Ethan's college days

Like I mentioned in my last post, I teased the idea of bringing back Ethan from the basement by exploring his short-lived but still important college years instead of the present day where's he's amassed over 2300 pounds.

And to spice things up a little and change one of my biggest gripes with how he was written before, he won't be lonely anymore! Thanks to his new friend Aiden, his unavoidable journey into extreme obesity won't feel as isolating as it originally did.

Aiden is an energetic jock that had been paired up with Ethan to share a dorm when they started college. The large young man was hoping to get a Computer Science degree during his years in college. The leaner, healthier one, got a scholarship to hopefully become a professional athlete.

Despite their contrasting goals and personalities, a friendship sparked between the two. The at-the-time 600lbs pounds heavy Ethan was very anxious and quiet, fearing that he'd get bullied like he did in his teens for his uncontrollable weight, but Aiden was quick to let him know that he wasn't going to judge him for his size, and most importantly, tell him to be losing weight.

And maybe he should have, because this had become the point in Ethan's life where the already fast speed of his weight gain took a sky-sharp turn into an uncontrollable territory.

He had hopes that maybe this was finally the point where he'd be able to take control and maybe, lose weight for the first time in his life. Of course, that sentiment died down the very first day of living on his own, as the very first thing he did when he sat on his new dorm bed was download every fast food delivery application he could find on his phone.

Who would've thought adulthood was so liberating? With almost an endless amount of money at his disposal at all times from his parents, entire bags of fast food deliveries were practically coming in and out of the dorm every hour, every day, and it was clearly showing.

With an alarming pace of over 50 pounds of fat being gained a month, Ethan had no choice but to start adapting to the quick changes. Slower walks, more prominent waddling, constant outgrowing of clothes. It wasn't something he wasn't already used to, but it was definitely happening way faster, and he tried not thinking about it too much.

Aiden was being a witness to all of this, of course, but he didn't really know what course of action to take. He didn't know what Ethan might've been going through for him to have ended up like this. He never questioned him on it, thinking that he likely wouldn't want to talk about his size, so he tried to show him some support through other means, like cleaning up the obscene amount of food wrappers that would pile up every day in Ethan's side of the room, or...well, telling him he would bring out all the orders to him so he doesn't have to exert himself standing up and walking to the door over and over...

You see, Aiden isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed... Instead of pushing Ethan to lose weight, he was making the process of gaining it so much easier.

He would buy Ethan a new couple of shirts and pants of the next size whenever his body grew to need it without him mentioning it. He would try to find all the best combo meal deals on the fast food delivery apps Ethan frequented daily so that he could save money and enjoy more food. He convinced Ethan to take progressively shorter walks every day, worried that he wouldn't have the energy to return to their dorms, and many other things.

Aiden had a big heart, but his worry for Ethan to be comfortable was a double-edged sword, and it created the perfect environment to enable Ethan to fatten much faster.

And though Aiden didn't know that, Ethan was aware of it. But he never asked him to stop. In truth, he was both very grateful and conflicted about him. He was getting seriously way too heavy as the months went by, and Aiden's eagerness to help him be comfortable was so welcomed. He couldn't imagine what it would've been like to have been paired up with someone who was grossed out by him. He won the lottery, he thought, until of course, he realized Aiden's eagerness to help was not doing any favors to his already massive but still expanding waistline.

But deep down, he knew that sooner or later, Aiden or no Aiden, his weight would've still continued to go up, as it had always done, and he grew to really appreciate the much leaner jock in his life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for reading!

If you are curious, here's a timeline (that i hope can be read properly and not be demolished in pixels when I upload this) of the 2 years Ethan spent in college before he became too massive to attend classes or just comfortably leave his house at all:

I am still concepting Aiden as a character, but I liked the base idea of a dofus jock with a big heart who ends up enabling Ethan with his friendliness. It also makes things less dire for him, as he knows he has someone he can trust and who will still hang out with him despite his body fattening up to absurd levels.

As always, love getting asks about any OCs I'm focusing on at the time, so let me know what you think.

[ard99]

literally came back onto tumblr to send you asks about the rework of ethan's story hahah :]

does Aiden still visit Ethan after he drops out? how's their friendship when Ethan's concerningly big? plus, how's Aiden's career as an athlete?

could read your oc lore for hours (probably have already) it's so good and well written ^^

Hey, thank you!! Always appreciate the interest sm <333

To answer your question, yes! Aiden keeps close contact with Ethan after he's become housebound ^^ They actually end up becoming best friends.

After Aiden's done with his morning classes and he's not training that day, he always drives up to Ethan's house which is very close to the campus and pays him a visit.

They watch movies together or play some videogames, but more than anything Aiden just wants to check that Ethan's doing alright. He can practically see his friend's body fattening up more and more each day, and it's no secret that the pace of his weight gain keeps progressively speeding up, so he wants to make sure Ethan's dealing with it as best as he can.

Being so massive is obviously tasking and exhausting, but Aiden's presence in his life has made his outlook in life much less hopeless and sad, knowing he at least has someone like him who will always be by his side, especially as he quickly approaches the next phase in his life; immobility.

Phoenix timeline for my aa au ! Spoiler alert: he gets fat This was rlly fun to make hopefully I’ll make timelines for the other important characters in the au like Miles and Apollo

Also here’s the timeline written out to read for anyone who gaf:

COLLEGE (Pre-AA)

250lbs

Saw Miles

Naturally stocky, gaining weight from college lifestyle.

Saw Miles at the courthouse, was inspired to lose weight to become the ideal image of what a lawyer looks like in his mind.

FLEDGELING LAWYER (AA-JFA)

170lbs

Feeling for Miles

Phoenix lost a lot of weight & is now a practicing attorney where he & Miles develop feelings for each other.

DEVELOPED LAWYER 1 (TAT->)

320lbs

Dating Miles (kinda)

After Phoenix and Miles reunite (after his weird fake suicide trip) the two get closer & begin ‘dating’ whether they know it or not (they spend all their time together and being affectionate to each other but still have an underlying rivalry that prevents them from feeling like it’s official)

Phoenix started gaining his weight back after solving the DL-6 incident & getting closer with Miles, no longer seeing him as an unattainable ideal of what a lawyer should be like. Dating Miles kicked his weight gain into the next gear, as Miles is constantly getting him food which he eats with no reservations.

DEVELOPED LAWYER 2 (->AAI2)

470lbs

Dating Miles (official)

Phoenix & Miles get much closer after the events of Bridge to Turnabout & solidify their feelings for each other by officially establishing their relationship.

While dating, they both realize that they enjoy feeding/getting fed respectively. Miles feeding Phoenix becomes a regular part of their relationship and Miles’ cooking combined with Phoenix giving up his workout routine lead to his metabolism catching up with him & he begins piling on pounds very quickly.

DISBARRED (AJ:AA)

620lbs(start)-810lbs(end)

Dating Miles

After losing his license, Phoenix spends way more time at home with Miles, therefore spending much much more time eating and with losing his badge, he also loses any drive or desire to appear “professional” or “presentable” which had been holding him back from fully embracing his weight gain and he begins loving the feeling of getting bigger and bigger with every bite he takes. He falls deep into his hedonism and barely-satiable appetite and gains almost 400 pounds

REINSTATED (Post-AJ:AA)

650lbs

Dating Miles, eventually engaged to Miles

After regaining his license, Phoenix decides to lose some of his newly gained weight so that he’s able to do his job more easily. Miles lovingly yet begrudgingly assists him.

After losing a good amount of weight, Phoenix still can’t hold off his inevitable ascent to immense obesity. He’s steadily, while more slowly than when he was disbarred, still putting on weight as he can simply no longer resist the incessant urge to gorge himself any chance he gets.

RETIRED (Post-Canon)

820lbs(start)-1200+lbs(future)

After their retirement, there is no longer anything holding Phoenix back from his insatiable urge to eat without pause and bask in the feeling of growing larger and larger with each passing day, which Miles is more than overjoyed to not only facilitate, but push past what Phoenix thinks is even possible.

Not long after retirement Phoenix becomes much too large to move around normally. He still adamantly waddles wherever he needs to go but also utilizes mobility scooters and sits whenever he can. After not much time, he finally becomes immobile, staying in whatever chair or bed Miles can move him to, and can at last spend every minute of his day focusing on his own expansion, devouring whatever Miles brings him giddily, motivated by the pure ecstasy of feeling his boddy jiggle more and more with every pound he puts on and feeling his husband’s love put into every bite he takes.
