How common is getting fattened into a blob in your setting, and what are your OCs’ feelings regarding blobbing out? ——— hmm... ive never actually thought about this, but this is a very interesting question! that being said, i imagine it not being too uncommon? obviously the extreme end of city sized blobs (or even just building sized) and above is very rare and it's a spectacle to see such a thing, but there's a decently sized subculture of blobs who kinda treat it like any other mobility impairment. they've got some mobility aids but its rare for modern day architecture to accommodate all their needs. so they often have to stay in one place or a few specific places that can actually host them as for my character's thoughts on the matter? most of them wouldn't have any problem with it, at least conceptually! most of the issues come from finding jobs that can be done from home, considering they aren't gonna be moving much when they actually blob out. lena would probably have the least issues since freelancing is her main gig. the rest would probably have to start finding new jobs and new ways of engaging with their hobbies when mobility becomes a bigger and bigger (heh) issue. of course, when you get big enough, you just kinda start becoming... a major center of attention. people might start literally paying you just to get bigger. think of it like how people say some celebrities are famous just for their looks. its like that but for real. khaal is an outlier since she's a goddess. she doesn't really need an income and can quite literally control her body weight. as such she often freely blobs out in her own residence for personal comfort.
