Size and Sensibility
Hello again, my friends, and thank you for reading! If you enjoy this newsletter, please feel free to share it on your social networks. It costs nothing, and it’s a nice little reminder each week (or longer) that we’re all in this together, all around the world.
Did you know that? When our cats finally pass away (ptoo-ptoo!) and my wife and I start traveling again, we have standing invites to hang out with Size fans in several nations. I’m excited to take some people up on that, have someone local to each city showing me where the best bars are, where this or that Netflix series was filmed, etc. How cool is that?
Another Art Thief
It’s funny that DeviantArt would recommend a new artist to me, and then it turns out they’re just an image thief. It seems ASVE01 is simply reposting the work of Hubert2004, whose account was deactivated on DA (aka hubertus2004 on X). At least two of the images are in hubert2004’s gritty style. Another user pointed this out, and ASVE deleted his comment; I’ve challenged him on these images, and he’s deleted my comments.
You can see Hubert2004’s images in “M.I.A.” by Tslar. Web search residue turns up that he was pretty good about commenting on other vore stories and artwork. I don’t know his story: he could’ve been booted from Twitter, Tumblr, and DA at the same time, or he could’ve just gotten tired of it all and decided to leave, shut everything down.
With people like ASVE01 claiming credit for others’ work, you can see why even a talented and popular creator would become discouraged and call it quits.
An update to my own dealing with art theft: I’m making progress. Due to medium-sized companies purchasing smaller IPs and a few large companies purchasing the medium-sized companies, I submitted my DMCA notice to the same mega-company three times, hearing back from three different IPs that they own. Long story short: one of the IPs has accepted ownership of the offending website and issued a takedown notice.
Whether an online criminal on a pirated site will take this seriously is anybody’s guess.
AstroDomina Explains It All
Extend your congratulations to AstroDomina on her recent interview with UNILAD! Whatever one might think of UNILAD, it’s still very cool to get that kind of publicity and recognition. AstroDomina, if you don’t know—and you absolutely should—is a dominatrix who specialized in giantess videos. These were mainly POV work in which the viewer gets eaten, stomped on, or crushed with other parts of her body. Her Instagram account suggests that she’s been leaning more into the conventional realm of dominating, but she still has a legacy of Size work that draws people to her.
For UNILAD she unraveled her background and explained her involvement with macrophilia fetish videos. She has explained macrophilia before for Playboy (on PornHub, with Giantess Katelyn) and YouTube, and of course I’ve interviewed her. It was my pleasure to meet her at SizeCon last year.
SAEKO: Accessible!
SAEKO has been translated into English, if you’d like to play at escaping a psychotic giantess girlfriend. And that’s all I have to say about that.
We Could Be (Tiny) Heroes
Nobody should forget about Tim Stotz. I followed him on Twitter, before it turned into a Nazi hive of scum and villainy. He’s a creator, he wanted to try all sorts of things, like an explanation of really big words. One of these was a term common to the Size community: Brobdingnagian (which I’ve practiced so much I can type correctly on the first try). For this, he pieced together a rather good video in which he interacts with a capricious giantess, a video that does a lot of things right, particularly a Studio Ghibli-style close-up. Don’t forget about him.
Size Riot Archive
Lastly, I’ve been working hard at restoring the Size Riot writing contest archive. No matter what you’re into, you’re bound to find a few stories catering to your kink. Seriously: four years, four contests a year on varied topics, all addressed by beloved veteran authors and hot new writers deserving of recognition.
As of this writing, I’ve completed the first contest of the final year, CruelJan20. Reading through these stories feels like The Twilight Zone if it spent a whole season dedicated to Size Fantasy. I’m extremely proud of these writers, I’m honored to have hosted them and I’m excited to share them once again with an appreciative audience. (I had to take all the sites down because they were hosted on Google Drive. I knew Google was scraping “public” content to train its AI; I took defensive action before Google started locking down accounts it didn’t approve of.)
Again, thanks for reading my transmissions and being my friend. Have a great weekend, and trust that there is nothing wrong with you—it’s the world that’s stupid.
In Her Shadow,
Aborigen
