@smolchlo This is turning into a Dr. Suess story.

What I would give to truly be in his world again, just for a moment. [Emphasis added]

Whoa.

@littlest-lily I’d like to clarify that what seems to be proposed here is a SFW-focused space outside of Daddy’s Dollhouse. If not, then close consultation with @Jitensha would be in order.

While my abiding interest in Size Fantasy is sexual, I would be delighted to see what a SFW-focused space would produce. I’m fascinated by Sizey world-building, which tends to be more thought-through by creators who aren’t mainly chasing their Size thirst.

Would this proposed space still be about GM/SW?

@smolchlo It means I’m OLD.

@littlest-lily “Poignant” is how they describe it in literary criticism.

@i-am-insane There are not a few biggo-identifying folks who indeed enjoy leaving a guilt-free swath of destruction through populated areas.

Not:

“This is my accidentally shrunken friend. Evie.”

Not:

“This is my roommate. Evie.”

“This is my girlfriend. Evie.”

I get that Evie was shaken up, but if I were her I’d take the first opportunity to interrogate Moira and Star about Aiden’s history with Camila.

@littlest-lily This is how I’ve identified another “axis” for categorizing size fantasies. Unaware, giant or tiny, falls on the “Indifferent” end of the spectrum, where people of a different size are relatively anonymous and undifferentiated, and the protagonist is usually only talking to themselves. The other end of the spectrum is “Intimate,” where who the differently-sized people are matters greatly.

@smolchlo That’s all I meant: it sounded like The Snootches and Other Stories.

@foreverlurk A friend of mine tried to order some in Montréal, but with his high school French of course it came out “putain.”

@foreverlurk I think he did a fair job of acknowledging that his personal preferences were not universal among Size fans. Where he could (as in the passage you cite) he used gender-neutral terms, which is proper because the sentiment expressed is applicable to all Size configurations.

@smolchlo Jacek Chmielnik was born in 1953 (d. 2007). I’m not as old as that, but I am older than he was in the photo I use for my avatar.

@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.

@SmolChlo I’d be very interested to hear your experiences, thoughts, and feelings on this topic. If you’re so inclined, you can leave a comment on the blog page (that goes for any reaction one might have to any element of the podcast).

I actually don’t know that much about Hammer’s remarks, who his intended audience was, or whether this was an invasion of privacy.
