The Thought You Put Into This Stuff Really Makes Your Art Wayyyyy More Interesting When It Helps Illustrate

The thought you put into this stuff really makes your art wayyyyy more interesting when it helps illustrate the larger world these characters live in. You’re a genius I swear 🙏 I wanna hear anything and everything about how they live in Fontaine lmao

hueheuheu thank you kindly!! Comments like this motivate me to continue doing these type of things >:]

Is the Fontaine situation stable? Or does it increase with each year?

If it is the second, how do you see the future of the nation? I mean, they would have to keep adapting everything to the new sizes right? 👀

Let’s say the average weight of Fontainians goes up bit by bit each passing year 🤭🤭

Nothing is being done to stop them from growing larger appetites and continuing to grow less and less mobile and more and more ravenous, who’s to say immobility percentages will plateau at 10% and not go up?

Really gives one food for thought on how Fontaine would look like some decades or another century or two in the future, doesn’t it? Would love to hear y’all thoughts

If I could try my hand at another world building ask, (glad you liked the first by the way, I definitely felt myself wanting to do some tourist-ing after reading your response ;) how about living situations and layouts for homes and houses? Are Fontaine homes much roomier and with wider doors, more ramps, less steps? Do Mondstadt people usually have roommates, due to the encouraged freedom, thereby allowing more lifestyles to meet and hedonistic habits to spark? Are Sumer and Liyue architects becoming more conscious of obesity? And does Inazuma keep enforcing more building codes and laws that aim to discourage any potential rising obesity rates? I have a couple more questions and ideas, if you'd like to hear :)

yess, wonderful question!

Starting with Fontaine, you've probably seen one of my latests posts where I went around the map and noted just how wide the streets and interiors of this region are.

On the topic of their homes, they are definitely built with the intent of housing super obese residents. Fontainians have had centuries to perfect their building designs, after all.

Usually, if a house has more than one floor, the most lightweight members will live in the upper floor, while the heavier ones would remain in the ground floor, for obvious reasons. Homes almost never have any stairs either, fully relying on elevators.

Most family homes host at least one person weighing over 1000 pounds, usually being the father, so houses are already prepared for those nearing the verge of immobility, or people who have already become bedridden. Bathrooms are required by law to be large enough to hold a 2500 pound person with enough room, and though most houses don't have people that big, it is still of great help to the super obese residents. Most people can also afford machines installed on the bathroom walls to wash the bodies of those who get too exhausted doing it.

Indoor mobility aids are a must, like the handrails which are part of every Fontainian household, going through all the walls of their house's halls to facilitate getting around without becoming too exhausted. Grab bars are also commonly found next to beds and sofas.

Of course, every single piece of furniture is reinforced in advance. In Fontaine they're the norm, so they're never referred to as "reinforced". Aside from being much larger than those from other nations, beds and sofas in Fontaine are always covered with sweat absorbent sheets.

Now off to Mondstadt, I believe the architecture wouldn't be as different as it currently on the actual game. Despite the constant encouragement to indulge, the circumstances aren't as perfect as they're in Fontaine to allow the development of such an extreme level of morbid obesity. 83% of Mondstadtians are still mobile and light enough to be physically able to go up stairs and such, but that 17% still remains, and though not as extreme as Fontaine, it is not that rare to stumble upon men heaving their thousand-pound bodies around, which is why some homes are built for these people, sharing certain elements found on Fontainian homes to a less extreme extent.

Liyueans somehow have built houses ready to house extremely obese residents, despite the fact that the Liyueans who have reached the point of immobility after too many work or touristic visits to Fontaine have moved to Fontaine itself. And why is that? To encourage Fontainians to move to Liyue.

As mentioned in the last ask, Liyueans have some vacation sites set up that attract Fontainians from across the land so they can profit off the exhorbitant money covered by personal care and food. Sly Liyuean businessmen often talk with these clients and convince them to move to Liyue so they can continue enjoying the great care they provide, which explains why some buildings in the exteriors of the city resemble those of Fontaine.

Sumerian households are unadapted to house the super obese, as Fontainians don't go there looking for real estate, on top of the fact that Liyue has already snatched them of that business and have much more wealth and means to build these type of residential buildings. Inazuma hasn't even considered adapting their cities to facilitate the lives of very large people as it goes against their beliefs.

As a fun fact, the last thing to mention here is that other than native Fontainians, the second largest group of people living in Fontaine are Liyueans. After several years, almost every merchant who ships goods to Fontaine and settles for some days selling their stock will end up too obese to live comfortably back in Liyue, so it is not an uncommon thing to stumble upon quite more Liyuean people than those from other nations when visiting Fontaine!

Went on a walk through Fontaine and took photos to explain how the nation is very adapted to morbid obesity

this art's singlehandedly making me want to get into Persona just to start drawing them too

Feeders in Teyvat would have a trip field visiting Fontaine, it's very common for these people to purposefully marry Fontainian men for this reason!
