@Za-Rein Gently pick her up, dry her tears, tell her everything’s going to be okay. Give her shelter, food, clothes. Let her adjust to her new life and perspective with the right amount of space and respect.

@Za-Rein TEA-BAG! TEA-BAG!
The duality of giants right here.
@SmolChlo said in What are your favorite clothing items for giants/tinies?:
rd to the constant clicking of freshly shined shoes. I like to imagine myself shrinking down on my way to a meeting and a pair of those powerful shoes suddenly stopping right in front of me.
I’m so tired of being told what I should find empowering and what I should find degrading!
Google AI that’s what I think of you!
I surely hope the same canned response results from a search for a giant woman or shrunken man. But I won’t get my hopes up.
@SizePrize69 I define femgaze as having women be the storytellers, rather than the women in the story being, well, a spectacle. I think it really is simple as that. A lot of giantess stories for example write the woman as more of an NPC. She had no life nor purpose prior to growing into a giantess, but now her singular purpose in life is to be big and sexy and flaunt it in your face.
I like the woman having agency, I like learning about who she is first and how the change she undergoes affects her life. I like when the giant man has a purpose as well, and I like knowing how he feels about the situation- especially if he’s the one causing it.
I like this complexity because when the naughty bits do come into play, knowing how they feel about one another sets the entire tone. A man handling his little lady with care and affection is an entirely different mood and presses totally different buttons than a man having his way with her because he’s horny and doesn’t care one bit for her safety (which, I’ll add, is also sexy but the point is the distinction matters!)

I certainly would have brought the average down a bit hehe.
“What is your ideal height for a woman?”
“… 3 inches…”
“Pardon? 5 foot, 3 inches?”
“cough”
@miss-lillipants AO3 is a fantastic platform, I second you setting up camp there. It’s especially great for taboo subjects, which… well, you never know when you’ll be in the mood for something risqué. The tagging system is what sets it apart from other writing sites, anything goes as long as it is properly tagged. There’s also an audience for original works and I’ve got quite a massive collection of size fiction privately bookmarked. 
And an anonymous collection for when I’m brave enough to share my own.
I actually have something on my docs along these lines, but it’s been very hard to write because it started as a therapeutic piece for myself. Sort of a hurt and comfort dynamic except I take the ugly, raw parts and have turned them up to mirror my own experiences with trauma therapy. I’m talking full on breaks in the presence of a professional, verbal abuse, avoidance, SI, the nine yards. Except the therapist is a giant, and therefore the source for a lot of triggering moments.
I can’t imagine anyone wants to read that, so it’s a private doc. I thought that maybe if I were to trim out a lot of the intenseness and zero in on a more optimistic narrative it could be palatable. But if I did that I felt the context would be neutered and it just wouldn’t… work.
Seriously though, what is the appetite for trauma-genre? The discourse here is making me wonder if it would be worth putting it out there someday.

So is firebolt_ lurking on here?
Just expose me eh
Damn giants always sniffing me out of my hiding spots smh
Oh no now everyone knows my secret
Guys I’m

I’m sorry you had to find out this way
As you say, conflict drives the story. So roll with that. It’s personal taste, but I’m partial to soft and fluffy stories where the happy moments are earned.
This may go without saying but longer, more character-driven narratives lend themselves to that sort of development. I love it when the characters we’re focusing on are thrown right into the clutches of conflict. I like seeing them work through it and find a harmony between themselves in doing so, whatever that might look like.
@Olo In any case yes, I keep seeing this bs rhetoric lately trying to define feminism in terms of how we express our sexual desires. I keep seeing comments about how giant men are somehow gross with no regard for the fact that maybe they’re kink-shaming. Men asking OTHER MEN what women like about being dommed and if it’s a moral failure to not “let them be their inner giantess” (
) rather than just, you know, talking to some women.
It’s especially harder in male-dominated spaces to have your voice heard, when you’d love to indulge your kinks but the moment you share anything catering to a M/f fanbase it gets shamed and buried because they don’t like it. Meanwhile, a picture of a giant female ass and drooling vagina hovering over a city takes over the whole algorithm. As someone who already struggles with shame, this stings and often pushes me deeper in the closet.
So yes, this discussion here did influence my mood a bit, and I had to go yell somewhere.
I’ve been around the site for little over a decade and you’re always going to find this sort of discourse that’ll make you chuckle. Exhibit A:
It’s hard to resist telling them that, as a 5’0" woman myself, yes I like my men tall. Very tall. No like, really, really, really–
@tiny-ivy She was THIS CLOSE to telling us about her harem of giant viking men.

@blehb said in I found a crumb of M/f in a manga:
That is a fantastic meme. I do wonder about the connection between fear and sexuality in the brain.
There is absolutely something to this. There’s a podcast out there called “Whatever you’re into”, I don’t know if they’re still running it. But they interview people with really wild fetishes and there’s a common thread that becomes apparent- most of them found it scary as a child. Puffers were frightened by balloons. Someone with a breath fetish was terrified of being sucked into a vacuum as a child. They mentioned people with clown fetishes were terrified of Pennywise. There was even a macrophile they interviewed who imagined herself as a tiny mouse to hide from everything that frightened her.
I have a very close friend who has a very intense fantasy about Sadako (the Ring) crawling out of the television and raping him while he’s petrified in fear and disgust. (I learned this wasn’t as unique as it sounds, there’s a ton of R34.) There’s also an SCP that is inserted into the same exact fetish.
