@tiny-ivy Got a heavy 80s AIDS scare from this one.

Ironically, I find that size-differential tends to…loosen one’s gender preferences, particularly for the larger party. From my SM experiences I know that a tiny man falling into the clutches of a dude like Sean might result in “situational homosexuality.” I have to assume that a “straight” giantess would be tempted to take similar liberties with a shrunken women.

Your scenario makes this even more complicated because even admitting same-sex attraction to yourself seems to make one vulnerable to shrinking. Then shits like Sean layer on their twisted religious guilt to keep everyone in the closet (or, in this case, cupboard).

My culture’s stuff is mostly about the Devil.

Need to get more First Nations stories in there. Lots of Biggos up north.

@smolchlo Anything’s possible in fantasy.

I personally think it’s acting more like a slow-spreading curse than like a virus, based on that. I think the virus is the news media’s explanation of a mysterious phenom.

I was definitely leaning toward this interpretation. That it seems to propagate intolerance of queerness makes it all the more oppressive.

It’s a common trope for homophobes like Sean to decide to punish any gay man that falls into their clutches by raping them. Since he thought he was holding two shrunken gay men, I half-expected him to take them into the bathroom and jack off with/onto them. Only his fear of the “virus” stopped him.

Honestly, I try to be somewhat ‘realistic’ with my ridiculous ideas, and the only way I can see normal humans building their lives around a giant who can step on a car and not even notice is if there’s a bigger threat that drives them to it.

Sometimes when an idea seems silly, the best remedy is to get even sillier.

Yeah, world-building is a lot of work, but boy does it pay off when you have multiple characters who become much more real when silhouetted against that world.

@mrgoblinging7 I often imagine Valerie and Betty from Land of the Giants wearily trading war stories about the last time they fell into the clutches of a horny giant:

“So he starts to tear my skirt off, and I yell, ‘Let me do it!’”

“I know; it’s not like you can replace it at the local shop, right?”

“So then he tapes me down on the table and—”

“Lemme guess: he unbuckled his pants.”

“No, I never saw his dick! This guy just wanted to lick me!”

“Between your legs?”

“Nope, just my armpits and the soles of my feet.”

“You get all the pervs, Val. I’ve been washing my hair every day for six weeks and I can still smell the last guy’s jizz.”

Maybe an encounter with a flirtatious bi woman who hopes that lots of sex with men will make her immune.

Innoculated by jizz. Booster shots daily.

I forgot to mention that I enjoyed the “Transitive” pun in the title.

@littlest-lily It’s funny, I was just trying to think of any Lawful Neutral biggos, and Camila came to mind. She’s not malicious, she just thinks everyone would be better off if Evie were confined to a drawer somewhere.

Isn’t a Borrower’s life tough enough without having to diagnose the mental health of the biggos you’re dodging?

@littlest-lily I presume Aiden’s relationship status remains: “It’s complicated.”

If Evie likes swimming pools, she’s gonna love bathtubs.

@foreverlurk No, that’s @Minutia (DA, Xitter).

Now I can’t stop thinking about a shrunken woman who stuffs her bra with jelly beans.

I’ve often thought of tinies as ideal therapists, as non-threathening as they are, makes it easier to open up.

Ideal. They can even surreptitiously accompany you for stressful situations and talk you down from a panic attack.

@tiny-ivy I suppose he has godlike invulnerability, because otherwise there’s no way I’m letting that chopper get that close to my junk.
