Inflation and Lungpower?

This might sound like a rather odd concept, but it's something that I've been pondering a great deal lately, and I'm curious to hear what other people's thoughts on the matter are.

Although I generally credit the old Aesop's Fable "The Frog and the Ox" with cementing my interest in inflation, my first actual encounter with pneumatic expansion was actually the fairy tale "The Three Little Pigs" - specifically the Disney animated version. I remember being fascinated by the way the wolf's torso seemed to balloon out as he inhaled, then contract sharply when he blew down the pigs' houses. In some ways, I think that was the seed that started it all for me.

Although my taste in inflation has 'refined' itself over the years - so to speak - I still find that I tend to associated lungpower and inflation fairly closely. Something about the idea of a character taking an enormous breath and actually swelling and distending with air - sometimes to the point of becoming completely spherical - then blasting it back out again with incredible force, has always had a strange yet strong appeal to me. Sadly, this gimmick or theme (whatever you want to call it) seems to be fairly rare in inflation fiction and artwork. I could probably count the number of stories I've seen it featured in on one hand and still have fingers left over.

I'd be curious to know if there is anyone else out there with similar feelings on the subject. It seems like such an obvious connection to me (though I'm biased, naturally), yet it's proven to be fairly rare.

Thoughts?

A real Kitana kiss of death inflatality.

It's something I like too... something about the whole simple and dirty inflation without any aids whether it's a girl inflating herself by breathing in, or a girl blowing into another girl (which to me has the added benefit of being like the ultimate girl-on-girl action)

Something I quite like is a girl who puts her thumb in her mouth and blows and inflates. Not in the way that she is blowing into her thumb... but that the air she is blowing out backs up and blows her up... :)

I must admit, the idea of a girl blowing against her thumb to inflate herself is something I'm rather fond of as well. That kind of 'feedback' inflation is the sort of thing you used to see fairly often in cartoons, though I've only read a handful of stories that feature it. It's something of a classic, I think - if an underused one.

Having one girl blow into another girl's mouth in order to inflate her is an idea I find rather tantalizing as well, especially if the girl doing the blowing has to puff herself up a bit on the inhale in order to get enough air to inflate her victim. Again, the idea of someone acting like a human bellows - expanding and contracting with each huff and puff - is one I find rather appealing.

Yes I really love the idea of a girl continusly inhaling and swelling up and doesn't stop until she is a complete sphere always had a huge appeal to me as well. Its a shame that you don't see too much "huff and puff" inflation :(

Well, with good lungpower and capacity, you can fill your lungs, or push your stomach out, quite a bit. I use the latter quite a bit for sensations... during things.

Anyone ever play a wind instrument? A good portion of those help build lungpower. Certain brass, particularly.

Well, that lungpower thing doesn't much for me if I see it, but I like it of someone blows in my mouth :D that feels funny and I can feel my lungs inflate.

What stories and artwork have you seen this type of inflation in? I can recall this story that LutherKane wrote that sort of deals with this kind of inflation, its called Leslie's Blowup.

I've been wanting to draw it out for some time.

I remember Leslie's Blowup. It was actually one of the first inflation stories I ever read. Still one of my favorites. Seeing a visual rendition of it would be wonderful.

A number of Alec Deluxe's stories feature this type of inflation as well, as do a handful of other short works I've read over the years (Distended Rivalry, and a few others who's names and/or author's escape me at present). By-and-large however, they tend to be fairly rare, at least to my knowledge. I'm pretty sure I have every one I was ever able to find archived on my hard-drive somewhere. It's a very, very small file, to say the least.

I'm currently working on a few short stories featuring this method of inflation, but writer's block and an acute lack of free time has forced me to put these projects on hold for the moment. I'll get them finished... someday...

The percentage of artwork featuring 'lungpower' inflation is only slightly greater. I've seen a few pieces over the years, but the details escape me at the moment, sadly.

The most recent examples I can think of were made by the artists moggslink (http://moggslink.deviantart.com/) and catonahat (http://catonahat.deviantart.com/). It comprises only a small portion of their overall work, but they seem to explore the theme more often than most artists I've seen.

Well I remember there being a drawing, which I think was on the main page of the icB2E homepage or something like that of a girl inflating herself by blowing against her thumb...

Luther wrote a story called the Ringmaster which featured blow-flation copiously. I have drawn a little illustration of it too.

I also wrote a story called Black and White Butterflies, one called Miniflation (which features breathing in, which is like lung power). And a series of hitgifts featuring one girl using another as a footpump (again, skirting around the lungpower lines). I also did a drawing of an office girl inflating another by blowing into a hose.

anyway, if you're interested, all the ones I did which I mentioned can be found here:

Ah, I'd forgotten about The Ringmaster. That was another good one. You don't see a lot of inflation poetry out there, let along stuff so well-written.

Thanks for telling me about Black and White Butterflies. I didn't realize you'd updated your DA page - I thought I had you on my watch-list, but I guess not. Miniflation is actually closer to what I was talking about in regards to lungpowered inflation though - the idea of a girl simply inhaling and swelling up as she does, getting bigger the more air she takes-in. I do love the idea of a girl using her own lungs/body as a bellows though - swelling herself up with air, then blowing it into someone else to make them grow. It's another one of those things you don't see too much of.

If you ever find that picture from the icB2E homepage, I'd really appreciate it if you'd toss me the link. I've lost nearly my entire archive of artwork from the 'old days', so I'd welcome the opportunity to re-discover some of it.

I've always liked Miniflation but I had completely forgotten about Butterflies -- thanks for that reminder.

Blowing up via lung power isn't all that uncommon a gag in inflation fiction. Aside from those already mentioned...

Balloon Race
Busty Babe Blows Herself to Pieces
Jealousy
The Unbelievable Growing Woman

There are a few others that aren't in the archive here. Alec Deluxe has done it a few times, and then there's the Battle of the Bulge series by CaffeineAddict.

Personally, I'm fond of the "inflating by taking a deep breath" method. I've used it a couple of times and will do so again in the future.

And another random interjection.

Taking deep breaths, if even for your fantasy play (:P) is healthy for you!

Yay, healthy stuff.

I've actually been working on a lung-powered inflation concept for a while. A young woman is chewing bubble gum, and she is struck or startled, and swallows her gum. She also gets a case of hiccups -- but the gum has lodged inside her in such a way that every hiccup causes her to inflate. I just need some sort of context for the story; maybe a maid in a corset, or a janitor in an antiques shop, who has to maneuver her expanding body out of the store before destroying too much merchandise.

Yes I think deep breathing helps gets toxins or whatever out the lungs or something. :)

Battle of the bulge is AWESOME! If you like hot superheroines and inflation by blowing, look no more!

Butterflies is also great. One of the best fiction we have! It explores lots of interesting things (fear, a crazy inflator, a believably frightened inflatee, blowing, a bit of lesbianism...)

They were stories of mine, they're all up on my DA:

part one
part two-1
part two-2 (DA was acting weird and I couldn't fit the whole thing in one file for some reason)
part three-1
part three-2
part three-3

and an alternate ending that was supposed to lead into Darth Clone's Pneumatica project that I just never got around to continuing...

...I meant that sarcastically.

kudos to great stories! You've been here last two years ago, who knows maybe you'll visit in the future?

So why inhaling is so fascinating?

Let me start from the basics

Many parts of human body operate like balloons

Taking a broader look on nature - the way all cells are born include inflation. The way cells die are either via deflation or via bursting due to rupture or overfilling

It is so even for floral life - vegetation's structural strength comes from internal pressure, and trees are much stiffer than grass because the pressure inside them is much higher. Animals are much more delicate, they would pop if pumped as tight as the bushes they eat

We use all this quite real inflation in nature to construct our fantasies

Breathing in particular, in mammals at least, is performed by vast collections of tiny balloons hidden in chest, so when they fill, entire upper half of the body expands

It's not even anatomy - it is geometry

Chest expansion is especially accentuated and spectacularly visible when a mammal stands vertically and its fur is short or absent

We humans are privileged to see chest motions more than any other species

Maybe that's why breathing in comes to mind first when imagining inflation?

As for me I love it when people breathe in, especially ladies. An act of generous inhale, whether casual or in a sneeze, laughter, passion, agitation or surprise - always looks great

In a fantasy it is the way of filling by one's own effort, either willing or provoked. Inflatoray hits, and inflatee inhales. Swell dancer waves a hand - and everybody take a deep breath, those who are not inflated will breathe out and those who are partially inflated will inflate further. Laughing or gaping in surprise after drinking Sven's HeliCola or Dan's Liquid Helium will fill one quite fast

And of course - inflated exhale!

Take CriticalVolume - when he was writing Inflation Olympics breathing into another wasn't yet a thing so everyone walked with her own helium tank

Then came your Battle of the Bulge, and Inflate Club by Alec Deluxe, legalizing exhalation as the preferred way for the characters to compete and achieve victory on the pages of this community. I'm still curious who of you was The very first ^_^

Of latest stories in this vein may I point on my good friend KirbyKid/sugarhigh and his Breath Holding mechanics

Tradition and nature itself guarantee that breathing will fascinate our descendants while there are humans on Earth

This is my favourite form of inflation, hence the name. I've been collecting clips like this for nearly 3 years. It's hard to find new ones.

Overblown

As someone who wasn't around when this thread first popped up, I must admit I'm kinda glad it got resurrected (as taboo as that may be).

Inflation + Lungpower are 10000% my jam. ^_^
