I don’t know if you’ve seen Jaxon Sorby’s “Small Molly”, but he created a few sketches and animations which reminded me of this. Here’s a comparison between his work (left) and to the right a reference sketch from 20min Walk from Nishi-Ogikubo Station…

I’m a huge fan of his work, have a look : https://www.instagram.com/lumber.jaxon/

@skysayl said in The dream:

yay, your dream came true, you shrunk! Time to go find boyfriend and–

… “and”? AND what!?

I love how you think though! First thing after being shrunk? Must. Find. (now) Giant boyfriend.

@Olo That would be appreciated, ain’t got no Hulu in our frozen wasteland

@skysayl said in Extraordinary season 2 trailer:

“Good day sir say would you mind shrinking me to the size of a mouse?”

Alas, I wish that was a normal question to ask in this reality (“Of course, right away, my lady!”).

Nose bop shrinking… that’s a new one

@skysayl YES. I have watched that one… too many times lol. It’s still one of my favorite, but it could have been even better. I’m blown away that top talents got together and decided to create a G/t animation, out of all possibilities.

The original plan was for the woman to actually shrink, but the setting in which the woman looks like a cockroach was added later:

“Originally, the story was about a woman who became small and fought enemies that appeared in the small world, such as cats, hamsters, Roomba and even cockroaches, but the relationship between the three parties (boyfriend, woman and enemies) became too complicated, so the cockroaches (enemies) and the woman were combined.”

So the whole Kafka-esque plot was put together after they couldn’t make the original SW idea work. Sad, since I would have liked to see her shrinking out of her clothes in such a nice animation style.

I don’t understand Japanese but there’s also an hour long interview available here:

I do believe in fairies!

@Aborigen No problems, size identities can be complex to navigate. I know I have no desires to grow or be a literal giant, I only want to be huge relative to the shrunken woman at my feet.

I also know some ladies that prefer to be normal sized with said literal giant, which is also completely valid. I think your questions were open enough that we understood the assignment regardless.

Those were very interesting to answer, thanks!

@SmolChlo You’ve unlocked a memory - I did the same with my sister’s beautiful edition of Alice in Wonderland, a French version with gorgeous artwork. I borrowed it secretly, reading the shrinking scenes and looking at the pictures. Forgot to put it back one day, got that look from my sister which made me panic… like, she knows !

(My old pre-internet secret stash of SW stuff would be a gold mine. The struggle was real.)

@SmolChlo said in Luxurious Enclosures:

“I want to be the size of a toy so that a man can play with me!”

Talk about being built differently. I bow to your confidence, mighty Chlo. You may be only four inches tall but you have way more guts than this giant.

(… and yes I would have turned 100 shades of red, and probably fainted)

@SmolChlo said in Luxurious Enclosures:

I learned the hard way that not all miniaturists are macrophiles oh well, at least they learned day 1 that I’m actually 4”

Oh… is there a story you’d be willing to share here

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 Same goes for experimenting things outside one’s comfort zone, that’s often how you can grow (no pun intended). Which is also close to my own definition of art in general : does it make me feel something? Am I enthralled or disgusted?

The opposite of art is not ugliness, it’s indifference.

@miss-lillipants said in I found a crumb of M/f in a manga:

someone wrote a thesis that is publicly available

Oh yeah, written by a Québécoise, no less!

Great find, I’ll have a closer look later, but this here is interesting data :

Joyal and Carpentier (2016) surveyed the prevalence of paraphilic interests and behaviours in the general population within the province of Quebec. In their sample of 1,040 adult men and women, 46% reported a desire to engage in, and 34% indicated having engaged in, at least one paraphilic behaviour and having been sexually aroused by it

Well, that’s a much higher percentage than I would have thought! There’s still hope I’m not the only size freak around here…

@FairyFanatic said in Kink shamed by Google AI:

Does it care about F/f or M/m at all?

The empirical evidence all points towards this : any scenes with a man interacting with a woman, especially when dealing with what the AI considers bad (violence, power imbalance, etc) has a higher chance of being blocked. I never experience much blocking with F/f, but I never even tried M/m, or F/m, so I can’t say.

@Technomage said in Kink shamed by Google AI:

It’s sad to have other people affecting your enjoyment about the intimate things we like

Very sad, indeed! It’s not just “other people”, it’s the culture I grew up in, the era I was born (80s), the pre-internet void around kinks… Ideas you learn during childhood are the hardest to deconstruct. I’d say most of my guilt is self-imposed, reinforced by those factors, and the occasional comments I’ve read.

Although I feel much better about it now, it’s still a work in progress.

My humble contribution…
