I like the way this chapter was structured. A lot of tough love and even a little bit of cruelty here and there in the middle, bookended by really sweet moments.

I really liked a lot of the meanness from Lola here, not necessarily because of I enjoyed her being mean (although I did, honestly) but rather because there was a purpose behind most of what she did. Her deciding to punish Sophia and taunting Allen about not being able to help the poor tiny girl was more than an instance of her casually enjoying her power over the tinies (although she did, too). It was about protecting them from themselves.

Sophia felt strongly enough about keeping Allen from being tormented that she stood up to Lola, which was really brave and admirable of her. It was also irrelevant, which was what Lola was trying to show. The giantess just picked up Sophia and decided to punish her, and there was nothing Sophia could do about it. And Allen learned that there was nothing he could do about it, either, no matter how much he wanted to help his fellow tiny.

Now, Lola is a good-natured person who would never (intentionally) seriously harm a tiny, but how would someone like, say, Ruby react to a bold tiny defying her like that. It would probably be a lot worse, and I could see Ruby even killing said tiny in the heat of the moment (and feeling a little guilty about doing that to Lola later on). Lola respects Allen's strength as a person and was happy to see him able to stand up for Sophia like that, but she also knew that Allen needed to be reminded that tinies simply can't do anything about stuff like this and that trying could even have consequences.

We saw a lot more gentle example of this same lesson last chapter, when Olivia picked up Lily without permission to demonstrate how easily a normal could just snatch her off the street if she went home on her own. Same concept here.

Of course, the nature of Sophia's punishment was all about Lola's mischievous side and touched on cruelty just a little bit, although it was less about tormenting Sophia and more about pleasuring herself for Lola, I think.

We saw a different kind of tough love when Lola dealt with the abandoned tiny shelter with Olivia later on. The college girl was harsh with her words, seemingly heartless if the words were taken by themselves. It would be easy to say that she simply showed no sympathy for the tiny who had been stepped on before or that she was simply mocking the tinies for being too weak to survive even if they were to escape to the outside world. But again, she was trying to bring them to reality and help them realize that the normals aren't the enemy. It really was that tiny's fault for wandering out of the safety zone, and it was ridiculous for the tinies to assume that the normals are going to keep their feet glued to the ground every second. And if they were to run away and escape outside, they likely wouldn't last very long. She convinced them, in a way they couldn't deny, that they needed normals to look after them and that Olivia and her were those normals.

Even when Lola destroyed their settlement in front of them, I don't think she even noticed how devastating it was for the tinies. She didn't hear or see their reactions. All she knew was that they were all getting much better ones at her place and that she had a chance to fulfill a desire of hers that she rarely got to embrace. It was a win-win for her. So I don't even think I could label this as cruel, even though all the tinies not named Maya would probably disagree with me.

I can really appreciate Olivia's dilemma here. She really cares about the tinies and hates seeing Lola mess with them, especially in the way that Lola decides to do so, but she did the same type of stuff when she was younger, so she can't really make Lola stop. I'm sure she also understands how these things make Lola feel and doesn't want to take them away from her daughter as well. She has to be torn between letting her daughter have a good time and trying to protect the tinies. Not only that, but I think part of her frustration is not wanting to see Lola make the same mistakes that she did when she was younger.

And I'm more convinced after reading this chapter that there were mistakes in Olivia's younger days. When Lola pointed out that Olivia used to put tinies in her panties the way Lola was doing with Sophia, that pretty much settled it for me. I'm still not sure if Olivia took things too far or what happened to change her ways. Maybe she finally realized what her actions were doing to the tinies, which would make sense, since it's been pointed out a couple times now that Lola isn't fully aware of just how rough she's actually getting from the tinies' point of view. Could Lola have one of those moments and make the same change that Olivia did at some point in this story? Granted, maybe Olivia just grew out of it, but I'm seeing the elements of a major plot development brewing, I think.

Ruby was an interesting character. I haven't gotten around to reading GT - Silverlake yet, but I'm guessing she's from that story?

What intrigued me about Ruby was her harshness and cruelty mixed with how she views the tinies in general. She enjoys tormenting them, especially with her body, but she has also taken the time to learn all of their names, which struck me because these tinies don't even live with her. She only sees them a couple times per month at most, yet she's on a first name basis with at least some of them.

Not only that, but there's the way that Russel was able to get under her skin or how she was particularly cruel to Dakota because she's the type of naturally pretty girl Ruby will never be. It was the same case with Allen, as she felt like Lola saying he was stronger than her was some sort of challenge. Ruby calls the tinies bugs, but she sure acts like they're people, even if she does love sadistically torturing them. I kind of get the vibe from her that it's less about torturing little people and more about being able to get away with torturing some people just because they're tiny that drives her behavior, if that makes any sense. In other words, I think she would treat a lot of her fellow normals the same way if she could get away with it without consequence.

I loved that show of faith from Allen there near the end of the chapter. He accepted that there was nothing he could do to stop Ruby from doing whatever she wanted to him, so he relied on his caretaker instead. This actually seemed to take Lola by surprise, and I'm not sure if it was more that or her getting a little more teasing in on Allen that led her to tease Allen by pretending that she was going to let Ruby do what she wanted with him. But when it counted, Lola stepped in and saved him. She taught him that there was nothing he could do against the normals earlier in the chapter and then she did what she said she would do, be a caretaker who would protect them, here at the end.

The last segment showed how much this affected her as well, I think. Asking Allen what his hobbies are, showing him some affection, and happily threatening him to never be sad again all seemed to show how happy she was to have fully earned Allen's trust. She'll still fuck with him like everybody else, no doubt, but him displaying that faith in her was special for Lola.

Lastly, I'll end with the beginning! From how careful Olivia was moving Allen to that pillow to the warm smile she flashed him when she came out of the bathroom, this segment was so sweet. Seeing Allen remember the feeling his own parents filled him with and feeling something similar for Olivia was quite heartwarming. And later on, seeing Olivia become so motivated by Allen as to seek out tinies in need, even going to abandoned houses to do so, was kind of powerful. He moved her to try to be a better person, which is hard because she's already such a good person to start with!

Anyway, this was another fantastic chapter!

Author's Response:

Thank you for your thorough review and analysis once again! It's always a pleasure to read your review!

Well, like I said already, it's always my own fun challenge in how far I could go with Lola's mischievousness while keeping her within boundaries. For someone who's proud with her own size over the tinies, of course she won't waste any chance in whatever situation. But it's true, her obliviousness when it comes to the tiny is always her charming point even for me. XD

As for Olivia, let's just say... everything slowly unfolds in time. And of course there will be more Olivia for the future chapters as well.

and oh, no, Ruby is an entirely new character for this story. So, the other GT stories are very loosely connected despite being set in the same universe and I intend to keep each of it standalone. (Besides, GT - Silver Lake is more of a just smutty fun anyway lol) Anyway, aside from sweaty fun by the muscle giantess, I want to present another glimpse in how relentless someone can be to the tinies especially a Silver Lake athlete.

With Allen, just like how I wanted that gentle feeling to be earned with this story, same goes to how Allen have to work hard in earning everything that he wanted. I really wanted to get it right.

Once again, thank you for this good read and thanks for reading!
