Travel can add different perspectives. If you want to feel short, visit the Netherlands, the country with the world’s tallest average height. If you want to feel tall, visit Indonesia or Peru.
I often wonder how @Jitensha is doing in Japan, which is shorter than average.
@littlest-lily Excellent tension-building, btw. I had no idea (or, rather, too many ideas) how this chapter would end.
I suspect Evie will now permit Aiden to commit a little trespassing.
@Kisupure “Frigid,” as if that was the end of the story.
“Glorious Dollar Points?”
It’s perfectly normal to keep a woman in mind for months or years before you’re ready to shrink her. Not that I have any personal experience with that.
I’m reminded of an old Tumblr thread that can be found at the start of this post. Like most kinks, I imagine, size fantasy allows for experimentation.
I’m not attracted to men, but I were in the clutches of a male giant I would find it scary but exhilarating. Similarly, if in my hunting for shrunken women a few tiny men accidentally ended up in my collection, I think I’d enjoy their plight almost as much as the little ladies’. After all, tinies can’t be choosers.
@littlest-lily Ryder continues to take presumptuous liberties with Isabelle, but perhaps my favorite presumption is giving her a pet name. With peers one tries out a nickname to see if the subject will permit its use before adopting it. Ryder extends no such courtesy to “Sweetie.”
“You and I have a unique bond”
At least she’s honest with herself about how attractive she finds this situation and not pretending to be gaslit. I wonder if she’ll think to ask him how many others he’s “sent down there” and what happened to them.
Looking forward to the smut…
There are many different important issues raised by this thread. The comparison to furries is instructive and probably deserves its own thread.
I was about to ask @TakoAlice8 what she imagined size fantasy “going beyond the fetish” would look like, but her recent post clarified that somewhat. “Fandom” was precisely the word I was going to suggest, primarily because it captures that obsessive interest that defies mainstream acceptance. I agree with @AnnDViant that “going mainstream” would almost certainly transform size fantasy, quite possibly losing what fans (both SFW and NSFW) love about it.
Like many long-time size fantasists, I have often lamented that whenever size differential appears in mainstream content it fails to address my personal, fetish-based interests. If size fantasy were to “go mainstream,” I argued, there would be many more opportunities for them to “get it right.” Judging from the SFW G/t folks still on Tumblr, mainstream size content also fails to deliver on the important tropes of what they call their “emotional support fantasy.”
At present, mainstream size content is restricted to children’s stories and fantasy/sci-fi/horror. The “holy grail” would be a size story that is, as Ann put it, more adult and less paranormal. This would create the dramatic space for encounters that satisfy the needs of both SFW and NSFW size fans. For a while some of us entertained the hope that the movie Downsizing would be that breakthrough moment, but we were disappointed (to put it mildly).
I’m no longer waiting on the mainstream media to catch on to this. I’m trying to write more stories that are dramatically adult that just happen to include size differential, with relatable people of different sizes who have complex relationships. I still write the short stroke stories when necessary, of course.
@littlest-lily I got halfway through this at work when I realized I would need to finish it at home.
