One advantage tinies have is that they are so much more aware of subtle changes in biggos’ behavior and expressions. They’d probably dominate at poker.

@nyx It’ll be fun to see that pecking order get established.

Go ahead, keep laughing at him.

I can’t go anywhere size-y without seeing them because they’re everywhere.

They’re the reason that, when someone asks me about size fantasy, I don’t tell them to simply Google it.

@dr-tol Sweet. Luscious. So fragile, so precious. I’d curl my immense body around her to protect her, just to feel her fluttering heart against my skin. Look up at me, darling, and let me hold you forever.

@littlest-lily Ah, this was much-needed comfort food. He has no soul who could refuse “Couch cuddles?”

Brave, good faith efforts on both their parts. Aiden’s naïveté regarding police was more than made up for by his fulsome declaration. “I like you this way” is such a loaded statement; I’m glad they both have the patience and trust to explore it fully.

Looking forward to meeting the woman who would dare marry Diego.

Can’t tell if there’s more of them or if their just louder

One way to think of it is as another iteration of the same gatekeeping behavior guys (online and off) engage in regarding their fandoms. I’ve seen it in comic books, video games, sci-fi, sports, and of course politics. As @Nyx said, GTSbros are extremely vocal, and since they think they invented size fantasy any deviation from their specific scenario is “wrong.”

@i-am-insane:

It’s very… I don’t know, it makes me think of a death cult, sometimes.

I think at least part of this goes back to the poor self-image some of these guys seem to cultivate. They are attracted to women but they have convinced themselves that they have nothing to offer women, so the only satisfactory resolution is to have women destroy them. Reading their stories, these acts of destruction are invariably provoked by some selfish and entitled male behavior that needs to be punished. They feel that they are programmed to be selfish jerks, so they expect women to naturally agree to destroy them.

The key element here is that is an entirely self-absorbed fantasy that violently resists any input from others, least of all from any woman that is exposed to it. This isn’t roleplaying or fantasy-sharing, it’s narcissistic projection. When someone challenges or deviates from this “standard” fantasy, it’s a threat to their self-image so they feeled justified in harrassing the person who has different preferences. They can’t just let different folks get different strokes; we have to be silenced because we’re “ruining Giantess.”

One of the major differences between men and women is that women can’t feel sexually attracted to a man who they don’t respect.

I’m gonna have to disagree with this. Some straight women absolutely can be sexually attracted to men who they feel are beneath them (some of them insist upon it). Some of them need a man to look up to (heh). Some want an equal partner. All these preferences are valid and none of them say anything about such women’s character, intelligence, maturity, politics, or anything else.

The only time you’ll see the Giantess in me come out is on DA. Let me catch you being rude to a fellow M/f fan

As fearsome as tiny Emma on Gen V. She straight-up killed a guard by jumping into his ear and tunneling through to the other ear. Badass SW, she was.

I suppose I have to put in a #NotAllGiantessFans disclaimer, because I know several F/m fans who are into destruction/crush/fatal scenarios but who are also respectful people who don’t try to force others into performing according to their demands. There’s nothing inherently toxic about the destructive Giantess rampage scenario, it’s just got a vocal and embarrassing contingent of fans.

There’s a pair of tasty Jehovah’s Witnesses at the bus stop every morning. One day I’m gonna take 'em home in my pocket and show them my testimony.

@littlest-lily I’ve said this before, but the fact that Evie didn’t know any of these people before she became tiny greatly simplifies how their relationships have developed. She’s already confronted the possibility that Aiden might “like her better this way,” and here Moira and Diego—while showing love and acceptance—tell Evie that they’ve adapted to having a three-inch-tall friend for the foreseeable future. If Evie is ever to be restored to full-size, she’s going to need her friends’ help, and she needs them to want that as much as she does. I’m curious to see the reaction of someone who knew Evie at full-size to see her as she is now (I just hope it’s not Brock).

Oooo I’m curious what you mean by your kind of villain.

One of my favorite size themes is seeing how different people adjust to the power differential, particularly in worlds (like this one) where size-changing is unheard of and no one’s had to seriously consider it before. While Camila might not be the most mature young woman, there’s been nothing to suggest that she’s disrespectful of others or prone to depraved indifference or casual violence. Until she met a three-inch-tall romantic rival.

World-breaking size-differential (like Evie’s) also tends to break morality; this is a brand-new situation, so perhaps the old rules don’t apply. The amount of physical accommodation tiny people need is so absurd that full-size people are constantly forgetting or discounting it. Their sheer vulnerability argues that worrying about tinies’ welfare is a waste of time and effort.

Camila initially resisted recognizing Evie’s personhood, and honestly what kind of person is threatened by a bare foot? Evie’s inability to affect much of anything runs right up against the fact that she has clearly foreclosed Camila’s romantic ambition. That kind of dissonance can erode all manner of moral values.

So, “my kind of villain” is an otherwise considerate person corrupted by the power-differential between them and people much smaller than them.

It’s been interesting to see the reactions to Camila - even far before this particular chapter of her being more blatantly a bully there have been a lot of intense comments about her.

Genre-wise, Out of Their Element has been a Gentle size story. The main antagonist seems to be miscommunication. There’s been no foreshadowing of a return of Dr. Little, and even Brock could well remain safely in the backstory. Then, just as Evie and Aiden seem to have found their groove, Camila shows up and interrupts the string of New Characters Who Unhesitatingly Agree To Protect And Befriend Evie. Camila is the other shoe for which we’ve been waiting to drop (hopefully not literally).
