Stamp of Rejection
"REJECTED"
"DENIED"
These are the words that any applicant dreads, the indication that whatever they were trying to do or get permission for is not going to happen.
Often it appears in bright red ink, stamped across the face of the application. This, of course, is done so the audience can easily make it out.
Other times the act of stamping is shown, sometimes in slow motion, impacting with a resounding thud, as though crushing the hopes and dreams of the applicant beneath it. This is often the weapon of choice for the
Trickster Transformee
When it comes to characters who've become the victim of Involuntary Shapeshifting, a Forced Transformation, a "Freaky Friday" Flip, a Shapeshifter Mode Lock, being Brought Down to Normal, or some other transformative event, it's all too common for them to end up in a form that's smaller, weaker, or just less impressive than everyone else in the setting. Doubly unfortunately, these characters usually still have a mission to complete and now lack the strength that would have allowed them an easy victory.
