@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:

@BigCuddlyGiant said in Some AI Fairy art from DALL-E 3:
Of course being “AI” the fingers and toes are fucked in various ways but these are the best looking ones out of my experiments with different prompts
Nice! I usually like my fairies smaller, but cool nevertheless.
I’m having nightmares about fixing feet and hands, I usually give that job to Stable Diffusion, using inpainting and a mix of trained LORAs, luck, and prayers. Mostly prayers. It’s really frustrating, but then again hands and feet ARE hard to draw, whether by a human or an AI.
@Olo said in Meanwhile on Reddit:
- 5’9" and fine
5’8" and (mostly) fine. 
That’s one thing I hate about dating apps. I mean, I understand that we all have our preferences, and I’d be a hypocrite to deny I like short(er) girls (or redheads…
), but I wouldn’t reject a girl simply because she’s a brunette or my taller than me. But for some people it’s a non-negociable criteria. I guess tall dudes aren’t as used to being rejected based on their height, so it’s a new experience for them, thus the knee-jerk reactions in that girl’s post.
Seriously I don’t think it’s conscious but just like beauty, height is still an advantage and privilege in spite of our modern societies. Height has always been correlated to average salary, and beautiful people can get away with uglier behavior than most.

I truly get so much enjoyment out of their facial expressions or the way their eyes dilate… like hmmm what are you think about ¿
Well you would have a field day with me, telling me something like this!
Teach me the ways of the extrovert, tiny woman, I beseech thee! 
@Olo oh right, haha… that’s probably it. 
It’s okay, I don’t like holding grudges.

That looks like a giant phone
I though so too, haha we’re so hopeless Glad to know I’m not the only one.
@Olo said in Go-to sizey daydream?:
Need to get more First Nations stories in there. Lots of Biggos up north.
You’re right, First Nations have giants in some of their tales. There’s Inukpasuksuk in the Inuit mythology, and the sleeping giant of the Ojibwa people.

@Olo Ahhhh someone make this app stat
A G/t… dating app?! Ultra niche, but why I never thought of that!?! It doesn’t already exist, right…?

Lots of interesting thoughts, Olo. I think mine intersects with Lily’s a lot, in the sense that while violence is not really my thing, I would never judge you based on your fantasies. I sincerely hope that, whenever I express my own personal preferences for the gentler side of things, I don’t come across as judging or looking down upon those that don’t share my tastes.
I was fortunate enough to be older than most here when I first got access to the internet, so I wasn’t that shocked when first exposed to violent SW fiction and pictures. I must admit that hurting or killing in the context of shrinking had never even crossed my mind at that point. It’s part of those little details in size fiction that took me a while to discover, like for instance the prevalence of fear as being the foremost sought after emotion from the tiny/SW’s perspective. I know it’s obvious but what I personally seek with the shrinking lies first and foremost in the newfound vulnerability of the shrunken woman. The fear, as I see it, is a byproduct of that loss of power, but not THE thing I’m explicitly looking for. I’m almost like a blissfully unaware giant that has no clue of the utter terror he’s inflicting on his shrunken victim. Does that make any sense?
It is not unreasonable, therefore, to be concerned about how expressions of fetish desires might be (mis)interpreted by people unfamiliar with the tropes and conventions of certain fetishes.
We had a case very similar to Gilberto Valle here in Quebec with a horror writer for a book he published in 2017. In that story, there was an incest/rape scene involving a minor - someone reported that to police, and he was accused of producing child pornography. He was later found not guilty but not before his entire life had been destroyed.
I don’t know where modern day psychology stands on all this. I’ve seen their takes on “viDeO gAmEs mAkE yOu viOleNt!!” and I’m not sure we’re in the clear. I’m old enough to remember the D&D scare in the 90s, when people thought playing that game made us satanic worshippers or something. I shudder to think what some experts would say if they were exposed to size fiction.
PS: J’aime beaucoup le titre de votre article. Very clever.
@maladaptivetiny said in Go-to sizey daydream?:
But maybe giants are extra prevalent in Norse mythology
I’m really no expert but it was my impression they were. Not based on anything but empirical evidence.
Same way I’ve also noticed that Southeast Asia has a tradition of tiny people in their folklore, based on the various stories and television shows featuring them and what I’ve been told on the subject.
(Someone should do a PhD on Size Representation through history!)
@foreverlurk She starts to notice his growing obsession and is concerned that her visits are going to turn into a permanent stay
Oh, you mean she willingly shrunk down to be his model for that session (purely for, er, artistic reasons!), but maybe now he doesn’t want to restore her to normal? 
I didn’t even notice the AI tag at the bottom!
Yeah, well that’s exactly my point, it should be more obvious in the UI.
@The-Big-G said in Depression and Size Kink:
Dose a day go by that I wouldn’t give up everything to spend five minutes with a tiny woman even if we just chatted as I admired her
“Chatting as I admired her” 
yes, this, exactly this. I think I used these same words a few times. Is it too much to ask? 
And thanks, it’s always nice to know I’m not alone.
So with that we’ll be able to create and share our preferences? Interesting!
Is there a central place where we could send our ideas, or simply a list of existing ones? Because otherwise I might be sending you things already in your list.
@SmolChlo Is this a choose-your-own-adventure thread? In that case, I’d go with option #2, please. 
Although, he does look like a true gentleman from a bygone era, and the way they look at each other tells me it’s a relationship built on trust, making the first option way more likely (and the second option even… better worse?)
@i-am-insane Lots of interesting things to ponder. You know, maybe I make it sound like it’s purely sexual thing - it’s really not. Most of what I wrote would still apply in a platonic relationship (side note - sorry if the nuances of aromantics/asexuals are lost on me, I need to read more on the topic!). There are so many reasons I love this fantasy that involves no sex at all.
As for the therapist, I’m comfortable enough but I haven’t had much experience to judge. I’m just not a people’s person, so if I feel at ease with her after a few sessions, for me it’s a very positive sign. I hope so.
