The Size-Shifting Meme

This meme is for playing out everything where one party is a different size than the other. All configurations are welcome!

Shrinking and growing are popular themes in movies, comics, tv shows, and even in classic stories such as Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver’s Travels, and ancient mythologies. The large and the strong are usually treated with respect, while the small and the weak are not; height and physical strength are tied in to power dynamics. So when a character changes size, it changes their outlook on the world, and it more often than not changes other's outlook on them.

How they view themselves and how others view them, and the resulting actions and reactions are dependent on several factors. What kind of person were they before, and whether or not their personality will differ significantly with a loss or addition of power. Was the change intentional or not? If so, what were their motives? Can the change be reversed? Do they or others even want it to be reversed?

How to Play
•Comment with your character and your preferences, and be sure to include information about your character's original height, and what height they’ve transformed to.
•Comment to others.
•Use the RNG to determine prompts or just go with the flow.

Prompts
1.) Growth Spurt: All of your friends and/or significant other seem to be getting taller, bigger, and stronger but you’ve somehow missed out and remain the same. Or on the contrary, perhaps you went on a trip and return home/to school/to work to find you’ve outgrown everyone else.
2.) Born This Way: This isn’t a new thing for you, you’ve always been smaller or bigger, it’s everyone else you encounter who needs to get used to it.
3.) Villainous Plot: A villain has shrunk you for some nefarious reason. Perhaps you’re a damsel in distress waiting for a hero to save you, or perhaps you’re the hero and found yourself brought down to size by the villain, or you could just be an innocent bystander who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or on the contrary, you’re the villain and you’ve found a way to make yourself into a powerful giant, or perhaps you’ve found a way to shrink your heroic nemesis. Either way, you’re large and in charge at last.
4.) Ongoing: You’ve not only shrunk/grown, you’re still shrinking/growing. Just how small/tall will you get?
5.) Everyday Life: How does your smaller/larger size impact your day-to-day life? Are you having to shop for clothes in the kids’ section? Can you fit inside your house? How about work and school? Is the media hounding you? Are scientists wanting to run tests on you?
6.) Friends and Family: How are those closest to you handling your new size, and how are you handling being around them now?
7.) Romance: Is your significant other still in love with you? Or if you don’t have a special someone, will you be able to find someone who can see past your size and love you for you?
8.) Fantastic Voyage: You (and probably others) intentionally shrank down to take an internal tour of the human body and find some mysterious ailment inside a world leader before it’s too late to save them.
9.) Kaiju War: You were intentionally grown to fight the giant monsters that are plaguing your world.
10.) Secret Agent Man: A new form of espionage, spies like you shrink down to access areas regular sized people are locked out of and get information undetected.
11.) It's A Living: Being so tall and strong, you've found yourself the center of a lot of job offers; construction, military, advertising, entertainment industry, firefighter, police officer are just a few.
10.) Unforeseen Side-Effects: Perhaps the shrinking process left you with super strength. Or the growth process had a detrimental effect on your mental capabilities and now you’re a cannibalistic giant. Either way, more than a sudden change in size has happened to you.
11.) Unaware: Suddenly finding yourself smaller can be daunting, but without anyone knowing you’re down here can be downright dangerous. Or on the contrary, perhaps you are the one that’s unaware of a smaller person or people in your midst.
12.) Downsizing: Shrinking is simply the newest trend. Whether you want to live like a tiny billionaire, or your goal is to reduce your ecological footprint (and your real one too).
13.) Wild Card

[ World War 2, 1942. The 107th infantry is taken as prisoners of war, most of them are used at internment camps for labor. Breaking rocks into smaller rocks, digging, assembling machines, factory work. Back-breaking labor, wearing them all out until they drop like flies.

The mouthy ones don't last long, the mouthy ones get taken eventually to the back of the complex into an insolation chamber. Nobody ever comes back from there, and if you listen closely at the mouth of the hall leading to it you can hear the sound of never-ending screams. Rather, some men might wish they were never-ending because the second they stopped it meant the next victim got grabbed.

James Barnes is one of the mouthy ones, and it's only a matter of time before they snatch him and take him back. As it turns out, this place isn't just a home for the Nazis. It's a Hydra faction, with a specific devotion to testing and replicating the technologies of other great scientists on the side of the Allies. Dr. Erskine, and one Hank Pym. They pump him full of shit left and right, the blue and then red, and it feels like his bones are on fucking fire.

He stops screaming, but no new men are taken back. He hasn't died. It is, he hears muttered in German, a god damn breakthrough. He might be the first one they make work.

It's a shame to them, he supposes, that Steve breaks him out before their serum finishes its job. Zola can only laugh at him from across a crumbling facility, making wry and ominous jokes at his expense about how he hopes Bucky doesn't disappear. And then he's gone, and they're trekking back to an army base miles away.

The medical team checks him out, and whatever's been done is so far out of their field they can't even detect it. Either way, he feels like absolute fucking shit when they dismiss him to the bunks. He goes anyway, a churning in his stomach and burning in his veins. His muscles scream, but he can't find his voice by the time he gets there. He's nearly crawling, head pounding, threatening to black out, and he all but collapses on the first random bed he can find.

It's not his.

He blacks out.

When he wakes up, it's to a sudden shifting and what feels like an entirely different world. ]

[ The day had been a huge success for the Allies. They’d taken a Nazi and Hydra base, and liberated Barnes and many others. Steve had of course been the one leading the charge, but among those helping him was James Logan Howlett. He was Canadian, but part of the combined Allied frontline, and -lesser known to others- a mutant.

There was a lot of celebration at camp, a lot of drinking. Logan had a reputation for drinking more than anyone else, but even he was seriously feeling it as he stumbled to his cot. He sits down with a groan and works on taking off his boots, shoving them under the bed. He continues to undress. Hat, shirt, undershirt – all coming off, revealing a muscular and quite hairy chest, abs, and back. He stands back up, removing his belt and allowing his pants to fall from him. He sits back down carelessly on the bed, bending down to remove his socks. Only the boxers remain as he lifts his feet up and lays down in the bed with a gruff grunt or two as his body begins to settle. ]

[freightcars]

[ Steps shake the bed, small vibrations that seem to come from nowhere and everywhere all at once. It isn't until Logan sits that Sergeant Barnes' vision clears enough to see him, fucking enormous and lowering himself onto the foot of space before where Bucky lays. The mattress sinks beneath him and the world tilts, rolling him with great force toward that gravitational pull.

He's back up again and it's all Bucky can do to pull himself to his feet and haul ass back toward the center of the mattress for fear of another careening tilt. This turns out to be a mistake when a minute later Logan's entire body encompasses the mattress, an earthquake-sized force that bounces him down between two massive, naked thighs.

At least he made it far down enough to not be pinned beneath a fucking back.

What the fuck-
