Paint her like one of his miniatures - TFT

If this is not allowed here I’ll delete it, as it is not my own story.
I recently read this story, and while it is unfinished, I absolutely adored the dynamics of it: Paint her like one of his miniatures - TFT
I wish I could properly convey what I love so much about it, but it feels like a onesided admiration, this stoic almost saviour-like figure, and the tiny woman who comes to a point of trust while he views it almost casually, yet is still so careful. Not even these words describe exactly what I feel for this tiny work of fiction, I just love it! So please give it a read

@maladaptivetiny An intriguing introduction, it’s mostly from her perspective but we get a few glimpses of this thoughts and intentions. I’m very curious about the village of voluntary tinies whose consent is always respected. Unmentioned is whether anyone has ever asked to be returned to full size, and what his response was.

@Olo For now we’ll be ignorant to what truly goes on, if anything different at all, but in my wishful thinking I’d like for it to remain as mundane as it is presented. Just a stoic man and his refuge for people looking for something to save them, while never owing him anything. It’s so painfully and gut-flutteringly(?) gentle which I adore about it, but alas I can not know. I just hope the writer will return to continue it.

@maladaptivetiny The whole narrative (so far) turns on Susan considering how much she can trust Richard. What she knows about his character and intentions are crucial to her decision.

@Olo Ah, I don’t know if I misinterpreted what you wrote then (english is my second language after all)?
Yeah, the sensuality is present in the absolute trust she is described to have. I just interpreted your first comment as speculative over Richard’s truer intentions, was I misunderstanding you?find me on twitter as well: @tiny_freddie

@maladaptivetiny You weren’t misunderstanding me at all. I think Richard’s intentions behind creating the village and what he gets out of it is the central mystery of the story, and Susan’s experience in choosing to let him paint her is our first opportunity to observe Richard up close. How Susan reacts to the experience will (if the story is ever continued) tell us more about what she gets out of being a villager.
