Tinies doing their best, never fails to HRRRNNGGHHHJ my heart

Whoa, whoa, whoa! The hell am I thinking?

I DUNNO EVIE, YOU DIDN’T FINISH.

But you finished in other ways, so all is well.

@littlest-lily:

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).

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.

Eeeee! What a nice chapter for them both to unwind. God knows they needed a break, especially Evie.

@Olo there’s no pleasing entitlement.

@foreverlurk Ignoring and blocking is a very fine approach to dealing with…hm, inappropriately forward people. I doubt you’ll miss them. They can perish in their abundance of Fm/SM content. However you decide to address them (or not!), don’t let them get you down. Plenty of others appreciate you sharing some pretty cool Mf/SW AI content.

“Kaiju wrestling” sounds like a specific fetish unto itself.

Sign me up.

@littlest-lily yay, friends!

Evie, you’re doing amazing, sweetie.

@Olo hopefully he’s like me and either forgets, or is left with such hangxiety that he wishes he could forget

Wow, intense chapter. The emotions and anxiety are so well written, as always.

Let’s hope Diego is easily swayed in his current state.

@FairyFanatic thank you! I’ll happily share if I create anymore, writing or drawing

Thank you @Nyx! I’d like to play around with them some more so I hope I can keep up the creative flow (also, any excuse to make literal playgrounds of gorgeous bods~ )

@littlest-lily aw thank you, much appreciated coming from one of my favourite writers ️ there’s no full-blown story, I’m afraid. I don’t get much time to write complete narratives, but when I get the urge I’ll put something down. Otherwise, drawing tends to be my go to as visual representation. If I come up with something more substantial, I’ll happily share it!

The backstory is not necessary to read, just wanted to share here as my SW/GT outlet. You can skip to the pictures if you’d like, marked by , , , , ,
TL;DR relationship between a Borrower and human (Bean) as adults.

Been revisiting the theme of Borrowers lately, and the idea of a relationship between an adult Borrower and adult human (Bean). I got curious one day and tried to find any reference in the books about how big Borrowers were - I recall this question coming up years ago on one of the forums. I think there may be some throwaway mention, but I don’t remember and the illustrations aren’t always the most consistent points of reference. Anyway, I came across this beauty of a line in the early pages of Chapter 1 of the first book:

“But my brother said that, underneath, he thought they were frightened. It was because they were frightened, he thought, that they had grown so small. Each generation had become smaller and small, and more and more hidden.”

Does this potentially open this question up to multiple answers and theories? Oh yes, I think it does so I took up that opportunity to imagine a ~3.5-inch tall Borrower (Adelly) who has learned that to stop the effects of intergenerational shrinking, she must make regular contact with Beans. Most of these encounters have been with children, or people who are wary of offending “the fey folk”, so she’s been able to navigate through the usual dangers pretty well and avoid getting squished.

However, it also effectively means banishment from other Borrowers due to the dangers she’s believed to bring as a result of being seen. So she’s lived afield for most of her life, rarely staying in a house for more than she needs, to borrow and then move on. She doesn’t mind though given the freedom and she loves nature, especially plants.

One day she comes across a particular house with a large greenhouse and a collection of potted plants - some of which she had never seen before. Tending to them is a Bean (Phillip) who she spots sitting at a workbench, hunched over a plant with small, paper-like flowers. Curiosity draws her closer to see what he’s doing and at one point, it seems that he’s about to rip the plant out of the pot. This causes her to yelp which alerts him to her presence. As he sits up and looks over, she sees just how big he is - much bigger than any Bean she’s ever seen, let alone encountered.

Their encounter has other firsts for her: he is unshaken by her being there (having encountered Borrowers before), he initiates the conversation (though he doesn’t speak much), he saves her from falling off the workbench (making contact), and she finds him to be VERY attractive, albeit extremely large (a point of fascination which may develop into something more).
, , , , ,

Once Adelly starts talking about the plants, it’s hard to get her to stop. Since Phillip made the flora guides available for her to peruse, she’s been keen to share what new thing she’s learned about the different varieties and species. It was endearing really, even if he did have to carry her around so she could finish her speech.

, , , , ,

Adelly seeks Phillip out to ask if she needs to bring anything for their outing to the village. She stops mid-sentence as she realises that she’s caught him at an (in)opportune time, changing out of his soiled shirt. He doesn’t seem bothered by her seeing him half-naked, nor does he seem to mind as he teases her about easing off her “new rouge” (honestly, I just wanted an excuse to draw a guy’s back).

I’m a personal fan of great/ancient god or demon kept in chains (physical or otherwise) and forced to do the bidding of whoever frees or summons him.

Not sure if this really counts, but I like the idea of the tiny learning to lean into her power. They dynamic might start off with her being kind of a pushover and the giant bullying her and generally throwing his weight around - except, that he can’t actually physically hurt her or do anything that could bring her harm. Among the things that motivate her to change is the fact that they’re going to be together for a loooooooong time.

Well, first of all, we have no reason to believe that the tiny woman in the trailer will be a recurring character

Noting that I’m quoting an old post and that is still early days: I’m appreciating that she does seem to be, in fact, a recurring character - potentially, an important one too! I imagine that shrinking/shrunken scenes will be pretty limited, but it would be nice to have a character who isn’t just showcased as a novelty (i.e. Termite), and who may actually contribute to the plot in some way, whether in their shrunken size or not.

In saying that, it is The Boys so anything could happen. And probably rather gruesomely.
