hello!! i love seeing your fatshion and fat art posts on my dash :]) they really brighten my day! how do you find these posts? I've gone back to the original source of them and they aren't often tagged with "plus size" or anything :o

Hi, I'm glad you enjoy the posts. I've created many strategies to find fat positive content on this website since, sadly, fat representation is very difficult to find.

The easiest strategy is to search popular fat positive tags, like "fatshion" or "fat positive." However, most people don't tag fat representation, and many fat-related tags are overrun by thinspo blogs, fat fetishists, and fatphobes.

Sometimes I search "plus size" and another word to try to find specific posts. For example, I queued posts with a Valentine's Day theme for Valentine's Day. One of the strategies I used for that was to search "plus size pink," "plus size red," "plus size lovecore," "plus size valentines day," etc. I have to get creative like this when trying to find content of specific groups of fat people. As another example, when I want to find content for fat Asian people, I may search "plus size hanfu," "plus size jfashion," "Vietnamese fatshion," and any combination of words involving fatness and usually either a specific cultural clothing or country. If I just use normal search terms, I likely won't find anything.

Sometimes I look at popular tags like "artists on tumblr" and scroll through hundreds of posts to find a single drawing of a fat person. Usually said drawing didn't use any tags for the fat representation. This strategy is extremely based on luck and will involve spending way more time before seeing any posts of fat people, but this is one of the few ways to find posts of fat representation that weren't tagged with words related to fatness. What I would give just to get people to tag their posts of fat representation, you have no idea. Even if no one else started drawing fat people, there would be a mountain of more fat positive posts to reblog if those posts were simply tagged in a way to make them possible for fat positive blogs to find.

Some tags are more likely to include fat people, like tags for Mermay. Fat people are barely represented, but some artists are willing to be slightly inclusive when drawing mermaids. The likelihood of size inclusivity also goes up with events like Mermay since some of the artists who participate will draw a different mermaid design for every day of the month. It's hard to not draw a single fat mermaid design when a person is drawing 31 mermaids.

When I find an old fat positive or fatshion blog, I'll usually comb through the entire blog for posts. Not only do I find posts that way, but I also usually find other blogs with posts I can also queue. This ends up with me going through a chain of old blogs and why you'll see us post content that was made anywhere from 5 to a whopping 12 years ago. I usually keep at least one post from each of these blogs in my queue at all times to remind me to continue searching the blogs for fat positive content. I've had some posts in the queue of Fatphobia Busters for two years because I keep them as reminders for what blogs I need to search. For every post we share, I try to thoroughly look through the blog of the op for any other scraps of fat positivity I can queue. This is another reason why some posts stay in the queue for months or years. Since fat representation on this website is abysmal, I usually only put posts at the front of the queue that were either made by blogs I've already combed, blogs that still have posts in the queue so I can search those blogs a different day, or if the post was queued by Mod Squirrel. I don't have a lot of energy to search blogs, which is why those posts stay in the queue for so long. That's also why you may notice certain blogs being posted a lot for a period of time—they're blogs I'm safe to post without missing any content I could have queued.

Tumblr has a pretty terrible search function, and I've basically never been recommended a blog by Tumblr that actually posted fat representation. However, the one helpful function Tumblr has actually been good at is the similar posts section called "More like this," which looks like this on desktop:

It's to the right of whatever post you look at on a blog. On mobile, it looks like this:

I looked at the same post for both of these screenshots. In the "More like this" (or "More posts like this") section, Tumblr will usually include other posts by the user, posts by other blogs who interact with the user, posts with similar tags, etc. etc. For whatever reason, I'll sometimes be able to use this Tumblr function to find more fat representation. As an example, Tumblr showed me the same grayscale drawing of a fat person in both of these screenshots. That drawing was posted by an entirely different blog and with no tags related to fatness or fat positivity at all, but the "More like this" Tumblr function is the only time that Tumblr realizes "Oh, for the past five years of running and modding for fat positive blogs, you've actually wanted to see posts of fat people and not all of the posts of thin people I've suggested to you all this time?"

Sometimes I'll try my luck with certain fandoms when I know the media the fandom is for actually has a fat character or if I know that the fandom is somewhat size inclusive. There are times where an artist who draws the media's fat character also has fat OCs or draws other fat people. For instance, I'll probably have more luck finding artists who draw fat people in the Magnus Archives fandom than I will in a fandom for a media that's very fatphobic or pretends thinness is an art style, like Hazbin Hotel.

If I find a fat person who posts selfies or photography of themself, I'll look at their tags to try to decipher what tags they use for posting those photos. They may have a specific tag just for their photos, like "my face," or they may tag all of their photos with a tag like "ootd," "melanin," "cosplay," "black girl magic," "lolita," "jfashion," etc. It's also important to make sure not to share any posts that have tags like "do not reblog." If a post has the tag "personal," I'll usually either skip it or ask the user if they're okay with the post being reblogged. This is especially important for text posts about fatphobia since sometimes a person just wanted to vent and doesn't want their post to be shared. Whenever I'm in doubt, I write a reply on the post and ask the op if they're okay with me reblogging it.

On some occasions, I'll see the url or tags of someone on our posts that makes me think they may have more fat positive content. When that is the case, I'll queue posts that a follower made. Said posts are usually selfies or text posts. Sometimes this means queuing a post they made about a specific product they sell on Etsy that otherwise isn't accessible for fat people, or this could mean queueing a well-written rant that they've okayed for people to reblog.

That's basically the gist of most of my strategies I can think of. You can see that running and modding for fat positive blogs involves a lot of work and strategizing just to find content. But you can help make it easier. If you:

Tag your posts of fat representation with fat positive tags

Send posts you find of fat people to fat positive blogs

Tell artists who draw fat people to tag their art with fat positive tags

Ask artists who only draw thin people to make their art size inclusive

Make posts about fatphobia and tag those posts with tags like "fatphobia" to make them searchable

Or even just reblog posts from fat positive blogs to help spread them and encourage those OPs to keep representing fat people

By doing those things, you help us a lot and also help more fat people see themselves in the media they look at.

If you do tag your posts for this purpose, I strongly suggest using more than just tags like "body positivity." That tag on Tumblr is full of mostly porn, thin people, and celebrations of weight loss, so I've given up on looking at that tag at all and would assume many other fat positive blogs don't use that tag either.

The Robot Body Scale ranges from 1 to 10 and reflects how happy I, Zoey Gauntletqueen, would be for a robot body to be my body. 5 is the base, being the same as my current human body. It does not reflect my opinion on the design as a whole.

As much as we all love GlaDOS, I don't really think I'd be happy in her body! Sure, you control and survey this entire facility, but I don't have a proper body with which to really move around. I'm sure she could make one if she wanted to, but I probably could not. I don't know how all her tech works, how to properly work the manufacturing machines or how to design a functional robot body to be build. You're stuck in this one room, you can't even like. twiddle your thumbs! How will I stim??

My parrot seems to be trying to have conversations with me, but all he really knows is variants of 'Hi...' do you have any tips to help him say what he wants to say?

Sometimes when Ripley is feeling quiet I tell him a story or read him a book or an article. If I’m doing an activity nearby, I’ll narrate what I’m doing in detail, like “now I’ll pick up the sponge ... and put it in the water ... and use the sponge to clean up the floor.” (I say these particular words pretty often--it’s probably why Ripley says ‘you clean up’ when he sees me crouching on the floor).

If your bird interrupts with a sound you like, such as a word (or an attempt at a word), pause briefly and respond with enthusiastic interest, like, “oh, really?”

(If he makes a terrible noise just ignore him or stop talking to him for a little while. I know Ripley will always enjoy screaming but he’s really cut down on it since we all clam up and turn our backs on him whenever he does.)

I can tell your writing is good because I can hear the character's voices in my head. I actually had to go and fact-check Diamond's against canon Steven.

Haha, thank you! Writing a book is a bit different from writing a show, but I do my best to keep the voices right. That’s the whole fun of writing fanfiction for me! <3 Thank you very, very much!

…a palette for a nervous kid who likes to collect mushrooms and coins?

Though not my ask, I liked the palette so much I couldn’t resist! Only color changes are tones (for shading) and I added those lil mushrooms.

yoooo cheesy ramen slaps!!! have you ever had cheesy instant rice? actually so good

I don't think I have! Maybe something for me to try. I bought instant ramen from the store that I have a feeling is not the same cheesy ramen I've been hearing people talk about though. This is what I had:

Easy and cheap for me with my neurodivergences to handle! I hope you and everyone else enjoyed some delicious food today!

i have been trying to take more agency in my fashion as a fat guy and I am so grateful for the stuff you share!!

Thank you! I'm glad you've been enjoying the posts we share. It's sadly very difficult to find fat masc posts, so I appreciate all of the people who post photos of themselves or draw fat masc people! Tumblr needs more of that representation. Most of the time, I feel like I have to ration the posts I've queued of fat men and fat mascs. If anyone sees a post of fat masculinity, I appreciate you throwing it our way!

How does your Grey, Ripley, know so many words? My Grey is... not so verbose. He likes to hang up on me though.

Partly he’s just Like That, but he also has pretty much always lived with three to five people who will readily answer him any time he starts to babble about something, so he gets constant reinforcement. He’s good to just talk at, too, since he makes himself seem like a good listener by peppering in lots of “oh?” and “yeah!” and “hmmm” at very appropriate moments. Sometimes he will laugh at our jokes.
