A large number of people here on DA are really into the whole Giant/tiny size-difference type of thing and the interest seems to be spreading like wildfire.

Ironically, there are just as many different genres in this particular fantasy as in, say, science fiction, where one person might lean more towards movies like “The Dark Crystal” while others are drawn towards more hard-core movies like “Chronicles of Riddick” or “Aliens”.

The idea of being really small and seeing the world from that point of view has been with me since I was a child and has stayed with me into adulthood. I’ve talked with dozens of people over the years and have never found one single reason why this fantasy is so compelling to some and not to others, but its our differences that makes the world go round.

Until recently, I’ve attempted to keep a bit of anonymity on DA, but a friend of mine has encouraged me to give my own perspective on the subject.

Throughout my life, I’ve been shy, a bit withdrawn, and have even dealt with some pretty severe social anxiety. I’ve become a much more social person in recent years and try to surround myself with good friends as often as possible. Don’t get me wrong. I love people; their uniqueness, their similarities, and the multitudes of life stories that everyone has. But I still feel a bit overwhelmed by them most of the time and I believe that is why I’ve always imagined myself as being small.

It still surprises me about all the different views on the subject. I see a great deal of photos and/or stories that seem to concentrate on a violent end for the smaller person. I, on the other hand, look at it from a perspective of, “If I woke up one morning and found myself shrunk to the size of a small action figure, where would I want my life to go from there?”.

First off, I’d definantly want to be found by a close friend who I trusted and could confide in. Human interaction at that size would be very important to me. The thoughts of being wrapped up in the fingers of a giant hand brings me a feeling of safety and security that I can’t even begin to describe. To admit to oneself that your greatest wish would make you vulnerable and helpless can be quite embarrassing and humiliating, which is why I would want it to be someone who I trusted with my very life.

Second, I think the vast majority of people who came across a tiny person would treat them differently than they would if they were normal sized. For example, you’d act differently towards a mouse than you would an elephant. I think most people couldn’t help themselves but to feel a sense of power over their newly shrunken friend. Its what they do with that power that is important to me. For me, I’d much rather be looked upon as a beloved pet than an object to be tortured, or even worse . . . completely ignored.

Even in real life, I tend to be drawn towards people who are out-going, playful, and slightly domineering, yet still ultimately concerned with my well-being as a friend. To sum it up, I would readily accept a life of being played with like a hamster, in exchange for knowing that I was cared for and protected from the world by a giant who would cherish me as his own.

All in all, it’s still just a fantasy and I always try to portray my own feelings in the photos that I post. I’d love to talk to anyone out there about their own perspectives on the subject. Just drop me a note anytime.
