Ballooning Lore (Journal #5) (6/14/25 update)

Balloon “Lore”
Starting with “Balloonie”/ Balloon Morphing and Feather Puffing lore, as Puffadees are Biologically Balloonies, can be "Balloonie" themselves technically, a unique enough concept.
As an "Consequence" for Puffadees being related to Balloonies means that other than the Attributes, Puffadees are inflatable so can end up like a Balloonie as well
With filling with air, they are rounder and plumper, bigger in size, flatter or edges rounding out with rounder shapes / curving sharp edges.
The body never “orbs” from size as is everything Balloons bigger, kind of like unsquishing but balloon like, as the body parts like limbs don’t sink in and stretch out with the rest of the body to keep shape, the features more balloon like the fluff and limbs too so everything can balloon, so just bigger with rounding and ballooning features with air from size.
As the Body Inflates, the feathers do too, spreading out from the base, become rubbery and them Balloonie, the feathers around the round areas take on more of the Balloonie quality, like they grow too and semi-fuse to the body like that and fluff that flattens and balloons too.
After a certain size the feathers and body look more like usual Balloonie, just round, shiny, and maybe transparent.
Balloonie biology makes the insides disappear with the feathers fused, for if going transparent.
(Balloonie biology with the feathers makes insides go invisible / disappear when you can see through).
As Puffadee are indestructible, they can’t burst like a balloon from pressure, but instead after a certain size it takes energy from unsquishing, and once that’s energy is gone or not being used, they get pressure locked from the body trying to squish back down to normal size. meaning you can’t force anymore air in as the pressure is too high inside, so be very careful of blowback from the air pressure when released.
Wings are the area of the least resistance to be displaced to, and with tails are usually the first areas to be like balloons themselves, and the wings have some tiny holes you can’t see that slowly leak air over time, but maybe could’ve used for some thrust if needed.
The Flat Features like the wings and tails and other flat feature that they might have, filling up and round out, the wings can get very stretched out and big in wingspan, even chest fluff too, or defining fluff that different than the “skin feather”, the dull toes getting round, arms filling, just everything should balloon up in their own way, as once again they don’t orb.
Even if Puffadees don't need their wings to fly, as they can fly like Latias, they can still float away with helium if they’re too big and negative weight is too much, as it takes energy to fly like Latias, so they would just drift away into the sky.
Just everything Balloons in general once again, so limbs and head should not be sinking into the body, everything just rounder and bigger, though inflated wings growing in length being stretched like that, and height getting “taller” from sizing up.
(once again Puffadees don't orb, body parts "balloon stretch" also meaning they get taller, as their body / torso doesn't take up all their body parts, no orbing of the body)
this type of Ballooning with the everything being like balloon and "morphing" in almost like balloons themselves while ballooning up in size called Balloon Morphing
Balloon Morphing - a ballooning style of everything ballooning with the features like balloons too and being balloon stretched so nothing sinks in the their body
Ex. the Wings are getting Balloon Morphed from flat wings to being like balloons themselves
Feather Puffing Sample (crude) -> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59222673/
Extra note - They can also Balloon up differently too vs the lore sometimes for some freedom of style ^/v/^
Creak Morphing
an style of Balloon Morphing were a character that as soon as they hit that inflated ballooned state, starts tighten as they strain to grow more getting tighter quicker, like a balloon about to burst vs the more free style of balloon morphing before getting to that point
Ex. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/59941627/
and a Ex from wingfox in a sequence that's basically Creak Morphing parts 4+ https://www.furaffinity.net/view/8061393/
