Go-to sizey daydream?
-
My daydreams tend to be about scale (how big my giants going to be), and because that involves a lot of comparison to real things, they are driven by where I’m at in the moment. So, one thing I miss about work since returning to study is driving to and from the field (up to 6 hours some days), which not only gave me space and time to daydream, but a lot of inspiration. I worked in remote areas, desert mostly, and the vastness of the landscape was like a canvas:
I’d picture giants wandering through; curious ones coming up to the road to pick up a car and inspect the inside - cars and caravans were also easy targets for establishing scale. I’ve thought about giant farmers or landowners, miners, rangers, or even contractors/construction workers who help out in big infrastructure projects (phone towers, powerlines, wind turbines, etc. - also used for scale). Alternatively, tiny people who live in the sand dunes, the farmer’s house, or the mining camps - when surrounded by big mostly dudes at these camps, it was very easy to get caught up in different scenarios, especially as places with lots of food, water and shelter in harsh environments (though the camps themselves could also be perilous for tiny wanderers).
When I’m back in the city, you’ll often find me craning my neck up at the buildings; wondering how a giant would compare, height wise; if our streets are wide enough to accommodate a giant walking through, and the consequences for if they’re too narrow. There are more types of vehicles and infrastructure as points of reference too - whether they remain in tact in my daydream depends on my mood/scenario.

All that scale talk makes me remember that sometimes I like to image that, instead of it being a woman, it’s a building I’m curled around. Maybe it’s a castle she’s in, maybe it’s some kind of outpost made for interaction…
Sometimes I have to be careful not to damage it… too much, or maybe it’s designed for me to remove it from the foundations and squeeze it, within certain limits.
And maybe she’s signed up to be surrounded by a wall of flesh, or maybe she’s alarmed to be trapped by a giant arm.

@Olo I bought this little lady a while back as an art/size reference. I don’t think it says on the page, but it’s a 1:18 scale model, which is perfect for my preferences - could be a bit smaller, but this was one of the few affordable options with more relatively realistic body proportions at that scale.
If I was game enough to ask my partner to offer his hands to model, I would. But for now, my girly woman hands will have to act the part.

@miss-lillipants Ooo! Is the plastic hard or pliant?
-
@Olo hard plastic I’m afraid. The articulation might make it a bit more tolerable though? It makes me wish I got more into models or sculpting, because I would be customising the shit out of her. She’s a good girl nonetheless.

Once, when I was on vacation, in one of the random stores I was going through with my family there was this… drink topper thing? Balanced on the edge of the glass I think? And one of them, I swear to god, was a woman, just a few inches tall. I don’t remember how she was dressed (I want to say it was a bikini), but I couldn’t buy it because how do you explain that?
I still regret not getting it.
-
@i-am-insane like these?
-
@miss-lillipants I really appreciate the aquatic theme of these.

@miss-lillipants
That’s it exactly.Singularly packaged, but yeah!

Typically I just daydream about stories I want to write, but sometimes I’ll have the most random thoughts as I go through my day. They seem pretty typical for this community though, so here’s a weirder one I’m wondering if any of you can relate to: I love imagining peoples reactions to size content. Good or bad, I’m just fascinated by people’s thoughts on it (beyond the “wow how strange!” part). Like how into it would they be? What role would they want to play? How would they feel towards someone who was really into it?
And I don’t mean this in a way where I’m trying to project my own fantasies onto them, or hope they’re going to love it as much as I do. It is just a genuine fascination. I don’t have the guts to bring it up to anyone though.

@Olo They’re almost always plastic. The only silicon model I’m aware that comes in 1/12 scale (a bit under 6 inches) are the Phicen/TBLeague ones, but they’re way more expensive. I also really hate their default robotic anime look, but at least you can sweap their heads. There’s a seamless model that looks pretty nice:

(Sorry again to derail the thread, seems like it’s my speciality)

Honestly, I’d think it’d depend on how well you package it as a more normal concept. Like, for us, it would be a love story about a giant, for example, but you could bill it to other people as a love story with a giant, if that makes sense.If you put a layer of… plausible deniability, for a lack of a better word, between the story and the fetish of it, it’d honestly be a lot easier for people to swallow.
-
@i-am-insane Oh yes for sure! I definitely think there are ways to make this type of content more palatable to people who don’t fetishize it (I mean, all of human history we’ve had stories, religions, and art featuring giants or tiny people). It could even be a way for someone to find out they enjoy the more passionate side of it.
But I do want to clarify about my response that I’m not trying to convince people to like size content, if that makes sense? Like I DEFINITELY would never pressure someone about it. But sometimes you’ll hear like a celebrity say something or someone IRL will do something that makes you wonder what kind of giant or tiny they would make.

Ah, those ‘One of Us’ moments? Like, I look at the California Girls music video and either Katy Perry knows, and is doing exactly what I was talking about, or is really into SW but isn’t consciously aware of it.I’m pretty sure some of her other stuff hits similar notes, but damn, California Girls.
-
@i-am-insane I love that music video too!!! I remember seeing a parody where at the end they all get eaten.
But this was over a decade ago.
