@Olo uh, he blocked me. Strange, I don’t remember ever interacting with him beside giving him a few favs. Oh well, still a fan of his work regardless.

@jody so I gotta ask… Zildjian, Sabian or Paiste?

Played drums in an indie band in my early 20s, couple albums, couple tours. Crazy but fun times.

Welcome!

Size content aside, would you guys recommend me to fork some dollars for a month of Amazon Pime just for Gen V? The show seems fun (I’ve seen the SW parts, of course) but while the SW to GTS switcharoo lowered my hype, maybe there’s still a good story in there?

@jody said in There Are Worse Jobs:

There’s an Egyptian/Greek statue wing of the art museum in my hometown and this legitimately used to be my dream job (still is). So many stone hunks… all I needed was one night alone there, alarms deactivated. But alas

Ah, life isn’t fair

For all we know, miss Eleonora Pucci is “one of us” and is living the dream

But seriously… that statue is 17 feet tall? I never thought.

Just a little something I saw on my Twitter (or X, whatever) feed:

“Maintenance Dusting of Michelangelo’s ‘David’. Every two months, Eleonora Pucci, in-house art conservator at the Galleria dell’Accademia in Florence cleans the 17ft-tall statue of dust and debris using a backpack vacuum and synthetic fibre brush.”

Now even marble statues are getting more SW action than I am

@Olo said in Bath Time:

I quite agree. Short distances only, or for dangling her in front of your face.

Love the dangling in front of face… that would be a good use

The first time I saw that cover I was at the impressionable age of 13. I can still see the Waldenbooks where it happened.

As a teenager there was an old, battered copy at my local library, but I never worked out the courage to face the librarian checking out that book lol. I did check out some more mainstream books with shrinking, though.

@Olo wow, he’s so good.

That position always seemed so painful to me, like her arm could get discolated or something

Like on the cover of “Small World” :

@SmolChlo if they only knew what’s on your mind lol!

I mean nowadays I get over my awkwardness and initial shyness more easily than I did when I was younger, but I still feel like I would have an easier time talking to women if they were 6 inches tall or less, haha. Taller women always intimidated me (only 5’8" myself), might explain why none of my ex’s were above 5 foot 2, lol).

But then again, I don’t remember any girls rejecting me having been particulary mean to me as to “deserve” a shrinking, but I can’t say I didn’t do it, in my mind.

@SmolChlo holy sh… me, totally a shy and soft-spoken nerd IRL, reading this during my lunch hour. Why, oh why do you do this to me?! How can get back to work now!?

@Olo said in Karmic shrinking:

what do you imagine might be some conditions she can find herself in or certain behaviors she can exhibit that would “justify” her getting shrunk

Personally I think hurting animals would be a valid reason. Shrinking her smaller than all the other animals would be good payback. It’s the premise of The Wonderful Adventures of Nils , but he’s a boy.

I also like shrinking bullies. Bullies just suck. A shy, bullied girl shrinking her bully down is a-okay in my book (smallminded48 on DA has such a story).

To a lesser extent, being rude or violent against natually tiny creatures like fairies, not okay at all. Jaxon Sorby did amazing concept art for such a story (“Small Molly”), and coincidentally he also did a gender-swapped tribute of Nils I just mentionned.

Seriously check this guy out if you haven’t already :

Of course I’m away for the weekend, welp.

Same.
