I love Rebecca and Scarlett so much; adding a gentle giantess to the story was such a smart move, and it's bringing so much contrast to Amber it's fantastic

Author's Response:

I think you should start the Scarlett fan club… or maybe you already did! :D :D :D

Seriously though, she’s such a blast to write. I’m thrilled she’s resonating with you so strongly, and best of all, there’s still so much of her left to uncover.

You know, S2 was really, really long, but I love the short, choppy style in which it's written (particularly after the segment break). I actually try to incorporate a very similar style in Roomies, and not only did it make the segment read faster and keep my engaged, but it served the pacing of the action perfectly during the part after the segment break, feeding into the controlled chaos of my girl Celine moving through the inner workings of the Kingdom.

Obviously, there's a lot to talk about here, but I'm going to start with Celine's message to Trevor as he kept bombarding her with questions. I'm a big believer in critical thinking, so when she tells Trevor that the power is in the understanding instead of having the answers, I know exactly what she means. And sadly, as she points out here, that distinction seems to be becoming more and more of a rarity in a partisan, shortcut-driven world.

Man, throughout this story, you've hit on some deep themes that have really resonated with me (Trevor's advice to Annie about empathy comes to mind right away), but this one really cut to the core for me.

But Celine isn't just channeling her author's vast expertise in vague-onomics here; she's answering Trevor's question. He wanted to understand the Kingdom, and all he had to do to acquire that knowledge was look around and think, rather than wait to be fed the truth.

Because why are there parts of the Kingdom's inner framework that giants can't access? Why, throughout their whole little adventure, were there always areas designed for tiny travel, even the giant walkway? Why is it possible for a single tiny to alter the Kingdom's ecosystem so drastically?

Hmm, it's almost as thought it was designed to give tinies that degree of autonomy. Well that doesn't seem to comply with The Sisterhood's worldview, now does it?

And given what Celine said when she finally admitted that "Theo" referred to her mother and that her mom, in fact, created the Kingdom for tinies rather than as a place to keep them, it seems pretty plausible that this is the truth that Trevor was unknowingly seeking the whole time. Not to mention what she said about the Kingdom being stolen from her and how it was now run by tyrants. All he had to do was stop and take a second to understand, to really think about what was all around him, and he could have probably figured this out for himself.

I think Celine had high expectations for Trevor, and, at times at least, she seemed a little disappointed that he didn't figure things out himself. Oddly enough, I feel like that's a huge compliment coming from her.

Because one of my big takeaways here is that Celine respects Trevor, maybe even likes him. I think the fact that he's dating Donnica (and Annie, sort of), helping her with her fucked up mission to destroy tiny lives, confuses and bothers Celine. Trevor is a huge contradiction in that way, and I don't think she can quite figure him out. He's smart enough to know that what Donnica and Annabel and even The Sisterhood preach about tinies is wrong, but he supports the woman he loves anyway. And when it comes to the other tinies he comes across in his life and actually gets to know, like her, he'll do all he can to help them.

I bring this up because we again saw Celine call Trevor out for this, and his answer was so honest. She told him to not pretend to care, that he's up there with the traitors (we'll come back to that word in a second), that him acting like he wants to help her is an insult to freedom. And his response is that he doesn't know why he does the things he does (i.e. helping the giants put the tinies in their supposed place) but that he's always tried to help her.

And I'm pretty sure she believed him when he said that. That's why she told him to set her free. It wasn't a call for him to prove himself; she knew in that moment that he would do it. When she was standing at the open door to the cage, the narrative noted that she looked as though that moment was inevitable. Because it was. Because she knew Trevor would do what he could to help her.

The way he talked down Vikki and especially Ricci as he was about to let Celine go free was amazing too! Again, he was entirely sincere. He knew Celine being caged was wrong, just like he felt that pain when the glittery BFFs shared their story with him. And he used that feeling to make them understand that what their "goddesses" were doing to Celine was fucked up. Seeing how much that realization affected Ricci was a really moving moment, the girl's empathy overriding her devotion to her goddesses. Shit, Vikki had to be the one to push the button after Celine went AWOL, so despite Ricci's worst fears about Celine being outside the cage coming true, she still couldn't try to cage Celine again.

I feel like Trevor changed Ricci in that moment, maybe more than even he realizes.

Backtracking to the "traitors" thing, I found Celine's use of that word particularly interesting. Because I don't think she was referring to the other tinies in the Kingdom or even any other tinies that are willingly helping the giants destroy tiny lives. I'm pretty sure "out there" referred to the outside world and that "traitors" referred to those very giants.

While the rest of the world has broken its view of modern society into giants and tinies, that line implies that Celine doesn't see it that way at all. I was a little surprised by this at first, because Celine is clearly a huge advocate for tiny rights. And not just because she is one, either; she's been annoyed with Trevor helping giants take those rights away this whole time, despite she herself being literal property in the eyes of the law. Much like her mother before her, Celine legitimately cares about the tinies out of love rather than self-interest.

So what does it mean that Celine views giants like Helena as traitors? Was she simply referring to The Sisterhood (who I'm thinking were a part of Helena stealing the Kingdom from Celine, rather than something Helena did before joining the organization)? Was she talking about giants who don't respect tinies, denying said giants' claims that they are superior to their tiny counterparts? Or does Celine view all giants as traitors, like they were all in this together and the system set up by giants (even the nicer ones) has led them into the current world of tiny abuse?

I don't know for sure, but this really got me thinking about it. I'm curious if we'll see more about this sort of thing from her later on.

But yeah, Trevor following Celine around while she caused all kinds of havoc was so entertaining! Like I said before, I loved the way she handled Trevor's initial questions, ignoring them after that beautiful answer and leaving him to figure things out on his own. Perhaps even more interesting was that Trevor, despite his serious concerns about Celine's actions, didn't once try to stop her. Why is that?

Because he promised Celine freedom, and stopping her would have broken that promise.

As much as Trevor wanted to stop her, real freedom isn't about letting people do something but stopping them when you're not comfortable with what they're doing. That's just expanding the cage. He wanted Celine to be free, he wanted her to feel what that freedom tastes like after so long in captivity, so, no matter how he felt about what she was doing, he decided that the consequences be damned, even if he didn't consciously realize that he had accepted this.

Besides, we've seen Trevor play the role of good guy before, having to come to the realization that he doesn't care about his fellow tinies (that he doesn't know personally, anyway) nearly as much as he was pretending to (like back in Annie's workshop).

Trevor didn't want the people of the Kingdom to suffer or die, but if that was the cost of Celine's freedom, he was willing to accept it, at least on a subconscious level.

Or, I suppose it could be argued, on some level, maybe Trevor knew that Celine wouldn't hurt the subjects of the Kingdom. I was definitely picking up the other vibe a lot more than this one, but this could certainly be possible.

And Celine's behavior while she was doing all these things was awesome! Hell, the way she carried herself from the moment her cage was lowered was so much fun! From her snide, sarcastic comments (that "mystery" line she said over her shoulder really got me!) to the moments where she dropped the act and got serious (like when Trevor dropped the name "Theo") to her ignoring Trevor as they traversed the dark corners of the Kingdom and held her conversation with him instead of his to the absolute joy she was radiating when she successfully made snow, I'm enamored with the complexity of this character! It's tough to say she's my favorite character in the story (because there's so much competition!), but she just might be.

And yeah, let's talk about the snow. That was an awesome reveal! I didn't figure out what she was doing until Trevor thought it was water approaching them in the giant hallway. And I know Celine said she decided to do it because she knew how, but that's bullshit. She did it for Trevor. When he didn't agree with her that making it snow in the Kingdom was stupid, when he said that it would be fun, I think that was the moment she decided that she would try to do it. Because she absolutely had fun, both during the process and especially once the snow started falling! And that "Merry Christmas, Trevor" was a beautiful callback to him asking if it would be so bad a thing to have snow in the Kingdom for Christmas.

She knew the work she was doing at her terminal was pointless. She straight-up told Trevor that. I think between Trevor being understanding of why the other tinies might want snow on Christmas and him unknowingly bringing up her mother's name, Celine decided to stop pretending for the sake of Vikki, Ricci, and the giants above and actually make it happen.

Back to what she said about why the terminal work was pointless, I love the analogy there. They failed to make it snow because they viewed it as a surface-level thing, something they could just massage into the Seed Code to make it do what they wanted it to. But the solution was so much deeper than that ... literally. It involved a deeper knowledge of the Kingdom, something The Sisterhood doesn't understand at all. Just like with the purpose of the Kingdom as a whole. It's clear that Theodora built that place with a purpose. There's a certain degree of synergy between giants and tinies in the way its set up, even with the heavy lifting apparently being left in the tiny hands that live there. However, The Sisterhood wants to use it as a place to keep their subjects, to rule from.

And much like the snow, this lack of understanding, their effort to try to make the Kingdom do what they want it to instead of working with it and taking a minute to recognize its purpose, will be the reason they fail with whatever their long-term plans are for the Kingdom.

Celine's sadness when she came down from that snow-covered high and really thought about Trevor's concerns really struck me, too. She was hurt that he thought she was capable of doing the Kingdom harm, that he thought she'd destroy her mother's legacy (even if he didn't know that's what it was at the time). That cut deep as I read it.

On the flip side, any modicum of doubt that I had about whether Celine cared about what Trevor things evaporated in that moment. Clearly she holds him in much higher regard than she lets on, which is really sweet in principle and kind of cute in application!  I mean, even just that moment where she geeked out and explained things that I'm sure she was fully aware Trevor couldn't understand about how she made the snow is an adorable example of this. I loved Trevor being caught up in this and enjoying the moment, especially since I feel like a lot of people just would have felt stupid in that spot.

Going back once again, I wanted to touch on Ricci and Vikki sticking up for Trevor when Celine brought up his lack of qualifications for being in the terminal room. It was really sweet to see them come to his defense, even though both of them knew full well that Celine was right. Everyone in that room knew that Celine could run circles around Trevor when it came to that stuff, yet the girls felt the need to defend Trevor's ego (which wasn't fragile in the least here; like I said, everyone in the room knew Celine was right). It was a really sweet moment, and I even wonder if seeing the BFFs standing up for him so vigorously also affected how Celine viewed Trevor in the scene. Because that degree of loyalty doesn't come easily, so his words have to have weight if they can earn it from those two.

Oh, and I was so happy to see that Trevor knew that his talk with Annie didn't resolve the Rebecca issue. I don't remember if I mentioned it in my previous review or not, but I did wonder about this. He know Annabel so well, so I figured/hoped he could figure out that Annie was still going planning something. I'm sure his own issues (like getting caught at the end of the segment, for example!) will get in the way of him helping resolve that, but I love that he's fully aware of who Annie is and how that wonderfully unhinged mind works!

Lastly, I really enjoyed the end of this segment! We didn't have a lot of size-y stuff going on, but having this new "goddess" show up was the perfect "cliffhanger" (for those of us taking this chapter by segment, anyway!) to end it on. I've talked about the way you write giant footsteps a lot, but damn did you nail that here. Comparing these booming steps to the ones softened (though still earthshaking) in the Kingdom was a great choice! Fuck did that make this mystery girl feel absolutely huge!

I wonder if that girl knows that Trevor has tiny diplomatic immunity? That could be trouble!

I guess I'll find out in the next segment!

Last segment of this incredible chapter, this time without Celine. We’re with Trevor, who is waiting for Kassandra in her office.

The introduction of this segment is perfect with all of Trevor’s thoughts: the rage from the humiliation, the fear, and most choking of all the questions about Celine. How did Severina and Felicity make her act like she was nothing more than a slave? How did they extinguish Celine’s fire so easily? So many things are rushing through his brain while he waits for Kassandra.

Something I also loved is the whole setup of the meeting. It feels like a child who has made a huge mistake and now must wait for the school principal. It’s really well done  from the cold Lorelei acting like an overzealous school supervisor, to Kassandra as the king principal who knows exactly how to handle turbulent children, and the secretary who just does her job without giving a damn about what’s happening around her.

After a little more waiting, it’s time for the talk between Kassandra and Trevor, and this duo is perfect. Kassandra is such a fantastic character.

The beginning of the dialogue, with Kassandra mocking Trevor, is amazing, but what’s most interesting is how she behaves toward him. She knows exactly what to do with him; it feels like she’s known him for ages. Then the real conversation starts, and it’s perfect. I really loved how Kassandra teaches Trevor about the danger of Celine’s actions while simultaneously comforting him when he feels guilty about what he could have done. I love how Kassandra masters everything, it’s like she is the true master of this entire game. She knows exactly how to act what to say; every action is calculated. She’s a brilliant politician. For example, the fact that she asks questions about Celine by using her actual name and not “the outcast”, she knows it will make Trevor react.

For me, one of the best parts is when she points out Trevor’s hypocrisy. It’s great because Celine tried to do it earlier, but it didn’t land as powerfully as it does with Kassandra. The way she makes him understand is perfect, and she’s right: he has no issue with Donnica and Annabel owning and killing multiple tiny , ruining countless lives, but the moment it’s someone important to him, suddenly it’s different. Though I feel like Kassandra says this more for effect, for her role, without being completely convinced herself. And then comes the most interesting part of their discussion: the explanation about the “imprint.” I have so many questions and theories! The biggest one is why Helena can’t imprint Celine. We’ve already seen that even people with strong wills can resist be could be imprinted, just like Celine and Rebecca were. It could be hate, but Rebecca hated Amber at first and was still caught in the process since the told Trevor about it. Maybe it’s because of their past connection, or maybe you can’t imprint your true love? So many fascinating questions.

Something else that’s interesting is that Kassandra reacts when Trevor mentions Helena and Celine even her can’t keep her mask on completely. That means there’s a lot of hidden history between those two. I really hope we get some answers soon, or my brain will explode from all the theories.

Finally, it’s time for the last part of the segment the most wholesome one: going to see Vikki and Ricci to comfort them after everything that happened. This moment is perfect. It’s so interesting to see all the consequences of Trevor’s decision to free Celine and the impact it has on the people around him.

My favorite moment is when Ricci is more scared for Trevor than for herself it’s really touching and funny to see how much they love Trevor and how much he loves them while they almost don’t know each other. The fact that, no matter the consequences, he still wants to free Celine is great it shows he cared a lot about her or maybe there is different feeling? The moment at the end when both Ricci and Trevor cry together is pristine.

In conclusion, an incredible chapter that brings everything we could ask for: action, character development, a million new questions lol, amazing new characters, and some teasing for what’s to come. To speak more about this segment I love Kassandra more and more. I have the feeling she is way more than she pretends to be. She has that pleasant-yet-dangerous politician vibe; every word and action is calculated. I can’t wait to know more about her past. I feel like she has her own plan a plan that will change the future of the kingdom forever. The little glimpses of information about everything, especially the imprint concept, are fantastic. This concept is so good and opens so many possibilities. Also, the fact that everyone in the kingdom is imprinted gives the place an even stronger cult vibe. A moment I really want to highlight is when Kassandra makes Trevor realize he’s a hypocrite. I loved that he tries to defend himself but then realizes she’s right: he blames Helena and the women around her, yet the two women he loves do even worse. And the ending with Ricci is so wholesome, the perfect way to close this heavy chapter. I can’t wait for the next one. I have the feeling everything is about to change in the kingdom, for better or worse. Only time will tell.

Second segment of this fantastic chapter, the longest of the story so far.

This time we’re with Trevor back in the control room, forced to work on the seed code and try to understand it, but at least he will not be alone: he is working with the glitter duo Vikki and Ricci, and I have to say I’m so happy to see them back, they always bring so much fun in the segments they are part of.

Before meeting them and starting to work, I want to talk about the setup: Trevor joining the kingdom without ceremony, no good moment with Kassandra, no beautiful part of the kingdom. I love the fact it’s parallel with all the Donnica situation. It’s funny to see Trevor ending up being the collateral victim of something he doesn’t even know that much about. Something quite interesting is the trust Helena gives to Lorelei by putting her in charge of Trevor, because even if she don’t like Trevor, it’s a really important part of her plan with Donnica. If something ever happened to him, everything she has done to get Donnica in her circle would be in vain, and worse, she could really become a danger for her. After all, Donnica is known to be explosive, and if something happened to her Trevor she would not think for a second, she would turn everything to ash.

I also loved the fact you described the mental struggle of Trevor. After all, he is the first victim of the status-C mistake and we almost don’t know anything about his feelings about that. It’s enjoyable to see this side of him behind all the jokes, because we see him sometimes be afraid with the giantesses, but this time it’s more personal. I really loved that we see more of that mental struggle of your character based on more real situations. For example, this time with Trevor it’s loneliness, something we all face in our life at some point, also the fact you point out that even when there are people who care about you around, you can still feel that pain inside.

Something great is also the big mission of Vikki, Ricci and now Trevor: make snow for the kingdom. It’s so great, first when you compare with the struggle of tiny people outside who live day by day just to survive, everything being a fight, and there is the kingdom where the biggest problem is to make snow, it’s really funny. For the giantess side it’s good too, since you have Helena who tortures, crushes, eats tinies, but she still cares about the ones in the kingdom or did she? It’s so cynical, I loved it, and it can be a good parallel with our world, with rich people having little problems and make it look like it’s something really big while poor people struggle to survive each day. It really gave me that vibe reading it.

Now it’s time to dive more into the seed code, and that moment is fantastic because since the beginning we have biblical references, allusions to godly power with almost all the giantesses, but it’s all fake, the closest thing to god is this seed code, something so complex almost no one can understand it. The true god of this world is this program, the seed code, something so powerful it can make a little world work almost alone. It’s incredible, and as someone who likes this stuff it’s fascinating, can’t wait to know even more about all of that.

We also have some insight about the situations with Amber, Rebecca and the phone call to Annabel, and I have to say it’s perfect, especially the fact Amber goes straight to him when she knows, it really looks like Amber sees Trevor more and more as a paternal figure, and for Amber who had such a traumatic time with paternal figures it’s so good to read that. It’s the perfect development from the frustration Trevor inspired in Amber at first to becoming someone she can call and rely on when she needs it. I really loved what you did with her, at first she was a one-dimensional character and now she is so interesting with all her struggles and contradictions. The fact Trevor accepts this role for the well-being of Amber is marvelous, because after all she put him through he could have given up on her, but no, he does everything to help her.

It’s something great to see him being so small but people rely so much on him, it’s something I loved so much in DAW and it becomes better after every chapter.

But Trevor for now can’t really do much, especially when something or someone is coming: Celine. I have to say the setup is perfect with all the description of the noise, the change in the place, the descent of the cage and Celine herself—$, it’s perfect, it really looks like the moment in movies when they bring some kind of beast , the unstoppable monster, but it’s not the case, it’s just Celine, the small and beautiful Celine, coming to help with all this snow stuff.

With Celine coming, all the dynamic changes, especially for Trevor, no more time to let his mind get lost in his thoughts, he needs to be fully focused. And damn, Celine is such a perfect character, all her lines are so well done, we can visualize and almost hear her.

The fact she is a prisoner, but she is so confident in herself it feels like she is the only one free in this place while the others are the one trapped in a cage .

I have to say my favorite moment so far is when she told Trevor it’s way too difficult for him to understand the seed code and  Vikki and Ricci directly come to defend him.

It’s so cute, I can visualize the scene, it’s absolutely brillant

Even with the complaints of Celine, the project continues, the contrast between all the characters is great, almost like a school project, something I really enjoy is Trevor being caught in the middle of this situation with Celine, Vikki and Ricci, having to play his game perfectly. Sadly for the glitter duo, Celine is way smarter and she brings them exactly where she wanted them, and after little effort she was ready to tell some secrets about this place to Trevor to make him understand a bit more, and damn, the fact I was waiting for something big and the first information she gives is that one really makes me laugh a lot:“Let’s start with the fact that you’re eating their shit.” Trevor blinked. “I’m what now?” “Their shit!” Celine said again, with bright enthusiasm. “What do you think fertilizes the crops here? It’s not divine light and kisses. It’s excrement. When Helena sits her giant royal ass on a toilet, it becomes your lunch. Isn’t this place just magical?”

Also her little plays with Vikki and Ricci are priceless, she knows exactly how to piss them off, it’s so funny.

After that part we really learn more about how the kingdom works, and it’s really amazing, the fact we still have all the mystery about the core, so much more to discover.

But Trevor finds a crack in the cynical armor of Celine when he gives her something he found during his research on the seed code a name: Theo.

Just like that all the protection Celine built around her falls, it’s just her, raw, without armor, not playing a role, just the pain remembered by this name. It’s so powerful, even if it’s sad to see her like that, it’s great to see her more natural without all the act.

 She really makes me think of Rebecca in the beginning of the story with Amber, always cynical, looking to piss her off on every occasion, even if for Celine it looks even worse, and it probably is, since she knew Helena before, there is probably really deep wounds between the two of them.

Trevor’s reaction is wholesome; I loved the fact he understands everything and goes to comfort her. I loved that part of Trevor being able to understand and help people who need it, like Kassandra told him.  

Finally, Celine asks him to free her from her cage. And it’s probably one of my favorite moments of this segment: the psychological war between all the characters, the moral questions, the consequences, every thought is perfect.

 I enjoy the moment when he talks about the past of Vikki and Ricci, it’s good because when they were locked in the logic farm it was awful, but they are okay with all that happened in the estate. I always loved this kind of situation, the moral dilemma between doing the “right” thing or following the orders of the people who saved you. This kind of dilemma is interesting because we can also ask ourselves what would I do in this exact situation.

After some time Trevor was able to free Celine with the “approval” of Vikki and Ricci, and the fun starts with Celine out of her cage.

It’s so funny to see Trevor try to calm down Vikki and Ricci and also himself, telling them it’s going to be all good, Celine will behave, just to see her directly go into the forbidden area. It made me laugh so much.

Trevor was so naïve on this, he should know Celine a bit better, there is no way she would just stay still.

But even if this part is absolutely fantastic I feel a bit bad for Vikki and Ricci, they feel so bad after that, poor little duo.

Then the second part of this chapter starts with Trevor following Celine, trying to make sure she doesn’t do something bad for both.

This moment is perfect, it almost looks like when the good child follows the bad one and he ends up in a moral dilemma, during all the rest of this segment it’s like that, Trevor trying to stop Celine but also wanting to know more and probably wanting to see what she plans to do.

This part is fantastic, especially Celine’s actions and comments, it almost looks like she knows everything happened in the worlds while she is locked in her cage most of the time, and her duo with Trevor is perfect. It’s funny to see Trevor in this situation since it’s often the opposite, he is the relaxed one when the others around are stressed, but this time it’s the exact opposite.

Before we continue the exploration I want to say the work on this part is absolutely incredible, we can follow their journey with ease, everything is so well detailed. Also the: “I’m not going to tell you, Trevor... I’m going to show you.” is fantastic, it really looks like the diary moment in Harry Potter 2.

Teasing is also good, we can feel the connection between Celine and this place, it’s interesting. I love the fact you let some hints around during all the segment but still wait to give us the answer—it’s almost like we’re Trevor during all this segment, we can put ourselves in his shoes, especially when it comes to moral questions. But Celine (just like you lol) doesn’t give answers easily—if he wants them he will have to follow her till the end of her journey.

Something great is also the monologue of Celine, it’s interesting, I really loved the fact she is completely all over the place to the point she loses Trevor and us too.

The way you built it, even if we are with Trevor it looks like we’re just following the world of Celine, we’re just the followers who try to understand everything she does and says.

The fact she also asks rhetorical questions to Trevor during the whole chapter is lovely, it really feels like she plays with Trevor during all the segment just to make everything more dramatic , it looks like she just wants to play and also cause some trouble.

The professor vibe while asking her questions to Trevor is also fun, she knows he will answer wrong but she continues to ask him, it really feels like she is the master of puppets during all this segment and I loved it.

But I think the most interesting part is the talk about the kingdom and who rules it, it’s really interesting and another time an awesome philosophical question. The parallel between the perfection of the kingdom and the awful people who control it is perfect, and it’s a question we could ask ourselves: is an artificial paradise based only on lies great? It really makes me think about movies like Equilibrium or other dystopian creations.

It’s really interesting to see all the views about that, because a golden prison is still a prison. The exploration part are pristine, I also loved the paradox with what we saw before of the kingdom, the green spaces, the food, the trees and the reality we saw during this segment, all the mechanical parts. It’s interesting because at first the kingdom appeared almost like something magical, but the truth is it’s not magical, it’s pure genius, engineering at its absolute best, and behind all of that there is one name: “Theo”.

After some time, when Celine was done activating stuff, she stops and tells the truth to Trevor about Théo, it’s for Theodora, Celine’s mom, the one who created this place, someone even smarter than her. She tells us about her sisters being captured, and the fact Helena and the ones above her, the sorority, took everything from her, her family, the kingdom who was imagined to be a paradise for the tinies, not just a place to satisfy the ego-trip of some women who pretend to be goddesses.

After she was done, we realize what all of that was about: she made snow fall on the kingdom. She realized what the so-called goddesses wanted but in her own way. I loved the angelic vision of Celine when Trevor sees her while opening his eyes, I loved it, and it’s so ironic that the tiny one who is considered an outcast is the one closest to what we can call a goddess, she changes the weather, she makes the impossible come true.

Her explanation for why she did it is also fun, she just wanted to show she can do it but with her own way .

The moment when she loses it and starts to cry is perfect, we can feel she is freeing herself from the pressure, the explanations is incredible I loved the fact Trevor try to understand at first but give up after realizing it’s too difficult he give up, it shows how smart she is, the range of her knowledge is infinite.

When she says she would never hurt the kingdom it’s also perfect, we can feel how difficult it is for her seeing the legacy of her mom, the paradise she created, being stolen, but still she can’t hurt it, it’s the only thing left of her mom.

But the talk is over when the giantesses come, taking both Trevor and Celine into their huge hands. Celine, even in that dire situation, still has a joke for them.

In conclusion, a long segment but so fucking good. The work on the characters is perfect, especially on Celine, knowing a bit more about her story and discovering who she is behind the armor she wears to protect herself from all the pain the giantesses inflicted on her and her family. All the philosophical, moral and societal questions present in this segment are amazing, we can really think about it and also see the parallels with our own world sometimes. The dystopian vibe around the kingdom is perfect, the fact it was introduced as a paradise but more and more we learn about it we realize it was supposed to be that in the mind of Theodora, but sadly Helena and all the people around her destroyed it and turned it into a cult to improve their ego. The fun part about that: the only one close to a goddess in this segment, and even in general, is Celine, she can make the impossible possible just like she did with the snow. The fact Trevor is more a follower than an actor is fantastic, it feels like we are him while reading it, we feel his struggle and many times I was thinking what I would do in the exact same situation. Trevor not being in control is also a great idea, it’s funny to see him struggle for once and not be the one who fixes everything for the other tinies, it’s enjoyable. But now I have so much more questions, congrats, what a fantastic segment, the second read made it even more enjoyable. For the final words: FREE CELINE AND VIVA LA (TINY) REVOLUCIÓN!

I truly did not expect Anna to go so...juvenile with her torture of the two annoyances at first but I guess a little brevity is always welcome when dealing with less than desirable tinies. It does seem Sasha got made it out better than most tinies who come across Anna at least until a predator comes along and eats her or she dies of starvation or something.

Juliette going toe to toe with Anna is a battle I've been lowkey waiting for given their standings to the respective big bads of this tale, I did not expect Naomi to be the catalyst for it but nothing sets off a mama or in this case pseudo mama bear like messing with her cub.

Naomi meeting pieces of the Kingdom gives me wonder if Helena will someday learn of her breaking skills as either a future member of the Kingdom or even The Sisterhood once she came of age. I am glad she seems to be slowly coming to love herself and have some self worth even if she occasionally murders a few tinies along the way.

One does wonder if this bit of frustration/rage makes it back to Domica...the tether is strong now but seemingly always ripe for a snap if the right pressure is added to it. One of Helena's top dogs threatening not only her Anna but her Anna's charge whom has been through so much already certainly seems like a thing she'd be most upset over.

Trevor AND Amber giving her the business seems reasonable but somewhat reckless on Amber's part if she was trying to not peak Anna's interest in Becca. I know she'd never sell Amber out but one wonders how Anna would feel if she truly knew how they'd come to know each other...Amber treating her like utter toejam at first before becoming lovers...surely the thought of such a thing occurring from a place of sheer dominance would certainly stick in Anna's craw even more.

We also avoided Amber crossing paths with Naomi thus far but that feels like another powder keg that could go off if the situation arose.

Trevor might not go for it but something tells me with the new knowledge Anna has about his relationship with Becca that she might just attempt to pair them up. Get the idea into Domica's head and in such a way Amber couldn't stop it without giving up her own secrets etc...at least not early on.

And we still have Juliette and company waiting to barge into Domica's office for their meeting...

I honestly thought Theo would be her Husband that died or a brother but never her actual Mother but it all makes sense now, Helena used her clout/money to royally fuck over Theodora and maybe Celine at the same time. The Sisterhood using their hidden might to heavy handedly take over something as wondrous as The Kingdom makes all the sense in the world knowing Helena and her crew as we now do.

I truly feel for Celine given this knowledge of losing a sister(whom I still think might be Helena unless we've accidentally debunked that prior) or another giant person whom fell under the influence of The Sisterhood.

The ending of this section notwithstanding it was beautiful to see Celine so happy at the end of it, like a proud mother earth giving birth to a wintery wonderland for the other people kept within under Helena's rule. Like a turkey dinner for the homeless or a prisoners parole day, giving hope to what is seemingly hopeless even if they don't know it.

I truly hope The Glitter Twins don't suffer too much for this as they really tried to do right by their oppressors and as much as Helena might suck for some and that she's using them for her own means I am glad she rescued them from the likes of Anna(even if it was a breaker of another ilk) and gave them a purpose/happiness.

Sparkly Fury is incredible. 

Whatever happens next I'm really glad we learned what we learned, ever since we met Helena and Celine I had a feeling there was more to their relationship than met the eye and here we seem to have most of it laid bare before us. I just wonder if it was a corporate/secret cult coup or if Celine watched her Mother meet her end beneath the foot of her captress.

I await finding out as I read further on.

Serverina is a little on the nose don't you think?

Now that she mentioned it I wonder IF Celine's sister is held under Anna's care without any of them actually knowing it, like Helena gave her to Anna to break but use as a tool to keep her in line after the hostile takeover.

It does seem they would be lost without her and the Seed Code if she was ever let truly free which seems one of the main reasons they keep her so locked up. She would never destroy her mothers work but would -definitely- wreck havoc on Helena's inner workings if she ever got her tiny hands on it.

I wonder if Trevor will speak of his punishment at the hands of Yin and Yang? It does seem like something Domica would not take too kindly to if word got out. Which now seems like something he can hold over them when and if the mood strikes him.

Celine much like Becca is sadly encoded with the implant button which greatly diminishes their fights against the larger folks they encounter. Now at least Becca landed somewhere nice for the most part and doesn't seem to have any family in peril and a great deal more freedom than poor Celine.

I do think Felicity could oddly become an ally to them later on though just through the short time we've met her and her actions. Severina definitely seems firm in her Helena love but Felicity sparks something deeper in herself that tells me if somebody needs help from The Sisterhood later own she would give up her standing to aid them...which kind of plays into what I think might happen once they realize Helena has Trevor or as a future tactic to make sure Domica plays ball.

I'm sure peeing on Celine will improve her mood but all this forcing her to worship her feet or peeing on her definitely leads to revenge if Severina finds herself brought down in the mythical Final Wave we've seen foretold.

I can't say Celine will ever get free but I have a really good feeling at some point not only will she get free but possibly could end up with somebody who really cares for her or could learn to like Scarlett. Becca isn't hers but both Celine and Scarlett could use unconditional/unburdened/nothing hanging overhead love.

Actually come to think of it Felicity free of Helena/The Sisterhoods influence seems perfect like there is already something bubbling under the surface between them but she can't act due to the dark shadowy organization hovering overhead.

I'll give Trevor behaving at least a few weeks before he does something to earn Helena's ire once more.

As always the foot worship in this section was tremendous even if the person receiving it didn't truly deserve Celine's adoration.

I wholeheartedly expect Servenia much like Juliette to come into strife with Anna at least once though the scary people quota seems unfairly skewed towards Helena's side now.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they send them all down there to make snow in the FIRST PLACE!

Helena wanted some grand show for the residents and tasked Trevor, Celine and The Glitter Gals to somehow make it happen, maybe she did not want it on such a grand uncontrolled scale but she kind of got what she asked for.

Trevor imprinting secretly makes a lot of sense given how easily he overlooks a lot of Anna and Domica's transgressions despite how brutal they may be. Hell he even seems ok now with Amber destroying his old home and basically commandeering his friend into her tiny kept paramore.

He truly seems like while he keeps his snarky, charming attitude that he lets the big gals literally at times get away with murder.

I'm glad The Glitter Twins are alright and feeling better.

I don't know where it all ends but I do truly believe for their blind devotion to Helena that among her minions they some of the most worthy of love and redemption. I could see a Kingdom where The Sisterhood falls and people like Trevor, The Glitter Girls, Kassandra and even Becca live a peaceful existence with Celine running things on the technical side.

If not possible at least let somebody rescue them from Helena's grasp and them a happy life where they can code and bedazzle to their tiny hearts content.

I am also throwing my hat into the ring on Celine's sister being Kassandra...because to Celine being blindly loyal to horrible women like Helena herself would definitely constitute a bad place for her. Like even if she could escape she truly couldn't because Helena as much as she loved her would still have Kassandra under her heel.

One last thing on imprinting, if Trevor didn't know it then that means there is a chance Becca has unknowingly imprinted on Amber at some point in time. The way she seems to lose her fire for certain things when Amber rules over her it makes me wonder.

----

I truly enjoy this read even if the length at times is a herculean task, it's worth the incredible journey.

Congrats on the one year anniversary.

As for Anna torturing the tinies it was on par for her personality, torturing and killing tinies is just another weekday for her.

It's likely headed to a kaiju showdown with a lot of bloodshed and possibly missing teeth. Also like Naomi having to beat up a few underlings to even the odds back to one versus one.

OF COURSE WE WERE GOING TO SEE AMBER!

There was no way in hell messing with HER BECCA was going to go unchecked, maybe it was a fullhardy plan to tip off Anna in such a way but thinking things through isn't really Amber's strongest suit.

Anna will never be able to get rid of Becca because if she tried to remove the -problem- she'd likely get her face stomped in by four pounding feet of teenage foot funk in Amber and Scarlett. Anna is terrifying in her own right but Amber in full rage mode and a motivated Scarlett would be something else entirely.

Much like Anna, Helena being an underhanded tyrant makes perfect sense.

Her taking somebody else's hard work for her own gain is right up her alley, even better if she can screw over what we've seen mentioned is her greatest rival in Celine.

I fully expected Celine to be hellbent on making snow the entire time otherwise she would've likely caused even more chaos to buy her time to escape. The fact she didn't even -try- to cut wires or plant a virus tells us she truly cares for what her mother built.

Speaking of which I think the realization hit just fine, it explained exactly -why- Celine hates her so very much. The only question I have left is -how- she took which would explain the level of hate...was it a coup of a normal sized woman foolish or desperate enough to make a deal with a woman like Helena.

Or did her mother meet her end beneath the towering tootsies of the almighty bitch possibly with Celine and/or her sister forced to watch a lesson learner.

In another world The Yin/Yang of Serverina and Felicity along with Celine would be a beautiful harmonic relationship. But unfortunately for Celine the circumstances didn't conspire in her favor on that one. It didn't surprise me at all she had imprinted in such a way as even if Becca isn't the same level of danger/hatred etc with Amber the way she instantly breaks down whenever near her feet or ass or even Scarlett's tells me the physical imprinting happens to some extent no matter how you feel about your captors.

It's the truly -deeper- imprints that take the hardest of efforts.

Kassandra accepts things more than maybe any other it seems, she gets her place in the universe now and why not making waves is smart for somebody who can stuffed in a sneaker for the smallest of offenses.

Trevor for all his faults likely realizes it too -but- still has that wild hair up his ass to try and make changes and fight for tinies rights and what have you. But in the end always ends up in Domica's ass or under her foot as as much as she loves him her word will always be the final one. Absolute and firm hanging over him like a 500ft albatross no amount of wit and determination can ignore.

She did the right thing honestly as Celine deserved the right to escape and maybe under better circumstances they could've used this to -actually- make a play to free her. Perhaps having Amber or Scarlett(Domica might be too risky a pick, same with Anna) waiting outside or somewhere near by to rescue them both and even The Glitter Twins and may Kassandra if she wanted to go.

They shot their shot too early if rescuing her was his ultimate endgame.

I loved the final chapter.

The Glitter Twins deserve to be happy and loved, its not their fault they got stuck with somebody like Helena and The Sisterhood. Their just making the best of a bad situation and trying to keep each other and the people they love safe.

I'm glad to see Ricci got her happy ending in this chapter, it's not often tinies get such a thing in this fetish. They have to get them where they can and I couldn't think of any more deserving than those two...well outside Celine and Becca to an extent since Amber taking her has lead to a blessing in disguise in most ways.

Happy to read along with you and hope your Thanksgiving if you're in a place celebrating it is great.

Well that was an exceptionally hot, interesting and informative chapter. We delved deeper into just what imprinting is, and just like what Rebecca Surmised, Trevor is indeed imprinted. Now the question is, do all tinies imprint in one form or another. Cause if they do, than can I just say killing them for your pleasure or indifference or throwing them out like trash (By the way, that scene was hot, and yet I felt for both girls, kind hope some one, maybe a janitor would find poor Sasha while emptying the trash and then take her and keep her and love her.)  is just a waste. I love dominating tiny's, and I know its a staple of the genre, but damn, have a heart lady. 

     Though is it just me, but man wild shrinkies (heh) are not very up on keeping themselves safe. If I was that small, and I was very dependent on the laws keeping me safe, you dam right I am keeping up on what law applies to what area. Like damn, it would be like walking right into a lions den and thinking it was a zoo. 

So, Annebella if you try to drive a wedge between Amber and Rebecca, I will find a way to reach through the 4th wall and end you. Man Anebella is bright enough to see the train wreck coming if anyting were to happen to Rebecca and Donnica was involved even just peripherally. But she can't help herself she has to meddle. I really hope she crashes and burns on this along side Naomi. Sorry I just cant stand Naomi. Great charracter terrible person. 

So now trevor and a return of cecil and an exploration of just what the kingdom is. If I was understanding all the poetry talk correctly, (by the way I loved the way you described things) the kingdom was supposed to be a refuge for tinies all around the world, But something happened and instead of being owned and ran by tinies, the evil women illuminate got ahold of it. I love the description of the computer program that is the heart of this place. Even by Cecil, its treated as if holy. Undefiled by the cruel evil giants. The one thing she has left of her Mother. Also I am wondering is Helen her sister. That would be diabolical if that was the case. So much worse than a cell indeed.

By the way the punishment seen was hot. And don't think I didn't catch that tease with water sports. You have now teased us twice on that front and you had better deliver. (I kid, write what you are comfortable with.) 

I feel for Rikki and Vikki. I really do, they are just so ( I want to say innocent, but that isn't the right word for they are far from innocent.) 

Also Trevor has a heart of gold man, but I still dont think he has fully realized what the world is changing into. And honestly I at this point I don't see how can make a positive impact big enough to really matter. Also I am not a big fan of spanking so that was in my mind to far and yet just perfect for self called gods to act. 

Honestly would it be to much to ask for Amber and Scarlett to be the only women to not shrink and they end up being the true gods of the world.

One more thing,

I think Annabel is tempting fate here. Her interfering with Rebecca could backfire on her. Like Amber said she is her daughter and Donnica will chose her first. I also like how Amber is disgusted by Annabel calling her sister.

48k words? And the size of this second segment, oyu really don't make it easy for the review, but I can't wait to dive into it and review everything.

This year was also not the best on my side but meeting you was a big highlight. I spent so much good time speaking with you. You even make me discover Baseball and the Toronto Blue-Jays, even if it kind of fucks up my sleep schedule lol .

Thanks you bro for everything can't wait to follow the story for a long time and keep speaking with you. Loves ya bro; your an incredible writer and an even better person. 

Last segment of this incredible chapter – this time both our trios from the first and second segments finally meet each other.

But before all of that, the main guest has to join the party in the person of Annabel.

And I love all the preparation for this dinner for Annie. Even though it’s just a simple dinner, the fact that everything becomes so important to her when Donnica is involved is incredible.

Also, the fact she gives herself the mission to find out what’s wrong with Amber is really funny, she is truly devoted to Donnica. I was joking about a cult in segment three, but Annie could genuinely create an entire cult for Donnica.

Her search to find what’s wrong with Amber is pure Annie-style: she gives her absolute best, scrolling through every post on Amber’s social media, checking who she’s with, especially during her travels for soccer matches… and she finds someone.

The cutest of them all: Scarlett. And what she discovers is interesting to say the least, and could explain the distance between Amber and Donnica. Because Scarlett and her family are pro-tiny and fight against everything Donnica, and Annie even more, believe in.

I find it fascinating to see how deep it goes for Scarlett. We already knew she was pro-tiny, but with this part we realize how central it is for her and her two moms; it’s literally all they believe in. It’s also great to see a different view of the world, and not just the cruel one we’re used to seeing with Donnica, Annie, Helena, and everyone around them.

I also loved how Annie gets absolutely pissed after seeing all of that, it’s so funny watching her go all in like that. But even with all the evidence, she still can’t be sure whether Scarlett is really the one “corrupting” Amber’s mind. After all, Amber is as discreet as possible, even on social media. So the only way for Annie to get to the bottom of it is to see both Amber and Scarlett in person… and the dinner at Donnica’s condo is the perfect opportunity.

And it’s time for Annie to enter. She’s welcomed by none other than Amber herself, and I have to say I really like this moment. First, the contrast between the two girls: Annie acting like it’s the most important dinner of her life, while Amber is just being a regular teenager in her comfy clothes. I also loved the moment when Amber doesn’t understand why Annie is so over-the-top happy to see her – it’s such a sweet little beat.

Something I loved a lot is Donnica. It’s amazing to see her as a normal woman cooking for her loved ones. I loved how natural she is, so different from the larger-than-life image we get through Annie’s descriptions. The fact she’s barefoot is a nice touch too (especially for a foot lover like me).

The way she acts like a real mom is also great: letting the girls have fun with Trevor instead of forcing them to help, which is exactly the opposite of what Annie expected. I hope she stays like this more often. I would love to see a good relationship develop between Donnica, Amber, and who knows, maybe even Rebecca in the future.

After some work talk between Donnica and Annie, it’s finally time for dinner… and it’s going to be something.

Annie doesn’t waste a second to make her presence known. The moment she sees Trevor being carried by the cute Scarlett, she loses it and asks to take him. Trevor’s reaction is perfect too he can already senses something’s wrong with Annie, and his usual humor is perfect.

The fact that Annie believes she’s on a sacred mission to protect Donnica and her family from Scarlett is just perfect. I love how messed-up she is all the time.

Something great as well is the parallel with Scarlett, who is just enjoying the moment and not thinking about any of this (even though Annie will soon put her through an interrogation). I really like the contrast between Scarlett and Annie – it’s so well done. We can see all the differences between these two characters even before they speak to each other.

The moment Scarlett remembers her afternoon with Trevor, Amber, and Rebecca is wholesome. I hope we see more of this group later in the story.

Her personal question about Donnica is also great; it’s interesting to see her working through the ideas she have about Donnica and what she stand for. And still be friend with her daughter without trying to change her is great. Even if a certain secretary believes the opposite. And realizing Donnica isn’t quite the monster she expected is great too.

I really enjoy the different reaction of all the protagonist, Donnica acting like the perfect housewife, Trevor’s reactions are fantastic as well – it’s so good to see all the characters behaving so differently. It’s funny that he can tell something’s wrong with Annie just by looking at her; it shows how well he understands her… and that she’s up to no good.

Finally, Annie can’t hold it in anymore and goes after poor Scarlett. She bombards her with questions designed to trap her and force her to reveal her convictions about tinies. Even when Trevor tries to save the day, Annie is smarter than that ,she knows exactly which buttons to push to make someone react.

And it works. Scarlett mentions what her moms do for a living, and Amber’s reaction is priceless – it completely shatters Annie’s theory. She realizes Scarlett isn’t the one influencing Amber… but that doesn’t stop her from continuing to go after Scarlett anyway. I also loved when Scarlett stands up for her convictions, even against Donnica, saying tinies are creatures instead of people. It reminds me of the first time Rebecca met Donnica at the ball, though the power dynamic is a little different this time.

Donnica is amazing in this segment too. We see how smart she is – she knows exactly how to talk to Scarlett without hurting her feelings. It’s an interesting dynamic. Trevor trying to stop the whole thing and give Scarlett some breathing room is fantastic; you can already feel he likes her, and the fact he’s impressed by her is great. It’s almost like a father stepping in for his daughter and realizing she doesn’t really need him and watching her proudly.

Sadly for them, Annie is not the kind of person who gives up easily. After a while, she figures everything out: Scarlett isn’t the one with the secret, it’s Amber, she owns a tiny, and Donnica doesn’t know it.

I have to say, the way you built all of this is perfect: the provocations toward Scarlett, the slow realization of the truth… absolutely flawless. We can really feel Annie as a predator who never lets go until she’s caught her prey.

Then comes the best part of the segment: the confrontation between Rebecca and Annie. Everything is perfect – from Rebecca’s perspective, who had enjoyed the day and even wait Amber’s  return with a surprise she cleans her shoes, to the slow realization that something bad is coming her way.

The pressure keeps building the whole time; the rhythm is perfect; we feel the tension rising along with Rebecca. I also loved the little detail of describing each character’s different way of walking  small touch, but perfect.

And here comes the predator stalking her prey: slow, steady, relentless. Describing everything through Rebecca’s eyes is masterful, as is comparing Annie to all the giantesses Rebecca has crossed paths within the story. All that tension, like a cat playing with a mouse… it’s mind-blowing.

Reading that moment, I genuinely felt helpless, begging for Annie to leave Rebecca alone. And she does… but only after threatening her. Leaving Rebecca alone in the dark with nothing but fear.

In conclusion: a perfect end to an incredible chapter. This one is  flawless, the character work, the emotions, the tension throughout the dinner and beyond, and that final hunt where Annie tracks down Rebecca… among the best writing I’ve ever seen. The rhythm, the tension in that last scene – we’re as helpless as Rebecca, fear being the only emotion left. Also, even though I like Annie, she really pissed me off in this segment going after two of my absolute favorite characters. Even if she isn’t the center of this segment, I really love Donnica here. With just small moments we see her switching between her masks so naturally: the kind mother, the politician who knows exactly how to wield words, and the more dominant side we’ve known since the beginning. Now I just have to wait (impatiently) for the next chapter!

S2 may well be the longest segment you've ever written, but the intensity and warmth spread throughout the scene kept me hooked the whole time!

Let's start with the massive revelation near the end of the segment: Donnica wants to get Trevor a little sex slave to meet his "smaller" needs. The irony that this came up in the same segment that we saw both Donnica and Annabelle completely overwhelm him (and the fact that he loved every second of it) isn't lost on me.

But it's things like this that make me love Donnica so much, no matter how dark she gets outside of her relationship with Trevor. This is clearly an idea that Donnica isn't fully comfortable with, as her softer demeanor and uncharacteristic lack of decisiveness when bringing it up demonstrated, but she's looking to make sure Trevor's needs are met, which is so sweet and considerate.

Now, I know some might call this selfish on her part, as she's motivated by making sure her relationship doesn't fail like those other mixed-sized relationships she researched, meaning she's "only" doing it to make sure Trevor doesn't leave. However, once he's transferred over to her from Helena (assuming that actually happens; I don't want to get too far ahead of myself!), Trevor will literally be her property. He won't be able to leave. Like legally. Once that happens, he's hers, whether he wants to be or not. So she doesn't need to cater to his needs at all. There's no need for her to see things from his perspective and anticipate any of his needs.

But she wants this for him because she wants to "own" him in a way she can't quantify, a way I don't think she herself fully understands. She'll soon literally own him and he's said that he's hers (as has Annie), putting himself through the rigorous legal process to make it so. But to truly "own" him, she wants him to put her at the center of his world, willingly. She wants his unending love and affection, not just his body or the legal authority do what she wants with it.

She wants him to be happy, truly happy, and she wants to be the reason for that happiness. She wants to make sure that she makes him feel the same way he makes her feel.

So yeah, it's incredibly caring and considerate for her to make this sacrifice, to be willing to share some small part of her man physically so that he can have everything he wants (even if might not actually want it, since, you know, she never bothered to broach the subject with him!).

However, as sweet as this idea is, it's also another example of Donnica inventing problems in their relationship. And like the other times she's done this, it's most likely going to blow up in her face, at least in the short term.

Annie's reaction to all this was pretty hilarious, too! Not only that, however, but it also showed a clear difference in belief between the two of them, who are usually in lockstep when it come to tinies. As much as Annie loves Trevor (and that unique brand of love was on full display throughout this segment), she can't even fathom that Trevor would want same-sized sex. On the surface, her disgust and dismissal at the notion initially would seem to be closed-minded and maybe even a tad bit inconsiderate, if looked at through the lens I presented above with Donnica.

Then again, maybe Annie just knows Trevor better than Donnica (or at least is more confident when it comes to him). The same split was present when Annie wanted to spank Trevor because she thought he had cheated on their goddess-mother: Donnica admitted that she thinks Annie is too physical with Trevor, yet Trevor always seems to be pushing for Annie to "punish" him. It really makes me wonder which of his two goddesses really knows him best. Or maybe Trevor simply needs both approaches in his life, hence the void he felt when Annabelle was "cast out."

Back to the spanking bit, I think it says a lot about how much Annie loves Trevor that her reaction to thinking he cheated on their goddess was to spank him, even if it was going to be hard enough to keep him standing for a month. Because, man, we've seen Annie kill tinies for significantly less, and those were in instances where Donnica hadn't been offended, which would normally bring a higher level of severity out of Annie. But with Trevor, she was outraged, yet the thought to truly destroy him never even came up. Given Annie's intense devotion to both Donnica and Trevor, I wonder what would happen if Donnica ever became upset enough to demand that Annie dispose of Trevor.

As for the sex slave/willing sex servant Donnica and Annie discussed, boy, it sure does seem like Kassandra would check a lot of those boxes, doesn't it? I'm not saying that's going to happen (at least not anytime soon), but it's almost uncanny how much of what Annie described fits Kassandra. And even Donnica's insistence that the tiny slave would have to obey her first and foremost, Kassandra's reverence for giants, feeling subservient in her grace for them protecting her, would seem to be a requirement she would meet.

Of course, there's more going on with her beneath the surface, and her feelings for Trevor are likely way more sincere than Donnica would be comfortable with (again, at least right now), so that would present an issue at some point most likely. Not to mention that Helena wouldn't just part with her favorite tiny like that.

So this could all be me just speculating over nothing, but I do think there's a potential scenario where this three-way relationship could become a four-way one. I'm not holding my breath on that, but I figured I'd float the possibility out there.

In any case, Annie is right that Trevor would never go for the sex slave thing, and having the slave hide her status runs the risk of Trevor feeling like he's cheating, which creates a whole new set of problems. And all of that is assuming they even find the right tiny for the job in the first place (potential new character?). Regardless of how far they get with this "plan," I see it going anything but smoothly!

Jumping to the beginning of the segment, I love how, among that sea of smut, you slipped in a little more about Donnica's evolution into who she is now. That small part about how her past boyfriends had left her unsatisfied, with her always giving and never receiving in the bedroom, not only makes Trevor look like a tiny little beast, but it also gives more insight into what she has become.

Donnica, it seems, spent decades being batted down by life, from her parents being cold and making decisions for her to her failed relationships with terrible men to being held back by her tiny partner at the firm. Then Trevor came into her life and showed her that things didn't have to be that way, that she deserved more. It just hit her in the way he revered her, worshiped her during that first sex scene between them. And from that moment on, she's been all about taking what she wants, what life owes her after holding her back for so long. It was a small couple lines, but that bit really resonated with me, and, for all the terrible things Donnica has done, her backstory, told in little pieces in the background without ever being the central focus, makes me continue to root for her.

And while we're taking a closer look at characters in the scene, we caught another glimpse into the darkness inside Trevor's heart, which we hadn't seen since his "breaking' at Annie's place. Trevor seems like such a good guy, and his strength and mental fortitude are undeniable, but his acknowledgment that Donnica should join The Sisterhood, that he had accepted all the things that she plans to do once tinies are "put in their proper place," proves Celine right; Trevor is selling tiny-kind up the river, which makes his desperation to save her specifically even more intriguing!

Now, this is clearly another one of those contradictions you love so much, as Trevor's willingness to accept Donnica's new world is based on equal parts love for her and hatred for what he has lost by shrinking, as well as his refusal to accept that loss. He looks down at other tinies in general because their existence is a reminder of what he's fighting against every day: his own weakness.

Yet every time we see Trevor meet a fellow tiny, actually get to know them, he views them differently. He cares about them. He shows the goodness in his heart. He wants what's best for them. Because it's easier to hate people and not care about their suffering when you don't actually know them. Not everyone has the level of empathy required to do that.

So at some point, those two sides of Trevor's heart are going to clash, and I honestly have no idea which side is going to win.

And, of course, I have to talk about my sweet, sweet Annie! She has to be a hard character to write. In a story filled with contradiction, she is more clashing parts than pretty much everyone else combined. But you continued to navigate through that contradiction flawlessly in this segment.

The way she ordered Trevor around, part breaker, part lover, was so well executed. Her words and actions during that first smut scene could easily have been written off as arrogant mocking and meanness, but beneath that layer of cruelty was the care and love she holds for Trevor, visible in the smallest of gestures and expressions. And Trevor taking note of that helped drive this home perfectly!

Then there's the back and forth between Trevor and Annie. Again, Annabelle sounds so cruel and heartless when her words are taken without the proper context, calling him slave and threatening to punish him for his insolence. But a closer look shows that this is just a game between them, something understood without words, something that even Donnica doesn't seem to fully understand. It's such fun banter, and Trevor egging Annie on, wanting his punishment for "offending" Annie, is fucking adorable, as is Annie's own excitement at that game!

I really love seeing these two together!

I was also so happy to see Donnica clue Annie and Trevor in on what she had learned about The Sisterhood. Donnica calls them worshipers, but she sees them as so much more than that. The goddess bit is a facade, even if she doesn't realize it, and she needs people like Annabelle and Trevor in her life, people she can trust and let her guard down around. Shit, that might be the only thing keeping her sane at this point!

I also knew Annie would hate The Kingdom, and now I feel validated. It also makes sense that she would appreciate the grander vision of The Sisterhood, although, again, I think the details of what they want wouldn't align with dreams either. I think Donnica and Annie generally agree with The Sisterhood, wanting goddesses to rule the tiny world beneath them, but as for all the rituals and rules the organization has in place, let alone their views on tinies? Nah, they'd rather do their own thing. It'll be interesting see if Donnica ends up being tempted or swayed by the ways of The Sisterhood at some point, but clearly that day hasn't come yet.

Oh, and Trevor giving Donnica his blessing to join The Sisterhood seems like another decision that's likely to come back to bite him in the ass, just like the Status-C situation!

Finally, as for the smut itself, that opening to the segment was one of the hottest you've written yet! The idea of Donnica giving up control to Trevor and Annie shows how much she truly cares about them, but holy shit was watching her struggle to contain herself fucking enthralling. And Trevor being nervous in the moment, needing Annie's reassurance (through that smug veneer, of course!) was as adorable as it was sexy.

But the money shot here was when Donnica's pure lust literally overwhelmed him, her drooling pussy taking control of him without Donnica even fucking trying! FUCK! That's so fucking hot! Even when Donnica willingly gives Trevor control, her body alone, just doing its thing, is too much for him. I can't think of anything more divine than that!

And Annie coming in with her tongue? Holy fuck, man! That shit was mind-blowing! Not only did she driving Trevor inside Donnica with that tongue, but she navigated him around with such precision by the tip of it! Fuck!

Did I mention that this was hot?

And then Annie using a depleted Trevor to get herself off, and an exhausted Trevor loving every second of it, was incredible as well. the perfect end to that half-segment.

Oh, and Donnica using her ass to "cone of silence" Trevor on the regular is fucking hilarious! Sexy, too, but funny as fuck to me!

So yeah, obviously I was a fan of this segment! It was so great to see these three together again. It seems like Annie is slowly becoming the lynchpin connecting all of these arcs, doesn't it? We haven't seen her dip into the Amber/Rebecca/Scarlett one yet, but that's clearly coming. Before we know it, Annie will know as much as we do about what's going on!
