@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.

On my part, I’ve also found that a really small blanket, bunched up, will make a ‘shape’ smaller than a pillow, and somewhat more human shaped and human feeling.
Heyyy, I did the same… I’d lie down on my side and just pretend what was in front of me wasn’t a bunched blanket but :
@Olo Please let me know if your research on, um, silicone ever turn something up!
It’s only a 45 hour drive for me 
Anyone wants to join me on an adventure? 
Seriously I’ll try to figure something out, as I’ve always wanted to visit Vancouver and the West Coast, but I’m not sure I can justify it financially just for the Con.
@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. 
@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:

@coolguy69 said in Does your size identity affect your body image?:
I wonder how you can ensure that it’s not your fate… lol
I don’t know if you were asking seriously, or maybe you misunderstand, but in my country we can make plans (with safeguards, of course) for this eventuality.
@maladaptivetiny You know it’s been a good day when you run out of upvotes… 
@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! 
My body image isn’t affected by my size identity, since I don’t really have a size identity- beside wanting to shrink ladies down, which makes me a relative giant I guess.
I’d rather not think of how I would look like from her vantage point - every defect magnified - my physical self-worth is low enough already. I honestly can’t fathom how scary I’d be to a 3" tall woman.
Beyond that, aging is something that is hitting me more than I anticipated, I’m over the midpoint of my life expectancy and while I’m not afraid of death per se, I’m already dreading the slow decline that will inescapably happen.

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 .
@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.
Not a site per se, but some of Lee’s short SW stories are amongst my favourite :

@littlest-lily Lukas’ self-control is next-level. Truly an inspiration for exemplary behavior for the gentle giants out there. 
@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!)
@coolguy69 Oh I’m not really too hung up on my physical appearance. It’s more a realistic take on what I have (and have not) to offer.
Growing older well - uh, this is off topic but - of course there’s the physical aspect : you’re not as much in shape in your 40s than in your early 20s. You need more regular visits to the doctor’s office, and medical tests. You feel signs that some parts of your body are raising the white flag.
But that’s not what scares me. I’ve recently lived through the pain of losing a parent to dementia. I would not wish it on even the most foul human being, yet it happened to the kindest, most gentle soul that ever was. She went away slowly, forgetting everything about her life, about the people she loved, and it took years for her suffering to end.
I’m not scared of death, but this is worse. That will not be my fate.
