Porter was trying to grow huge and strong, listening to any advice he could get. The main idea he seemed to keep hearing was to play the part. If he wanted to be big, he had to act it. He had to spend every day in the gym and eating a ton, even getting the suggestion to look the part too. That thought remained on his mind until he finally decided to get a nose ring like an animal.
He didn't want to get a septum piercing, settling on getting a fake one. He found a strange site that had an animal theme to its products, his search quickly landing him on a fake 'bull' nose ring. He smiled at the thought of being likened to a big beast, but with the item sold out he found himself looking at a pig themed one. He laughed, the pictures showing the exact same product, going ahead and ordering it. He slipped it in the moment it arrived.
As soon as the ring was in place he felt a shock that seemed to travel up into his mind. He looked at it in wonder, deciding to see if he could take it out. It wouldn't budge, pulling on his cartilage and only sending more electric signals up into his brain. He felt his eyes unfocus for a moment as he grew dizzy, needing to take a second to regain his composure. He was back in front of his mirror, eyeing the loop under his nose with a sinking feeling in his stomach. He remembered he had just been doing something but couldn't recall what. He shrugged forced to move on, entirely forgetting about the ring now attached to him.
He didn't realize that his habits changed, spending less and less time at the gym and only more time packing food into his body. All he saw in the mirror was progress, his body continuing to swell with fat filling his frame giving him a new shape. He could hardly see how wide his stomach was growing, only able to focus on the width of his chest and mass on his arms, unaware of just how coated in fat they were. His belly hung lower and lower on his body as it filled with fat, a soft overhang stretching from his waist down to his groin. All he saw himself as was a healthy growing stud.
With the increase in size came a decrease in hair, only aiding in his likeness to a pig. He didn't pay it any mind, thinking it just made his gains more visible. He couldn't see that it made him look more doughy, showcasing his malleable size even further. Even with the exposed second chin wrapping his jaw, he still needed to be bigger. He hadn't realized how much the ring had changed his psyche, addicted to the thought of growing more and more massive. He may as well have been an animal, eating nonstop without any self-control. All he saw was the carrot dangling in front of him, just like the ring dangling from his nose.
