1. Story

  • Sylvan is 167cm
  • Many of his role models are "lil guys": levi ackerman, napoleon, …
  • Little guys have a tunnel network(LGTN), that they can travel through.
  • Lil guys and big guys have a symbiotic relationship: Sometimes bigger people need to scramble for things on the floor and sometimes we need to get cookies from the shelf.
  • Some people say that short guys cant pull, but this is not true. We can buy climbing gear.
  • Shorter men can communicate without bigger men overhearing, because it is a high pitched squeak other men cannot hear.
  • Supplements last longer for us
  • When you are closer to the size of a physical transistor, it is easier to understand computers. This is part of why Sylvan is so good at programming.
  • Sylvan used to be 6'3, but realized it was so miserable. He took medications to decrease his height and access the LGTN.
  • People find shorter men less intimidating, so it is easier to talk to people.
  • You can get up to many shenanigans because nobody suspects anything of you

2. Thoughts

  • Sylvan is coping.
