@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)
@littlest-lily You’re right, there’s no app - I should have said “website” or “web application”. It’s not that complex but I think the UI is a bit confusing at first and I’m not sure what is visible or not, ie. what is shared or what is kept private.
I have opened a second account to test some features before using my real one (if I ever get over my self-consciousness and actually post something, that is 
)

@foreverlurk aww she’s beautiful! I can only imagine how adorable her angry squeaks must sound. Gotta watch out for those spicy red heads
Yesss! We can only imagine if the shrinking process hadn’t been stopped and she’d have remained two inches tall for the rest of the series.
When they announced the 2017 movie back then I reallllly thought we were going to get some shrunken Cara Delevingne. The title of the movie (“Cité des mille planètes”) was close enough for me to believe they were going by the same storyline.
Sadly, they choose another story, the movie sucked, and I was disappointed (again).
@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! 
@Olo said in Sweet treat (M/f, borrower, gentle, fluff, smut):
it’s actually quite easy to think of Canadians as little people.
Must be from all the time you Americans look down on us! 
It’s better think of us like so : tiny Canadian women and/or giant Québ’ dudes. That would seriously make it the best country ever.
@BTbutcher said in Valérian et Laureline:
@foreverlurk I literally named a character in my story Post-Punk and Shrunk Laureline because of this specific comic
No, wait, seriously?! Crap… we must share a common soul or something, this is getting scary lol. I definitely approve your taste in music, comics, and shrunken/tiny redheads lol.
@littlest-lily said in Valérian et Laureline:
@BTbutcher I think PP&S is still my favorite one of yours 🥰 I’m such a sucker for romance
Arrghh so it means yet another story I must absolutely read then! Into my endless backlog then, to the Pile! 
@SmolChlo said in Valérian et Laureline:
@foreverlurk fingers crossed we get a live action M/f soon! I heard they’re considering making Baldurs Gate 3 into a film or tv show for Netflix… maybe we’ll finally get to see some sw action
Live. Action. Baldur’s Gate?! Whaaaaaaat!? I was in COVID brain fog mode for the last few days, how could I miss that news. I can think of a few scenes! The D&D movie had some nice transformations, Doric becoming a mouse still triggered me a bit hehe.
@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.
Ugh. Always back up your work locally folks, that goes without saying. And it’s probably a good idea to have multiple Google accounts, and not use the one with your real name/normie facade.
I know the article states that she was banned for “spamming” to her alpha/beta readers, but I don’t fully buy it. I’m pretty sure she was flagged by AI long before that. For instance, I can tell you from personal experience that AIs considers depictions of multi-size relationships, even romantic, consensual ones, as inappropriate (because of “power imbalance”, etc.). It’s the same LLMs that are used when parsing and evaluating texts so I wouldn’t be surprised if such a thing could happen to one of us in the future. Google ARE crawling Google Docs to feed their models (opt-out or not), I can guarantee that.
That article reminded me of the LiveJournal purges. LJ was my first ever online blog in 1999, and I’ve never been so involved in a community since. It was mostly about music and programming, but I did shadow drop sizey hints here and there lol. I had even purchased a lifetime membership… the sale to 6A and subsequent sale to that shady Russian company killed LJ, and caused a great exodus second only to the Tumblr purges (this one seems to have recovered?!).
In 2018, Tumblr banned “adult content,” and queer communities warned that losing their spaces online would make things even more difficult for queer youth and others questioning or discovering their sexuality.
I want to add that even though we are not persecuted in the same ways that queer communities are, don’t underestimate the importance having a safe space to discuss SFW and NSFW size stuff online for youth discovering their size kinks. I guess younger members don’t see it because they’ve been lucky enough to grow up in a world already providing those spaces. We should always stay vigilant when things like this happens. Make no mistake, if they come for them they’ll come for us.
@Olo Awww yes I saw that one yesterday! She’s so cute I wanna pick her up soo bad…
Joyeux Noël tout le monde!
@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 said in New Nightmare Just Dropped:
can something still be “private” but shared??
By default I think everything in your drive is private, but reading what @Aborigen wrote on his blog, it seems that anything sitting on the home screen of Google Drive is also somehow considered “public” (!)
So if I understand correctly, if you create folders to store your documents they are private unless you explicitly share them. Unless they’re sitting on the top level of your drive, in which case they could be scanned (going by what Aborigen said)
He also mentions finding a workaround for locked documents, and while he won’t reveal his fix publicly (for fear Google will patch it), you can contact him for help.
@SmolChlo Ah, I’ve learned recently that some people were really into noses, like reallllly. Nasophilia.
Having a size kink made me impervious to judging almost all other fetishes (a few exceptions where cruelty, violence, and illegal stuff is involved), this one is harmless but just goes to show how strange and diverse human sexuality is.
@SmolChlo said in What is your earliest memory of having this fetish?:
Did you guys ever try to recreate any other shrunken scenarios?
No, it was really a spur of the moment thing, we weren’t even that close. Its such a strong memory and I had never shared it with anyone, I though I’d take that little moment of childhood bliss to my grave. 
If we were watching something and suddenly a character shrunk or if there was some kind of interaction with a giant my face would turn bright red, I’d sweat a little too…
Argh, same! Like I said, cartoons were my primary source of SW when I was young, and almost every series had a shrinking episode. I felt, and still feel a non negligible amount of shame about this fetish (working on it!), so the few times it happened were really embarrassing.
So, you know that Captain Planet episode where the russian girl shrank out of her clothes? With the handheld at the end? Yeah, well the first time I ever watched that was at a birthday party. With like 10 other kids. From my school.
Kill. Me. Now.
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.
@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.
