Description

When a character is subjected to having one or multiple parts of their body expanded. May lead to hyper situations if they get out of hand.
For when the character's whole body is growing, use body_size_growth instead. Use both that tag and this one if at least one part is growing faster than the rest (e.g. a character's breasts get much bigger the taller the character grows).
[sup]* Disclaimer: For the tagging purposes of e621, expansion only refers to the growth of one particular dimension (e.g., length, width, height) or on all dimensions (i.e., total volume), commonly through the use of magic, potion, science, etc. This concept is different from inflation, which refers to the increasing overall volume of the character or body part through the introduction of various solids, fluids, or gases.[/sup]
