I have always been fascinated by a very strange and specific subset of the weight gain and expansion kinks. One I could call the “fruit transformation” idea.
Everybody knows about the “blueberry kink”, the “blueberry transformation” fetish and this whole fascination that was sparked by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That’s the most popular thing when it comes to “fruit transformation”, but in truth it is not the only one - and when it comes to my fascination, it is not what caused it.
My own fascination began with the episode “Strange Fruit” from “Team Galaxy”, about a boy eating an alien fruit and turning into a giant copy of it over the course of the episode - a transformation that looks a LOT like a weight gain, as it starts with him just putting on weight and most of the joke are about him being too big for doors or clothes - he even has manboobs over the episode, as the “fruit” transformation keeps a “humanoid” design, resulting in basically big belly, big butt, love handles and the like. It was my “blueberry” scene so to speak, an episode that marked my childhood and that still fascinates me to no end to this day.
So two important “fruit transformations” that overlap with kink... You’d think it is a weird coincidence.
And then, upon searching around the Internet, I stumbled upon yet another “fruit transformation episode” that overlaps with kink - again from a childhood media. “Jacob Two Two”, a children cartoon, with a specific episode “Jacob and the too big tomato”, about the titular kid using a growing spray to get taller - but given the spray was designed for tomatoes, it also slowly turns him into a giant tomato over the episode. Which includes him becoming thicker and bigger, bursting out of clothes, a design that also evokes obesity or overweightness, and the episode even ends with him being forced to fill himself of soda and burp to reverse the transformation.
Finding three times such a situation occur in three different contexts makes it seem like such a strange and bizarre coincidence... And it made me think of other children media with again, quite similar themes. Case in point: R.L. Stine’s “Losers!” short story, from the anthology “The Haunting Hour” (the book, not the television story) with a VERY kink-material illustration. A story about kids being kidnaped by evil farmers to compete in a twisted parody of the “biggest vegetable” competitions - where they are turned into fat, spheric-like, heavy blobs of kids explicitely compared to big cabbages (round, fat, unable to move or speak) even though they don’t actually turn into vegetables per se. This story I was feverishly obsessed ith as a pre-teen, and I never truly understood why - until I discovered my kinks and suddenly it all made sense.
Four times. Four transformations into giant fruits or vegetables that also is basically a kinky massive weight gain and expansion-transformation. Four different times. It is a MASSIVE and INSANE coincidence, if it is one.
Isn’t there rather an archetype at play here? A trope reused again and again? A basic concept or idea that is present in media, that pops up from time to time, but that we haven’t seen clearly because it is too scattered?
Violet’s transformation in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The kids transformations from R. L. Stine’s Losers. Jacob’s transformation from “Jacob Two Two”. Josh’s transformation in “Team Galaxy”.
This leads me to think: is there more out there? More episodes or stories or comics about people turning into fruits or vegetables, but that hide or could be reused for kink purposes? Flora transformations that actually include bloating, stuffing, expansion, weight gain? Do you know any? Have you seen any? Do you remember any? If you do don’t hesitate to share - I intend on collecting them all and sharing with the world the bizarre expansion of this scenario through media.
