@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.
@SmolChlo It occurs to me that I’ve never written any protracted M/f content, gentle or violent. Hmm…
@tiny-ivy I lost my job three months into COVID, and I’ve been temping and interviewing ever since. Eerily like contracting a shrinking plague.
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.
@sloppy_amy I’ve found that it’s difficult to crush a skull that’s still in use.
@littlest-lily I almost linked this, too (it’s a three-hour video). Key concept: “Disavowal.” Enjoying guilt-inducing pleasure by attributing the desire for it to the monster and disavowing that you wanted it yourself.
@size_master I can attest it was much easier to collect shrunken pets back then when there weren’t cameras everywhere. 
@littlest-lily Funnily enough, this was the first one (!). It was recommended by another Size writer who watched it and was chagrined to realize that his most recent story was actually a gender-swapped Twilight, to which I replied with:
@kisupure I remain deeply impressed by your ability to make the environment so compelling, rising above and rendering trivial the human-nak conflict. I also really enjoy how the hardship afflicts Gray and Rice differently.
Rice, and all the sons of the Algorithm, were an attempt at something new, and it was that newness that drew her to him.
This reminds me of a path-not-taken by the recent iteration of Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons are a very young civilization, and they look at humans with a weird mix of arrogance and deep insecurity. This story’s tropes encourage Rice to (seem to) have boundless confidence, and his knowledge of how the corpsmen are being farmed by the Naks keeps him from speaking freely around Gray, but he has to be aware of how precarious the whole setup is, and you have deftly hinted at that.
Of course, now I want to know how the new sentinel also knows the corpsmen by name. Has Rice been gossiping?
@frollo Your “captions” improve the longer they are. I’d like to see the whole story.
Also, if I’m working that gig, I’d definitely waive the entire fee to keep one of the guests.
