Oldish Hidai And Noboru Art. Every Now And Then They Pop Up In My Head

Oldish Hidai and Noboru art. Every now and then they pop up in my head

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!

I love them so much... expect more art of them 👀

Commission for anon!

have you seen the one guy in the ten stonehearts video absolutely surrounded by food? im so curious about him what if hes a total glutton hehe

I'll definitely be keeping my peepers open once we learn more about him 👀👀

A bit bittersweet that the posts I put most effort and time in are the ones who get the least traction, but I'm not too upset by it since I understand most people just want to see big boys and move on with their day instead of reading 20 paragraphs of fat lore for a game they don't play haha

That just makes me appreciate the people that read all the things I write and support me with ideas and inbox asks more, I really like doing something more than regular fat drawings and I'm glad there's at least a small group of people who finds enjoyment and great interest in exploring these types of things in writing/art ^^ even if it doesn't get me as much overall attention as basic fat art, reading comments about people's interpretations and understanding of my writing makes it all worth it.

Just a morning thought of gratitude I thought I'd share, have a good day!
