Introducing GUMMI™! [1/4]
Are you tired of mealtime being another box to tick off your to-do list? Not feeling any enjoyment or accomplishment from eating? Are your peers considerably further in their hibernation winterization then you? Then have I got the solution for you: Introducing GUMMI™!

A fun character design project that came to me in a dream believe it or not, some dreams you barely remember, others you'd rather forget. And then there's the strange goldilocks kinds of dreams where you wake up feeling so nice and rested, and the dream itself holds on to your memory tightly... Like a parasite...
I was at a convention taking part in a batsu/elimination game, similar to Squid Game where each game eliminates a portion of the players. I was quite far in and there were only around twenty of us left. The next game begun. In front of us was placed a bowl full of nuts, to pass and stay in the game we'd have to consume a certain number of them. *But* there was a caveat. One of these nuts containted a parasite, one that would make you put on weight. All was explained on a little instructional card each player received, it also said the following: ''If you contract the parasite, we will study it's behavior and how much you imprint on it, which will be kinda hot'' I'm not kidding 😆
Sure enough, I woke up from that strange and gnarly dream feeling so nice and refreshed. And I kept thinking of it the whole time when making breakfast and going through the morning routine. ''Damn, they were right... That *is* kinda hot'' I thought to myself. And sure enough, Gummi was born!
What was supposed to be a simpler fun character design exercise turned into a much larger scale worldbuilding project involving a character some of you may recognize, Gillian the Aggregator! Since the concept of a commercial parasite seems like something an evil mastermind would cook up, why not have him claim the glory for it? Surely he's got plenty of guinea pigs amongst his ranks to test it on!
Lastly, the graphic design for this project was inspired by those old timey ads from the 50s that were quite unhinged in the sense that they would often advertise incredibly dangerous things in a really cutesy sing-songy way. ''More doctors smoke Camel than any other cigarette!'' ''Fussy children? Try Cocaine tooth drops!'' ''Lady out of the dark, thanks to Amphetamines!'' (These were all actually real ads). I've always thought those old ads were charmingly dark, I've heard claims that in those times tapeworms were sometimes advertised as a weight loss aid (I'm sorry you're reading this), and I thought ''Huh, what if *that* but one that makes you bigger instead?''
As gnarly as it all is, this project was the most fun I have ever had in my years of doing art. And I'm so glad to have dreamt that dream, or Gummi wouldn't have come to be! 🐛

this is the kind of niche creativity we need during these trying times,, ,, as a symbiote connesuir, i highly aprove of exploring the capabilities and fantasies of what symbiotes could do in terms of helping us gain weight 🐽💚 this is amazing stuff!!!! i would loveeee to see more of this guy, maybe even make my own fanart of sorts ;pp
This is an amazing lore and worldbuilding that you have created!
Elliot and Dennis being shown here implies a few theories:
- Elliot has a GUUMI while Dennis does not
- Elliot has knowledge of GUMMI and is jailbreaking his GUMMI from Gillian's control
- Elliot might be a defector from Gillian's syndicate after knowing about Gillian's true intentions of releasing GUMMI to the public
There are also a few theories about Gillian's syndicate and his members:
- The higher ranking members have the better versions of GUMMI
- The better versions of GUMMI may have less of the side effects and more additional benefits or functions
- GUMMI's programming can be changed remotely to the syndicate members more loyal to Gillian
- Gillian may not have a GUMMI in him for obvious reasons
I would like to create a Discord server for the lore and worldbuilding, and create a community of GUMMI fans where characters (joining the syndicate or resistance) and stories are created.
