@foreverlurk well when Mr. Greenhouse informed me this was just a hobby, it hit me like a ton of bricks that the rest of these people are just miniaturists and in that very moment ALL the confidence left my soul 
too bad I couldn’t shrink down in my seat and scurry away! 
@Olo right! My girl in the back got me 
She briefly explained to the people around us what it was and said “it was cute”. I was worried when she first started explaining it but she seemed very educated on the topic and was chill about it
@foreverlurk but of course ~
I was helping this guy adjust a light fixture inside his miniature greenhouse, he wasn’t saying much and sometimes silence makes me uncomfortable so I thought it would be a good idea to ask him if he prefers to be tiny or a Giant?
My dear friends of Papa’s Dollhouse, the silence was so painful and after a lengthy pause he explains that he simply enjoys building miniature structures as a hobby and nothing more. He then proceeded to nervously ask me what I was talking about and if I had a preference?? to which I replied I have a desire to be 4” tall. His face was slowly starting to turn red, leaning closer he whispered “why” … at that point I was so embarrassed that I word vomited all over him and blurted “I want to be the size of a toy so that a man can play with me!” Didn’t help that one of the girls overheard us and said “ooooohhh I know what that is!”
@HHunter1 I haven’t started shopping for the characters yet but you’re giving me so many ideas! Part of me is sad bc I can’t shrink down and hang out in the coffee shop myself 
I really want to play with my fake popsicles
smashes tiny figurines out of jealousy
@Deedee I haven’t tried 3D printing yet but it’s looks super cool! I’m sure those building structures come out flawless. I’m mostly fascinated by the fake food and utensils, I always find myself fiddling with the miniature cups and dishes lol My friend made me some cute popsicles from resin
@Olo I completely agree! I learned the hard way that not all miniaturists are macrophiles 
oh well, at least they learned day 1 that I’m actually 4”
just a smol building for other smols
@blehb omg can you imagine all of us tiny and living together?! 🥳
Hmmm I wonder who would get to keep the complex, we’ll need Giant supervision lol
@foreverlurk right!! Her model is 1:12 scale if that helps? But I get what you mean, there’s nothing like watching a normal sized hand interact with miniature objects ~ The coffee shop I’m currently building is also 1:12 scale. I’ll be sure to take pictures as I go so you can get an idea of the size differences. It’s funny, I feel very tiny as I tinker away on these things even though I’m technically the Giant lol
@Olo a little bug who won’t stop pressing her dirty pillows up against the glass. Work from home would be impossible
I’m part of a miniaturist community and one of our members shared with us her latest model and I couldn’t wait to show you guys!
I’m a sucker for the classic wooden dollhouse but I’m really digging this all glass design… unfortunately (or fortunately 
) there’s not much privacy for us tinies
“Got some unresolved issues with the patriarchy?”
Say less 
@blehb being dominated by feet adds that little extra spice of humiliation that I crave but to each their own. I’ve also wondered why men seem to get squirrelly when you go for their butt or feet 
@SmolChlo something I’ve also noticed is how my tastes have changed and developed the more I interact with all of you. Looking at images and reading stories by yourself sorta keeps you (in kept me) in the same continuous loop but listening to all of you discuss and post your different preferences and interests have definitely influenced mine.
@blehb I don’t think I’d adore feet as much as I do if it wasn’t for this fetish. It’s definitely helped me learn to love and appreciate up close views of the human body as well as the gross and even stinkier parts 
@Olo I have plenty to share I could even teach her how to wag it for her owner
