The true size of Fontaine's Ludex and Hydro Dragon Sovereign Neuvillette

Neuvillette was a mountain of sweaty flesh, completely immobilized and swallowed by the absurd expanse of his body, almost as big as the capital city of Fontaine itself.

But it was something he couldn't control.

The backstory:

Back in his draconic days many centuries ago, the Hydro Dragon was a fearsome protector of Fontaine, his power unmatched and only comparable to that of the other Dragon Sovereigns of Teyvat who've reigned for millennia. As the primal guard of Fontaine, he gained power from the waters of the nation, and he would be at his most powerful when it profusely rained.

But the Cataclysm struck alongside Khaenriah's fall and the death of most archons, gods and dragons 500 years ago, ending Fontaine's Hydro Archon's life, who was reborn as Neuvillette once the disaster quelled.

Neuvillette had a different perspective of life compared to his predecessor, he was fascinated by human life, and wished he could maybe, one day, shift into a human form and live alongside the people he carefully protects.

And then it hit him, he could! It was possible for him to shed his draconic form and turn into a Fontainian just like everyone else, but it was a permanent decision with no turning back. Spending some decades simply pondering this question, he witnessed how Fontainians began creating machines and evolving to protect themselves from any threats, and realized it would be okay for him to follow up with his desires, and so his body transformed into that of a tall, slender and pale male, only maintaining a fraction of his power as his draconic form. Focalors, aware of Neuvillette's doing, assured him that he would still be able to protect and rule Fontaine as the nation's Ludex, something he greately appreciated.

And for the first couple of days, it seemed like his wish had come true! He could now walk around the streets of his nation as another civilian and form relationships with whomever he'd wish.

But then, it rained for the first time since Neuvillette switched forms, and something was off.

As he stood out in the street, letting the water pour down on his now lithe frame, he felt a strange sensation course through his mind and body; His body was starting to expand. He was lightheaded, and felt a strong warmth building up inside him as he looked down and saw a round stomach threatening to rip his tailor-made shirt open. He panicked for over an hour, not knowing what was happening to him, but his concerns didn't change anything. His shirt burst open, revealing a belly that was now hanging past his belt, and the seams of his clothes began tearing apart.

The rain lasted for 4 hours, and Neuvillette was now 300 pounds heavier.

He ran back home in horror, only covered by remaining shreds of clothing that fit him earlier that morning, and summoned one of his helper Melusines, who was just as shocked as him.

They talked for hours, theorizing on what could've happened.

And then he realized it, standing upright from his seated position in shock and horror of what his descovery entailed.

Neuvillette had just permanently and irreversibly cursed himself into becoming a behemoth.

Mimicking the form of a human, he wasn't one, and therefore the quirks of being a dragon lingered in him. As a Hydro dragon of massive proportions, he only gained strength through water, which powered his draconic body. However, now being a fraction of his original size, and most importantly, no longer needing the presence of water to power himself, that massive amount of energy has no other choice but to be stored as fat tissue on his body.

The Melusine looked at him with worry, what did that mean? Did that imply each time it rains, he would considerably fatten up, with no way of controlling it? He would soon find that answer out once it rained once more two days later, where he reached 800 pounds. Coming into contact with the droplets would cause him to gain more energy, but he could spend the whole day inside and still be greatly affected, as long as the lands of Fontaine were blessed with rain, he would grow heavier.

Only a month of time and a rainy season was all it took for Neuvillette to have become immobile under his weight. His legs could no longer hold up, and he took his last step.

But he had already come to terms with this. He was still happy to have been able to live a normal human life even if for only some days, and the people of Fontaine and Focalors still relied on his guidance. So, before he got any heavier, he ordered they'd transport his already massive body to the middle of the nearest open field, and they found the perfect spot right behind the city capital. There, he would conduct his job as the nation's Ludex for the foreseeable future, knowing his body would

The present:

Neuvillette's has become one of Fontaine's most notorious landmarks. Impossibly massive, he sits encased in hundreds of gigantic folds of fat, unable to move an inch of his body. His only way of communication and contact is through Melusines, who thankfully possess the ability of speaking with him with their minds, and relay the information of the current case taking place in the Opera Epiclese so he can give out his judgement and fulfill his duties as the Ludex.

When he became immobilized centuries ago, Fontainians were still as slim as every other nation's people, so he found great interest in witnessing from afar how they also began getting progressively fatter each generation. He doesn't know whether to feel a sense of happiness that his people were starting to resemble him, or be concerned at what that implies for the future centuries of Fontaine, but it's not like he of all people get a say on what's considered too big.

Neuvillette continues to grow heavier each time rain hits, and until the world ends, he will continue to expand in every direction. As of now, he is the heaviest living being in all of Teyvat, and the rightful sole owner of Fontaine's "Uncontainable" weight class title.

i love your makoto art!!! what are your thoughts on hajime? hes my fave

I love Hajime!!! He's my favorite protagonist and one of my favorite characters of the game series overall (partly cause I find him really hot for some reason)

If you're referring to what I feel about him being fat I love it too!! Makoto is the character I'm most clear about him getting really big, but it's always fun to imagine some storylines for Hajime to get fat

I ship him with either Nagito or Kazuichi and those other two I also see great potential for weight gain so there's many possible weight gain stories to cook up with them

Don't know if I ever said this but I find referencing SSBBWs extremely helpful as well since women's bodies store fat much differently than men and it's much easier to see rolls of fat and softer fat to reference from (I think bc women store more subcutaneous fat instead of visceral fat?). In most cases men's bodies are much rounder and firmer, but I really like the sagginess and softness of subcutaneous fat

Are there any containment plans in place for when Neuvilette starts touching anything actually significant?I can imagine he can become a serious threat through size alone both to ppl and structures

I think they would try to build a strong wall right to the shore to at least buy themselves time until Neuvillette eventually grows to reach the sea. It might even last for a year, but he will eventually start to get so big the wall would be fighting against thousands of tons of his fat and would collapse.

Moving Neuvillette somewhere further from a body of water is impossible, and he'd still eventually get big enough to touch the sea, so Fontainians might have to prepare an evacuation during the period of Neuvillette's body struggling against the wall and settle much further away. Or maybe they're creative and decide to live on top of Neuvillette himself, lel, it's up to the future generations of Fontainians to decide what to do.

Every day I fantasize about technology advancing to a point where we're able to easily create and put on a VR headset and interact with a massive guy of our choice. Like at some point it should be possible right??? 10 years from now rubbing a 2000 pound heavy Zhongli's belly in a realistic simulation, like I would kill for that, I cannot wait for it to be possible some day
