@tiny-ivy Yes I know about Molyneaux and his sad story, I don’t think he’s involved with the latest Fable, the one with the sizey elements we’ve seen in the teasers? I hope not!

But yeah I was a fan of Bullfrog and I played Populous on my brother’s computer (thanks to him I could play games my parents wouldn’t have wanted me to play lol)

Never got into Dungeon Keeper, but heard they are classics. My other favourite was a cyberpunk one called Syndicate, you had missions to complete with a team of agents, didn’t understand it too much but setting people on fire never got old

It was an SW pet care simulator, but it would have been awesome if you could have beat up monsters and stomp over the city as well.

W-wait wait… you had me at “SW Pet Care Sim”. I need more games like this now

@tiny-ivy Oh wow you unlocked a memory of a game I used to play as a kid : Populous! You played as a divinity and controlled the population, made them fear you or reward them. That would influence their destiny, until you had them confront a rival divinity’s followers in an all-out ragnarok-like war hehe

@Noneja I don’t know why all games are from the tinies perspective, we giants need games too! I would even settle for an observer mode.

I’m not usually into being a literal giant myself, but… casting a huge shadow over a city with my hand? Yes please!

Oh and Grounded would be absolutely fun to watch from a normal-size perspective

@Afreakingbby I’m not even close to being a cruel giant, but I really enjoy non-consensual (or semi-consensual) shrinking in my fantasies. I’ve met people who made me feel bad about that, but luckily I’ve also found plenty of tiny women who gladly play along with my scenarios and enjoy them just as much as I do.

That being said, it depends on the context. If you’re in a RP, like Big G said, I think the important part is making sure both partners know each other’s limits. For example, I’m a fan of micro, but I know that some find it overwhelming, or don’t like it at all. I can either dial it down if they want, or completely avoid it if it’s a no-no.

But yes, consent is key : if you consent to an unwilling scenario, and both party agrees, knock yourself out! Have fun! And screw the puritans or self-righteous gatekeepers of what should be allowed (or not) in size play.

@miss-lillipants

This sounds less like a trope than an outline for the first couple of chapters of a story One that I would enjoy, no doubts!

A shrunken girl in hand… is worth two in the bush ?

@Olo Yeah normie literature in French often refers to tiny/shrunken women as “naine”, the same term as women with dwarfism. I never liked that personally, I much prefer “lilliputienne”.

@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 ‘minigirl’ is pretty common for manga/manhwa, hentai and other Asian media, but hasn’t caught on anywhere else. Not having a single, easy word for “tiny woman” has been a problem for finding content since forever, made even worse by the enshittification of search engines over the years. “Shrinking woman” is even harder to look for, since you get lobbed with tons of irrelevant (to us!) stuff like weight loss, dwarfism, anorexia, etc.

formally trained Dom

W-w-wait, is there a Dom Academy and I’m not aware of its existence?

Mouse girls are underrated

Adorable.

But let me tell you, there are actually small venues, like that one in the dumpiest dump of Kitchener’s vomit-filled bars, ugh shudders

Ah, the naïveté on my early 20s.

Love the use of light in Minutia’s art.
