Hooooo boy I shouldn’t have found this thread
To an island far off, nigh holy maidens lay in the amazonian nation of Evolipos. An all woman society, every woman is able to both bear a child through love and bear the weight of their burgeoning bodies through the blessing of the goddess of expanse, Mazapi. To them, fat is not just a way of life or a love or even a holy blessing: it is a holy *study.* Mazapi strengthens their body and fattens their meal to let them understand fat more. The warmth it brings and the strength they gain from it. Fat practically replaces muscle as Evolipolions grow closer to Mazapi and understand fat better. Even those in the multi ton range can waddle in comfort.
Through this, they have built a sprawling capital accounting for their size. Various “schools” are dotted across the city, dedicated to furthering their study, often shaping the women who study. Those who study a certain body part may find it filling with fat faster, carrying it well. The food fans will find food all the more tasty and more filling. Gastro studies lead to gassier gals, said gas even having potent properties to the devout. Even those who study the psychological effects may have more charming words on the topic.
It is not uncommon for a Evolipolite to leave for other lands, carrying their weight to study what their weight and habits are like across the world. Awkward as they can be, they dedicate their travels to seeing how their fat forms handle different cultures and how those cultures handle their own fat. These studies further deepen one’s knowledge, bolstering their goddess’ power. By the end of a normal trip, the woman either has settled down, finding their new fat based place in life, or returned, fatter than ever and often bolstered in social standings. Visitors meanwhile are welcomed to stay, temporarily or forever. Only if they prove their devotion. If they do not, or are shown hostility in anyway, they fight with the might of a baratric barbarian, crushing foes.
Their final purpose is to crush the opposers of fat. They may respect those who do not act on it, but any who make effort to destroy fat across the world will often be met by Mazapi’s forces. Cloister strike teams of a megatonne of her troops are sent out when called upon by either Mazapi or her/Polipos’ allies, to crush those who would erase fatness or to use it in immoral ways. They protect information, overwrite blaspheming, assassinate or even war against misdemeanors. All to keep the ideals of fat pure and free.
All of these aspects feed into Mazapi’s growth in power, which in turn makes Polipos more powerful. She and her people are not immune to threats, but they are incredibly powerful and should not be provoked, lest a flesh avalanche of lard-imbued warriors smite harassers. Despite this, they remain on their island, peaceful and mostly uninvolved in mainland issues. They will grow, never stopping, learning more about fat, loving the fat, gas, intimacy, and more. This is who they are.
