@skysayl Invent shrink rays, solve world hunger (and thirst)

@blehb Yup, well let’s just say back then I didn’t quite understand why I was sweating by the episode’s end.

I think I’ve already answered this over the years in one form or another, but why not, let’s do this again!

How did you discover this fetish?

Depends on what you mean by “fetish”. If you mean “When did you discover this was (also) a sexual thing for you?”, then it was at the onset of puberty for me, so around 12 or 13 years old, when I started having sexual fantasies and started using SW daydreams while masturbating (confusing times w/ all the guilt and shame of post-nut clarity, but with added wtf due to tiny girls thoughts ). If your question was more “When did you discover this fantasy?”, for me it was basically always there. I can’t remember a time before, it’s just how I was wired.

How did it manifest?

When I was 5 or 6, the first shrinking scenes in the cartoons I watched at the time, I think it was Alice shrinking in an anime? It made me feel excited, overwhelmed (in a good way), but at the same time I instinctively knew that I had to keep quiet about this. So I felt weird when someone else was in the room when a SW scene came up, I was paranoid that my sister or friends knew about this secret, somehow, so I tried to keep a poker face. If I knew beforehand that a shrinking scene was coming up, I would pretend having to go to the bathroom (but still watch it through the half-opened door).

When I was a teenager, around 16 and had my first sexual relations, I discovered that even during sex I needed these thoughts to go all the way. That was almost always the case, I can have sex without sizey thoughts but my kink makes it hard to really enjoy it otherwise. So I just imagined she was shrinking on my dick or things like that. Again, I always felt some shame and guilt after it for not being able to just enjoy reality as-is, as if I didn’t respect my partner somehow.

What’s the appeal to it?

I have two wolves inside. The cozy, wholesome side is mostly about caring for, and protecting a woman hundreds of times smaller than I am. Between 3 to 6 inches, even smaller. I enjoy dreaming about all things she would do at her size, how adorable everything she would do would be, just melting with complete admiration at the tiny cuteness.

The NSFW side is complicated. It can overlap, meaning I’m still caring and protecting her, but the appeal of shrinking her, or having her used as a sex toy or something is just too strong. I love both con and non-con, so she can also be very into it and worship me like a god of old, or be terrified, both I can enjoy. Both these sides co-exist within me, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

@littlest-lily funny because Ludivine is almost MY age too, hehe. I couldn’t un-see her steamy scenes and prevent my brain from mixing them with her Tink-sized

@skysayl I wouldn’t focus on the ASMR aspect too much - I know some people get the tingles and stuff from the way it’s recorded, or through specific trigger sounds, but in this case I think we’d focus more on what is being said, even if it’s not purely “ASMR” (I’m not even sure what it really means either).

@skysayl The 2003 live-action version had Ludivine Sagnier as Tinkerbell. You have no idea how that messed with my brain. I had seen her other movie, Ozon’s excellent Gouttes d’eau sur pierres brûlantes before that.

I love French SW (not nearly enough out there). So let’s just say I had conflicting images in my mind when watching tiny Ludivine.

@littlest-lily Can you imagine what (or who) put those 3D audio thoughts (literally) in my head, uh?

For a static recording, on the hardware side I think there are binaural microphones that allow you to record directly in 3D. Or, like @skysayl said, you can use manual panning to get the same effect but I guess there’s more work involved. My only experience is mixing music but that’s another ball game.

I’m doing research for a little project of mine on the software side of things, namely audio APIs, algorithms to simulate realistic spatial audio effects, room acoustics, sound source directivity, and HRTF functions. But that’s mostly about how to transform existing sounds to 3D in realtime for, say, a VR environment.

@BigCuddlyGiant My favourite game

@SmolChlo It was shown during the holidays on a segment for children, before an Astérix movie lol. Strange choice but late 80s and not as much concern for viewer’s safety back then.

I was really empathic towards the tinies but jealous of the Draags at the same time - I wanted a tiny Oom girl for myself hehe

@SmolChlo For real it’s so much fun Make us biggos work a bit for our reward hehe

I am once again asking you to join me in VR shenanigans, Chloe. Altough sadly the sound and vibration are lacking (VRC wasn’t programmed with G/t in mind, something I’m hoping to address one day )

@i-am-insane it’s not the only one, but one of the few (compared to GTS it’s nothing of course). I have made a playlist of F4M SW audio, including one by our very own @skysayl :

I also have another playlist for M4F, including a script written by @littlest-lily :

I enjoy those very much and I hope more will be made in the future.

@SmolChlo I can’t talk from the SW’s perspective but from my side of things it’s almost like a dream come true, at least that’s very close to some things I imagined for years. Seeing it in VR is mind-blowing the first time, and still is honestly.

If you look at static pictures it probably won’t help you get a feel of how cool it can be, but I know you can also play on desktop in good old 2D to get a preview of what it looks like.

From the SW’s perspective, I can’t help you… I can’t stand being small, not even in VR. You could ask around? Ping @littlest-lily or @skysayl , which I had to pleasure to grab and hold a few times, hehe.

Nice catch, thanks for sharing!

Still waiting for the game that will let me play as a giant

@SmolChlo “Club Penguin” lol now that is a name I haven’t heard in a loooong time.

To further answer your question, some people like to use furry avatars, others like semi-human beasts, some like plain old humanoid avatars. Custom avi are a lot of work but I’ve seen incredibly talented people create stuff like dragonborns or almost actual dragons, giant snakes, etc. No limits really. I chose to get a plain looking avatar but I’m thinking of getting a good looking one commissioned at some point.

There are rooms which are purely for hanging out, chat, listen to music, watching videos/movies, etc. There are some worlds with fun little quests/puzzles and interactions. Outside of VRChat there are also other virtual worlds but none as popular right now. Also since VRC added avatar scaling (ie. shrinking/growing) it has become very easy to create sizey worlds with that in mind. They added stuff like collision so that we can hold tinies without them “falling” through giant hands or bodies. They added climbing too, so that tinies can “explore” giants. Oh and while the soundscape isn’t exploited to all its sizey potential IMHO, the spatial 3D audio is delightful… having a SW moving around my head from one shoulder to the other sent ASMR-like tingles to my brain

The only thing is that in VRC, the most advanced worlds (those with proper physics) require the use of a PC. The PC will use its GPU and CPU to render the world, basically streaming the info to your headset. Otherwise you can still access some sizey worlds in “standalone” / Quest mode (ie. with the headset alone), but it’s a bit more limited.

Alsoooo, I’ve heard it can be quite jarring at first to be picked up when tiny, hehe… I’ve literaly heard (‘squeeeee’) it, I mean

@TakoAlice8 Funny I had the same discussion on Discord a few days ago - another dimension could have very different properties. Some theories, such as String Theory, allows in its framework the existence of multiple universes. Each universe would have its own set of physical laws and constants, which could be vastly different from ours.

Maybe it’s a bit of copium on my part (I want my shrink ray, dammit!), but seriously there’s still so much we don’t know.
