History ACupAngst / FanWorks

* In ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'', [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 Pearl]] is deeply insecure about her flat chest, as it serves as a constant reminder of an incident in her youth where she [[DisabledInTheAdaptation recieved a nasty scar across her back]]. It halted her puberty, and even all these years later, her body still remains misshapen.

** In another Saki strip, found [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1225165?tags=iwato_kasumi here]], Kyouko becomes jealous when Kasumi [[GagBoobs uses her enormous breasts to flip over her tiles]]. Saki tries the same thing, but with no success.

* In ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'', [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 Pearl]] is deeply insecure about her flat chest, as it serves as a constant reminder of an incident in her youth where she recieved a nasty scar across her back. It halted her puberty, and even all these years later, her body still remains misshapen.

* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': Implied for Lana. Her first reaction to meeting a girl named Iolani, who [[StatuesqueStunner is rather tall]] [[BuxomIsBetter and curvaceous]] is uttering the words "I am envious". A later sidestory has her telling her classmate Velvet Lono, who has a similar frame, that her breasts are "large and enviable".

* In ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'', [[VideoGame/Splatoon2 Pearl]] is deeply insecure about her flat chest, as it serves as a constant reminder of an incident in her youth where she recieved a nasty scar across her back. Even all these years later, her body still remains misshapen.

** Austria's gender-bend is portrayed this way in fanon. Austria and Liechtenstein are seen mourning about it in a webcomic on Pixiv. Also, one artist also on Pixiv drew her, Prussia, and Germany: with Germany at the big size (G Cup), Prussia at the middle size (E cup), and Austria as the small size (B cup). This is because WordOfGod said he applied A-Cup Angst to Liechtenstein because he saw that women in Switzerland and Austria ranked lower in breast size.

** This trope is so ubiquitous that when Ryuujou, an aircraft carrier that actually ''prides'' herself on her "[[PetitePride distinctive silhouette]]" entered the fray, fanon naturally assumed she was lying and subjected her to all sorts of breast envy and flat jokes. Website/{{Pixiv}} calls the practice [[https://bit.ly/2Rfs5Vs "RJ Bullying"]], and Website/{{Danbooru}} has a [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/10125 dedicated pool]] for collecting some of the crueler jokes off the internet.

* In the ''Splatoon'' fic ''Fanfic/IveGotYourBack'', Pearl doesn't like her body. Her chest and back are her two main points of disgust. Her chest is barely developed and she hates it.

* ''Webcomic/{{Between Friends}}'': Before removing her bra, Star warns Marco that she is not "like Jackie". While she says she's not worried, Marco nonetheless assures her that she's perfect just the way she is.

* ''Fanfic/BetweenTheLines'': From [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10979729/42/Between-The-Lines Chapter 42]], Suzushina Yuriko, as referenced multiple times in the chapter, with stuttering and such:

* A source of angst for Mob in the ''Manga/MobPsycho100'' gender swap fanfics ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13226631/1/Shigeko-Kageyama-AKA-Mob Shigeko Kageyama AKA Mob]]'' and ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13315535/1/Everyone-Loves-Mob Everyone Loves Mob]]''.

* There are quite a few ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' fan art that just ''love'' to have most of the girls give hell to some of the others, with Love Momozono/Cure Peach of ''Anime/FreshPrettyCure'' and Hibiki Hojo/Cure Melody of ''Anime/SuitePrettyCure'' getting the worst of it for the leader-types. This is due to the fact that, thanks to various artist designs for the characters, the Fresh and Suite teams do have visible breasts while most everyone else is drawn completely flat.

* ''VideoGame/KantaiCollection'' fanworks really like applying this trope to the less-endowed girls:

* ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'':
** Austria's gender-bend is portrayed this way in fanon. Austria and Liechtenstein are seen mourning about it in a webcomic on Pixiv. Also, one artist also on Pixiv drew her, Prussia, and Germany: with Germany at the big size (G Cup), Prussia at the middle size (E cup), and Austria as the small size (B cup). This is because WordOfGod said he applied A-Cup Angst to Liechtenstein because he saw that women in Switzerland and Austria ranked lower in breast size.
** Japan's gender-bend also gets this treatment, especially since the canon sketches of her don't exactly emphasize her assets the way sketches of many other Nyotalia nations do. In [[http://i56.tinypic.com/f51ulx.jpg one Pixiv fanart]], she's shown weeping about having no chest compared to the extremely well-endowed Greece's.
* PlayedForDrama in ''FanFic/ADanceOnTheMats''. Rainbow Dash is insecure about her lack of curves, and doesn't bring her friends to [[BelligerentSexualTension her spars with Anon]] out of fear they'll take his attention away from her.

* During Chapter 2 of ''FanFic/DespairsLastResort'', Shizuka Matsuki tries to claim she doesn't have this. She fails to be convincing.
* ''Manga/{{Evangelion 303}}'': Inverted. In chapter 15, Asuka teases Kelly about her -Kelly's- chest being too big to play rugby properly.

* {{VideoGame/Touhou}} fanart, in general, splits the cast into either flat or gigantic... and tends to represent one of each in fanart:

** Generally speaking, it's an enormously popular trend in ''Friendship is Magic'' humanized fanworks to portray Rainbow Dash as [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} the most petite]] member of the main group. Depending on the writer/artist, she's usually [[PetitePride proud of her small breasts]] (being an athlete)... but just as often you have her secretly overcompensating to hide her insecurities when comparing herself to Fluttershy, her best friend since childhood and popularly depicted as being [[HiddenBuxom the most buxom]] of the six.

** This trope is so ubiquitous that when Ryuujou, an aircraft carrier that actually ''prides'' herself on her "[[PetitePride distinctive silhouette]]" entered the fray, fanon naturally assumed she was lying and subjected her to all sorts of breast envy and flat jokes. Website/{{Pixiv}} calls the practice [[http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?s_mode=s_tag_full&word=RJ%E3%81%84%E3%81%98%E3%82%81 "RJ Bullying"]], and Website/{{Danbooru}} has a [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/10125 dedicated pool]] for collecting some of the crueler jokes off the internet.

* ''Fanfic/YetAgain'' has Ghost announce an intro for fighters during the Chunin Exams. This comes up:
--> '''Ghost:''' "Let's get this started before we get any more distracted! Hyuuga Hinata AKA the only Konoha kunoichi that has hit puberty so far..."
--> '''Sakura and Ino:''' (look at Hinata then themselves and proceed to [[CornerOfWoe sulk in the corner]]) "I'm still pretty."
