Hi I was wondering if there is going to be full on chapters unaware or a close call Vore in the story in store for Ryan's future. As I love the way you've been doing the story and the Characterization of everyone.
Ps, I hope you have a wonderful day when you read this

Uh oh, Natalie is going to be so pissed when she discovers that Ryan hasn't completed any of the tasks she left him.
Someone's destined for a tough and degrading time.
Author's Response:
Natalie definitely doesn't seem like the type to let something like that go. We'll just have to see what Ryan has planned to handle that particular challenge.
Thanks for reading!!

Ryan needs to spend some more time with Mary, and the other girls lol. Love this story. Can’t wait to read the next chapter!
Author's Response:
I think Ryan's going to be doing everything he can to stay away from Mary at this point haha. But since when does someone like Ryan get what he wants? STay tuned to see how it goes.
Thanks so much for reading!!

Came to say same thing as previous comment. Was bummed (pardon the pub) that my favorite moment turned out to be a day dream. Hoping things go a little further at the party.
Author's Response:
Is it a day dream, or is it a premonition? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to find out :)
Thanks so much for reading!!

Great chapter, the day dream sequence was *chefs kiss*. Looking forward to something similar happening, but it not being a day dream. Great set up for future shenanigans at home with the drunk party, can't wait to see where that leads. Oblivious and unaware are fun genres, most times.
Author's Response:
I remember doing some sneaking drinking when I was young, and I definitely made some pretty dumb decisions. Here's to hoping that Ryan doesn't have to contend with any such nonsense.
Thanks for reading!!

Hey! Been looking forward to seeing this story get updated, but also glad that you're taking care of yourself first and foremost, hope you're doing okay and that things are well.
As for the chapter itself...I don't want to dwell on Natalie too much, I agree you and I are probably on a similar wavelength with her, and just like in Downsizing with Sofia, I am rooting for a redemption arc with her getting a reality check, but more than anything I just need Natalie knocked down a peg or two with Ryan taking control of his own life away from her, whether that involves her being in his life at all or not. Looking forward to the hammer dropping there if/when it comes. That small bit of levity they shared near the beginning of the chapter was nice though, before she went back to her bullshit. I am worried about Ryan leaving those disgusting chores of leaving her hairbrush and make-up sponges uncleaned...feel like nothing good can come from that.
Brooke and Ryan's relationship got some much needed texture this chapter though, and I like that Brooke threw it in his face that he was a lot more mellow and free wheeling with Amanda when she was Brooke's age, and let them do stupid stuff. While Ryan himself is a bit older, a bit wiser, and whole hell of a lot smaller now, it makes his attitude towards her a lot more reserved, responsible, and less fun. I liked seeing Ryan confront that little bit about how he treats his sisters differently, and just honestly probably is closer to Amanda. I also liked Ryan's sobering moment where he let Brooke in a little on how frustrated he is that he can't protect her or stand up to his mother, and her trying in her own way to cheer him up, and wanting to include him in the drinking at the end, as much of a mistake as that more than likely is. Wonder where the hell he'll even wake up...
Brooke also intervening when her friends were taking it a couple of steps too far was nice, though I think she could have gotten involved earlier, but the thing that I enjoyed the most was the juxtaposition of Jess saying all the cruel, nasty shit she'd do to her stepdad if he ever reduced, which I can assume comes from him not being great, to her both protecting Ryan from Carli who was definitely taking it too far, and checking in to see how he was doing, because she genuinely likes Ryan, and he stood up for her in the past. Always like seeing karma come back to help or harm the shrunken tiny, and to Ryan's credit, karma has mostly been coming back to help him in this regard.
Always looking forward to this story, and kudos on another fantastic chapter! Hope you keep well and patiently but eagerly awaiting the next installment!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much for the kind words! I enjoy that this community is so supportive of one another.
Natalie is certainly a dark cloud that looms over the story right now. I can't say for certain if/when she's going to get her just deserts, but you can count on the fact that I'm hoping just as much as you are that the story will eventually trend in that direction. And I'm glad that you mentioned that little bit of human interaction that they shared. I think it makes a villain that much more despicable when you get little glimpses of them being regular people. We'll have to see how Ryan handles his assigned chores, because if he doesn't, I can be pretty certain that there will be hell to pay with the matron of the house.
As for Brooke and friends, I’m really enjoying exploring the different dynamics that they each have with Ryan. The sibling dynamic between Ryan and Brook is interesting. I can understand the younger sibling viewpoint of being excluded and that leading into Brooke having a bit of a chip on her shoulder when it comes to her brother, but I also think it leaves a vacuum where she really wants to collect on the time that she never got growing up.
And with her friends, I wanted to have a couple of different stages in the relationship growth chart represented. First we’ve got Jess, the best friend who’s known him the longest. She’s the closest one to actually being friends with Ryan, but in reality that relationship is viewed through the lens of his relationship with Brooke. So while Jess is nice, she’s still inclined to fuck with him a bit. Then Carli is next, since she’s also a longtime friend, but instead of spending constant weekends, summers, family trips, etc with the Millers, she would be there in larger groups; birthday parties, team sleepovers, crap like that. So Ryan definitely knows her a bit, but it's more like a “friend of a friend” vibe. Then there’s the two teammates, Liz and Mary. The most recent additions to the crew, they likely know Ryan very little. He might be aware of them just from hearing them in Brooke’s stories, but he was probably gone to college by the time that they first ever stepped foot in the Miller house. So while they might be Brooke’s friends, to them, Ryan is really just some tiny. Which makes them the sort of de facto threat for the tiny man.
So I’m glad that you enjoyed the chapter and definitely stay tuned for the next chapter because I think its gonna be a really fun one. Thanks for reading!!

Another great chapter. Even if it was a dream funny how he couldn't resist just imagining Natalie's ass in just her small powder blue thong. Something tells me this won't be the last interaction he has with that thong ;)
Author's Response:
Given his track record with the giant butts around this house, I can understand his unwilling obsession. I'm sure Ryan's hoping to get back out of his mother's house and never look back. We'll see how that works out for him.
Thanks for reading!!

This and Marooned are the only current stories on here that I periodically check for updates. I can hardly wait until the next installment, whenever that may be. Perhaps in a week or two, LOL? One can only hope :)
Author's Response:
I've not read Marooned. I'll have to give it a look. I appreciate you checking in through my sometimes spotty schedule. I try to post every monday at this point, but it depends on what stories I have that are both ready to post and I feel like I want to post. As for this story, we're still at least a couple weeks from Chapter 16. The commissioner and I just started talking over what they wanted to see next.
I appreciate your continued patience and thanks so much for reading!!

Tftc! Damn, this story's giving me anxiety, great job!
Author's Response:
I get that way sometimes too. When I was reading MXP20's "Downsizing," the early chapters gave me insane amounts of anxiety. I hope that this will only lead to a satisfying surge of relief before the story's over.

Genuinely another fantastic chapter, I'm looking forward to more interactions with Natalie, hopefully some less aware and seeing how this nightclub adventure goes and whether ryan will be dragged along.
So much potential!
Either way, glad to see the story still going and excellently written, easily my favourite
Author's Response:
Thank you so much. I'm never really in the know about the direction of future chapters beyond the one that's coming next, but I think its safe to say that we'll be seeing some more Natalie in the next couple chapters.
Stay tuned and find out! Thanks for reading!!

[Report This]Date: February 04 2025 2:49 AM Title: Chapter 15
I think i'm seeing not only Brooke's problem, but maybe the problem with the whole Miller family in how headstrong and independently minded they all are.
Amanda is the best of all 4 of them at curtailing this and re-assessing herself, which Ryan should count his lucky stars for (even if so far he's probably the second best at this) and I can only imagine Ryan will be more and more finding his more pleasant moments in the next few weeks being when he's talking to Amanda on the phone.
Brooke herself is proving to be a double edged sword in that, while she doesn't inherently think less of Ryan FOR shrinking down like his own mother does, she also is a bit self absorbed and flat out has blinders up for the new difficulties he faces in avoiding danger from unobservant full sized humans which...she is very unobservant and flat out unsympathetic at many stages through this chapter. Just the behavior of a still growing teenager to be fair, but it comes off much harsher when she doesn't account for her brother's new limitations. Not irredeemable though.
Natalie though...I don't know if redemption is in the cards for this, as the staff of the shrink clinic put it, 'frigid bitch'. But man, part of me is glad she isn't in this chapter as much, i'm really anticipating and dreading in equal measure another bout between her and Ryan, and I really just hope things work out for poor little Ryan more than likely after this two weeks with the dread mom and ignorant sister.
Author's Response:
Yeah, they're certainly a stubborn bunch, aren't they. I do think that the bulk of this narrative is driven by poor communication and an unwillingness to think that oneself might not be correct at all times.
Amanda is definitely the most even mannered one of the bunch, though I don't think that Ryan is out of pocket for reacting poorly when everyone seems to be disregarding his wants/needs at every turn. I do think that Brooke is located pretty firmly in the middle between her mother and sister, though I think that if she's given a chance to really see and reflect on how her actions impact someone that she allegedly cares about, she'd be more inclined to land in Amanda's camp. But the real fun of a story like this exists in the moments that lead up to that sort of character growth.
And Natalie? Yeah, she's... alot. I actually had to tone her back a bit from the initial pitch that the commissioner gave, because she was bordering on genuine supervillian levels of cruel. We've been discussing the specific reasons why Natalie feels the way that she does, and because things are so up in the air, I cannot say whether or not she'll ever receive any sort of redemption arc, or if something like that will come before she does something too reprehensible to be redeemed. I think that you and I may be of a similar mind when it comes to things like this. I was frustrated beyond belief reading another story where the protag had a ruthless mother. I was getting overwhelemed with stress before finally she got her just desserts and it felt like a weight lifted from my shoulders. So, I'll just take your disdain for Natalie to mean that she's serving as an effective antagonist :)
All I can say is stick with it if you can. Ryan's got plenty more good times ahead. Thanks for reading and thanks so much for the review!!

[Report This]Date: January 07 2025 3:04 AM Title: Chapter 14
Yay, new chapter!
And damn, you've established Natalie quite well as a nasty controlling matriarch, definitely on the level of Sofia. In some ways I think Natalie might be worse, if exclusively discussing how they treat their sons, because for as controlling as Sofia got, she never verbally tore Mateo down the way Natalie is doing to Ryan here, and it was clear she still loved her son. Not sure I can say the same for Natalie, and her sympathizing with murderers is not a good look. I know we're only seeing Ryan's perspective, but I would love to see the conversation Amanda and Natalie had after they left the clinic...would wager it got heated.
Unfortunately I can only imagine it's still going to get quite rough for Ryan when Amanda is out of the picture for a few weeks and Natalie has full control of him. Again, can only hope Brooke helps where she can, but i'm sure she'll also be a headache in her own right.
I like that Ryan might get a social network of other RPs though, seems like just what he needs in some pretty dark times for him.
Still loving these characters and this world, great chapter as usual!
Author's Response:
Yes, Natalie is certainly pretty nasty. I was a bit hesitant when I first sent this back to the commissioner, because I felt like it was maybe a bit too much. But if a cruel giantess momma is requested, then I guess that's what you're gonna get. And I definitely agree with being a bit more harsh on her for being so sympathetic with actual murderers. I think this story is set in a world where the standard for tinies is much less established than it is in Downsizing. And if you've got a large enough chunk of the population who don't see RPs as human beings then you're bound to see some pretty fucked up bigotry. The good news is that Amanda seems pretty dialed in on her mother's bullshit now, so even if she's not there, she can still keep a watch on things. We'll just have to see how it all plays out.
Thanks so much for the review and thanks for reading!!
[Report This]Date: January 07 2025 2:38 AM Title: Chapter 14
I worry Ryan might regret not truly explaining how cruel his mother is to his fellow tinies in the long run...!
Tell those doctors ASAP about those reds flags, get her on file for caution haha.
Again loving how natural and grounded the world and characters are here, as always looking forward to more.
Author's Response:
Honestly, I totally agree. If I were in his place, I'd be telling anyone with a set of ears about the things that Natalie had said. Too much of a risk being that small and in her care. But that probably wouldn't be quite so interesting :D
I'm glad that you're enjoying the story thus far. Thanks so much for reading!!
