(Okay I think this'll be the last super-obvious one I'll probably need to coverrr >w>)

10 days remain until a rather big surprise, aren't you excited?~ I won't spoil what is to come...but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at just how much of a tight squeeze you are in for~

For now though, lets look at another case of Taut-tober's influence spreading to something seemingly innocuous and unable to be afflicted~

No matter the generation, everyone can attest to hearing about that "one toy", you know the one, the hottest one on the market that EVERYONE had to have if you wanted to be cool growing up! Whether you had it or not, you surely heard about it EVERYWHERE.
...Of course, many times, these toys were simply a passing fad, a "right time right place" kind of thing...not in this case though. In this world's version of the 90's, that hot new toy was a "Talking Tattletail"! They had real needs, they could eat real food, and they talked as if they were really alive! While they eventually faded from the eye of the general public, they've remained VERY popular in certain circles due to just how ahead of their time they were!

While they remain popular as collector's items, as a means of studying their surprisingly advanced AI, or just as a little nostalgic buddy...others may find themselves purchasing one...for other reasons, such as to see just how far their features can be pushed...~

I mentioned just a bit above how a Tattletail could "eat real food", right? Well, I wasn't kidding! They really could, and unlike what you might expect, they hardly even made a mess! Just leaving behind a little plastic egg...but what if you fed them even if they weren't hungry?~ Why, the Tattletail certainly wouldn't be bothered, it would just continue babbling in it's high pitched, squeaky voice, even as you stuffed it more and more...and began to make it's already ovular shape even rounder...~

Going from being able to comfortably be held in one hand, to being the size of a beanbag chair...then a sofa...then a stack of mattresses...~ All while it continued to egg on it's feeder saying things like "more, more!" and "yummy in me!" ...even as their voice began to grow deeper and more muffled sounding...not out of low batteries, mind you, but simply because of how even their voice box was beginning to swell from the pressure. Even if it didn't make any logical sense, every inch of them was swelling up like a balloon as they ate more and more, even things like their little heart-shaped nose or bright blue eyes~

Their fur smoothed out into a stretchy, rubbery look, and their feet turned into round nubs as they outgrew their exceptionally wealthy buyer's home after only a few hours of stuffing! Continuing to outgrow it as they exploded out of the ceiling and swelled forth, of course by now this was a VERY common sight in this world, so few even batted an eye~ Rising pressure was starting to become the norm around here...its just that some like this blown out toy have gotten a head start on that swelling~

Toys are meant to be played with, even if that way of play is different from the norm~
======================================================

Sorry if this story wasn't much, I admittedly struggled a bit coming up with how this would end up happening xwx
I am REALLY excited for the ones I have planned for these last 10 days tho!~
