This is incredibly important, beautifully written, gorgeously drawn, and just incredibly well done!! Congrats to all involved - I want to show this to everyone 🙏

I saw your "mandatory reading" post So happy you're vibing with it so hard! I am not surprised, seeing your art, but still <3 thanks!

This was great. I enjoyed reading this as someone who can have complex feelings about it as a disabled fat person with a lot of issues around food. You and I have discussed this before, and your work has really helped me in the past in understanding its like any other kink - its not cool for people to force it on others but that's not the fault of the fetish that's the fault of people with bad boundaries. Your work makes it feel so. Warm and loving and safe? And I think this comic beautifully captures what you helped me in conversation and just observation of your work to understand about this kink. Well done!!! Also, I love all these darling characters so much!!!

Yeah Selki! Long time no see, I hope you're doing well. Thanks so much for reading and commenting! You gave me some glimpses into your experience and I think I understand, and I find that brave and ... right?

Haha honestly I am a bit at a loss for words right now, because what you say is so friendly and charming and flattering, you kinda overestimate the role that I'm playing here, versus your own journey and growth and openness and all that I take it to heart tho! Thank you very much.

In the end I guess I just hope I can help people understand that having this "freaky" kink isn't something shameful. (And at the same time it's not a licence so objectify people either, I hope that's a given.) And also on the other hand work towards a clearer distinction when actual abuse is happening?

Thank you, thank you

The vibes are IMMACULATE 💙

Thank youuu!

This is lovely! Thank you.

You're welcome <3 Thanks for reading!

This is lovely! Informative, and very sweet too.
As a fat person who doesn't share this kink, I'm happy to understand it better now, from the perspective of those who do. Thank you for making this zine!

And thank you for reading it <3 I'm glad you got something out of it, makes me proud hehe

Oh this was absolutely beautiful. Everything felt so deliciously explained.^^

Thanks :^D Deliciously explained haha, oh I had quite fun coming up with ideas and how to illustrate them!

This is such a nice work, thank you two so much for it! I especially love how the characters express different sentiments about feedism and yet all of them have fun with it :)

Oh they do!! Ahhh, if I had endless time and energy I could come up with so many more characters, scenarios and details and so much fun with this kink lmao. We're happy we put it out there, thanks for reading it.

Amazing!! I love it so much, and it's so important to have something like this. Recently, my bestie told me that they discovered their new partner was into feedism, and my bestie was proud to be able to say they knew all about it and the wholesomeness from me. I'm sure their partner was delighted my friend knew about it all really. Double dates are in the works with our respective feedism partners and honestly...it just makes me so happy. 🥹

This sounds so cute and wholesome, I'm happy they & you are having fun exploring your kinkier side and maybe even find communalities :>

Thank you 🥹🥰 It's such a positive experience!

Gotta agree with a lot of the comments here: this is a pretty fantastic read regardless of a reader's more personal opinions on the concept of feedism itself! A delightfully affirming piece of literature for folks leaning into it who may resonate with its' message and understand their own interest in it better, while hopefully serving as a better way to educate any willing readers who might have their own reservations on this kind of thing!

I'm honestly not much of a 'feeder/feedee' from a more real life perspective, but it always did strike me as something that can mean a lot to folks who are, so could always appreciate it for what it is, especially from the lens of a general weight gain appreciator!

Great work to the both of you on this! It's truly fascinating stuff like this why I have such a deep-seated appreciation and fascination for kinks of all kinds, even if they may not be stuff I'm necessarily into myself, haha!

Ahhh thanks so much for commenting! We originally wrote this for the uninitiated, for a normie even, I'd say. I didn't know what to expect, but I really didn't expect this many positive messages from people who actually share this kink and who apparently feel well represented

But yeah, super nice to hear it spoke to you in a way! I am not a feeder nor feedee myself IRL, because this is all fantasy to me at the end of the day, but I knew I was into it since very young and that came with a lot of bagage and shame. And I guess I'm over it for the most part and I would love if others could let go of their shame, too, because it's really common. I bet even if you are "just" into WG you know what I'm talking about, still?

Also, what I think I learned drawing this and talking it through with so many: I wasn't even aware people were into feedism without the weight gain, or into weight gain but not feedism! For me it always went hand in hand and I never questioned it. And I just recently realized you can like one without the other (duh hahaha)

You're welcome! I figured that was the primary intent behind it due to how descriptive it is of the roles involved, especially to 'normies' as you put it (who will hopefully be open-minded about it!), but seemed only natural for folks already into the kink to be drawn to it too in my eyes, haha! I, personally, just love seeing other folks more personal perspectives behind what a particular kink may mean for them -- feedism or otherwise :D.

But yeah, there's a few other kinks I kind of got into at a young age as well - definitely too young, even - which certainly resulted in some self-image issues growing up. This was only exacerbated by my sexual orientation leaning toward interest in other men within a community where that kind of thing was kind of taught to be suppressed in order to come across as 'normal'. Thankfully, I've long since embraced myself for who I am in the interest of better mental health, but can always appreciate stuff like this that helps to reinforce my mindset of kinks being perfectly healthy to have when boundaries are respected by all parties involved, no different from standard sex!

And hey, for what it's worth, I didn't know that last bit either, although guess I shouldn't be surprised either! Honestly, it's little stuff like that where two people can hold the same kind of kink, yet still have a very different preference for what they like to look for, that makes them so much fun to both have and observe among other folks!

I'll be honest, life would probably be a looooooooot more boring for me if they didn't exist, ahaha!

How beautifully informative! I hope this is the introduction/explanation plenty of people see as it's perfectly done~

Ahhh Thank you so much! It is ... surprisingly popular. I mean, I had no idea what to expect, but at least 300 people downloaded it so far so :> dang, makes me super happy!!

Very interesting stuff! Thanks to you both for making this.

I have to admit, fat and feeder fetishism creeps me out a lot of the time. Especially the IRL stuff that focuses on immobilization and co-dependency between feeder and feedee. I remember reading blogs focusing on this kink a few years back and being absolutely horrified that the decline in health (developing diabetes, metabolic syndrome, etc.) of the feedees seemed to be part of the appeal for some of these couples.

I also find the way fat people are objectified in porn to be very uncomfortable, particularly in the sub-genre called “slob” (sp?). More recently, however, I’ve discovered a new generation of artists that have a lot more respect and warmth in the way they depict fatness. This quality remains in even your more fetishistic pieces, and I think you’ve singlehandedly changed my perception of both fat and feeder fetishism. I absolutely love that!

Hey Ophryon, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I think I know exactly what you mean.
Growing up I felt very early on that weight gain & feedism were fascinating to me, but I also knew intrinsically that it was "bad" and "wrong". And I remember those talk show guests and TLC style documentations about couples and there was really just one specific type in my memory: Usually hetero, usually a skinny to normal-sized (but in any case able bodied) man with a wife he actively fed to a bedbound state, a wife who had very little power & say in that relationship, with dubious consent at best. And that put so much shame into me for so many years, even tho I figured out eventually I enjoy consent? It's not just right on a moral level, but vital to my own enjoyment? Yet feedism was so tied to this specific kind of abuse that it was still hard to accept that this is more or less kinda my sexuality? Or at least deeply tied to it.

Personally, I am also not a fan of slob and I don't like to be humiliated or to humiliate. I think it shows in my art haha! But at least with the zine, we didn't want to necessary shame those who do or alienate them. Because I know people who enjoy that and there's nothing wrong with that. And I even know that some feedees, as crazy as that might sound, enjoy on some level their physical degradation. And that as well, if it's your body you should be able to do with it whatever you want, even if most people don't understand. (And I also have a hunch most people feel like Jameel, who enjoys the idea of immobility: It's sexy and exciting for a few minutes in the bedroom, but do I want to live like that 24/7? Probably not )

I'm rambling, sorry! But thanks so much for reading & commenting and I am flattered by your words singlehandedly??? what? So happy you got something out of it and enjoy my art, Ophryon, because I enjoy yours too :>

This is really wonderful work! I'm unsure of my own relationship with feedism, but it's wonderful to see it represented so positively and openly. I'm sure this will help others to see what people might find appealing about it.

Late reply, but thank you! I hope so too :^D I will rework this a bit and color it and probably take the chance to incorporate ideas/feedback from comments. Was a real interesting experience reading them all!
