If it’s small, it’s *small*. If it’s smaller than small, it’s *tiny*. If it’s both small and cute, it’s *smol*. If it’s both smaller than small and cute, it’s *illegally smol*. Yes, here’s another example of “Doggo Speak”[1], an affectionate misspelling of certain words describing cute animals or objects to make them even cuter.

When referring to something as ‘smol’, the user typically infers that, if given the chance, they’d love to snuggle, cuddle, and fiercely protect said precious animal or object. I defy anyone to say otherwise when viewing r/Illegallysmolcats where cats are so adorably smol it should be illegal; r/IllegallySmolDogs for dogs that are criminally small or r/IllegallySmolBunnies for illegally small bunnies.
You can also discuss the most criminal elements of the sky at r/Illegallysmolbirbs, and for all smol things in general, there’s r/smol and r/IllegallySmol, and because hoomans (sorry) start off smol, there’s r/SmolHumans too. Other smol critters can be found at r/Tinyanimalsonfingers and r/TinyUnits.
On animal subs, using Markdown Text to give the following one word reply in tiny text is often acceptable:
^^smol
The markdown to create tiny text is to type the ^ symbol twice directly before each word you want to shrink down.
Smol animals need things; they just need tinier things than most. Tiny groceries, tiny phones, tiny violins; the list goes on and on, and r/ThingsForAnts is a showcase for the smol stuff. r/Miniworlds is a treasure trove of miniature landscapes, tiny discoveries or scaled-down creations you could get lost in for hours, while r/booknooks might just become your new favourite obsession.
Giants also need things, they just need bigger things than most. Big groceries, big tools, big slippahs; the list goes on and on, and r/threetimesbigger is a showcase for things at least three times bigger than normal. If larger things are unsettling, try r/megalophobia instead.
r/Tinycatsinbigspaces is a community to appreciate all kinds of felines, in tiny to HUGE ratio of their surroundings; r/babybigcatgifs is a place to see incredibly pathetic roars that eventually turn into cute yawns, and r/illegallybigcats collect chonkers.
