Do not take anything I say as mental health advice. Work with a trusted therapist who is accountable to you and you can be open with.

That being said, labels on feelings can help us feel like we are in control, especially when we’ve felt out of control for a long time, but they can also become our identities.

Fantasies help us manage and escape that. Even JRR Tolkien defended fairy stories (though he didn’t mean smut it still applies) as a way for a prisoner to look out through the bars.

I have plenty of problems (autistic, if you want one label) but I had the good fortune to be born in a time with thousands of stories, every one of them is an extra lifetime that I wouldn’t have gotten to live.

I’ve read so many books and so many short stories and every single time I dive in and become someone new and live in their world for a while. Much less expensive than going to Disneyland.

You can call it a cope. My life doesn’t suck, but I had terrible tragedy in it. I’ve seen some horrible things. But I don’t treat my many lives as cope, but as the kaleidoscope of me that’s gotten to live all those thousand lifetimes while only having one to spend.

@TakoAlice8 don’t worry, you’re fine :3

@Olo He just wants to play with her

Yeah, they definitely didn’t have children in mind when they came up with these shitty laws. If we all understand this much, we must stop getting mixed up in debates about what underage users should be allowed to access. We shouldn’t even acknowledge this deceptive justification for their coordinated mass-surveillance laws.

They start with the age-old excuse of monitoring porn sites before slowly creeping their dirty fingers into every other aspect of our digital lives. It’s the first stepping stone to normalize future more invasive policies.

I genuinely hate the future we’re heading to with all my guts… I hope this will at least incentivize more developers to look into decentralized Web 3.0 alternatives that are much more difficult to control, censor or monitor by a single government or company.

Mastodon said a couple months ago that enforcing age verification is essentially impossible given the decentralized nature of their technology. Maybe a site migration to a decentralized forum might be necessary in the future?

@ilikehotmatcha a fellow cultured artist 🤝

@HHunter1 More interesting points are that in standard art it’s commonly accepted that a body should be 7.5-8 times the ratio of the head for regular proportioning, but comic book artists normally draw superheroes as 9 heads scale for the body to make the character look bigger and more buff. With the advent of female superheroes I’d guess that had a lot to do with Amazons being larger. Also, I’d guess the patriarchy had a hand. You’d be surprised by how many submissive men I’ve spoken with that blithely assumed that if they ever rebelled against a FemDomme it would be no contest. So it was almost a necessity that Dominant Women become taller and more muscular so men would take their authority seriously. As I write this, it’s just occurring to me that I wonder if this had anything to do with the fascination with midget wrestling. Tiny people fighting seems almost counter-intuitive in our society. Even more so, this makes me think of the fascination with Bruce Lee.

@protect-tinies Hey now that’s an idea. I will try that that next time. 😊

I much prefer “lilliputienne”.

German doesn’t seem to like double consonants like those in “Lilliput.” Their words for male and female inhabitants of Lilliput are Liliputaner and Lililputanerin.

I bought the first hard copy of Milo Manara’s Gulliveriana I came across, which was in France. When Gulliveriana finally has her big disagreement with the Empress of Lilliput, she calls the latter a “Lilliputasse.”

Nope no tags on iPhone but I do see tags on iPad

@TakoAlice8 I go by Gulliver rules. Whoever is the “normal” size is not the big or the small one.

Mixed size societies still tend to have areas that are specialized for one size or the other.

Tangent: There was very little sexy about Zootopia to me, overall more cute and funny than anything, but the depiction of the shrew or mouse city that there’s a chase scene in kind of got my imagination going about what that would be like with tiny humans…just as a normal part of a city.

@The-Big-G said in I have a g/t anime recomendation:

it hurts to hear my childhood shows called retro

I feel you :’)

If you guys want to write a chapter to this story and continue it you can. I discovered writing stories isn’t really my thing and I won’t continue the story.

@tiny-ivy Where did you post the fairy story, would love to read it ❤️

(Edit: found where the story is posted 😆 )

They broke the rules but as far as I can tell it hasn’t effected any one else at this point so unless someone comes forward to put in a complaint I see no reason they can’t stay. Plus they seem genuinely remorseful for what they did so I’m leaving it up to them to decide what happens or until something more develops

@TakoAlice8 I’ve joined! It’s still in its early stages, but it seems like lots of people are involved in helping it ramp up. I’m optimistic of its growth 🙂

It probably stems from it, I’m frickin miniscule for a guy my age from my area and wish I was not this small.

@Olo This is absolutely amazing. I love the way she is holding all those girls. Although Overwatch has died a long time ago. Pictures like these keep the ip strong. Thank you so much for this. 😊
