So do your caretakers have their own rooms considering they need to care for you 24/7, or do they all have their separate homes?
They have their own separate homes! Julie is Pas's primary caretaker and most usually around, he lives in his own apartment but will often stay overnight in the guest room, just because he enjoys his job! Bea is only there part time however as shes still earning her license! It's still practically 24/7 care though, Bea tends to be around when Julie can't, behehe
I'm thinking Pas and caretaker at a retro Lan party!
That'd be so cute!! I do wanna move on toward a chunkier analog style for computers and tech generally too...
In the vein of nerdy stuff, I can imagine Pas going to a comic book store to play D&D or something. They get pushed in by caretakers in their wheelchair, and they struggle to fit all their food on the table along with a dice tray, character sheet, and so on. Pizza boxes and fast food wrappers and such litter the table along with the D&D paraphernalia.
Thats a super cute idea! It's definitely on the list, i think it'd be fun as one of those full spread, real detailed background pics...
Idea: slice of life of caretakers, taking inventory, sorting all the stuff need to keep things all well and managed.
This is something i wanna tackle eventually, doing a picture without my sona, maybe show off some of the house design while im at it!
Caretakers taking pas out to see a movie they’ve been hyped for months!
This is the biggest contender tbh! im thinking of getting them seated in one of the disabled spots with a nurse hovering over them in the recliner next to them, behehe
Imagine Pas's having a big shelf of nerdy stuff! Merchandise, DVDs, comic/manga, etc~
This is already something i'm organizing irl already, behehe
Could you please give us some more info on your Caretakers? It’s weird that you haven’t given them a Bio until recently.
Well it's because they weren't really ment to be super established characters to begin with! Whenever I'd talk about having caretakers it was usually just a thing youre ment to fill in yourself. But I've enjoyed the thought of having a smaller, more consistent team to put in the background and in side roles when i dont have other people to fill in a role i want! Thats part of why im doing a qna too, to flesh em out a lil more!
dawwww those two sound super sweet to ya! What do you think of each of 'em?
Oh i like them a lot! I feel like it can get really easy to forget that theyre paid help or equals though, it can get very easy to slip into thinking i need their ok to do anything and treating them more like my guardians. I feel like they just usually have so much better of an idea of what i need and control over my routine. But they're unparalleled in making me feel safe and cared for!
Do Julie and Bea hang out with ya outside of work? Play games, watch shows, that sorta stuff?
Oh yeah of course! Julies actually in that picture of the tcg tourney. They're caretakers but they're not under orders to stay detached or anything. And they care about my emotional health too! I think we've got a favor system in place, getting them to take me out or play games or something in exchange for being extra compliant in therapy or helping in ways that im capable, like sorting files or something
OH and does julie have any other patients? Or is it a thing where they were assigned to ya or they were soooo enamoured by your intense, blubbery charm?
I think Julie has his hands full with me, behehe. In fact I think he's the one that requested Bea! Like yes she is studying under him but i dont think she'd look for a different patient once she has her license!
Does Bea do the cooking as well? Or is she more on the organizational side of things?
Bea cooks yes! Generally Julie takes care of the more physical aspects of care, like cleaning and exercise, while Bea takes care of diet and cooking. She also likes handling things like skin care and haircuts though!
Oooh new ocs, how fun! okk so are these two the strict type with the sheep? LIKE kinda guardian strict like "you gotta eat such and such or do this and that" or are they more sweet and gentle-like
I would say a mix of both! They both wouldn't skirt around routine care, Pas has a very strict schedule and dietary restrictions for their own health (things like daily arm and leg stretches, limits on stuff like sodium and caffeine), but they're not total joyless hardasses, they're very gentle and supportive in the way they support me and im allowed plenty of cheat days, as long as they can be planned around, behehe
I've often felt the most distinctively adorable & appealing aspect of Pas' persona is their total, unabashed, easy-going attitude to their own obesity! There's none of the awkward: 'H-have I gained weight? …D-don't be ridiculous!' 😅 or 'SHUDDUP! I'M NOT FAT DAMNIT!!!' 🤬 ya so often see in other feedist OCs! Ya always get the impression that if asked outright, Pas would just reply: 'Yeah, I'm fat. I love being fat. I wanna grow even fatter, & I love helping Others grow fatter too! 😊…You have a great day!'
Yeah deep at my core i'm someone who loves my lifestyle! I can still feel shy and struggle to talk about it openly but at the end of the day i want to be a gainer without shame or guilt!
Do ya prefer Chonky Gluttons who grow fatter because they love to overeat? Or who overeat because they love growing fatter? Or some sumptuous, sensuous and irresistibly self-sustaining cycle of both?!
I think i have a preference for the latter, though i certainly think they compliment each other well, behehe. The biggest attraction i have to gainerism is the body itself, the size, heft, the way it impacts every aspect of your life!
Have you tried mobiltiy scootes? I know they come with a hefty pricetag and their own disadvantages, but I was curious if you had any success with them?
I have tried them a couple of times but honestly i prefer my electric wheelchair! it might not be as fancy but its a lot more maneuverable indoors!
