I've Been Curious, What Is The Traveler's Waistline Looking Like As We Now Get Into Natlan? He'd Been

I've been curious, what is the traveler's waistline looking like as we now get into Natlan? He'd been in Fontaine for some time now.

Aether's done some seriously irreparable damage to his body that he'll just have to learn to live on with, cause if one thing's for sure, is that no pound gained in Fontaine is ever lost.

Seeing that it was time for Aether to head towards his next stop in his adventure, Liney gifted him some light garments for him to wear in Natlan.

When the time came, he said goodbye and wished Aether good luck on his plans of losing the weight now that he was leaving Fontaine. After he was gone, though, Liney stood there for a moment and wondered if he should have told him the truth.

The fact that this was just the start of a spiral of hedonism for Aether.

He kept it quiet the whole year Aether was in Fontaine, but he noticed that he was different than everyone else who visited Fontaine for more than a couple months. He had never seen the transformation of curious tourist to life-changingly gigantic go as fast as it did for Aether, I mean, one year? That's all it took him to weigh a metric ton?

The Fatui Harbinger Tartaglia's case made the rounds at the time for the same transformation, but it took him five years to get to Aether's size, not one!

Liney never told Aether to slow down, or that he was growing concerningly fast. Aether was just a full-on glutton, he willingly ate every meal until he felt like bursting, every day, several times a day. The Fontainian environment completely numbed his sense of reason, he didn't feel that big when there were men weighing ten times as much as him in every house, so he grew uncontrollably.

And a year went by, with Aether now struggling to carry over 2000 pounds of pure fat on his body and plans of returning back to his original size that amounted to nothing more than wishful thinking.

He didn't even try, maybe he couldn't even try anymore, he gorged himself on every single food stand, restaurant or other people's homes out of desperation to feel the pang of pain of an overstuffed stomach he's grown accustomed and addicted to.

And when he got to Natlan, things didn't change the way he expected it to.

His first stop at Nanatzcayan was met with mixed emotions. The tribe members thought he was a lost Fontainian tourist, but they quickly found out he was the legendary traveler that's been saving every nation in Teyvat. A bit confused, they still showed their admiration, and Aether used it as an opportunity to meekly ask them for the location of every restaurant and food stalls in all of Natlan, something the tribespeople agreed to, though they really shouldn't have for Aether's own good.

It wasn't much adventuring after that, he simply wanted to eat everywhere before deciding which place he liked the most and settle there for several months until he felt he was ready to continue his mission of meeting the archon.

Until then, he met Kinich from Huitztlan, who, unlike most other people, paused for a second to think about the very alarming situation Aether had dug himself into. Why is everyone treating him like there's nothing wrong? Does this look like someone who could save a nation?

Kinich knew Aether's future didn't look too bright as an adventurer, much like Liney, and he was genuinely concerned for his time at Meztli, feeling sure it would just dig his hole even deeper and genuinely turn into a hopeless situation, so he tried his best to hint him towards maybe not checking that place out.

Aether paused, yeah...it's true things have been getting a bit out of hand, but he heard from all the Nanatzcayans that he would love Meztli and its food the most, he can't just not go, right? I mean, maybe he doesn't like the food after all, but he has to at least try, isn't that the meaning of an adventurer? Exploring?

So he thanked Kinich for the advice, but told him he still intended to go to Meztli anyways.

"Well, there's no coming back for him then, let's hope we meet a different hero some day." He said to himself and waved goodbye to the doomed traveler.

Kinich then made his way back home.

"I... can't end up like that guy, no way, no way in hell I'm going to get as big as dad or my brothers. I need to slim down, I've hit my goal weight a long time ago. I'll try to change things...tomorrow."

Commission for anon!

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

Commissions open!!!

It's time for a new round of orders!

I don't have any specific number of slots in mind this time, but I plan on doing a minimum of 5, until... who knows!

If you've sent a form in the previous batch that didn't get picked and are still interested, you can resend the form with the same thing, and also send more forms with any other ideas you may have as well if you want! More chances to get something I'd love to work on!

Happy commissioning, hope I can work with you!

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!

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 ^^
