Woah, as expected from a lore expert, I really like your new OCs 馃グ馃
Question for Charlie & David, what characters have they cosplayed at the con (or cons) and what are people's reaction??
Personally I'm curious bcs I myself never see cosplayer best friends with such body contrast, so this is a fresh new one 馃槏
Oh it's a whole spectacle every time they go to conventions for sure.
It's pretty much the only time David ever leaves his apartment. During conventions is when he finds the best opportunities of finding rare collecting cards at great prices or meeting popular people involved in his biggest passions, so it's a must visit every time there's one in their city.
There doesn't exist any cosplay costumes for someone like him, so they have to pick characters that would be easy to portray through regular clothes, such as one time where he went as Ash Ketchum, and Charlie only had to put together the jacket.
Obviously, he gets completely drowned in stares every moment he's outside, but he doesn't really care at all, he's way too focused just on not losing his balance and trying to breathe normally while he makes his way through the con halls.
From personal experience, conventions can get super hot and humid, so unless they've had the luck of hitting an extremely well ventilated con, David's just going to be drenched from head to toe in sweat the whole time they're there. There have been occasions where he was kicked out due to dozens of people complaining of the overwhelming sweat odor filling his surroundings wherever he went, though those were during the summer.
Even if David spends the whole time panting and struggling to waddle from table to table, he finds the experience very fun and is always looking forward to visiting the next one with Charlie.
What if Kent (Sam's dad) never left to do Military services and fattened up into immobility instead??
I can see Jodi being such a clear enabler, not only for Sam but specifically for her husband. Kent probably started putting on weight as soon as he started dating her back when they were younger. A couple decades later, and he can no longer move his body under the tons of fat.
I like to think most of the weight went into his belly, just protruding multiple feet outwards and heftily resting on the floor.
Even if his situation is pretty extreme, he's far too gone, constantly begging for food, while Jodi doesn't even think of denying it to him despite the toll its taking on his body.
And for Sam, I can see him growing a bit numb to the prospect of getting fat after growing up with a dad like his, pretty much looking to end up just as big as him in the future with his worsening eating habits
Harvey's mandatory monthly weigh-ins are quite a headache for some of the residents of Pelican Town, especially Shane, he really doesn't like to be reminded of his weight going up. Then again, he really isn't that big compared to others in town.
Introducing Charlie and David, two fresh out of college nerdy roommates with very different stories but quite the same life!
I don't know how much I'll be drawing them, but I have many thoughts about them and like always when I make new OCs; please let me know whatever else you'd want to know about these two through asks and I'll gladly answer ^^!!!
