It took a lot of data-scrubbing but I finally managed to restore an image from the old camera found in Zone B1's time capsule. The contents of the photo turn a lot of what we understand about our history on it's head. I submit this photo as evidence that there was once a time where the world wasn't scaled up to fit women.
As can be seen in the image, there is a woman towering over men as expected. However, the strange part is that the city she is stood in appears to be scaled to fit the tiny men, rather than the woman, The destruction her simple footsteps are causing prove the city is not built with her and her size in mind. This leads us to ask; why?
I have a radical theory to answer this; what if women weren't always so much bigger than men? What if they were only a few foot taller - or even the same size? Though we don't have any solid evidence for this theory, the photo seems to indicate this was the case with its architecture built around only tiny people. Women and men must have co-existed with similar sizes at some point - until women started to grow to their modern-day scale.
This photo must show one of the first women to grow, her new size a novelty to her and the onlookers. They must all be so unaware of the power-shift that was no doubt soon to follow as other women started to grow.
Given our lack of other records from the time, we can only guess that when this 'growth revolution' got into full swing, the changes it brought with it were instigated quickly. There'd have been no way for the men of the world at the time, used to their equality with women (or, dare I even suggest they could have even been the dominant gender? Funny to think about, I know), to resist the giantesses and the status-quo we know today would have been quickly ushered in.
We're still investigating the rest of what was in the time capsule. We're hoping to find more information on what caused this history-changing growth spurt in women. If it is something we can work out it could pave the way for another jump in the evolution of women - then we could put those feeble male 'freedom fighters' in their place for good.
Meta: I cannot see a new photo posted by Kate Fisher and scroll by - its now become compulsion to make her into a giantess at every opportunity. Maybe if I make enough collages, giantess Kate will become reality?
This was an experiment in destruction effects. I don't feel I've ever got them right before, I still don't think they're right but they're better. I made the footprint by merging together two cut-outs of a crater after playing with their scales and perspectives a bit. I added cracks in various places (again with changed perspectives) and blurred them. Then I drew my own smoke and played with the blurriness and opacity to make its presence subtle enough that viewers would barely notice it.
The caption is a bit of a rip on Amazon's new series; The Power. It reminds me of a lot of size-change stories where women start growing and become the dominant gender. Like the book the series is based on, these stories do a great job in exploring the implications of the shift in power dynamics and creates parallels with our male-dominated history. I can't help but think the author of the book its based on read some of those stories and basically swapped out the size-change element for a more generic type of 'power'.
