@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)
@maladaptivetiny Ohhhh I love first person POVs like this, it’s so perfect… don’t mind me I’m just having a heart attack over here.

That looks like a giant phone
I though so too, haha we’re so hopeless 
Glad to know I’m not the only one.
@SmolChlo said in Watching Others Watch Size:
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! 
@maladaptivetiny You know it’s been a good day when you run out of upvotes… 
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.
@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.
@Nyx said in Shrunken Shadowheart (commission):
That looming shadow in the first image
Thanks, I think it turned out well! I wanted to keep it a first person POV (for… reasons) and also to keep the mystery on the identity of the one who shrank her.
@miss-lillipants said in Shrunken Shadowheart (commission):
And now she’s even cuuuuuutteeerrrrrrrrr~
Yessss, she was a perfect fit for my Oath of Devotion pally, she even ticked my “I-Can-Fix-Her” box .
@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.
@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!)
@littlest-lily Lukas’ self-control is next-level. Truly an inspiration for exemplary behavior for the gentle giants out there. 
@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.
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.
@Miri I know it’s going to take some time, I’ve no illusions. I never talked about this fantasy to anyone in real life, so even that first step is part of the process, getting over my self-consciousness and shame. I’m always jealous of how some people in the community can be so open about it.
Takes me a while to open up, even in such a safe space. Wish me good luck for the next session.
