@tiny-ivy awww Gale is my favourite charming soft boy he’d make a wonderful giant (to an SW or literal, I have also explored this).

I think Aylin’s character helped solidify my thoughts on the range and flexibility of paladin characters: she’s very proud, charismatic (glorious, even) and driven by a strong sense of justice, but she’s also intense, horrifyingly violent and has the absolute audacity 24/7. I wouldn’t quite want that for my main giant, but they would make for some great tension!

Video games can be such a great source of G/t interactions, although I find M/f scenes are fairly rare. I’m happy to be proven wrong so I thought, why not start a thread and collate some of them?

During my recent Covid quarantine, I finished playing Immortals: Fenyx Rising and, in line with usual depictions of the divine, the gods are actually pretty big in this (I’d say 50-60 feet? Given the stylistic proportions). So I was excited to find a couple of cute handhelds between the protagonist and Zeus in the game (and by some extension, interactions with the other gods who play a role in the story). Players can choose to play as male or female, and surprisingly a lot of videos portray the female option - how appropriate for this forum methinks!

There are some smaller interactions throughout the game that are captured I’m some other cutscenes, but I thought the end scenes were the most significant.

The game is clearly tailored to teens and young adults; cartoonish design, saturated colours, silly script, etc. But it’s fun, cute, and I’m not going to ignore a good handheld.

Warning, videos contain major game spoilers:

I don’t think I’ve ever read a Size story that dealt with menstruating tinies.

I don’t think I’ve read one either. Not many stories in general tend to unless it’s young adult stuff, but tbf I am not an avid book reader. I do remember Tamora Pierce characters having to manage their periods when training for knighthood.

I’d be interested in people’s takes on how menstruation is experienced and managed for tiny/shrinking scenarios. Would make for some good lore/world building. Some broad thoughts to stay on topic:

1. Business as usual: bleeding as normal (or to the usual flow of the tiny) and is something to just deal with. Rags and other absorbent materials are probably pretty accessible and, depending, can be disposed of or washed. PMS symptoms are experienced the same way. They have to be careful of where they are at a particular point in time, at the risk of attracting unwanted beasties (piggybacking on the bear myth here a bit, but there are plenty of other things to worry about when you’re the size of a doll). This could be a problem for a tiny who’s periods are particularly painful or debilitating.
2. Shrinking is physiologically disruptive: Happens but the shrinking process changes the flow for whatever reason put forth, for better or worse, e.g. the tiny used to be able to keep track of their flow, now they can’t; they experience spotting for the first few months until their body equalises with their new size; they experience PMS symptoms to a different extent - less or more pain, lighter or heavier bleeding, different symptoms entirely, etc.
3. Nothing at all: menstruation is uncommon or ceases entirely. This might be brought on by different pressures, including the tiny exerting greater physical activity due to their small size, or a lack of accessible nutrition. For non-humans, maybe they just don’t have it at all, or very limited (like a couple times a year).

For the King Kong and handheld fans, episode 7 has plenty of scenes that may tickle your fancy. It’s a background building episode about Kong and his human lady friend that can be watched as a standalone episode (it just establishes the importance of a particular necklace and explains the emergence of the antagonist).

As a series itself, I liked it! Really easy to watch (only 8 episodes, about 20mins each), good universe/island(?) building, and I’m a sucker for Powerhouse Animation who also animated Castlevania, Seis Manos and Blood of Zeus.

Hmm. Unless the equivalent is actually huge, bulging muscles or something? Big arms broad shoulders?

Not necessarily. This parallels discussions around superhero bodies and male power fantasies: portrayals of muscular men often don’t aim to appeal to women so much as to other men. But of course, it’s more nuanced than “men like muscles, women don’t”. I think because a lot of social conditioning around sex centres men and male pleasure so heavily, you may be hard pressed to find a direct equivalent to a lot of fantasy tropes (often leading to false equivalencies) without a lot of de-centering first. It’s complicated and I appreciate the effort you’re putting in to understand!

Personally, I love my giants to be broad-shouldered and sculpted like a statue, but it’s not necessary. I’d like for him to be attractive, but the specifics of his looks comes secondary to his personality, actions, intentions and the overall story. It’s a feature, not the main event. As @littlest-lily says,

the kink is around the fact that he’s much, much bigger. And then at that point I care more about what he does than what he looks like.

Mad respect to anyone who is able to record themselves to share with others, whether it’s ASMR, roleplaying, radioplay-style, audiobook/narration, etc. I get too weirded out at hearing my own voice that I can’t even bring myself to listen to recordings to practice and improve

But seriously, 5’ 7" seems rather tall for women, no? “Ideal” height my arse.

@blehb said:

While 5’7 isn’t super tall, it is interesting that the ideal height was above the average for women.

For a long time, I defaulted on the belief that men liked short women. So I found it very interesting to learn that there are a lot of men who don’t like a big size difference (“big” by “normie” standards). They preferred shorter women, but otherwise liked for them and their partners to be of similar heights. One guy, for example, described interactions with short women as physically awkward when it came to hugs and kisses. Dude was clearly an amateur, but it was fascinating nonetheless.

@blehb said:

I’m curious how the results would differ under a more extensive study, though I wouldn’t be surprised if they were still the same.

Here is a recent (2022) cross-cultural study of height preferences in a partner, done with 500 men and women across Canada, Cuba, Norway and the US. It found a general preference for taller-than-average men and shorter-than-average women, but interestingly, they also found that the men (but not the women) had a preference for shorter women for short-term relationships, and taller women for long-term.

Anyway, so skimming through the article. For Canada: the preferred height for women was 165.6cm (5’5") for short-term relationships and 167.2cm (5’5.8" or just say 5’6"). So the preferred height has been reduced! Cuba, Norway and the US are shorter - though just a bit!

We’re just kind of boring.

Nah, we’re our own brand of compact fun

I’ve always loved the idea of a callous giant who can’t be bothered to relate to the tiny people at his feet. He has no issue trampling their cities or ruining their lives. Then, for whatever reason, he’s forced to understand the pain that he’s inflicted. Those “bugs” are people – with hopes and dreams, and he goes through a change of heart.

Be still, my heart I’m such a sucker for some empathy building on the giant’s end (bonus points if he’s retained some meanness, but he’s working on it)

@littlest-lily said:

I feel like I’ve vaguely explored that concept when writing if I think about it (like a character feeling like “dammit, I need to stop being so scared of him! I’ll to force myself to interact so I get used to him!”)

Yes! Actively engaging or confronting the Giant is wonderful. I imagine that, just like exposure to other things, sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it makes it worse. Different treatments for different people. If you or @SmolChlo (or anyone else) end up creating something around a retreat or wellness centre, I would happily consume.

On the topic of fear and fetishes: first, I hope that I didn’t come across as dismissive by sharing my own experience - I worried that it was giving off a “wElL I dOn’T fEeL tHe SaMe So ThAt CaN’t Be RiGhT” vibe. I also genuinely thought that the article would just be an interesting little primer on fetish development that highlights, I think, that almost any theory from anyone’s personal experience is a valid one. We know so little about fetish development in general: literally all these studies saying “we need to do MORE studies”

Second, to make up for it and if anyone is interested, someone wrote a thesis that is publicly available on the correlation between anxiety and fetish/paraphilia development (I realise it’s not fear per se, but I think they’re closely related). There have been lots of studies that suggest a correlation between the two, but the author argues “no specific link” and, essentially, that it’s a bit more complicated - something we can all appreciate, methinks. There are more recent studies available, but her review of studies and existing theories at the time (2011) might address some of the common questions on fetishes/paraphilia in general - beyond unsubstantiated bunk. Really fascinating, but understandably not the lightest of reads. I only VERY quickly skimmed through some sections.

I prefer giants/growth to tiny/shrunk scenarios. For me, it’s the thrill of seeing and interacting someone so much larger and more powerful than me AND everybody/everything else. In coupling scenarios, I find an intimacy or sweetness in the “tiny” being the one and only centre of the giant’s world - he can take his pick of anything and anyone (singular or plural), do whatever he wants with them, but it’s only one little speck that makes any sort of impact on him personally.

FWIW I never got into feet. Not as a tiny; in fact, I’m quite neutral on it to the point it might be the one thing I’d be chill with were I in a giantess mood (rare.)

I’m the same with feet: not my thing, never has been. I don’t mind them being used as a device to emphasise the tiny’s smallness (or giant’s bigness), like a foot stomping down in front of them, or being almost stepped on. It’s more of a threat to their life, rather than something either of them take sexual pleasure in. For spicier scenarios, they’d make contact but there’s never emphasis on the foot itself - it’s almost akin to having a hand pin a tiny down, but I acknowledge it is a bit more humiliating.

Ballsacks, though.

Playfully tumbling down each pectoral like a grassy hill. Feeling the soft texture of his cotton shirt that’s saturated with his scent soothes me like no other. Big appreciation for men’s chest

Short-medium answers:

I prefer mouthplay to vore. And to me, the appeal of mouthplay is its intimacy and the thrill of its precariousness. It is both threatening, but - as a fluff/romance fan - also an exercise in trust.

Whereas I’ve only relatively recently gotten into cockvore. And I’ve discovered that the the appeal there is the clear show of power, dominance and especially humiliation. The insertee can be a single person, a collective, a bus or train, or whole building - I don’t care, so long as they are miniscule in comparison to the giant. No tight squeezes; just drop, slide, disappear. Barely what you’d call a toy - more like fodder.
