listen. I just think it’s good as hell when micros and macros live side by side in a Society and it’s just normal and people are not that weirded out by it. And macros (like anyone else) are expected to live by something resembling a social contract that accounts for their being big (they do their best, anyway). And it’s challenging and awkward sometimes but somehow everybody is able to make it work, and hilarious hijinks ensue and all that.
…is this just me creating the conditions where this society has businesses like a Macro Wash/bath house type situation you can go to where micros attend to your entire body and it’s very luxurious and posh?
…Yeah. So what
I've been thinking a lot (LOT LOT LOT) about this kind of thing for the sake of my own world-building but haven't yet had the chance to draw any of it out. But HEY it's incredibly fun to think about how mid-size and micro-size folks would co-exist. The same way it's fun to think about how chairs should have a notch cut into them to slide in a tail when sitting, as opposed to a small hole that forces one to awkwardly slot their tail inside.
Someone recently talked about how cars are stupid (they are) and how folks shouldn't be putting them in their furry worlds when there's infinitely better options. You have to think about accessibility! Even if your world has trains, you can't make them all like the BART (unless discomfort is an intentional part of your setting). Where would taurs sit? What if someone is 8ft tall and their two friends are 4ft and 6in? How do you solve this kinda thing?
Well, one solution already exists in our world. Sleeper trains! Look at this!
A taur or quad could lie down here easily. Friends of all sizes could sit together. Easy to carve out a cozy, safe zone for micros. Now just put a bunch of these rooms on all trains and make this the primary mode of transport. Who would even want a car if you could travel like this?
As much as I love scenarios where large folks use small things not meant for them, I feel like that would be a very harsh world. Realistically, there would be untold amounts of accessibility baked into all aspects of life to make visiting your macro friend a chill experience.
I would also like to experience one of these all-size spas that y'all are talking about......
