I'm Frankie, I play TTRPGs too much. I will be reblogging and/or posting a lot of furry arte and some of that's going to be kink stuff so heads up
AKA Nerts but that's going back a while

hot take against macro furries but unfathomably large isn't actually all that large, humans are terrible at estimating scale once you get past like building-sizes

@fwankie

like let's say your fursona is as tall as from the earth to the moon, a mild one on the space-macro scale, reaching up and grabbing the moon is a common thing for that kinda art

If you could jog straight up how long do you think it'd take to cover than distance? About 6 years non stop

@fwankie

"unfathomably large" starts at a few hundred meters in height, perception of distance gets wacky when shit's just going straight up

@fwankie

this is why my fursona is the much more intuitive size of "butt at average head level"

honestly, running in inflation circles I see the exact same thing

growing galactically huge is fun and all but have you ever really tried to visualize just how fucking big even being the height of a house across every dimension actually is, how that would scale up against other people and anything you'd interact with in life normally

Like, i've done the math because i'm a dweeb and Rigel here is, conservatively, a little under 400kg*. And he's only 8'2! I've seen people describe characters as tall as he is as being barely half his weight. Alternatively, I've seen people say characters are his weight despite being half his size 'cuz they wanna throw out a big number.

Folks will design characters and vehicles and then assign them a weight that, varying on scale, can be orders of magnitude off! volume is fucky!

*I say conservatively because the tallest man in the world, Sultan Kosen, is 360kg, and Rigel, while being the same height, is far more sturdily built than Kosen is and also has a two meter long tail.

it's not because I want to throw a big number it's because I want them to cause collateral damage in their daily routine

My wife is 6'8" and about 400lbs; seeing people act like a 6'2" character is super tall, or that it's realistic for said character to be both bordering on hyper muscular and only weigh 186lbs gets reeeeeeally old. I've also had people tell me to make a ~6' tall character 300lbs so they're 'huge but not immobile'. I told them off and they apologized and admitted they weren't familiar with what numbers applied to what visuals, and I explained that it's not really a linear thing because people the same weight can look wildly different depending on their build, height, how they carry it, etc. But I'm not sure how much of people's confusions on some of these points is lack of sense of scale and how much is tinged with fatphobia (usually unintentionally and completely unknowingly on the ''phobe'' side, by far). Size kink gets weird if you're not careful, and not in the fun way.

But yeah if you knowingly want to be huge and can have some sense of what that actually entails, by all means, have fun! As someone with a 9' tall fursona who can probably benchpress a minivan, go for it.

Of course this is also me speaking with the robot fursona that's 4' and 200lbs, but my excuse is that it's very dense, being largely made of metal, faux fur, and solid rubber. So feel free to disregard any comments about realism :V
