She was like a teenager again... like some helpless, hormonal creature that had seen something too hot to handle and was now meant to just go on about her day. The image burned in her mind: a girl alone in her room, grinding against the mattress, whimpering into her pillow, her fingers trembling at the button of her jeans. That was her now.
This is maybe as telling a passage about who Donnica is, or rather how she was shaped, as we've seen in the story so far.
It seems to me that when someone thinks about the passion, the sexual drive she's describing here, they would reflect on their first time, how it felt to be with her first partner or maybe just her most passionate one (not named Trevor). Instead, when she thinks of passion and that kind of drive, she thinks about masturbating, even emphasizing that she was a girl alone in her room.
This makes a lot of sense to me, though. I've long thought that Donnica was driven to loneliness, devoid of the love and affection that would have allowed her to embrace that sweet, caring woman hiding beneath that rock hard armor of dominance and bitterness (the one we saw pop her head out at the end of the segment, after the greatest orgasm of Donnica's life, apparently). So the fact that her go-to comparison is her taking care of herself just fits.
Her previous relationships were all terrible and maybe abusive (at least they were for Amber, and we know some of the men Donnica had been with before made fun of her foot smell at the very least), so of course she wouldn't think of any of those assholes.
She's never had anyone in her life to rely on before Trevor, so of course no one else would be involved in such an important memory.
When I think of Donnica, I think of self-reliance, so of course such a significant memory would be her doing all the work, relying on no one to take care of her needs.
That passage, to me at least, kind of validated a lot of my thoughts about Donnica's past, but it was also incredibly sad. It was a reminder of how alone Donnica has been for most of her life. I still feel like that's why she lacks empathy, both for tinies and even most of her fellow giants; no one ever seemed to show her any ... until Trevor.
And man do I love Trevor and Donnica's dynamic! Have I ever mentioned that before? They were so awesome in S4.
Trevor forcing the conversation back to Donnica's accusation seemed two-fold to me: He legitimately wanted to emphasize that it bothered him that she thought so little of him and because, as Donnica realized just before the smut, he wanted to push her buttons and work off that sexual tension from seeing the Kingdom for the first time.
But the way he forced the issue, telling her she crossed a line and later asking what she'd do if he ever actually did cheat with another tiny (an odd little caveat he carved for himself there), he knew how she'd feel about those words and pushed ahead anyway, without fear. Again, there's that trust between them that allows Trevor to be so honest and play these games with the most dangerous giant around
And again, Donnica recognized what he was doing so quickly, which allowed them to get right to the good stuff instead of wasting time arguing or making threats. She knew he wanted it just as much as she did, and she was eager to oblige both him and herself.
Also, I thought this was an amazing contrast from the Penelope rape scene. Both of them took place in limos, too. But when Donnica was lowering Trevor downt the length of her body, the vibe was completely the opposite of when Penelope did the same several chapters earlier. The difference between dominating because you can and dominating with purpose, with love, was so starkly highlighted between these two scenes.
Her moans rolled through him like thunder over open plains, shaking the very breath from his lungs. He was nothing. Nothing to her. And that truth filled him with euphoria. She knew it. He knew it. And both of them, utterly, irrevocably, loved it.
I love this, because this is such a contradiction with how they feel about each other. They are everything to each other, Trevor to Donnica especially, given her likely bleak, affectionless life before Trevor. But physically, he's nothing to her, and that's a huge turn-on for the both of them. I love that weird, wonderful balance between two things that shouldn't be able to be true at the same time but definitely are here.
The death of the ass worshipper kind of reaffirms my thoughts on Donnica and the Kingdom. She doesn't give a shit about them. That love is one-way and not real. Donnica had that girl truly devoted to her, and after she realized it, she killed the tiny ass slave without a second thought.
The Sisterhood seems as though they hold their subjects in high regard. They love them and want them to be happy, and in exchange, they're worshipped like gods. They won't hesitate to "smite" those who aren't initiated with great prejudice, but once you're in, you're special.
That is clearly not the case with Donnica. She loves the thought of being revered, loved rather than feared. There were a few lines in this segment that seemed to back that up. But unlike The Sisterhood, Donnica has no interest in returning the love and devotion of those beneath her. She's not a benevolent god, even to her "followers." These subjects are just a tool for her, something that will make her feel the love she's been lacking for most of her life. And the world built for them makes her feel as divine as she thinks she is.
So she wants that world, and I have little doubt she'll get it, especially since Helena seems to have a huge soft (read blind) spot for her. Juliette warned Helena about this a while back (when she advised Helena to kill Trevor and be done with it), but Helena refused to listen. Some of that might be because of Donnica's imprinting potential, but I think a lot of it is a sense of admiration, the same thing that made her so furious at Trevor for "disrespecting" Donnica during the whole "affair" thing.
So yeah, Helena has a weakness for Donnica to exploit, and I fully expect our leading lady to find a way to just that at some point, probably in the near future (Donnica isn't exactly the patient type).
It was also clearly no coincidence that you referenced that night way back in chapter two when Trevor "awakened" Donnica. This fantastic smut scene was clearly meant to be another, much stronger awakening (if the orgasm is anything to go by; equal to all three of the ones from chapter two?! Damn!). This makes sense, since Donnica's world just got bigger by getting smaller, oddly enough.
And like I said above, it was so nice to see the "hidden" Donnica come out at the end. Her using her size to express her love, making his body rumble with her adoring whispers and caressing his body with her lips was amazing to read! I love that gentle action after such intense smut and the tension at the beginning of the segment.
And Donnica agreeing to take Trevor with her to that college visit for Amber was even sweeter. Even though her dark urge to take over the Kingdom still lingered, her desire to be with her family was at the forefront. And she expressed that she was Trevor and Amber's as much as they were hers, which is a hell of a sentiment for someone like Donnica to even consider, let alone accept. Again, I really hope that she can form a real, healthy relationship with Amber by the end of the story. For everything Donnica has done and is seemingly about to do, I'm still rooting for her!
And with you hinting before that we might see that college visit in the story, I'm even more excited for the next chapter. Hopefully, Amber can have a bonding moment with both Donnica and Trevor. Amber deserves to have a father figure in her life that isn't complete shit!

The final segment of the incredible Chapter 32 and it’s the perfect way to close it out. It’s much lighter than the previous four segments, offering a slice-of-life moment with Scarlett and Rebecca, exactly what we needed to catch our breath after the intense action in Segment 4.
First, I
really enjoyed the contrast between Donnica and Amber regarding the college
visit. Donnica is genuinely excited about it, treating it as a significant
event, even leaving the kingdom and Trevor behind (despite some changes to the
initial plan who make him stay for the visit). Meanwhile, Amber would rather do
anything else than spend time with her mom at some fancy college she has no
interest in attending.
Still, I hope things go smoothly for both and that they have meaningful mother-daughter time.
Another interesting detail is that Annie was the one who told Amber about the meeting with Donnica. This might suggest that Donnica has forgiven Annie’s mistake with Trevor, at least, I hope so, because I love their trio.
The heart of this segment, though, is clearly Scarlett and Rebecca’s time together, and it was fantastic. I loved learning more about Scarlett, she’s such a compelling character. It’s fascinating to see her vulnerability in this segment, especially since she was introduced as a strong, determined character striving to be even better. Here, we see she’s like Amber: she wears an armor, but without it, she’s just a normal teenager with lot of fears.
Rebecca steps in to help her through Rejection Therapy, which I think was a brilliant idea. As someone who relates to Scarlett’s fears, I found this approach amazing.
The execution was perfect, starting with silly tasks like asking for a rival company’s product or a free item, and building up to the final challenge, the one that made her uncomfortable from the start: talking to the girls on her soccer team to hang out and train with them to improve her skills. And it works! I loved how the thing that scared her most turned out to be no big deal; it just took the courage to talk to others.
The chapter ends with a pivotal moment: the realization that Scarlett has feelings for Rebecca. Before that can go further, a dog appears, prompting Scarlett to protect Rebecca. I really liked this imagery because, throughout the segment, it feels like Rebecca is the giantess, leading Scarlett with advice and direction while Scarlett follows. But at the end, the balance of power is restored; Scarlett is the strong one, protecting Rebecca, who appears more vulnerable.
In conclusion, this was an amazing segment. It resonated with me deeply because I saw myself in Scarlett. It also raises intriguing questions: How will Amber’s meeting with her mom go? Has Annie truly regained Donnica’s favor? And how will the relationships between Amber, Scarlett, and Rebecca evolve, especially with Scarlett’s growing feelings for Rebecca becoming clearer?

"The final segment of the incredible Chapter 32 and

segments, offering a slice-of-life moment with Scarlett and Rebecca, exactly
what we needed to catch our breath after the intense action in Segment 4."
Thank you for saying so! I was a little worried the first
part of the chapter might’ve been too heavy and that this last segment wouldn’t
quite land in the same way, but after hearing your thoughts (and a few others),
I’m really happy with how it turned out :)
"First, I really enjoyed the contrast between
Donnica and Amber regarding the college visit. Donnica is genuinely excited
about it, treating it as a significant event, even leaving the kingdom and
Trevor behind (despite some changes to the initial plan who make him stay for
the visit). Meanwhile, Amber would rather do anything else than spend time with
her mom at some fancy college she has no interest in attending."
Good catch! They totally fell into the classic
mother/teenage-daughter dynamic here, Donnica eager to spend time with Amber
and Amber just wanting to be anywhere else. That said, I do love
Donnica’s effort in this moment to connect with her daughter. Fingers crossed it ends up being a good memory
for them both :)
"Another interesting detail is that Annie was the
one who told Amber about the meeting with Donnica. This might suggest that
Donnica has forgiven Annie’s mistake with Trevor, at least, I hope so, because
I love their trio."
You might be onto something there, and we just might be
checking back in on Donnica & Annabel very soon… maybe even next chapter ;)
"The heart of this segment, though, is clearly
Scarlett and Rebecca’s time together, and it was fantastic. I loved learning

with lot of fears."
Totally agree, there’s nothing better than pulling back the
curtain on a character like that, and with Scarlett, we finally get to see that
beneath all her strength and drive, she’s still just a teenage girl figuring it
all out, much like Amber. I’m really glad you found her compelling… it’s always a
challenge juggling this many characters, so it means a lot to hear she’s
standing out.
"Rebecca steps in to help her through Rejection
Therapy, which I think was a brilliant idea. As someone who relates to
Scarlett’s fears, I found this approach amazing."
Thank you so much! I remember reading about rejection
therapy years ago and really connecting with it myself… it stuck with me. I
think everyone carries some level of fear around being rejected, and I was
hoping this scene might nudge a few readers to be a little braver in their own
lives :)
"The chapter ends with a pivotal moment: the
realization that Scarlett has feelings for Rebecca. Before that can go further,
a dog appears, prompting Scarlett to protect Rebecca. I really liked this

end, the balance of power is restored; Scarlett is the strong one, protecting
Rebecca, who appears more vulnerable."
Yes! You totally got what I was trying to do there. Rebecca
definitely steps into a bigger role in this chapter (guiding, supporting, even
“leading” Scarlett) but that final moment was about snapping the physical power
dynamic back into place, and letting Scarlett own her size again. And it
hits harder, I think, because of how grateful she is to Rebecca. That shift
really charges the energy between them. It supercharges the moment!
"In conclusion, this was an amazing segment. It
resonated with me deeply because I saw myself in Scarlett. It also raises
intriguing questions: How will Amber’s meeting with her mom go? Has Annie truly
regained Donnica’s favor? And how will the relationships between Amber,
Scarlett, and Rebecca evolve, especially with Scarlett’s growing feelings for
Rebecca becoming clearer?"
Thank you so much for this review, it was amazing as always.
And I can happily confirm: we’ll be seeing Amber and Donnica’s college tour very soon, and we’ll also check in on where things stand between Donnica and Annabel shortly as well. As for the evolving dynamic between the teenagers and Rebecca… that’s absolutely going to be a major thread going forward. Can’t wait to show you where it all leads.





Date: September 04 2025 5:26 AM Title: PART 32
Your move, Kassandra!
You know, when Trevor first told Kassandra about his relationship with Donnica and she tried to dismiss it, Kassandra acted like Trevor was confused and misguided about the nature of that relationship. Kassandra, for all her wisdom, is so blinded by how things work in the Kingdom, that she honestly believes that what's happening within its walls is reality and that it's the outside world that has things wrong.
I think she wanted Trevor to keep coming to the Kingdom because she wanted to "help" him. She wanted him to understand that tinies are meant to be subservient, that the love between Donnica and him couldn't be romantic, no matter how much he wanted it to be. In her eyes, he was a lovesick puppy, and she wanted to save him from that, primarily because she wanted him for herself.
But I'm pretty sure she understands now. Well, not entirely sure, but she's brilliant, so I can't fathom that she could watch that display between Trevor and Donnica and not realize that they are an actual couple and not worshipper and worshipped. I'm incredibly curious to see how she handles this, as we didn't get to see much from her due to her reverence for the two "goddesses" gracing her with their presence as Trevor told one of them off as an equal. Will this make her want Trevor more? Will it make her feel like he's a blasphemer? Will she no longer want him in the Kingdom now that she knows he's actually taken? Will potential jealousy of Donnica make feelings about giants that Kassandra has long tried to bury come back to the surface?
No clue, but it should be fun regardless!
Donnica's unwarranted jealousy was interesting! How quickly she assumed the worst of Trevor even after everything they've been through and the reason they're in this Status C mess in the first place was ridiculous but not the least bit surprising. She's always an insecure mess when it comes to him, so it makes sense that seeing him with someone his own size coming out of a one-room cabin would stir unfounded accusations out of her.
But it was more the way her romantic past tied into it that drew my attention. It wasn't bad enough that some of her former lovers abused Amber behind her back (and therefore maybe put their hands on her as well), but they also cheated on her constantly. That explains a lot about her, actually. The trust issues. the possessiveness. The general lack of empathy (slightly more on that below!). The need to dominate everything. A lot of all that probably stems back to this. She's tired of being pushed around by the world. Of being taken advantage of. Of having her emotions played with. Between that and how cold and distant her parents were in raising her, the fact that she appears heartless and cold herself shouldn't surprise anyone.
More importantly, how fucking impressive is it that Trevor has managed to get past all that and earn her love and respect?
Speaking of him, of course he's had to deal with suspicious lovers in the past. So now we have Donnica, who's terrified of being cheated on, and Trevor, who's sick of being accused of cheating without reason. And the two of them handle these feelings in the worst way, because they've both been there before and have no patience for going ther again.
And oddly enough, they get through it despite all that. They know each other so well. It was so telling that Donnica was furious about Trevor saying he had sex with Kassandra, not because she believed it (because she knew he was lying) but because he embarrassed her. She recognized Trevor's reaction, and him "admitting" to the affair was probably the clearest way he could convince her that he didn't sleep with Kassandra, even if that wasn't his intention. I mean, Donnica has been cheated on before, so it would make sense that she would remain suspicious no matter what he said. Yet in that one simple snide remark, all doubt (but not anger) had been removed. Because she knows him. I can't emphasize enough how huge a thing this is.
On the other side of it, Trevor never once feared Donnica's wrath, no matter how angry she was. And this wasn't like previous rage he had seen from her: She felt utterly betrayed in that moment. That's dangerous, especially for someone Trevor's size. But all he could think about was how hurt he was that she would ever think that of him. So instead of hesitating for even a second or having to swallow down fear to defend himself, he came back at her hard, letting his own anger do the talking for him.
That's fucking trust!
That whole part of the segment was just a microcosm of why these two are so good together. It isn't just because the story says so or that they're a vehicle for smut. These two are alive with personality, and they actually mesh together in a way that's as realistic as it is enthralling to read.
I did very, very briefly fear for Kassandra, though. I never thought I'd be glad to see Helena! The way she swooped in and nabbed Kassandra before Donnica could get her hands on the tiny shows how special Kassandra is to her. And the fact that Helena later laughed off (once again) the prospect of Kassandra having a thing for Trevor shows how little she actually knows about Kassandra!
Her eyes were too busy watching the world below, her senses flooded, her very soul quaking in this place that seemed to welcome her in a way no world ever had.
Well, this was an interesting sentence. In my predictions that Donnica would ultimately hate how things work in the Kingdom, I hadn't considered how she might find something here that she had been struggling to find all her life: love. I'm still not totally sure that she'll be cool with how much autonomy the tinies there have and how comfortably they get to live, although now I think this warm feeling she gets from them might make her okay with it ... in the short term.
I do still think she'll come to despise this place in the long term, though. Because the love the tinies are offering isn't real. And I'm not just talking about the imprinting, as it's still not definitive whether ever subject has to go through that to gain entry into the Kingdom (although some most certainly have at the very least). This love is fake, because they're showing it to Donnica, and they don't even know her. That kind of love and devotion isn't something that can just be handed out to strangers like that. This is manufactured, whether it be through imprinting, cult-like conditions, or simply being born in the Kingdom and being taught that this is the way things are. Even though Donnica is just getting her first taste of the Kingdom, I already feel confident that her current infatuation with it is only going to lead to hatred.
Trevor will probably play a role in that, even if he isn't trying to. I say that because the love Trevor showers her with is real, is earned, and, at some point, Donnica is going to realize the difference. Granted, given how distant the people of her past were, it may take her some time to figure it out, but that already feels like an inevitability to me.
Speaking of Donnica, was I the only one frustrated that she wasn't paying attention to Helena during that walk across the Kingdom? This was a really clever tease on your part, hinting that Helena was telling Donnica all the secrets we so desperately want to hear, only for Donnica to not hear a word of it because of her amazement at the tiny world and its people, not to mention that love that overtook her when she saw Trevor again, in the Kingdom of all places.
And then you teased us again at the end of the segment, with Donnica wanting to stay and find out all those answers we've been waiting for but not being able to. You're a cruel dude, you know that?
Speaking of that reunion, there was a brief line before Kassandra popped out of the cabin and shit nearly hit the fan that I thought was a brilliant little gentle line:
He looked up. She looked down. A shared current passed between them, a silent understanding, a knowing gleam in their eyes. She tried to temper herself, to ease her steps, soften the tremors she imagined thundering beneath his feet, though he didn’t seem to falter.
We talked about restrained power in the previous segment, but this is a hell of an example of it here. Donnica, particularly because she seemingly always walks as though she's a force of nature, softening her steps out of consideration for Trevor is so heartwarming. This is a level of empathy she reserves only for him, and it's beautiful.
Also that line about him not faltering is also pretty poetic. She's softening her steps for him, but he was withstanding them just fine even before she did that. He's not only used to her but adores her power, lusts for it.
Overall, there was a lot there in this little passage.
And while I'm on a quoting frenzy, let's throw this one out there as well:
But somehow, impossibly, that eased the knot in her chest. That defiance. That stubborn little tilt of his chin. It didn’t challenge her divinity so much as reach beneath it, brushing something far more vulnerable. Something tender. It reminded her of herself — not the goddess, not the master — but the woman who had fallen in love with a tiny man she couldn’t control. And for a fleeting moment, that resistance didn’t threaten her. It calmed her. Grounded her. Made her feel, if only briefly, like a lover again. Wanted. And wanting.
And despite the storm inside her, a flicker of a smile teased at the corner of her lips.
Yes! This is what I've been saying about Trevor and Donnica for quite a while now. Trevor is the only one who's able to penetrate that hard, protective exterior, the one that has to dominate everything to keep the real her from suffering the way she had so many times before. Just be being himself, being real with her, that vulnerable, sweet, yearning woman hiding beneath all that gets to come out once in a while, and it's always wonderful!
This is the first time I've seen it articulated so plainly, though, so it really stuck out to me!
And of course Helena doesn't understand this and takes this interaction as sacrilege. Because, unlike Donnica, there is no woman hiding underneath for Helena. This is just her. This is all she has. She could never understand the nature of Donnica and Trevor's relationship (#Themes!). To her, Trevor's defiance is an affront to all she holds dear, while, to Donnica, it's a reminder of why she fell in love with him. If there was ever a moment that showed the difference between these two giants, it was this one.
Aw! Donnica made time to take Amber to check out a university! I love her trying to be a good mom, even though she's failing at it miserably! She wants to be there for Amber so much, yet she doesn't know how to do that. She doesn't know how to relate to her daughter, and she certainly doesn't know how to stop working to take everything she feels both Amber and her are owed, ironically enough. It's really sad, but moments like this give me hope for them.

I love that you said it was 'ridiculous but not the least
bit surprising', that’s exactly what I was going for. After everything
she and Trevor went through with Annabel, she seemed to ease off the insecurity,
but deep down, it’s just baked into her. Possessiveness and insecurity are in
her bones when it comes to him because of where she came from. I worried that
might not read the way I intended, so I’m thrilled you saw it... and I loved the wording you used!
"And oddly enough, they get through it despite all
that. They know each other so well. It was so telling that Donnica was furious

You nailed it, completely. That ‘admission’ was the paradox
that cleared his name. Like you said, Donnica knew it wasn’t true, but
it still humiliated her. And that’s what cut deepest. It wasn’t about betrayal;
it was about being made to feel small again like she used to with her past lovers.
And you’re right… her anger didn’t vanish, but the doubt did. That’s the
heartbeat of their bond. They know each other’s truths, even in their most
brutal moments.
"That whole part of the segment was just a microcosm

or that they're a vehicle for smut. These two are alive with personality, and

This was such a generous thing to say, and it means a lot.
We’re almost half a million words in, and I do sometimes worry they (Donnica
and Trevor) might be fading in the shadow of newer characters. So hearing that
they still feel alive (still compelling) is incredibly validating. And I agree:
that moment was a snapshot of who they are together, flaws and all.
"I did very, very briefly fear for Kassandra,
though. I never thought I'd be glad to see Helena! The way she swooped in and
nabbed Kassandra before Donnica could get her hands on the tiny shows how
special Kassandra is to her. And the fact that Helena later laughed off (once

actually knows about Kassandra!"
Haha yes! I remembered your last review where you joked
Kassandra might end up a stain under Donnica’s foot, and I was grinning knowing
you were about to hit this part. I did try to build that tension… Donnica’s
fury, Kassandra’s smallness, and then boom: Helena swoops in like a colossus.
You were meant to feel nervous there!
"Speaking of Donnica, was I the only one frustrated that she wasn't paying attention to Helena during that walk across the Kingdom?

stay and find out all those answers we've been waiting for but not being able
to. You're a cruel dude, you know that?"
You're definitely not the only one to bring this up! And
yes, Donnica absolutely missed some critical info... but I’ll say this:
what Helena was sharing at that point was more mechanical and surface-level
than the deeper origin stuff that everyone’s dying to know. We’ll get to all of
it… I promise. But in that moment? Donnica was just too swept up in the Kingdom!
And hey… sending Donnica off to tour a college with her
daughter is not cruel, it’s adorable! You guys can wait a little longer for
answers, right? Right?
"Also that line about him not faltering is also
pretty poetic. She's softening her steps for him, but he was withstanding them
just fine even before she did that. He's not only used to her but adores her
power, lusts for it."
Man, you always have a way of picking out the exact lines I
loved writing, and that was definitely one of them. I was trying to land this
mix of gutlessness, like Trevor’s got this quiet grit, but also thread it with
that underlying dominance that fuels so much of the erotic charge in this
fetish. You totally picked up on both!
"Yes! This is what I've been saying about Trevor and
Donnica for quite a while now. Trevor is the only one who's able to penetrate
that hard, protective exterior, the one that has to dominate everything to keep
the real her from suffering the way she had so many times before. Just be being
himself, being real with her, that vulnerable, sweet, yearning woman hiding
beneath all that gets to come out once in a while, and it's always
wonderful!"
That paragraph was hard to write! It went through so
many revisions because I needed it to explain why their fight didn’t
destroy them… without making it feel like some narrative sleight of hand. I
didn’t want to skip over the conflict; I wanted to show why they still
work. And you perfectly understood it!
"And of course Helena doesn't understand this and
takes this interaction as sacrilege. Because, unlike Donnica, there is no woman
hiding underneath for Helena. This is just her. This is all she has. She could
never understand the nature of Donnica and Trevor's relationship (#Themes!). To
her, Trevor's defiance is an affront to all she holds dear, while, to Donnica,
it's a reminder of why she fell in love with him. If there was ever a moment
that showed the difference between these two giants, it was this one."
You absolutely nailed it. Helena sees Trevor’s defiance as a
failure. Donnica sees it as (in some strange way) proof that he’s hers.
And yeah… this really is the moment that draws the line between Helena and
Donnica.
That said… I do wonder if there’s another woman under
all that Helena. Maybe someone buried so deep even she forgot she was there…
...nahhhhhh. Probably not!
"Aw! Donnica made time to take Amber to check out a
university! I love her trying to be a good mom, even though she's failing at it
miserably! She wants to be there for Amber so much, yet she doesn't know how to
do that. She doesn't know how to relate to her daughter, and she certainly
doesn't know how to stop working to take everything she feels both Amber and
her are owed, ironically enough. It's really sad, but moments like this give me
hope for them."
This comment made me smile. When I was trying to figure out
how to pull Donnica away from the Kingdom, my first instinct was work, some
legal fire she had to put out. But it didn’t feel right. It wasn’t urgent
enough. Not personal enough. And then it clicked: it had to be Amber. Of course
it was her child!
And while I don’t like giving away spoilers… let’s just say
we might be seeing a little of that college tour very soon ;)





Date: September 03 2025 10:06 PM Title: PART 32
I absolutely love the introduction of the third segment—it’s captivating! In the second segment’s introduction, Trevor feels uncomfortable with Juliette’s presence in the kingdom, but in the third, he admires her. It feels like helping Clara and seeing Juliette’s vulnerability changed him. Perhaps he’s starting to feel like he belongs in the kingdom, not just an outsider.
I know I say this a lot, but the descriptive work amazes me every time. It’s pristine, we can visualize everything perfectly because of it.
What I really enjoy in this chapter, and particularly in this segment, is the connection between Trevor and Kassandra. Sometimes, it feels like they’re two sides of the same coin. Their bond strengthens throughout the chapter. At first, Kassandra was just a beautiful lady, then a respectable figure, then a guide and friend, and now, maybe a lover soon? Who knows what might happen in the kingdom!
I also loved the moment in the cabin when Trevor opens up to Kassandra. Their conversation is engaging, and Kassandra’s actions toward Trevor are perfect. Her calm, subtle approach shows she wants to get closer to him in her own way. You portrayed it so well—we can feel how hard it is for Trevor to resist her, unlike with Vivara or Clara, where he seems awkward and uninterested. With Kassandra, it’s different. Fortunately for him, and unfortunately for her, he hears and feels the footsteps of two giantesses, especially Donnica.
I feel sad for Kassandra, though—she gets completely ignored the moment Trevor sees Donnica. Before we get to the moment with Trevor and Donnica, we see Donnica discovering the kingdom, and it’s clear she loves this place. It’s interesting how she completely ignores Helena’s explanations and just revels in the feeling of power.
The best part of this segment is when Trevor and Donnica see each other. Donnica also notices Kassandra leaving the cabin after Trevor, and being Donnica, she immediately feels jealousy and anger before even considering why they were together. As she’s about to confront Kassandra, Helena stops her, it’s amusing how Helena already knows what Donnica will do. Even though Helena tries to calm the situation, it’s too late. Donnica is already recalling the scars of her past, and trying to soothe her is pointless.
Trevor,
however, confronts her, and this passage is absolutely perfect. Donnica’s
wrath, Helena’s cold anger, and Kassandra’s calm attempts to pacify Donnica
create a fantastic dynamic. Helena’s claim that Kassandra and Trevor being
together is “impossible” made me laugh so much—she’s so blind, it’s hilarious!
Another
intriguing aspect of this segment is the power of Donnica and Trevor. Even in
the kingdom, a place where they don’t belong, they’re at the center of
everything. Even Helena, who owns the place and has authority over Trevor,
doesn’t challenge him when he disregards the rules. The fact that Trevor, a
tiny man, is the only one in the world who dares challenge Donnica is
priceless. It’s like he’s a giant among men. Perhaps it’s because Trevor and
Donnica are so similar—they both need someone to put them in their place, not
with strength but with something more powerful.
Sadly,
Donnica’s exploration of the kingdom ends here because she has a meeting with
Amber to visit colleges across the country.
Segment
four is also incredible, even though it focuses more on action. I love the
beginning, with Donnica wanting to own the kingdom and not just be Helena’s
guest. This segment really hints at tension brewing between these two powerful
giantesses. The way Donnica controls her pleasure while in the kingdom reminds
me of chapter two, when she first craved fun with Trevor. It’s the same intense
feeling—she couldn’t focus and became overwhelmed with desire. That was also
when she realized she’s a goddess, so maybe this new experience will make her
even more divine.
I truly
feel like this is Donnica’s third birth: her natural one, the one in chapter
two when she discovered her power, and now this moment when she aspires to rule
the kingdom. This is sealed when the tiny woman submits to Donnica and gets
crushed—she’s the true queen.
But Trevor
is still there, and wow, I love how he talks to Donnica! It’s so
entertaining—he doesn’t care that she’s one of the most powerful giantesses. He
speaks to her casually, something even the other giantesses never do. Finally,
they can’t resist each other anymore, and their explosive, passionate encounter
is wild and bestial. We can feel how much they missed each other.
In conclusion, these are two amazing segments. The fourth is packed with action, while the third has fascinating developments, especially Donnica’s feelings toward the kingdom and Kassandra growing closer to Trevor. These segments raise many questions, particularly about how Donnica will react to Helena when Trevor is with her again. Without this leverage, will Helena be able to stop Donnica?

Great catch! He really does have two completely different
reactions before and after the cabin scene… and it’s that glimpse of
vulnerability that flips the switch for him. Funny how that works: we spend so
much of our lives hiding the raw parts of ourselves, when in reality, it’s that
exposure that makes us relatable and draws others in.
"What I really enjoy in this chapter, and

lover soon? Who knows what might happen in the kingdom!"
Yeah, there’s definitely something between them, even if
it’s subtle right now. They just seem to move in step with each other, both
carrying themselves well among giants, bouncing off each others energy. Where that spark goes in the future…
well, that’s the fun part to find out.
"I feel sad for Kassandra, though—she gets

In all fairness, Trevor’s already taken, so if Kassandra
feels a sting there, that heartbreak is her own to wrestle with. And yes,
Donnica is absolutely swept away by the Kingdom… like, reallllly swept away by
it. Hmmmmmmmm...
"Trevor, however, confronts her, and this passage is
absolutely perfect. Donnica’s wrath, Helena’s cold anger, and Kassandra’s calm
attempts to pacify Donnica create a fantastic dynamic. Helena’s claim that
Kassandra and Trevor being together is “impossible” made me laugh so much—she’s

I love this breakdown, you nail each energy in the room: the
wrath, the cold, the calm. It’s a clash of archetypes. And you’re right,
Trevor’s confrontational streak is exactly what makes Donnica burn hotter for
him, it fuels their fire. And Helena’s blind spot when it comes to Kassandra is
always fun to play with. She just can’t imagine her precious little tiny Kassandra smitten with a troublemaker like Trevor. What happens if she ever does see it though???
"Another intriguing aspect of this segment is the
power of Donnica and Trevor. Even in the kingdom, a place where they don’t

their place, not with strength but with something more powerful."
You hit it exactly. Donnica and Trevor are wildly different,
yet they mirror each other in ways that matter most. Maybe that shared defiance
is the only thing strong enough to balance them, or maybe it’s what will break
them. And yes, it’s always amusing to watch Helena tiptoe around Trevor. She’s
so determined to win Donnica over that even in her own dominion she lets him
bend rules… at least for now.
"I truly feel like this is Donnica’s third birth:
her natural one, the one in chapter two when she discovered her power, and now
this moment when she aspires to rule the kingdom. This is sealed when the tiny
woman submits to Donnica and gets crushed—she’s the true queen."
This is EXACTLY the effect I was going for, that the
Kingdom’s awakening hit her almost as hard as that first night dominating
Trevor back in chapter two. Seeing that connection land for you is incredibly
rewarding. Now that she’s tasted this inner desire, the question becomes… what
does she do with it?
"But Trevor is still there, and wow, I love how he
talks to Donnica! It’s so entertaining—he doesn’t care that she’s one of the
most powerful giantesses. He speaks to her casually, something even the other

explosive, passionate encounter is wild and bestial. We can feel how much they
missed each other."
Yes! Trevor’s rebellion is the accelerant on Donnica’s fire,
it’s what makes her hunger flare into full-blown lust. I’m so glad that came
across. And you’re right, they did miss each other, that reunion was fun to see play out. But with Trevor about to face an even longer stay at the estate, the
real question is… how will they cope when they’re pulled apart again for even
more time?
"In conclusion, these are two amazing segments. The

especially Donnica’s feelings toward the kingdom and Kassandra growing closer

Thank you so much, as always! You honed in on exactly the
threads I wanted readers to notice, Donnica’s growing intoxication with the
Kingdom, and Kassandra’s subtle pull toward Trevor. Both will play a big part
moving forward.
And yes… Trevor’s next prolonged stay is going to test
everyone involved. Everyone.
Thanks again!





Date: August 26 2025 9:25 PM Title: PART 32
Your second segment is absolutely amazing—definitely the highlight of this chapter! First, I want to congratulate you on Juliette’s development. Initially, she felt like a block of ice, showing almost no emotions except for being harsh toward Annie, which made her an unappealing character. But in this single segment, you’ve transformed her into someone genuinely likable, someone I’d want to spend more time with.
I love how this segment starts with Trevor feeling discomfort in Juliette’s presence. It’s great to get insight into Trevor’s emotions, and it sets up a fantastic introduction. Right away, we see the contrast between the Kingdom and the outside world. The Kingdom is a place where Trevor can finally let his guard down. For once, he feels human again, not just tiny. This is a powerful opening—it subtly shows the Kingdom’s influence on tinies, even someone as reluctant as Trevor.
The conversation with Kassandra is also interesting. It’s an effective way to show her feelings for Trevor. Even though her mission is to watch over him, it’s clear she likes him and wants to integrate him into the Kingdom by introducing him to its people and showing him everything she’s allowed to. Perhaps she even hopes he’ll surrender to the Goddess so he can stay with her forever. But despite Kassandra’s charm, Trevor remains wary of the Kingdom, especially its tendency to give people meaningless tasks. It feels like an illusion—the Goddess assigns useless jobs to keep tinies active and prevent them from thinking too deeply, ensuring they all believe it’s a paradise. This cynical perspective is intriguing and adds depth.
I also enjoy the size comparisons between the giantesses, their objects, and the Kingdom itself. Since the Kingdom is built for tinies, it makes the giantesses seem even larger, giving them a godly presence. We saw this earlier with Helena’s throne, and now with Juliette towering over the small cabin—it’s a striking image. The highlight of this chapter, though, is undoubtedly Clara locking herself in the cabin and refusing to open the door for Juliette. This moment is incredibly well written. I loved seeing Juliette’s vulnerability here. She could easily destroy the cabin and take Clara, but she doesn’t because she loves her too much. It’s a touching moment, especially for Juliette, who rarely shows emotion.
I also appreciate how you sometimes make giantesses feel small and tinies feel giant, and this segment does it brilliantly. Juliette feels powerless in this situation, she doesn’t know how to act or what to say, left waiting for something to happen. Meanwhile, Kassandra and especially Trevor handles it with calm and intelligence. The little chat between the three Juliette acting a bit childish, Kassandra mediating, and Trevor stuck in this awkward situation is delightful.
Trevor initially mistaking Clara for a child before learning the truth adds a humorous touch and highlights the absurdity of the Kingdom’s issues compared to the outside world one.
What makes this segment truly stand out is the conversation between Clara and Trevor. It’s exceptionally well-crafted, showing a deep understanding of the characters and introducing a more mental aspect to the virus. Up until now, the virus has mostly been depicted through physical size differences, but here you focus on its psychological impact. Starting with Clara’s fear of the future is a great choice, especially since she’s a character who seems to have little to fear. She lives in the Kingdom, the best place for tinies, and is loved by Juliette, an important figure in the estate.
The last time we saw a tiny express fear about the future was Rebecca, but her situation was more understandable, she’s unregistered, at risk of being captured, enslaved, or worse, living under Donnica’s roof who is not the biggest tiny fan and could crush her if she discovers her. Clara, however, is in an ideal position, which makes her fear even more poignant. It suggests a flaw in the Kingdom’s perfection—everything is so ideal it can feel unsettling.
The best part of this conversation is Trevor opening up. It’s masterfully done. Trevor usually hides behind jokes or cynicism, but here he drops the mask, sharing his fears and even revealing how he shrank, something I’ve been eager to learn more about, since the virus is the foundation of the story. The reason behind Juliette and Clara’s “fight” is also well-executed. It highlights how difficult communication can be even more between tiny and giantess. Juliette meant to comfort Clara, but Clara misinterpreted her words, showing their emotional disconnect.
A small detail I noticed is Clara correcting Trevor when he says “Juliette” instead of “Goddess Juliette.” It’s interesting because, despite her anger, Clara still refers to her as a goddess and expects others to do the same. Does this suggest that tinies in the Kingdom are conditioned to view her this way?
I also enjoyed Clara casually asking Trevor to have sex with her and Juliette and finding his refusal strange. It shows how normalized and natural sex is in the Kingdom, which adds to its unique culture.
Overall, this is an incredible segment with so many rich details. I love how it hints that Kassandra wants Trevor to join the Kingdom, perhaps even as her husband (if marriage exists there). This lighter segment is a refreshing contrast to the darker first segment, where we learned about the tinies trapped in the estate, destined to be test subjects for the imprint. What I loved most, though, is Trevor opening up about his past. Seeing this version of him—no jokes, no cynicism, just raw honesty about his fears—is incredibly well done and deepens his character even further.

Thank you for saying it was the highlight of the chapter! It
was my favorite to write (oh no, am I secretly becoming a gentle fan??) It was
so rewarding to finally peel back Juliette’s layers and also let readers see
more of how things work inside the Kingdom. And yes… there’s definitely more
time with Juliette ahead :)

I suppose it really depends on what you consider a
meaningless task… I’m sure the people of the Kingdom would say that pursuing
the arts (like Conner’s obsession with classic literature) or tending to
children and elders is deeply meaningful. But I can definitely see how an
outsider might see those roles as busywork, just another layer of the illusion
;)
"I also appreciate how you sometimes make giantesses

I love this take, that the giants feel small and the tinies
feel giant. Juliette does come across as vulnerable here, completely dependent
on the tinies around her despite her so-called “goddess” status. I think that’s
part of why I loved writing this segment so much… I enjoy showing the cracks,
those moments where the giantesses feel exposed and human, even fragile.
"What makes this segment truly stand out is the

Great insights here… that perfection itself can become
unsettling. I’ve always believed that, in terms of evolution, we’re wired to be
wary because our ancestors survived in precarious, dangerous times. That
suspicion clashes with modern safety, especially in a “perfect” world like the
Kingdom. Clara embodies that tension, surrounded by comfort, yet anxious about
getting out of bed.
And yes, the contrast with Rebecca is fascinating. Rebecca
has far more tangible threats but has endured and grown despite them, while
Clara (seemingly) crumbles under the weight of a world that should protect her.
That parallel makes them both pop in different ways.
"The best part of this conversation is Trevor

It was really satisfying to finally peel back a little on
Trevor, not just his backstory (which I’m thrilled you enjoyed getting a
glimpse of), but also his armor. He’s built up so much cynicism as a survival
tactic in this world of giants, so showing him vulnerable and connecting with
someone else through that was a huge moment.
And yes… even goddesses stumble over their words sometimes.
Communication breakdowns aren’t just mortal problems, and Juliette seems to
relearn that lesson over and over with her dramatic little Clara :D
"A small detail I noticed is Clara correcting Trevor
when he says “Juliette” instead of “Goddess Juliette.” It’s interesting
because, despite her anger, Clara still refers to her as a goddess and expects
others to do the same. Does this suggest that tinies in the Kingdom are
conditioned to view her this way?"
Great catch! Even in the middle of their fight, Clara is
still devoted to the Kingdom’s hierarchy. Whether that’s conditioning or a
deeply ingrained belief system is the kind of question that keeps the Kingdom
so layered… maybe it’s both.
"Overall, this is an incredible segment with so many

Now that’s a question: does marriage even exist in the
Kingdom? Maybe we’ll find out down the road…
I’m thrilled you’re enjoying how Helena’s estate is
unfolding… not just the Kingdom, but the imprint lab, the goddesses, and all
the threads running through it. Remember when I said this arc was going to dump
a ton of backstory about Helena and her people? Yeah… this is exactly what I
meant haha.
Amazing review as always, man. Your insights just keep
getting sharper, and I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to dig in
this deeply.

"You endure it." He simply said, then paused, searching for the shape of what he wanted to say. "You hope. Not for any reason. Not because things are going well or look good. You hope for hope's sake. Because when you do that, when you choose to trust that things might turn out okay, even without proof… there’s nothing you can’t survive."
Tell that to Chelsea! God, where's a rimshot when you really need one?
So I just finished reading S2, and I think this might be the segment that you mentioned before. Juliette's gentleness here, not even dreaming of touching Clara despite the fact that she could have torn that roof off and grabbed her with ease. Shit, she probably could have dug her hand into the ground and carried the whole cabin in one palm if she really wanted to.
Instead, Juliette waited for Clara to give the okay before swiping her up, even after the tiny was out in prime plucking territory. Given what we've seen from Juliette up to this point, it was particularly sweet and gratifying to see the "goddess" behave this way! The vulnerability Juliette had on display, not being able to hide it from Trevor despite clearly wanting to, was so endearing!
Clara clearly means the world Juliette, and we didn't even need to see them together to realize that. And when we finally did, it made the interaction they had adorable, deep, and meaningful. From Juliette hugging Clara against her neck to her pulling back and trying (and failing) to assume some semblance of divine authority by lightly chiding the tiny standing in her palm was all perfect! And Clara not even hesitating to call Juliette mean and stomping on that palm? My fucking heart melted to see Juliette barely hold her composure! This was so fucking good!
I've wanted to like Juliette for a while now. At first, she seemed like she was just one of "Helena's girls," although more composed and competent than the rest. I still remember that scene where she brought Trevor to Helena's office and set him on the floor, silently wondering if she should take a step forward and send him scurrying from her designer shoes (that was really fucking hot, by the way).
Then, in this arc, we discovered that she's devout to the ways of the Sisterhood (before we even knew what that was), and even when she demanded that Helena crush Trevor and be done with it, I didn't hold it against her. She's clearly not beholden to Helena, merely listening to her because of her status in the organization (in my opinion, at least). She seemed married to the traditions and methods of the Sisterhood, offended at first by Trevor's intrusion into their sacred world within the Kingdom. The respect and tender esteem she has for Kassandra when we saw them interact for the first time showed that she wasn't strictly the sizeist I thought she was at first.
Now finding out that she's seemingly in a relationship with a tiny pulls at my heartstrings. Clara talked about Juliette taking Trevor and her to fuck on "our" bed. Juliette was embarrassed to talk about their problems in front of Trevor, so she asked (notably not commanded) Clara if they could take the discussion to "our" room. Between the fact that they're sharing things (giant things, at that) and the worry and pain Juliette wore the entire time Clara was shunning her, not to mention Clara's prissy rather than simply revering attitude toward Juliette, it only stands to reason that the two of them view each other more as girlfriends than worshipper and worshipped. It's fun seeing this side of Juliette!
So yeah, when the giant's disdain for Trevor melted away and she smiled down on him with the same benevolence she reserves for the Kingdom's subjects, going so far as to thank him, I finally let me myself fully embrace my love for Juliette! I hope we get to see her view Trevor this way more now that he's shown that he's not the arrogant, disruptive tiny that she thought he was (he's arrogant and disruptive in totally different ways!!!). Seriously, though, it'd be awesome to see Juliette come around to the point where she's civil and maybe even friendly with him (and we get to see more of Clara and her!). It'd be a nice little mini-redemption arc of sorts.
Also, Juliette in love? I feel like there's a missed Shakespeare joke in there somewhere!
But let's talk about the talk. We got some slight background into Trevor's early days as a tiny while he opened himself up and let Clara in. As confident as he's been throughout the entire story (even after Penelope raped him, for fuck's sake!), it was both sad and a little bit of a relief in an odd way to hear about his struggles coping with the change. And he was truly alone in it, too, with it not happening in either the first or second waves. To find out that he lost everything just because he shrank, from his assets to his old friends, was heartbreaking, though. It also speaks to the strength of his character that he was able to persevere through all that, and said strength is something we've seen in him throughout the story so far.
And his message to Clara, that he was able to fight through all of the adversities of being tiny in a giant world with hope rather than caving in to his worries was such a great message. Even without a reason to feel hopeful, clinging to it really can get you through almost anything (Chelsea notwithstanding!). It's so much harder to do that than it sounds, though. I came away from this conversation with an even higher degree of respect for Trevor, who I already held in very high regard.
As for Clara herself, the first thing that stuck out to me was that it seems like she didn't shrink in the outside world. The way she spoke when she came out to comfort Trevor made it sound like it was an alien experience to her, one that filled her heart with sympathy for the poor man who had faced challenges she couldn't even imagine. Was she born tiny? Has the virus been around that long? Did she grow up in the Kingdom (and has that been around that long)?
Because it seems like Clara has no clue how things actually work out in the real world (sorry Kassandra, but the outside world is the real world). She's so sure that everyone out there has all their shit together that it seems pretty clear that she either shrank really young or has always been tiny. And her growing up in a utopia like the Kingdom would explain how just the generic thought of something bad happening could be enough to make Clara freak out like that. Not to mention her not realizing that Juliette (and giants in general) don't really worry over every tiny the way Juliette was for her.
So the implication here for me is that the Kingdom has probably been around for almost 30 years, which would seemingly punch a hole in my theory that Celine created it. Maybe it was a family project ...
We also saw the different sexual culture of the Kingdom show itself again. I love how casually Clara offered Trevor sex, and admittedly, them fucking on Juliette's body would have been extremely hot! Of course, I can't imagine Juliette would have been on board with it (no matter how much Clara pouted), both because of how she feels about Trevor and fear of what Donnica would do to her if she were to find out! But it was funny for her to note that Trevor was "weird" about sex because he was an outsider and miss his sarcasm about it because of how natural and correct it seemed to her.
And when she announced that she liked Trevor, not trying to hide her feelings the way everyone on the outside always does, even thanking him for looking out for them (I'm assuming Clara meant the people of the Kingdom, but she could have meant Juliette and herself here, too), it was so heartwarming. I've immediately become a huge Clara fan!
Man, Kassandra sure has a lot of faith in Trevor, doesn't she? It was so enduring that even Juliette had to trust it, even when she didn't trust him. But Kassandra just knew that Trevor could pull this off (not an easy feat, given Clara's personality).
Of course, it wasn't lost on me how she just so happened to get in some intimate physical contact when she was convincing him to give it a shot. That kind of behavior is going to get her squished under Donnica's soles one of these days if she's not careful! I wonder if she'll have a chance to figure out that Trevor was serious about being in a relationship with Donnica before Donnica herself comes down on poor Kassandra.
This was such a fun a segment! Again, I hope to see more of Juliette and Clara together, as well as how Juliette handles being around Trevor after this. Is he still going into the office, by the way? Thinking about these two possibly interacting there suddenly made me wonder if he was still going to work during this Status C situation (or if he's going to keep his job even after it's worked out).
Author's Response:
"Tell that to Chelsea! God, where's a rimshot when
you really need one?"
Yeah… and Marge, and Dolores, and that poor woman from the
cardboard town. Ok… so let’s just say if you’re tiny and you catch Donnica’s
ire, you might need more than hope :O

This is exactly the segment where your advice on writing
gentler scenes came into play. Originally I had pictured Juliette interacting
with Clara in a much harsher, more domineering way. But shifting to restraint (her
holding back despite her power) was what unlocked the scene for me. So yeah,
give yourself a writing credit on this one ;)

Another reader actually compared Juliette’s role to
Annabel’s… her presence next to Helena mirroring Annabel beside Donnica. She’s
always had that air of quiet power in the background, so it was rewarding to
finally peel back the curtain and show who she really is. And surprise, surprise:
inside all that composure, she’s a bit of a softy!
"Now finding out that she's seemingly in a
relationship with a tiny pulls at my heartstrings. Clara talked about Juliette
taking Trevor and her to fuck on "our" bed. Juliette was embarrassed
to talk about their problems in front of Trevor, so she asked (notably not
commanded) Clara if they could take the discussion to "our" room.
Between the fact that they're sharing things (giant things, at that) and the
worry and pain Juliette wore the entire time Clara was shunning her, not to
mention Clara's prissy rather than simply revering attitude toward Juliette, it
only stands to reason that the two of them view each other more as girlfriends
than worshipper and worshipped. It's fun seeing this side of Juliette!"
I love that you’re pointing this out… but it does make me
wonder about your earlier S1 review where you argued everyone in the Kingdom
was imprinted. Do you still hold to that after seeing this side of Juliette and
Clara?
"So yeah, when the giant's disdain for Trevor melted
away and she smiled down on him with the same benevolence she reserves for the
Kingdom's subjects, going so far as to thank him, I finally let me myself fully
embrace my love for Juliette! I hope we get to see her view Trevor this way
more now that he's shown that he's not the arrogant, disruptive tiny that she
thought he was (he's arrogant and disruptive in totally different ways!!!).
Seriously, though, it'd be awesome to see Juliette come around to the point
where she's civil and maybe even friendly with him (and we get to see more of
Clara and her!). It'd be a nice little mini-redemption arc of sorts."
Oh yes… Clara and Juliette will absolutely be featured going
forward. And we’ll definitely get to see how Juliette’s view of Trevor develops
both inside and outside of the Kingdom.
"Also, Juliette in love? I feel like there's a
missed Shakespeare joke in there somewhere!"
HA!
I suppose all the world’s a stage... right?
"But let's talk about the talk. We got some slight
background into Trevor's early days as a tiny while he opened himself up and
let Clara in. As confident as he's been throughout the entire story (even after
Penelope raped him, for fuck's sake!), it was both sad and a little bit of a
relief in an odd way to hear about his struggles coping with the change. And he
was truly alone in it, too, with it not happening in either the first or second
waves. To find out that he lost everything just because he shrank, from his
assets to his old friends, was heartbreaking, though. It also speaks to the
strength of his character that he was able to persevere through all that, and
said strength is something we've seen in him throughout the story so far."
I really love this insight! It turns out Juliette wasn’t the
only one vulnerable in this chapter… Trevor finally letting that guard down
gave us another layer of his character. I was glad to share some of his
backstory, even if it was briefly. A lot of stories either skip past backstory or dump it in as flat exposition, but I wanted
it to resonate emotionally, tied to Clara’s presence and her own story. I tried
to make this the right moment to give more insight into who Trevor is.
"We also saw the different sexual culture of the
Kingdom show itself again. I love how casually Clara offered Trevor sex, and
admittedly, them fucking on Juliette's body would have been extremely hot! Of
course, I can't imagine Juliette would have been on board with it (no matter
how much Clara pouted), both because of how she feels about Trevor and fear of
what Donnica would do to her if she were to find out! But it was funny for her
to note that Trevor was "weird" about sex because he was an outsider
and miss his sarcasm about it because of how natural and correct it seemed to
her."
Damn, that would’ve been a scorching scene :D
And yeah, I love highlighting the Kingdom’s sexual culture…the story is erotica, sure, but in the context of the Kingdom it also creates this strong sense of “otherness” that makes
the place feel alien compared to the outside world. I’m glad you noticed the
missed sarcasm too, I added that in a rewrite specifically to hammer home the point
and I loved that you noted it.
"And when she announced that she liked Trevor, not
trying to hide her feelings the way everyone on the outside always does, even
thanking him for looking out for them (I'm assuming Clara meant the people of
the Kingdom, but she could have meant Juliette and herself here, too), it was
so heartwarming. I've immediately become a huge Clara fan!"
I’m so glad Clara clicked for you… she’s got BIG (and chaotic) energy for
someone so small, and I had a blast writing her. Don’t worry, she’s not
finished stirring the pot yet, and I’m sure Juliette will have her hands full
keeping up with her.
"Of course, it wasn't lost on me how she just so
happened to get in some intimate physical contact when she was convincing him
to give it a shot. That kind of behavior is going to get her squished under
Donnica's soles one of these days if she's not careful! I wonder if she'll have
a chance to figure out that Trevor was serious about being in a relationship
with Donnica before Donnica herself comes down on poor Kassandra."
Kassandra really does seem very comfortable around
Trevor… both with him personally and with his abilities. And you’re right, it
raises the question of what Donnica would make of all this. We just might get
our answer soon…
"This was such a fun a segment! Again, I hope to see
more of Juliette and Clara together, as well as how Juliette handles being
around Trevor after this. Is he still going into the office, by the way?
Thinking about these two possibly interacting there suddenly made me wonder if
he was still going to work during this Status C situation (or if he's going to
keep his job even after it's worked out)."
This was definitely one of my favorite segments to write, I had such a blast with it. And yes, Trevor is still working during the Status-C transfer; he just has to stay on the estate during the interview windows. Which means sooner or later, we’ll be seeing him in the office with Helena and her girls…
(spoiler: it'll be sooner)

I know I’ve said this many times, but the work on this description is incredible. The attention to Donnica's outfits makes it easy to visualize her, showcasing the effort and money she invests in her appearance. The detail about her having two tiny marionettes at her feet, dealing with their smell and sweat, is particularly vivid and striking. What I also love about the start of this segment is the contrast in clothing between Vivara and Donnica. One is impeccably dressed, every detail pristine, while the other is, let’s say, more natural. This contrast is brilliantly executed—through their clothing alone, we see the differences between these two women without a single word. It’s a perfect example of show, don’t tell.
I also enjoy the small moment between Vivara and Donnica. Vivara’s vibrant energy, joy, and love for life stand in stark contrast to Donnica’s who is way colder even mean sometimes she is like a statue of ice, creating a compelling paradox between the two. Before diving deeper into this segment, I want to express how much I love Vivara, she’s fantastic. Characters who live so fully in their own worlds are always a joy. With the introduction of Vikki, Ricci, and now Vivara, these characters are already among my favorites in the story so much fun to share the journey inside the estate with this trio! They also provide a perfect contrast to the colder characters we’ve met so far, even though those characters have their moments too. I also enjoy the casual way Donnica’s tiny prisoners are discussed, as if keeping them at her feet is completely normal. Vivara’s excitement when talking about it adds such a great layer to the scene.
We also learn that Donnica works in the office of the Government Registration Subsidies Program. But despite her responsibilities, her mind is consumed by thoughts of Trevor. I love this detail. We also discover that Donnica is far from happy with the situation regarding Trevor, feeling "forced" to obey Helena, which clearly frustrates her. I suspect this tension will resurface later in the story.
Sadly for Donnica, she must currently follow Helena’s orders, as Helena legally owns Trevor and can do whatever she wants with him, even dispose of him permanently. I have a feeling Helena’s plans for Donnica will backfire, potentially leading to a war between these two formidable women.
We learn more about the estate.
It’s not just the kingdom that has tinies, there are also cells holding
countless tinies locked away. The dystopian world within Helena’s estate, with
her as the supreme leader, is absolutely captivating. The estate itself is a
fantastic setting, and I can’t wait to explore more of it and uncover the
secrets hidden within Helena’s domain.
Additionally, we learn about the two tinies trapped in Donnica’s shoes and a new method called "imprinting," which makes tinies submit without breaking them. This is why Donnica spent the week imprinting the tiny couple using her stinky and sweaty feet. I love this part it has a strong medieval vibe, with tinies offering their lives to the body part of their ruler, or even a godly submission to a higher being.
This concept of imprinting isn’t entirely new. Earlier in the story,
Rebecca mentioned being attracted to Amber, specifically her feet, it was because
she was imprinted with her even if at that time we didn’t know it was called
like that. This suggests the Cernovich women may have a natural ability to
imprint without training. I wonder if Amber will discover this and use it, and
what it means for her relationship with Rebecca.
I also enjoy the subtle critique of "breaking" tinies. It’s
amusing that Helena’s group and Annie’s are rivals, even in how they handle
tinies. While Annie is one of the best breakers, she’s up against the
sophisticated system Helena and her girls have built, where women from around
the world can learn to imprint at the estate. Annie, on the other hand, only
has a few assistants, including my favorite, Jasmine an amazing character the
author underutilizes (what a mean author) and her new student, Naomi.
Personally, I’m on Helena’s side here; imprinting seems far more effective than
breaking.
The highlight, though, is Vivara. She’s phenomenal. From the way she
removes Donnica’s shoes to smell the tiny couple, to complimenting Donnica’s
"stinky" feet, to boldly showing her own body to demonstrate how she
imprints her tinies—it’s priceless. I hope we see more of Vivara; she’s so fun
and always makes me smile.
This is an incredible first segment. We learn more about the estate and
Helena’s power, the concept of imprinting (which I suspect will be crucial
later), and Donnica’s growing frustration, which could quickly turn into anger
and rage. Given that Donnica doesn’t think clearly when she’s upset, it’ll be
fascinating to see what she does to challenge Helena. And, of course, Vivara, what an unforgettable character.

I LOVE that you picked up on that contrast… it was something
I worked hard to emphasize in their initial meeting. Donnica as the cold, razor-sharp
litigator, every inch curated and immaculate, set against Vivara, the earthy,
free-spirited priestess, all warmth and natural energy. That clash of styles
speaks volumes about who they are before either of them even opens their mouth.
And hearing you call out the “show, don’t tell” landing is always such a thrill
as a writer.

I’m so glad to hear Vivara is resonating! She’s an absolute
joy to write, and you’re right… she provides such a stark counterpoint to the
icier personalities we’ve spent so much time with so far in the story. It’s refreshing to bring in
lighter, almost whimsical tones without losing the dominance that defines these
women. And don’t worry, we’ll be seeing more of her as things unfold.
"We also learn that Donnica works in the office of

Small clarification: Donnica doesn’t work for the GRSP. Her
firm is actually spearheading a massive lawsuit against it.
And you’re right... Helena holding Trevor over her puts
Donnica in a deeply vulnerable position, one she resents bitterly. Watching how
that frustration builds and what she does with it will definitely be important
going forward.

Helena’s domain."
That’s exactly the reaction I was hoping for! I’ve been
aiming to frame the estate as equal parts heaven and hell, a gilded paradise
with a brutal underbelly. And you’re right… we’ve barely scratched the surface.
Plenty more secrets waiting to be uncovered ;)

Great questions… and you’re not the only one asking them!
The line between genuine love and imprinting is going to be such a rich space
to explore with Amber and Rebecca. How much of what they feel is authentic, and
how much is something deeper, more biological? And even if there is a lot of 'imprinting', does it still matter if it's love? So many juicy implications to
come!

I love this observation: the ideological clash between
imprinting and breaking is one of my favorite undercurrents. Annabel’s methods
are raw and brutal, Helena’s more biological and ritualized. Which is more
effective? We’ve seen imprinting yield almost divine devotion… but is that
universal, or is it unique to Donnica?
…and Jasmine, remind me, which character is that again? :D

Oh yes, Donnica can be downright volatile when Trevor’s
involved. Hopefully she’s more level-headed in the courtroom, but in Helena’s
world? That’s another story. And I’m so glad Vivara stuck with you… she’s been
a blast to bring to life, and she’ll definitely be back.
And I’ve got to say, your reviews keep getting better every
post. They’ve always been a joy, but lately the analysis has been razor-sharp.
I have such a great time reading through them…
Keep them coming!





Date: August 19 2025 5:47 AM Title: PART 32
The Sisterhood, huh? Well, it's no OTWSDKFSEBDD. but it'll do, I suppose.
And hey, fellowships! Connection to the OTWSKD ... er, I mean Sisterhood confirmed! Looks like Penelope has found her loophole to circle back into the story. Hm, I wonder what a sociopath like her might do in The Kingdom ...
But imprinting, though! It was nice to get that bit of worldbuilding in there. And, much like pretty much all of your recent chapters, this first segment has my brain going into overdrive!
So, with that said, here are my thoughts on bunch of stuff that didn't actually happen in this chapter!
First, as we were learning about imprinting right beside Donnica, my heart sank for Vikki and Ricci. Yeah, it now seems obvious that all of The Kingdom's inhabitants went through this unique brainwashing method (except maybe for Kassandra, but I'll get to that), as soon as Helena uttered the word "bought," I went right to the BFFs and their heartbreaking story.
The way they presented what happened to them, it seemed as though the Sisterhood had swooped in and saved them from their slavers after their own fucking families sold them (fuck that's still brutal). But now we more or less know that they were subject to more torment at the hands of these "goddesses," only this time, said torment led to them willingly subjugating themselves to their abusers, worshipping them like gods. We don't know if they got the feet, ass, or pussy treatment, but picturing those two happy-go-lucky besties, after everything else they went through, having to suffer inside a shoe, asshole, or vagina is ho ... sad! It's really sad!
But no, seriously, it is heartbreaking to think about.
My second takeaway (and probably the one I should have led with, but come one; those poor girls!) is that I think imprinting might just be a two-way street. Donnica felt a change after she saw those two tinies show her true reverence. Helena, who is notorious for not giving a shit about tinies and even enjoying killing them, sure does seem to have soft spots for Kassandra, Ricci, and Vikki, the only three Kingdom subjects we've seen her have a serious interaction with. And then was have Juliette and Vivara, who both seem to feel something very real for the tiny subjects that, in turn, love and worship them.
Now, I think this could simply be written off as these women getting off on the high of being truly treated as deities, and yeah, I could see that. But then I think back to Amber and Rebecca.
We've talked about this before, but this chapter removes whatever doubt that was left about Rebecca being imprinted by Amber. I think it's debatable about how their relationship affected that imprinting (although they certainly didn't like each other when the process first started), but yeah, Rebecca spent *a lot* of time with Amber's feet in those early days together, and that clearly has had an effect on Rebecca (as Amber's feet can attest).
But we've also seen Amber acting strange because of this "primal" feeling that Rebecca feels as well sometimes. We saw this kind of culminate in their fight about Naomi, where Amber lamented over doing mean things to Rebecca sometimes and not understanding why.
So I don't think we know enough to understand exactly how imprinting is affecting normal-sized people, but I think we've seen enough odd behavior from the giantesses of this story to reasonably conclude that they are being altered in some way as well.
And while we're on Rebecca and Amber, holy shit could this have some huge implications for them! Their arc has been so rewarding because it felt truly earned. These two fell for each other despite their hostile beginnings and abusive treatment of each other early on. But now this kind of calls everything into question a little bit, right?
How much of their love is real? I don't think it's fair to say that it's all because of imprinting, because, even when they were battling each other every day, they had a lot of things in common, little hints that they would really like each other if they could just get past their had exteriors. And their talk about Amber's abuse, the big turning point, that wasn't devotion or love on Rebecca's part; it was empathy and a need to help women who've suffered the way Amber and her have. We've seen that from Rebecca multiple times at this point.
But their romance has been clouded by this master/slave dynamic. At first, I thought it was just a way to express their inner domme and sub for Amber and Rebecca, respectively. But then we saw it bleed out into nonsexual interactions for quite some time, and even though that has been dialed back, the master/sub stuff is still a big part of their expression of love for each other, as we saw when last we left them.
So now I'm left wondering, if the could suddenly be uninprinted, would they still love each other? Or, maybe I more important question would be whether or not they'd want to if they had the choice. Because love is a really weird thing. Would it even matter if imprinting is the only reason they're together (note the if, I'm not saying that's the case ... yet)? Would that make the happiness they feel any less real?
And if you're okay with that, then what's the difference between that and what the Sisterhood is doing to all those "subjects"?
And, just to throw a huge monkey wrench into this, we've got Scarlett. Scarlett clearly has not imprinted Rebecca. But Rebecca is clearly attracted to Scarlett both sexually and just as a person. She's denying that feeling to an extent, feeling loyal to Amber, but it's obviously there. And, as we saw when last we left them, Scarlett is head-over-heels for Rebecca. And not in that dopey, puppy-love kind of way that Rebecca wants to dismiss. No, that love is clearly real; it's based on who Rebecca is as a human being (and her being tiny, which is a huge turn-on for the giant redhead).
So now, in the midst of this potential love triangle, we're finding out that imprinting can make a tiny be devoted to a giant. Without even losing their personality (yeah, yeah, I was wrong about that; you got me). So you wouldn't even know if you weren't looking for it. But we know. And suddenly we're faced with bad ass fan-favorite Rebecca inching toward a possible choice between the woman she may or may not have been inadvertently forced to love (and possibly vice versa) or the one who she shares legitimate, unquestioned feelings for.
Damn, that arc just got a lot more interesting!
Back to the larger imprinting angle, though. Trevor came up in this discussion, and he's certainly an interesting case. He's pushed back against Donnica a lot, but he does revere her in his own way. Then you have the time he left her office after the "chair incident." He left, and it was a huge sign of respect that Donnica let him leave, but both of them immediately regretted that she didn't pluck him off that walkway when she had the chance. For Donnica, this makes total sense. For Trevor, to want her to stop him, something more complex is going on there. Is that because of partial imprinting? I don't know, maybe? Why are you asking me?
Then there was that first major confrontation with Helena, when Trevor stared her down one-on-one. There was a point in that conversation where Helena almost overpowered him, when Trevor felt that same "primal" force that we kept reading about with Amber and Rebecca by that point. That seems to be imprinting. So Trevor felt it, but he overpowered it by thinking of Annabel, who clearly hadn't imprinted him. So what does that mean? Is Trevor's force of will just that strong? Was Helena's hold on him weak because it was Donnica who partially imprinted him (assuming that's the case)? Does he just care about Annabel that much that it overcame whatever imprinting he may or may not have received?
And another question, since I'm in the asking mood. Vivara said relationships can affect imprinting. So does that mean, despite all that talk about wantting to own Trevor and cursing his independent streak, that, deep down, Donnica has always wanted Trevor to be that way? Like some part of her realized that was what she was attracted to? If so, that would mean that Donnica will never give in to the Sisterhood (although she might steal their shit!). Trevor is everything they believe a tiny shouldn't be, and I as much as Donnica might agree when it comes to every other tiny, she'll never feel that way about Trevor.
But now there are even more questions. It seems as though the test Helena wanted to put Donnica through was this imprinting experiment and that being able to imprint is a really big deal. So what does the Sisterhood want to do with it? Are they really just trying to convert as many tinies as possible? That doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Think back to trash town. There were a shit ton of tinies right there, and Helena could have easily taken as many as she wanted for imprinting. But she didn't. Donnica and she casually crushed a bunch of them and left the rest there to deal with the aftermath, save one defiant girl she picked up on a whim (we'll get back to her in a second).
No, instead, the Sisterhood is buying them. So they're passing up on free ones and paying money for ... what, exactly? Kassandra, Vikki, Ricci, and the other we've met so far mostly seem to have certain skills. I still think that could be a factor here. Maybe they're trying to convert a certain type of tiny that can help with some larger plan that's not yet apparent.
Or maybe they just didn't have room for the trash town tinies? This court case to destroy the government insurance program (way to slip in that this is going on in the background, by the way) sure would leave a lot of tinies vulnerable to being taken. I still think that has something to do with Helena allegedly wanting to expand The Kingdom (although I'm still skeptical about her real intentions there).
And back to ass girl. It's interesting that Helena turned her over to Donnica. Wasn't she imprinting that girl in her own ass? What happened? And for that matter, why isn't Celine imprinted? Maybe Helena wants Celine to worship her (and I mean legit worship, not at the barrel of a gun/sister) and refuses to just take the easy road with her rival.
Or maybe Helena can't imprint.
I mean, come on. I can't see Helena passing up an opportunity to be revered by her most hated rival, the one who's still mocking her at an inch tall. Not to mention that Celine being devoted to her would make this whole Seed Code problem a lot easier to solve for Helena. So I'm thinking that Helena is a sovereign who needs others to give her subjects. Shit, maybe that's what she needs Donnica for.
I could easily be wrong on this, but Helena lacking "the gift" fits with what we know so far.
Speaking of a subject converter, seeing Vivara on the outside was so intriguing! I didn't expect her to be so ... positive-energy, give-everything-to-the-universe. In some ways, she was just as bubbly and sweet in the real world as she was in The Kingdom. And even with the abusive side of things, she really seems to believe that this is the way.
And I didn't expect her to more or less be a servant to Helena. I get that Helena is a "goddess' in their organization (and she showed Donnica that same respect), but Vivara, at least so far, acts very differently around Helena than Juliette does. Juliette ultimately acknowledges that Helena calls the shots, but she's not afraid to challenge the goddess. And Helena is careful with what she says back to Juliette, too. I still feel like there are higher levels to this organization and that Juliette is there to keep an eye on Helena or something. Helena is in charge, but Juliette is dangerous to her. Vivara is not, from the look of it.
Oh, and cool misdirect in making it seem as though Donnica had already seen The Kingdom. We didn't even know that "storage" room existed, so there was no way to know that this was the side of the operation she had seen before. It makes sense, though. All those tinies in cages would put Helena in deep shit with the government if it were discovered.
And in case there was any doubt that Donnica hadn't seen The Kingdom yet, her being uncharacteristically rattled and enthralled at the end of the segment is a dead giveaway that this is her first time.
By the way, awesome job on showing Donnica being on her heels throughout the segment. We're used to seeing her either in charge or depressed because of something involving Trevor or Amber. This was a side of her we haven't seen a lot of, even if she did a great job of keeping up appearances. From her feeling as though kind offers are actually hidden demands to her being annoyed that she was the one in the room not in on a secret, her annoyance and aggravation shine throughout the segment.
Also, it's good to know that, despite being more friendly with Helena and company, Donnica isn't actually warming to them at all. She's interested in what they're doing and wants the love of her life back, but she still hates these people. I love that!
By the way, by the way, while your descriptions are always amazing, I felt like you detailing Donnica at the start of the segment took it to another level. It wasn't added details or anything like that, but the word choices and the flow of the prose made her feel even more powerful than usual. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was, but she really popped right at the start!
And when she examined ass girl, not with disdain or sadistic pleasure, but with indifference, like she was an object, was so fucking perfect! She couldn't remember how to relate to something so small! Brilliant line!
But yeah, I'm a little late to the party, but S1 was a great lead-in to the chapter and already has my head spinning! Fantastic work as always!

Interesting point! I do wonder how much of this is pure
psychology (an innate god-complex in women drawn to this life) or if there’s
something more biological beneath it. Either way, I agree: there’s a genuine
affection that flows back from giantess to tiny, a bond that feels real even
within all the domination. Exploring just how deep that connection runs will
definitely be fun in the chapters ahead.
"We've talked about this before, but this chapter

Ah yes, we can’t have an imprinting discussion without
bringing up Rebecca and Amber! It’s been hiding in plain sight for a while now.
Rebecca herself even referenced studies about tinies forming attachments to
giants… but if we think back to Chapter 17, the science she quoted suggested
there needed to be some preexisting link between the pair. Helena and Vivara,
though, seem to imply it can happen with most tinies depending on the giantess.
What exactly is going on? Hard to say… but it will be fun to explore as we move forward!
"And while we're on Rebecca and Amber, holy shit
could this have some huge implications for them! Their arc has been so
rewarding because it felt truly earned. These two fell for each other despite
their hostile beginnings and abusive treatment of each other early on. But now
this kind of calls everything into question a little bit, right?"
Absolutely… it does raise questions. But as you note, the
groundwork for a real relationship was there from the start, even in those
early ugly days. So the question becomes: how much of their love is genuine,
and how much is biological programming? Then again, isn’t all love just our
brains firing off chemicals to make us feel bonded? Maybe the line is blurrier
than it seems.
"So now I'm left wondering, if the could suddenly be
uninprinted, would they still love each other? Or, maybe I more important
question would be whether or not they'd want to if they had the choice. Because
love is a really weird thing. Would it even matter if imprinting is the only
reason they're together (note the if, I'm not saying that's the case ... yet)?
Would that make the happiness they feel any less real?"
Exactly! That’s the heart of it. If love is real to the
people feeling it, does it matter if it was born from biology, dominance, or
sheer accident? Would Amber and Rebecca’s happiness be less valid if imprinting
played a role? That’s such a juicy question, and one I love readers pondering
over.
"So now, in the midst of this potential love
triangle, we're finding out that imprinting can make a tiny be devoted to a
giant. Without even losing their personality (yeah, yeah, I was wrong about
that; you got me). So you wouldn't even know if you weren't looking for it. But
we know. And suddenly we're faced with bad ass fan-favorite Rebecca inching
toward a possible choice between the woman she may or may not have been
inadvertently forced to love (and possibly vice versa) or the one who she shares
legitimate, unquestioned feelings for."
I absolutely love how the science and philosophy of
imprinting are bleeding straight into the Amber/Rebecca arc. That was by design,
what’s being uncovered in Donnica’s world adds tension and speculation to
Amber’s world, without ever needing to explicitly connect. Theories about
Scarlett, Rebecca, and Amber have been fun to read, and you can bet
those dynamics will keep coming into play… though maybe not in the way you
expect.
"Back to the larger imprinting angle, though. Trevor
came up in this discussion, and he's certainly an interesting case. He's pushed
back against Donnica a lot, but he does revere her in his own way. Then you
have the time he left her office after the "chair incident." He left,
and it was a huge sign of respect that Donnica let him leave, but both of them
immediately regretted that she didn't pluck him off that walkway when she had
the chance. For Donnica, this makes total sense. For Trevor, to want her to stop
him, something more complex is going on there. Is that because of partial
imprinting? I don't know, maybe? Why are you asking me?"
Great catch… and definitely worth mulling over. Trevor’s
contradiction has always been at the center: he loves powerful, dominating
women, but clings fiercely to independence. Still, even for him, the longing to
be stopped and owned feels like it runs deeper than his usual kink. Is that his
true self, or something else working on him? Hard to say.
"Then there was that first major confrontation with
Helena, when Trevor stared her down one-on-one. There was a point in that
conversation where Helena almost overpowered him, when Trevor felt that same
"primal" force that we kept reading about with Amber and Rebecca by
that point. That seems to be imprinting. So Trevor felt it, but he overpowered
it by thinking of Annabel, who clearly hadn't imprinted him. So what does that
mean? Is Trevor's force of will just that strong? Was Helena's hold on him weak
because it was Donnica who partially imprinted him (assuming that's the case)?
Does he just care about Annabel that much that it overcame whatever imprinting
he may or may not have received?"
Interesting speculation, but I don’t think Trevor was in the
chair long enough for a true imprint to take root. Vivara emphasized that
imprinting requires prolonged, uninterrupted exposure. That said, partial
imprinting is an open question, so you might be onto something there!
"But now there are even more questions. It seems as
though the test Helena wanted to put Donnica through was this imprinting
experiment and that being able to imprint is a really big deal. So what does
the Sisterhood want to do with it? Are they really just trying to convert as
many tinies as possible? That doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Think back to trash
town. There were a shit ton of tinies right there, and Helena could have easily
taken as many as she wanted for imprinting. But she didn't. Donnica and she
casually crushed a bunch of them and left the rest there to deal with the
aftermath, save one defiant girl she picked up on a whim (we'll get back to her
in a second)."
Yeah, I think we can rule out “mass conversion.” Helena made
it clear she could source tinies whenever she wanted… she even leveraged her
contacts to acquire access to cardboard town. If all she cared about was
volume, she wouldn’t have walked away. Imprinting clearly serves a more
specific purpose.
"No, instead, the Sisterhood is buying them. So
they're passing up on free ones and paying money for ... what, exactly?
Kassandra, Vikki, Ricci, and the other we've met so far mostly seem to have
certain skills. I still think that could be a factor here. Maybe they're trying
to convert a certain type of tiny that can help with some larger plan that's
not yet apparent."
I mean… yeah, we know for sure they purchased Vikki and
Ricci. But what about the rest? Did they actually buy most of the others, or
only a select few? It makes sense that talents like Vikki and Ricci would be
worth acquiring (they’re geniuses, after all) but Trevor has seen entire
communities and families thriving inside the Kingdom. Surely not all of them
could be that exceptional… could they?
"Speaking of a subject converter, seeing Vivara on
the outside was so intriguing! I didn't expect her to be so ...
positive-energy, give-everything-to-the-universe. In some ways, she was just as
bubbly and sweet in the real world as she was in The Kingdom. And even with the
abusive side of things, she really seems to believe that this is the way."
Vivara was such fun to bring outside the Kingdom. Even
Helena seemed a little taken aback at her whole “sensory medium” vibe. And yeah…
her sweetness doesn’t erase her cruelty (not entirely, anyways) but it makes
her feel all the more distinct. More of that contrast will definitely be
showing up as the story goes on as we see more giantess associated with the
kingdom.
"Oh, and cool misdirect in making it seem as though
Donnica had already seen The Kingdom. We didn't even know that
"storage" room existed, so there was no way to know that this was the
side of the operation she had seen before. It makes sense, though. All those
tinies in cages would put Helena in deep shit with the government if it were
discovered."
I’m so glad you noticed! That twist actually came about during
the drafting process. At first, I had Donnica seeing the Kingdom right after
the cardboard town, but then I realized she would’ve immediately told Trevor (which Trevor would have reflected on during his time in the Kingdom!) Their relationship is way too open for her to keep that secret... and also her disdain
for Helena. So I had to ask myself:
what did Helena really show her back then? And from that question, the whole
“storage” concept clicked into place… which of course opened up other plot
points that I’d been wanting to incorporate, like imprinting!
Sometimes the plot just falls together like puzzle pieces.
"By the way, awesome job on showing Donnica being on
her heels throughout the segment. We're used to seeing her either in charge or
depressed because of something involving Trevor or Amber. This was a side of
her we haven't seen a lot of, even if she did a great job of keeping up
appearances. From her feeling as though kind offers are actually hidden demands
to her being annoyed that she was the one in the room not in on a secret, her
annoyance and aggravation shine throughout the segment."
I really wanted to highlight that side of her here.
Donnica’s pride means she’ll never show weakness openly, but those moments of
private vulnerability give her so much texture. I’m glad they resonated.
"By the way, by the way, while your descriptions are
always amazing, I felt like you detailing Donnica at the start of the segment
took it to another level. It wasn't added details or anything like that, but
the word choices and the flow of the prose made her feel even more powerful
than usual. I can't pinpoint exactly what it was, but she really popped right
at the start!"
I’m thrilled that landed. My favorite part of that opening
description was the line about Donnica still looking like the most expensive
thing in sight, even surrounded by old-money decadence. It just felt like the
perfect way to reestablish her presence.
"But yeah, I'm a little late to the party, but S1
was a great lead-in to the chapter and already has my head spinning! Fantastic
work as always!"
Thanks, man! I always aim to open with a bang, and I’m glad
it hit the way I hoped. But now it’s time to dive back into the Kingdom and see
what’s going on with Trevor…





Date: August 16 2025 2:40 AM Title: PART 32
Well shit it seems Helena is slowly bringing Domica down a few pegs lowkey or more to her side with these little tasks. Not that watching her use her divine feet to break those tinies souls was not truly wonderful to behold, just seems Helena is getting something out of this arrangement after all.
Domica showing an interest in all this does peak ones interest in the fact that if she were to come along with the whole Kingdom thing those two definitely would be unstoppable. There very well could be a power struggle later on given the personalities but a true power duo if they managed to get along long enough to harness it.
The Implanting vs Breaking thing does seem to be an interesting clash of values down the road, especially if Anna and her new protege Naomi come knocking one day down the road.
---
We finally get to see a break in the tough veneer of Juliette and all over a tiny at that, Clara must have really gotten through her tough exterior to warrant such a mass call to action from everyone including an outsider no less.
Little by little Trevor seems to be endearing himself to the Kingdom through his kindness and willingness to help even if the scenario is a little whacky compared to his belief system. Not sure if him and Domica are warming up to Helena and her ways yet but it does kind of seem they are a little.
Kass is very important to the way things go in the Kingdom even if it is a delusion of grandeur she still is the person on the ground dealing with issues when the Goddesses are away. Her importance even if she won't say it is likely MORE so though that of her deities given how closely she works with everyone.
---
Kass and Trevor really seem to be hitting it off more ways than one which likely will set Domica off in the future especially if Trevor keeps antagonizing her like he seems set on doing.
The more she see of the Kingdom, the more Domica seems to be getting hooked on its charms and whimsy, I am not sure if Helena had this planned or not but it looks like she has made a powerful ally after all as long as she plays her cards right the next for weeks.
I do now wonder what Becca would think of Kass hanging around Trevor given her pension for worshiping the likes of Helena and even possibly Domica soon enough and Becca's stance of standing up for tiny rights even if their living in a perennial paradise.
---
There is the Domica I know and fear!
I'm shocked it took -this- long for her to try and make a run at the Kingdom. Helena lead her right into it without a second thought and now the virus has been uploaded and it may cost her the very thing she built so lovingly.
The woman in Domica's ass might not be the only one meeting their end end if she has her way of The Kingdom one day soon. Something tells me her style of civilization for the wee folk is a bit differently from Helena's.
Though seeing Kass try to speak of whimsical peace and understanding and unity etc whilst elbow deep digging the crud from between Amber's monster toes would be quite the counter culture shock for her...not to mention poot Carla who freaked out over something bad happening which may be right on her tiny doorstep.
---
When the five girls first walked in I truly expected the worst for Scarlett and especially Becca but it seems for now all is well. Honestly when they approached them at the park I still expected them to be bullying a tiny or two or something similar.
Becca has been wonderful or Scarlett but the love triangle brewing leaves me wondering how all this plays out especially if Amber ever catches on. I'm still expecting a love triangle when it all comes to pass though.
---
Having read "To Break In A Pet" and "MAJOR/minor" before the imprinting aspect has been on the table for many years. I could easily seeing somebody like Domica/Helena or a number of others taking great advantage of it to benefit their whims or even amusement.
Helena knows what Domica is capable of and now having been exposed to The Kingdom it seems Domica does now too thus the shoes are off as they say.
Clara seems like tiny gal one would come across on Discord or the old days of Sizechange/MIRC whathaveyou, playfully bratty with a hinge of drama mixed in to keep the bigger folks on their toes.
Gentle floats a lot of boats just like everything else does in this community, there are a lot of different cooks and spices to be had so if it didn't hit for one it definitely did for another.
1. Trevor having the Domica plot armor does allow him to get away with more backtalk than typical tiny could. He should be a little more careful just in case Domica takes a liking to a Kingdom member and their unquestioned/unrelenting style of worship.
2. Fair, she saw him coming out of a tiny cabin with another woman thus he receptors had to be a little pointy after that.
3. Kass is wonderful, she is like if Becca wasn't broken down by The Amber Assault to get where she is now. She didn't need the teen toejam to get her to where she was just humble devotion, acceptance and a good spirit to accept her lot and roll with it.
As for Domica in the Kingdom it was long overdue, Helena unleashed a lioness she may never be able to put back in the cage when she comes for her neck. It actually makes me wonder how others like Amber/Scarlett, Naomi, Penelope etc would react to encountering such a place.
The Rejection Therapy worked fine for what it needed to be, Becca is a tiny therapist helping mighty soccer goddesses overcome their inner demons and grow as humans thus it fit her character to try and help her anyway she could.
As I stated above The Love Triangle aspect for the Soccer Sisters still seems like the most logical and oddly expected choice. They've all been wonderful for each other so you hope it works out for them all.

"Well shit it seems Helena is slowly bringing Domica

Oh, Helena is absolutely hoping to get something out of it… she
wouldn’t go to such lengths courting Donnica otherwise. Every little task
is a thread she’s weaving into her larger plan... or so it seems...
"The Implanting vs Breaking thing does seem to be an
interesting clash of values down the road, especially if Anna and her new
protege Naomi come knocking one day down the road."
I love that you bring up Breaking here! And yeah, we
definitely haven’t seen the last of Annabel and Naomi. That team-up still has
plenty to show (and say!) and we may even be checking in on them sooner than later.
"We finally get to see a break in the tough veneer
of Juliette and all over a tiny at that, Clara must have really gotten through
her tough exterior to warrant such a mass call to action from everyone
including an outsider no less."
I loved peeling back Juliette’s armor for this moment, showing her as vulnerable.
There’s something so endearing about her being smitten with a tiny who’s her
polar opposite; Juliette cold and stoic, Clara bursting with emotion and whims.
That clash makes their dynamic pop.
"Little by little Trevor seems to be endearing
himself to the Kingdom through his kindness and willingness to help even if the
scenario is a little whacky compared to his belief system. Not sure if him and
Domica are warming up to Helena and her ways yet but it does kind of seem they
are a little."
Great point! Trevor’s warmth does seem to be earning him
some good will in the Kingdom, both with subjects and rulers alike. As for
Donnica… I wouldn’t say she’s warming up just yet, but Trevor? Maybe. Then
again, he’s usually pretty chill haha
"Kass is very important to the way things go in the
Kingdom even if it is a delusion of grandeur she still is the person on the
ground dealing with issues when the Goddesses are away. Her importance even if
she won't say it is likely MORE so though that of her deities given how closely
she works with everyone."
Kassandra is such a fascinating character to write for
exactly that reason. She’s deferential to her giantesses, but she has this
undeniable pull of her own over the workings of the Kingdom. I’m glad that
dynamic comes through… it’s one of my favorites to currently write.
"Kass and Trevor really seem to be hitting it off
more ways than one which likely will set Domica off in the future especially if
Trevor keeps antagonizing her like he seems set on doing."
Yeah, Trevor has a habit of bristling at Donnica’s
dominance, though he also seems to crave it sometimes. He’s a tough one to pin
down… constantly contradicting himself, and that makes him fun to write.
"I do now wonder what Becca would think of Kass
hanging around Trevor given her pension for worshiping the likes of Helena and
even possibly Domica soon enough and Becca's stance of standing up for tiny
rights even if their living in a perennial paradise."
Rebecca and Kassandra clashing… now that would be an
interesting scene to explore! We've got so many storylines and characters in
motion right now, and I can’t wait to see how they start colliding.
"The woman in Domica's ass might not be the only one
meeting their end end if she has her way of The Kingdom one day soon. Something
tells me her style of civilization for the wee folk is a bit differently from
Helena's."
That’s a juicy take! Donnica’s style of rulership could very
well end up diverging from Helena’s… if she ever takes power let’s hope it
doesn’t turn out too different, for the sake of the tinies.
"Though seeing Kass try to speak of whimsical peace
and understanding and unity etc whilst elbow deep digging the crud from between
Amber's monster toes would be quite the counter culture shock for her...not to
mention poot Carla who freaked out over something bad happening which may be
right on her tiny doorstep."
Oh yes, life under those feet might be a very different
experience indeed, haha.
"When the five girls first walked in I truly
expected the worst for Scarlett and especially Becca but it seems for now all
is well. Honestly when they approached them at the park I still expected them
to be bullying a tiny or two or something similar."
Yeah, probably smart to stay on your toes when reading this
story. That said, these five girls do seem more invested in soccer… at least
for now.
"Becca has been wonderful or Scarlett but the love
triangle brewing leaves me wondering how all this plays out especially if Amber
ever catches on. I'm still expecting a love triangle when it all comes to pass
though."
Ah yes, Amber hasn’t put the pieces together yet. That
reveal is definitely going to be a moment of truth. In the meantime, I agree… Rebecca
has been wonderful for Scarlett, and the redhead knows it.
"Having read 'To Break In A Pet' and 'MAJOR/minor'
before the imprinting aspect has been on the table for many years. I could
easily seeing somebody like Domica/Helena or a number of others taking great
advantage of it to benefit their whims or even amusement."
Damn, I’ve gotta check those stories out!
"Clara seems like tiny gal one would come across on
Discord or the old days of Sizechange/MIRC whathaveyou, playfully bratty with a
hinge of drama mixed in to keep the bigger folks on their toes."
Exactly… I pictured her like an over-the-top stage diva when
writing her. All eyeliner, dramatics, and locking herself in her “dressing
room.” Theatrical to the core.
"Gentle floats a lot of boats just like everything
else does in this community, there are a lot of different cooks and spices to
be had so if it didn't hit for one it definitely did for another."
Thanks for saying that! While I lean toward the crueler
side, I’ve really enjoyed weaving in gentler scenes. I also think they make the
cruel moments hit harder.
"1. Trevor having the Domica plot armor does allow
him to get away with more backtalk than typical tiny could. He should be a
little more careful just in case Domica takes a liking to a Kingdom member and
their unquestioned/unrelenting style of worship."
Trevor definitely enjoys her favor. Another reviewer noted
that in their relationship, it’s Donnica who leans on him more, which I think
nails the heart of their dynamic. She’s a goddess, a force of nature, but she
still owes so much to her tiny partner.
"3. Kass is wonderful, she is like if Becca wasn't
broken down by The Amber Assault to get where she is now. She didn't need the
teen toejam to get her to where she was just humble devotion, acceptance and a
good spirit to accept her lot and roll with it."
Love this take! There really are some strong parallels
between them, and you nailed it… what sets them apart is the way their paths
diverged. Rebecca was shaped by Amber’s dominance and all the hardship that
came with it (and before it) while Kassandra arrived at her own place through simple devotion
and acceptance. That contrast is so much fun to think about.
"As for Domica in the Kingdom it was long overdue,
Helena unleashed a lioness she may never be able to put back in the cage when
she comes for her neck. It actually makes me wonder how others like
Amber/Scarlett, Naomi, Penelope etc would react to encountering such a
place."
Yes… that’s one of the threads I’m most excited about.
Seeing how other characters will interact with the Kingdom once they cross
paths with it. And Donnica? She seems more committed than ever to diving
deeper.
"The Rejection Therapy worked fine for what it
needed to be, Becca is a tiny therapist helping mighty soccer goddesses
overcome their inner demons and grow as humans thus it fit her character to try
and help her anyway she could.
As I stated above The Love Triangle aspect for the Soccer
Sisters still seems like the most logical and oddly expected choice. They've
all been wonderful for each other so you hope it works out for them all."
Thanks! I love that description of Rebecca as a tiny
therapist… badass and tender all at once. And “Soccer Sisters”? Love that name!
As for how their triangle unfolds, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
Thanks as always for the insights man! Hope you’re having a
great summer!

another crazychapter. and so long! awesome!
Author's Response:
Crazy chapters are kind of my thing! So it’s amazing to hear that you’re enjoying the wild ride. And thank you for saying that about the chapter length... I’m always second-guessing if they’re too long, so that’s seriously reassuring.





Date: August 12 2025 12:24 AM Title: PART 32
Wow this chapter was amazing and the introduction to imprinting is hella cool and damn rip to little girl dying in ass ….. she went out on a high note at least
i love that Trevor still has some fight left in him to stand up for himself
can’t wait for more
Author's Response:
If you’re gonna go out, there’s no better way than up Donnica’s magnificent ass!
Imprinting’s been simmering under the surface for a while, so it’s exciting to finally let it breathe and start building it out as a real story engine.
And Trevor? He doesn’t back down from Donnica... well, until she turns around, bends over and shows him her ass. Then, yeah, it's game over for him lol
More to come ;)

Amazing chapter as always can't wait to review all the part
Author's Response:
Awesome! Can’t wait to hear what you think once you dive in :D
Date: August 11 2025 10:33 PM Title: PART 32
Great chapter.
Also did Donnica kill the girl she was imprinting? If so would this affect her role with Helena?
Also I think Vivara is my favorite character
Author's Response:
Donnica absolutely crushed her with that mighty asshole of hers! As for how it might shake things up with Helena... well, you’ll just have to keep reading and find out ;)
Vivara's been such a blast to write, I'm so glad you're enjoying her! She’s definitely not done yet.





Date: August 10 2025 8:50 PM Title: PART 31
A little comment just to say how perfect the chapter since the break has been. Don’t get me wrong, the entire story is amazing, just since the comeback it’s really become even better the works on the world building the character, also the descriptions especially in chapter 31 with the kingdom are pristine.Also, all the new characters are incredible from the clumsy Scarlett, the glitter duo, the mean Natasha. The dumb Peneloppe all of them bring something interesting to the story and they are different from the previous character. But there is still a huge issue where is Jasmine?
So, thank you so much to brink us that level of quality with every chapter and I will continue to support you for a long time. But please bring Jasmine back
Author's Response:
HA!
How did I already know who’d be the one to drop review number 200? :)
Thank you so much for the kind words... since chapter 27 the story has really blown wide open, with a bigger plot and an even bigger cast. It’s definitely taking more out of me to juggle it all, but I’m genuinely excited to show everyone where it’s headed.
"But there is still a huge issue where is Jasmine?
So, thank you so much to brink us that level of quality with every chapter and I will continue to support you for a long time. But please bring Jasmine back"
...Jasmine? Who’s Jasmine??? Is that some obscure background character from way back? Because I’m drawing a total blank here :D :D :D
(thanks for all the support bro... I love that you were #200)





Date: August 10 2025 8:47 PM Title: PART 31
The last segment of this amazing chapter focuses not on Trevor but on someone much larger: Helena. As the true Queen she is, she requires a fitting place, and nothing is better than her own throne inside the kingdom. As a goddess, she demands worship, with many tinies adoring her perfect feet. All I can say is how much I love this image.
However, it reveals even more clearly that the kingdom is nothing more than a sect, led by a beautiful guru but a sect nonetheless. Kassandra shares Helena’s view: giantesses are goddesses, and tinies are mere worshippers. This notion is perfectly understood by all those living in the Kingdom. I can’t help but wonder how it’s achieved.
Helena harbors another secret: a tiny from the cupboard town, captured with Donnica, now hidden inside her ass, tortured simply for not looking at Helena properly. This act alone reveals the world Helena desires a world where tinies are conditioned to see themselves as worshippers of the goddess. This is why Celine, and likely Trevor too, are such a pain in the ass for Helena. They are tinies who refuse to bow down, who are brave enough to challenge her, and, in Trevor’s case, even threaten her. These are tinies who never submit, no matter how giantesses intimidate them. Yet, even in Helena’s worldview, some tinies are more valuable than others. The most precious to her is Kassandra her beloved Kassandra one of the few tinies who can speak to her and, even more remarkably, be heard.
But this time, even her precious Kassandra may have fallen under Trevor’s charm. The conversation between Helena and Kassandra is captivating. I loved how Helena treats Kassandra almost like a mother with her daughter. She’s so proud of her it’s almost funny. It reminds me of earlier chapters when she interacts with Vikki and Ricci. It’s refreshing to see Helena being kind to some tinies, moving beyond the cold persona she was first introduced as.
However, for once, Kassandra isn’t entirely aligned with Helena on one
topic: Trevor. Helena clearly isn’t a fan of Trevor; she’d likely prefer to
have nothing to do with him. Yet, circumstances make him her legal property and
a key part of her plan with Donnica, for whom Trevor is one of the most
precious things in the world. To reconnect with Donnica, Helena must handle
Trevor carefully, even if it means sharing secrets like the existence of the
Kingdom or leveraging his intellect for her own purposes. But to Kassandra,
Trevor isn’t just a brilliant mind—he’s also a handsome man, and it seems she
enjoys his company. A humorous moment is when Helena asks how Trevor behaved
toward Kassandra. It almost feels like Helena views him as a jerk but also as a
useless tiny. Kassandra, however, sees him differently. She wants him back whether
for the seed code or other reasons, only time will tell.
Another detail I love about this segment, and the chapter in general, is the lexical field surrounding divinity. It infuses the kingdom with a religious undertone, amplifying the duality of the kingdom as either a paradise for tinies or a sect designed to create obedient subjects whose sole purpose is to love and worship the giantesses.

Haha, yes, I couldn’t unveil the Kingdom without giving its
ruler her proper stage! I’m so glad her introductory moment worked for you… I
really wanted to capture that image of Helena on her throne, a living mountain
of power with a mass of tinies worshipping at her feet. That image slaps!
"Helena harbors another secret: a tiny from the

Hah, so you’re calling Trevor and Celine a pain in Helena’s
ass… are you hinting they might literally end up there? (Again!) :p
Jokes aside, you’re spot on. This is where we really start
to see why Helena treats Trevor with such disdain. He’s not just an obstacle to
her influence over Donnica, he embodies everything a tiny shouldn’t be in her
eyes: equal, defiant, unwilling to worship properly. Her worldview is strictly
hierarchical, and Trevor’s very existence challenges it. The question is… will
one of them bend to the other, or will they find some uneasy way to coexist? So
many delicious possibilities!
"But this time, even her precious Kassandra may have
fallen under Trevor’s charm. The conversation between Helena and Kassandra is

chapters when she interacts with Vikki and Ricci. It’s refreshing to see Helena
being kind to some tinies, moving beyond the cold persona she was first
introduced as."
Yes! I love this side of Helena too… it rounds her out so
much. Her rigid hierarchy still leaves room for deep, genuine affection toward
the tinies that she considers her own. That “proud mother, perfect daughter”
dynamic between her and Kassandra adds a family warmth to the Kingdom that I
adore. Those moments of gentleness give her such dimension and contrast so
sharply with her cruelty elsewhere.
"But to Kassandra, Trevor isn’t just a brilliant
mind—he’s also a handsome man, and it seems she enjoys his company. A humorous
moment is when Helena asks how Trevor behaved toward Kassandra. It almost feels
like Helena views him as a jerk but also as a useless tiny. Kassandra, however,
sees him differently. She wants him back whether for the seed code or other
reasons, only time will tell."
Indeed, only time will tell exactly what Kassandra’s motives
are, though I think readers can probably make a few good guesses. And if “proud
mother” Helena ever found out? That could get… interesting.
"Another detail I love about this segment, and the
chapter in general, is the lexical field surrounding divinity. It infuses the
kingdom with a religious undertone, amplifying the duality of the kingdom as
either a paradise for tinies or a sect designed to create obedient subjects
whose sole purpose is to love and worship the giantesses."
That makes me so happy to hear! The religious-erotic
undercurrent was one of the main tones I wanted for this chapter. I love
weaving sub/domm and worship into the fetish, so it’s a huge part of how I
imagine the Kingdom. I’m thrilled you could feel it in the bones of the story world.
And wow… you really did a review for every segment! I’m
flattered, truly. Thank you for all these thoughtful insights man! Loves ya!

After leaving the beautiful Vivara, it’s time for Trevor to meet Kassandra again, but first, he needs to find her in the Assembly House. The description of this place is absolutely flawless, and the comparison between Helena’s throne and the Assembly House is perfect. It creates a compelling dynamic of power between the goddess Helena and Kassandra, the ruler of the tinies. Even though the Assembly House is huge and beautiful, it’s nothing compared to Helena’s throne, which constantly showcases her power. She is the goddess of this place, the queen, and with just this piece of furniture, she reminds everyone of her dominance.
Trevor, however, isn’t here for the architecture he’s here to see Kassandra, who is still busy. While exploring the place, Trevor meets Conner, a teenager working on Wuthering Heights. I absolutely loved this part where they discussed the book. It feels like the break we needed after the action and discoveries of the previous three segments. It adds a touch of normality to the “paradise” of the Kingdom, reminding me of the moment in the park when Annie and Trevor talked about Eternal Hunger a scene I adored.
The clash of perspectives between Trevor and Conner on Wuthering Heights feels so real, like an authentic discussion about the novel. One thing that surprised me, though, is why Conner can’t share his work with Trevor because he’s an outsider. It’s odd since it’s just about a book, not the Kingdom itself, which raises more questions about all the secrets kept in this place. I also feel like the choice of Wuthering Heights isn’t random, but since I haven’t read it, I can’t catch the hint it might be dropping for DAW.
After his chat with Conner, it’s finally time to meet Kassandra, but Trevor makes a mistake and interrupts Gavin and Lena having sex. This moment is hilarious and shows that sex is definitely not taboo in the Kingdom, making it feel even more like a sect.
When Trevor finally reaches Kassandra’s office, he’s surprised to see her smoking. I loved that little detail, and Trevor’s joking about it is a nice touch. Their conversation is fascinating, especially learning the real reasons why Vikki and Ricci wanted him here for Kassandra, not just for the seed code. The discussion about Trevor’s relationships with Donnica and Annie is great too; I love how Kassandra plays with words.
The best part, though, is the philosophical depth and the contrasting viewpoints of these two characters. Kassandra argues that the tinies are supposed to serve and worship the giantesses, while Trevor disagrees.
Personally, I find Kassandra’s view a bit messed up. She describes the giantesses like parents who give you life, food, shelter, and protection, but we don’t treat our parents like gods. Why should all giantesses be revered when many of them are flawed or foolish? Yes, they’re big and could kill the tinies, but when you look at tinies like Trevor, Celine, Vikki, Ricci, and Rebecca, they outshine many giantesses. Kassandra also claims Trevor does the same with Donnica and Annie, but I think it’s different because he chose them, he’s not forced to love them because their giant.
It’s amazing to see this philosophical layer in DAW with two smart characters like Kassandra and Trevor.

Love that the throne came off this way! In the original
draft of the Assembly House scene, the throne actually wasn't there… and
when I went back through on the rewrite, I realized the moment was totally
missing the weight of power. Like, sure, the Assembly House shows a smaller
form of government, and with Conner we get a further sense of tiny agency, but
it needed something visceral, something erotic that reminded everyone of
the raw scale of giantess power. And then I thought: THE THRONE.
"Trevor, however, isn’t here for the architecture

Yeah I really liked that moment too, it gave the Kingdom
some room to breathe. It had just been revelation after revelation:
first the Kingdom reveal itself, then the Seed Code, then Vivara... it was
getting heavy. So this little book chat felt like a perfect break. I love the
way you put it: a touch of normality. There’s something disorienting
about something so mundane happening in such a surreal place, and that
dissonance was exactly what I wanted it to feel like.
"After his chat with Conner, it’s finally time to
meet Kassandra, but Trevor makes a mistake and interrupts Gavin and Lena having

Sex is definitely not taboo in the Kingdom! And yeah…
there’s more where that came from in future chapters ;)

Yesss I loved writing the smoking bit. Believe it or not, I
had that part in my head long before I even knew what the conversation
would be. Even before I had Kassandra fully figured out. I just had this image
months ago of Trevor walking into this surreal little kingdom, getting ushered
into some leader’s private office… and then finding her calmly smoking while
waiting for him. That was one of the seeds. So much grew out from that!
Funny how one small image can anchor a whole future scene.
Writing brains are weird like that lol.

Totally loving the responses I’ve been getting on the
Trevor/Kassandra convo… this is exactly what I was hoping for. She’s got some
pretty wild beliefs, and it’s fun seeing them bounce off Trevor’s more grounded
(but still kinda fucked up in their own way, lol) perspective.
This is the good stuff, honestly. It’d be so dull if
Kassandra had some bland, agreeable take. I love that she’s got her own
intense, complicated worldview, that’s what keeps it interesting!
(At least that’s what I hope!)
Wow! Amazing review man, I am so appreciative that you take the time to comb over my work and give such detailed analysis.
Thank you!





Date: August 03 2025 12:54 AM Title: PART 31
There's so much to get into here with these last two segments!
I think I'll start with Kassandra's very convincing yet extremely flawed (and most definitely sizeist) view on giant-tiny relations. If you just listen to her words and not really think about them, they sound like right, inarguable, definitive. But if accept this worldview of hers, you have to also accept some pretty fucked up things as well, once you really dive into what she's saying.
Let's take her whole natural selection argument, for example. Tinies were meant to serve giants; that's what nature determined. Really? So is everyone born with a birth defect born to serve those without them? Every person who is handicapped is determined by fate to serve the able-bodied? Hell, does every young child have an obligation toward the servitude of the adults who provide the structure and resources to allow them to survive?
The notion that some degree of dependence demands servitude toward those being depended upon is really messed up when you stop and think about it. The thought that dependence makes you lesser falls apart when you realize that everyone is dependent on something or someone, whether that dependence be emotional, financial, or societal. Not to get too deep into political theory here, but the whole reason government exists, regardless of form, is more or less centered around human dependency.
Size is such an extreme illustration of this, especially given the scale of size in this story (which I fucking love, by the way), but it holds true all the same. I'd argue that Trevor and Donnica's relationship is a prime example of this, as, ironically enough, Donnica has come to lean on Trevor much more than the other way around, I'd say.
But then, this whole conversation between Kassandra and Trevor just feeds into what I called one of the major themes of this arc in my last review: the inability of the world to understand the nature of Trevor and Donnica's relationship. In this case, that misunderstanding is especially prevalent, as Kassandra's own messed up beliefs restored hope for a relationship with Trevor even after he told her he was taken (by two women, no less; I love how he unashamedly includes Annabel when talking about his relationship).
Kassandra is convinced that Trevor has misunderstood the nature of his relationship with Donnica, and, in my view, wants Trevor to come back to help him understand the "truth" and court him. She can't comprehend that Trevor is romantically involved with one "goddess," let alone two, so she doesn't view him as taken at all. He just needs to understand that the "goddesses" don't feel that way about tinies, then Kassandra will be able to win him over. That's what's happening in S5, I think. Kassandra didn't laugh at Helena's disparaging remark about Trevor because she cares about him, and she cut off the goddess and pretty much lied to said goddess in order to have a chance with Trevor. I'd even go so far as to say that Kassandra letting Trevor see her smoke is a sign of her immediate affection for him.
But back to Kassandra's fucked up belief system (I went on a little tangent there), it's so interesting to me that the most level-headed, down-to-earth person in the Kingdom, the one who seems so competent and not cult-influenced, is the one we hear this nonsense from. It really makes you wonder how she fell into this mindset. I think there's probably something to her talking about the harshness and the sometimes futile struggle for tinies in the outside world. Maybe she was humbled in a way she had never been before. And I feel like this was the part of her argument that got Trevor starting to really consider her argument (despite the fact that he disproves it in so many ways).At the same time, though, I have a really hard time seeing someone like Kassandra just throwing in the towel and giving up like that.
No, I think there's something more to it than that.
Which brings me to Wuthering Heights. You throwing an actual book reference in here (rather than making up books like before), threw me for a loop. Was this a clue as to what's going on in the background for Helena and the Kingdom? Is Trevor the Mr. Lockwood of this scenario? Was this just a cool, creative way to introduce Conner into the story? Are you just obsessed with gothic literature?
I actually thought through several ways in which what we know about this arc so far might relate to this arc. I found Connor's take on the story really interesting, and it makes sense, given how pretty much every character in that story other than Hareton and Cathy. The concept of two pawns in a greater, super petty scheme finding true happiness and "correcting" the mistakes of those who came before you (or were doing the scheming possibly in this case) could apply the tinies of the Kingdom (or maybe even the Kingdom itself) in a lot of ways, I think.
Hopefully nobody marries their cousin in this story, though!
But I was much more interesting in the fact that Hareton was brought up at all. Because, the more I think about it, the more I feel like Kassandra is something of a Hareton stand-in, with Helena playing the role of Heathcliff and Celine that of Catherine. Now that's clearly not an apples to apples comparison, but I feel like it fits (or I've convinced myself of it, anyway!) I'm starting to think the Kingdom is a tale of fractured love, revenge, and real estate.
As such, I feel like Helena has manipulated Kassandra much like Heathcliff manipulated Hareton and for exactly the same reason. Granted, the way Helena gushed over Kassandra and even gave into her in S5 had me second-guessing this a bit. But then again, wasn't Heathcliff's affection for Hareton sincere by the time he died?
I don't know, I might be grasping at straws here, but I feel like there's something there at the very least. And I feel very confident that there was a deeper meaning to this Wuthering Heights reference; I've learned by reading this story that you have a reason for pretty much everything.
And while we're on this literary comparison, it also gave me an epiphany that I now feel should have been obvious before: Celine created the Kingdom. I'm not 100 percent certain about this, but the pieces seem to be there. I said I thought it should have been obvious to me sooner, and that's because of MINAR and the Seed Code. We know Celine built MINAR, a system designed for "autonomous residency," something Helena kind of mocked a little bit in S5 when she mentioned letting the subject "play at agency." And we know that Celine either created or sabotaged (or both) the Seed Code, something that no one else seems to understand and the BFFs weren't even remotely concerned that Trevor could accidentally screw up, implying Celine has an intimate understanding of it (unless the "sabotage" was really accidental, which hasn't been ruled out but I kind of doubt).
You see, at first I assumed that this Kingdom was something bestowed to Helena by this organization that we still don't know for sure exists but definitely does (or OTWSDKFSEBDD for short!). I thought this modern miracle was given to every sovereign, assuming that this was the position that Helena herself held, and that there was some test that needed to be taken to earn the right to have one.
But now I don't think that's the case. I think the titles like "goddess," "subject," and "sovereign" are an OTWSDKFSEBDD (yes, I actually used it!) thing, as are the principles instilled in Helena's Kingdom and the fostering of tiny communities like Helena owns. But the miracle of Helena's Kingdom? the artificial sun, the real tiny plant life, and the other wonders inside it? I think Celine did that and probably before she shrank.
Maybe Celine's urge to defend her fellow tinies started before she was a fellow tiny. I mean, Helena's place used to Celine's family mansion, right? It would make sense that it was Celine that had the new development on the estate and the infrastructure housing what is now called the Kingdom installed. In fact, if the OTWSDKFSEBDD (yep, sticking with it!) distributes the tech that left Trevor stunned, why couldn't Helena simply ask them how to alter the Seed Code? I suppose maybe she's planning something that goes against their rules, but I find that unlikely given how upset she was when Penelope broke the possible group's rules with Trevor.
No, I think no one else can figure out the Seed Code because Celine is the only one who can, and she's not telling anyone.
And why won't she? Because Helena is trying to ruin Celine's vision. Like Heathcliff and the two estates in his literary world, I think Helena's interest in "the Kingdom" is as much about revenge as anything. Maybe she really does want to expand the Kingdom (hence the real estate angle; see how far I'm willing to stretch things?), but this expansion will be the Wuthering Heights to the Kingdom's Thushcross Grange. Or maybe Helena wants to make ... other changes to the Kingdom once she gets access to the Seed Code, ruining the miracle altogether just to shove it in Celine's tiny face.
Or at least that's my new working theory. They change quite a bit, so maybe I'll have a whole new one by the end of the next chapter!
I was wondering if we'd ever see that girl from trash town again, and we, uh, almost did! Too bad she couldn't come out and say hello, but hey, at least Helena was comfortable the whole time! Seriously, though, I'm actually not a butt guy (gasp!), but I was hanging on every wiggle or slight adjustment from Helena in S5. It was really hot!
More importantly, we found out that, at least in extreme cases, imprinting goes beyond physical tolerance. Helena has apparently done this to "create" new subjects (or slaves, it wasn't entirely clear what Helena's long-term plan for the defiant tiny is), so it seems as though this can rewire a tiny's whole brain.
This mad me wonder more about Amber and Rebecca. We know some (accidental) imprinting has taken place with Rebecca (hence her sudden love of Amber's feet). And, of course, Amber had that, let's call it a phase, when her dominance of Rebecca seeped into everything about their relationship. So while I do think the feelings between them are at least mostly sincere, I'm now asking the question: How much of Rebecca's love for Amber is because of who Amber is and how much of it comes from this imprinting thing.
We also still don't know everything about how imprinting works, too. Trevor didn't imprint with Amber during the early chapters of the story. Did he just need more time, or is there an emotional component to it. Is Helena sticking the defiant tiny up her ass about more than just physical surroundings? Maybe the feeling of inferiority and being dominated plays a role. I mean, I'm not even asking these questions about Trevor and his relationship with Donnica and Annabel, and he's been exposed to them for way longer than either of these other examples.
So I'm not trying to lessen what Amber and Rebecca have, but that little bit did get me wondering just a little bit on Rebecca's end of things.
I should probably comment on the open sexuality of the Kingdom's cult-like environment. I didn't get around to mentioning Vikki and Ricci doing a little striptease and wanting to show Trevor their bodies, but between that and Gavin and Lena's scene in S4, there's clearly a trend here. The two bureaucrats weren't the least bit embarrassed or shamed when Trevor walked in on them. They were annoyed that they were interrupted, feeling obligated to help him before continuing. They even got right back to it before Trevor even left the room!
So yeah, there's clearly a culture of sexual openness established in the Kingdom. I wonder if that was something bestowed upon them by the goddesses or if that just comes natural given the sexual nature of at least Goddess Vivara (I'm sure the others probably share that in their own ways) and their inability to have privacy in such a tiny world.
Lastly, I just wanted to say, holy shit! You painted such a vivid picture of the Assembly House and even the landscaping surrounding it. It was so easy to picture and came off as nothing short of grand in my mind. And the fact that the throne so easily towered over it, reminding Trevor of to whom this realm really belonged, was just perfect!
Hey, look at me! I finished the chapter! Fantastic work on this one. I know the fetish content wasn't overly abundant, but the lore more than made up for it and really got my mind going thinking of all the possibilities about what's really going on with this arc. And hey, the smut we did get was great! Vivara was so much fun and came off as larger than life, and Helena putting that tiny rebel in her place (which happens to be inside Helena's ass) was hot in a way I wouldn't have expected going in to this. And that vision of Juliette descending on the tiny world and being worshipped? Just awesome!
I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this next (and having all my theories blown out of the water!).

I love this point, and it’s so true… and I think it’s one of
the best things running through the whole story. You’ve got Donnica, this
absolute force of nature, powerful in every imaginable way, and yet she leans
on Trevor in ways no one else sees. It’s honestly the backbone of their relationship
(and also kind of their half of the story) you have this woman who sometimes believes she’s a god, and the
tiny man who’s always there to center her.

Of course he has to include Annabel! That’s his Annie! Who
else is going to talk classical lit with him? Okay, maybe Conner, but still… he’s
no Annabel. And yeah, this is such a great way to sum up one of the major
themes of the whole story: how nobody seems to understand Trevor and
Donnica’s relationship except them. Even Annabel didn’t at first. Neither did
Donnica’s friends at the island. Amber didn’t either way back when. But it
always endures. And it keeps shaping everything around it.
I wonder what the future has in store for those two…

Boy… if that’s what she’s thinking, she’s in for a
rough awakening hahaha. I loved writing that moment too, Helena just
absolutely laughing at the idea that her precious, perfect Kassandra
might ever lust after someone like Trevor. I definitely had “mom who thinks her
daughter is a flawless princess” energy when I was writing that.
"Which brings me to Wuthering Heights. You throwing

Oookay so I know you go deep into theories after this and I
won’t be able to respond to most of them (you know how I do!) but I will
say I’m super impressed at how well versed you are in Wuthering Heights.
Seriously… did you just read it, or do you have an insanely good memory?
"Hopefully nobody marries their cousin in this
story, though!"
ya neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww with me!
"I'm starting to think the Kingdom is a tale of

ohhhhhh there may be some personal stakes here ;)

Yeah, I think it’s a pretty safe assumption that Celine was
at least somewhat involved in creating the Kingdom. Trevor even
speculates back in S3 that she might’ve built the Seed Code. The full extent
of her involvement though? That’s still very much up in the air…
"Maybe Celine's urge to defend her fellow tinies

Great point! If the Seed Code belonged to the OTWSDKFSEBDD
(I respect the commitment), then Helena wouldn’t need to send Trevor in at all (or the glitter duo) they’d probably have a tech team or someone who could handle it. And yes, that is
Celine’s old family mansion. Hmmm… all these pieces, what could they
mean?
"I was wondering if we'd ever see that girl from

or slight adjustment from Helena in S5. It was really hot!"
Bro, you just need to spend a little time up a woman’s ass… maybe
not Helena’s specifically, but y’know!
All jokes aside, thank you! I agree… there’s something so
hot about a giantess sitting in complete, smug regality while a tiny is trapped
helplessly beneath her. Whether it’s up her ass or in her shoe, it’s that
dynamic of effortless power that makes it land. Glad this moment worked for you! (even if butts are not your thing!)
"This made me wonder more about Amber and Rebecca.
We know some (accidental) imprinting has taken place with Rebecca (hence her

sincere, I'm now asking the question: How much of Rebecca's love for Amber is
because of who Amber is and how much of it comes from this imprinting thing."
Yeah, this has been seeded into the story for a while now.
Even way back in CH17, Rebecca was talking to Trevor about how there were
scientific studies suggesting that giants and tinies could develop physical
bonding links. And if you go all the way back to early sex scenes between Amber
and Rebecca, like in CH13, when Amber makes her say “who’s the slave and who’s
the master” you can already see Rebecca starting to submit despite
having just argued with Amber a moment before.
So yeah… something’s going on there.
Maybe we’ll get more insight into that soon… say, in the next
chapter?

Yes! This is something I really wanted to bake into the
worldbuilding, to show that the Kingdom has this otherworldly openness when it
comes to sex. It plays into the story being erotica, sure, but it also adds to
the surrealism. The idea that something so “normal,” like the expectation of
privacy, has been totally inverted. It makes the place feel intoxicating… or
unsettling, depending on your view.

Thanks so much!
That section actually went through a few rewrites and the
throne wasn’t even in the first draft. But I’m really glad I added it. My
favorite part of the description might be the bit where Trevor realizes it
probably isn’t as old as it looks…

that vision of Juliette descending on the tiny world and being worshipped? Just
awesome!"
Hey hey! You did it!
Yeah, I was a little worried about the SMUT levels in this
one too… which is why I tried to go hard with what I did include. I
still wanted it to read as a fetish piece, even as I leaned heavy into
worldbuilding. But honestly, this was such a fun little detour to write. It
felt so different from a lot of the earlier chapters in the best way. The
feedback’s been awesome so far, so I feel way more confident diving deeper into
this little Kingdom.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take
this next (and having all my theories blown out of the water!)."
Hahaha and I’m looking forward to reading them and not being
able to confirm or deny a single one :D
Seriously though… great review as always, even if I couldn’t
respond to half of it lol. I have a feeling you’ll have plenty more
theories after the next chapter drops.
Thanks again, man!





Date: August 02 2025 9:49 PM Title: PART 31
Now we enter the core of the kingdom, all the technical parts, and we are going to discover why Trevor has been allowed to enter the kingdom.
But before reaching this part, he continues his exploration, and a moment that keeps my attention is “there was an uncanny rhythm to it, a dreamy choreography that made him feel less like a traveler and more like a character being written into a story.”
It’s really made me feel like the kingdom is far from being the paradise introduced in the first segment but more like something with a lot of secrets.
I enjoy a lot the difference between what he shows through the text with the description of the place and what we can imagine through the eyes of Trevor. But now he enters the core, where everything related to the kingdom is defined, and the work on the description is so flawless; it’s really a huge strength of this chapter.
And what we can see of this place is how complex it is; Trevor even compares it to the Matrix, but it’s not; it’s the seed code. And all we can say is how perfect it is, completely working in full autonomy, making sure everything is perfect, without any problem and never needing human intervention, and that it’s probably the closest thing to God’s work, way more than the false divinity of Helena and her girl.But when Trevor tries to work on the understanding of this code, Vikki and Ricci show their real intention; they don’t bring Trevor for the code but for another reason, way more trivial. Kassandra, they want to make Trevor and Kassandra fall in love with each other. And this part is fantastic; I love Vikki and Ricci so much. They are so innocent for this world, they are so cute, and they also so kindly took the risk to piss off Helena and the other so-called goddesses to make Kassandra happy. But sadly, for our glitter duo, Trevor only focuses on the code (he also has two complicated and crazy women to deal with). And we finally know the truth: this place wasn’t the creation of Helena and her girl, but the creation of Celine, and that’s changed a lot of things and explains others. Maybe the reason she is under status C is to protect this place and the people who lived there. And also, why does Helena want her to submit so much? Because she needed her to expand the kingdom. The “reason” why Trevor has been accepted in the kingdom in the first place is because he “beat” Celine, but it looks too complicated for him, or maybe he doesn’t really want to succeed? Only time will tell.
We also learn a bit more about our little duo and their past, and it broke my heart. Poor little Vikki and Ricci were sold to a logic farm by their own family. And the reaction of Trevor is incredible; without even thinking, he took both in his arms. It was wholesome. It was like Trevor offered them a family moment they can’t have anymore; I love this image.
After this beautiful moment it’s time to leave this place to meet Kassandra again, but this time in her own office, and as a pleasant surprise we discover everything is not ruled by the goddess; some stuff is dealt with by tiny people. It’s an interesting aspect; we just need to know how deep it goes.During the walk the kingdom reveals another beautiful side, but not with a view this time, with another giantess who also offers an amazing view. Vivara, and if Juliette is cold, it’s not the case with our new goddess. She is taking a bath with many tiny playing on her gigantic and also perfect body. And damn, that’s hot.
The description of Vivara is incredible; it almost feels like the description of a mythic creature, something so beautiful that it shouldn’t exist in this world. It really feels like you are describing a Greek goddess where every aspect of her body is sacred, and the fact there are many tiny around her playing with her body increases that aspect it’s a scene we could see in Greek mythology. It really empowers Vivara. And she also loved our glitter duo who joined her in the bath. Making sure they show their bodies to Trevor, even Vivara was interested in our tiny hero. But sadly, for her, he is taken by two beautiful and completely messed-up giantess.
This new character is fantastic, and it is nice to see the range of the women in the Helena estate, from the cold Juliette to the lustful Vivara. I can’t wait to discover all the range the kingdom can offer. Both from giantesses and other tiny also. And the scene after is perfect, and the fact that taking a bath with a giantess is not possible anymore, except in the kingdom, makes this place even more special.Also, a perfect moment is when Vivara saw Trevor and Vikki and Ricci explained to her who he is; it’s so funny, and after the description of Vivara slowly moving to observe Trevor, it's so hot, lol. But even with the dream vision around him, this perfect goddess naked in hot water with tiny playing all around his body doesn’t seduce. Trevor still has his two own goddess and a mission to go see Kassandra. But when he leaves to meet her, he sees Vivara enjoying herself, and it’s another scene directly coming from Greek mythology, and damn, all I can say is it’s hot. And it feels like Vivara doesn’t give up on the idea of owning Trevor, and even with all his will, Trevor can’t force himself to stop watching her.
In conclusion, another perfect segment into the kingdom. It’s interesting to see how all this place works, and it’s also proved to us how Celine is smart for building all these places, even if I want to know why she built all these places. Was she a pro tiny before she got the virus, or did Helena or other people help her build it? So many questions. I also loved the details about Vikki and Ricci’s past; it’s nice to know more about our cute little duo. And of course, the main part of this chapter is the meeting with Vivara, and damn, I know I've said it before, but the work on every detail in this entire chapter is incredible, and it’s probably the best one yet with the description of Vivara. We can really feel all her beauty, and I really feel like she was truly a goddess directly coming from Mount Olympus.

thank you for saying so! my descriptive text goes through a
ton of revision, especially in this chapter where setting the atmosphere was
absolutely critical. The Kingdom is such a surreal, otherworldly place that the
tone had to hit just right. I’m really glad it stood out to you :)
"And what we can see of this place is how complex it

And all we can say is how perfect it is, completely working in full autonomy,
making sure everything is perfect, without any problem and never needing human
intervention, and that it’s probably the closest thing to God’s work, way more
than the false divinity of Helena and her girl."
Wait… are you trying to say Helena and her girls aren’t
actual living goddesses?!?
(yeah okay, fair point)
also, I’m so glad you remembered the Matrix bit. Writing
that cracked me up.
"Vikki and Ricci show their real intention; they
don’t bring Trevor for the code but for another reason, way more trivial.
Kassandra, they want to make Trevor and Kassandra fall in love with each other.
And this part is fantastic; I love Vikki and Ricci so much. They are so
innocent for this world, they are so cute, and they also so kindly took the
risk to piss off Helena and the other so-called goddesses to make Kassandra
happy."
yes!! I’m so glad you pointed that out… they really did
take a risk bringing Trevor into the Kingdom. I think characters are at their
best when they have agency, and while the glitter bomb duo are definitely
faithful to the Kingdom and Helena, they clearly have minds (and hearts) of
their own. Their love for Kassandra runs deep, and their soft spot for Trevor
is obvious. That’s what made this moment feel so genuine to write.
"The “reason” why Trevor has been accepted in the
kingdom in the first place is because he “beat” Celine, but it looks too
complicated for him, or maybe he doesn’t really want to succeed? Only time will
tell."
great point. I think the first time around, Trevor was so
caught off guard by the Kingdom that he just went with the flow. But if he
keeps getting pulled deeper into its politics and inner workings… it'll be
interesting to see what he does with that.
"After this beautiful moment it’s time to leave this
place to meet Kassandra again, but this time in her own office, and as a
pleasant surprise we discover everything is not ruled by the goddess; some
stuff is dealt with by tiny people. It’s an interesting aspect; we just need to
know how deep it goes."
yes! I love that you picked up on that… Kassandra’s
leadership and the idea that not everything in the Kingdom is handed
down from on high. There’s a structure, a society, an actual system of
governance among the tinies themselves. If the giantesses were the only ones in
charge, it would honestly be a lot more boring.
"The description of Vivara is incredible; it almost
feels like the description of a mythic creature, something so beautiful that it
shouldn’t exist in this world. It really feels like you are describing a Greek
goddess where every aspect of her body is sacred, and the fact there are many
tiny around her playing with her body increases that aspect it’s a scene we
could see in Greek mythology. It really empowers Vivara."
this is EXACTLY the vibe I was going for! Even when I was
picking her name, I wanted it to have that mythological, old-world resonance.
The bronze skin, the green and gold eyes, the curling auburn hair… I wanted her
to feel less like a character and more like a legend walking. I’m so thrilled
that came across.
"This new character is fantastic, and it is nice to
see the range of the women in the Helena estate, from the cold Juliette to the
lustful Vivara. I can’t wait to discover all the range the kingdom can offer.
Both from giantesses and other tiny also."
yes absolutely! One of the things I’m most excited for is
rolling out more of the different 'goddesses' who have roles in the Kingdom, and
you’re absolutely right, they each have very different personalities, beliefs,
and ways of asserting their divinity. I think it’ll be really fun to explore
that full spectrum!
"Also, a perfect moment is when Vivara saw Trevor
and Vikki and Ricci explained to her who he is; it’s so funny, and after the
description of Vivara slowly moving to observe Trevor, it's so hot, lol."
yes! I had so much fun writing that moment… Vivara leaning
out over the bay, just looming over him like she was assessing a new worshipper
for her temple. I’m so glad you found it hot, because it was definitely
hot to write!
"In conclusion, another perfect segment into the
kingdom. It’s interesting to see how all this place works, and it’s also proved
to us how Celine is smart for building all these places, even if I want to know

it’s awesome to hear you say that and especially cool that
you’re calling it your favorite segment so far because of Vivara! The
funny thing is, I only added her in because I realized I hadn’t written any
SMUT for the chapter yet and thought, “shit, I better do something!” Then once
I got into it… I just loved the vibe, and she took on a life of her own.
Now I’ve written her further into the story and she’s playing a bigger role
going forward.
All because I needed some smut lol.
Thanks again for the review man… this one was super insightful and really fun to read through!





Date: July 30 2025 6:17 AM Title: PART 31
Something clicked for me during that last part of S3.
Seeing the way those tinies worshipped Vivara and the way she cherished them in return, I realized how these "goddesses" view things, why even someone like Helena can look at Vikki and Ricci with love and admiration. If a tiny fully devotes themselves to the goddesses, loves them, worships them, admires them, then the goddesses will cherish them in return. Like any other divine being, morals knowing their place and showing reverence is rewarded. That's why Juliette, someone who was introduced to us as an arrogant, tiny-hating aristocrat, holds the Kingdom as sacred: because she believes in this system as much as the rest of them.
This made me think back to Celine's warning the last time she was with Trevor. She told him that Trevor was only safe until Helena convinced Donnica to "think like them," then he'd end up in a cage right next to her. I didn't know exactly what Celine meant by this then, and I mostly just assumed she was saying that Helena would convince Donnica to hate Trevor like she does every other tiny. But now I realize what Helena's plan to get rid of Trevor is.
She thinks that once Donnica experiences the type of "love" the goddesses receive from subjects of the Kingdom, her relationship with Trevor will pale in comparison. She thinks that what she has is so much greater than what Donnica has with Trevor that once Donnica has the chance to have a Kingdom of her own (assuming my prediction about that "sovereign" stuff is right), she can finally make Trevor pay (or watch Donnica make him pay) for being a thorn in her side.
Now, maybe I'm blinded by my thoughts on Donnica and the Kingdom (I've been saying for two reviews now that she'd despise this setup, so maybe I just have that on the brain), but, if this is actually Helena's plan, she's in for a rude awakening. Because, like I said back in the trash town, while their actions may be similar, their motivations are entirely different.
I don't think Donnica wants to be adored by tinies. I don't think a bunch of little people loving and trusting her completely would move her in the least. I think she'd be disgusted, actually. This leads into what I'm starting to see as a major theme of this arc: Nobody understands Donnica and Trevor's relationship (except Annabel, for obvious reasons, although that whole thing would just confuse everyone even more!).
Ricci and Vikki have obviously been trying to hook Trevor up with Kassandra, and that was basically confirmed in this segment. I have to believe that the BFFs know about Trevor's relationship with Donnica. But I don't think they're even capable of understanding what it really is. We haven't seen anything to confirm it yet, but based on what they're trying to do, I can only imagine they assume that Trevor's relationship with Donnica is like their relationship with Helena, which obviously isn't remotely true. But, in their minds, that's as close to a giant as a tiny can get; it's beyond their understanding that a tiny could actually date a giant.
Tying this into what I think Helena is trying to do with Donnica, I don't think Helena can comprehend that Donnica truly holds Trevor as an equal, that she holds him up as above even her fellow giants, something she's done at least since that vacation to the island (where it was stated outright). Helena actually believes that Donnica wants to be worshipped, to be loved by a tiny cult who view her as literal divinity.
Helena can't understand that it's that stubbornness, that very thing that Helena hates about Trevor, that makes him special to Donnica. As much as she hates the weakness and helplessness of most tinies, it's Trevor's strength that draws her to him. Trevor is everything these "subjects" are not, and I don't see Donnica ever choosing having them over Trevor. it wouldn't even be a decision, really. She'd probably stomp the potential subjects flat for daring to challenge for Trevor's place in her heart before Helena could even fully explain what's going on.
So yeah, unless I'm just way off (and wasted all those words!), I'm pretty sure Helena is doomed to fail when it comes to Donnica.
Also, I'll be interested to see how Vivara treats tinies outside of the Kingdom if/when we see her in the real world. She sounded like a real sweetheart here, but so did Helena when talking to Vikki and Ricci a couple chapters ago. I could see her doing a total 180 if we see her interacting with non-subjects. Again, I feel like this organization's code is all about returning the love and devotion of their subjects with showering them with divine (and possibly patronizing) love.
You know, I know the Seed Code was probably the most significant thing mentioned in the segment, but it was the logic farm that most grabbed my attention. Aside from the incredibly sad story of Ricci and Vikki's families selling them (what the fuck?! Also, yet another glance on the diverse views on tinies by the wider world of giants), how they came into Helena's possession really got me thinking.
So there are places where highly skilled tinies are sold and forced to do cognitive labor. And that's where "the goddesses" bought Vikki and Ricci and "saved" them. It kind of makes you wonder what these goddesses were doing at that logic farm in the first place, doesn't it? And not only did they go to one, but they made purchases as well. Maybe it's just me, but I don't feel like brilliant, incredibly skilled tinies are an impulse buy. It seems to me as though the goddesses were there looking for a particular type of tiny to buy. So it also doesn't seem like a coincidence that they bought two genius tinies with mindboggling programming skills (and possibly others as well).
That brings me back to what I've been asking in my other reviews in this chapter so far. Just what makes these "subjects" so special that they get to live in paradise while the rest have to suffer at the mercy of a world much to large for them? Well, for Vikki and Ricci, that now seems pretty obvious. They weren't found or just so happened to know the right person to get there; they were purchased. I mentioned before that I thought each subject might be highly skilled in some way and that's why they were "chosen," and this made me feel a little more confident about that prediction.
... until Vivara told Trevor he'd make a good subject, that is! Her making this appraisal after just looking at him implies that skill isn't a requirement at all, and that the goddesses are either looking for something else or can just pick subjects on a whim. Granted, between Trevor telling Vivara that he was spoken for by two giants and her finding out that he was an outsider given entry by Helena to do something "important," maybe Vivara could make certain assumptions about Trevor's abilities and only be curious about his looks. But yeah, this knocked down that growing confidence in my theory by a peg.
Back to the Seed Code, though. I wonder if it actually does what the girls were told it does. I'm a bit skeptical but not outright dismissive of it. I don't think we have enough information to know much of anything about it for sure yet, but I found the claim that Donnica wants to expand the Kingdom to be quite intriguing, though. If that's true, it makes you wonder why Celine would be so unwilling to help. We never got a direct answer on whether or not she created the code, but I think we can confidently assume that she did something to it at the very least. If I remember right, didn't Helena tell Celine that Trevor was going to go in and look at the mess the tiny genius made? If Celine didn't make the code, she almost certainly sabotaged it. Or, at the very least, locked everyone else out.
Which leads me to ask why? If Donnica wants to expand tiny paradise, why wouldn't Celine want to help with that? Despite her disdain for Helena, she does seem to really care about tinykind in general (hence her occasional hostility toward Trevor; because I think that she, too, doesn't understand that Trevor's relationship with Donnica is purely romantic). So wouldn't she want to do something to help more tinies end up in a place scaled entirely to them, to give them their lives back? The fact that she doesn't makes me think there are some seriously dark intentions hidden somewhere in concept of the Kingdom. Or maybe Helena doesn't want to expand. Maybe the Seed Code does something different entirely.
Or perhaps it has something to do with Helena's plan with the firm. If Helena really is trying to make more space in her Kingdom, then I have a really hard time believing that it's a coincidence that she's also trying to remove hundreds of thousands of tinies from the state's insurance program. I mean, she wants to expand at the same time that that she's trying to throw so many tinies on the street? It would have to be related. And Donnica was surprised that they were making that move so fast, which seemed to be a throwaway line at the time. But now it seems like a clue that Helena is in a hurry for some reason. Maybe she needs to expand the Kingdom before she can move forward with the deregistration plan, and that's why Celine did what she did and won't fix it now.
Or maybe Celine just hates the subjects! She didn't seem too fond of Vikki and Ricci when we saw them all together, yet Vikki and Ricci seemed deeply saddened every time Celine came up, even when Trevor called her The Outcast like he was "supposed to." It seems that Celine feels hurt, maybe even betrayed, by something they did, while the Glitter Twins are just bummed that they can't properly hang out with her anymore.
On a less plot-heavy note, I thought it was cute how Trevor reacted when he realized what Ricci and Vikki were actually trying to do. Actually that whole scene at the terminal was amazing! The logic farm stuff was heartbreaking, but seeing Trevor have a human moment with the BFFs put a smile on my face. Trevor smiling as he realized that the girls were trying to pair him off with Kassandra was sweet, as was the girls' not quite subtle approach to it! And the stuff with the code itself, balancing out Trevor's skill by noting that there were things he recognized in there with the overall unknowable-ness of the code was really well done. I still feel like Trevor really knows his shit, despite the fact that he failed to figure anything out. And I have no doubt that those notes he took are going to come back in a big way somewhere down the line.
Also, the comparison between the dark, dreary, and technologically advanced inner workings of the Kingdom with its dream-like perfection "outside" was a nice contrast too. It's interesting to see how different the parts that allow the subjects to live their blissful lives actually operate. Also also, I'm really digging Trevor's new outlook on the Kingdom, that it's a "fever dream" or that he's suddenly "part of a story." To me, this shows that while he's amazed at what he's seeing and obviously likes it, he doesn't see it as real or a place he'd like to call home. If given the choice, I feel like he'd still choose to suffer feeling tiny in a larger world with Donnica and Annabel over feeling normal in this blissful cult haven, despite it's near perfection.
His feelings for Kassandra might be a different story, though. I'm ... a little worried that Trevor might be about to fuck up. Although, at the same time, part of me does have faith in him. He was willing to give himself to Donnica and Annabel in the most literal way possible, after all. That's as dedicated as he can get! So, at this point in his life, I do feel like he'll stay loyal to his "goddesses." Then again, we've seen Trevor "go with the flow" in situations like this in the past, too. Although, to be fair, those were always with giants.
So yeah, I mostly feel like Trevor isn't going to give in to temptation, but the concern is still there, if that makes sense.
Another awesome segment! I loved the worldbuilding and plot stuff (obviously, as this review shows), and you even worked in some great smut at the end of it!

I think that’s a really solid read on what’s playing out
here. The only thing I’d add is that, for all the divinity the goddesses try to
project, they’re still just women; flawed, varied, individual. They might
embrace the role, but do they all believe in the same theology, or at the very
least, do they have the same interpretation? And the same’s true for the
worshippers. Just because they wear the same colors doesn’t mean they all see
the same light.
"She thinks that once Donnica experiences the type
of 'love' the goddesses receive from subjects of the Kingdom, her relationship
with Trevor will pale in comparison. She thinks that what she has is so much
greater than what Donnica has with Trevor that once Donnica has the chance to
have a Kingdom of her own (assuming my prediction about that 'sovereign' stuff
is right), she can finally make Trevor pay (or watch Donnica make him pay) for
being a thorn in her side."
That’s an interesting way to look at it, and you might be
right in terms of Helena’s logic. But I do wonder… is Trevor really the focus
of her interest? Or is he just an obstacle she wants out of Donnica’s orbit? If
she truly hated him, she could’ve barred him from the Kingdom altogether. So
maybe her obsession isn’t with Trevor, but with whatever she believes
Donnica could become without him.
"Tying this into what I think Helena is trying to do

Trevor as an equal, that she holds him up as above even her fellow giants,
something she's done at least since that vacation to the island (where it was
stated outright). Helena actually believes that Donnica wants to be worshipped,
to be loved by a tiny cult who view her as literal divinity."
...and yet this is absolutely the truth! So whatever
Helena’s trying to do (whatever her plan for Donnica is) if it involves driving
a wedge between her and Trevor, she’s got a hell of a challenge ahead of her.
You mention later that Trevor’s rebellion is part of what draws Donnica to him,
and yeah, exactly. That’s a lesson Donnica, and even Annabel, had to learn the
hard way.
"Also, I'll be interested to see how Vivara treats

Good point… and we just might be seeing our over-indulgent
goddess again somewhere down the line. But I wonder if they (the 'goddesses') all have the same interpretation
of what divinity means, exactly. So far we’ve mostly seen Helena and her
immediate subordinate Juliette… but I really wonder what the others
believe.
I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough!
"You know, I know the Seed Code was probably the

Vikki's families selling them (what the fuck?! Also, yet another glance on the
diverse views on tinies by the wider world of giants), how they came into
Helena's possession really got me thinking."
You know, all things considered, the Seed Code didn’t even
feel like the most important part of the chapter to me. Honestly, I was a
little worried it was veering too far into “sci-fi,” with this bit and when it
comes to erotica (which I really see as a branch of romance) I always gravitate
toward character work. The part that made me giddy writing this segment was
Vikki and Ricci asking Trevor about Kassandra! I just loved that interaction… it
felt like the heart of the scene. To me, these stories shine brightest when
they’re grounded in relationships.
That said… yeah, the logic farm stuff was grim.
Really dark. Gave me those “selling your children in pre-modern China” vibes.
Yikes.
"So there are places where highly skilled tinies are

Good point! It really does make you wonder what kind of
network and presence these 'goddesses' actually have, and yeah, I’ve seen you
bring up that idea of a non-existent but definitely existent organization.
Makes you wonder if they might (theoretically, of course) have their hands in
something like that…

Trevor's abilities and only be curious about his looks. But yeah, this knocked
down that growing confidence in my theory by a peg."
ah yes! it really did seem like Vivara just made the
decision on the spot, didn’t it? Like she saw Trevor and, at her own loving
divine whim, just decided he should be hers. Just because she felt like it. And
yet, at the same time, the Kingdom is a functioning society… so you’d
think they’d need actual specialists at some point, right?

occasional hostility toward Trevor; because I think that she, too, doesn't
understand that Trevor's relationship with Donnica is purely romantic). So
wouldn't she want to do something to help more tinies end up in a place scaled
entirely to them, to give them their lives back? The fact that she doesn't
makes me think there are some seriously dark intentions hidden somewhere in
concept of the Kingdom. Or maybe Helena doesn't want to expand. Maybe the Seed
Code does something different entirely."
One of my favorite things about this chapter is that even
though Celine doesn’t appear directly, she’s still felt all throughout. And
yeah, that’s a great observation, surely Celine, of all people, would want to
better the cause of tinies. She definitely seems passionate about it.
And good memory! Helena did scold her over something when it came to the
code, and whether she wrote it, sabotaged it, or locked everyone else out…
there’s definitely more going on there.
More mysteries of the Kingdom...
Guess we’ll have to wait and see :)
"On a less plot-heavy note, I thought it was cute
how Trevor reacted when he realized what Ricci and Vikki were actually trying
to do. Actually that whole scene at the terminal was amazing! The logic farm
stuff was heartbreaking, but seeing Trevor have a human moment with the BFFs
put a smile on my face. Trevor smiling as he realized that the girls were
trying to pair him off with Kassandra was sweet, as was the girls' not quite
subtle approach to it! And the stuff with the code itself, balancing out Trevor's
skill by noting that there were things he recognized in there with the overall
unknowable-ness of the code was really well done. I still feel like Trevor
really knows his shit, despite the fact that he failed to figure anything out.
And I have no doubt that those notes he took are going to come back in a big
way somewhere down the line."
yeah I touched on this earlier but I really loved writing
this part… Vikki and Ricci trying to play matchmaker. If we go way back to S3
of Chapter 29, we saw the two of them sneaking up on Trevor, calling him cute,
whispering to each other… they were plotting even then. They even had to
trick Helena to get him into the Kingdom! I just feel like writing shines most
when it’s character-motivated. Like sure, I could’ve written it so
Trevor beat Celine in the programming competition and that earned him access to the Kingdom, but
isn’t this just way more fun? Isn't it more raw? More real?
As for Trevor’s skills, yeah, he’s been shown to be
remarkably capable before… But that Seed Code is clearly next-level. We’ll see
what happens!
"His feelings for Kassandra might be a different
story, though. I'm ... a little worried that Trevor might be about to fuck up.
Although, at the same time, part of me does have faith in him. He was willing
to give himself to Donnica and Annabel in the most literal way possible, after
all. That's as dedicated as he can get! So, at this point in his life, I do
feel like he'll stay loyal to his 'goddesses.' Then again, we've seen Trevor
'go with the flow' in situations like this in the past, too. Although, to be
fair, those were always with giants."
like I was just saying, there’s definitely some anticipation
there now, charged with a little mystery. Maybe not from their perspectives, but for
the reader? Absolutely ;)
Should be interesting to see how their next meeting goes…
which might just be as soon as the next segment.
"Another awesome segment! I loved the worldbuilding
and plot stuff (obviously, as this review shows), and you even worked in some
great smut at the end of it!"
You know what’s funny about the SMUT? I only added it
because the chapter had basically none up to that point. I was like,
“shit! I gotta throw something in.” And then I actually really liked what came
out of it, I got to do a breast scene (which I KNOW people have been wanting),
and I even ended up with a brand new giantess who’s sticking around further
into the story. It also let me move Ricci and Vikki out of the way and set up a
potential one-on-one between Trevor and Kassandra (which may or may not happen
next segment)
The moral of the story? When in doubt… add SMUT lol





Date: July 28 2025 4:44 PM Title: PART 31
We continue to explore the kingdom in this second segment, and it starts with the description of something much bigger than expected: a chair, or more accurately, a throne, a massive one made for only one person, the ruler of this place: Helena. I love it because it really adds to the divine aura of Helena and her girls. It’s as if she’s an omniscient goddess who can watch everything while sitting on her throne.
After seeing this throne, he continues his journey inside the kingdom, traveling to different places until he meets the tiny woman he saw earlier, Kassandra. I really loved what you did with her. She’s different from all the other tinies we’ve already met in the story. She’s like the human embodiment of the kingdom itself, beautiful, kind, almost unreal, with an air of mystery. After a small conversation, we discover who Kassandra is.
She’s the ruler of this place, at least for the tinies more like a supervisor, since the true ruler is obviously Helena, along with the girls who accompany her, like Juliette.
The funny part is how she is described by our two little suns, Vikki and Ricci. Those two are so lovable, and I adore their interaction with Kassandra, it’s almost like a mother and her two daughters, with Trevor in the middle as a stranger trying to understand the situation. During this little talk, they’re interrupted by two zealous officials: Gavin and Lena. These two are such weird specimens, fighting each other with words. This part is priceless, especially when you describe the atmosphere between them. It’s hilarious to see everyone tired of their bickering but too afraid to stop them because it might make things worse.
Thankfully, Kassandra steps in to introduce them to Trevor, but they don’t change their behavior just because he’s there they keep up their silly battle. The group: Kassandra, Trevor, Vikki, Ricci, Lena, and Gavin, move on to see the river. God, I love that part with Trevor watching the river with such emotion. It’s fantastic to see another aspect of the shrinking virus, beyond just the obvious size reduction. And it gets even better when Trevor becomes vulnerable, simply enjoying this place and realizing it’s like the world the virus took from him. It’s powerful. This is an aspect of Trevor we don’t see often. While he’s amazed by this place, he realizes he can’t learn more because of his status as an outsider.
But when he makes the mistake of criticizing Helena and her girls, everything changes. Everyone acts like he’s committed the worst act of blasphemy. This part is really interesting because it instantly turns the kingdom into a cult. What Kassandra says afterward amplifies this feeling even more. He’s forgiven for his mistake, and they continue their tour, enjoying every small moment the kingdom offers. Kassandra makes it even more pleasant for Trevor with her little stories. One of the highlights of this segment is the farm and the part about the food. I loved it, it’s so interesting to see another aspect of the virus, the fact that they can’t eat untransformed food. This detail about how the virus affects even basic needs like food makes DAW so special. The moment when Trevor eats the apple is so simple, yet we can feel all the happiness in that single bite. But probably the best part of this chapter is Juliette’s arrival. I love this part so much, the way you describe it feels like a goddess walking on earth. It’s absolutely perfect. We can feel all her power, even though she’s doing nothing but walking. And of course, the best moment is when you mention her foot odor, damn, it’s hot, lol. Though it’s a bit weird to me that almost all the tinies seem to love it, since most of the tinies we’ve met don’t enjoy foot odor. The most surprising thing is probably that the kingdom was created to ensure the giantesses can walk without destroying everything. It’s such a smart concept. The reaction of the people when Trevor doesn’t kneel is perfect and adds a lot to the idea that the kingdom is a cult. People, especially someone named Elric, are ready to hurt Trevor just to force him to kneel. It shows that, even if the kingdom looks like the Garden of Eden, there’s still some weird stuff going on. I also loved that Trevor was ready to fight instead of surrendering. It’s really nice because, after seeing the kingdom and all its good things, he could have just given in and tried to live there, after all, for tinies, it’s the closest thing to paradise. But no, he doesn’t surrender. I also loved that Juliette, no matter what happens, just doesn’t care. She’s there to deliver her message, and nothing else matters.
In conclusion, this is an amazing segment. I loved all the biblical references, which add even more divine mystique to the kingdom. I also loved that we see the kingdom isn’t just the paradise introduced in S1, it’s more like a cult. The details, especially around the virus, are fascinating. It’s compelling to see everything the tinies have lost, and how what they miss most are the simplest things, like fruits or being close to a river. The most impressive detail is probably that the floor is built to withstand the weight of a giantess, I love this idea. Overall, this fantastic segment makes us think even more about the kingdom. It also introduces great characters like the amazing Kassandra and the quirky duo, Gavin and Lena.

"We continue to explore the kingdom in this second

Yes, I remember when I was writing that segment and
realizing I needed to ground the reader again, to remind them of exactly where
they were, and who truly owned this place. The throne just felt like the
perfect visual for that. Stark, massive, and unmistakable. It set the tone
immediately: this is a world governed by Helena’s will.
"After seeing this throne, he continues his journey

is."
This is such a lovely way to frame her, thank you! You
nailed the intention. Kassandra really is meant to feel like the human
reflection of the Kingdom itself: radiant, composed, mysterious, and just a
little out of reach. I’m so glad she left that impression.
"The funny part is how she is described by our two

I love that you picked up on all of this! Kassandra’s
dynamic with Vikki and Ricci was a quiet way of showing her status… words
weren’t needed when their affection spoke so loudly. And Gavin and Lena, oh
man… writing them was me stepping outside my usual tone a bit, but I’m thrilled
their chaotic bickering hit right. They’re ridiculous, but they also serve a
purpose showing the reader that the Kingdom does have a local (tiny) government of sorts.
"God, I love that part with Trevor watching the

Yes! I loved writing this side of Trevor. Usually, he keeps
things buttoned-up (sarcastic, sharp, a little aloof) but here? This is the
closest we’ve seen him to being overwhelmed in a while. That moment by the
river was the emotional core of the whole segment, and I’m so glad it landed.
We needed to feel the miracle through his eyes… not just be told it
exists.
"One of the highlights of this segment is the farm

I really appreciate you calling that out, those little
worldbuilding details are what make the universe feel lived in. It’s one
thing to say the virus changes people; it’s another to show how it follows them
into every mundane corner of their lives. Food, farming, eating… it all shifts.
"But probably the best part of this chapter is
Juliette’s arrival. I love this part so much, the way you describe it feels

power, even though she’s doing nothing but walking. And of course, the best

Haha YESSS this was one of my favorite things to write!
Juliette’s arrival was meant to feel like a shockwave. A living god
stepping into paradise, warping the world around her with nothing but presence.
And you just know I had to bring the foot smell into play (especially
with you reading LOL) And the way everyone reacted to it... well, let’s just
say there might be a reason for that ;)
"I also loved that Trevor was ready to fight instead

good things, he could have just given in and tried to live there, after all,

surrender."
Absolutely. For Trevor, this isn’t paradise… not yet anyways.
He sees the gears turning behind the pageantry. He knows the giant women walking
barefoot through the fields are the same ones who argue with him over legal
filings. The ones who make his life hell over LegalSync. He’s not bowing. And
that tension (that defiance) is what makes him who he is. He was ready for a fight when Elric wanted him to kneel.
"In conclusion, this is an amazing segment. I loved
all the biblical references, which add even more divine mystique to the
kingdom. I also loved that we see the kingdom isn’t just the paradise

This might be my favorite part of writing the Kingdom, that
sharp contrast with the outside world. I don’t just get to tell readers
what tinies have lost… I get to show it. In the soil. The food. The
rivers. The longing for the ordinary. And when those details resonate (like
they clearly did here with you) it means the world to me. I’m also thrilled you
loved the new characters! Kassandra in particular is going to be important
going forward... maybe even very important ;)
Thanks for the review man, amazing as always :)
