I also really love the contrast of all of that and the sheepish courting (“is this a date?”)

It’s a tough choice between Gale and Halsin for me. I crushed on the both of them SO HARD, for different reasons. I wish Halsin had more depth (I’d happily swap out the whole bear…thing ), but he makes up very well with that mellow voice and that body. God help me when they updated some dialogue and the kissing animation, fuck
More importantly, both can have their own different GT/SW scenarios!
@Nyx hngngggg thank you so much, I really appreciate that, truly I’m really glad that I was able to get the details across

I can see him in my mind’s eye, and he sounds like my kind of giant. Caring but also intimidating
Honestly, those types of giants are my go-to, whether they are intentionallty choosing to be intimidating or not! Ultimately softies at heart (or they learn to be) ️
@foreverlurk it is a cool 18 degrees C here and I am FUCKING SWEATING. I love these! Thank you! God they’re so dashing…and so gentle (mostly)
@littlest-lily heehee thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it ️
I have to ask the same thing I asked Nyx - do you have AO3 or a centralized place where you post all your work??
I’m afraid I don’t. Tbh I haven’t really thought about opening up an account somewhere, mostly because I’m not as active as I used to be with writing. I used to have stuff on dA or posted on other forums, but they’ve either been wiped or archived somewhere I don’t keep track of. I’ll have a think about AO3! I always thought it was for fanfic stuff, but I am clearly mistaken.
@Olo I bought this little lady a while back as an art/size reference. I don’t think it says on the page, but it’s a 1:18 scale model, which is perfect for my preferences - could be a bit smaller, but this was one of the few affordable options with more relatively realistic body proportions at that scale.
If I was game enough to ask my partner to offer his hands to model, I would. But for now, my girly woman hands will have to act the part.

The holy trinity of vulnerability, insignificance and yet being the only thing that matters, the center of his world.
I’m so glad to be able to get that across. It’s the best combination ️
@blehb said in Watching Others Watch Size:
it seemed like a lot of people were disappointed the movie strayed away from further world-building.
Haven’t seen the movie either. I think most normies have shown a general, albeit fleeting, fascination for size content and are genuinely interested when there’s world-building or there’s a reason for it to exist - like most fantastical themes; vampires and werewolves being classic ones. I’ve been lucky to have been able to tell a handful of friends and partners, and be met with curiosity and a “oh, that’s cool!” And then we move on to other topics - hence the fleeting part. If there’s nothing to keep them interested, that’s it until it’s brought up again.
I think the sexual part doesn’t tend to come up because people are being polite. Amazon has probably answered some common logistics questions (including The Boys, Gen V and American Gods) at least.

Very engaging and arousing SW smut! I also really enjoyed the Borrower mindset, instantly eyeing the muslin napkin for appropriation.
Thank you! I had to throw in a couple of Borrower idiosyncracies for a bit of fun.
Of course that’s a Borrower exclamation, I don’t know how it could be any different.
It was a notable exclamation in the 1900s! But I’d like to imagine Borrowers making it their own thing, like they heard it and used it, or it developed separately and was already in use, or that they also misheard “Jesus Christ” being said and it stuck. Perhaps all three across space and time, with different Borrower clans having their own reasons (and so the lore building continues).
Giants always give themselves away.
Even the quiet ones are not always subtle.🤭

For sure if an ecologist -esque character is something they want to write, I have sooo much info I could provide
I did a 2-week introductory ecological field methods trip not too long ago for work and study. Obviously it was just a snippet of what you guys do (am assuming you’re an ecologist or adjacent!), but so much of the work was such size fodder. We didn’t deal too much with flying critters, more handling skinks and shrews - istg I was screaming internally every second day with someone gently holding a tiny creature (and then letting them go, of course). It inspired me to write an idea/scenario with a ecologist-type meeting a borrower at a mining/work camp.

@miss-lillipants I need to reread this to fully comment thoroughly but GAWDDAAAAMN your writing and the scenario and the way you encapsulated such raw tenderness alongside this DESIRE!
Literally how can a scenario be so sweet, cute, domestic yet so veryveryvery horny and perfectly so I need a moment-No but I wish to fully give a comment but I just has to write now that wow, this is perfectly done
Aw thanks so much! Whilst I think it’s more common amongst M/f, there seems to be little intersect between fluffy content and X-rated stuff in the size community. So as both a romantic and a hornbag, I’m happy to share the sorts of fantasies that I personally enjoy with the hopes others will enjoy too

I would love to read the story you mentioned 🥺
️ Sadly, it lives fragmented in the personal vault, but I’ll happily post if I get time to work on it! Amongst other things, it needs more interaction with wildlife, considering the characters and context.

Ooh were you guys using box/Sherman traps? One of my other favorite things that is such size fodder is when we trap small rodents in Sherman traps (they’re live traps for catch and release) in the winter, we’ll throw in cotton balls to keep them warm. But sometimes, in the morning, they’re still chilly, so we’ll hold them in our pockets until they’ve warmed up enough and then release them in a safe spot
Yes we did, in fact! It was during the cooler months and were set up for nocturnal capture, so we used hobby fill to help keep them warm. We checked and released early in the morning though, because it would get hot and sunny during the day and we didn’t want them to cook. Animal welfare was a top priority.
We also used pitfall traps (i.e. buckets in a trench) in which we placed some sand, bait, a PVC tube with hobby fill, and (this got me) a square of cork for any creatures to hold on to in case the bucket filled with water overnight
just makes me think of a brownie/borrower/tiny human getting in one on accident and then getting warmed up by a giant hand
Bruh, my mind full GT/SW wandering during stand-by times!
It’s safe to say that the role of conflict in stories has been covered already.
I’m the same in that I was (still am, sometimes) really wary of incorporating darker themes into scenarios, because I emotionally invest a lot into my charcaters. I really wanted to explore violence and conflict, but I didn’t want to “taint” the characters I was using and also, it had to make sense (talking about romances in particular, but can also extend to friendships or other relationships). I like nice, healthy relationships so it was difficult to imagine, for example, the main giant as a sadistic abuser AND for the story to have a nice fluffy ending for the main giant and tiny. For example, some romances don’t make sense to me, or are not something I would call “romantic”. Like, the “I can fix him” trope is not something I usually subscribe to. Also, Ross and Rachael (iykyk).
In line with @Mrgoblinging7, I create “throwaways” - one-shot, stand-alone and non-canonical scenarios that focus on the dark stuff. I can incorporate regular characters, or make new ones entirely, it doesn’t matter. The scenario is only on whatever theme(s) I’d like to explore - I don’t worry about how it fits in with a fluffy scenario. Not yet. It’s about getting comfortable and understanding what I’d like to see; what would work, what wouldn’t if I did try to make it canon.
If that kind of dynamic between the main characters doesn’t work, but I still want someone to do something, then I use other characters to fill darker roles. Sometimes that’s a matter of preference though - you might not like having another character involved in the dynamic.
Sometimes it’s about reframing the story entirely - would I call something a romance? Or is it better described as a drama, tragedy, horror, etc.? You can have nice elements in all of these, but they’re secondary to the overall theme. It might start off nice then devolve into something darker. Maybe it’s always been fucked up, but it’s never been realised until a point.
Anyway. Those are my thoughts and approaches
