Munchies:
Honestly it depends. If you can reverse your liver damage, then you might be able to gain carefully once that's fixed. But if your situation isn't reversible, you might not be able to do it.

Bubbingscrubbles:
How do you reckon one goes about reversing liver damage?

Sir Neapolitan:
Cheers for this!! Am not super familiar with Ao3 so this is a huge help. No issue with the Y/N omega stuff and the person who I had this in mind regarding is Bi, but there's still plenty to go through just with the het stuff. Thank you again for putting together!

Kissasta:
So apparently the manga Plus Sized Elf by Synedoche is getting an anime adaptation this year. I'm pretty excited, especially after another favorite anime of mine, Delicious in Dungeon, also got its adaptation this year!



If youre not aware, Plus Sized Elf is a comic about an elf coming from a fantasy world after getting kicked out for getting chubby off our world's junk foods, namely french fries. Shes suppose to burn it off to be able to return to her duties and seeks help from a local spa/fitness clinic for help with fixing her life style. What follows is a cheeky, a little naughty and really funny story with plenty of fat and chubby characters, weight gain, and various antics. The manga does give some pretty good lifestyle advice, but it still has a large focus on very FA centric characters and plots. I highly recommend the manga (either the original run or the new one "Second Helping" and just wanted to bring this to the attention of folks here since its a legit fun series thats going mainstream and depicting fat in a rather sexy/positive way.

Any thoughts on the series from yall?

The Augmentor:
OK, so I've uploaded another track, just 30 seconds long: what an updated Munchies theme song might sound like (the cartoon PSA, not the FF user...sorry, Munchies). I really like the result, but it took me hours and hours just to get that 30 seconds.

It's a little bit like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. With each iteration, the song changes a little...mess with it too much, and it quickly becomes unrecognizable. You almost have to get it right on the first or second try.

Bubbingscrubbles:
Anyone have any advice on gaining with fatty liver disease? I got all the way up to 361 but it got to a point where my liver was not a fan of my eating habits, and am currently trying to take it easy and have lost 6 pounds.

Thank you!

That's like Puritan level thought policing.

Munchies:
How so?

Letters And Numbers:
It seems like you’re trolling.

Munchies:
There's nothing wrong with having sexual fantasies - even if they are unusual ones. But like ... consent is sexy. And if you don't have their consent, then maybe don't sexualize them.

Greentrees8733:
Totally understandable that the experience you described would feel violating.

I’m just not convinced fantasizing about others constitutes a violation of consent. I’m willing to be convinced otherwise, but here’s my take, featuring good ol’ Alice and Bob:

Alice’s thoughts about Bob are not actually Bob. Bob himself isn’t actually involved in Alice’s private thoughts about Bob, so there’s nothing for him to consent to (or not). Alice’s thoughts (about anything) are part of Alice. As an autonomous person, I would think Alice is the only one with any say over her own private thoughts.

Put another way, I don’t think fantasizing about guys as a teenager makes you “guilty” of anything. I just don’t see how private thoughts have any moral weight. Like, what harm did you do, or risk doing?

Sharing them is different, though. Sharing impacts others, so their consent is relevant. But that’s kind of OT for this reply.

Side note: OP does say “I couldn’t keep my eyes off her” which (given the voyeuristic style of the post) kinda sounds like an inappropriate/potentially violating amount of staring, but that’s a separate issue from fantasizing being a violation of consent.

Munchies:
As a man thinks, so does he do.

I'm not saying fantasizing about people means you're going to actually do the thing. But it does color what you do in reality. The extent depends on what you conciously check yourself on, but it's never 100%.

Like, if a woman's boss fantasizes about her sexually, or a woman fantasizes about her best friend's husband, can we say it's not going to color their interactions with the object of their desire?

Remember, the issue isn't the kinks so much as the object of your desires.

Nok:
I don't think that's what she meant (Munchies, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)

At least, the way I read it is not that it's immoral, so much as potentially damaging to your behavior with people. Like, fantasizing about someone doesn't make you a bad person, but it's good to remember that it can and likely will color your interactions with that person (or generic group of people). The mind is recursive - what you think affects how you think.

BigBallBellyGirl:
Agreed. Somewhere outside of the fantasy of endless, hard core gaining is a reality where most of us live. I consumed well over 22,000 calories Tuesday, and those into hard-core gaining would consider that "hot". So do I. I am turned on by the internal sensation of fullness, the swelling/bloating, and stepping on the scale to see the numbers climb. Realistically though, I know where doing that every day leads, because I did it for months at a time. I put on 200 pounds in 13 months. And there's not a world in which that could continue without completely losing independence and mobility. I don't want to get married in December from my bed or give up our honeymoon (which will already present special considerations). It doesn't mean I'm rebelling against this community by not wanting to blow up endlessly. It means that my "fat reality" is now how to keep the weight on but not get much bigger, how to stay active enough that I take some pressure off my knees and back, and what accommodations are necessary for an ambulatory supersized life. I can't talk about that with people outside this community, because honestly, I don't know any other 500 lb people in real life. My fiance has done his own research and built his own knowledge because we have a partnership, but he's 180 lb. This isn't his personal physical reality. And even though my doctor is not fat phobic or dismissive of symptoms, she will point to my size and eating habits as the causes of my blood pressure going up, shortness of breath, and knee issues, because, well, they are. I knew that when I was stuffing myself to oblivion, gaining 10 lb a week. So yes, I appreciate those who recognize maintaining is a part of the conversation, and a part of fat life, too!
