@tiny-ivy I think green is referencing a scene from Zoolander.
Great finds btw am definitely down on this potential trend.

Of course it’s all relative, I’d feel as turned on as a giant if I saw a normal sized girl roaming around, I’d have to grab her immediately and I’d have a good time.
And I think that’s true for some people and to some extent for others, hence the post in the first place. In saying that, absolutely agree that it’s really lovely to learn and share our own preferences, kinks and thoughts with others with the same/similar interests
@Nyx my partner bought be Vol 1 for my birthday. It’s gorgeous yes! Violet Goes to the Beach is a beautiful little comic!
@littlest-lily also great suggestions! I know Microhunter wasn’t particularly graphic to make me queasy, but I found it very confronting in its art and themes. A great story
@Nyx said in An appreciation for GIANTS:
I’ve seen it argued that there is more intimacy when it comes to shrinking and that the normal-sized person and the shrunken person can focus more on one another. In growth, the rest of the world is often involved (which I happen to like). This intimacy may be appealing to a lot of people.
Oh I remember reading something like this, that’s a good point. I was wondering if that, on top of this, a lot of guys might feel uncomfortable because of how exposed a giant would be (or the though of being so public). But I could simply be projecting.
For fellow Australians, it’s also on Disney+ but…you know, the Australian one.
I unintentionally binge-watched the first season last night (only 8 eps), it’s a good show!
@Olo said in Let Me Get This Straight:
The neglect of what has been called the “ecology” of giants is a major obstacle to me enjoying a lot of true giant|ess smut.
I’m also glad to see others notice the difference is demands/expectations for logistics between SW/GT and SM/GTS content. I totally understand and appreciate wanting to rationalise an improbable thing into reality - magic, science (known or unknown), aliens, etc. People are so creative and amazing with what they know, but sometimes I just think, “why is this important?” Sometimes I just want to enjoy a giant for the sake of him being a giant - the practical side of being a giant in a world that probably can’t support him is interesting, but sometimes not crucial. At the risk of sounding dismissive, it is a fantasy after all.
In the end, the giant man is my object, and what he does is what I wish for him to do, and what I wish to witness - just as giantesses, despite their position of power, are the object of someone else’s (mostly men’s) desire. I think a lot of straight men find being literal giants hard to reconcile because of how so many fantasies are tailored them - they don’t need an excuse to put women into positions, but when those tables turn and men become the focus of someone else’s fantasy, it’s got to work for them, which centres them again (even if it’s got nothing to do with them). There are exceptions of course, and the beauty of fetishes is how varied and diverse they are.
Your original post was cute and funny but it really does reflect the push-back I’ve read from guys who are clearly very resistant to the idea. In saying that, I go back to my initial response being:
Yeah, nice try convincing us that any of that bothers you at all

Your Flatmates Little Issue
Yesssss! This one is really cute. The first part is my favourite since she describes things from her new perspective
@Olo it is very cool! And mostly free (some purchases if you want extra assets).
Another advantage for me is it lets me easily visualise the scale of the subjects at different levels or against different parts of the body. For example, a tiny might not seem so tiny when in the hand, but it’s different if they’re on the ground next to a foot. Or even if placed on the shoulder. Thanks to that, I’ve been able to settle on a single preferred ratio for my fantasies, rather than keep questioning whether someone is too big or too small.
And on the topic of being swallowed whole, the app’s also helped in realising whether the tiny is too big (or the giant too small, whichever way it may be).
Otherwise, I’d been relying on articulated artist’s models for a long time - more recently, I found a 4" one that’s been amaaaazing and I love her.
@Olo I actually love a good shoulder ride - makes for some great snuggles into the neck or collar. But when discretion is necessary, I’m also on Team Chest Pocket, internal breast pockets included.

Someone posted a nice SW artwork on DA and the girl was about 10-12" tall, everyone was like “oh perfect size, my favourite, etc”.
And I was there thinking "But what if… S M A L L E R
I am absolutely with you on this

They’re not trying to wreck the skyscrapers and squish everyone but they just keep growing and they can’t help it!
Unintentionally destructive scenarios with an anxious giant are one of my absolute favourites. He doesn’t mean to, he doesn’t want to, but he’s just so big that he can’t maneuver himself without bumping or breaking something, making things worse. I usually reserve it for softy gentle giants (other times…well, we know that power can change people).
@littlest-lily I can tell you that there is no particular story behind this one. Whose size has been altered? Do they know each other? Will she be safe, or is he a dick? I’ll leave those up to you
I’ve created a DA account to make it easier to follow people (yourself included), but it’s empty atm. Side from some newer drawings, when I’ve got some time I’d also like to re-upload some of my older work from my previous DA and Tumblr accounts

As for handling F/m content, you’ll grow into it.
Haha

The other way is… well, don’t have the interaction at all. The guy is a little statue, or something: can’t move, can’t talk, but he can perceive the world around him, to some extent.
I’ve thought of this is a scenario too, and it tends to centre around themes of loneliness, feelings of inadequacy and trying to rebuild (physically, emotionally, etc.) after a major event. Giving him some sort of consciousness still makes me feel some obligation to expand on his perspective, especially if it also adds depth to their eventual relationship (call me a romantic). But I agree - it is a slightly better alternative to engaging with a tiny man character.
I’m not inherently against F/m and SM content. For me, it just comes with a lot of baggage. But if it makes sense to include or adds to the story (even better), then I can put a lot of that baggage aside. I think with this trope, I can then do away with it entirely once the first part ends
I’ve always been into giants, tiny people and especially fairies, but I would pinpoint my “awakening” to M/f was Captain Planet S6E3, Frog Day Afternoon when Wheeler and Linka (who was my favourite character) are shrunk by Dr Blight. Wheeler reverts back to normal size first and has a brief but rather cheeky interaction with Linka. I’d have been around 5yo at that point.
I was exposed to sexual size content at around 15 or 16, but it made me uncomfortable and I had a complicated relationship with sex in general, let alone a fetish. I didn’t really get into it until I was maybe 20. I still very much have my preferences, but my tastes have changed over the years with regard to what I do and don’t tolerate.
