My cooling shadow
Turns to flames when I grab it
I had a nice day today. I saw friends, I laughed, and I created. My mind is rushing with ideas I can’t wait to bring into existence. Stories, drawings, and other kinds of creativity that connect with the woman I really am: the enormous woman that sees it all from here, and wants to rearrange it to suit my wants.
I was only dissapointed when I went to my local used bookstore and tried to find Atom comics, which I’ve recently started to collect. I had no luck, but there was other stuff I really liked, that I think I want to emulate when I start creating my own shrunken-man/giantess comics, coming soon to a website near you.
I’ve started one comic already, and the layout for my second one is complete. I’m completely ignoring the fact that I only started drawing the year before last, and that I have no formal artistic training, and I’m jumping into these activities head first. Sure, yeah. That’s my head. That’s it, for now.
I got Gail Simone to sign my copy of The All New Atom: My Life in Miniature.
What.
I don’t put any importance on autographs, but I still know that is awesome.
She wrote: “Long live Ryan!”
She should have wished for SHORT LIVE RYAN.
Why can’t normies get it straight?
She’s a normie, alright. One time, one of our “favorite” shrunken men went at her on Twitter, taunting her to write “more giantess” comics. It was as cringey as you can imagine.
Part of me understands Sargent Cringey. On two different occasions, I asked two IRL people what they’d do if they found themselves tiny in my presence.
One said they would try to kill me.
The other one hoped I would protect him.
They are both right, and I would meet both in the middle.
In the middle of your favours?
You’re bolder than I am. The closest I’ve come to parading my size enthusiasms to IRL people has been in the plausibly-deniable arena of role-playing games.
I think I only meant that I would not have allowed a tiny person that angry with me to be close to me.
And that I might have taken good care of the other person, but probably not all the time.
I might think my approach bold, but I didn’t continue either conversation, and let the matter rest.
I’m off to put that extraordinary follow-through into writing.
Take it easy, Squid. Me, I’m going to catch up on my CruelJan20 evaluations.
Try eBay for the comics.
Most comic book stores have card games and newer comics.
Sure, though it’s more fun to plow through thousands of comics to find an abandoned treasure.
