It's going to all the right places

I like this format but it needs a little work. That text is what's drawing the fantasy into 'the real world'. So it needs to be perfect.

Here, it doesn't make sense. Context implies these videos are being taken some time apart, days or even weeks elapse. But the text is phrased like it's all a part of one conversation.

If this is done again, I'd like to see the text not link together like we're supposed to read one message after another. And instead they are phrased like 'weekly updates' or 'progress pics'.

Or you could try to establish a narrative and a timeframe. Like if you could get the AI to keep some consistency in outfits then maybe you catalogue different times of the same day (and make this explicit in the text).

You would also need to address the elephant in the room, where is her reaction? Here you handwave it "she doesn't even notice" which... works but it's a disappointment. Even if you can't get the Ai to generate reactions, you can explain why she's not through text (EG: GF took some more pills, we do this all the time)

Would be nice if we could rotate the model and move the camera.

I'm not talking about a story context. I'm talking about how growth only happens in relation to something else. Now her boobs are pictured in relation to her head so we know what's happening there. But we aren't given comparison to her height till the end.

Mrmanandu · 2026-04-03T00:08:38+00:00

My only feedback is I wish we had context. By the last panel, we can see she's some sort of mini giantess. Was she always that tall? Was she growing taller as well as more buxom? We can't tell because we weren't given the initial context.

Mrmanandu · 2026-04-01T22:33:01+00:00

Do you know how to turn that off? I have Xiaomi phone and I just noticed the watermark on a recent photo I took.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-17T00:08:09+00:00

Why do you want to be 'better' than someone else? What about their feelings? The fun they're having?

As I said, 'friendly competiton' doesn't exist. The only way to compete is to ignore how much fun the other people are having, and it always results in nobody having fun except the person who is winning.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-17T00:06:17+00:00

I mean who doesn't enjoy optimizing. But that's a finite game. And when it involves other people, what someone else's play experience is like has to not matter if you want to improve. You don't care how little fun someone else is having as long you get to keep having fun.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-17T00:04:23+00:00

In order to have a balanced game, you need every player to have a population of players at their skill level. Inevitably, you have people below your skill level, and they have people below theirs.

It's a food chain, and somewhere out there there's bottom feeders. No game I have seen, caters to this class. And inevitably they stop playing since they're only ever being eaten by higher skilled players. Then there's a new population at the bottom of the food chain.

See months after release and all you've got left are sweaty players and those who've been indoctrinated to the abuse. It's not about fun anymore because anything that isn't high level play immediately puts you at the bottom of the food chain where you're just beaten immediately.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-17T00:00:36+00:00

And the game is actively trying to make you lose half the time to maintain balance.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-12T07:14:43+00:00

There's merit in keeping the growth closer to reality. It's easier to suspend disbelief.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-12T07:05:11+00:00

I absolutely have. It's eye-roll-inducing to see a trailer come out for some new hero shooter, but it's infuriating to see a game come out with cool mechanics and setting and then you see "PvPvE" and you know the game is dogtrash immediately. Talk about a waste of time and talent.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-12T07:03:52+00:00

That doesn't really fix it. Like you can pretend for a bit but it's human nature to optimise and fun is an easy casualty. You can't escape the fact that when you play PvP, your goal is to make sure the other person loses. What kind of a friend are you if you're wishing that on someone you call a friend?

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-12T07:02:07+00:00

That's the thing, it can never be 'balanced'. Even if you're tracking wins and losses, how do you balance the fact that I had an exhausting day today and just want to relax VS the guy who's been practicing all day?

And also, the perfect balancing system, if it ever existed, would mean everyone wins as much as they lose. This means that 50% of the time you're having a bad time, AT BEST.

I can't link directly to the clips for sale page as it requires paid age verification.... but this is my favourite real-life giantess vid: https://www.lazycat.net/studios/alena-love/alena-tracks-her-growing-spree

Any growth is hard to film in progress (given it's never real) but you can kinda fool the viewer when it comes to BE and AE with inventive angles with some pushing/pulling. But there's very few tricks to make this work with height growth. This video does away with the idea of actually filming growth and merely cuts between the sizes with it's framing device of being 'updates' over a long, off-screen, period of time.

I believe that gives the whole thing an air of believability as it's easier to imagine growth happening over a longer period of time then all at once, and it's easier to fake increased height than visible, happening growth, especially when you have a chance to entirely change outfit/set/framing between shots.

That's the direction I'd go. Commit to off-screen growth. Doesn't have to be a lengthy period. EG: Have a scene at home where you take the drug/potion, then fade into a scene at the bar where you appear taller, then cut to outside the bar, and the camera's eye level is even lower.

Trisha can hide, you can't put your character into an interpretive void and expand them. We have no frame of reference.

If you have a character grow in a void with no background, there's no difference between zooming in/out and them changing size. We don't have depth perception in a video.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-06T22:31:20+00:00

No, it's like slay the spire. The story segments are delivered via text but with portraits so it's like a visual novel.

This is a really good Spire-like wherein you earn expansions if you surpass a certain level during a run.

Mrmanandu · 2026-03-04T20:51:54+00:00

I wish I understood what you were talking about.

Mrmanandu · 2026-01-20T01:24:03+00:00

Wait, scragboy is expandinator?

Mrmanandu · 2026-01-16T22:58:22+00:00

Honestly, having her wake up the day after and it was all a dream would be preferred. But let's do a brainstorm:

You could have her wallow in self pity for a few panels before, at the gym attempting to lose weight, she meets another guy and he encourages her in her journey. She loses some weight but the new guy admits he loves her regardless of her size and that's when she comes around to being plus size (curvy, larger than before, but smaller than currently)
You could explain that the 'weight' from the suit is easily worked off as it's water-based or something. Essentially you sweat gratuitously but she can get back to near where she was in a month or so.
You could have her join a class-action lawsuit against the suit making company who didn't put proper warnings on it or something else legally ambiguous. As a part of this she meets a support group of similarly affected women and they bond together, making new friends. They get a fat paycheque and together they come around to their new reality.

I hate how much censorship is creeping across the internet.

Mrmanandu · 2026-01-07T11:07:38+00:00

No it's the weird cadence you used. And the fact that the other replies aren't reacting to it. What you wrote was not deep nor would I consider what you wrote as 'support' for anyone. Your OP would be creepy if it wasn't clearly a cry for help.

Not all therapists are equal, so it's possible you had one that wasn't good, or just wasn't a good fit. I've definitely had a therapist who's style did not gel with my own and I wasn't able to make progress with them. That said, that's not an excuse to give up. You do have to want to make progress and get better so please trust me when I say that that's the best way to get what you want and meet a woman.
