@Olo
I manage to keep myself largely doing something throughout the day, but at night, when I’m trying to sleep?

There’s a reason so many of my ideas revolve around a sleeping giant.

@foreverlurk sometimes I wish I could tell them but then again they get so flustered that I’m afraid if I whisper these mischievous sweet nothings they’ll go boomMmMm 🌋

Now you know there’s nothing to be intimidated by bc some of us simply want to be intimidated by you ~ 🤭

I wouldn’t mind being squeezed as his stress ball

Gyaaaaa if that isn’t a universal experience for us I don’t know what is ❤

@jody said in There Are Worse Jobs:

There’s an Egyptian/Greek statue wing of the art museum in my hometown and this legitimately used to be my dream job (still is). So many stone hunks… all I needed was one night alone there, alarms deactivated. But alas 😢

Ah, life isn’t fair 😠

For all we know, miss Eleonora Pucci is “one of us” and is living the dream 😆

But seriously… that statue is 17 feet tall? I never thought.

@jody so I gotta ask… Zildjian, Sabian or Paiste? 😉

Played drums in an indie band in my early 20s, couple albums, couple tours. Crazy but fun times.

Welcome! 😁

@The-Big-G The original Twilight Zone episode featured a woman living alone in a remote farmhouse terrorized by tiny alien astronauts. The woman was played by Agnes Moorehead, later the mother-in-law on Bewitched.

@i-am-insane Sure, post it here. Just use the “Furry” tag (no “scaly” tag, but close enough).

@tinytina I apologize for the late reply work and life gets the best of me. But hey welcome

@foreverlurk Nice render to go with that sentiment:

It depends on their behavior. At 1/32 size is what they awaken after being shrunk and finding themselves utterly naked. If they are very good, they might become a bit bigger in size. Very bad, much tinier like 1/100th of their normal size. Horrid behavior, tinier than that.bolded text

@foreverlurk these are amazing!! Thank you!

Re: the glasses/ contacts. I’ve always imagined my shrinking to actually be done with magic. Even if the contraption looks like tech, because only magic allows me to handle the problems I’d have if just my natural human body shrank: my substantial dental work and IUD would burst through me like huge grenades. No thanks!

Sooo in my stories I magically shrink all the things I would still have on me even if I was “naked”, if I want the shrinking-out-of-clothes trope, if I want it to make a little more logical sense, then the clothing stays too, so maybe the shrinking tech gives wiggle room of an inch or two outside of the skin when it’s selecting matter to shrink. This would keep glasses and clothing intact but not a purse.

Anyway, back to shrinking women problems. Transportation is a big one. If a giant is carrying you, they have to be more careful than someone carrying a raw egg. Or they would need to have a container they prepared for it ahead of time.

Sitting in a chest pocket - assuming the giant is very careful to not bump against things - is really the safest place you could hope for an average guy to have available. Every time I wear a button-up shirt with a chest pocket I think about how it would be perfect for if I ran across a tiny person.

The big hoodie pockets that go across the center of the belly on sweatshirts without zippers would also be cozy. Almost like a kangaroo pouch. Those aren’t very fashionable right now, though.

there’s definitely a type of GTS guys seem to like

I’d cavil at this, too, but this isn’t the venue for a discussion about F/m.

@SmolChlo :vore:

@tiny-ivy YES I absolutely was into Horton Hears a Who as a kid. One of those formative moments for my love of micro.

I think in the Jim Carrey version of the Grinch the movie implies that the whole thing takes place on a snowflake

@wildxpixie
Honestly, that sheer difference in power informs a lot of how a GT/sw dynamic works, and how, in anything close to a ‘fair’ relationship, the giant has to accommodate the sw, make allowances for her, respect her fragility and how delicate she is, that many things that aren’t a threat or obstacle to him may be serious problems for her, while the sw has to acclimate to the fact that they aren’t in control, in many ways.

Sure, she may be in charge, or telling them what to do, or even manipulating him with pleasure until he’s weak in the knees, but the second he just… reaches over and picks her up all of that goes away; they don’t get to choose what happens to them, where they go, anything. It’s all the giant’s choice, and even the fact he’s not making that choice is, in fact, him choosing not to choose; he allows her that control, it’s not something she has herself.

In reminds me about what people say about Superman vs Batman fights, that Superman has to not use all his natural advantages (like just blasting Batman from space or something) to even allow Batman to get to a situation where they fight at all, allowing him to even be able to have a chance to fight. That those big, dramatic fights are still Clack accommodating his strength against Bruce’s frail humanity.
