Booktok has gone too far we need to reclaim bikers & mafia dudes for the BEARS. For the HAIRY. OVERWEIGHT. PROBABLY BALDING GUYS.

#rev ur Harleys #nah but fr the biker dudes I know in my life are all like. 40+ men who wear like #full sets of fully patched & decked out leather #your little motor sports bike is gonna ripped to shreds under the wheel of the typical biker’s bagger. #it’s over for you #fully grey/white hair #almost always covered by a bandana #& the mafia stuff is just me being petty #idk I like organized crime in fiction becuase it’s cool to imagine how that changes the pysche of somone #& also the og mafia dudes were typically big fat guys #also older #big ass ramble #my point is WE NEED MORE BEARS

[bucketboat]

Realized just now I don’t think I ever posted these guys!

Detective & Roul, short & stout New Yorker paranormal investigator & his incubus bud who doesn’t even like sex.

both are ace & aro I feel like I should clarify.

Anyways, I should re-fixate on these guys. They are awesome & fun to draw. I need to make a good comic book kind of style for them, y’know? Like marvel/dc, but BETTER. Because it’s drawn by ME now.

#bucket art #oc art #okay & their story name is #Hound Dog #Detective #Roul #I’m so sorry for forgetting about Tumblr I’m losing my grip on reality

Oh Heavy. How are you somehow everywhere yet underrated at the same time???

Genuinely don't see a lot of people talk about Heavy. Heavy mains are so few and far in between that im half convinced theyre endangered species. But enough about the game, I'm talking about the fandom. In terms of his canonical personality theres not a lot of people Ive seen hyping him up. The most ive seen is him being a boytoy to Medic, like come on this man deserves a lot better than just being referred as Medic's boyfriend. I have nothing against the ship, but lets talk about Heavy more than once in a while, pls.

See, this man has gone thru a whole lot. He was put through the gulags as a young man because of his father being against the communist party, escaping during a fire. Him and his family have been hiding in the mountains ever since. Hes so quiet and reflective. Hes more than a big guy with big guns, he is very observant and clever. I love his hyperfixations on guns and names them haha thats really sweet. He does not have very good english, but he is very educated having a phD in Russian Literature.

Honestly I dont even know why the fandom dont talk about him. The fanfic prompts are right THERE!!! COME ON

#heavy tf2 #finally the respect he deserves

[bucketboat]

Whenever I look at the TF2 content table, the Support Trio always has the most food while me as the defense fan got the scraps. At least Heavy is basically the game's mascot atp but theres barely any love for demo and engie.

All three of them are husband material and I will shout it from the rooftop bc i know Im right

If anyone also loves these three and think they deserve more attention, we must rise up. Please I beg you, I can’t be the only one who loves them to death PLEASE GOD I CANT BE THE ONLY ONE

#all of them are underrated #heavy is the mascot of the game #but by the fandom he is almost erased #EXCEPT for heavymedic in which case he’s just an accessory #I LOVE THE DEFENCE #fave guys actually #demoman tf2 #heavy tf2 #engineer tf2 #rise up

I feel like this is a good example of amanormativity (is that the word?). Kinda.

Idk just that kissing is so common and wanted by general society that to compliment someone it’s the first thing you go to. It’s normal to just. Do shit like this without a second thought. (Yes it’s just a comment on a Tumblr post but I feel like my point still stands)

I saw this & it made me queasy (I was already queasy to be fair. Coping with my mental state Does Not make me feel good). Idk.

Whenever people assume romance/intimacy to be the norm it makes me kinda sad. That’s what I mean I guess.

This is an incomplete list of my writing that I'm going to add links to over time. My linked writing is not usually full of sources since these posts often start as me venting.

Here are some resources for educating yourself about fatness, diet culture, and fatphobia. These links are a good foundation for learning about these topics. Many of these links can connect you to research studies and scientific data if you truly need that to believe fat people are human beings.

i still can’t believe tumblr as a whole did not come out in full support for ukraine when russia invaded or anytime since like????

- ukrainians are a vulnerable population that have been frequently invaded/subjugated by russia for centuries

- ukrainians have now been fighting in full force for over two years just for the right to exist

- russia’s genocide of ukrainians is well-documented and established at this point: deporting children en mass to be adopted by russians and go through russification; deporting adults en mass and moving russians in to take their place; sweeping through towns and killing indiscriminately; etc.

like? you would think ukraine’s struggle would speak to people on this website who are so obsessed with freedom fighters and standing up in the face of tyranny

except so many people on this hellsite have a communism-boner for stalin/russia that i guess none of the rest matters

#ukraine #russia must burn

Man. this sucks.

I will not be doing any of that.

people can tag what they want but to see ed-blog stuff makes me feel sad. Pity. I guess. Anyways I’m fat & proud, as are most of my ocs 🥱🥱🥱

#Fat guys enjoyers post up #y’all know #fat positvity #is quite literally my jam

Woohoo! Another bust, just finished today, actually.

New(est, I think) oc. Evgen! The right hand man of the mob.

he does have a boss, and I have drawn him. But for reasons I cannot elaborate I will not post that.

#bucket art #oc art #man it feels good to post here again #I like it here #anyways #Evgen is cool #he’s very pretty I think #early forties? about his age #idk he’s chill

Revamps of older ocs (that I forgot to post)! Yegor, Saare & Sanaphol! 3 adventuring guys who’re in a weird polyamorous trio :3

+alt of Saare minus his headwrap.

Below is some (older) info, that I need to also rework. I do enjoy these guys.

#bucket art #oc art #their story name is: #3 Heads of Glory #I might just use that as a catch-all tag #catching up on art I forgot to post #trying to make myself feel a little better too #the isolation shit is no joke you guys #but #I will continue onwards as the sun still shines #I will be happy #this too shall pass #as they say

Idk. As an aro who isn’t exactly sure how they feel about romance (not repulsed, for definite) I don’t really feel like I belong in the aro gang.

Like it’s not that anyone is making me feel unaccepted, it’s just a personal thing, y’know?

I guess it’s the same feeling I get about when people start talking about sex and my insides start to churn. I feel like an outsider. It’s easier to identify with my ace identity because of that. But I like romance, and I’d think I’d at least want a qpr (maybe), so I just don’t feel a belonging here.

Doesn’t help I don’t really identify with any allos, -romantic or -sexual
