Commission for anon!

Hello, I'm not really into Genshin. But your world building is always interesting and nice to see. I'm a geek for numbers so I love that you include thecnical details like that. I'm not sure if you have talked about what's considered attractive in Fountaine before. I just assumed that they just considered fat their standard of normal and didn't think much of it. But your description of what's attractive for the Meztli people made me wonder how the beauty standards of Fountaine compare, and what's "symptoms" that come with a big appetite and big body are considered attractive.

On another note, your art is amazing. You really know how to convey heft and detail fat folds. And your warm color palettes make me wanna hug every character you draw. Keep up the great work on anything you want to draw!

First of all, wow, thank you! I'm so happy you also share the specifics I also love in weight gain work with me ^^ Comments like yours make my day.

And to answer your question, yes! Fontainians do also have Beauty Standards much like other regions, though it's kind of different.

Here's two Fontainian guys both of the same age and class. The left one is the most average guy you can find on the street, and the visual of what a normal, "healthy" Fontainian male looks like.

The second guy, however, is a popular model and boytoy in Fontaine called Émeric, and let's call the first guy Louis. Émeric is considered an extremely attractive man who has every girl on her knees wherever he goes, while Louis is just an average guy who will likely go on to live a normal life and probably end bedridden like most guys.

Different sizes don't carry more or less attractiveness value towards a man in Fontaine. Moreso, it's the way their fat is distributed.

What girls adore about Émeric's body is the fact most of his weight goes to his legs, making them insanely massive. In Fontaine, having your feet be completely obscured from view under hundreds of pounds of leg fat is possibly if not one of the most attractive things people find in a man. The lower the weight this happens for the first time in the more girls will go crazy for. Émeric's feet have been gone for years, and now the fat on his legs continues expanding and swallowing them more and more. Louis, on the other hand, has pretty heavy legs, but he's still beyond having his toes see the light of day for the last time.

Men with less leg fat are considered less attractive, and why is that? Well, Émeric will obviously go onto the "fat" weight class, the last one before total immobility, where men are somehow still able to walk before the 10,000 pound mark albeit with sluggish, struggling waddles. Having a great abundance of leg fat is what defines when a man goes immobile or not, thanks to the balance and stability it provides. A "chubby" man with skinny legs for his size? He might as well be immobile already, the mass on top of him is too much for those legs, and girls prefer their guys to be able to stand up as long as possible, so Émeric's legs will simply continue to grow in every direction, with more sacks of hundreds of pounds of fat sagging further down to the ground.

If you've kept up with the Genshin Obesity AU Fontaine lore and remember the weight classes, Émeric's size is that of the "Chubby" class, which in Fontaine is the more than well known "point of no return" where men are no longer physically able to stop themselves from eating their way into permanent full-bodied immobility, which applies to our friend Émeric here, who is fully aware a couple decades from now he will turn into a mountain of constantly panting and sweating lard, being lucky to be able to move his fingertips an inch for the rest of his life. And what does he feel about that? He can't wait!

Men who take part in Fontaine's culture and customs are always favored, immobility is a reality a huge portion of men will face sooner or later, and those who constantly try to fight against it or express their dread as they hit 2000 pounds or more are heavily judged as men who don't want to belong in their culture. Most men inside the immobile weight class (10,000 pounds+) are fathers or grandfathers, so they've come to terms with their size for decades, since their own fathers and grandfathers ended up like them too, so sons are made to be grateful for whatever their size is and stop thinking dumb ideas like "losing weight".

So, obviously, girls will gravitate towards guys who are content with their bodies instead of the insecure ones. But, guys like Émeric, who know that they've reached the point of no return, and instead of growing depressed for some time due to its implications and accepting it after weeks, revel in the fact, announces it with pride to everyone he knows and holds a buffet to celebrate it? That level of confidence makes girls go crazy.

There are other more superficial things that make men more "conventionally attractive" than others, since Fontaine is based on France, conventionally pretty features that also exist in our Europe are present.

Extreme fat-related things are also taken into consideration to determine who's attractive and not, such as favoring symmetrical fat distributions over lumpy and uneven ones, or as little stretch marks as possible, as it shows men who have been consistently growing their bodies all of their lives and show control of their weighs unlike those who can't control themselves and have sudden bursts of weight gains and plateaus. Burping/Farting is preferred to be kept at a minimum due to politeness, but as men get into the extreme size ranges they're harder to control, so people are more forgiving, especially since properly immobile men... Man, you can just hear them from outside their homes, let's just say that. Fontainian streets are never quiet.

And the swallowed feet thing again. A photo of a guy's foot lost between so many hundreds or thousands of pounds of leg fat is the equivalent of a nude for us.

I hope that was helpful to illustrate it! It was really fun writing this up, thank you for the ask!

Hi guys! I've just been made aware that there's someone impersonating me on Twitter. If you see this account know it's not me! If you guys could leave replies on their tweets to let others know they're an impostor I would really appreciate it ^^

Do you have a weight planned for Ororon or Capitano yet?

No idea for Ororon yet since he hasn't appeared in the game so far and we dont know anything abt him/what tribe he's from

As for Capitano I need to think it through for a bit. I haven't gotten to meet him in game yet but I might want to know a bit more about him before fully settling for a size. Also the way I might interpret Snezhnaya could impact his appearance. I don't know, a lot of variables, so for the time being those two I'll just be keeping in one corner of my head until I know more about them

Now that Natlan is out, I've been thinking on how it could piece together into the AU.

Strong people do have fat on their bodies too and are stronger than the bodybuilders that dehydrate themselves for aesthetics, so I feel like Natlanian men would stray towards preferring strong, bulky bodies. Or...well, some tribes definitely leaning towards bulky more than others, you'll see.

I think it'd also be interesting to separate how it'd be like in the six different tribes of the nation instead of grouping it all into one due to how different they all are. We only have access to Nanatzcayan, Meztli, and Huitztlan right now, so that's what I'll be focusing on until we know more/I find out more info about the other tribes (I havent started Act 2 of the archon quest yet).

First off;

Nanatzcayan / Children of the Echoes

Big hunky men, that's what Nanatzcayan is all about. Sure, some guys get to the point of being morbidly obese, but compared to the other Natlan tribes, they got things mostly in control. You won't see many men from here without some huge muscles and a tough stomach that makes them look like boulders.

Secondly;

Meztli / People of the Springs

Meztli men put to shame every other tribe in Natlan in terms of pure obesity. Before opening the gates to tourism, they were still the heaviest in Natlan thanks to the abundance of fish and peaceful location to live in that enabled their bodies to grow heavy generation after generation, but after opening the floodgates and letting Fontaine's influence reach them through their nutrition, they set themselves up to an accelerating epidemic of morbid obesity that is likely way too late to stop anymore. I mean, men getting out of breath from physical exertion and outgrowing clothes are seen as something extremely attractive to them now, that doesn't sound like they can be helped much anymore, aye?

And lastly;

Huitztlan / Scions of Canopy

Huitztlanian men's fixation with growing out their stomachs as wide as they can while keeping the rest of their bodies muscular is more than interesting and is mostly a cultural practice of theirs, as it both holds its practical uses and has been a sign of pride for centuries. Technically speaking, all of them are fat, but most of them still maintain an agility they've trained to master since birth many cannot say they posses. Of course, there's also men who overdo it a bit, and grow to a size you can't really call "agile" anymore, but that's just part of the course.

With the addition of these three tribes, Teyvat's average weight distribution by area so far would go something like this:

Inazuma, average weight: 152 lbs

Sumeru, average weight: 167 lbs

Liyue, average weight: 202 lbs

Nanatzcyan, average weight: 320 lbs

Huitztlan, average weight: 354 lbs

Mondstadt, average weight: 481 lbs

Meztli, average weight: 603 lbs

Fontaine, average weight: 980 lbs

If you were to ask me about Snezhnaya, I would put it in the second half, not as large as Fontainians since they're the star of the show but,,,yeah, they will need some padding for their nation covered in snow all year, eh?

That's all for now!

This took quite a bit of work, so please!!!, if you have any questions, or ideas, or anything you wanna throw into my asks, I'd be so happy to answer and bounce back ideas with you if I find something worth discussing/drawing.

I also invite you if you know a lot about lore and stuff of Genshin to give me possible ideas to build off on so we can make this even more interesting and grounded in the canon as we can. I really love working on this AU and I really wanna hear what you guys feel about these ideas I just added to it ^^
