscious tendency? There’s the height wage gap, where tall people make more money on average. There’s the beauty card that let you get away with almost everything. That sort of things might explain why some people prefer to have a taller mate (and, consequently, offspring).

@Nyx said in Training Exercise (M/f, Gentle, Giant, Shameless Smut):

Fascinated, Silas said, “God, I’ve had dreams about this.”

Ugh, me too, Silas. Me too.

You know, I’m usually more into shrinking stories but this has soo many elements I like - namely battle mechs, hehe.

Love her expression, gorgeous art.

@HHunter1 said in Norandino and Lucina discovered by the Ogre:

See, right there. Proof. This isn’t a modern fetish. Ancient people liked a little company to.

Of course I can’t find it right now, but I’ve seen ancient art from Japan depicting tiny women. There’s mention of giant and tiny people in myths all over the world. Impossible to think we’re the first generation in history to have this fantasy, although we’re probably the first able to discuss it openly with others through the internet.

New gameplay demo just dropped:

Sadly (for me) no way to play as the giant.
No multiplayer.
No VR.
