Karmic shrinking
-
As SW fans, we tend to view shrinking as something to be desired. Most normies, however, typically consider being shrunk as undesirable. As Size stories are often found in mainstream children’s entertainment, they can include some kind of lesson or moral, sometimes characterizing being shrunk as something that one “deserves” for making a mistake or behaving poorly.
Leaving aside the fact that we are all naturally eager to see a character get shrunk, what do you imagine might be some conditions she can find herself in or certain behaviors she can exhibit that would “justify” her getting shrunk? Has there ever been an instance of you watching a show or reading a story and thinking to yourself, “That girl deserves to get shrunk”?
Similarly, if you are one of those shrunken women who gets off to the humiliation or degradation that comes with being tiny, do you ever imagine that you have done something to earn such a fate? Some vice or regrettable behavior that you know will result in you becoming tiny and helpless but which you cannot resist?

@Olo DwindlingIva’s work is mostly that. An tall and mighty authority figure getting shrunk.
-
@giantmaneddie Yeah, I see the role reversal, but is it deserved? Do her authority figures do anything to bring shrinking on themselves?
-
@Olo So having the girl “deserve it” is actually not a trope I personally enjoy. Even as a kid, if a bad guy who did the shrinking got shrunk themselves in the end and justice was served, I didn’t like it that much. I think it’s because it makes it harder for me to self insert/empathize with the tiny. Not that I think I’m totally flawless or anything lol, but I don’t think I’m deserving of getting shrunken down against my will. And nah, even in my imagination I don’t have any interest in being “bad” and deserving of punishment. I suppose I just prefer the idea of the shrinkee being an innocent victim (or it’s a happy consensual thing).
I’m curious to know how other tiny ladies feel though
If you’d like to support me and my work, please feel free to leave me a tip and I will be so grateful! https://ko-fi.com/littlestlily

Personally I think hurting animals would be a valid reason. Shrinking her smaller than all the other animals would be good payback. It’s the premise of The Wonderful Adventures of Nils , but he’s a boy.
I also like shrinking bullies. Bullies just suck. A shy, bullied girl shrinking her bully down is a-okay in my book (smallminded48 on DA has such a story).
To a lesser extent, being rude or violent against natually tiny creatures like fairies, not okay at all. Jaxon Sorby did amazing concept art for such a story (“Small Molly”), and coincidentally he also did a gender-swapped tribute of Nils I just mentionned.
Seriously check this guy out if you haven’t already :

Ironic twist on a gold digger, or something to that effect: Oh, you’re only dating/married/flirting with this person because they’re rich/successful/whatever? You want them to take care of you and just exist as a hot body for them to have sex with and admire?
Done! Enjoy your new life as a dependant, where you need them to take care of you~
Power is choice.

@i-am-insane Trophy-sized trophy wife.

@Olo
Exactly. As a bonus, turn her actually gold, from head to toe; turn her into a decoration that walks, talks, and deludes herself she has control over her life. -

Same! Shrinking (or exposure to/living with giants) as a punishment for a tiny’s misdeeds isn’t usually my cup of tea either. There are plenty of ways to punish or humiliate (in some cases, dispose of) someone without shrinking them. I daresay that relates to my association with tiny things to be protected and giant things to be the protector. An exception, if you could count it, is a Robin Hood type situation where actions aren’t necessarily motivated by villainy: “stealing from the rich to give to the poor kind” of thing.
In my mind, being shrunk or to be put into a diminutive position is something to be overcome, literally (for survival) and/or metaphorically (the situation representing fears, being a doormat, etc.). So I guess, in a way, it’s still a “punishment” by virtue of being who she is or what she’s done, except it’s not what would be considered “bad behaviour”. In this case, who she is someone undeserving of more of the bullshit that life has thrown at her, and she must realise how to overcome her flaws, take control or make do of the situation before it destroys her, physically or otherwise.

@Olo Most of her figures are mean babysitters and office bosses. So I guess they are deserved.

Maybe I was cruel in the way that I rejected the nerdy guy’s (I mean that in the nicest of ways) romantic advances. Maybe I laughed in his face making him feel small and insignificant thus him finally shrinking me down and taking me for himself. As common, typical and utterly predictable the story of the nerdy guy shrinking and taking the girl who repeatedly rejects him is, it’s one of my most favorite and spiciest of scenarios! Never gets old. It might be the little masochist in me but I do enjoy being bullied and teased… to a certain extent. Even better if I deserve it! I enjoy being a brat and pushing buttons to see what kind of reaction I can get
I love the sudden shift in power dynamics once I realize how tiny I’ve become as I slowly look up up and UP at the now massive nerd looming over me. I scramble to my feet, desperately trying to get away as the once timid and soft spoken guy is now reaching for my toy sized body but it’s useless, I’m too small to get away. The fear after he gathers me into his tight grip, bringing me close to his face where he then tells me that I now belong to him and he can do whatever he likes with me. All of the shyness that I’ve become used to is now gone from his eyes, replaced with confidence, power and a wicked glint. I kick and scream as he purposely licks me from head to toe, soaking me in his saliva and effectively ruining my hair, makeup and clothes. The humiliation as he mocks me Oh no! You always made sure to look your best but now look at you soaking wet and covered in my saliva. So pathetic and so fitting for a girl like you.
In these scenarios I very much want to deserve it so usually I’m mean to him first but I’m not like super mean… bc even in my fantasies I don’t enjoy bullying or hurting peoples feelings lol -
@SmolChlo holy sh… me, totally a shy and soft-spoken nerd IRL, reading this during my lunch hour. Why, oh why do you do this to me?! How can get back to work now!?
-
Gonna echo some other posts in the thread and say shrinking isn’t my preferred scenario either. Just naturally small women is preferred for me, like pixies, borrowers, etc. I don’t necessarily mind the shrinking (esp. willing) but it just feels different, maybe more temporary even if “Oh no! The magic amulet broke and it can’t be reversed now!”
-
@FairyFanatic Clearly, it makes a big difference if a tiny woman has grown up that way versus being suddenly shrunk.
-
@foreverlurk grinning like a Cheshire Cat reading this lol There’s just something so sexy about the underdog finally gaining control and then taking what he wants ya know! I like how flustered the shy boys get when I talk to them, not meeting my eyes, fumbling and stuttering as a force them to converse with me but little do they know I just want them to shrink me down and make me their toy 🧸 heehee
