So I was reading Aristotle's Poetics for my General Exam (those of you who don't know me, or it's been a WHILE... hi! I'm getting a PhD right now. If you're at LSU, come say hey ::smile:: ) and he was like 'if something is really really small, it can't be beautiful because we can't see it and our eyes get blurry trying, nor can anything overly large be beautiful because we cannot take in the whole thing with our eyes." and I was just like "first of all.... skyscrapers weren't a thing yet, but IF THEY WERE, you'd re-think that (although is it the scraper itself or qualities about / of it?) And then I saw a picture on here and was reminded how I got into furs via macrophilia (not myself personally being into giant stuff, but other people and being like 'oh... these images are making me... feel something ._. I was way too young to be on macrophile.com lol)

Then again, the image itself we take in with our eyes, but the thing-in-itself (the macrophilic beast) is often loved for the feeling of terror it inspires in others, or just... the idea of the hugeness rather than the thing-itself.
