#what it is to be tiny

[littleflorablr]

Have you recently taken charge of a freshly-shrunken tiny? You may have noticed that your little one is having trouble adapting to their new size. Lots of people have talked about the square-cube law, but here are some lesser-known things they may have trouble adjusting to:

Walking You probably know that things fall at the same rate regardless of how heavy they are. And you've probably noticed that your tiny's head is a lot closer to the ground than yours is. But did you realize that that means they hit the ground a lot faster? A tiny below a certain size is unlikely to ever react fast enough to catch themself if they trip. Some will even be unable to get their leg forward quickly enough to walk, although they may be able to take advantage of square-cube muscle facts to bounce like a lunar astronaut instead.

Breathing Did you know that smaller lungs hold less air? It sounds obvious, but you may not have realized the consequences for a tiny. Many methods of shrinking don't reduce the number of cells in a body, so a lot of shrunken people still need the same amount of oxygen - but they can't pull it into their body nearly as fast. People who already had breathing problems, like asthmatics or smokers, can be in real trouble if they don't get back to a bigger size. Even those without breathing trouble can find themselves getting worn out easily - that's got less to do with losing muscle strength than you might think! Smaller lungs also can't blow air out with as much force, so your tiny speaks a lot quieter than they used to. Keep a close ear out until both you and they are familiar with their new range.

Eating and drinking Have you ever looked at a tiny person's teeth? They're really small! Even biting down hard, it may be impossible to pierce through some barriers. Make sure your tiny has access to food they can fit in their mouths, and be careful of things like bread crusts and fruit skins. Also, food seasonings tend to be a problem for a lot of little people: someone the size of a Barbie might end up with a mouthful of nothing but paprika and another mouthful that's totally unseasoned, even where a big person eating from the same spot wouldn't notice anything. A lot of smaller tinies can have trouble with surface tension in their water. Embarrassing as it might be, they may have more luck drinking from a container they can put their whole head into. Alternately, moving water is less tense, so providing some kind of stream or drip to drink from can be helpful.

A Quintesson attack leaves Megatron in need of repairs.

Let’s pretend this takes place early where Megatron isn’t incredibly paranoid about back stabbing (Starscream) yet

rewatching merlin is like: here's the softest most joyful person you've met. watch as the universe slowly breaks him down and forces him to lose all of his happiness, but still smile away softly so his best friend doesn't know...

Gerald let Maria and Shadow spend time together. He saw that Shadow won't hurt her and he let them be friends. This is so important. He called them "kids" and also when he says "they want to take Shadow away from us" - he cared about Shadow too and realized that he is just a kid just like his granddaughter. Gerald was definitely a good grandpa and a good guy before Maria got killed.

don't worry i don't actually thirst over any of these characters (they lied)

So how do we accommodate for tinies who need ongoing medications? The ones with depression or diabetes, the trans ones, the ones with heart conditions...

In a world where tinies and bigs have openly coexisted for a while, it's reasonable to suppose that the dosages (and formulas, perhaps) have been worked out and can be obtained. But what if it's not that? If someone just shrinks one day, what happens then? Assuming they don't magically get their bodies fixed in the process... do they have to deal with suddenly going off of all their medications, in addition to the conditions they were to treat in the first place? Do they chip off pieces of pills and hope that it's pretty close to the right amount? What about insulin and other injected medications - nobody makes needles any but the biggest tinies can conveniently use, and they'd have the same dosage issues...

Not being used to the princess treatment or being taken care of. You're not one to rely on others, so when you get in a relationship with Soap, you don't realize how independent you are, relying on yourself to do things, not going to him for emotional needs. Sometimes, even taking care of physical ones on your own because you don't want to bother him or seem clingy.

He gets upset, naturally.

You don't let him open doors for you, nor do you let him pull out your chair at the dinner table. If you're sick, you insist on sleeping in the guest bedroom and taking care of yourself until the illness has passed. When you're on your period, he's excited to give you anything you need, but then you don't ask him for ice cream, or chocolate, you don't even ask for cuddles??

Not to forget the times when you didn't wake him up to help take care of you because you didn't want to 'disturb his sleep'. Fuck his sleep, he could've gotten that later, he would've loved to have a sleepy fuck with you. It almost feels like a betrayal that you snuck away to the guest room to get yourself off. If you'd asked, he would've happily taken care of you.

He needs to feel needed. Needs you to need him. Wants you to need him. Has he not shown you that he can provide? That he can take care of you?

But then think about finally giving in, and slowly letting him take care of you. He breaks down your walls, coaxes you into accepting his help, spoils you with affection. Peeling away that hard shell, and revealing that soft underbelly that didn't know how much it wanted and needed to be treated so sweetly.

It's a process, but Soap will get you used to the princess treatment. You don't have to be so strong all the time. He'll give you what you need if you give him the chance.

"Hen, I'd give anything for you to be needy. Let me take care of you.")

ALRIGHT IM DONE 👍

Mecha Pilot Prowl and his Mech~

Those thrusters can change positions for the sake of. Basically flying. I wanted to give Prowl at least some advantage so he would be able to keep up with Jazz haha. He can’t fly infinitely because it will burn out all the fuel but yeah. Something like biggg leaps and dashes >:D

+ bonus. size comparison (yes I like to make human-made mechs bigger than Cybertronians~) ((yes I made Prowl precisely the size he needs to be to fit in Jazz’s palm))

Jazz, while being trapped on Quintesson spaceship with his visor broken: oh cool this thing is vaguely robot shaped!

Prowl, while being trapped on the same ship without his glasses: the blurry blob is human shaped thank god..

…….and they were both fucking blind /j

Griddlehark size difference - yes?

Prom Invite

Wanna know what would be funny.

DeadTired Prom story.

Like no really hear me out.

As a bet or a dare or just Danny deciding to shoot his shot, Danny asks Tim Drake-Wayne to Casper's High Senior Prom via social media. He honestly thinks it will NEVER happen because come on its the internet and stuff.

But what if, what if Tim whose had an argument with Bruce or something and wanting to have some normal fun again before he became CO-CEO of WE or Red Robin see's the @ Danny sent him and decides you know what.

WHY THE HECK NOT?!

Danny wasn't expecting the guy to show up on prom night to pick him.
