Deviant Diaspora

Here we go again. DeviantArt has recently increased take-downs of art and entire accounts without warning or explanation. Earlier this year they updated their policies regarding sexual themes and erotic and fetish content. Since DA doesn’t provide any explanations for their removal of art or suspension of accounts, creators are left to speculate as to what content violated which policy and how.

I have seen multiple hypotheses for why DA is increasing the removals lately. There’s always the general pressure from advertisers to remove adult content that is part of the ongoing Pornocalypse. Some people have noted that DA seems to be pushing Deviants to make their content subscriber-only so that DA can take their cut, and if you’re not charging for your content DA doesn’t really want you around. One speculation is that DA is training their AI statistical-generation algorithm on user content and vore somehow confounds the algorithm.

Last week, Karbo (a longtime Deviant and a pillar of the vore community) had his entire DA account deleted. Many creators who produce Size or Vore content are taking this as an indication that DA has determined that those fetishes are in violation of their policies, and they are migrating to different platforms.

You should always check a site’s policies before uploading any content, although be warned that such policies are always subject to change with little or no notice. Remember, if the platform is free to use, you’re not the customer, you’re the product.

Eka’s Portal, of course, will always be safe for vore content. Twitter still allows most NFSW content, primarily because they’re not trying to do any content moderation at all, but with Musk you can never rely on anything for very long. I’ve seen people considering Itaku, Newgrounds, Inkblot, and Pixiv as alternative platforms. I’ve made lurker accounts on all four sites just to keep current on my favorite artists.

Understandably, many people are trying to make sure their followers can find them on their new account(s). Linktree is one option for people trying to centralize and update their contact information online. I continue to maintain my Where To Find Everyone page that I first set up for Tumblwintr in December 2018. It hasn’t been updated much lately, only when some people fled Twitter after Musk took over. If you want me to add or update your listing, feel free to contact me.

What’s All This, Then?

In the almost five years that I’ve had this blog, I would estimate that there have been hundreds of visitors innocently clicking on search engine results and then finding themselves confronted with shrunken people getting handled, dangled, entrapped, engulfed, scrutinized, and utilized. I suppose, therefore, that I should finally write up a page explaining this blog and Size Fantasy for all those unsuspecting tourists.

Accordingly, here is this blog’s long-overdue About page. Links have also been added to the Main Menu and sidebar.

As always, feedback of all kinds is welcome.

Tiny Roommate – Taking The Plunge

A Condensed story. Inspired by Galiagan’s Tiny Roommate series. Sequel to Tiny Roommate.

Content Notes: F/m, shrunken man, mouthplay, panty entrapment

Brian kept Jessica on her toes, that’s for sure.  Admittedly, she hadn’t really thought through what agreeing to host a Condensed person would mean, but she doubted anything could have prepared her for this latest wrinkle.

She and Brian were hanging around the apartment as usual.  She hadn’t been going out much lately, and of course he couldn’t go anywhere she didn’t take him.  A toothpaste ad came on the TV, and an odd thought occurred to her.  She looked over at Brian sitting atop the pillow at the other end of the couch.

“Hey, Bri,” she said invitingly, “wanna try something weird?”

He had perked up as soon as she had started speaking.  “What kind of adventure did you have in mind this time?”

Jessica and Brian had already messed around with many diverting situations a Condensed person could find themselves in, and Brian had become quite familiar with many regions of Jessica’s corpulent body.  They had not yet, however, explored the circumstances she was now considering.

“What do you think about going inside my mouth?”

Scott Grildrig, Janice in the City, and Me

I don’t know if Janice in the City was the first size story that Scott Grildrig ever wrote, but it arguably set the standard for giantess rampage stories, and in the thirty years since he first published it it has remained firmly astride the size story canon it established. Note that it was initially posted in 1993 to the Usenet group alt.sex.stories, a forum for general erotica. Even though the school where I worked then had Usenet access, I would never have looked for such a story there, as I didn’t think anyone else out there was into what I would eventually call size fantasy, and certainly not in an erotic sense.

I’m A Virgo

I’m A Virgo is a short series (seven episodes, 30 minutes each) on Amazon Prime created Boots Riley (Sorry To Bother You), all of which became available on June 23, 2023. The primary theme is about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a young black man who happens to be 13-feet-tall, but it also veers into deconstruction the superhero genre and the necessity of destroying capitalism.

The chief attraction of the series for this blog is the depiction of sex between differently-sized people, and Cootie does get it on with Flora (Olivia Washington). If all you’re interested in is the big sex scene, it’s in Episode 4 (“Balance Beam”). No actual nudity is shown, but we do see topless Cootie and bare-shouldered Flora trying different positions, and the dialogue and sound effects go a long way toward illustrating what we all want to see.

No CGI was used in this series; they accomplish a lot with forced-perspective and puppets (a giant puppet for Cootie and half-scale puppets for everyone else). Cootie interacts with many half-scale sets and props, but there are also enough digital composite shots to allow all the differently-sized characters to be portrayed by actors simultaneously.

Did I mention that about halfway through the series a whole neighborhood of people wake up one morning shrunk to six inches or less? This phenomenon is never explained, and the first season concludes without any mention as to whether they remain tiny or who was responsible. The tinies get a small amount of interaction with the other characters, and one tiny man even makes a lewd advance to Flora (“It requires trust on my part”).

Apart from the sizey bits, the series is pretty good. It’s even more absurd than Sorry To Bother You, but gratifyingly so. In addition to his unusual size, Jerome has to portray Cootie as essentially home-schooled, as his (foster?) parents have kept him a secret all his life. Walton Goggins is superb as the main antagonist, showing just how criminally underused he was in Ant-Man and the Wasp. The pacing is uneven, and when the show loses focus on Cootie you wonder where it’s going. The dialogue is wonderful, however, and the art design is stunningly creative. There are no simple characters here; they all make you believe they have stories of their own (if few of them get satisfactory resolutions).

I hope they make another season. Olivia Washington has already been installed in my personal pantheon.

SizeCon 2023 — After-Action Reports

Happy Vore Day by Jitensha

It’s nowhere near as exhilarating as actually being there, but I always get a frisson of discovery when I read about other people’s SizeCon experiences. Misadventure seems to stalk staff and attendees alike, but when connections are made with fellow kinksters the joyous relief is palpable.

This post will be updated as additional reports become available.

SizeCon 2023 — Proud Of You All

Various-sized people browsing the SizeCon website on a laptop and mobile phone

SizeCon 2023 is happening this weekend, 2-4 June, in-person for the first time since COVID-19 emerged. It’s in Piscataway-Somerset (northeast New Jersey, about 40 miles from New York), the same venue as previous SizeCons. I don’t know if tickets are still available, but I’m confident the hotel rooms reserved for the convention have long been filled. If you can’t attend in person, they’re holding a couple of “hybrid” events where you can socially interact online with attendees. Details here.

I am once again unable to attend for the same financial reasons as before. When the first SizeCon was held in 2016, I didn’t think it was the event for me. When they held it again in 2017 and 2018, I was at the height of my involvement with Size Tumblr, and I had to admit there were a few people I would love to have met in person. I live on the other side of the continent, however, and it just wasn’t practical. SizeCon 2019 didn’t happen due to difficulty securing a venue. SizeCon 2020 was held in February, mere weeks before COVID-19 gripped the world.

I think a lot of us were feeling a little apocalyptic in 2020, and reading the SizeCon after-action reports as the pandemic shut down one element of public life after another induced pangs of real regret that I had missed out on a wonderful opportunity, quite possibly for good. Nothing like a global pandemic and the rise of fascism to remind one of one’s mortality.

Jitensha was the prime mover behind the first SizeCon and she has remained deeply involved in subsequent events. She even moved to Japan last year and is still flying back for this SizeCon. Scores of people have volunteered their time, effort, and skills to make each of the SizeCon events happen, including the online “Micro” SizeCon get-togethers since 2020. I haven’t seen the actual attendance numbers, but it really seems to me that the anticipation for 2023 doesn’t seem to be any less enthusiastic than it was for 2020, and that is a true testament to the spirit of fellowship generated by these people.

By my people.
