@Barrowman: It's subtle, but I see it now. Tina is now fully dominant over Eva, but she still has not learned to dominate people her own size. With Amy, it's easy to see how this will go. Tina will become Amy's unwitting research assistant in observation of a test subject. But with Dana, there's a major conflict. Tina cares about Dana's opinion, but she has to go against what Dana would think of Eva's situation. This seems like a conflict where something's going to have to give, and the most obvious course of Tina's character arc is to dominate normal-sized people the way she dominates shrunken people, in which case Tina would become a force of nature. The hatred of bullies that was set up earlier would pay off there, and the rationalizations needed to justify kidnapping somebody will give that quite the dark twist.

As for Eva, she does still have her will. I wonder if she could fully process what it means to be helpless and bullied, while keeping that will at least somewhat intact?

@Asterisk: Don't worry, I enjoyed the beach story as a fun diversion.

We seem to be seeing a shift in Tina. Tina doesn't seem to hate Eva anymore; I think Tina's moved on to a new relationship and attitude with Eva. On the surface, Tina's being very nice, by giving Eva such a good living space, and she's not being outwardly cruel, but Eva has a point: this is still a kidnapping. Eva isn't free to go, which is ethically kind of important. Tina has become a teddy bear stuffed with darkness.

I bet Amy gave Tina some recording devices for the new house. It would give her the data she craves...

And it was funny to watch Tina chase Eva with a plush Pokemon.

I also read the beach story, and cat boob is so classically Tina it was funny. And the thing Amy does at the end is interesting, because it's erotically interesting and would be par for the course in many other stories, but sticks out here because it's not a thing of the sort we've seen in this story so far.



Author's Response:

"A teddy bear stuffed with darkness." - I won't lie, that got a laugh out of me. Won't comment much on your speculation as ever, but I will say Tina is certainly not a perfect person. This is a story as much about her own shortcomings as it is about Eva's, and how the two are handling said shortcomings. 

Hope you enjoyed the beach story too. It's more of a fluffy side story thing so did indeed play up some of the erotic elements more. Certainly something more geared towards toying with the characters a bit without a lot of stakes of plot.
