Get a male friend to preread and draw attention to this specific aspect. I’m sure they would be happy to help you with the accuracy. I love when someone corrects me somewhere I don’t have the expertise in, just makes the writing better.
Ahaha yes, that would be the easiest route. I’ll have to sort out my many other confidence issues 
but for now will settle on reading other works, or asking my partner “so what your peen do when…?” And taking notes.
That is adorable and so nice 
good job, husband!

@littlest-lily cameras on phones are wonders for smol perspectives, but the illusion is also very easy to break if it’s not done carefully or thoughtfully. Though I imagine we’re an audience that’s a bit harder to please since we’re much more perceptive and sensitive to this kind of stuff (hence also why I also prefer audio at this stage).
Atlas ASMR put out a really nice video a couple of years ago which is one of the very few ASMR acting videos that I still REALLY like. Wonderful angle and the sound is just…MMPH. You may have already seen it, but sharing for anyone curious https://youtu.be/f3cR9ALOacE?si=hxyd5s-3Cq8eyQJO
@TakoAlice8 the Amazon “classification” in the size community is likely just from the modern use of the term “Amazon” outside of the size community. “Amazon” has generally been attributed to not only warrior classes of women, but women who are muscular and also often tall (as in, taller than average and within the realms of realism). I would guess that the more exaggerated heights were a stylistic choice to… embellish or emphasise the perceived strength and power of the women, which we are all very familiar with.
So it was a natural choice for the size community to adopt to describe a particular preference for their fantasies, i.e. tall, strong, muscular women.
@SmolChlo I can ham up the Australian drawl. That tends to be a pleaser for some reason (jk, I know why - we sound ridiculous).
Potential SPOILER ALERT for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
I’ve been playing AC: Valhalla, and recently came across a cut scene for the death of a key antagonist. What was unexpected was a brief inclusion of the main protagonist’s brother as a giant followed by a decent handheld. It arguably treads into VSW territory, except that the antagonist is already dead and there is minimal blood in the sequence (sorry for those who like that), but she does scream before a crunch. If you play as the female version of the protagonist, there is the added bonus of having another woman in the sequence but it’s much more limited. The video in this case shows the male version.
Size ratio is about 1:12 (I’d prefer him bigger, but still a nice watch).
Other notable themes/content are: woman at giant’s feet, giant imprisoned and bound, giant breaking out of his bonds and then standing to display stature, man turned god/monster, giant taking vengeance on captor. All of which are -chef’s kiss-
Start of cut scene at 4:32, size related content at 4:57:
Full disclosure, I haven’t listened to the podcast yet.
@foreverlurk got me curious to look up research and published work on macrophilia, because, yeah, that sounds really outdated and unsubstantiated. I mean, it might be true for some people, but I think it’s, at best, an extremely uninformed conclusion.
Professor Mark Griffiths posted a decent blog piece on macrophilia in 2012. It already seems a hell of a lot of insightful into the psychology of extreme size differences. Note his comment on Friedman’s comments:
"However, most online accounts by macrophiles that I have read online, don’t seem to match the psychological profile put forward by Dr. Friedman. "
I know that we, as fans, have enough insight to dismiss her comments (as you have), but perhaps it’s some consolation to see an informed observation coming from the outside.
I’d love to see the results of a survey/study on size fetishes/fascinations more broadly - the few papers I’ve skimmed so far focus on a single person and treats it like a mental illness, which is neither particularly representative or very encouraging. I’ve mentioned before that even a demographics survey would be cool (someone did one a while ago that did the rounds for a few months).
TL;DR Dr Friedman’s comments are, at best, questionable speculation on the roots of macrophilia/size fetishes.
@littlest-lily how dare you share this gift distraction

That said, personally, the idea of having a sizey interaction with a celeb or internet famous person feels a tad ooky on the grounds that 1- I don’t know them personally and 2- It toes the lines of consent.
Sure, famous people have porn made in their likeness after all. Someone literally turned Rebecca Black into a giantess once (which she seemed receptive to when asked about it, funnily enough.) But I ask myself how I would feel if random people had my photos and were turning me into a giantess or manipulating my body or face to fit their particular fantasy without my knowledge. And you know what… it doesn’t feel great. lol
Same, and for the same reasons. So my fantasies don’t involve people in real life, which extends to celebrities or other public figures.
In saying that, some giants I’ve fantasised about (or created original characters with) have been inspired by characters played by certain celebrities, or their physical characteristics like hair, face or body shape, noses, hand size, etc. Features that I generally find attractive. Henry Cavill (lololololol) has made the list, along with Lee Pace, Richard Armytage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and a handful of professional wrestlers for their great thighs.
Not sure if there’s a thread for this already, but anybody have any webcomics or webtoons with size content (centring around the theme, or simply containing in some way)?
For clarity, this includes comics published online (legally and usually for free or for a small access/subscription fee). As an example, my personal go-tos are Webtoons, Tapas and Manta.
I was reminded recently after reading the latest episode of Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe on Webtoons. This comic is a contemporary interpretation of the Greek gods and mythology, with a focus on the relationship between Hades and Persephone (with a non-r*pe take). A fantastic comic in general and I highly recommend it for the story, humour and art, but an added bonus is the occasional size content. This usually comes in portrayals of the titans as being many times larger than the gods, who are assumed to be human-sized (with some being able to “grow to titan size” if they are powerful enough).
Another comic of note is The Falcon Princess on Tapas. A story about a princess whose consciousness is mysteriously transferred into the body of a small messenger bird. No one else knows, including the handsome captain of the guard who looks after her. For the first half of the comic she is portrayed as a bird, or as a human in flashbacks. But there have been times her “human form” figuratively substitutes her “bird form” to represent her feelings about (and being in) a certain situation for the reader. Think, woman in birdcage type scenes.
I’m afraid I can’t share screenshots of said scenes, but LR is free to read and TFP has free episodes + “wait until free” type service (inconvenient at times, but Tapas has got lots of content to pass the time).
Anybody else have any suggestions?

- That looks like a giant phone
- Imagine a giant texting that to all of the normal-sized people in the area just before he shows up
Oh no, I’m glad I’m not walking through again right now, because this has got me all flustered

I’ve bought so many books and other media based on the fact that they appeared to be giant-related.
@Olo said:
Comic books are the worst in this regard. Size differential has such an immediate and universal symbolic meaning.
Aren’t they just? Like there was absolutely no chance that Reacher would have any sizey stuff happening (just posted as a bit of fun), but it’s much harder to tell with fantasy, sci-fi and horror media in general. I appreciate the imagery, but my little heart and my bank account can only take so much disappointment
Speaking of comics: here’s a few choice pages from a JLA comic someone from CF kindly posted a while ago. When I first saw the cover, I thought “oh, this must be symbolic.”
It wasn’t.
I like to revisit this one when I’m looking for “giant superheroes causing accidental chaos in a city” inspiration :3
@FairyFanatic thank you! I’ll happily share if I create anymore, writing or drawing
