Okay he’s not a “giant” in the sense we think of, but he’s still freaking SEVEN FOOT TWO (218 cm!)

But what if - and hear me out -

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

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of reading this lovely story, or just want to hear me somehow make it more , then allow me to read it for you…

I’ve gushed before, I’ll gush again: she absolutely nails it 🥰

I’d love to back up locally but I’m not even sure how to do that since I don’t have Microsoft Office…

This article also rattled me when I found out about it. I don’t think there’s a straight alternative/dupe of Google docs that there’s a big consensus on.

If you’re just after a word processor, you’ve got things as simple as Notepad to something more feature-rich as Scrivener (it’s not free, but is a one-off payment and you can install on multiple devices). WordPad would have been my go-to if I didn’t have Word, but I believe it has been discontinued. LibreOffice Writer has also been rated quite well as a free processor that you can download and work on remotely.

It gets more complicated if you’re looking to collaborate and/or keep files saved on the cloud.
This person suggests a few options which could be worth a try. MS Word Online is also free to use and doesn’t require a subscription. For cloud storage alone, Dropbox is pretty reliable, widely used and the free storage tier would probably be adequate if it’s just for documents.

@FairyFanatic thank you! I’ll happily share if I create anymore, writing or drawing

I’m fortunate to have one of my best friends being into size stuff and we constantly share scenarios, ideas, creative projects etc. Very, very few of my friends know otherwise, and those I’ve told years ago have probably forgotten (or I like to believe that they think I’ve moved on from it all - that’s what I tell them anyway).

My ex knows, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s used it to paint me as some weirdo to mutuals, including to others in our profession - bit of a concern when the national field is rather small - but what can you do?

I shared recently with my current partner: aside from him just being amazing anyway, I was spared a lot of additional embarassment with a simple acknowledgement and some general follow-up questions. Not in an apathetic way either, he could tell I was sharing something really personal and was already uncomfortable. It makes me giddy when he reminds me that I (5’3") am small compared to him (6’2")

@nyx I remember this story! And still a great read. So many lines that are just thank you for posting

Ugh I love noses so much. They’re so handsome.

Noses are lovely ️ boops, little kisses on the tip and nuzzles along the bridge are some of my favourite interactions. It’s a very intimate spot

So the God of War franchise is no stranger to titan sized beings with the Greek Titans making plenty of appearances pre-PS4, and Norse Giants/Joten (who are not always literal giants) playing a key role in our protagonists’ story in the more recent Next Gen versions.

Sadly, there’s not much in terms of M/f content, with one brief scene I remember in GoW2 with Rhea and Kronos at 0:50 :

Another is the interactions between Pandora and Hephaestus in GoW3, the story of her creation here at 1:40 :

But one part I think of note is from the more recent GoW Ragnarok involves Atreus entering the home of the giantess, Gryla, to save some animals. I realise the scene below focusses primarily on Atreus, a teenage boy, but he is accompanied by Angrboda, who is also the granddaughter of Gryla. Also, there are some nice perspective/comparative shots of them against features of a giant’s home, kitchenware and Gryla herself. I guess this could be for the exploration fans!

This part of the story itself is quite sad (but what part of the game isn’t?) with themes of abandonment, loss and the toll grief can take on family.

Scale is maybe 1:6 ?

“Mm-hmm." He sounds unbothered so I settle in.

Narrator: “He was very bothered.”

@Olo said:

She’s of course experiencing both fear and eagerness, which is why the heart on the floor is divided.

The best kind of uppies ️

Just watched the trailer and it looks super cute! Didn’t think it would be a comedy either so that’s a plus

@littlest-lily said in Out of their Element:

Along with today’s chapter I also wanted to give the head’s up that I’m having a medical procedure tomorrow. It shouldn’t cause any kind of hiatus (because that would be terrible timing with how things are going in the story), but if I end up going quiet for a few days then that’s why

Good luck and speedy recovery! ️

hey in this economy you do what you must to make ends meet

It’s true. May as well do something you enjoy.

@Olo said:

I think they’re both receiving their bonuses.

More incentive to keep up the good work.

Thanks for bumping that, it was a great (re-)read!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it

@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

@littlest-lily I can’t help but feel that this is the real calm before the storm…
