I love 'em because if you hold them upside down it’s like someone done peeled your banana for you.

@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.

@shrunkenlaura I want my little ladies to be able to dine like civilized people. Assuming I don’t have the capacity to simply shrink plates, glasses, or utensils, what do you suggest for dining paraphernalia?

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

Needs source. I’m fairly certain this features @tinysupervicki (that’s my tongue, of course).

@giant-man-1984 Absolutely.

@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?

@nyx Beer-nut size, I call 'em.

Here’s a follow-up question: Of the women in your life that you’d like to see tiny, how many do you imagine would prefer/embrace a shrunken life, and how many do you imagine would protest/resist?

That’s been a common exercise for me as I get to know new people; does X have a personality best-suited to becoming giant or tiny, or should they remain normal-sized but in the presence of a giant or a tiny me? Endlessly diverting…

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

@speckgirl She’s the side-piece now…
