I’ve seen a lot of great posts about tiny whumpees lately, and it got me thinking about how that might work with another trope: using people as objects. Obviously a tiny whumpee is not going to work as standard furniture, but there are plenty of small everyday items they could replace - some painful, some humiliating, some rather silly. For example:
Stand for a phone, tablet, or mirror
Coaster (for a hot beverage? Either way, they’d have to balance the drink carefully)
Dishrag
Pencil, pen, or paintbrush holder
Pin holder (or pincushion…)
Paint stirring stick
Whiteboard or blackboard eraser
Boot scraper/brush
Duster (especially if they have allergies)
Candle holder
Potholder
Ashtray
Very approximate thermometer (yes, there’s a theme here)
Drain plug
Lawn ornament
Keyring
Hair accessory
Water bottle holder (on a bicycle for extra danger?)
Pliers/tweezers
Bookend
Bookmark
Nostepinne
Drop spindle
Stitch/row/step counter
Coat hook
Ceiling fan pull
And probably a lot more. The sky’s the limit!
