As a UK fur I generally find the US a much more open and dynamic place compared to our little island. Without it I doubt furry art and lifestyle would be as widespread, or indeed exist at all. The US is so varied culturally I am probably talking more about bigger city, or coastal sensibilities, so you’ll have to let me off! In the UK when I hear an American accent I feel very at ease because you guys are so much fun and chatty… at least those with passports are! Even grumpy New Yorkers.

European shops in more urban areas, like where I live, have *much* less choice compared to even the most basic US stores, so I am always in awe of the breadth of choice and sizes available. I find food in the US can be both high on quality and scale, depending on what you’re looking for! It’s hot to know about some of the cheaper foods being so stuffed with high-fructose corn syrup due to 30s era farm subsidies that it practically re-programs your metabolism to turn you into a fatty. You over sugar things, even salads taste sweeter, it’s sooo easy to get fat over there it’s crazy. The only things I’d miss would be some of the fish we get here, UK chocolate and Irn Bru, and using dark humour without offending people… oops!

I lived in coastal southern CA for 2 years just before COVID hit. It was beautiful and I absolutely loved it, and was willing to put up with the health insurance part as it came with my job. I’m aware of how unrepresentative that place was when compared to the rest of the US. I’ve travelled a lot on the west coast and a brief trip to Minneapolis but never been on the east coast. Living in CA, paying taxes and what not, I felt like I could live more anonymously and truly be myself, knowing people didn’t really care. I felt very welcome, but I think some Americans get a little disarmed by a British accent when they’re not expecting it.

Compared to home, the US felt a bit more live and let live as British people can be a bit nosey and judgey. I was in a university town so people were bound to be chill, but I felt pretty free there, even if it was a skinny place by and large. I hadn’t fully come out as a furry at that point, so missed my opportunity to meet people or do a con or something! Regrets!

Seriously though, the food, the beer, the sun, the portion sizes and omg the fat-friendly clothes! I think I’m still wearing some jogging “pants” I bought back then because they are so comfy. I think that’s the biggest draw. It’s so easy to operate as a big fatty in the US. So much more space and car-centric. I don’t like cars that much, but even now I drive more than I take public transport here in the UK (all public transport sucks outside of London and parts of Scotland… but that’s a whine for another time!). It’s a trade off for growing an enormous US-sized butt.

Having fat so normalised is hugely beneficial, as so many of my European counterparts will also attest, to actually gaining weight and committing to the lifestyle. I would be a much bigger person if I were still there. I feel like a few of my current US friends would love to corrupt me.

Culturally, you’re also much more polite and sincere compared to us post-imperial Brits, who are much more coded, sarcastic and dare I say a little darker. We’re going through a rough time here. I appreciate the enthusiasm and positivity that has been so lacking in our country, I dunno, since Titanic sank? Either way, for all its faults, wacko religious crazies & nut jobs, I am a huge fan of the US and its furs.

Part of me would love to be an enormous flub in a world of normal sized people, but I'm also a nurturer at heart, so I know I would be super helpful and a good feeder for a community of complete butterballs. I choose the latter, so I can help others get fatter and softer beyond what's possible by themselves. I'd still be waddling though I hope!

ryoxxl:

I draw a lot of inspiration from feedees that are genuinely into the fetish and have gained huge amounts of weight + extra kink points when they flirt with the idea of immobility. The likes of ChubbyChiquita and Nadya come to mind! Two beautiful women who gave into their darkest kink urges without any cajoling by a fetish-obsessed partner or otherwise. Nothing hotter! Honestly, having such kink compatibility and seeing how enthusiastically they gain weight is such so astonishingly mind blowing that it compels me to draw. The world is a much more awesome place with gainers like that in it. I find extreme gaining fantasies hot.

On the body shape front, there are too many amazingly beautiful BBWs, SSBBWs and feedees to name and they’ve undoubtedly all left their mark on me and my love of fat and all its facets. I guess my preference is for a more bottom heavy look with some big boobs, which can be exaggerated somewhat. Nothing beats the real thing though!

ryoxxl:

Fattened up to become one of them, and maybe a little bit of mutual gaining. I draw to explore my own urges as a helpless fat fetishist (Suzie is an outlet). An endless supply of inspiration, no? It would be crazy fun to meet a couple of fat friends with similar outlooks & self expression to me... but with massive appetites and an overt aim to make me as fat (or fatter) than them. Sitting in fast food restaurants as "fat table" is goals, and having them track my progress would be a fun journey. I would be sure my own influence enables them to gain an extra 50 lbs in the first few months too!

ryoxxl:

I can't say I ever feel proud about my art. If I'm still turned on by something I draw after a few months I give it a thumbs up. Reflecting on what is probably 10 years of drawing on and off, and only *really* trying to improve over the last year or so, I hope my art straddles the cute and erotic in a way that is visually appealing, with plenty of soft features, roundness and a nice vibe to it.

I'm quite critical of myself, and I always seek to improve and take constructive feedback from people. Over the years I think I've developed quite a unique style linked to what I find interesting (and perhaps a following to boot?) with the way I mix TF themes into weight gain. I love a more detailed and heavy feel to fat deposits and I will continue to strive to master a warm softness and inviting heft to the way I draw fat. One day I'll get there!

Technically, I look really amateur compared to lots of artists, so improving anatomy, more expressive faces & poses, better shading and colouring are all things I want to take further and further. It's going to take a mix of practice, experimentation and dedicated studying to get where I want to get to with this.

I would personally prefer it to be localised or endemic, at least at first, just to watch people outside of the fat-obsessed gaining masses go nuts over the sudden quasi-religious followers of gluttony explode their waistlines and flip every societal bodily norm on its head.

I would hit that button, even if it were just to start the religion of fats, worshipping the pursuit of divine immobility. I'd watch with delight as the gym nuts and fat-phobes convert to the cause and follow their deepest urges to become gluttonous zealots and spread further the butter-soaked word of blubber.

I like the idea of extreme fat still being seen as rare and exciting, different but also deeply sensual. If everybody was fat... fat fetishism would probably be the sole haunt of hyper blob enthusiasts! I think the contrast with skinny people is still very enjoyable, so would we'd still need a few sticking around... even if they are just the skinny ones who haven't embarked on their own obesity-glorifying weight gain journeys yet.

ryoxxl:

The extreme transformation element for sure! You are essentially changing your entire appearance with insane amounts of fat onto a tiny human frame. It's such an incredible contrast to gain weight to become a giant, soft ocean of hyper blob, especially if it was your deliberate intention. It's wild that so many of us crave and fantasise about this despite it's mobility and lifestyle shortcomings (obvious impossible health issues notwithstanding).

I think it's hot to imagine completely surrendering your physical reality to a fetish and following your darkest urges to their ultimate conclusion. I also think becoming immobile & utterly dependent on your fans or feeders is a sexy & super submissive role to play. The mutual sexual gratification between feeders and feedees is sooo hot.

I also love how hyper fat looks. Immobile bodies, at least in fantasy art, are crazy soft, pillowy, blobby... and shapeless. It renders you completely unrecognizable, and for some of us that term "unrecognisable" is crazy sexy by itself. If I was hooked up to a funnel and somebody said it was their plan to get me that enormously fat I would squeal 🐽💗!

ryoxxl:

I can get by quite well with my French and German. I studied French to the point where you start reading foreign language literature, but I am very rusty now and Parisian would rip me to shreds. My Spanish is elementary, but I really want to learn it properly... I feel Spanish speakers are more appreciative of BBW and curvy women in general 🎉

ryoxxl:

Consensus says:
Ayeka + Hippo = Ayekippo
Mihoshi + Giraffe = Mihoshiraffe

The others that i think could work!(?)
Kiyone + Zebra = Kiyonebra
Washu + Leopard = Washu (as a Leopard, she wouldn’t want the silly portmanteau name)

I am SUPER into turning into pigs. It was really my first fetish, if you can believe it. Pig TF and putting pig snouts on people was literally all I drew as a kid haha. Being so into huge bazongas as I grew up I guess cows distracted me over the years, what with their associated WGTF traits… but pigs are really where it’s at for FAT.

Gaining weight as fast as possible and being called a big, greedy piggy whilst on all fours eating with no regard to manners or shame is probably THE most erotic sensation and clearly the one most aligned with feederism and weight gain as a fetish. There really is no other animal-TF that compares when it comes to unbridled gluttony.

A long while back I drew a sequence where I turned Ryoko into a huge hyper pig blob: it was one of the first times I really began to experiment with her as the ideal WGTF subject. It was *really* hot to draw and even though Ryoko makes a smoking hot rhino, her transformation into a pig still gets a lot of attention. Whether it’s Ryoko as the subject or not, a good, sloppy, sensual, sultry and deeply erotic descent of a girl into an enormous insatiable fat pig has GOT to happen. 💗🐽💖🐖💗. Like, whoever asked this feel free to jump into my DMs to help ideate this new WGTF sequence with me!
