Whether he wanted it or not, the deeper his connection with his gem…the hungrier the little fox got. He would spend most his days stuffing his face for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, then gorging himself late at night. This gluttonous cycle has caused the fox's weight to skyrocket. That and the fact his gem would use less and less of its magic on his stomach, meaning more of what he stuffed himself with stuck to his hips. In just a few days, the fox’s modest 155 pound frame would bloat up to over 170…180…190…the scale just kept going up, and Crimson was enjoying every morsel he stuffed into his increasingly greedy maw. The ability to have food brought straight to him was a major catalyst in the fox’s alarmingly fast weight gain. Since Crimson had bonded with his gem enough to create watery portals from the grocery store directly into his sanctuary. Making his deliveries near instant.

After yet another late night binge, the fox was passed out in the living room couch, deep in a food coma. His stomach groaning and gurgling softly with the rhythm of the rain. When suddenly his gem would begin to glow.

Eat…

Crimson woke up with a gasp, having dreamed of eating again. Which he knows only makes him hungrier for his first breakfast. Rubbing his eyes and yawning, the nearly 200 pound fox grunts and rolls into a sitting position, his paunch spilling into his lap. He scratches at it lazily and stands up with a grunt. Looking at himself in the mirror with a smirk. “Looking good, fatty~”

Eat. You're starving yourself, Crimson.

The gem demanded, making Crim’s stomach growl, despite already holding quite a bit of food from the previous night. A common occurance now due to just how much more Crim had bonded with the gem to gain more power, and by how much his stomach was stretching due to his constant binges. “Uurgh…I feel like there's a boulder in my stomach. I'm good for now..” Crim hiccuped and held his still bloated belly, flopping down on the couch with a deep sigh, the couch creaking softly under his weight. “Gimme a few…hours.”

He groans and rubs his belly in slow circles, quite uncomfortable since the fox ate 25 large pizzas the previous night in his binge.

Pizza sounds good, little fox. Order us some pizza.

The gem has gotten quite good at convincing Crimson to engorge himself with more fattening food. But lately, he needed some persuasion. A few pulses later, Crim was on his phone ordering 3 large pizzas. The gem rewarding him by soothing the bellyache from last night. “Ahhh…better get stuffed crust” Crimson’s bellyache was now replaced by the feeling of hunger at the mention of that, no doubt because his gem liked the idea of the added calories.

As he placed the order, the fox’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Lillen.

“Hey Crim, been a few weeks. How are you holding up out there?”

“It's fine. Weather’s nice and there's no weasel gang hunting me down”

“Right..sorry I couldn't help with getting you out of there sooner. I didn't know you were a Vibra”

“Neither did anyone else, it's fine. Thanks for hooking me up with this food delivery service btw, saved me having to dye my fur again just to get a loaf of bread”

“Lmao no problem. Hey, mind if I spend the weekend at your place? I could use an escape from the city…people are going insane over this new law they passed”

“Oh yeah defo get out of there. I would invite you to live here but I don't know what Spunky would think”

“I wouldn't know, he's spent most of his time recently behind closed doors scribbling away at his sketchbook”

“I figured, his FurNet page is blowing up! Here stand still, I've got a cool party trick to show you”

Crimson puts the phone down and takes a deep breath, walking out to the lake and kneeling down at the lakefront where he meditates. “come on gem…don't fail me now.” He mutters to himself as he grazes his paw over the surface of the lake. Barely touching his pads to the surface of the water. Feeling the surface tension as his gem begins to glow. An ancient rune forming at the surface of the lake. Crimson mutters something under his breath and begins to stand. His pawpads glowing in unison with his gem. Continuing to mutter something in another language, Crimson’s pawpads glow even brighter, charging energy up. The pudgy fox braces himself as his paw shoots out a powerful blast of water. An incredibly powerful blast that tears through time and space itself…and creates a watery portal out of thin air in front of the fox.

“Lillen!!” Crimson yells out to the portal

“Holy…shit Crim. What did you-” *The gooey Lycanroc peeks through the portal, stepping through and into the sanctuary. Crimson runs up and picks up the lycanroc in a big tight hug.

“Eeeeeee I missed youuuu!!!” Crimson spun Lillen around in a circle before setting him down. Not even giving him time to look down at the fox’s paunch before the lycanroc’s paw is pulled “Come on in! I've got pizza on the way~” Crimson yanks Lillen inside and closes the door behind him. The fox turns around, making Lillen’s jaw drop

“W-Woah…uh. Crimson?” Lillen stammers as he speaks, utterly shocked at the dramatic change in the vibrant fox’s figure

“Yeah?” Crimson looks over to Lillen, tilting his head a bit

“Y-You uh…you're..uh” He struggles to find the words. Crimson chuckles and walks up to the blushing lycanroc, putting a paw to his shoulder.

“A little chunkier? Yeah I know~ having the ability to summon food here at any time makes it hard to resist getting an extra snack here and there, yknow~?” The fox puts a paw to his paunch.

Lillen bites his lip, hesitating before he decides to just say it. “Yeah…but you're FAT! Like, HUGE!! How much do you even weigh?!” He gingerly puts a paw to Crimson’s stomach. Feeling just how soft and doughy it felt…like fresh, warm donut dough.

“You know…I'm not sure..” Suddenly the doorbell rings, and Crimson’s gem pulses

Eat, Crimson…you're starving.

“Uh..we can check after lunch. I'm starving!” Crimson practically runs to the door and grabs the pizzas. Setting them down “want a slice?”

“Are you..expecting more people Crim? Those are BIG pizzas.” Lillen crosses his arms with a huff.

“Hm? Oh! No I just didn't know how hungry you were..so I ordered extra! Yeah…” Crimson scratches the back of his neck. Trying to cover up the fact that he meant to order those three large pizzas just for himself. Lillen looks over skeptically, especially down at the fox's gut as he begins opening the pizza box. Taking a long breath, and letting out a shuddering moan. “Ohhh yeah…that's the stuff.” Crimson picks up a slice and hands it to Lillen

“You don't have any..plates or anything?” Lillen chimes in as he takes the large, overly greasy slice

“Not really. Just eat with your paws, it's just us!” Crimson takes two slices at once and takes a big bite. Grease dripping onto his gut.

“Crim, no I'm dead serious. How much do you weigh? This is concerning..” Lillen said with urgency

“But I'm not done with my pizza!” Crimson complained, taking another bite. “Oh alright..” He finishes those two slices within a few more bites. Taking another slice ‘for the road’ as Crim leads Lillen to the scale. Turning it on and stepping on. The pudgy fox lazily taking a bite as the numbers appeared on the scale

260

“260 POUNDS?!” Lillen gasped and put a paw to Crimson’s stomach, making it slosh “Crim..what have you been EATING?!”

“Oh you know…just a few extra snacks here and there~” The fox said with a smug grin on his face, laughing at the lycanroc’s shock of seeing just how much weight his friend gained in such a short amount of time. And they were both..only getting started~

“Want some more pizza, Lillen~?” The fat fox offering a slice to the worried lycanroc. Who takes it and takes a bite, watching Crimson push the rest of the pizza slice into his greedy maw.

Here’s a fairly old Scaling Up YCH I did for @CrimsonFoxxo, who was kind enough to write a lovely story to go along with the sequence! A big thank you to him for writing it, he really went all out on the story, and I think it adds a lot of context and world-building to the setting, character, and sequence itself.

In terms of the art itself, I had a lot of fun getting to fatten up the side characters and express just how much of a corrupting influence the main fatty was having on the other fellows around him. A lot of fun cameos went into this story too - it was a lot of fun doing a little mutual gaining between him and Lillen the Lycanroc fellow (@Tribond_DaShark on X) - I have to say, that Lycanroc looks most fetching with some extra lard on him…~ The other chubby cameos are quite handsome too, with the dough-lightful dragon ( Splizky ) and doughball deer ( FrostyFurpucino ) too!

Thank you again for commissioning me, CrimsonFoxxo , and I hope you all enjoy!
