Now, what happens when you flatten your friend's personality into a 2D charicature by mistaken description? Well, they'll lack... dimension~ Incredibly simple-minded, they'll come across as a one-off character in a TV show. We cannot rely on these dummies' perspectives to understand what's about to happen next... so allow me to guide you. You can spot me by the italics~

"I swear. Bellies, food, and diapers are all he seems to talk about!"

Having invited Silver to lunch at a local fast food place, Jordan placed an impossibly large order... and rather than paying an exact amount, he just put some money down from his wallet and left. Because that's how ordering food works, right? Well it is now. You think such a simple-minded fur can grasp the economy? The cashier was bewildered at first but soon relaxed and let them sit down.

With their table established, Silver moved to leave. "Hang on, I gotta visit the restroom."

Jordan blinked in confusion. "What're you gonna do there?"

"Well I'm gonna- um-" Silver paused. Though he didn't know it, by calling attention to the restroom the very concept was becoming paved over by Jordan's idea of a restroom. "-IIIII forgot to put a diaper on!"

"Oh, goodness! Yeah you're right! Hurry hurry hurry, don't wanna spring a leak!"

Silver huffed and skedaddled to the restroom. Why did he feel a little dizzy? Inside was just a few changing tables, a sink, and plenty of poofy diapers to change into. He picked a light blue one and laid down on the table. Robotic hands sprung from the wall, took off his pants, and changed him into a fresh diaper. He sighed with relief, hopping back onto his feet and waddling out. His pants transformed into a poofy diaper of the same color, and were added back to the diaper stock by the robot hands. After all, these were what pants were.

"Ah you're back! The food's ready." Jordan gestured to the table, absolutely chock full of food.

"Huh? But that much food should have..." Vanishing vertigo. Supply chains, cooking? How complicated. No, it's simpler to think that you place your order and after a moment it comes out ready to eat. "Awesome!"

Silver wriggled into the booth, his chubby belly wobbling under his shirt as he dug in and started eating. Jordan was voracious, eating quickly and eagerly. As he enjoyed every bite, he rambled on and on about how much he loved the food. And that reminded him how much he loved big fat bellies and making them bigger. Which made him think of his poofy diapers, which were almost as thick you know. The next big bite of burger brought the topic right back to food again... and the cycle repeated.

Silver thought to himself, 'He's repeating the same things. Over and over...' He took a bite of a burger. '...I'm so hungry though, I might actually be able to eat all this...

Each bite made his gut swell rapidly, but he was always this fat. Just like everyone else. His shirt could cover it just fine, even as it grew with all the calories he was feeding it. Digestion was too high a concept. Eating sustained them still, but it also made you fatter on the spot. That's just how food works, right?

"Mm, I love making my belly bigger!" Jordan repeated, reaffirming what he had said at least a couple times now.

'Belly bigger... I love making my belly bigger!' Silver thought.

Jordan squeezed his belly. "Murr, so thick and soft. Just how I like my diapers!"

'Diaper good too! Kinda like belly...'

Soon, and like always, Jordan and Silver began chatting about their favorite topics: food, bellies, and diapers. As their passionate but simple conversation went on, the world around them continued to bend and flatten. Jordan would comment on a car driving by, and all cars would expand in size to accommodate the big round gluttons Jordan knew everyone to be. A customer would walk in, and Silver's gaze would render them as round as they were dumb. Big ideas from customers talking out of view would be smothered by the overheard conversation of the two simple fatties, until soon the chubby-and-growing diaperfurs were also talking about the new diaper print that had just come out.

And so the simplification spread. As more of the world was perceived by 2D personalities it became less complex itself. The collective intelligence of the fast food joint dropped as the average waistline expanded. Concepts ceased to exist or were replaced with simple, silly facsimiles of themselves. They say you can't idiot-proof anything as idiots are ingenious, but a world ran like how a dummy thinks it works is rather well-off for itself. Sports became eating competitions. Farms grew plants that sprouted meals or end-of-process ingredients. Big, complex dilemmas or logistical problems refused to manifest.

There was no escape from being simplified into a hungry, round diaper dummy. Even being indirectly perceived would begin the changes. The longer you were thought about, or adjacent to ideas containing you (such as your house, a photo you're in the background of, etc), the further it would progress. Spots of the world would suddenly convert and change as a dummy across the globe thought about that one vacation trip they had...

And so life was easy. Reality ceased to have complexity. Life was simple.

After all… Silver can’t be wrong about Jordan, so Jordan can’t be wrong about how the world works~

This is the depiction of a concept I really, really love called "trait radiance." I might've discussed it before elsewhere, but put simply: imagine a fur or object that embodies a concept so strongly, so purely, that it rubs off on furs around it. A fur so dumb that intelligence drains from those around them. A fur so fat no one can be thin around them. An absorbent diaper that permanently erases the concept of toilets and potty training from those nearby. Etcetera! The trait 'rubs off' on others. It doesn't have to be reality bending, but that's an easy fun way to go about it.

This is part 2 of what may become a series about reality being bent due to forced simplicity. You can find part 1 here (link)!

For the record: this was well before I learned about the game Look Outside, which is a particularly relevant topic to this idea. 4 years before that game in fact, I came up with this idea at the same time as the last part! Um, don't look up Look Outside okay? It's a game all about body horror due to a Visitor gazing down at the Earth, it's not fun. Great concept to be adapted into kink though.
