@tiny-ivy I lost my job three months into COVID, and I’ve been temping and interviewing ever since. Eerily like contracting a shrinking plague.

@Giganto82 They’re afraid of catching Teh Gay.

@sloppy_amy Get in line.

Any dollhouse I might own would be a single-story and have a hinged-roof. You can’t hide from me.

@size_master I can attest it was much easier to collect shrunken pets back then when there weren’t cameras everywhere.

@nataliethetiny Isn’t that where the shrunken Halliwell sisters got housed?

@kisupure I remain deeply impressed by your ability to make the environment so compelling, rising above and rendering trivial the human-nak conflict. I also really enjoy how the hardship afflicts Gray and Rice differently.

Rice, and all the sons of the Algorithm, were an attempt at something new, and it was that newness that drew her to him.

This reminds me of a path-not-taken by the recent iteration of Battlestar Galactica. The Cylons are a very young civilization, and they look at humans with a weird mix of arrogance and deep insecurity. This story’s tropes encourage Rice to (seem to) have boundless confidence, and his knowledge of how the corpsmen are being farmed by the Naks keeps him from speaking freely around Gray, but he has to be aware of how precarious the whole setup is, and you have deftly hinted at that.

Of course, now I want to know how the new sentinel also knows the corpsmen by name. Has Rice been gossiping?

Wakanda could find no better defender than a giant M’Baku (Winston Duke), and a shrunken Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) would be an even more formidable spy.

@sloppy_amy I’ve found that it’s difficult to crush a skull that’s still in use.

@kisupure It wouldn’t have played well with the corpsmen, but Gray deserved to take Wesson out.

@nephilim It’s not a bill or a law at all. It’s just a trend in corporate behavior. Smut isn’t being made illegal, advertisers just don’t want to be associated with it.

ETA: Since (AFIAK) Daddy’s Dollhouse isn’t dependent upon advertiser revenue, it’s not threatened by this trend.
