    • RE: Karmic shrinking

      There’s also the inverse of growing, though. Both the more normal undeserved giant rampage growing kind of dynamic, but also, like, revenge growth. A boss lady put a guy down, calls him pathetic?

      He grows. Maybe it’s just a bit, a few feet, and suddenly he’s super popular, the big man (sorry, I had to) on campus. Maybe she’s the only one to notice that he’s now inhumanly tall, maybe he’s suddenly her boss.

      Or… Maybe it’s a lot. Maybe he’s a security guard who ‘confiscates’ her car, and pretends she’s too quiet for him to her. Or maybe he just plucks her from inside of the building, and walks away…

    • RE: Inhuman giants

      So, as a sort of follow up question, much much later, lol…

      I’ve got the idea for a dragon story, and I’m not talking one of the half-human things where it’s a giant person with, like scale gauntlets built in. No, the main character is just a normal, scary dragon, who views humans as probably too small to be worth the effort snacks, the woman is Classic Princess ™(with a twist), and a supporting character that is a dragon who polymorphs around a lot, but prefers various shades of ‘human with draconic features’ up to the classic half-human dragon.

      If I ever end up writing this… would it be good to post this here? Because I’m not sure what I’d do with it otherwise, lol.

    • RE: Giant knight thoughts

      Plus, there’s always the fun dynamics of an unstoppable force bending the knee to a queen (or princess, or hell, just a lady knight in authority), who can’t even touch the tip of his armored boot.

      Bonus points if he’s so big that that kind of action should naturally send her flying, but it never happens, and it’s not until she sees him actually run, and leave holes in the countryside, that she realizes just how careful he’s been even for the little things. …Heh.

    • RE: Lesser Known Inconveniences of Being Giant/Tiny

      @blehb said in Lesser Known Inconveniences of Being Giant/Tiny:

      I am the same way. I dwell too much on the details and fail to make a single cohesive story, and at some point give up on writing anything at all!

      It’s just so easy to spiral on it! I think, ‘Oh, I like this idea, and I want it in the story’, but then it’s like… why is that there? What caused it? How would that work on a biological/societal level? What are the repercussions of this change and it’s like-

      I just want to write about a giant hugging a woman shaped robot piloted by his normal sized girlfriend so they can still have physical contact even if it’s really hard for them normally, is that so hard?! I don’t want to wholesale make up a setting-wide backstory to explain it!

      So, how is the bathroom handled? After a certain point you can probably do hamster cage thing, maybe put an area aside, but when they’re bigger? Or if you’re not doing the hamster cage?

      Best I’ve ever figured is the defacto built-into-the-seat child’s tiny’s toilet seat I used once, where between the lid and the usual seat is one with a much smaller hole so the little lady doesn’t fall in. That, and ladders. So many ladders.

      @littlest-lily
      Well. Now I need to work it into a story somewhere that a tiny keeps getting thrown around, but is always fine, so she loses all fear of heights and/or gets super traumatized.

      I think the problem is the plumbing, hooking it up and all that.

    • RE: What small details really elevate size content for you?

      @wildxpixie
      Honestly, that sheer difference in power informs a lot of how a GT/sw dynamic works, and how, in anything close to a ‘fair’ relationship, the giant has to accommodate the sw, make allowances for her, respect her fragility and how delicate she is, that many things that aren’t a threat or obstacle to him may be serious problems for her, while the sw has to acclimate to the fact that they aren’t in control, in many ways.

      Sure, she may be in charge, or telling them what to do, or even manipulating him with pleasure until he’s weak in the knees, but the second he just… reaches over and picks her up all of that goes away; they don’t get to choose what happens to them, where they go, anything. It’s all the giant’s choice, and even the fact he’s not making that choice is, in fact, him choosing not to choose; he allows her that control, it’s not something she has herself.

      In reminds me about what people say about Superman vs Batman fights, that Superman has to not use all his natural advantages (like just blasting Batman from space or something) to even allow Batman to get to a situation where they fight at all, allowing him to even be able to have a chance to fight. That those big, dramatic fights are still Clack accommodating his strength against Bruce’s frail humanity.

      @Olo
      If only if only.

      On my part, I’ve also found that a really small blanket, bunched up, will make a ‘shape’ smaller than a pillow, and somewhat more human shaped and human feeling. It’s pretty easy to to set it up in the crook of your arm as well.

      @foreverlurk
      FIre giants, Ice giants, and depending on how you look at it the actual gods; Norse also have their creation myth with the land starting from a dead giant, Ymir. So… yeah, they have a good amount of it.

    • RE: Brainstorming Thread

      @littlest-lily
      Hmm… considering that I want to do portals, and that I’m thinking about aliens… something space-y themed, maybe. I should probably avoid the fire and lightning and the other normal elements, and do stuff with more vague ‘energy’ for abilities.
      @Olo
      I’ve already done some more while I was at work today; I’ve figured that there should be ‘Mid-Sized’ various whatevers, heroes and monsters, for example.

      It’s also helped me figure out better reasons why the giants (Megas? Heroes? Eh… I need a sort of catch all term for them. I’ll have to work on that) are deployed in cities like that: once creatures get past the normal threshold, the bigger something gets, the less it works on normal logic. So the big, kaiju kaiju effectively require zero resources to function, and so only roam about trying to claim territory and the like; in all honesty, they have little reason to focus on human cities, since even if they do eat humans are worthless, and so if they hit a human city it’s either an accident or they’re goaded into it. They do view the giants as one of their kind, and thus try to fight them, but there’s always enough warning for the nearby giants to go over to an area abandoned for this purpose, away from the population (ideally with two or more heroes, because who needs to fight fair?), and then fight the kaiju with minimal fuss for the citizens (actually, with great enjoyment by said citizens, since there’s effectively zero danger for them).

      The Mid-Sizes, though? While a giant… squirrel, or whatever, requires less resources porportiantly than a regular squirrel, they still need a lot more in practice, since they scale from the size of a car to a small building, and to them, a human is absolutely a real source of food. They’re also in this nasty sweet spot where, while they cause less property damage than a kaiju, they will usually end up causing more deaths; they can still steamroll police or National Guard and the like with little issue, while being small enough to hide with decent effectiveness, and with the actual desire to hunt people just in general are really bad to have in the general area.

      Thankfully, while a proper kaiju views a giant as competition to be beaten, a Mid-Size views it as a threat and avoids them like the plague. All the countries have their giants deployed in such a way that the MSs who come from the water are naturally funneled away from the cities or towards abandoned areas, where they end up fighting with the other MSs that have showed up. On occasion a kaiju rises up in those areas, but they naturally claim those areas as their own and stay there; when two or more arise, they end up fighting each other, and the survivor generally stays in place afterwards; giants only go in when multiple show up and don’t kill each other, or one shows unusual levels of intelligence. Rarely, the losers escape the victors (this is where the kaiju who come ashore come from) but in their weakened state are easy prey for the heroes.

      Most MSs who come from the land show up in those areas, but on the rare occasions they show up close to a city deeper in the country, past the hero line, people in mech-suits (part of some defense organization I need to come up with a name for), deal with them, since their suits are effectively hero mid-sizes (along with actual hero mid-sizes? Thinking on that), but if it’s bad enough a more city-friendly hero will go deal with the problem.

      @Olo

      Yup. All islands, everywhere, are basiclly abandoned, since they’re too small to be effectively protected for how rare giants are. Antarctica is basiclly gone, and the containment zones mean large parts of Asia, North America, and Africa are basiclly cordoned off as de facto sacrifices for the various Mid-Sizes. Stuff on the water’s edge is theoretically protected, but it’s very ‘on your head be it’ levels of risk for those who live there (the spring break parties are even wilder in such places than they are now, since most of the beach goers are to some extent adrenaline junkies); ship based trade has dropped substantially, because out in the ocean is filled with monsters, replace with more air freight and less need to in general because of more advanced technology.

      Compared to the current amount of people on land, it’s now closer to 2/3s or even a 1/2, I’d think.

      @miss-lillipants
      Like I said, I’d easily see a Tiny Hunter doing all this to advocate, like, that tinies are people too (look at the clothes they made for themselves! Such detail, such craftsmanship!), emphasizing the family and communities they make, while showing how peoples actions are endangering their ‘habitats’ (communities; maybe focus on a tiny village somewhere that a city is trying to get rid of? Or a tiny town that is literally living off someone’s scraps?)

      I’m not sure why; the love of small, cute, adorable things is universal. Women are very attractive.

      Meanwhile, it’s much more surprising to me that a woman would actually like being made tiny and then treated like a particularly spoiled cat.
