@frollo Gotta make me some tiny stirrups.

I’ve never seen Land of the Giants, I apparently need to change that!

It had some nice moments, but it had far more missed opportunities. Everything’s getting rebooted, why not LOTG?

@Nyx Links to any such examples of M/m dystopias?

I’m older and more experienced than Aiden, and I’d be mortified when I found out I had done this. A hundred bucks says he calls up Moira and begs her to take care of Evie until he can face up to this. It could set them both back months.

@Deedee There’s a long way to go in helping straight men develop better physical self-images, but a necessary step is embracing the (straight) female gaze in every element of society, including fetish porn.

@nyx I was today years old when I discovered Eowyn/Witchking shippers. For some reason I blame you.

That’s it for now; that’s as far as the original idea went. I have no immediate plans to continue this story; in fact, a couple of nicer stories are next up in the queue.

If I ever return to this, you can probably guess that this criminal enterprise—like so many others—will fall apart due to greed, impatience, and short-sightedness.

@blehb When you’ve got subjects of vastly different sizes, it’s often difficult to get all of the Biggo in frame. Nonetheless, I am typically less compelled by a Size image where I can’t see the Biggo’s expression.

In a non-Size context, I have no use for headless or faceless porn images. Not interested in the slightest.

@biggrumpy It would take several attempts from different perspectives. It’s only been in recent decades that anyone has openly discussed these desires as an abiding serious interest, and even then it’s been almost entirely anonymous. Trying to look back at historical examples of size fantasy and speculating, “Were they one of us?” seems like wishcasting, as the kids say.

@littlest-lily

Very glad to hear your operation went well! Have an easy recovery filled with sizey dreams!

@SmolChlo It occurs to me that I’ve never written any protracted M/f content, gentle or violent. Hmm…

@infinitesimalee I remember these from Tumblr. If I were in the habit of switching my avatar, the top image would be in the rotation.

@littlest-lily Yeah, this is would be a rotten place to leave us hanging.

I’m going to make a generalization and say that looking at an image of a random person or celebrity and deciding to incorporate that image into a personal sexual fantasy is a form of entitlement that anyone can indulge in but is massively encouraged by the male gaze. Men in our society have no problem speculatively placing anyone and anything into a sexual context, and this extends to discussion prompts like “Wouldn’t [X} make an awesome giantess?” and the thousands of sizey photoshops we’ve seen since the dawn of the Internet. I’m not saying this always wrong, exactly, but it’s an artifact of our sexist culture and we shouldn’t be surprised when women are less likely to engage in it.

The whole issue of photoshopping people without their consent (or legal permission to use the photos) is complicated because, to be blunt, Size Fantasy as a genre might not have become as popular as it is today without it. Today we have hundreds and hundreds of Size artists, writers, render artists, models, actors, and other creative people producing specifically with a Size fetish audience in mind. Thirty years ago we, uh, didn’t. Individual fetishists were creating for themselves, but they probably would never have started sharing their creations if they didn’t think there was an audience for it. In the 90s, simple photoshops of celebrities enlarged to 500-feet-tall were thrillingly easy to make and circulate, rapidly demonstrating that an audience for Size Fantasy did in fact exist. These days I don’t look twice at most Size photo collages, because tailored Size illustrations and renders exist in plenty. We also have models and actors who are intentionally posing to be 'shopped into Size collages, and those always make me smile. We now have the luxury of disregarding celebrity photo collages and pirated porn.

It’s kinda similar to how I’m not interested in fanfiction either and would much rather read original content involving size.

So here is where I admit that my autism is something of a hindrance to enjoying Size content. When I first started browsing Size Tumblr, I was flummoxed by all the characters from anime and videogames being shoehorned into size scenarios. Did these shows or games have regular Size themes? Some basic research indicated that no, they were from all manner of genres and didn’t particularly lend themselves to the scifi or supernatural genres where growth and shrinking were possible. It took me probably longer than necessary to realize that the artists and 3D modelers were using established characters from known fandoms because that’s all they had to work with. The fact that their giantess waifu was from a show where no one ever grew or shrank wasn’t an obstacle for them, but it was a constant frustration to me.

For me, the goal was to enjoy size differential itself, not imagine how established characters would appear and respond to a mixed-size juxtaposition. The backstories of these characters was a distraction at best and often spoiled the whole illusion. If they were from a genre where a Size encounter made sense, fantasy magic or superheroes, say, it was easier to accept. Giant Mulder or Shrunken Scully, sure. The Tiny Housewives of Beverly Hills, not so much.

So, yes, please, create original characters and settings for your Size scenarios. Put a little work into how they got that way. Take pity on the literal-minded.
