I prefer around 1:20; between 3-4 inches for tinies, or 100-150ft for giants. I’m a gentle fan so, for me, this gives enough size discrepancy for a lot of interaction with enough leeway to turn a fluffy situation into an intimidating or fearful one.
Lately though, I’ve been appreciating larger ratios (e.g. around <1-2 inches for tinies, or 200-400ft for giants) if I’m itching for more destruction, domination and godliness.
@TakoAlice8 said in Asexual Size kinkers, what are your struggles?:
I am not sure if I could be looking in the wrong places, but a lot of the pictures I found tend to focus more on sexual aspect of the fetish.
I’m not asexual, but am very sympathetic to this as my tastes have changed over the years. Whilst the content posted on this forum is primarily geared towards the sexual side, it’s not like it’s compulsory. To some people (I daresay a lot, if not most), there is far more to this fetish/fascination/interest/trope than sex, like @tinyborrower has highlighted (which btw is -chef’s kiss- ). I hope you feel comfortable to continue to share your thoughts, tastes and perspectives here 
Just watched the trailer and it looks super cute! Didn’t think it would be a comedy either so that’s a plus
@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.
Not sure if a post like this exists already, so apologies if something similar has been shared:
Anybody keen to share their resource(s) to assist in content creation? Or even just to help visualise for your own imagination?
I’m a fan of the 3-4 inch range for tinies (or 1:18-20 ratio equivalent if my maths is correct), but I find that it’s not a particularly common one when it comes to finding visual references for this, at least relative to say 5-6 inches (1:12-15) and even ≥1 inch. Reading this, it sounds so negligible but in a community of size fans, a difference of inch(es) really can be a big deal (hohohoho).
Additionally, I am a fan of consistency with respect to maintaining proportions between a giant and tiny. I don’t mean purposeful shrinking/growing over the course of a narrative; I refer to the inconsistent portrayal of a subject’s size to what’s been established, e.g. a 2-inch character, normally being the size of a thumb in some scenes, suddenly being the size of an entire hand in others. Old media is particularly notorious for this, but the occasional contemporary stuff (mostly mainstream) will do this as well, and I’m sure for various practical reasons.
Anyway, I was introduced to the easypose app a couple of years ago, and ever since I’ve been able to better visualise different scales - approximations only since it requires a lot of manual changing using anatomical proportions that aren’t strictly realistic, but are close enough to address the gaps. It’s an artist’s pose app with the option to change the scale of the model (partially or completely) as well as the camera angles, field of views, etc. And I was so rapt that the scaling option wasn’t as restricted as I initially thought. It’s limited in other ways, but it’s been very accessible and relatively easy to use (as someone who is not particularly savvy with 3D models and renders). So if ever I need just a visual reminder or reference of a finger-sized woman, it’s my go-to resource for drawing, writing or just scenes in my head.
Here are some screenshots as a sample of some dabbling (apologies if they come up oddly, I had some issues uploading while on my phone and it’s late and I’m very sleepy):
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 ?
@ThumbLoverVer2 said in Shrinking Story Ideas:
Giant: “Really… you’re not even fighting me about this?”
Tiny: “Will it change anything?”
Giant: “No. not really… Not even a little bit?”
Tiny: “Sounds like too much work.”
Relateable :')
So scaredy giants are adorable. I would absolutely read a story about this - it’s very much like Arrietty’s first encounter with The Boy! Also, so many people are afraid of tiny things, it’s pretty funny. Unless you live in Australia, then even the tiny things really do try to kill you.
Wholesome stories are always welcome in my book 
@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 
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:
Ooh curious! Love the addition of device details used to “capture” the scene
@tiny-ivy it’s the classic case right? Totally understand: it’s tough and frustrating to have so little time already to engage with things, let alone to create a thing too. I’m sure you don’t want to half-ass it either - for others, but also for yourself. It takes a lot of time and energy, so thank you for whatever you are able to give to your fellow size fans, especially all of us towards the M/f side of things 
@Technomage said in An appreciation for GIANTS:
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
