OpenHighHat, one of the most industrious and talented 3D render artists out there, has put out a poll on DA to gauge interest in “a gentle big male, small woman story.”

@foreverlurk I haven’t seen that quote (tweet), but it’s wonderful. Everyone should feel Free to Be Huge and Wee.

@Giant_12 No, there isn’t enough SW or M/f content out there to meet my needs (and what content is out there is often not to my taste). So, yes, irl “civilians” often (unknowingly) end up in my Size Fantasy life.

@foreverlurk Nice render to go with that sentiment:

Trying to keep and modify “giant” seems futile. In English the suffix “-ess” is how a generic noun is “marked” as female. It’s a deliberately sexist construction, assuming the default person is male.

I think we’d be better off using another synonym altogether or even inventing entirely new words.

@i-am-insane The biggest “inconvenience” that I hand-wave away is tiny voices being too faint and squeaky and giant voices being too loud and rumbly. I need my characters to be able to converse. Frequently and easily.

@foreverlurk I went looking for an online German translation of Gulliver’s Travels and I found this. Who knows what we’ll get this time?

I much prefer “lilliputienne”.

German doesn’t seem to like double consonants like those in “Lilliput.” Their words for male and female inhabitants of Lilliput are Liliputaner and Lililputanerin.

I bought the first hard copy of Milo Manara’s Gulliveriana I came across, which was in France. When Gulliveriana finally has her big disagreement with the Empress of Lilliput, she calls the latter a “Lilliputasse.”

@i-am-insane Dear flat-chested giantesses and short-dicked giants: You are every bit as overwhelming as more endowed biggos. In love and awe, the tinies
