Keeping An Eye Out For Penacony. If What I Feel Is Right It Might Turn Out To Be A Fontaine 2.0 And I

Keeping an eye out for Penacony. If what I feel is right it might turn out to be a Fontaine 2.0 and I might have to invest my attention into it

Character design commission for @tertiarydumpster of characters from a fic they're working on based on the Genshin obesity au!

I love Tumblr asks cause a big part of how I do character/worldbuilding is by answering questions and building on scenarios from other people's ideas

Also love throwing ideas back and forth with another person but I know there's not that many people out there who are also deep into genshin lore and stuff so it's alright

Regarding Fontaine in the Obesity AU, I’m not sure it’s been asked before, but how do you think the culture/expectation of weight gain in Fontaine began? Was it something that just had to become accepted over time or was it almost encouraged like Mondstat and their insistence on freedom? Oh and I have to ask, would you be comfortable with me writing a Fic regarding your AU? (With credit of course). I love your AU and your work!

Hi! It was kind of a process which took hundreds of years to get to this point.

I argued that Fontaine was always ahead in terms of technological advancements, as well as settling in a region without any real threats (unlike the dangerous thundering mountains of Inazuma or the vast desert and populated rainforest of Sumeru). The capital is surrounded by huge, secure walls and humans no longer find themselves having to do much hard labor in their lives.

All of that slowly but surely started affecting people's waistlines, and as people found more free time, they began to become more prone to indulge further, and food started to play a huge part of their culture and history.

As decades went by, overconsumption of food became more and more normalized, especially with nations like Liyue finding an opportunity to make a lot of money and beginning to assemble special lines of commerce to export food over there.

Through the centuries, Fontainian bodies were also able to slowly start adapting to the sheer weight they were carrying, now being able to carry themselves much better than other nation's people. After all, a 1000 pound Sumerian would struggle to even leave his own bed, but the half ton mark is usually just the minimum weight for the large majority of Fontainians.

Also, Fontainian bodies have adapted in a way where putting on fat is extremely easy, and moderation is required in order not to end up completely swallowed by a sea of fat, something hard to achieve in a hedonistic nation like this one. Losing weight is often also never an option, their bodies have developed in a way where shedding even a single pound is practically impossible unless they've been born with a lightning-quick metabolism. This means once they slipping up in terms of weight gain is a permanent action with no way of going back

As for your second question, yes, of course you can write about it!!!! I'd be incredibly happy if you decide to and I would love to check that out. I love hearing people's thoughts on this and see what they come up with

It had only been two years, but Freminet had already undergone a massive transformation. Going from 2300+ pounds, he now weighed over 6500.

He was gaining weight very fast, way faster than most Fontainians, and he felt completely helpless about it. He just wanted to gorge nonstop, eat his feelings, sate his hunger, all at once, and it was showing on his bloated body.

He's putting on an average of 7 pounds a day, growing heavier and more fatigued each passing morning. But what truly hit him the hardest was how much of a disaster he looked next to his older siblings. They only put on around 5 pounds during all that time, while he packed on two entire tons of fat on him. It was almost comical watching the three stand next to each other.

The stress and embarrassment of getting so massive so quickly made him hide in his bedroom even more, only wanting to spend hours and hours eating and eating.

Lyney tries to comfort him, telling him it's completely normal for him to be this size. After all, an "entire quarter of the nation!" is still much heavier than him, but Freminet remembers when he was told that at least "half of the nation!" was still much heavier than him, making him worry just more at how massive he is getting.

Even if Freminet wants to deny it, he has long gone past the point of no return, and he's heading into the complete immobilization territory at such a high speed.
