@littlest-lily I haven’t caught up with that chapter of your story yet, but you should know that simply mentionning “poutine” is enough to summon a Québécois… Annnnnd of course now I want one!

@SmolChlo Wait, what?! No no no, you’re my little doll, you’re supposed to play with me! But fine, if you don’t wanna… NO cheese for you, and I’ll shrink you again even smaller than a bug, then the new maze for you to solve would be in my underwear.

@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)

“Don’t worry, I’m not gonna get launched into the stratosphere if you try to lift me up.”

Watch out, Cameron… trust me, that can happen sometimes!

That was amazing, again. Love the dynamic between a self-conscious ‘clumsy’ giant, unsure and fearful of hurting the tiny, while she’s used to her size and confident in her abilities. Very refreshing!

Other senses being magnified plays very well in a size difference scenario. Hearing Naomi as she’s climbing up to his shoulder, close to his ear; Feeling tingles as she’s moving around; annnd of course - the sense of touch, argh - tiny fingers hugs are the best hugs.

Thank you for sharing this.

@Olo Here’s some more context for your context

At the end of Bad Channels, three of the four SW regain their normal size, except for one: Nurse Ginger.

(Yes, I may have watched it a few times a lot growing up. Yes, times were hard before the internet, but at least I had a video rental store close by and the stoner dude behind the counter didn’t ask too many questions.)

@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!

@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 )

That’s freaking amazing… crazy attention to details, the LED lights and all. Only wish there was something else in the frame (a hand or whatever) to better show the actual size of the miniature.

Also, I wish I could justify owning something like this…

@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 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.

I do believe in fairies!

@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!)

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.

Interesting use of generative AI over his existing renders.

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.
