PLEASE NOTE: This Drive and this webpage are rated PG and is safe-for-work. However, they do revolve around the odd theme of animals getting fatter in a purely fictional art context.

Welcome!
We were doing a Weight Gain Drive with help from the artist Fluffs!
This was a multi-week donation-funded art sequence where $1 = 1 pound of weight (then 1.5x lbs!) added to my characters!
This event was largely centered around my streaming, so check me out here! https://www.twitch.tv/charemplaysgames

~ How to Donate to the Drive ~
Donations are now closed! You are always free to donate to support me,
but donations will not be going to this Drive any longer.
Donating to the Weight Gain Drive is simple!
1. Go to https://streamlabs.com/charemplaysgames
2. Donate at least $1 USD. Every dollar is another pound of weight gain for the drive!
3. Make sure to include "Weight Gain Drive" or "WG Drive" in the donation message for your donation to count!
4. (Optional) Include your Twitch or Discord ID in your message to be contacted if you are a Top Donator.
(See "Perks & Milestones" below.)
~ Perks & Milestones ~
There are multiple rewards and achievements with this Weight Gain Drive!
Top Donator Perk: Each Update image will also include the Top Donator for that image's donation period! (That is the person who donated the most during that period.) The Top Donator will be contacted by one of my staff at the start of a drawing week and asked for their character details, and how they would like their character to interact with my character in the upcoming image.
Please respond to this contact by the end of that week's Tuesday, or you will be passed over. Fluffs only has so much time to draw each picture!
(For fairness, every image will have a different Top Donator. If the same person achieves Top Donator for multiple images, the second-place Top Donator will be selected instead after the first image. This process will also be used if the Top Donator takes too long to respond to contact.)
$1000 Milestone: (Unlocked!) At $1000 in total donations, a new object will be added to the following Update image...
It may affect my character in some interesting way! For as long as it lasts...
$2000 Milestone: (Unlocked!) At $2000 in total donations, a special guest joins...and possibly gains some weight as well!
$3000 Milestone: (Unlocked!) At $3000 in total donations, a bonus picture will be drawn after the Drive is over! This one will star someone who got neglected...but now gets a chance at the limelight!
(New) ~ A Disclaimer About Post-Goal Donations ~ (New)
We have reached $3000 at just the halfway point of the Drive! Thank you, everyone! You're seriously amazing!
While $3000 was our goal, this was just our measured estimate as to how well the WG Drive could potentially succeed. It's impossible to figure out for sure what the 'ultimate goal' for a fundraiser like this should be, since it all depends on a group effort to achieve. For something like this, it's the best feeling in the world when your goal ends up being more conservative than it needed to be. :)
But due to this unprecedented success, we do need to enact one change for the final weeks of the drive. Due to Fluff's own preferences in fatfurs and given he feels to be the limit of his artistic abilities, Week 5 is the final week in which donations will go to increase Charem's weight in the picture, which will thus be capping out in Update 3. Again, it's an AMAZING thing that we reached this far, but Fluffs is not a total-blob-fur artist and there does need to be a limit applied somewhere as such.
But don't fret! Your further donations will not at all be wasted, they'll just be redirected!
Since the $2000 Milestone has been achieved, a special guest will be joining in Update 3. While they will be purely spectating the results of my fattening for that image, they will end up being the new focus for fattening in the final Update 4! All Week 6 and 7 donations will be going to fattening up this special guest! (The in-image weight tracker will be listing both Charem's and the Guest's weights, so you can still keep easy track of the progress!)
What's more, we also have further perks now being added to the list: Stretch Goals! Check the next section for the details on these!
(New) ~ Stretch Goals! ~ (New)
Stretch Goals are the appropriately-named evolution of our previous Milestones! Much like the Milestones, these are additional perks and events that will happen upon achieving certain goal numbers - in this case, numbers past $3000!
$4000 Stretch Goal: (Unlocked!) Following the moment $4000 in total donations is achieved, all further donations will be worth 1.5x lbs! (Example: if you donate $10, that will be worth 15 lbs with the multiplier.) This will allow the special guest to potentially catch up to Charem's weight, or at least allow them to more-easily get a GOOD deal fat, in the final push of the Drive! (PLEASE NOTE: This goal has been modified! It will now start IMMEDIATELY applying for every dollar past $4000 donated! This is so your donations can have the maximum effect the moment this Stretch Goal is hit.)
$5000 Stretch Goal: (Unlocked!) Another bonus picture, an additional Epilogue Image, will be drawn following the stream. This will let us find out what happens after this episode of A Whale of a Time ends, and what happens to the contestants!
$6000 Stretch Goal: (Unlocked!) One more bonus picture will be drawn following the stream if you're all crazy enough to reach this stretch goal! You could argue that hitting this goal would be almost fantastical...so it's appropriate that this picture will be a rather fantastical depiction of Charem and the special guest in a bonus new environment! (Did someone say 'kaiju'?)
$7000 SUPER-EXTRA Stretch Goal: (Unlocked!) Due to the OTHERWORLDLY levels of support to this Drive, a $7000 stretch goal bonus image has been (hastily) added! No details as to what this might become yet, but it will surely be fatty and fun!
...Also, since there are now multiple bonus images to unlock, for the sake of better keeping track of things, I have given them all placeholder images and Locked/Unlocked statuses in the Gallery section, below!

Update 0 (120 lbs)
Ruffer is the host of 'A Whale of a Time', BloaTV's most popular show! Today's episode features the new contestant of Charem the Shadox, who doesn't seem quite aware* of what he's getting himself into as Ruffer addresses the live studio audience and the live camera-feed alike.
Ruffer gives a casual yet rather-demonstrative pat and squish to the Shadox's pleasantly-plump gut as he explains to viewers just what this bad boy can fit. The energetic spiel should certainly be giving Charem a few warning signs, but dogs aren't always the best at picking up on cues...
Plus, the pup is just trying to pose cute for the cameras as he was instructed to~
*Contestants have signed all 43 forms and waivers and are thus held personally responsible regarding acknowledgement of the ramifications of participation. BloaTV is not held responsible in the event of any undesirable circumstances, results, and/or the permanent loss of mobility.
Update 1 (1264 lbs)
The first results are in! Charem polled extremely-well for the show's first segment. An extra-wide feeding tube, connected to a giant vat of soft-serve ice cream, was promptly muzzled to the confused dog's snout. An industrial-grade pump sent the entire vat quite quickly down Charem's greedy gullet!
What a speedy feeding, folks!
...Unfortunately, the sheer speed of this gain has damaged AWoaT's standard weighing scale. This isn't the first time this has happened, so Ruffer has called in Official Heavy Equipment Operator ~TheCrimsonOne~ to hoist the big dog up with the show's titanium-grade ultra-reinforced forklift. Thanks Crimson!
A replacement scale will be out shortly! In the meantime, the suspended Shadox has a moment to come to terms with his new size... He better hurry up with that though; as regular viewers should know, the show's just beginning!
Update 2 (1696 lbs)
To assist with the next bloatening phase, Ruffer elects to call in a reliable catering service. While "Lucy's Bakery" is not directly affiliated with BloaTV, their cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, candies, and other assorted high-caloric decadences have been utilized to GREAT effect many times on the show.
Bakery owner ~Lucius the Lurido~ elected to personally deliver the large custom order, alongside his peppy and reliable assistant, ~Alex the Charmander~. The treat-laden carts they wheeled in quickly perked up the stuffed dog whose maw it was all meant for. The order WAS custom, after all...and much of it integrated BACON into the usual recipes. Something a dog, no matter how full, cannot resist!
The bakery workers, enamored by the thought of growing the purple mountain, elected to personally feed Charem, crowding in on the plush pup and giving him plenty of pets and scritches along his softening frame as they stuffed that snout with bacony-goodness from both sides~ (In this case, bacon-bits cookies!)
...And, seeing as he didn't need to personally get his workers involved, Ruffer elects to take a bit of a snack break of his own... Him taking just a few things off the loaded carts wouldn't be a problem right? ...Look, he was a canine too, cut him a break! The smell of all this bacon had made his belly needy...
Update 3 (Charem: 3327 lbs) (Tucker: 55 lbs)
What a truly-tremendous turn of events! The next segment of the show was almost a blur for the growing Shadox, as audience reception spiked higher and higher the bigger and bigger his body grew. Already eased into a feeding stupor by now, he simply relaxed and gulped down whatever ended up being directed to his chops, cascading it all down into his huge gut, careless even to his collar snapping off at some random point from his thickening neck... Soon, the purple dog had filled a great deal of the audibly-creaking stage. Charem had gotten so much 'nutritional support', he'd become one of the show's largest contestants to date!
Host Ruffer excused himself from the stage while the obese Shadox reclined atop his own bed of a belly. Charem was big enough; Ruffer knew it was time to do a rare thing on an episode of A Whale of a Time: summoning a second contestant!
Ruffer tasked the show's Security Officer, ~Iver~, to pick out somebody else from the audience. The feral Rockruff took his duty seriously and, smartly figuring another fat puppo would pair up nice next to the mountainous Shadox, soon escorted/encouraged/tummy-nudged ~Tucker~ the Poochyena onto the stage.
...Tucker seemed to have trepidation about being on stage. Perhaps shy to be in front of a crowd?...or intimidated imagining himself ending up like the Shadox?
...Charem gave a lazy glance back at the Pooch, murmuring a fatty purr towards the new contestant. The Shadox was certainly eager to see where this would go...
Update 4 (Charem: 3327 lbs) (Tucker: 5169 lbs)
Tucker struggled to take in the sheer size of the Shadox shadowing over him, not to mention simply enduring his natural stage fright! Why, the little Poochyena looked about ready to leave the show before he'd even participated...
Ruffer, having returned after his mysterious break, had already anticipated such a reaction from the new contestant. Standing next to a purple mountain, and imagining becoming the same, can be pretty intimidating after all... Ruffer had thus not come back alone; he'd actually stepped just outside the studio to recruit his secret 'weapon'...
A food cart was pushed up onto the stage, its squeaky wheels distracting the nervous Tucker. He looked back, his nose twitching involuntarily as it detected the scent of greasy, juicy meats and sizzling fries...! Iver HAD picked well, as Ruffer knew the security officer would; Tucker was another canine, as expected. As desired. As of course, no canine could resist Nano's Meats and Savories...
Another Shadox, grey-furred and deceptively-lean despite their role, poked their head out from around the cart. ~Nano~, proprietor of their namesake, operated their food cart outside of BloaTV's offices on a regular basis. While normally just serving delicious, if sinfully-caloric meals to the staff on their lunch breaks, the real money in setting up here was the special calls by exactly this show, now and again. Whenever A Whale of a Time needed somebody fattened BIG, and FAST, Nano was ready to provide.
The unassumingly-sized food cart was merely the staging point for cooking. Off-camera, there was tremendous mount of stock - refrigerated meats and fries and...that was it, really~ What else was needed?~ Nano was known for their meat skewers, grilling and marinating and BBQ'ing beef and chicken and pork in all varieties of ways, with a sloppy helping of fries on the side of every dish of course~
Already Tucker had approached the cart, the Pooch's thoughts all but erased in lieu of focusing on those juicy meats... Bacon cookies had been an excitement-inducing treat some scene before, but even that paled in comparison to the pure carnivorous bliss on display... Nano grinned ear to ear as they gave the Poochyena a pat on the head, quickly hiking up onto their hind-paws to artfully collect the currently-cooked batch of foods. The Shadox's odd coiled tail assisted in this activity, almost-prehensile in its nature as it collected, flipped, and presented the juicy, greasy delights down to Tucker, prepping more foods to sizzle while simultaneously (and quite insistently) feeding his customer.
The Poochyena started his meal a bit daintily even so, even bothering to chew a bit... But he soon noticed that the foods were so fresh and greasy that they slickly slipped right down his hungry throat with nary an effort! Tucker elected to simply let the food follow this path of no resistance, which was all the easier as Nano's paw shoved one thing after another in there...
The swirl of different meats all flowed into a savory stupor for the Dark-type, who fell into darkness on all other thoughts aside from consumption... What a good boy~ Nano had at first needed to reach down to feed the pupper, but more and more did Tucker grow and plumpen...causing Nano to simply reach across at his own height before long. ...And before much longer, Nano was reaching UP to feed the ever-increasing mound of Pooch, who somehow seemed to only grow faster the bigger he got!...
All the while, the poor mountain of purple-Shadox was left off to the side, whimpering and wriggling obesely atop his immobilizing gut. He could smell all that delicious food too...and with some real effort, he could even squish and crane his blubbery next around to watch the scene behind him. Charem was MORE than envious of the little Dark-type...though that envy grew into fascination, then intimidation, as the little dog became not-so-little anymore.
Soon enough, Tucker had matched Charem's size...but Nano had yet more meats to feed, and Tucker was LIVING for them now! The Poochyena had smartly elected to lie down and lean a bit as he got bigger. He was more immobile than the original contestant now, but also delightfully-well-positioned for his feeding host to continuously reach his panting, wheezing, starving chops~ Not that Nano would have had any trouble clambering up the many fatty folds inlaid throughout the squishy Poochyena regardless, but it surely sped up the consumption rate~
...The stage began to creak as Tucker shot past Charem's weight in spades, his otherworldly-sized gut casually blobbing off the side of the once-large-seeming platform. The Dark-type's weight was so massive that his gut even scooted the now-dwarfed Charem around, pushing the overindulged Shadox off the platform a bit too! Really, this was...probably a good place to call the event, right? The show was...certainly at a conclusion now. Host, would you...like to end the episode...?
...Ruffer was easy to miss, a small canine amongst a sea of larger canid flab... It would seem the mildly-corrupt host had once again selfishly skimmed a bit off the top of the show's budget, and had indulged on the food cart's offerings himself. He'd fallen partly behind the cart now, his tumby fatter than before. It's likely he'd entered a food coma, his senses too overwhelmed by the powerful scents of meat and grease to continue feeding himself. Such a shame he was the host, and not a contestant, or perhaps he would have some further feeding assistance...
...Ah. Well, if the host is incapacitated, um...
Cut? ...Cut?

'Cut!' was eventually called for the end of that supremely-expanding episode of A Whale of a Time. After the cameras stopped rolling and the live studio audience was eventually escorted out (once they were encouraged to stop taking so many pictures of the scene on their phones, of course), the crew immediately busied themselves on figuring out how to move not one, but two massive mountains of blubber that were once doggos off of the stage and away from the studio...
It was all such a task that nobody had noticed host Ruffer sneaking away once he'd awoken from his sneaky little post-gorging nap. To be fair, the host's job was done...and while it wasn't exactly to policy how he had pilfered from the contestants' food all during the show, he was still, comparatively, much smaller and much-less-noticable than the dogs the camera focused upon. Ironically due to this, he could certainly get away with the casual thievery of company resources while on set and in front of the cameras, and had likely done so on previous episodes as well.
Perhaps that's why he had snuck away, emboldened a bit too far by his past successes. Yes, yes; he might be the HOST of A Whale of a Time, but goodness, watching so many furry participants get all fattened up certainly built up his own appetite, and maybe a bit of jealousy too. His snackings during the episode helped this slightly, but he still felt his hunger growing all the time. And this time...no, he didn't really feel sated, this time.
Ruffer kept a very low profile - or as low as his gurgling gut would allow - as he slipped into the locked storeroom which held...predictably, even more food. Specifically non-perishables, ordinary but reliable snacks that could be delivered at a moment's notice during an episode, in case fresher and more-exciting foods could not be brought out.
Ordinary didn't mean bad, of course. Ruffer jostled open a crate with a generic 'cookies' label. Yes, this whole crate of cookies would do...perfectly~ He sure did love the bacon cookies from earlier, but that was more...savory a snack. Now, he wanted a good 'dessert' after the show...and what's better for dessert than chocolate-chip cookies?
The fatty Rockruff monch, monch, monched away on the sweet little discs, package after package nomfed into his maw. He was forced to feel around for each next box in the crate, the storeroom quite dark as he had elected to keep the lights off, but this was fine. As was it fine that he likely spread around crumbs everywhere as he aggressively chomped away at his snacks; he couldn't see them, after all, so what did it matter?
The dark cooking-binging would likely have gone unabated to the very end of the cookie-crammed crate. That was how Ruffer had imagined it. What use would anybody have in entering the food storage room AFTER the show ended that day, after all?
Of course, that was the moment the emergency exit door - a door he'd not thought to keep an eye on - swung open from the outside. A harried-looking fluffer, one of the many staff who helped coordinate the removal of contestants from the show, looked around tensely. "Of course the tools warehouse doesn't have 'em..." the frazzled employee half-mumbled, half-ranted aloud. He perked up a fair bit more as he saw the back of Ruffer. "Oy! Host! Have you seen any ratchet straps around here? ...Wait, why are you here anyways?"
Ruffer froze mid-cookie-nibble, swinging his head around with a dumb expression...before, far too late, slurping the cookie out of view and into his snout. Not that the one would matter. The outside-light entered through the door in a line that Ruffer was directly in the center of, a natural spotlight being cast on him...the cookie crumbs around him...the open cookie crate...the packages of cookies littered around him...
Maybe that all could somehow be explained or smoothed-over, if it wasn't all capped off by his huge, hefty, heavy gut. The cookie-stuffed stomach called even more attention to itself as it glorped and gurgled, loudly struggling to work over the sheer mass of bready-chocolatetyness that Ruffer had practically sped down his throat. The noise echoed quite well in the high-roof storeroom, causing the frazzled employee's ears to shiver at the sound.
Looking ever-more frazzled, the poor workman blushed heartily. Perhaps he was held smitten for a moment from the scene, but his brow soon furrowed dutifully. "Heyyyy... Those are for the contestants! Ruffer...I'm gonna have to report this..."
Ruffer pouted at those words. Oh, not again. He sighed...or tried to, till it turned into a crumb-spitting belch, anyways.
Frazzled himself now, and quite upset to be caught, the Rockruff defiantly grabbed one more full cookie-box from the crate and stomped very dramatically past the worker and out the exit door, giving him a mean side-eye and mumbling, "You're lucky you're not a cookie rrrrrumblegrumble urp"
The worker stepped aside as that hefty Rockruff-gut's side squished into him, wisely realizing the host would take up most of the doorway as he stomped out. After the moody Pokemon had left the building, still stomping dramatically towards the parking lot, the worker merely sighed. He pulled out a walkie-talkie, pressing the button and dutifully letting the rest of the staff - including the showrunners, for that matter - of Ruffer's flagrant theft of company resources. It was an open-and-shut case for sure, given Ruffer had also stomped right past the exit door's security camera with that hefty gut.
As he put the walkie-talkie back away, the worker paused in confusion, finally processing the host's weird threat to him. "...I don't look anything like a cookie, though. Or...do I? Maybe a little like a chocolate cookie with white chocolate chips... Hmm. Mmm." he mumbled aloud, still not quite getting it. He shrugged, returning to task and entering the warehouse to look for that jack...
...Though passing the scene of the crime, the worker hesitated...before taking the last cookie in the last tray Ruffer had abandoned, quickly munching it down with a thought. I mean...it'd just be thrown away at this point, right? "Mmm... No...yeah. I wouldn't taste anything like that cookie. Man, Ruffer is weird..." He idly adjusted his tie, his tail now waggling thanks to the 'free' cookie. A self-reward for his dutiful call-in! ...He was sure nobody would mind~

Ruffer sighed with a weighty groan as he waddled out of the BloaTV storage warehouse, his belly doing its own groans as it churned greedily around its cookie-contents. But Ruffer's groan was not nearly as happy as his gut's. He had been caught after all, and if he was unlucky...
'Vrrrr!' His tail vibrated. He reached into the fluffy appendage, pulling out his cell phone from where he always kept it. (What? He doesn't have pockets.) Tapping it on, he saw the text from the Boss, the Head Honcho of the business... 'Theft of company property? Not enough of a loss that we'll press charges, but it's all on security feed. You're fired.' Yuuuup. Ruffer expected this. It wasn't the first time his appetite had removed him from a job...ironic, then, that it removed him from a job all about eating this time.
The well-engorged dog looked up. His frustratration had made him wander right over to the garage and parking side of the company lot, and there was quite a beefy semi truck idling in one of the exit lanes. Even despite its size, Ruffer could swear he heard its metal flatbed creaking a little bit...and understandably-so. On the back of it, tied down securely, was Tucker the Poochyena. Charem the Shadox sat (or perhaps, flabbily-oozed) on the grass nearby, with a couple workers standing in-between. They seemed to be working out how to load the second doggo-blob onto the truck... Perhaps, stacking? And with a LOT more ratchet straps? The two over-obesified canines seemed all too out of it to complain, regardless; still lost in their food comas, their body's energy undoubtedly still working to digest rather than think.
Ruffer thought for a moment. It was a semi-common occurance after an episode of A Whale of a Time; the larger contestants would have to be rolled out the large semi-garage entrance, and put on a semi-truck to who-knows-where. Their home? They likely wouldn't fit inside anymore. A public attraction site? More likely. Maybe as props for some monster movie? That'd save a lot in special effects... The Rockruff never really thought about it too much during his stint working there. But he had paid enough attention to know that these two blobbo-doggos surely had reached a record-size for the show...
Not that it did his ex-job any good.
Ruffer looked down at his phone once more, switching to another texting window and typing to his Cutie, venting a bit of his frustrations to his understanding mate. Well, he didn't know where those two blobs were going, but he knew HE was going home, at least...
And to a good big lunch, to be sure~ Eating all those cookies HAD worked up an appetite...

After the larger-than-life duo of doggies left BloaTV's lot, it was just the start of their fame. From brand deals with caloric-stuffed food brands, to late-night TV show appearances (at least for those shows with...larger stages), both Pokemon had gained casual TV-stardom, and captured the hearts of many.
But then the movie deal came. ...They had both begun to slim up a tad over the months, but of course, they were still far too incapable of anything terribly athletic or...significantly-mobile, for that matter. It didn't matter to Strange Beasts Productions, though. The studio was well-known for making monster movies, especially those larger-than-life kaiju movies. They only used CGI for touch-ups, preferring the raw energy of practical effects, miniature sets, and the like. This included actors in suits...and the pair of overfed doggos had truly MONSTEROUS proportions, making them perfect for the part of their latest kaiju-duel movie!
The studio had thought they could manage to shove them into a couple of XXXXXXXXXXETC-Large costumes, but the canids could not be contained! But all the better, all the more beastial, unbelievable, and overwhelming! The effects department was a bit stretched for cash having spent most of it on the custom suits, so a bit of DIY cost-effective redesigning was required... Nothing some spray-painted and well-positioned pieces of cardboard couldn't solve. A few fake horns, claws, crags and spikes...that would work, as the two dogs already delivered most of the kaiju energy all by themselves!
All that was needed was to place them on the miniature (and very-destructible) metropolis set, and let them do their worst... The pair were eager to wobble, wriggle, and stomp about the set! Their massive floof-tails swept cars and buses into the air, their padded paws squooshed little clay figures running about on the sidewalks, and their rolling waves of flab crashed upon and cracked and crumbled building after building.
What horror! What destruction! What...adorable rawrs!
...Well... Those could be made more scary-sounding in post.
(Viewer exercise: What would these two's kaiju names be? I couldn't think of anything good enough to put into the story, but I'd love to hear your ideas!)

Click, clack, tap. Aspen's padded digits smooshed down the keyboard keys in a rapid procession, finishing up another line of a spreadsheet. He blinked slowly, his eyes burning a bit from staring at the monitor so long.
The office was dark; it was well-after normal work hours now. Aspen preferred to stay late, though. He was happy to have this job, to be able to financially support himself like any adult human could. He used to be one. No...he still was one, he strongly felt, despite the...inconveniences that he'd gone through. That's why he dressed as human as he could, and held work, and acted mature and professional... As...much as he could.
...But. It was...easier to work during the less-busy hours. Other humans could...heckle him a lot, and that included his co-workers. Some misguidedly mistook him for somebody bringing their pet to work, and treated him like a common Leafeon. Others treated him with more dignity, but couldn't help but crack some jokes at his body. Still others picked on him for his weight...something he had trouble controlling, especially with his less-than-desired Leafeon instincts...
His weight, yes... The Leafeon reached over to the open pizza box, grabbing another slice as he paused his work, but still lazily stared over his monitor. He tried to manage it, but there was always such a hunger... If he didn't eat enough, he couldn't control the feral mood, and would binge... But eating 'enough' would constantly make him fatter... He'd have to exercise enough just to balance it out. He'd been working on this as well as he could for the last year or so, when he'd started working at this office... He didn't want to deal with the fat jokes and the snarky offers of Pokemon treats at this job
But more than that, he didn't want to lose this job like he had the others... Because it was hard to convince your employer you were a worthwhile employee if you turned into a feral Pokemon and romped around the office raiding everyone's lunchboxes. He couldn't...do that again. He was a proper human...he'd show them all that. He needed to prove that, each and every day, despite his form...
Gulp. He swallowed down the crust of the pizza slice, feeling a momentary release from his tension as it tumbled down his fat throat. Aspen's eyes hazed over, unable to focus further on the screen as he reached for the final pizza slice in the box, mmmhph'ing as it also slid into his drooling snout, and down his greasy throat...
Riiiip. Another portion of his shirt tore apart as more pizza plopped into his growing gut... His pants straining with another imminent tear in them too. The human clothes would not hold much longer...nor would his human mind.
...Despite his concerns, he had already been lost to his hunger hours ago. Working away on his mind-numbing work, he had failed to notice him succumbing to his weaknesses. He had ordered one pizza after another to the office that evening, hazily forgetting he'd already eaten the moment each pizza had been fully stuffed into his gut. Not even noticing as his fatty body strained against, then slowly defeated, his clothes.
Yes, working late, alone, let Aspen avoid ridicule and judgement. But it also left him too isolated to notice as his humanity slipped away, replaced by the feral hungry Leafy he really was inside...
The hungry Leafeon could only discern the glow of the screen now, a hypnotic light that only seemed to encourage him on his need to stuff his snout. Slowly he half-slid, half-fell out of his chair as he lost the knowledge of sitting so upright, his gut squishing well-into the carpeted office floor as he stood properly on all fours. His nose sniffed about, soon aiming towards the company's food-stocked break room...
...Given the hour, no employees would see him roaming around like a hungry animal this time. But as such, there was also nobody around to stop him from scarfing down anything edible he could find... And he'd surely be discovered come morning shift, happily passed out and cuddling against his overstuffed tum in whatever executive room had the nicest throw rug to sleep on.
Poor, poor Aspen. It is tricky to hold a job when you're a 'starving' Leafeon, isn't it?

Did you know that I have a Merch Store? I do! Check out my storefront right here...

I have all sorts of fun things there, but I am adding even more merch as this drive goes on! Every image created for the WG Drive is being implemented in at least one piece of new merch! Check out the storefront after each image releases to see what's new!
~ About the Artist ~
Fluffs is the artist helming this Weight Gain Drive! He's a smug pupper with lots of talent in drawing cute fatty creatures.
He's helped out before with Charem's content, making emotes, Rox images (remember those?), as well as some awesome thumbnail art for the Hey You, Pikachu! video series.
He's a good bean, and happy to help make this Drive a success!
~ Disclaimers ~
- Donations are not refundable.
- This is a PG event. Donation messages, and interactions to and regarding the drive, are to be kept clean.
- This is a Weight Gain event featuring only the gain of soft pounds via normal(ish) foods in a fictional medium. There is no vore involved with this event. Such a theme may be considered for a future event, but this event is purely fatfur WG, no vore.
- Uneven drive donations are allowed, but will always be rounded down to determine the added pounds. (Example: $5.67 = 5 lbs.) Multiple donations will be rounded down individually; if you want them to add together, please donate them as one donation.
- A Drive week begins at the very start of that week's Sunday (12:01 AM), and ends at the very end of that week's Saturday (11:59 PM). Times are determined in EST. I'm not using 12:00 AM as a transition time because there is always confusion what day that time falls on.
- Donation counts will be totaled privately after the end of weeks 1, 3, 5, and 7. This will both determine the current donation total to be added to the coming Update image's bar, as well as find the Top Donator.
- Top Donators are only allowed to be in one image. If an individual earns Top Donator for more than one image, they will only appear in the first image; all subsequent images will feature the second-place Top Donators.
- If a Top Donator does not provide contact information or does not wish to be in an image, this reward will be offered to the second-place Top Donator, then third-place Top Donator, etc.
- In the event that all the 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd place Top Donators did not wish to be in the picture, did not provide contact information, and/or did not respond quickly enough, we will pick somebody at my/Fluff's own discretion to be in the picture.
- Please note: If a Top Donator takes too long to respond to contact (specifically, after the end of that week's Tuesday), they will be passed over for the next in line. We have a limited amount of time to draw each picture before the drive continues, so please be efficient in responding if you want to be in it.
- Remember: This is not a competition, just a fun fundraiser. Donate only if you feel like, and only how much you feel like.
Only spend what you can afford.
- On the rare circumstance that an Update image cannot be finished during its drawing week (for instance, Fluffs becomes sick), the Drive will pause for an extra week to give Fluffs time to catch up. If this happens, you are still allowed to donate during the extra week for the following Update image; it simply means there is an extra week's time before the next image is drawn.
Update (7/2/2023): In the event of more than one person tying for Top Donator, I will do a dice roll live on my next stream to determine the winner.
