Slight opinion/observation dump time

General
Just some opinons on some things i have seen over my time here, just a couple of them. Nothing too serious here so dont worry, and if you have contrary ideas or knowledge let me know. I just wanted to put this down on paper or keys so i wouldnt forget this stuff.
On Growth/Size based stuff:
I've noticed that a lot of the Stories, art, and other such things don't really do a whole lot with environmental stuff when they get going. Usually they will just have 'building a is this big compared to person A' Sort of descritpions if any at all, and usually shrug it off. I really like it when i can see a giant begin to interact with things in ways no one else could. Staring in through higher windows with ease, concrete and asphalt cracking and leaving behind footprints are all good staples, but id love to see more stuff like 'using cars as toys' or 'these trees make perfect back scratchers now that im this size' sorts of things... and clothes are another big one, since there are a lot of opportunities to describe just how one last piece of armor or jewelry can hold on for just a liiiiiitttle bit longer. I also vote this goes for the opposite as well, since size down storries can bea lot of fun if you interact with things. Constantly hooking and hiking up your clothes for a slow burn, or using them as ways to traverse or obstacles in quicker ones. Ladders quickly and hastily made in desperation, foods and other objects becoming more or less useful as size goes up or down... at least, that is my two bits
On Vore:
I have seen a surprising lack of Pred 1st person, or even 2nd person sort of views. THere are plenty of prey in that regard, usually having it be a 'run from the pred oops you got caught' scenario, but its rare i get to put myself in the shoes of the one who is eating others. I get that it can be a little hard, and can seem daunting, but its a bit frustrating to have such a substantial ammount of being 'prey' in 1st and 2nd perosn but so very rarely do you see preds. Its so much fun to be able to put yourself in these scenarios, and since you even have the opportunity to make it a series of things and events, that feeling of being in control with these things is even more fun. This goes doubly for the videogames and Visual novel type stuff i see around for more vore based things. You are almost always going to wind up being the one who's bullied, eaten, or stuck in a situation where you are running for your life. Id love to see more choose your own adventure type stuff where you get to turn the tables. Maybe you still have the risk of getting caught and nommed, or having your prey escape, but id still love to be able to be the big bad of a story more often than the one who's running ajway.
I might add more at some point, or do a sequel to this, but this is just me writing my opinions down
