@Giant-Gripper I love when somehow people can blend G/t concepts with IRL social issues

@Olo Love it! Maybe you should add an indication in the title that AI was used to enhance the image? It’s a very good base 3D Render that was post-processed using AI “inpainting”. EpicIllusionist is the master of this technique, I’m actually delving into it for other projects of mine, using Blender or other 3D software as a base then pushing the realism with inpainting.

Regardless, thanks for sharing his groundbreaking work.

That’s a nice solution, much simpler to implement than actually knowing a complete language. Even the terms used for descriptions in English might change as the understanding grows (ie. “giant captor” --> “giant savior”)

@blehb said in Language barrier:

For example: The tiny woman stared up at the giant captor, fighting back tears as she clasped her hands together and softly said “Ni nathathol?”

My Sindarin is a bit rusty but during the solar eclipse last week, at totality my daughter turned to me and said “mornië alantië!” which made me tear up a bit (and a very proud father lol)

@blehb Thread necromancy is legal in these parts, I think!

I’ll admit this scenario has been on my mind, too. I’m really tempted to steal Lily’s idea and adapt it to a Canadian/Quebec setting. I might have even an outline of that potential story

Roleplaying wise, I love the idea of going in “blind”, full meta and not using English (or any language both partner know) for anything other than scene or action description. All dialogue in native tongue, only (and no cheating using AI translator!) Complex because it requires bilingual partners that don’t actually share a common language… hmm, I don’t know if it’s an invitation but that could be fun.

Also Hook with Robin Williams.

Stumbled upon an interesting article a while ago about that version of Tink (Clochette in French) and Peter :

They talk about Tink’s love for Peter as a “sad, impossible love” because “she’s tiny, he’s normal sized”, and how she’s egotistically clinging to that pipe dream. Blargh. Normies and their utter lack of imagination, am I right?

@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 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.

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

@blehb Without going full mean giant mode, you can have gentle yet teasing and playful? What about if he knows about her triggers and he simply can’t resist getting her to shrink in the most inopportune of places and time? I admit it would be hard to resist, and even better if she’s freaking out about it (while secretly enjoying it)

LOL at her shrinking randomly and the poor the giant going “WTF NOT AGAIN!” and getting his magnifying glass

@protect-tinies Je suis un ananas. Your argument is invalid.

@Olo It’s ridiculous, they ended up being bodyguards for the Eastern Roman emperors. They also left graffitis in far away places…

@protect-tinies Plot twist : nobody in the world calls them “pineapples” but you anglo-saxon degenerates /j

@blehb said in A slightly evil scenario:

Or have her get smaller with every sneeze.

I love shrinking triggers like this. It’s fun when the shrinking is out of the SW’s direct control, but even more fun when it’s just slightly out of her control, ie.

• Shrinking when feeling a specific emotion (embarrassed/sad)
• Shrinking when in contact with something (rain/water)
• Shrinking when hearing a specific word (“shrink!”)
• Shrinking when turned on.

Things like these are less on the nose than shrink rays or potions, and the unpredicability of her size change is chef’s kiss to me. Getting tiny at the worst best possible time…

@protect-tinies said in Side effects:

That’s the thing about having a fantasy that’s physically impossible.

“Without you I’m nothing”

He wanted to hear her say it, just once, while she was still big enough for her words to reach him.

(… aaaand now I’m 16 again and listening to this masterpiece )
