Valérian et Laureline
-
Just something I found, I guess most of you have seen this classic scif-fi comic from 1968 (no we don’t talk about the 2017 movie
) but someone uploaded a really high quality scan of the first album of the series, La Cité des eaux mouvantes, on Archive.org, which features a very nice SW sequence. Basically this mad scientist wants to test his shrinking device on Laureline (and keep her hostage so that Valérian won’t try any heroics):
Really nice… and did I mention the shrinking is PERMANENT? Sadly, the process is interrupted before it can be completed
, so not only it’s now possible for her to revert back to normal(boo!), and instead of ending up two inches, she’s about 8 inches tall:
I just love how pissed off she is on Valérian’s shoulder
-
Forgot to post my favorite scene, after the machine is destroyed, she’s furious and lamenting “why do these things always happen to girls?!”
. I really love angry tinies.
A last one, not size-related but just because she’s a badass spatio-temporal agent (and a redhead):

Pretty amazing art for 1968, I think artists back then didn’t have the luxury of the internet or much in terms of mainstream size media to study or draw inspiration from.
I love that balanced sitting position on his shoulders, the way she’s holding on to his hair, and the handheld of course.

@foreverlurk aww she’s beautiful! I can only imagine how adorable her angry squeaks must sound. Gotta watch out for those spicy red heads

Yesss! We can only imagine if the shrinking process hadn’t been stopped and she’d have remained two inches tall for the rest of the series.
When they announced the 2017 movie back then I reallllly thought we were going to get some shrunken Cara Delevingne. The title of the movie (“Cité des mille planètes”) was close enough for me to believe they were going by the same storyline.
Sadly, they choose another story, the movie sucked, and I was disappointed (again).

@foreverlurk If we could run power plants on the misplaced optimism of size fantasists, climate change would be solved.

@foreverlurk I literally named a character in my story Post-Punk and Shrunk Laureline because of this specific comic

@foreverlurk fingers crossed we get a live action M/f soon! I heard they’re considering making Baldurs Gate 3 into a film or tv show for Netflix… maybe we’ll finally get to see some sw action

No, wait, seriously?! Crap… we must share a common soul or something, this is getting scary lol. I definitely approve your taste in music, comics, and shrunken/tiny redheads lol.

Live. Action. Baldur’s Gate?! Whaaaaaaat!? I was in COVID brain fog mode for the last few days, how could I miss that news. I can think of a few scenes! The D&D movie had some nice transformations, Doric becoming a mouse still triggered me a bit hehe.

@foreverlurk yes sir!!! I recently found out myself and it’s still just “rumors” at this point but I have high high hopes

@littlest-lily blushing intensifies. Thanks LL🥰
