I learned the hard way that not all miniaturists are macrophiles oh well, at least they learned day 1 that I’m actually 4”

Oh… is there a story you’d be willing to share here

or naked with a collar

Okay I was too self-conscious to say it myself, but yeah

@Olo said in Depression and Size Kink:

and men suffer the most from this lack. To customize the meme, “Men will literally shrink themselves to the size of a mouse and beg women to step on them rather than go to therapy.”

Ain’t that the truth?! I fully admit that I’m guilty of this as well. I think there has been rapid changes to that perception amongst males in the past decade or two, but it took everything (and hitting the wall) for me to seek help and get in therapy. I even admitted to my therapist I almost didn’t show up.

@Nyx Now that you mention it, I can see how it can really go both ways - fear vs eagerness.

For the record, I did prompt for an “eager” tiny, wanting to be picked up. Oh and that heart-shaped light on the floor was also prompted, amazing that the AI understood what I meant.

Not only symbolic… can confirm giants apparently love to drag us around on a leash.

Why do I feel slightly called out…

@The-Big-G That’s a very good point - I have no regrets about embracing my kink and engaging with the community more. Ending my eternal lurking truly helped me, regardless of what I feel right now.

Funny you should talk about low heart beart. I sometimes experience a condition called Bigeminy, arrhythmia due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which causes some cheap heart sensors or pulse oxymeters to report roughly half my current heartbeart (ie. 25 instead of 50). Good way to freak out the new nurses!

@littlest-lily I’m fine with viewing them on Deviantart. I mean, you could still post simple update notifications here, and just link to your WT/DA?

Like peeling a hard boiled egg.

Or a little shrimp, hehe.

I don’t want to rant and rave about WH40K but I’ve been playing close to 20 years (+/- 25 if you include 2nd ed. Space Hulk). I bought, and sold, many different armies for many editions. Back in the days, I tried to paint my own minis. LOL. After that epic fail, I commissioned people to paint them, but now I have my own slave teenager at home who has infinitely more artistic talent than I do that does it for free.

My figurines collection started without me even trying, just slowly bought over the years, collector editions games and blurays. I have superheroes, video game & anime characters, all in the 4" to 12" range. I should get my collection properly displayed, still a bit so self-conscious. Speaking of, the next thinkg I’m after is a Phicen doll, they are 10" high which is still too big for my taste but apparently their “skin” is made of this soft silicon which feels human to the touch, and seamlessly covers their entire body (again, feel free to judge me people - I’m still really curious to hold one! )

@blehb That’s the sort of medical condition I could get used to

@HHunter1 said in Her Paperwork:

I worry I’m putting effort into creating something while someone puts a few prompts into a program

My two cents : I still believe there is value to making it yourself. It’s like saying, ‘why bother painting this landscape on canvas if I can wipe out my cell and take a picture’? That was the fear behind the invention of photography last century, and digital photography more recently (which I’m old enough to remember causing heated debates with ‘true’ photographers).

My take will always be that the act of creating the art, the actual process - brush strokes, words written, clay sculpted - are as important as the end result itself. Art and artist can’t be dissociated - the fact that a human mind and/or body was behind it has intrinsic value. What another person is using as a medium is irrelevant.

I do have a problem with selling synthographies, as it was trained on copyrighted materials for which the original artists weren’t compensated. But if we focus solely on size content such as what is posted above, honestly, it’s incredibly niche - a drop in the ocean of what generative AI is used for, and a harmless one at that. I mean, sure for us it matters, because we’re macro-/micro- philes. My real concerns are abuse of generative AI for media manipulation and fake news.

Disclaimer: Echodeck is a cool dude and isn’t selling his art, or hiding the fact that he’s using AI. Someone shared his work here without specifying (or knowing) that it was the case. So please don’t lash out on him.

@Olo said in Do you have any size kinks or interests that you feel are unusual?:

What might be challenging for someone of the SW perspective is to realistically model how a male Biggo who never thought about being attracted to a SW before might “come around” to it

Hehe like I said, I’m fully conscious of my own bias, I was talking from my own perspective as a certified, unrepenting microphile. Honestly it probably wouldn’t take much to get me going when in company of a tiny lady, that’s for sure. Shrinking is already so hot in itself!

But the point you mention is close to home as I’ve always liked to imagine the SW as a normie, not as a macrophile. But deep down inside, I hope she comes around to liking the experience of being smol. Part Stockholm syndrome, part self-discovery, and part because… I’m such a nice giant.

@Mrgoblinging7 Thanks, I hope it does work for me too.

I think the nature of the fantasy itself, of wanting to dominate/shrink/reduce really makes it harder to paint ourselves (biggos) in a positive light. I can rarely see myself as anything else than the “bad guy” in my fantasies, or maybe the hypocrite savior at best.

I’m still not sure what I’ll need to feel better (an actual 3" tall lady would def help!), but gaining a better understanding of myself is the first step.

@Olo Love it! Maybe you should add an indication in the title that AI was used to enhance the image? It’s a very good base 3D Render that was post-processed using AI “inpainting”. EpicIllusionist is the master of this technique, I’m actually delving into it for other projects of mine, using Blender or other 3D software as a base then pushing the realism with inpainting.

Regardless, thanks for sharing his groundbreaking work.

“oooops I went a bit overboard shrinking you”. The whole feeling small IN A DOLLHOUSE.

Oooh I love this too! Too eager on the shrink ray trigger You probably know this one but there is a nice scene on this theme from a series called “The Collector” :

@giantmaneddie Thanks, and sorry to hear you’re also going through tough times. I’m hoping my therapist will prove worthy of my trust, I’d regret skipping over this part of me.

You know… I’ve been married and trust me you can be years in a relationship and still feel alone.

You mention pets, I think my cat is a great help to my mental health. I got her when she was so tiny, she could fit into the palm of my hand. You can say I always loved cute, small things.
