Go-to sizey daydream?

miss-lillipants

@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.

Olo

@miss-lillipants Ooo! Is the plastic hard or pliant?

miss-lillipants

@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?

Olo

@miss-lillipants I really appreciate the aquatic theme of these.

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)

@blehb
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.

blehb

@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.

@blehb
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.

@maladaptivetiny I have a lot of random size daydreams throughout the day, and whether they’re gentle or cruel, they often rely on vast size differences and the emotional impact. For example, one of my favorite gentle scenarios involves a giant protector caring for a single person or a group of people, and I like to imagine how both the tiny and giant individuals would react to the situation. The tiny people may feel nervousness, or distrust, or awe; the giant may feel a sense of isolation or loneliness.

@maladaptivetiny
For falling asleep, I often fantasize about a giant man comforting me, or carrying me in his chest pocket. The feeling of protection and affection puts me right to sleep.

For when I’m walking around the city, or working in my company’s skyscraper, my go-to fantasy is actually also gentle. This same giant is just hanging out and looking at the city with fascination. He phases through reality at will, luckily, as if he was solid he’d wreck everything, because he’s like 500-1700 feet tall.

It’s the same character for both of these situations. I basically have a giant imaginary friend. He is witty and kind.

I started picturing him as an adult, during my long commutes, and he’s stuck with me for a little more than a decade now, since I find him mentally so useful.

I refuse to give him a name, tell you his fixed physical traits, or put him in a story, because that would sort of take him away from this perfect platonic space in my mind, and convert him into a flawed fictional character for others’ enjoyment. I’ll never chain him down like that. But I invite others to conjure their own freely. Tulpas like him are very helpful!
