I would be interested in seeing this type of tiny matched with a giant who has no desire to be worshipped/submitted to.

“No, I don’t want my feet rubbed. You’re only three inches tall; how much pressure do you think you could apply?”

Actually, this could be an interesting writing exercise- writing something outside of your own preferences. It would challenge you to be creative, and may even bring a fresh perspective to the topic.

This was, of course, the entire conceit behind Size Riot.

@littlest-lily To be fair to Camila, I’m sure a lot of people would have trouble believing their eyes when confronted with a shrunken person, no matter what their friends told them. Part of Camila probably still thinks Evie is some sort of automaton with a small speaker being remotely voiced by one of Aiden’s confederates.

The only solution I could suggest would be to let Camila handle Evie briefly.

@giant-me This is all I ever need or want. I don’t need anything else. Just lemme have these. I want to taste every square millimeter.

Though at this point I don’t think Evie (or Aiden for that matter) would feel comfortable with Camila picking her up.

Oh, it was a desperate suggestion. I’ve given up trying to forecast.

@cyberpool Oh, look at that mouthful! I’ll be all night tasting her.

Did you make this collage?

5’9", dad bod. If you want more details, I’ll be at SizeCon in Portland at the end of February.

I start putting a couple of things away with one hand while laying the other one on the counter to offer my girlfriend a ride.
She doesn’t miss a beat and has already hopped right onto my palm. Since I’m still tidying, I wasn’t even looking her way when I felt her little feet against my skin, but I’m instinctively closing my hand around her body.

@mrgoblinging7 Get caught in the candy jar, get sucked like a lemon drop.

Side note, but I’m pretty sure Stockholm syndrome was disproved, because the robbers were relatively normal people, and the police were such assholes the people ‘afflicted’ just didn’t want to help them.

This is correct. The police were incompetent and endangered the lives of the hostages, and afterwards one of the hostages (a woman) told reporters “At least the robbers expressed some concern for our safety.” The police were indignant and smeared the hostages as emotionally unstable and brainwashed by the robbers.

“Stockholm Syndrome” might have been forgotten as baseless slander but a couple of years later the Patty Hearst trial was all over the media and defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey (whom you might remember from the OJ Simpson trial) tried to use a “brainwashing” defense for Hearst, who had actively participated in crimes committed by her kidnappers. The defense failed, but the “syndrome” was implanted in the public consciousness.

@littlest-lily It’s like dancing. It’s what dancing celebrates.

@mrgoblinging7 Watch out for the beak.

A jar just traps a tiny, but it gives them no privacy and no coziness. It’s not shelter. It’s a prison, fit for a mere object or for a curiosity.

Yup, jars are for callous-to-cruel custodians.

However, I get the need to be able to see your tiny at all times. Might I suggest a terrarium? It can be furnished, including separate areas for watering, feeding, and toileting.

My ideal setup would have the terrarium on an extendible bookshelf that can be rolled back inside the shelving unit with a retractable front panel when concealment is necessary. When extended, the terrarium would be next to my desk chair with the top level with my desktop so I could keep an eye on her/them while I work.

@littlest-lily Ngl, got scared during that last passage. I’m such a mom too.

@giant-me Ursula’s just fine the way she is.
