“I can’t believe how long they talked about little food and diets. Pellets exist for a reason.” Dayton said with a sigh. “Sure, I might give my future little some people food as a treat but they would mostly eat pellets like most other littles.” Dayton said.
“Pellets do make things easier I will admit. You just give them three or four pellets a meal and don’t have to fuss or think much on it. I understand its possible to curate a diet but its not practical the way they laid it out. You have to eat so unnaturally just and what if they don’t like alot of the food they would ahve to eat. It’s not like you can just feed your little pizza.” Sydney said agreeing with Dayton.
“I suppose they have to present all sides but my little is eating pellets. Even Thomas pretty much eats pellets without much complaint at all.” Dayton added.
“Hmm yeah, i never even thought about it but in the couple months now we’ve had him he has never complained about pellets other then he didn’t like the chicken and pea’s pellets.” Sydney said as she fell back onto her bed while still holding Thomas.
“So, was that text your parents? Did they get you that little you picked out?” Dayton asked.
“I didn’t want to seem like i was bragging in front of everyone in class but yes, I can’t wait. They have her on hold for me. As soon as we graduate next week I will get my little. I never thought about getting a female before, but the price was right.” Sydney said happily.
“You’re so lucky. My mom’s making me wait. But it’s not like I don’t have access to a bunch. It’s just I really want my own.” Dayton said with a slight whine.
“I’m sure you will get one soon. Your family can afford one plus I still can’t believe you know Sarandipity. It sucked lil’dipity couldn’t make it. He’s, my favorite. I love how he has that I don’t want to do anything personality but then gets really into the games once he is forced to play. It’s so funny.” Sydney said.
“My favorite is when Sara was playing that farming simulator game a couple months ago and he was complaining the whole time before they started and then later on you see the farm Jordy made and he was super into it. Deep in the processes and menu’s.” Dayton said.
“It’s weird to me that you actually know them by their real names. That’s so cool.” Sydney said. “I don’t know anyone famous like you do.” Sydney said as she held Thomas in her hand before setting him down onto the same bed she was lying on. Thomas for her part couldn’t get over just how large each strand of her was. It was thick and rope like that seemed to spill out endlessly around head. He was certain she could tie him up with her hair and it would be doubtful he could break the strand.
“They aren’t really famous to be as I’ve known them most of my life. I mean it’s just Sara to me and Jordy I’ve known since she got him. So, he’s just Jordy.” Dayton added before changing the subject. “I’m more surprised your family is going to spend all of the inheritance you all are getting on getting you trained and then getting you a little.” Dayton said.
“I’m so grateful. I’ve wanted an underbred since as soon as they were thing. I love small things. I dont know i just find them cute you know and i like the idea of a pet but also i hate having to clean up after one like you do with a dog or a cat. A little is the perfect pet as their shit is practically microsscopic you can jsut leave it in the yard or its like a speck of dirt in a toilet. The most you have to do is feed them some pellets or a bit of your food. You can actually talk and have conversation with them.” Sydney said.
“All of that is true but from what I understand it’s a bit different once you get them home. It’s hard to put into words. They are capable of much deeper thought then traditional pets so they aren’t as grateful I guess is a way to put it. I guess you will see. But, i only ever Sara and Jordy to base it off as far as guardians who have littles who didn’t know each other before. As Mallory was dating gavin and Nicolle’s take care of her sister, Kayla takes care of her sister.” Dayton said thinking about the little pairings she knew.
“All those people you know have littles. How many people do you know with littles.” Sydney asked.
“Hmm like seven or eight. Some of my friends have them and then Sara and her friends have some and we’re friends now and you’re getting one so that’s one more to the list.” Dayton said “We’re still hanging out next weekend though right?” Dayton asked
“Yeah of course. It’s going to be a blast hanging out outside of training. My friends and I aren’t all fancy or anything like you though.” Sydney said trying to set expectations.
“I don’t care about all that. Money isn’t important. I mean it makes life easier at times but it’s not important, at least how I view it. It’s what my dad always says. My mom is kind of obsessed with it.”
“Oh yeah your dad wasn’t home when I was over at your place a couple weeks ago. I just met your mom.” Sydney said.
“Thats because my parents are divorced. It was mutual they aren’t on bad terms or anything. They seem happier apart than they ever were together. Holidays are great as Dad always feels like he has to make up for the fact he lives far away and doesn’t get to see me often.” Dayton explaiend.
“I had no idea. I’m sorry.” Sydney said apologetically
“Don’t be. It’s cool. I get to see him a few times a year. It’s mostly fun. Plus I get to see my friend Chrissy whenever I get to visit my dad.”
Thomas was completely lost throughout the conversation they were having. He was just ready for this to be done. He didn’t mind Sydny but Dayton was a whole nother beast. SHe was much more dominant then Sydny was with him. Sydney had her moments but he liked her better then Dayton.
“Are you done with Thomas?” Dayton asked as Thomas’s blood practically stopped pumping through his body. He tried to climb onto Sydney to engratiate himself to her so she would keep him but she casually responded with a yes as she looked for him a for a moment before spotting him. Thomas could do nothing as Sydney grabbed hold of him before turning her body so her legs stretched out across the bed and her back part of her head hung over the side.
“Wait Sydney” Thomas shouted fearful and unsure what was happening exactly. Before he could say anything further Sydney dangled her arm down towards the floor. Thomaso screamed in a panic as the only thing keeping him from dropping what seemed like hundreds of feet to the floorw as Sydney holding him. Mentalyl he knew it was only maybe eight feet at the most probably less. It was a simple loft bed but visually all his mind could see was a seemingly endless distance to the floor where he would end splattered like paste.
Thomas watched Dayton stand up and thumping and slapping of her bare feet on the hard floor as she approached each second Dayton looming larger and larger before her hand outstretched and reached towards him. As much as he didn’t want to go with Dayton she also seemed like salvation in this momnent. As her hand coiled around him he could feel Sydney’s hold him releasing until he was buried in the flesh of Daytons hand. She walked about the room gathering god only knows what from Thomas’s perspective until she say back down stretching her leg backout on soft cushions before setting Thomas down next to her.
“Here Thomas, I loosened the top for you so you can just pull it right off. You’re welcome. You look artsy I’m sure its not your first time handing a brush. England is known for its fine arts so I’m sure you should be fine. You all had that renaissance period and stuff. So just start with some even strokes to kind of make create the canvas.” Dayton as Thomas looked down at the light pastel pink nail polish.
“Oh my god, you’re going to have him paint your nails. Is that even a thing?” Sydney said.
“It’s practically what god made them for. Thomas chop, chop” Dayton said with clap of her hands. Thomas was about to say something he wasn’t artist he didn’t know the first thing about art. He wasn’t even dressed do any kind of painting. However, as his eyes met Dayton’s he knew better. He just needed to get through the rest of this week then he was free of her. He was back at Generitech, back in littleopolis which was the little city Chloe had more for the littles who worked for Generitech. While more smallborns were showing up as of late which was a bit annyoing in this moment Thomas didn’t even care. He would much rather deal with that then Dayton.
Thomas walked towards the giant tube nailpolish. He sickened even moreso by the sheer size of it. He remembered these in his old life. His female friends would have all shades of these. Now a simpel small bottle of nail polish was absolutely huge. He suspected if Dayton hadn’t undid the cap it would have been impossible for him. The cap itself wasn’t heavy but it was moreso awkward.
“Once he finishes with mine he can do yours. I mean we dont have much time left with him but it’s probably worth training him in for the next juniors. It’s important to give back to others as Sara always says. What better way to give back to future guardians then teaching some important life skills to a underprivileged underbred like Thomas. Once he gets through a few more classes who knows maybe they could promote him to a nail artist.
“Does generitech have a nail salon where you can have littles give you pedicures and stuff? I would totally pay for that. I love having him nails done. There’s a shop near my house we have to go. I mean they don’t have littles but they give a killer foot massage before they do your nails and they kind of massage your head as shampoo your hair its so good.”
“That sounds great. Is it okay if I bring Nicole? She’s one of my best friends and you’re my newest best friend so its only seems right you to meet and stuff,” Dayton said.
“Yeah, I can bring April. She’s my Nicole. We’ve been friends forever. You’ll love her.” Sydney said as she watched Thomas awkwardly walk over to Dayton’s big toe and start painting.
“Thomas, you want to hold your breath as your putting paint to nail so you don’t shake. Then you you exhale and breath after you finish a stroke and are lifting it up for next. It’s similar to shooting a gun. If you hold your breath when you aim you don’t shake at all. This is the same thing. You’re welcome, this education is free. I know Generitech taught you practical stuff but this is the real world education you’re going to need. If you do a good job I’ll give you a full body underbred massage. But only if you do good but i know you can. You learn so quickly. You’re way smarter then Jordy.” Dayton as she leaned back against the pillow.
“So what’s public school like? I’ve never been to one.” Dayton asked as Sydney and Dayton chatted the rest of the evening away.
——-
Yeah no just no big fat ass no Dayton needs to fail at this point she doesn’t deserve to be a guardian I don’t care it just no at least I can stand Sara and her BS moments with Jordan but hell no with Dayton.
Seeing Jordan play video games with Sara sounds fun and how Littles that know there guardians have a different way than strangers most of the time also Chrissy?!!!! Dayton know Chrissy oh god please don’t let her anywhere near Scott bro is living the life and is at peace like hell fucking no to that interaction
Great chapter can’t wait for September 2
Yeah fuck Dayton. It’d be so much better to see Sydney pass and her fail, and watch Daytons jealous meltdown
Exactly at least Sydney seems like she cares and has more sense of respect and empathy towards Littles Dayton seems like she is looking for her next servant which I hate so much
The fact that she acts like she’s buddy buddy with Chloe who has the polar opposite views of her is infuriating. I want that phone call to bite her in the ass so bad. Or even have her threaten to call Chloe just for Chloe to show up and tell her she knows that Dayton tried using her name for influence and that isn’t acceptable for anyone, especially a guardian, to do. Like Sara didn’t do that I bet. Ellie I can’t say for certain if she’d have needed to give what we now know.
She is friends with Chrissy but she only gets to see her when she visits her dad. Otherwise they can only talk on the phone and message each other.
Dayton wouldn’t be my pick for guardian if I was a little. Your reaction to her is the intended reaction of her character.
I hate her lol the fact that Thomas is so afraid of her has to factor into this. Please, if there is one thing I want from all of these stories more than a team dynamic, is for Dayton to fail. She a disrespectful spoiled shit and I can’t fucking stand the idea of her passing with flying colors and getting everything she wants. Thomas has to be a factor in her passing or failing otherwise why use little at all for training
Yes thank you!!!!! She scared the shit out Jordan giving him nightmares and PSTD and she use Chloe to scare Thomas into submission like wtf !!!!! How can anyone like her pass with flying colors do they not factor into the emotional state of Littles when training this people.
The shitty thing is, when you really think about it, is that madison and her mom had passed the training, but idk if that was still with dolls or with real Littles. But that doesn’t bode well for us that know Dayton should fail
You have to remember Dayton’s character as in morals and ethics are not being judged. It’s materially can she pass the skills test and does she know the required academic material. Can she pass a background check which she had to do even take the training for licensure.
That’s what the United Stats of America and its allies look for in regards to guardianship testing and licensure.
It’s not all that different from any other federal license. It’s kind of like anything else. You don’t need to be a good person to be a licensed doctor, or lawyer. YOu don’t need to be a good person to own a gun or get a car license. You don’t even need to be a good person to be licensed for daycare. You do have to past backgrounds checks and complete some testing materials.
But a lot of what you don’t like about Dayton which i agree on. Wouldn’t factor into the course. It would need to be something that would show up on a background check.
I hate that though lol like if its all strictly knowing the material and passing a background check, why bother using real littles and putting them at risk? and why go through generitech at all for licensing if it’s a federal standard that needs to be met? Should a federal examiner be the ones to determine pass fail in this case? Like the DMV is all state owned and I can get trained for a drivers license through whomever I want, I just don’t get the extra effort needed by mandating all training and testing be done by Generitech, unless there’s something I’m missing. Like wouldn’t that make them liable for a lawsuit for monopolizing on littles? not that I want Generitech to go away cause I’m pretty pro-them for the most part, but it still all goes back to me assuming they want the absolute best for their product, and just handing out littles with no standard seems counter intuitive
The other big ticket problem is the fact that Littles aren’t objects. They can literally communicate and think at a deeper level and know when they’re safe and when they aren’t, or when their needs are being met and when they aren’t and they can communicate that. If they’re using live littles for training, then that should be a factor for pass\fail, otherwise I don’t see the point in it as it just needlessly puts them at risk. It’s the same thing for a surgeon or anything in the medical field. Sure you could practice on humans all you want, but typically you want to run through the process on a cadaver a few times until you even get to that point.
idk. that’s just my main criticism of this universe, everything else I end up seeing your pov on I think and get your point. Guardians are seemingly exempt from consequences as far as I can see, not counting Greg and Cindy because how often does what happened to them really happen in general. I mean, I know it’s probably too obvious for it to happen and I do like that you keep us guessing, but Dayton as a character is the perfect candidate to actually have consequences for her attitude. Like if she failed the course because Thomas provided evaluation data to the testers pointing out that a little could be put in a dangerous position because Dayton lacks the maturity and respect to make the correct judgements, that’d be a real wake up call for her. Or if she got a smallborn and said smallborn was just afraid of her all of the time and expressed it to Jordan, who in turn told Sara, and Sara had to have a serious sister to sister moment with Dayton, that’d work to. I
Licensing system exists to make the government money. That is it. Pure greed. The government then takes that money to pay for other government programs, road upkeep, etc. It goes into federal budget. The license is a government license that generitech is providing. There instructors are licensed to federal standard.
Generitech doesn’t own the licensing. They just administrate it. They make there money off the actual littles and the sale of little products.
They also make money off the training itself as you need the training in order get the license but they don’t make money off the license if that makes sense. As originally generitech won the bid to create the training program for the government which then awarded the license ebut the government didn’t want to spend the upkeep on the training program so historically generitech takeover the training program itself but the license is a fee paid to the government. Generitech doesn’t get that money.
Littles being in the program was done as two fold. One it gives junior guardians a chance to experience what its actually like and it also gives generitech an avenue to employ some littles internally. The littles are paid credits for there work as Thomas talked about. That is the job they are being paid for. Thomas isn’t paid to judge Dayton its actually more advantageous to him if she passes as he would get additional credits. His job more is to properly educate the person on holding, little walking, caring, feeding, verbal and social interactions, providing the guardian with a more realistic experience so they aren’t as blindsided as Sara was when she got Jordan.
I wouldn’t say guardians are exempt from consequence as a dog owner isn’t exempt from consequence if they abuse or neglect there dog.
You are also seeing a system at the start of its creation. The point is not for me to design the perfect system they put into place immediately. It’s for it to be a flawed system that is refined as that is more realistic of what would happen.
Look at what happened in the U.S. when we were over ran with people trying to immigrate into the U.S. we ended up with people in cages as the system could not cope and someone thought cages were a good solution?
We ahve redcross that has companies donating millions of bottles of water that then go to waste as they can’t figure out how to get them to the people who need it.
You can see improvements in the system over time as Madion’s world has a much more refiend system then Sara went through.
Dayton’s training is more refined then Sara’s training for instance as Dayton has Thomas and more hands on experience.
Even thomas talked about having a home and a career path he wants to advance through. So form a little standpoint things are better slowly. As that’s how government works.
The story is supposed to be frustrating in that regard at times as often as people just like in real life. We are like why cant you just do this. IT would make it so much easier and better. But that’s not how governments work. It takes a lot to move and turn them in the right direction and you have a lot of people with different beliefs and wants giving input so often a good solution gets a bit watered down like we saw with Obamacare in the u.s.
In order for Dayton to fail for maturity that would need to be a parameter in the same way maturity isn’t a factor in gun ownership in the U.S. Should be? yes. But you need to get government and its official to agree on that and then people/citzems to embrace that.
Okay, so a lot of this, to me, seems to be an issue with how the government views littles vs how Generitech and people with actual morals see them if i follow you correctly lol like it sounds like from a civil rights and legal aspect, they might view them as more than object and normal animals, but marginally. Cause I have a hard time beleiving that Generitech, given it’s ownership, thinks the same way, though I’m a bit biased since I base Generitech off of Chloe and now Thomas, who seems to love Generitech
I can taper my expectations and whatnot for Dayton and madison, too. I think it’d be way more of a big growth moment for her to fail, but based on you examples, as frustrating as it is, it makes sense.
I did see you say that she and Chrissy are friends, so I wonder if her infrequent visits combined with Sara at some point finally telling her that her behavior is wrong and she needs to change if she ever wants a little to actually like her will help her grow, but this version of dayton sucks lmao from a pro-little perspective. For a character, she’s obviously good cause much like madison she pisses me off but i can’t stop wondering what will happen next.
That’s dangerous. If she ends up with a little constantly afraid I wouldn’t be surprised if they hurt themselves to escape the torment.
I dont know if Dayton has done enough to torment to the level of self harm though.
Would thomas really kill himself because he was asked to check if the dirt in a plant was dry, paint her nails and do some math calculations becuas he was good at math?
People go to work everyday at jobs they don’t like. He is being paid. It’s a job he wanted to do. So i mean that should also factor in. One would assume you would encounter nice easy going, and more controlling people.
Just because he has to deal with dayton now doesn’t mean his next assignment won’t be easy peasy in comparison. It’s like customer service you have good and bad encounters. BUt each one is an opportunity for something new.
I would agree with you Dayton was doing Sadie levels of torment. But she wasn’t being all that cruel in my opinion.
Dayton’s going to make a great guardian and I can’t wait to see who her little is in a future update.
May the Maker’s blessing light your path.
I love the duality of opinions on Dayton.
What can I say Dayton left an impression on me.
She gets a bad rap in my opinion.
I like her as a character. Shes fun to write. But i can see why readers don’t like her as i write her with a personality and attitude that wouldn’t be likeable if you are pro little. As she does view littles on the extreme side as of pet who can be taught things.
She’s like Ashley Williams from Mass Effect in that regard they view things differently and that’s a turn-off for some people.
I will say that reading the Smallaraverse has given me ideas to write a story or two set in this universe if that’s okay with you.
.
go for it. I will be excited to read them.
Alright thanks.
woohoo! excited to see what you write!
She’s the worst. She must fail and be humbled.
Yes this right here she has shown that she doesn’t deserve any once of success or right to have a little just for that girl or man to be her next servant or borderline slave for her I just can’t believe nobody see that
Despite her being terrible I love the implication that Jordan and Sarah get along and that all the friends have stuck together. Dayton sucks but the flip side is good news.
1) It’s probably better to keep some tallie food in a little’s diet as there won’t always be a pellet option everywhere.
2) “They have to present all sides” No they don’t, other issues (like little personhood) they’ve very clearly only presented one side,
3) It’s interesting that Gardian trainees can have random littles put on hold, I get it for people who knew the little prior but this feels off.
4) I wonder how much of “lil’dipity’s” personality is actually Jordan’s personality or an act he plays up for the camera.
5) “Jordy I’ve known since she got him” You’ve met him twice and burnt that bridge the second time. And you are apparently too stupid to figure out he’s being kept safe away from you.
6) Sydney wanting a little makes sense, but it also sounds like she’s got some romanticised expectations that could blow up in her face.
7) “They aren’t as grateful I guess is a way to put it” I think what she meant to say was, “It’s harder to earn their gratitude as they’re smart enough to have a bar of expectations that need to be cleared, and it’ll be different for each one due to varying personality”
8) I’m surprised how many of Sara’s friends Dayton knows, when did she meet Kayla, or Mal? (and has she met Kelli if Gavin)
9) “Money isn’t important” Rich kids do tend to think that cause many of them don’t know what it’s like to be without it.
10) Please tell me Dayton’s friend Chrissy isn’t Chrissy Watson, we know they were both the same age (born in 2008) but that doesn’t mean they need to be friends.
11) Thomas having a preference for Sydney is completely understandable.
12.1) “Are you done with Thomas?” I hate the way she asked that, like she was asking if Syd was done with a comb or some other object.
12.2) Tomas trying to ingratiate himself to Sydney was pretty funny though.
13) Sydney dangling Thomas like that didn’t feel right, like it’s something they should be specifically trained not to do.
14.1) Dayton’s clearly learned from Mal what services a little can provide, I hope that nail polish is littlesafe.
14.2) Although I’m surprised Sydney didn’t know about it being a thing. Perhaps I’m too used to giantess media but painting nails is a fairly common one
15) “Littleopolis” not to be confused with a “Micropolis” lol
16) Interesting that smallborns are already becoming more common, How old does a smallborn need to get before they can be sold?
17) “Does Generitech have a nail salon where you can have littles give you pedicures and stuff?” probably not in America, but I bet they’d be common overseas like those ponds you stick your feet into and the fish eat dead skin, but more specialised.
18) I think Thomas is trained the way Genritech wants him to be, They even felt the need to bring him over from England instead of just training up an American little, so they must have seen something in him.
19) I hope the next chapter is Dayton being consoled about her failing grade, and then she tries to hit up Chloe for some nepotism but gets rejected, maybe at the Nail Salon hangout they’re discussing.
Sadly I think she’s gonna pass. We haven’t seen a lot of her training but it seems pretty simple to meet the bare minimum
If gifs worked on this site I’d post one of a baby crying right now.
Asukafan2001 might make her fail, prove not just anyone can be a guardian, but he’s also established that Guardian Licences work like drivers licences so they want most people to pass, even if they aren’t perfect.
And technically speaking Dayton hasn’t done anything that’s been established as socially or legally unacceptable to do to a little.
the point of daytons character is the reader isn’t supposed to exactly like her. Some may because of her attitude. But Dayton isn’t supposed to be likeable persay. I mean she doesn’t do anything illegal or wrong based on the world they live in.
But also if you were a little you woudln’t feel great about being assigned or bought by Dayton.
Sara isn’t perfect but i’d choose her 100 out of 100 times over Dayton. Mal is still my personal favorite. As while a bit controlling she doesn’t do anything purposefully mean.
That’s kind of my point, Saddie, Mia and Maisy are all guardians so Dayton becoming one, while I’d still rather watch her fail, is within the realm of possibilities.
I agree I’d also prefer Sara over Dayton.
Mal and Sara are about the same for me as guardians, though I find Mal more entertaining.
1) Sara’s implied method is probably the best and most healthy. As you are mixing pellets and standard food.
2) When you agree with the dominant side though you do tend to think both sides are presented equally.
3) Well she did say they got a good deal. So implied there was some circumstance behind it. That it wasn’t just a standard transaction but its purposefully not elaborated on. So the reader can think what they want.
4) Just a pure speculative answer as i hadn’t actually thought much about it. I feel like it would be a blending of both. As I can see Jordan being reluctant or not wanting to go on stream as he is an introvert but once he’s brought into it he gets really into it and competitive taking everything very seriously.
5) She could know that but be presenting it in a light most flattering to her image. As she isn’t wrong in what she said but it does leave out a few details.
6) She definitely does. She’s a bit like Sara in that regard where in your head you have a vision fo what you think it will be like.
7) You absolutely nailed it. Because of Daytons age i purposefully wanted her to kind of struggle with putting it into words.
8) Well it has been depicted that Sara brings friends along from time to time when she goes Dayton’s. It wouldn’t be shocking for people to have been brought over pre story events during the time between current smallara and when this story takes place. Plus Dayton is a family friend so she would have been to Sara’s house with her mom from time to time where Sara would had friends over. So it wouldn’t be unexpected for Dayton to hang out with them during those times.
9) That is very accurate. That was my line of thinking around the event. Where since her family has money its not a big deal as shes never lived a life without it or experienced living paycheck to paycheck.
10) Dayton’s friend Chrissy is Chrissy Watson. They are friends but she only sees her when she visits her dad specifically. As he doesn’t live near Dayton. It’s not like she’s hanging out with Chrissy Daily.
11) Sydney is the nicer of the two guardian wise. Shes also true middle class. Her parents are wealthy or anything. They just lucked into some money through inheritance so they splurged to get Sydney training and a little. As she really wanted one and they wanted to do something nice for their daughter. As shes a good kid who works hard and they can’t always get her what she wants.
12.1) Would you really expect much else from Dayton. They are sharing Thomas so there isn’t many other ways to ask. Not that i can’t think some of better ways. Just its doubtful they would be used by dayton.
12.2) Yes, I like how she didn’t seem to realize. Althoguh Sydney likes Dayton as a person and you often overlook some facets with people you are friends or accept those faults as well.
13. Well the intent was based on how she was laying it was natural to pass thomas down to Dayton in that manner but also they are younger so it was to show a bit of the immaturity in that they don’t think everything through.
14.1) I was thinking about that. Like Dayton is a bit obsessed with Mal. Like how she dresses and her attitude about things. So Dayton follows Mallory’s lead and looks to mallory as her guardian mentor. But it is just idea.
14.2) Of things propagated by giantess media. It’s one of things that always struck me as rather realistic as based on size its something they could do and in some ways better. Its implied in the way dayton says it. but her intent is to have Thomas do actual design onto her nail. The initial pink is just a canvas that once dry he would draw flower or whatever onto.
15)I’m from a state in the u.s. called Minnesota and the largest city Minneapolis. So littleopolis is a homage to Minneapolis.
16) It’s hinted at by Thomas but there are other roles littles play at Generitech then just being sold as to guardians. The littles who live in littleopolis aren’t store littles. Store littles generally live in more of a dorm style campus area of littleopolis. But most reside in other generitech locations. As Chloe is building several little cities across the u.s. at various generitech locations. Where some house more store littles they live a bit differently. It’s more similar to a school setting with a dorm and classes they are taking.
But the littleopolis citizens all mostly have various little jobs at generitech and/or its subsidiaries like Thomas does. They just use the generitech credits they are paid as currency.
17) It screams Preematech. I could see them doing that.
18) you are correct. Generitech prioritizes the best littles for its home market and the littles based on a internal scoring metric are disseminated to other regions. Lower/lesser important markets get lower quality less skilled littles. Where if they want a higher skilled little they would have to travel or pay a premium.
19) That seems to be a opinion shared by some others as well.
2) That’s very true, I’ve seen that with a lot of media and fandoms I interact with.
3) I see, that’s pretty interesting since readers are permitted to believe what they please my headcanon is that “Syd’s receiving the little who used to belong to the person they received the inheritance from”
4) Blend would make sense, I’m now wanting to see Sara giving him pointers and direction before a stream begins on what she wants to be emphasised and Flanderised.
5) It was shown in the first episode she didn’t though, that Sara was “protecting her feelings” for some reason.
7) That’s fair, but my issue was more Dayton put it more on the Little for being ungrateful than on the Guardian for not earning it, but that could also be her age and immaturity.
8) I did think that was a one-time thing, but if it happens more often that’d make sense. It also wouldn’t surprise me if Dayton had been invited to Sara’s birthday celebrations, meeting her friends there, probably knew Gavin before his infection too.
9) Very true, also she probably doesn’t realise how poor some people actually are.
10) Damnit, Chrissy deserves better than this, she doesn’t need such a toxic person in her life,
11) I hope she’s in future stories, she seems like she’d be fun to see and follow, and it’d be great seeing a character who’s got a little but isn’t overly wealthy.
12.1) No, I guess not.
12.2) That seems right, they also don’t seem to disagree on much about littles either, Overlooking facets is probably why Chrissy is friends with Dayton too, or Littles haven’t come up between them so neither knows the other’s opinion.
14.1) I love that idea. Dayton obsessing over Mal would be interesting to see, like her following her around and copying her in various ways, at some point Dayton gets annoyed and snaps at Gavin (probably calling him ungrateful for all Mal’s done for him when he says something Dayton’s to young to understand the meaning of) only for Mal to put the “guard” in “guardian” and go off at her and lay into Dayton, but this also alters her opinion more than when Sara did
14.2) It would be a task they could theoretically complete easily enough though if Dayton wants a more intricate design she’s gonna want to get brushes in his size rather than expect him to use one that’s almost as tall as him.
15) Oh, and here my ego was thinking I inspired something, that the Mircopolises from my fanfic had spread, lol.
16) It’d be interesting to see in greater detail what other littles are doing for Genentech and how little culture is affected by the difference between store littles and internal littles.
17) I can too, now that you mention it.
18) Oh damn, imagine failing a test so bad (or passing so well) you’re deported from the country you were born in. That’d suck for guardians in poorer countries having to pay more to get higher-skilled littles.
3) yea its something a bit different as the scripting of how she got the little discounted isn’t really a story aspect so it gives the reader a chance to exercise there imagination. I wanted to try it out at least.
4) That could be a interesting scene. As like most streamers the persona may be steepedin reality but things are probably played up fictionalized for effect.
7)Dayton would naturally think its on the little and not herself. That is who she is. She is doing the little a favor not the other way around in Dayton’s World.
8) Dayton definitely knows Sara’s friends. Shes been around enough.
9) Oh she has no idea how poor some people. That is very true. She lives in a bubble. If i am being fair i think that’s true for a lot of people. Some things you don’t understand until you witness or are part of it. Even if you are middle class its hard to imagine what not having food would be like or just being so poor you literally just eating peanut butter sandwiches for a few weeks till more money comes.
10) Dayton outside of her little beliefs isn’t all that toxic though. Chrissy and Dayton could just understand they have different beliefs about littles but not let it effect there friendship.
Chrissy getting a little would also be in the future. Dayton could have softened by that point a bit. I would never expect her to do a 180 but with people who have better beliefs in her life such as Nicole, Chrissy, etc. She could soften a bit to something in between. Probably always a bit of brat.
11) She will be in future stories.
14.2) Yes, the pink he was using with the larger brush was as Dayton said just the canvas or backdrop if you will. He would need different supplies to do actual design.
When it comes to bonding if a little is afraid of their guardian does bonding not work? Wound they tense up more instead of relaxing? It would make sense since if they don’t feel safe they wouldn’t be ok with their touch. Thomas of course has a job that he knows will end but I wonder if by some miracle Dayton passes could the little be so afraid they’d never be able to bond.
I don’t think it matters. Like over a period of time eventually the little bonds to the guardian. I’m sure trust and fear play a part in how long it take, but I think, much like thanos, it is inevitable
CM is correct. The depth of the bond occurs with how safe and trusting the little is of their guardian touch and gentle physical contact play a large part in it. So they would still bond eventually.
As we saw even Thomas has a reaction to Dayton petting him but he wasn’t as deep as when Sara pets Jordan. We saw jordan discuss how Ellie petting him felt good but not like how it feels with Sara does it.
In the frame of this story. If Thomas was Dayton’s little and even if he was a bit fearful of her he could still bond with her if Dayton tried. It may not be as deeply, or as strong as other littles can bond with their guardian without trust and feeling of safety and love.
Can a bond be broken? Or is it just like something that stays there, but if a little needs to be rehome, they could still bond with their new guardian. And on that matter, if a little for some bizarre reason, is rehome a lot or moves between a lot of guardians, does each bond become weaker and weaker?
Guardianship is a lifelong commitment, so the idea is that littles aren’t rehomed. Obviously, you can get bad guardians just like you can get bad pet owners
So, pets are taken away from their owners and littles can be removed from there guardians.
The bond is like a pairing similar to that of coyotes and geese that mate for life. The bonding acts a similar pairing. As you saw with Jordan and Ellie it is possible under the right circumstances to initiate a second-tier bonding for lack of a better term, but it isn’t as strong.
The full bonding does take time achieve. Even Sara and Jordan aren’t fully bonded in the mainline story yet.
So long as the little and guardian aren’t fully bonded they aren’t “mated” yet to take a term from the animal example i got the idea from with the geese and coyotes. So they would still be able to develop a full bond with another guardian but it would be difficult due to the already established bond.
while its not quite a transfer of bond or what have you like you speaking of. Any child Sara births Jordan would also have a natural bond with. Which is something that at this time isn’t understood why or how it occurs.
Bonding and how it works in the world is still being heavily studied. So, as they learn more laws and things do adjust to new knowledge. Kind of like you see the increased scrutiny Madison and Mckenzie had to just get there parents compared to what Sara went through.
This is obviously more knowledge then the characters of the story have in regards to how it works.
I had forgotten that the pairings are pretty permanent in this universe lol I was more curious about the tiers of bonding in general but also curious about what happens to a bond should the guardian and little be separated, like if the guardian passes away or something. Good info though. So the Littles under the employ of generitech in theory wouldn’t have a strong bond with the guardians and employees of generitech I’m guess, like Thomas would have a bond, but it’d be super weak in comparison to Sara and Jordan’s.
Are Kellie and Kayla and Madison and kenzie and their parents gonna be more strongly bonded cause they’re related?
What does a bond mean also? Like how they would effect one another or how they’d feel. I’m guessing it might be heavily liked to pheromones or something like that? Maybe being around someone you’re bonded to makes you happy? Id assume Jordan and Sarah wouldn’t become liked in minds but would have a natural attraction to each other. Also do tallies feel anything when they bond or just littles? I know that petting Jordan soothes Sarah down also and she is heavily invested in him even more so than with Mocha.
Bonding is a spiritual and physical connection between the guardian and the little which through the connection allows the little and the guardian to share a metaphysical connection between the two.
It allows for emotion and physical comfort between the guardian and the little. This connection can provide emotional benefits like it does for Sara but it also provides mental/emotional and security benefits for the little and guardian.
The little as we’ve seen with Jordan at times can be swayed via the bond but they ulitmately won’t do anything they wouldn’t normally do. They aren’t not in control of there thoughts or actions.
But they are sceptible to being influenced by guardian they are bonding with.
If that’s the case and there’s a mutual connection that feels good what about one that feels bad? If the little is upset could the guardian feel it?
Depending on the bonding level they could be aware of it. however, being upset is something they could probably detect through body language, speech patterns and tonal differences in the voice. If they are close enough to the little they could see the upset expression on their face.
But its not like the guardian would feel upset because the little is upset. but because they know the litlte is upset they could do something to make the little feel better or to relax them like the petting
Ok. It seems pretty one sided for positives only? Like if the guardian didn’t care I guess that would suck.
It is a little one sided but the idea behind it is that its a evolutionary change is occuring becuase the airbone virus smallara kickstarts the mutation that was being phased out in people. Standard human do not have that evolutionary change.
Its part of why Homo Parvus (littles) and Homo Sapiens (humans aka tallies aka biggles as kelli calls them) are biologically different as the actual make up between the two species isn’t 1 for 1. A little is different under the hood. They arent humans but smaller on a scientific level
Unfortunately it’s been established that part of the link is only one way, Guardians have the power of suggestion over littles, not the other way around.
Did you ever mention if it works in reverse? Like would Kayla be sceptical to Kelli or Madison to Greg and Cindy? I think you mentioned it wouldn’t work like that, and the moment where Kayla defaulted to Sara over Kelli confirmed it, but idk if it was ever outright said for the audience
It does not work in reverse. As its the little bonding to the guardian.
The guardian would bond through more traditional means like how a person bonds with there dog or cat or child.
That’s too bad. Would have been cool lol I hope it doesn’t drastically change things between Kayla and Kelli over the years
Seems like evolution really hates littles
Biologically the littles are more advanced. They are just smaller
I really wanna know in what way their biology is advanced. I know in universe info hasn’t been released but aside from their longevity we don’t really know much. Could we see a sheet in the future of all the aspects that make them more advanced? Like a list rather than just a discussion in universe. It sounds super interesting and I’m dying to know everything because aside from the party is probably the thing I’m looking forward to the most.
I’d love that too. That’s why I want a side story from a generitech employees perspective as they work with Littles, just to see what all goes on.
That being said, I do know Littles can go longer without oxygen or with a restricted air flow than tallies
I’m not opposed to the idea of following a Generitech employee. Maybe a intern being onboarded so she is being shown the ropes of an area.
You could do that, I’d certainly like to see the inner workings of Genritech, but couldn’t that also be covered this story?
You could have a .5 chapter where Dayton attends a lecture where Marvin or Clare goes over this topic.
thats actually a better idea.
I will probably steal that.
I think it’s be cool just to see how generitech actually works internally. Obviously they’re a business and the goals to make money and that comes at the expense of Littles, but at the same time, I haven’t really seen an employee that doesn’t seem to actually not have their best interests at heart. Even if it was a story from chloes pov it’d still be nice to just see how things work
How are littles more advanced biologically when humans evolved from littles?
Well I can give a small teaser. This is just a breakdown of how the eye of a little works and how post smallara the litlte has been adapted to its new size.
1. Increased Density of Photoreceptors:
2. Enhanced Lens and Cornea:
3. Optimized Pupil Size and Light Intake:
4. Increased Neural Processing:
5. Adaptive Optics:
6. Eye Positioning and Movement:
I am planning on eventually having a anatomy of a little section which I would like to have some images accompanying this as well but will probably start out as just text breaks down. Highlighting the changes of a little.
I was originally going ot include alot of this into Dayton junior guardian series but I thought it would be to boring for most people to want to read through. So I pivoted to making a section of the site that highlights it.
Various parts of the body have similar breakdowns such as lungs, ears, etc. Which all go into what a little is. Which also is why Sara doesn’t equate littles and people as 100% equal as they are different and there bodies work different and have had changes made so they can see, and breathe, etc. It’s not just this is a human but smaller. If that makes sense. The above is just analytical breakdown. I may try to clean it up and explain it a bit better. But this is also not my specialty so research and such goes into this and then adapting things based on my understanding which may lead to some errors. So i try to focus moreso on the little aspect as thats how they work in universe.
That’s really cool. I love stories that are built from the ground up like this.
There was an author on giantess world that’s gone silent, idk why. But they did a whole story on what happened after the end of that shrink high video game, and it was so cool to see how much of the world they had built. Just makes enjoying another person’s passion project that much more fun
Thanks, I vaguely remember that. I don’t believe I read it all though
That’s incredibly detailed, I love it, does this mean littles can see colours humans can’t, or improved night vision?
“Sara doesn’t equate littles and people as 100% equal as they are different and there bodies work different” I’ve heard similar “justifications” for not equates men and women as 100% equals
Littles can see better at night than a person. They generally can’t see as far as a standard person though. So it’s a trade off. As they can see better then if a standard person was shrunk to equal size but the bodies worked the same as when they were larger. The little would be able to see farther
Madison’s world sequel!!! Good heavens thank you
You are most welcome. Season 2 Episode 1 starts September 2nd. See you then.
