@SmolChlo I’m sure you dutifully obeyed that instruction.

RE: What Lurks Underneath
@tiny-ivy The main challenge in photocollaging, IMO, is selecting the original photos. The vast majority of size collages are too forced. Seeing the possibility in the photo of the man’s pose is the inspiration, and her shadow on the pool floor is the final touch.

RE: Out of their Element
Whatever idea Aiden has, I’m glad he seems to understand that he’s earned Evie’s trust and that even if she rejects his proposal she won’t think worse of him for it.

she playfully shoves at my hand to try and get it to flip over, which I immediately let her do.
Like training a dog to roll over.

@SmolChlo I don’t imagine he made pleasant sounds, either.

RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily I was grinning the whole time I read this chapter. I’m still grinning.
I don’t know where to start; okay, yes I do: Are you planning to recount the initial conversation between Aiden and Moira? Gotta be the most fraught discussion ever.
From the moment Aiden made his introduction, I was thinking, “Kneel down, get on her level.” Then Moira did!
If I ever got Aiden alone, I’d ask him if he thought Moira would be someone he’d introduce to Evie under normal circumstances, or if he thought Moira was somehow a better friend candidate under Evie’s reduced circumstances.
Forgive my anime ignorance, but I imagine there are other tiny-girl stories out there besides Arrietty. It would be hilarious if Moira had thought more about this topic than the average anime fan.
I am now eagerly anticipating when Aiden and Evie watch Ratatouille together and they come to the scene where Linguini wordlessly suggests that Remy hide in his pants and Remy wordlessly declines.
I remain in awe of how well Aiden must have prepared Moira for this encounter, so I have to imagine that he must have warned her that she might get to hold Evie in her hand. I’m so proud of all three of these bozos.
Moira POV chapter?

@SmolChlo Sounds like you need to write this down to purge your spirit.

Out of all my friends I figured she was the most likely to believe me
Of course this had to be the chief criterion. Aiden is smarter than me.
There’s a wistful part of me that’s mourning the fact that she’s no longer my little secret that I get to keep just for myself.
Oof, that’s gonna leave a mark.
I almost cave. Almost say something I shouldn’t. Or maybe I should. But instead I just say, “Oh… All good, then.”
I know this is an unprecedented crazy situation, Aiden, but the correct response is, “I like holding you, too.”
It’s a three-way race to see who will first call Aiden on his feelings for Evie, and honestly I have no idea who will win (or who I want to win).

I’m not even talking about wearable tinies because that’d be a whole new topic
Right, this is about containment.

RE: Out of their Element
@littlest-lily Aiden could clearly benefit from taking a class or two (probably online) about caring for disabled people. They emphasize that preserving dignity applies to the caregiver, as well. People can tell when someone is walking on eggshells around them, and they generally don’t like it.

RE: What's Your Favorite Pocket?
@ThumbLoverVer2 Tinies (usually) want safety first. The evil part is (nonconsensually) shrinking them in the first place. This chart only reflects the choice of containment method.
