@Olo

I’m not female so maybe not qualified to answer fully, but what I personally like about it compared to MOST (not all) male writers :

• Larger overall focus on psychological aspects and growth of characters
• Insights and narratives presented purely from the SW’s point of view (sooo interesting)
• Slower pace overall, richer build-up to get to the spicy parts (bigger payoff!)
• More space and easier for me to insert as the male/giant in stories, sometimes eerily so(!)

My take is that usually the male gaze is focused on our (male) needs without delving too much into the consequences of such actions. I guess partly because some male authors would then share at least some level of guilt or shame at their character’s actions, or also perhaps because they don’t actually care and see the SW as a sex object/tool (which is okay sometimes, not judging).

But again I want to reiterate not all male authors are like that.

Except the therapist is a giant, and therefore the source for a lot of triggering moments.

I’m curious about that part - do you mean “triggering” in a therapeutically good way? Like during CBT’s exposure part?

For my part I’ve often thought of tinies as ideal therapists, as non-threathening as they are, makes it easier to open up. No distracting eye contact either.

Day 1 - practice being picked up

W-where do I sign up for this dream job?! Heck don’t even pay me, I’d do it for free.

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!

@skysayl said in When Chaotic Good Giants Attack:

the fact that there are people who exist that would happily fill the giant slot in my funny little fantasies

Seriously it is unreal, especially thinking back on my early days “no way anybody else on Earth is into that, let alone women, ah!”

I’d go with shirt pocket, or if it’s cold I guess wrapped in my scarf, or maybe my hoodies hood. In fact pretty much anywhere close to me, ahem.

On second thought… can’t I just keep her in my hand all the time?!

@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!

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.

@Olo The struggle of having a LG heart but a TN’s desires. I’m an oathbreaker!

@Olo For real she’s almost 6 feet tall, someone should really do something about that…

But seriously I saw those movies WAY too young (thanks to my careless older brother!) and it terrified me, I had nightmares for weeks.
