You know, if Trish had tried to keep Thomas in there for weeks, it probably wouldn't have been too long before she could have fit a bed in there for him or something. Sounds practical enough.

This week's Trish moment has to be her trying to come up with a "hair-brained scheme" to keep Thomas inside her forever. It was such a lovingly silly thought on her part, yet that's exactly why it fits her character so well.

Husband on a string (and her geeking out over him calling her wife, for that matter) could also qualify as a "Trish moment." I just really love the playfulness she shows here.

In fact, the playful and humorous nature if the chapter (well, this is present in most of their sexual escapades, but it stood out to me even more here) blended so naturally with that "spice" you mentioned in the end notes. This really gives Trish and Thomas a unique, fun feel as a couple. This chapter just reminded me of why I enjoy seeing these two together so much.

Beyond being the perfect combination of hot and adorable, I do think that this whole scene makes for a nice metaphor for Trish's mentality as a giantess. She's so restrained here, but it's because she wants to be rather than any feeling of obligation to hold back. Yeah, she gets a bit frustrated at how long he stretches things out and tries to sneakily take control a couple of times, but ultimately, she lets him set the pace and tease the shit out of her.

Likewise, Trish is at a point where, as a giantess, she can pretty much do whatever she wants, but she holds herself back because she doesn't want to lord her power over people, at least for the most part. Thomas is an exception to this because he wants exactly that, and people who have wronged her and those she loves are fair game for her to mess with a little bit (although those militia dudes sure got off light, so she doesn't take things too far). But overall, despite embracing her size and seeing herself as a goddess, Trish doesn't want to dominate or even fuck with the average person, so she restrains herself.

And like how giving up a lot of control to Thomas ended up making that sex so much better than if she would have just stuffed him in her pussy, I have a feeling that Trish's more humble approach to goddesshood is going to pay off for her in a big way by the end of this journey upward.

I also thought it was incredibly sweet that Thomas started things off by doing some of the things that Trish has always liked. Now that they both have a size fetishist, it would have been easy to just focus on that, but for him to still use his body to simulate a hand at her throat and undressing her (a favorite if hers as well) was the perfect way for him to show her just how much she means to him. He really has handled things so well since moving onto the ranch, being the perfect boyfriend/fiancé/unofficial therapist the whole time.

While I knew it wouldn't happen, once we saw Trish with her tree bouquet, my first thought was that she would just throw the whole thing over her shoulder after the ceremony. At least that way, the woman it landed on would have been able to duck that 50 percent divorce rate!

But seriously, I really liked the way you detailed all those little traditions that come with a wedding here. I kind of assumed we'd just get the walk down the isle and some vows at most, maybe a little bit of the reception. Instead, you found a way to make all those minor things that those of us at normal size take for granted stand out and be sexy as hell. The garter scene in particular was quite well done. And as a reader, I appreciate that attention to detail!

That interview with Nancy more or less confirmed (at least in my mind) what I was saying about the end of the last chapter. Trish views herself as a goddess, but in a different sense than most giantesses in these stories. For her, this isn't about reveling in her power (although she does do that in her own way as well), demanding to be worshipped, or placing herself (and her wants) above everyone else, which are all things commonly associated with that particular term (at least on this site).

That she used the word responsibility really drives home her view of what that is. Yeah, she both literally and figuratively looks down on humanity in a way, but she feels as though her natural superiority forces her to be more considerate of the shrinking world around her and its inhabitants rather than to just do as she pleases with them. There are some exceptions to that, such as Thomas because he truly wants her to treat him that way and those who wrong her and those she cares about because a goddess doesn't put up with shit from anyone. But overall, because she's a good person, she feels as though the power she has means that she sometimes needs to put what's important to others ahead of what she wants.

And, I say again, in my view, this is how a true goddess would view the world. Trish will have her fun, and she has become incredibly confident now (so much so that people being timid or frightened around her doesn't bother her at all, unlike in the earlier chapters) that she has embraced her size, but she doesn't want to harm, scare, or even inconvenience the common person, those who have never done anything to her. Sure that's just part of who she is, who she has always been, but maybe that just means that she's a natural-born goddess?

Her reaction to Nancy turning her claim of divinity into a joke was just perfect as well. Now that Trish is past those insecurities that led her to people like her ex and to follow the "it's better if they guy is taller" philosophy, it's annoying to her that she feels as though she isn't being taken seriously, even when she's not sure if she should have said the thing in the first place. At the same time, however, Nancy making light of Trish's claim was probably for the best, as anyone who watches that interview would probably take issue with the giantess claiming to be a goddess, so her sucking it up and dealing with it, even if she was short with Nancy for the rest of the interview, could be seen as another example of putting what's best for the public ahead of her own feelings.

Also, it was super cute how excited Trish got when she saw Nancy! I actually called my "Trish moment" for the chapter below, but this one could absolutely qualify as well.

I know it was a minor thing, but Trish not eating all of her food stood out to me. If it really was nerves like she thought, I doubt such a minute thing would have made it into the chapter. Could her body be working toward solving the "Trish is going to eat all the food in the world for lunch" problem that Dr. Vale was so worried about? If so, that would almost certainly lean in the direction of a supernatural cause for her growth, which would make sense since she's clearly a literal goddess. Definitely. Probably. I think.

And what a happy little moment for Valerie and Monica. We've barely seen them in the three chapters in which they've been mentioned, yet you've still managed to make their chemistry jump off the page despite them making themselves comfortable in the background. It was sweet for Trish to not only play a role in Valerie's proposal but also be willing to share her special day with them. This is most definitely the "Trish moment" of the chapter.

Thomas has kind of taken a bit of a backseat to Trish in these later chapters, I think (or at least Trish has stuck out to me more, which is fair given how Thomas-centered the first half of the story was), but his vows were just beautiful and summed up what he went through early on quite well. It was nice to see him acknowledge how much Trish has actually changed him, as opposed to merely being the living embodiment of his deepest fantasies, showing just how much he loves her as a person.

Trish's vows were really sweet as well, and while I get the attendees' reaction to that last line, I thought it was heartfelt. Yeah, it could be foreboding as well, but I still have a feeling that her growth issues are going to work themselves out by the end of this, even if my goddess guess proves incorrect.

You know, it was great to see Jeb have that private moment (even from us) with his daughter. But for a little while now, I've found myself wondering if his feelings on Thomas have changed at all since last we saw them talk. Jeb wasn't too thrilled about the former therapist being so important to Trish but accepted it for the sake of her happiness. Seeing him be so happy at both the proposal and here at the wedding, as well as knowing that he had to play a role in some of those surprises that Thomas lined up for Trish, I would like to think that the cattle baron has warmed up to Thomas a bit by now, but I could see him being stubborn about showing it, if his feelings have even changed at all. I guess this is another one of those little things that, in the grand scheme of things, likely won't matter too much, but I can't help but be curious nonetheless.

Well that certainly put a new perspective on the past series of chapters!

I have to admit, I figured that Grisham was behind the extremists and that he would somehow be documenting Trish and Thomas's cat and mouse game. Hell, I even figured he would find out about and try to exploit Trish playing goddess for her hippie followers (I didn't think he would actually be hiding among them in person, though).

However, I absolutely didn't see him becoming an unwitting worshipper of Trish coming! That was a brilliant little twist. It seems our humble fetish has corrupted this poor corrupted government official.

Reading Grisham's through process throughout the whole process of arresting, prosecuting, and spying on Trish was really eye-opening, and for a lot of reasons. Like I mentioned above, it was quite enjoyable to read his evolving thoughts on Trish, going from viewing her as a monster to seeing who she truly is while still clinging desperately to that initial judgment at the same time.

Then, after causing Thomas so much trouble and judging him for liking giant women, he becomes obsessed with giant Trish, the thought haunting his dreams as he denies how he really feels about even his darkest thoughts of what's coming. It seems that, deep down, he has grown to want Trish to become the monster Dr. Vale believes she is. In an odd way, he has sort of become what Trish thought Thomas was when she first found out about his fetish.

Admittedly, I think it's a bit more complicated than just that, but I think that this is ultimately true, given his dream of her eating Chicago (and him being lucky enough to be spared) and the fact that he didn't use the cat and mouse footage to salvage his reputation, instead keeping it for himself.

But maybe the bigger revelation here is that the bureaucratic machine in Washington wasn't nearly as involved in the plan against Trish as I first thought. Grisham was pretty much acting alone after hearing Vale's story. So while I thought all of these fun recent chapters were building toward some big government assault on Trish's public image (and maybe just her in general), this story seems to be going in a completely different (and continuously refreshing) direction. I really have no idea what's coming now, and I love that!

I loved the way you used the second-person perspective in the first half of this chapter. It was really creative to work it into Grisham's first-person narrative like that, and it gave that part of the chapter a real conversational feel. It was a nice change of pace, and, as I noted above, helped to frame Grisham's whole character in a new light.

In a weird way, it was kind of sad that neither Thomas nor Trish recognized Grisham (although Trish almost did), despite the fact that her interaction with the former government agent made her think about him. It was a nice piece of irony, but it also helped to demonstrate just how far that cocky, hard-nosed FBI agent we met more than 10 chapters ago has fallen.

Trish was really fun to read here, in some ways even moreso than the previous chapter. Whereas her actions were a lot sexier during the cat and mouse game (and her attitude regarding it), that all happened with a single, more-than-willing co-participant. While her playing with Grisham was much more brief and less intense, there's something about seeing her in particular take charge and playfully punish an unwilling person like that.

We caught a glimpse of that when she dealt with the extremists, but that was different both in that those actions seemed more justified (since they were trying to take her life and all) and that she was just realizing that this part of herself existed. Here she embraced it and just did what she wanted, noting that her only reason for not doing so was Thomas. Now, with the "threat of escalation" removed because of her size, she's starting to act more freely.

And I could say a lot about that moral reflection Trish had after she finished with Grisham, particularly the balance between that freedom from consequence and her concern for disappointing Thomas, as well as how all of that meshes with her as a person. That's actually a pretty deep philosophical concept if one were to deep dive into it. For now, though, I think I'll just sit back and enjoy how this new understanding plays out for Trish moving forward. The only thing I feel confident saying about it is that I think Trish may be feeling a little eager for someone to do her wrong again, and it might not even take a grievous offense to put her back in this kind of mood!

“Mhm.” She hummed. “My poor, tiny lover. He needs to be the goddess's conscience but can’t help getting off at her being naughty.” 

Hey look, Trish finally caught up with the story!

But seriously, it was a bit gratifying to see Trish verbalize the internal conflict that Thomas has been dealing with from the start, and in such a light-hearted way, too! Also, given that moral reflection I mentioned above, this realization on her part could lead to some new fun between them. I could see a super-confident Trish "enticing" Thomas to give her the go ahead to mess with someone a little bit. Having a flawed inner conscience can be a lot of fun, especially when said inner conscience is actually her decidedly exterior, comparatively tiny fiancé whose flaw is that, deep down, he kind of wants you to do the bad thing. Again, it's a bit more complicated than that, but this is at least partially true for Thomas, at least to an extent.

Nice mix of pure physical destruction mixed with some playful vore at the end. It's endearing to see that Trish is cognizant of her power as she grows larger and larger, not letting it go completely to her head as she transcends into an outright giant at this point. I find it somewhat heartwarming that she always bears in mind Thomas's safety as they have their fun together, keeping that tiny bit of worried restraint in the back of her mind and not getting too carried away when displaying her raw power.

I'm curious as to whether or not there'll be no more attempts on her life, whether by vigilantes or someone in the government. I suppose if word gets out that she's capable of regenerating limb damage scary fast then your typical vigilante posse would probably steer away from attacking her, but if someone more professional were brought into the picture with some serious military-style hardware (helicopter, fighter jets, tanks, etc.) then that might prove a more worrisome challenge for Trish, at least while she's not so gigantic that their attacks would feel like insect bites once she's large enough. It's possible that they might go after Thomas to keep Trish in line, knowing that he's become an emotional pillar for her to lean on at this point.

Also curious as to what the endgame of this tale is, depending on what Trish's final size ends up being. If she really ends up teetering into the realm of towering over skyscrapers, then she's probably gonna need her own private island or a stretch of land fenced off from the rest of the country where she pretty much has to stay in order to keep the general public from freaking out. I think that's the only way that order could be kept among the broader American public in order to calm their nerves and alleviate their concerns about having a gigantic woman living among them. Otherwise they'd be too worried about being at her mercy and accidentally being crushed, devoured, or wiped out by her, especially if she's literally thousands of feet tall (especially if she ends up being miles tall!).

But perhaps you already have remedies to some of these postulations in mind. In any case, this was a nice and spicy little add-on to the broader story.

Date: May 03 2024 8:11 AM Title: Chapter 18: Hate

The first thing that stuck out to me after finishing this chapter was a particular line of dialogue that I thought was particularly on point and cleverly placed:

"I'll come back for you, I swear. I'm sorry! Uh, you started it!"

First of all, this line made me crack up, given the context of the situation. But more importantly, and I think I used this same phrasing for something in my last review, it was probably the most Trish thing she could have said here. That's particularly meaningful, I think, as we're kind of breaking into some new territory with her as this chapter progresses. Getting a little reminder about who Trish really is, despite the heat of the moment and how much she was getting into the "game" of catching and, uh, incapacitating the assassins, helped make the transition she briefly makes here feel more natural.

I also thing said transition has been subtly set up in the past few chapters, particularly in Here to Please. In that chapter, between dealing with the rude frat boys, making her breakthrough by wishing Thomas was her size instead of wishing herself to be his, her inner thoughts when Thomas was bossing her around in the bedroom, and her thinking that there was no way the shackles could hold her down, it became clear that she was getting quite comfortable being big and even thinking of herself as above the "little" people around her. We saw more of the same last chapter with her handling of the crunchy camp crisis, where she geeked out mentally over how cute they all were and basically used them to get Thomas hard.

Of course, she wasn't consciously enjoying her growing height advantage over the world during any of that, but those feelings were definitely there. It just took chasing down a group of "anonymously" (read Agent Grisham) funded bargain-bin assassins to wake her up to what her subconscious was almost screaming by that point.

And it was an interesting transition to see unfold. After hating the fact that most of the world saw her as a monster for most of the story up until this point (even when she could still fit in the hospital), she's starting to thrive on it, at least when those on the receiving end of that treatment deserve it (I know the term "deserve" is subjective, but I think most people would agree that trying to kill Trish was deserving of a few injuries and some smug taunting).

And now that she has awakened these feelings and acknowledged that she suddenly understands what Thomas sees in all this, it should be pretty intriguing to see where things go from here. Will Thomas be subjected to too much of a good thing? Is he going to embrace this shift in attitude from his future wife? Is she going to even tell him the truth about how she feels now? I really have no idea which way you're going to take this, but I think it should be a fun journey regardless.

As for the action of the chapter (as opposed to just the philosophy behind it), I think you nailed the descriptions of the scene! It was really easy to picture while still keeping with your mostly shorter, quicker-feeling paragraph style. I think that's harder to do when you have more going on in a scene; it's easy to get caught up in longer paragraphs that try to hit every little detail but are less inviting to the reader.

You also did an excellent job of conveying the contrasting moods of Trish and the would-be assassins with each perspective shift. The desperation of the latter blended extraordinarily well with the playful, almost light-hearted at times thought process of the former. It's a formula that works well in giantess stories in general, but I think your narrative style gave this dichotomy a more personal feel, which greatly enhanced those feelings.

Much like Trish's line mentioned above, Thomas telling the initial four captured assassins, "Uh, don't move" while holding a gun naked and his lower half covered in Trish's juices was absolutely hilarious. I love that you inserted a couple bits of humor into this action-intensive chapter.

Lastly, there's that whole thing with Trish's hand re-growing. Putting aside the poor planning of the assassins to use a bomb too weak to kill Trish unless they placed it near a vital organ (I think it was clear by the end of the first few paragraphs that these guys weren't the most competent bunch in the world), seeing her hand get blown clean off only to come back just the same as before brings to the forefront a question that has mostly been hanging out in the background up until now: What exactly is happening to Trish?

The focus of this story has been divided between the mental states of Trish and Thomas and their growing relationship, and rightly so. But because of that, it's easy to forget that this mystery is still very much in play. Now that we know there's more to this than just her growth, there's suddenly more room for speculation.

When I got to that part of the chapter, my first thought was, "Fuck, are those crunchy hippie jerks actually right?" Even though it would be cool if Trish was becoming a literal goddess, on principal I have to root against this, as I can't get behind the hopes and dreams of crunchy people (real or fictional).

In all seriousness, though, that has all of a sudden become the best working theory we have, which is actually kind of funny. I mean, if there was a scientific explanation for this, you would think that something weird would have had to have happened to trigger this in her. And since she hasn't said anything about anything like that up until now (I have to think she would have admitted to something like that well before reaching 50 feet tall, as she would be doing anything she could to try and fix this once she started getting inhumanly tall), I have to think it's something supernatural or otherworldly, and goddesshood fits nicely in that world.

Date: April 19 2024 7:47 AM Title: Chapter 16: Here to Please

Damn, I was so close on the Gulliver thing! I mean, I knew the bondage thing had to come into play at some point, so maybe half a point for me?

You know, I've spent a lot of time talking about how Trish finds happiness in making Thomas happy, but the reverse has been no less true throughout this story. The way he resists her when she's playing her games with Thomas (like the first one during the picnic, for example) let's him still be that strong, confident man that Trish wants, even when she's giving him what he wants. From what we know about Thomas, I think his natural reaction to a living, breathing giantess telling him what to do would be to be submissive, but he has fun with resisting her the same way she has fun dominating him (that is, their enjoyment is in making the other feel good). I just wanted to backtrack for a second and acknowledge that, as this kind of culminates in the back half of this chapter.

Thomas coming up with the bondage device was a brilliant move on his part (although I'm sure that particular conversation with Jeb, who I assume paid for it, was an awkward one), as it not only let's him fulfill Trish's fantasy (and boy did she get off on the fear of not having control for the first time since her growth started) but also allows him to please his fiancé safely on his own. But equally important here was his demeanor from start to finish. The way he took control before she even knew what was happening (more on her reaction to that in a second, or maybe a minute, I don't know how fast you read), claimed her, then teased her in the most agonizing way possible is all exactly what Trish wants. And Thomas was clearly enjoying himself the whole time, even though he didn't cum himself until Trish took care of him after the fact. He was into it because she was into it.

Not to get biblical here, but this relationship kind of reminds me of the concept of "one flesh." With both Trish and Thomas living for each other's happiness, both get to be fulfilled and experience their deepest desires. It's a beautiful concept, really.

As for Trish, it was pretty cool to see her breakthrough in the first half of the chapter manifest itself in the back end. She's finally okay with being big, so now it seems that domme role is becoming more natural for her. I was a little surprised (but smiling) when reading Trish's inner thoughts when Thomas started giving her orders. She still listened to him because of love and curiosity, but I couldn't imagine her thinking "Who does this little man think he is?" even two chapters ago. And that confidence she had that she didn't need a safe word and that if things went too far she could "just stand up" and have Tiny Thomas at her ankles. Her mental transformation has been at least as fun as her physical one so far.

The proposal was really well written, I thought. It blended concepts that are unique to such a situation (Thomas using a ferris wheel to propose and Trish dropping the oversized wine flute were pretty cool ideas) with some classic, tried-and-true tropes for it (the "suspicious" girlfriend and "She said yes!"). This gave the scene a familiar feel but its own vibe at the same time. And it was pretty cool that the whole town celebrated with them (or under them, technically, I guess). Early on, I felt like Trish was going to be kept an isolated secret throughout most of the story, so to see the town accept her (well, except for stupid frat boys, but do they even count?) even know that she's hitting more ridiculous heights is heartwarming in and of itself. The fact that Trish was still nervous to even go into town and was so careful and considerate for all things not Thomas's window just adds to that.

The elastic engagement ring was a pretty slick thought as well.

As I've been a big fan of Melanie throughout this story, I have to mention how sad her brief passage was in this chapter. That she so badly wanted to see how they've been shows that, on some level, she still wants to be their friend, even after what they did to her. I think deep down she understands why things turned out the way they did (she was getting third wheel vibes even before they actually started the affair, so she knows how naturally they're drawn to each other), but, of course, that doesn't make being cheated on hurt any less or her feel less betrayed.

It has to be a complicated feeling for her, but it seems like her own guilt over doubting Thomas at the trial (or maybe convincing herself to doubt Thomas because of these feelings) may have helped to subside some of that sense of betrayal. Or maybe time healed that wound on its own. Who knows?

Well, we would have if Melanie had made that run to the courtyard (of course, it might have been awkward for Thomas to have such a conversation with his ex on the day he plans to propose to the love of his life). But that was the saddest part to me. Melanie knows Trish wouldn't hurt her, but the latter's size (and maybe her own sense of guilt as well) still intimidated her enough to not only keep her from seeing her (maybe) friends but keep her planted in the same place for some time afterward as well. Personally, I don't think Trish and Thomas will hold anything against her for the trial and would probably apologize themselves and just be glad that she still cares about them after betraying her trust.

So I don't know if this was a bit of a "sad sendoff" for Melanie or if it's a sign that we'll get that eventual resolution between the three of them that I'm hoping for (I feel like the latter is true, but I could see it going either way), but I do know that I focused on Melanie in this review far more than I thought I would when I started writing!

Lastly, I just want to point out that I really enjoy the way you've ended a lot of these chapters. You've hit some high notes with some cute, personal-feeling scenes that have really helped humanize Trish and Thomas. This last one is certainly no exception! I love the idea of Trish, after everything that happened throughout the day, just needing Thomas in the middle of the night and him playing that confident role for her once again. The whole scene just fits them so well. I really appreciate a writer finding little ways to flash their characters' personalities like this!

Date: April 12 2024 8:34 AM Title: Chapter 15: Prison

I'm not sure if I've ever seen the idea of a giantess using sign language to communicate without deafening the tinies before, but it was such a brilliant one. Not only does it make logistical sense, but it also shows just how considerate Trish is. Not only that, but between that and her size, this served as a clever way to have Trish still be involved in the chapter during the first half of Thomas's lovely stay in the county jail. Those interactions were as heartwarming as the were funny (that "pulling your socks off" line got me!).

And it was hilarious that the city had to ask Trish to stop coming because she was intimidating everyone. ASL really is a threatening language, what with all those hand movements and whatnot!

Two months in county just for hitting Vale one time? Man, the judge must have been pissed, or maybe the feds leaned on him a bit just as a bit of revenge for Thomas ruining their plans again. That gap in time does do a good job of advancing Trish's height faster (from the reader's perspective, of course), and now we get a 50-foot Trish! Also, the way they were longing for each other with every communication was really sweet, and it also played into Trish's earlier-expressed concern that, at least as far as we know at this point, these two are on a bit of clock due to Trish's expanding size.

Trish practicing and memorizing that routine for Thomas may have been the cutest, most sincerely wholesome piece of smut I've ever read. I love how you continually emphasize that Trish gets no sexual gratification from playing these parts for Thomas but instead from Thomas's reaction to her doing so. She finds it hot that she can get him so worked up, which is a more realistic emotional response than what we typically see in fetish stories.

Not only that, but it's hard not to smile when reading about the legitimate joy (even beyond anything sexual) that she gets just by making him so happy. Thomas was right, once people get to know her, it's impossible not to love her.

Of course, Thomas is always willing to return the favor, even if Trish won't let him because of the danger that comes with him trying to do that. Still, they find a way for him to play an active part in her getting off, which is great. One day, he's going to have to figure out how to tie her down Gulliver-style. Not only would she be into the bondage, but if he could tie her down firmly enough, he might be just be able to have some fun inside her without the risk of being crushed by intense spasming. It's really only a question of how he could pull that off without the help of at least half of the farm (I think Trish would be mortified at the thought of so many people being clued in on her own secret fetish).

As for Trish's "routine" itself it was damned hot. This may not be her thing, but she really gets into the part and takes it seriously. Going along with what I said above about Trish getting into the role without being into it, there were once again minor touches you put into the scene that really made it stand out. For example, Trish comparing sucking on Thomas to sucking on a guy's finger was a pretty relatable way for her to rationalize it, and the way she casually wonders just how much of him she can fit in her mouth comes off as playfully curious rather than something she found particularly sexual in nature.

I've said it even in previous reviews, but Trish's approach to this fetish is so unique and refreshing, and it makes scenes like this enticing for reasons completely alien to pretty much every other story on this site. That creativity is really appreciated!

Date: March 27 2024 1:15 AM Title: Chapter 13: The Prelude to the Trial

Ooh, are we going to get a little giantess courtroom (or block around the courtroom) drama soon? I love a good fictional legal battle, and it might be fun to see what that silly government will get up to next!

This chapter made me think back to the beginning of the previous one, with Thomas and Jeb sitting at the dinner table (and at breakfast time, no less!). It makes sense to me that Jeb can't see what Trish sees in the former psychologist, not because it's hard to see but rather because I'm not sure Jeb has the emotional capacity to understand it. I think he's a good person who loves his daughter, but he seems a hard man that would struggle to comprehend having to rely on someone emotionally.

I bring this up because I feel like we see in this chapter that value in Thomas that Jeb just can't grasp. As I was reading it, I kept thinking back to how Trish was a couple chapters ago, before making up with Thomas. How would that Trish have handled the government's tactics here? Honestly, I don't know if she ever would have even made it to the courthouse. She would have assumed that everyone saw her as a monster and either have been too embarrassed to show up or, if she did actually make it into town, would have been so emotionally spent, malnourished, and uncoordinated that she would have easily made one of those mistakes the government was hoping she'd make.

But Thomas gives Trish the confidence to be herself, and because of that, kind of like what we saw between Melanie and her, other people are starting to see the real Trish as well. Thomas assured her that people will fall in love with her once they see her for who she is, and Nancy proved him right. That whole interaction between the two women was incredibly sweet, and it was touching to see how grateful Trish was to have earned Nancy's trust, let alone the little (er, normal-sized) woman's support.

As far as shady plans go, the government's wasn't a bad one. The odds were in favor of her getting frustrated and looking scarier than she really is by trying to get into the building. Agent Grisham surely knows enough about Trish by now to know that she's not an actual threat, but he clearly expected her to cause at least some property damage, if not express outright frustration in a way that would terrify the media. Good on Trish for not falling into that trap. Also, I thought it was funny that she actually wanted the judge in company to be at least a little afraid of her (but, of course, wasn't willing to do anything to make them feel that way).

One segment in this chapter that I found particularly well written was the short one in which Trish wakes up Thomas in the middle of the night seeking comfort. I love the fact that she didn't say a single word during that conversation; it conveyed a sense of vulnerability that now line of dialogue could match. It also matches her general meekness, which is part of her charm and sets her apart from pretty much every other giant character written about on this site. She's willing to be assertive and domineering and even enjoy being so because of how happy it makes Thomas, but this quiet, reliant (I like how she matched his deep breathing in order to fall asleep) demeanor is her true nature. It's incredibly cute, too!

After saying that, however, I have to admit I'm loving Trish's evergrowing confidence! Despite her nerves and needing Thomas's support to get over them, the confidence with which she handled the media (especially after seeing that Thomas was right about people liking her) was pretty impressive. Between that and her genuine nature (that "Oh, hi!" she gave to Nancy even made me smile), there was no way the government was going to be able to shape the narrative here.

Like I said before, I'm really curious to see what else the government has up their sleeve. They're playing dirty, and I'm wondering if they might drag in a certain ex-girlfriend to make Trish and/or Thomas look bad (I'm not sure how they would make her seem relevant to the case, but I wouldn't put it past them to find a way). The accommodations made for Trish ought to be pretty interesting as well.

I think the biggest thing that stuck out to me in the entire chapter was Trish comparing her game with Thomas with playing with a pet.

Now, at first glance (particularly in stories on this site) that might be looked at as a demeaning thing, like Trish thinks less of him or puts herself above him. And while I do think that Trish's view on humanity as a whole has been changing for a while now, I don't think that's what she means here (at least not entirely).

I think the comparison has more to do with the fact that her enjoyment from playing with Thomas came from knowing how much he loved what she was doing with him and what it made him feel for her. We don't play fetch with our dogs because we just love to throw a ball around; we do it because we love to see how happy it makes them to go fetch it. The same goes for petting a cat; it makes us happy when they purr because we know that means we're doing something that they enjoy.

Trish liked playing with Thomas more than she admitted to him (at least I felt as though her answer to him didn't match the enthusiasm she had for it in the narrative). She probably played it off because she didn't want to give him the wrong idea and make him think she got something sexual out of it, which she didn't. Her fun was based entirely on his pleasure, and once she figured out what he liked, she really got into it, to the point where she wasn't going to stop until he said the safe word (which we know because she wasn't the least bit worried that she had overdone it when he screamed "Jumbo! Jumbo!).

So I think that's what she meant when she compared getting him off to playing with a pet. She had fun because he had fun. If wasn't into it, she would have been bored and probably hated doing it.

Of course, having said all that, Trish's view on humanity has been changing for a while now, so I can't completely discount her starting to view her relationship with Thomas through that lens. She said a while ago that she wasn't really human anymore and even argued when Thomas tried to tell her that she was. She's also commented in the past about how cute everyone is getting as she gets bigger and bigger. What's interesting about this is that it has been viewed as a negative by Trish throughout most of the story (mainly her depression over thinking that everyone thinks she's a monster, even if they like it), but that's starting to change, with this chapter including a big step in that development.

Speaking of said development, I loved the back and forth Trish went through in the first half of this chapter, battling herself over dual feelings of embarrassment and sexiness over her size. The embarrassment has always been there, even with the help of Thomas's confidence building, but we saw her start to feel sexy over her size at the end of the previous chapter, when she compared it to getting her curves in before the other girls. This chapter both built on that and dealt with the head on collision it was bound to have with her natural discomfort over being big very well.

It makes sense that, with a lover who's into it, her wanting to be desired would win out over the awkwardness she feels about the size difference. And the way she went about trying to get more of that feeling, using stuff she read on the forum and slowly building confidence after some direction from Thomas, was as cute as it was erotic, all without her feeling like a different person. I'm really interested to see where this budding confidence in her size goes from here.

Thomas knowing what Trish is into, both when he embarrassed her (I like how she was embarrassed by him knowing about her bondage kink despite her knowing about his much less common and far more embarrassing one) and when he helped her get off. The latter, in particular, was pretty impressive, as he knew just what little things to do to make Trish's fantasy feel more real to her, which I think is why it turned out better than she had expected. Besides, your therapist is going to know about your bondage fetish. I mean, come on.

But I think Thomas's knowledge on how to get Trish going is yet another thing that shows that he loves her as a person and isn't just into her because of his own fetish. He knows her very well, and he uses that knowledge to do everything he can to make her feel as good as possible. Seeing Trish incorporate what he was doing into her fantasy really helped show that he knew what he was doing, too.

Jeb's acceptance of this situation was kind of funny to me, too. I mean, it makes perfect sense, but it's just funny that he had to go from "there's plenty of places to bury a body out here" to giving Thomas a place to stay is pretty funny, especially since he clearly still doesn't very much care for Thomas. He's a good dad, though, and he's just happy to see his daughter happy. We talk a lot about Thomas being the only one that doesn't see Trish as a monster, but I'm pretty sure Jeb still sees her as his little girl. He's just not much for those icky feelings that everyone else has, so it's harder for him to convey that

Looking forward to the next one!
