"It starts like S4, with Naomi in the car, but this time she’s going back to the place she ran away from just a few hours earlier. Once again, the description of Naomi’s state of mind is fantastic: her fear of leaving her house and her mom, even though her mother has turned her life into a living hell for years. And then there’s the hold Victoria has on Naomi’s life it’s almost like Naomi isn’t even human anymore. She’s treated like an object, used whenever and wherever Victoria wants."

I actually worried about that a lot during final edits… that the openers of S4 and S5 might feel too similar with Naomi in the car again. But I’m glad you picked up on the contrast, because even though they start in the same place, they’re telling two very different stories. One is about escape, the other about being dragged back into something you know will hurt you. Same setting, completely different emotional weight.

"Before she can break down again, Rebecca comforts her. Then comes the question that has haunted Naomi: why did Rebecca send that email? That single question is heartbreaking. In just that moment, we realize that, over time, Naomi has come to feel like she doesn’t deserve better like she’s not even the victim. She even blames herself, thinking she must have done something wrong to her mother. Thankfully, Rebecca is there to explain that she did nothing wrong at all, she is the victim. There’s something a little funny (but also very realistic) about Rebecca calling Naomi a “little girl” who still is one. And once again, I love the size paradox: even though Rebecca is so small in the giantess hand of Naomi, at that exact moment she’s the giantess the one comforting the little crying girl."

This is something I really love playing with in the giantess space… giving tinies huge emotional presence and then letting that clash with their physical vulnerability. Moments like this feel especially electric to me. Tiny Rebecca in Naomi’s palm, completely outmatched in size, yet somehow holding all the emotional authority in the room. The power imbalance is running both directions at once, and that tension is exactly what I hope people feel when they’re reading it.

"Then comes the second question: where did the jacket come from? It was a gift from Annie, meant to hide Rebecca but also to protect Naomi like armor. Sadly, it won’t be enough. Naomi makes a mistake by mentioning Donnica and the fact that Amber and she visited the school—the exact things that triggered Victoria’s explosion of rage in the first place. Surprisingly, though, Victoria doesn’t explode. Instead, she warms up and acts almost like a real mother… but it doesn’t sound right at all."

Yeah, that unease was very intentional. I wanted Victoria’s sudden warmth to feel wrong… like something poisonous wrapped in the language of care. We know what she’s capable of, what she’s already done, so hearing her speak like a loving mother is meant to tighten the knot in your stomach rather than relieve it. I’m really glad you picked up on that tension.

"Thankfully, Naomi has Rebecca to help her, tell her what to do, and comfort her even though Rebecca is so pissed at Victoria for forcing Naomi to apologize when she was the one who got beaten. Sadly, their talk is cut short when Victoria enters the bedroom, full of rage. She knew Naomi was lying, and she was going to make her pay."

I loved this part too. Rebecca being that angry feels so true to her character, you’d expect fear, hesitation, and even self-preservation being in Victoria’s house… and instead she’s just furious. Furious on Naomi’s behalf. It’s fearless, and it’s very, very Rebecca.

"And then comes another uncomfortable moment: the beatdown of Naomi. First, she forces Naomi to show her Rebecca, using violence of course. When Naomi tries to protect Rebecca by lying, Victoria beats her even more without any interruption until Rebecca can’t stand it anymore. No matter her size, she needs to stop this, both for Naomi and for herself, because it reminds her of her own past when her stepfather beat her."

This might be the most Rebecca moment in the entire chapter. She’s literally a bug compared to Victoria, completely powerless… and still, the instant she sees Naomi being hit, she can’t stay silent. She doesn’t calculate the risk. She doesn’t freeze. She just speaks. Fearless, stupidly brave, and utterly herself. How can anyone not love her?

"This time it’s Naomi’s turn to protect her. She begs Victoria not to eat Rebecca, even offering her soul to her mother. And Victoria won’t let this gift go to waste. She starts by demanding that Naomi burn all her black clothes, even the ones not related to her gothic style. That moment is so cruel because it’s not just clothes; it’s who Naomi is her entire identity, her style, her choices in life, and all the effort she put into building her little collection with the tiny amount of money she had. But she has no choice if she wants to save Rebecca."

Yes… this is the moment where Naomi’s love for Rebecca becomes undeniable. We’ve seen Naomi crush tinies without a second thought, but for Rebecca? She’s willing to erase herself. To burn her entire identity just to keep her safe. It’s a horrifying moment, but I also see it as a huge character beat that shows exactly how Naomi sees Rebecca, and how deeply her feelings runs.

"Sadly, that’s not even the worst part we could almost call it the gentle one. Now Victoria demands that she burn her drawings the ones she came back specifically to retrieve. Her entire history, the things that helped her survive, made her proud, and gave her some happiness in the hell Victoria created. She must do it to save Rebecca. And to be even more cruel, Victoria makes her burn them one by one. That part was so hard for me to read. Because they’re not just drawings, they are Naomi: who she was, who she is, and even who she will become. But all that means nothing to Victoria. She just watches her daughter destroy her most important possessions. That’s how cruel she is. By doing that, she erases who her daughter is completely. At this moment, we can’t call her human anymore she’s a monster. Even Rebecca sees it: the flames give Victoria the appearance of the devil."

That last observation really hit home for me. In Rebecca’s eyes, Victoria genuinely becomes something inhuman in that moment; the fire turning her into a figure straight out of hell. For the character, this feels like a point of no return. And yeah… forcing Naomi to burn her drawings one by one was brutal to write. If it was even half as hard to read as it was to put down on the page, then I completely understand why it stuck with you.

"After finishing annihilating her daughter, it’s time to play with Rebecca. So, she takes her to her bedroom, and damn, the work on the descriptions is incredible again: the bedroom, Victoria’s body, her face, the comparison with Donnica, the fact that she could look like her in other circumstances but no she’s nothing but a mess. Even the way she gets into bed, all these little details make is even more disturbing. Then it’s time to play, and the fact that she forces Rebecca to have an orgasm is so cruel. She shows that she owns her, that she’s taken even her free will. She demonstrates that Rebecca isn’t human anymore, she’s nothing but a tool to please Victoria."

I agree… having Victoria coax an orgasm out of Rebecca felt almost crueler than straightforward domination. It’s manipulative in a deeper way, using Rebecca’s own body against her. That moment was meant to show a different, more intimate kind of darkness in Victoria, and to set an ominous tone for what this captivity really means.

"In conclusion, a fantastic segment inside a fantastic (but really hard-to-read) chapter. First, I want to say once again that everything is perfect: the descriptions, the work on Naomi’s and Rebecca’s feelings, Victoria’s reactions, and the cruelty. We’ve had a lot of cruel moments in the story before (just like in the last segment), but nothing compares to this. I also really appreciate that you show there are things way worse than violence. From an outside perspective, violence might seem the worst, but it can heal with time. When your mind is broken, though, it can’t be fixed, it leaves invisible wounds that stay forever. We can see that in Rebecca’s character: even years later, she’s still haunted by the memory of her stepfather beating her and her mother. Thanks again for your amazing work. Can’t wait to read chapter 39. I really hope Victoria will finally face the sword of justice in that one."

This chapter definitely got very real, and I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive about how it would land. But ultimately, I think it added far more than it took away. These characters feel whole enough to deserve moments this raw, even if they’re hard to sit with. Hopefully we don’t see too many more scenes like this… but when they do happen, they matter.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review, and yes, here’s hoping Victoria finally gets what’s coming to her!

New chapter soon  ;)

Everything starts with just one little sentence: Naomi telling her mom she had already told her about her day off to look for a school, and that she should spend this time with her searching for her future school. This detail is interesting because it’s always this kind of tiny situation just a single word that starts it all. Then we can feel Victoria completely losing it, throwing all the frustrations of her life onto her daughter, especially the fact that Donnica is ignoring her.

I love that you caught this! I really wanted to capture how sudden and almost whimsical these outbursts can be… how something so small can spark something so huge. I tried to mirror that with the ending as well, letting it fade out just as randomly as it began. It rises fast and disappears just as quickly, and I think that unpredictability makes Victoria’s rage even more unsettling.

Something really interesting is the fast change in Victoria’s behavior. It’s exactly what happens in real life: someone can speak normally one moment, and then just explode. This time, Victoria goes from crying about her current situation to destroying everything in her rage again. Naomi becomes scared for her own life, but Victoria “only” destroys a mirror in Naomi’s bedroom. This part is really powerful because the bedroom is supposed to be a sanctuary, a place where you feel safe. By destroying things there, she desecrates that space, making sure Naomi has no place left to feel safe in the house.

Yes! I’m so happy that came across… the speed of that emotional shift was really important to me. And you’re absolutely right about the bedroom. It mattered a lot that Victoria invaded Naomi’s “safe space” and tore it apart, smashing the mirror and the nightstand. I wanted it to feel like Victoria was inescapable, like there was nowhere Naomi could retreat to anymore.

Then comes the most difficult part: Naomi’s internal monologue when she sees her reflection in the mirror. We can feel her starting to think she is wrong, and it’s probably the hardest section. It shows how Victoria or any parent who is violent toward their child takes a part of the child’s soul. They slowly make you believe it’s all your fault.

This really was one of the hardest things I’ve had to write in the whole segment. You describe it perfectly, Victoria is trying to take part of Naomi’s soul, and in many ways she already has. We see that in how Naomi constantly blames herself for things that were never her fault.

I also really like how you handle Naomi when she sees Annie asleep in her bedroom, blaming herself for it while she was the one going through hell for four days. This feeling of guilt is so real and so sad—she did nothing wrong at all and still blames herself for everything.

Yes! That moment was meant to underline exactly how deeply the abuse has affected Naomi. She even manages to blame herself for Annabel being exhausted and passed out. And you’re exactly right… she did nothing wrong at all. All she did was survive.

And damn, I loved this moment so much: Naomi’s realization, her misunderstanding of the whole situation, the fact that she believes she doesn’t deserve kindness at all from anyone. The moment both women look at each other is so wholesome—they don’t need to speak to understand the pain they both feel from violence. And when Rebecca asks Naomi if she is okay and Naomi starts to cry, telling her “no,” it’s perfect.

I’m really happy to hear you loved this moment so much, because it meant a lot to me, too. In many ways it might be the most important beat of the whole chapter; the point where these characters truly connect. I also love it from a narrative perspective: Rebecca going against Amber’s wishes, following her heart, and sending that email is ultimately what saves her here. If she hadn’t, she might have been squashed under Naomi’s foot. Moments like that are some of my favorite things to write.

Then Annie arrives, and this moment is absolutely perfect. I loved how natural she is no more breaker, no more control, just her raw emotions. It’s lovely to see Annie like that, realizing how important Naomi is to her. She is not just her apprentice but way more than that she is a member of her family, even if they don’t share the same blood. Annie’s pure rage is also interesting; it’s a good parallel with Rebecca, who stays calm and composed.

I think this scene really reframes Annabel’s breakdown as something healthy. She collapsed into bed completely shattered, but in that moment she also saw everything clearly, especially how much she truly loved Naomi. So when she saw her again, she followed her heart with no masks, no personas, no hesitation… just pure joy and love.
And I’m glad you noticed the contrast between her and Rebecca. Annabel really is a big softy at heart… well, at least if you aren’t one of her “inventory.”  >:D

The moment Naomi says she loves Rebecca is so wholesome. We can feel, with just that little sentence, how important this tiny email was for Naomi. It may look like nothing, but for a while it was her only light in the infinite darkness of her life. It’s another example of perfect writing because it’s so real—when you’re in a very dark place, these little actions mean the world. Knowing someone cares and thinks about you is worth more than anything. A little detail I also enjoyed is when Annie looks at Rebecca more closely and realizes she is not like every other tiny she has broken before.

Agreed completely. That moment was meant to feel wholesome and beautiful, and I think it’s the point where we truly know Rebecca is safe (at least safe with Annabel!) It signals a shift, an acceptance of Rebecca into this group of characters.
And yes, that final line from Annabel was very deliberate foreshadowing that Rebecca was more than she appeared. Much more, as we eventually discover in the back half of the segment.

After that, it’s time for Naomi to tell her story to both women. I’m so impressed by that moment—everything is perfect. You describe the fear, the struggle, and the reactions of both Annie and Rebecca fantastically. We can feel how important Naomi is to them, but for different reasons: for Rebecca, it’s a mirror of her own past, and she wants to save Naomi like her own mom saved her back then; for Annie, it’s simply love she wants to protect Naomi like the mother Naomi deserved. Something perfect is also Naomi saying she needs days to think and that maybe things will get better. It’s so realistic when someone has that much control over you like Victoria does, it’s incredibly hard to free yourself. But Naomi is not alone now; she has two amazing women ready to fight for her.

I’m really glad you noticed all of that. Naomi’s doubts and moments of hesitation were important to include, because I wanted to show how deeply that abusive mindset takes hold. And I love that you pointed out how Rebecca and Annabel approach Naomi from two completely different emotional directions… that was something I enjoyed exploring as well. I’m very happy with how this scene ultimately played out.

Then, with only her bravery, Rebecca tells Naomi to go get them. I enjoyed the conflict inside Naomi’s head so much it’s so hard to finally escape her mom but leave behind the most important things in her life, or to take the risk and go back to get them. The parallel with Rebecca’s own past is brilliant: she was the one who gave her own mom the strength to leave, and now she does the same with Naomi. That made me love Rebecca even more, she is such an incredible character.

Thank you so much for this. I really wanted Rebecca’s emotions to shine through here and to make it clear where her drive was coming from. Her own history of abuse and trauma is what fuels her need to help Naomi, and I think scenes work best when we can truly feel that inner fire pushing a character forward. I’m thrilled it landed that way for you.
And I always love hearing appreciation for Rebecca…she really is the best  :)

After that, it’s time for Naomi to rest a bit before having to face the monster again. So we’re only with Rebecca and Annie again. But everything has changed now Annie doesn’t want to break her anymore because she doesn’t need to at all. Rebecca is a natural slave, a tiny born to be a slave to empower the women around her the opposite of giantesses like Donnica, who are natural goddesses. I loved it; it’s so well done. I also loved the fact that Rebecca is exceptional among tinies, but that makes me ask: is Trevor also some kind of exceptional tiny? It would be interesting to discover. Then comes the moment Annie makes Rebecca bow just by asking her damn, it’s really hot. I loved it, and the slow realization of Rebecca during the whole conversation is astonishing. The slow rhythm you chose for this moment is perfect. I also loved Annie in it she was the one comforting Rebecca, telling her she is special and important. I love their new relationship, even if I don’t really enjoy when she calls her “slave.” I hope in the future she will call her by her name or nickname. And finally, this segment ends with Annie back in the game, ready to work, and Rebecca resting inside the robe pocket of Annie, surrounded by her lovely smell.

I was honestly wondering how people would react to Rebecca’s revelation and the idea that she’s special, so seeing you say you loved it is amazing to read. I was a little nervous about that shift in the narrative, but your reaction makes me feel like it really worked.

I’m also really glad that whole sequence clicked for you… the realization, the conversation, and everything around it. I wanted a genuine SMUT moment there, so hearing that you found it sexy is great to hear.

That scene actually went through a lot of fine-tuning and rewrites. It needed the right rhythm and pacing so it could land as both an important reveal and a hot, intimate moment, so I’m thrilled it managed to do both for you.

And who knows… maybe Annie will come up with her own nickname for Rebecca at some point  ;)

In conclusion, an incredible segment. I enjoyed everything you nailed Naomi so well. It’s so realistic; we really feel her pain and every reflex a victim has. The opposition between Annie and Rebecca is great we can feel both want to help Naomi in their own way. The parallels with Rebecca’s past are interesting too, and the “natural slave” part is great. It’s funny (and a bit ironic) to see how easily she accepts it while they spend days trying to break her. Now, time to review S5… more Victoria yes………

This wasn’t always the easiest segment to write, but it also contained some of the most tender and meaningful moments in the story so far. I’m really glad both the light and the dark aspects came through for you.
Unfortunately the next segment doesn’t have quite as many bright spots (it’s a tough one!) but at least once you get through it you’ll be right on the doorstep of the next chapter.

Thanks as always for such a thoughtful and detailed review. I really do appreciate them every time!

"One thing I really enjoy is the parallel with S2: the most difficult part for Rebecca isn’t the prison itself or even the smell—it’s the fact that Annie completely ignores her, as if she’s not even human anymore. And that’s what pisses her off the most. Another interesting detail is how Rebecca actually feels more comfortable when Annie is in the office. She has a routine again and can estimate the time of day. That’s a fantastic touch because, in real-world prisons, completely disorienting someone by removing any sense of time is a recognized form of torture. It adds even more reality and cruelty to Rebecca’s situation."

YES!

This was absolutely one of Annabel’s deliberate methods. It wasn’t just about keeping Rebecca imprisoned, it was about stripping away her sense of self entirely… ignoring her, erasing her, reducing her to nothing more than lint between her toes.

…unfortunately for Annabel, it didn’t go exactly as planned.

"Something I also loved so much is the escape. You describe it in such an epic way, while in reality it’s just a tiny girl escaping from ripped nylons. The details about the TV are great too just the fact that Annie turns it on was so powerful for Rebecca. It’s the kind of little thing that adds so much. It helps us realize how the most basic things become overwhelming for the tiny, and how difficult it is not just because of the giantess’s pressure."

Haha yeah, that contrast is one of my absolute favorite things to write in this space. What’s epic, desperate, and life-or-death for a tiny can be completely mundane for a giant. I really tried to put that on full display here… Annabel lounging comfortably, feet propped up, while Rebecca is fighting for her life to pry herself free from those giant toes.

I’m genuinely thrilled you called this out, because that exact disconnect is what I was aiming for  ;)

"Something interesting in this segment is also that both characters are in their own prisons. For Rebecca it’s literal—she’s trapped inside Annie’s nylons and shoes. For Annie it’s more of a mental prison she created herself by taking on responsibilities she couldn’t manage. Thanks to that, the power dynamic shifts: Rebecca regains strength by witnessing Annie’s weakness, while Annie loses energy because the one thing she believed she could control breaking tiny Rebecca has been a failure. No matter how many tinies she has broken before, this one is different. While Rebecca keeps her head above water, Annie is completely drowned by all her responsibilities. It’s an interesting parallel between the two women: in theory, looking at the overall situation, Annie should be in complete control… but she’s not."

That’s a fantastic read, and very much intentional. I really wanted Rebecca’s physical struggle to mirror Annabel’s mental one. Despite Rebecca’s size and circumstances, she’s somehow managing to endure… while Annabel, with all her power and scale, is buckling under the weight of everything piling up around her.

And yeah, Annabel absolutely meets her match here. She’s off her game, stretched thin by the office, Naomi absences, and the clock ticking over her head. It does make you wonder how things might have gone if this were “prime” Annabel, with all the time and focus she usually has…

"On a funnier note, I really loved the little moments with Juliette deliberately making Annie’s time in charge even more difficult. The little war between those two is quite fun—they’re almost the same character and I hope to see more of them in the future."

Yessssss, I’m so happy you noticed this. That little rivalry was one of those background details I loved planting and wasn’t sure how much it would land.

Annabel and Juliette have been butting heads since day one at the firm, and watching them subtly needle each other is endlessly fun for me. Though… I do wonder how far that tension can escalate before something BIG finally breaks loose.

"After that, Annie continues by bringing Rebecca into the workshop to carry on her mission for Donnica and her family. At least that’s what she tells herself—while the truth is that she’s just trying to escape this terrible reality she’s facing right now. Everything is going wrong and she doesn’t know how to fix anything."

I worked really hard to show Annabel spiraling in this chapter, so I love seeing you articulate it so clearly. She starts the segment almost floating above it all, cold and distant, ignoring Rebecca… but as it goes on, it becomes painfully obvious how much is eating at her.

That descent was meant to drive the entire flow of the segment, so it’s incredibly satisfying to hear that it came through.

"Another things I really loved about this segment is all the work on the psychological aspects of the characters, especially Annie. As a breaker, she says the most important thing is control over emotions… but we see throughout the entire segment that she doesn’t control anything at all. And when she’s consumed by rage, the only winner is Rebecca. Even when Annie shows her precious ruler and uses it to scare her, it’s still useless the tiny woman stands strong, challenging the giantess with her gaze. This tiny woman will not surrender."

Exactly. Annabel completely loses it here. For someone who preaches emotional control and indifference, watching her unravel so thoroughly is almost ironic. And you’re right, the more she rages, the more Rebecca gains ground.

It definitely raises the question of whether there’s something more going on with Rebecca, something innate that disrupts control itself. There’s something about her that provokes desire, fixation… and a loss of composure.

I wonder what it is…

"The moment when she sees the dirty cage is a cruel reminder of Naomi’s absence, she’s the one in charge of cleaning them. Moments like that are fantastic: those little details that make you remember someone you miss."

Yeah, this was the moment where the real truth finally breaks through. Up until then, Annabel has been framing Naomi’s absence through work, duty, and loyalty to Donnica… but here it’s unmistakable. It’s worry. Fear. Love.

That single detail is what exposes what’s actually driving her descent this entire segment.

"Then comes my favorite part of the segment: Annie’s breakdown. It’s so well written I loved it. Her realizing that everything is about Naomi, that even with all her efforts to improve Naomi’s life, it’s useless because she can’t protect her from Victoria… it’s so powerful. We can feel all the love Annie has for Naomi. And even if we learn the full truth in segment 4, it’s a shared feeling with us readers. We would just love to take Naomi in our arms and tell her everything will be okay… but we’re as powerless as Annie."

Hearing this makes me ridiculously happy. That breakdown went through so many rewrites because it had to land perfectly… it’s the emotional core of the entire chapter. This is the moment where Annabel finally sees the truth for herself: it’s always been about Naomi.

Her love, her helplessness, the absolute heartbreak of knowing she can’t protect her… I’m thrilled that all of that came through as clearly as you describe.

"And the segment ends with the perfect sentence:"

Haha, you know how much I love my closing lines  :D

Those words were incredibly important to me as part of Annabel’s breakdown and realization, so seeing them singled out always feels great.

"In conclusion, an incredible segment. I really enjoyed the focus on the emotions of both characters, especially Annie—it’s so different from her usual self. The whole chapter revolving around Naomi’s absence is brilliant. Some details are amazing, like the TV one to show Rebecca’s reality, Juliette making things even harder for Annie… this kind of little stuff makes me enjoy the story even more. Also, the mentions of Rebecca’s past with her stepfather (which will come in handy in the next segment) are perfect foreshadowing. And of course, that perfect ending when you describe Annie’s feelings in such an accurate way, plus the opposition between the prisons both characters are in… just great. Now time to review probably the two hardest segments of the story so far."

This segment was very much meant to be an emotional (and almost spiritual) journey for Annabel. A stripping away of everything until she’s forced to confront what truly matters to her. I’m really glad that sense of vulnerability and growth is what you took from it.

And I especially love that you noticed Rebecca’s memories of her stepfather. That was very intentional foreshadowing, quietly priming what’s coming next.

Truly an amazing review, you nailed so much of what I was trying to do here. And yes… you’re about to hit a couple of very tough segments. I don’t envy you at all, I had to write them, and live in them, more times than I’d like to admit.

…but I can’t wait to read what you think!

“Second segment of this incredible chapter this time we leave Annie and Rebecca to spend some quality time with Amber and Donnica, and I have to say I’ve been waiting for this for a while. It was worth every single minute.”

I’m really glad to finally have delivered some proper mother–daughter time with Donnica and Amber. I told you it was coming  ;)

“Something really enjoyable is the relationship between Donnica and Amber. It’s so well done on so many aspects. We can feel how much effort Donnica puts into making things work with her daughter, even learning from her own mistakes like the one she made during the Crownridge College visit. We can feel how important it is for her to truly connect with Amber, and seeing her be a mother to Amber is fantastic. On a more personal note, I really loved this softer, kinder side of Donnica for example, her phone call with Trevor in the previous chapter.”

I really liked showing Donnica growing from her past mistakes. First we saw everything blow up at Crownridge, and afterward she was genuinely reflective and regretful about the choices she made. So it felt earned to show her here actively trying to do better. To me, it’s a natural progression of the character rather than a sudden shift.

And yeah, we’ve definitely been seeing a softer side of Donnica lately… although that softness might harden up a bit once the two tinies enter the scene haha

“A little detail I loved is Amber being anxious about the smell of her feet. It’s interesting because before, they wouldn’t have cared at all. We can clearly see the influence of Rebecca and Scarlett here. But when she mentions it to her mother, Donnica simply tells her it’s okay and that she shouldn’t worry about it… and Amber listens.”

It’s sort of the same thing happening with Amber here like Donnica above, isn’t it? She’s grown since the start of the story… but at the same time, Donnica telling her not to worry about her smelly feet is basically saying that little people’s opinions don’t matter. So while Amber is maturing in one direction, her mother is subtly pulling her back in another. That was something I really wanted to set up here: yes, Amber is repairing her relationship with her mom, but it comes at the expense of her belief in tiny rights.

“And then the two tinies arrive and introduce themselves: another mother-daughter duo, Branda and Nicole. I really enjoyed that because, at the end of the day, with a bit less luck, it could have been the opposite Amber and Donnica doing the nails of Branda and Nicole. But sadly, for this tiny duo, the coin didn’t land on the good side for them, so they have to work at the feet of our two beloved Goddesses. I also loved the detail about their faces and clothes the perfect contrast with the other duo, who wear fancy pajamas that probably cost more than these two tiny women could earn in their entire lives, even working as tiny pedicurists forever.”

That’s a great point. These tinies were probably once big themselves (though some are born small), and it really highlights how cruel and arbitrary fate can be in this world. If the coin lands the wrong way, like you said, you might end up under a giant foot. That kind of whimsical, unfair fate (and the humiliation that comes with it) is something I find incredibly erotic to write about.

And I love your observation about the silk pajamas. The idea that Donnica and Amber are casually wearing something worth more than Branda’s and Nicole’s entire lives combined is so true… and kind of hot!

“And after that, everything becomes even more perfect for me as a foot lover: all the descriptions of the smell, the power of it, the humiliation of the two tiny women — it’s fantastic. Also, Amber being a bit scared adds some cuteness; we see her getting worried for her mom, but of course Donnica risks absolutely nothing. She has enough connections in this hotel to do whatever she wants.”

As a fellow foot lover, this was incredibly fun to write! I love hearing that it landed as perfectly for you. I’ve been waiting a long time to do a tiny pedicure scene, and this just felt like the ideal moment for it. The situation, the power dynamics, the characters… it all lined up naturally.

“Something I loved is that Branda is more pissed off by the fact that the two giantesses completely ignore her and Nicole than by the work itself. It’s so interesting. I’ve always felt that this is probably the worst part of slavery: being ignored, seen as nothing more than a tool — like you mean nothing, you’re not even human anymore. I loved that the story brings this out. It’s something a lot of giantess stories miss: the worst part about being shrunk isn’t just the punishment — it’s the complete dehumanization that comes with it. And we see this a lot in DAW.”

Yes! This is something I absolutely love exploring in this fetish space… not just the loss of agency, but the loss of recognition. Becoming a literal object to a being so vastly larger than you. I didn’t even realize this was something many giantess stories miss; to me, it feels like one of the richest aspects of the dynamic. So I’m really happy DAW delivers on that for you.

“After that, we still get a bit of mixed feelings from Amber. She asks her mom if it’s okay to make them do that even if they hate it, but Donnica tells her it’s simply their job. The wine and the good moment eventually make Amber agree with her mom. This is something I loved a lot about this segment: Amber having such mixed feelings, yet still going all in to enjoy the moment with her mother.”

Yeah, that was really the heartbeat of this segment. Amber’s belief in tiny rights quietly eroding under the warmth of reconnecting with her mother. I’m really glad you picked up on that, because that internal conflict is exactly what I wanted readers to be sitting with.

“After that, there’s still time for more pedicure work, and sadly for the tiny duo, Donnica isn’t ready to let them go. She makes them do and redo as many pedicures as she pleases and she is not easily pleased.”

Haha, nope… she definitely isn’t. That poor tiny mother–daughter duo ended up slaving away for hours. We’ve seen a softer Donnica recently, but it was also fun to let “goddess Donnica” come out again and remind us who she really is  >:)

“Damn, this moment even if I’m not the biggest fart enjoyer it’s perfect. From the description of Donnica’s ass to the fart itself and how powerful it is (the supernova comparison is incredible, I loved it so much), to the description of the impact inside the box it adds even more humiliation and despair to the situation of our little pedicure crew. The description of the duo’s suffering shows just how powerless tinies are: a single fart from a powerful woman can ruin their entire world, and Donnica could have even killed them if they had stayed on the box just a little longer. That’s how powerful she is compared to them.”

I loved the supernova comparison too, so I’m really happy to see you call that out  :D

I wouldn’t call myself a dedicated fart guy either, but I do think it’s such a strong tool for humiliation when it fits naturally. I don’t go out of my way to write them… the opportunities just present themselves. And honestly, the way you broke down why it worked so well was incredible, so thank you for that.

“They also have a talk about the future of Amber and Donnica comes up with an idea Amber already had and wanted to cheer with her mom, turning what could have been an uncomfortable discussion into something easy for both. It shows once again Donnica’s will to make things work with Amber and be a better mother than before. After that, we get a wholesome moment: Amber finally agreeing to spend one more week with Donnica, making her so happy. They also talk about why the tiny girls’ clickers didn’t work, and we learn that most of the systems use “password” as the password, making it ridiculously easy for any giantess who knows this little fact to disarm them. Of course, Donnica knows. It’s so funny… but also sad, because it’s the same kind of thing that happens in our world. And finally, this fantastic segment ends with Amber thanking her mom for that moment.”

One thing I was really curious about is whether people would think about how Amber extending her trip actually puts Rebecca in a more precarious situation. At this point, we know Annabel has her, and there’s this underlying question of when (or if) Amber will return to save her. I was hoping this segment would create mixed feelings: happiness over Amber reconciling with her mother, but dread because we know it’s happening at Rebecca’s expense… something that gets even worse as the chapter continues.

“In conclusion, a perfect segment with Amber and Donnica. I’m really happy to finally have one I asked for it so many times, and you gave me this masterpiece. Thank you! Now I’m just waiting for the moment Amber will tell Donnica about the abuse she faced in her past. To speak more about the segment in general, the things I enjoyed most are Donnica (so wholesome), the huge amount of effort she puts into making things work with Amber, learning from her mistakes and not repeating them. I also loved her duality throughout the entire segment: the kind mom with Amber vs. the dominant, cruel giantess toward the tiny women. As I said every time, the attention to little details makes it so much better. The quality of the descriptions is once again fantastic. And the character of Amber, who never really knows what to do or say, is great. We can feel she’s caught between two very different worlds: her mom who wants to rule over tinies, and Rebecca & Scarlett who look for equity between both sizes. She’s at a crossroads I can’t wait to see what she’s going to do. Now that this segment is done, time to go back to our sweet Rebecca during these really difficult times, far from the amazing time her girlfriend just had.”

I was genuinely excited for you to read this segment, especially since I know you’ve been asking for it for so long. Hearing you call it a masterpiece honestly means a lot. I had an absolute blast writing it… Donnica and Amber getting pedicures from two unwilling tiny women is a scenario I’ve had in my head for a long time, and I’m really happy with how it came together.

And yeah, Donnica’s duality is on full display here. That contrast between caring mother and cruel goddess added a lot of tension, and it really fueled the erotica as well.

As for Amber, you nailed it. This is very much a battle for her soul, and we’re starting to see the scales tip toward Donnica’s worldview. Whether that’s just a single night of connection, or something much more lasting… is still an open question.

Amazing review, man. I can’t wait to see what you think of the next three segments!

"This one begins with Annabel completely drowned by her temporary position, and I have to say I loved your approach to it, focusing on all the little details that make it so difficult. From an outside view, we might think the hardest part is dealing with the huge case, but no, it’s all the petty office conflicts."

Yeah, I loved that you picked up on that. Donnica’s office might be the place where some of the worst anti-tiny laws are pushed, but underneath all of that it’s still just an office… full of petty squabbles and rivalries. They might see themselves as goddesses, but at the end of the day they’re still just catty women.

"Soon after, we realize what’s really disturbing Annie is not that meaningless conflict in the office is the fact Naomi isn’t there. Shitoria learned she had a week off from school and wanted to keep Naomi home with her, and Annie knows that can only mean one thing, Naomi will go through hell again."

LOL at you using the name “Shitoria,” but great catch on Naomi. Even as far back here in segment 1, we see Naomi’s absences having a real effect on Annabel… even if she doesn’t consciously realize it yet. That thread becomes painfully clear as the chapter goes on.

"After that, she tries to focus on something more fun for her: the breaking of our sweet Rebecca with her potent feet. And I’ll say it again, the work on the descriptions is, another time, stunning. All the details on the aspect and the stench of Annabel’s feet is perfect; it feels like the smell is alive, like a monster waiting to eat Rebecca. But no matter the stink and the dirtiness, it was useless, Rebecca was still standing strong she have been through so much in her life to surrender to a weak woman Like Annabel who have only her size for herself."

You can say it again and again… I’ll always appreciate praise for the descriptive work, because so much time and effort goes into it :)

And yeah, Rebecca might be small, but she’s survived some huge things in her life. Annabel definitely had her work cut out for her here.

"I really enjoyed the moment Rebecca realizes she fucked up, it’s made me smile. It feels like those moments when you insult someone stronger: you feel powerful in the instant, and then suddenly realize you fucked up really bad. That’s exactly what happened to Rebecca."

I loved seeing this side of Rebecca again. She always had a sharp mouth when she and Amber were clashing too, and that same trait keeps getting her into deeper trouble. Probably not the best habit to have when you’re surrounded by giants…

But it definitely makes for interesting reading!

"In conclusion, a great opener for what’s coming in this chapter. I really enjoyed the struggle of Annie, all the descriptions of her feet and their stench, the rebellious Rebecca who can’t keep her mouth shut for her own safety, and of course Naomi. I loved the fact that it’s Naomi who makes things so difficult for Annie, even as she tries to focus on Donnica. But I feel like she’ll realize soon that someone may be more important than her goddess mother, someone who could really need her help."

Oh, I’d say there’s definitely another person in Annabel’s life who’s becoming almost as important to her as her goddess-mother… her little goth apprentice. And we’re going to see just how important she is in the coming segments (and chapters!)

Thanks as always for the review, man. This is a heavy chapter, so I’m really looking forward to your deep dive into the rest of it.

Haha, I’m so happy you enjoyed Donnica’s big moment with her ass! She really let those two tiny women have it. I’m having a lot of fun writing scenes like that, so it’s great to hear they’re landing with you guys.

As for Rebecca, I’ve always considered her a co–main protagonist alongside Trevor, but she’s ALWAYS had the “true north” moral compass of the story... and that alone makes her incredibly easy to gravitate toward.

In fact, she’s so strongly morally aligned that even women like Annabel and Naomi can come off as heroes when they’re aligned with Rebecca ;)

Thanks for the feedback as always, man. It really means a lot.

"First, I really enjoyed the little description of the apartment Trevor has inside the estate. It’s hilarious to see such a stark contrast in the same place: cages built into the kitchen where tinies can be crushed, tortured, and forced to live like abused animals, and then there’s this kind of place with tons of comfort and even perfume to make things better for the tiny. I loved it, it really feels like there’s an entire city inside the estate."

Not only is there an entire city inside the estate… there’s a whole kingdom ;)

Building the estate into this sprawling place that can support all these mixed-size relationships, societies, and adventures has been a blast. I can’t wait to show off more of what’s hiding there.

"For Trevor, none of that luxury matters much. He’s trapped in his head with everything that’s happened to him, especially what Kassandra told him about Helena, Celine, and herself. The fact that he genuinely cares about Kassandra is beautiful, she needs someone to listen to her in this dark time, even if she doesn’t fully realize it herself."

Yes! I loved finally showing Kassandra needing Trevor… or maybe “letting herself be vulnerable” is the better way to put it. Up to now, she’s always been the one steering the ship, so it felt right to flip that and have her be the one who needs someone. And I think it was nice seeing Trevor actually take that to heart, as we watch him reflect on everything he’s learned.

"Now it’s time for the phone call with the lovely Donnica, and I absolutely loved it. It’s so nice to hear such a joyful tone from her after all the darkness in this segment. It’s refreshing to have someone genuinely happy. I also appreciate that she immediately senses something is off with Trevor, you can really feel how deeply she loves him, even if she sometimes struggles to express it properly."

Yeah, that was my favorite part about their conversation… Donnica picking up immediately that something was wrong. When someone knows you well enough to sense that just from a phone call, that says a lot. They’re messy, but Trevor and Donnica’s relationship has sturdy legs under it.

"The little tease about “mom-daughter time” is fantastic too, I can’t wait to see their journey and hope their relationship improves. I’m looking forward to seeing the moment when Donnica finally learns the truth about Amber’s past. But that’s for later, so let’s focus on this segment."

Oh, you’ll be seeing plenty of Donnica-and-Amber time soon ;)

"Another great element is Trevor’s inner struggle, we can really feel how rough the last few days have been for him. Putting him through the status-C dilemma is brilliant. I love the evolution: at first he wanted the status-C as a gift to reassure Donnica and help heal her wounds, but now he needs it too. He needs to feel her protection. It’s such an interesting development, early in the story Trevor was a bit reckless, ignoring the dangers, but now he realizes his life is far more fragile than he thought, and after his talk with Kassandra he understands how quickly everything can change and how much he needs to feel loved."

I love that you pointed this out! It felt like the right moment for Trevor to finally see Status-C from a place of vulnerability instead of power. It complicates how he views his own size, and it shows him reaching for love and protection when he’s mentally at a low point… even if, like you said, Donnica’s version of “protection” isn’t always perfectly placed.

"Damn, I feel bad for Trevor. The guy has been punished by Severina, locked in a cage, forced to spend time with disgusting tinies, farted and peed on by Lorelei, learned the heartbreaking truth about Kassandra, Helena, and Celine, and now he has yet another issue with Rebecca. Let my guy breathe for God’s sake, lol."

Trevor might finally get a little downtime next time we see him… maybe!

"So he has to find another solution. After some thinking and blaming himself for not protecting Rebecca better and making sure she was truly safe, he comes up with one even if it’s far from ideal. It’s the only option: call the devil herself, Annabel."

I really loved how this worked out! I think most readers assumed Annabel and Rebecca would cross paths again... but what I enjoyed was making it happen because she was asked back. Literally invited into the room with Rebecca. It’s a small detail, but I love moments like that (just like when Donnica asked Annabel to take Trevor into the workshop... again we assumed that Trevor might end up in the workshop but having it done that way, Donnica asking, was a neat twist). Those little setups are some of my favorite things to play with while writing.

"With that, we leave Trevor and switch to Rebecca, who’s been waiting for Scarlett, who should have been there hours ago. Before diving into this part, I want to say I loved the echo of the first segment. It’s really interesting to put Rebecca in a similar situation, but with an outcome that will be way different and far more uncomfortable for her."

Great catch! I absolutely wrote those two segments to mirror each other… the warm, hopeful anticipation of Scarlett against the almost predatory dread of Annabel’s arrival. I’m glad that contrast landed for you.

"On a more personal note, I’m happy to finally get a stinky-foot moment with Annabel, even if I’d have preferred that moment with another tinies instead of the sweat Rebecca .I loved how you showed the massive power imbalance, just the smell of Annabel’s feet is almost enough to make Rebecca surrender."

Haha… I was actually thinking about you when I wrote that. I knew you’d been waiting for Annabel foot content, but also that Rebecca is one of your favorites, so I figured this might hit you in a weird place.

But yeah, finally letting Annabel kick off her shoes and unleash those toes was so fun to write… and our star Breaker may not be done yet!

"Rebecca tries the same tactic she used on Scarlett in segment one, standing her ground and asking her to leave, but she’s not facing the same giantess. One is sweet like sugar, a goddess of kindness; the other is far crueller and more dominant. Annabel isn’t just going to walk away. She’ll take Rebecca with her, not gently in her purse after making sure she’s safe and sound, no—she’ll put her inside one of her shoes, right under her stinky foot, forcing her to breathe nothing but that smell. And that’s how this incredible chapter ends."

The big takeaway for me was that Rebecca refused to be bullied like the first time. She remembered exactly how Annabel made her feel, and it pissed her off. She stood her ground.

Unfortunately for her, she’s still tiny, so there’s only so much ground she can hold before she’s shoved in a shoe… but hey, the defiance is real!

"In conclusion: a fantastic segment. I can’t wait to see what Annabel does with Rebecca, though I don’t think it will be that awful. I even suspect they might get along, especially since they’re the only two people who truly cared about Naomi. I’d love to see them become friends, gossip about Trevor, or maybe even fall for each other to complicate things further and put Rebecca between the possessive Amber, the kind Scarlett, and the crazy Annabel. This last segment makes it clear it’s impossible for Rebecca to keep living in Donnica’s house like this. Can’t wait to see which direction you choose for her. Also, going back to Trevor’s part, that little phone call with Donnica was amazing a little time to breath before another big change for the story .To wrap up the whole chapter: congratulations again, this one was absolutely fantastic and will change the story forever in so many ways. Can’t wait to read chapter 38 in just over a week. Thanks again, bro, for your work. Love ya."

I’m loving all the theories about what Annabel might do now that she has Rebecca. Things are going to get… interesting next chapter, that’s for sure.

And I’m really glad the Trevor/Donnica phone call stood out to you, that little breather was so fun to write in the middle of everything else crashing down.

…and I don’t think things are getting any less intense from here :0

Thanks as always for the amazing review, it was such a great read, and the next chapter isn’t far off. Soon we find out the fate of tiny Rebecca!
