As someone who ships Chaggie as well, I want your opinion on this.

Someone made a kinda good point about Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship; the point being that there’s a power imbalance between them. Charlie is the princess of hell. She wouldn’t physically loose anything or be hurt physically if she breaks up with Vaggie. But Vaggie would loose both the love of her life and her home and friends if they break off. And so they see this toxic dynamic because Vaggie is “walking on eggshells” in order to stay in Charlie’s favor and not getting on her bad side.

So….thoughts?

The problem is people who say these things treat the terms "power imbalance" and "toxic" and "unhealthy" as the same things when they are not.

There is a power imbalance, yes, definitely. I constantly make jokes about the fact that Charlie and Vaggie have a forbidden love story in a Boss/Employee HR violation kinda way for pete's sake. It's just a lot more funny thinking about the fact that that probably has more weight than the demon/angel situation.

But the thing is, no matter what Charlie will ALWAYS have a power imbalance with whoever she dates because she is literally the princess of Hell, as they have said. Even if she dates a fellow hellborn royal, the fact that Charlie is in a higher position of power will always be a fact because her parents are literally the only ones above that. So what? Should she just not date anyone??? Also, isn't the one has a higher position of power but still loves the other a super popular ship trope? Rich x poor. Royalty x commoner. Goddess/immortal x normal human. Popular in school x the social loser. The list goes on. So why is it a problem now?

The fact that they think Vaggie "walks on eggshells" around Charlie is a bit...? I'm just a little confused you know? Vaggie is definitely not afraid of Charlie. When they had their fallout, she wasn't afraid of losing the things she was dependent on Charlie if they ever broke up(i.e. a home, her safety, money etc) because Vaggie damn well knows Charlie wouldn't do that. Everyone in hell knows Charlie goddamn Morningstar wouldn't do that. Vaggie was merely afraid of losing their relationship, which is a perfectly normal thing to be afraid of. Vaggie's dedication to Charlie isn't rooted in fear, it's rooted in devotion in the name of what she thinks the person she loves deserves.

The thing that makes Chaggie so great despite that power imbalance is the fact that Charlie is an absolute sweetheart. She isn't the kind of person who would take advantage of that power and Vaggie, as someone who knows her so well, is perfectly aware of that. Vaggie is safe with Charlie in every way that matters, and this is where toxicity and the unhealthy elements come into play.

Charlie and Vaggie as individuals have all the ingredients for an unhealthy relationship. As Husk so plainly pointed out, Charlie would rather fix everyone else's problems than help herself. Meanwhile Vaggie has deep self-hatred that seeps into how she feels about everyone but Charlie. They're both the type of people who would rather think about others rather than themselves. This is the root of their codependency, and why their relationship can be quite unhealthy. It's extremely evident with Vaggie, which makes perfect sense since she probably never saw herself as a person before Charlie.

Those flaws can so easily be taken advantage of in a relationship, but the thing is, do they do that? Do either of them think the other ever would? As Rosie did say...

While Charlie likes to shoulder everyone else's problems, Vaggie looks at the love her life and decides she'll take some of that load so she doesn't get crushed under the weight of the world. Vaggie reels Charlie in by being the realist to Charlie's dreamer. Vaggie used to essentially be Heaven's living weapon, but she has now sworn to be the armor for someone who looks out for everyone but herself.

On the other hand Vaggie's self-worth is shrewed because she's an ex-soldier who thinks she should always be under someone's service to be deserving of anything. But here Charlie is who constantly calls Vaggie her partner and blatantly treats Vaggie as an equal and still loves Vaggie "more than anything" and doesn't doubt that Vaggie loves her in return even after finding out Vaggie's lie and true origins.

So are they good for each other? Maybe not, but there's still more of the show to see. They can be unhealthy, but not to the point that being together damages each other in any significant way. Their relationship is imperfect, which is fine. No relationship is. Especially not in fucking HELL. And perfect for a story because, yunno... They are still in an ongoing story. They aren't a lost cause yet. It's something they can develop from, something we can get to SEE them develop from.

Are they toxic though?? Are they harming each other physically, emotionally, sexually, or financially? Definitely not. Because although whether they're good FOR each other still remains to be seen, it is an undeniable fact that they are good TO each other, despite all the ways they could not be. The unhealthy elements are due to how they treat themselves, but their relationship can't be deemed toxic because of how they treat each other. And for now, that's what matters and that's why I love this ship.

#asks #hazbin hotel #chaggie #as fun as writing this all down was #and it was it really was #I can't help but think about how frustrating it is that this needs to be said #we can't just say that we think this canon ship is cute and that's why we like it and have the conversation end there #instead we have to make an essay to explain ourselves 😞#like dang it aint even that complicated

It's just the way Kazuma loves Ren. It's entirely all consuming and self-sacrificing for the sake of pleasure with such this feeling of someone loving someone that is so much better than them on some invisible scale that they would willingly blind themself, deafen themself, just for the chance to be there with them in that moment.

And that's absolutely heartbreaking knowing that Ren loves him in return but sees the situation entirely differently, watching him on a different kind of pedestal, both of them placing the other entirely out of their reach but in way the other person doesn't recognize. @absolutebl This show is going to kill me.

Just the weight that Ren has been carrying this whole time, the entire world of guilt on his shoulders that Kazuma has no idea about, that Kazuma would be horrified to know he thought was true....

Again and again with both of them placing the other on a pedestal of love and warmth and brilliance and brightness. Both Kazuma and Ren look at the other and see someone that is better than them, perfect to and for them, someone that they cannot ever have and cannot ever deserve to be close to.

Ren is just here, ripping my heart out. To himself, even to this day, he is convinced that Kazuma must be straight, must not like him back, must have been hurt by his choices. And no matter how much Kazuma pulls him back into his life, seeks him out, tries to keep him... Ren goes back to this trauma, these answers, this pain and this fear and this loss.

And now he knows that Kazuma has been looking for him this entire time.

The sheer weight of the guilt that Ren has been carrying... that he thinks he forced Kazuma, that he is the reason he got sick, that both their parents think he did this, that he got disowned, that he is so scared Kazuma will die and it will be entirely his fault...

But to see that Kazuma has been searching for him this entire time. That Kazuma wanted to seek him out again and found him with so much joy and so much love and now they're doing everything together and he's just barely holding himself together by a thread. How much can one person hold without sharing that part of himself?

The sheer joy they find in being together is so overwhelming but it's also a cover over so much pain, a thin coating of joy over years of agony and loneliness and desperation and the only hope is that the joy is enough to start healing, that the joy and the love can hold them together when everything beneath the surface begins to break down.

And let the momentary boyfriend era begin!!!!

Boyfriends.

But also just absolutely glorious. The chance they can take to love each other, to be loved, to be together, even though there's so much behind them that they need do discuss.... there's still comfort.

(The pedestals they have each other up on, the love they have between them, the absolute agony of looking at each other and seeing the person they've loved for so long but not realizing how much they are loved, wanted, needed, adored, in return.)

Far too much love. Far too much. How dare they.

Disgusting.

More please.

At some point, all of this is going to have to come out into the open. They're going to have to actually talk about the past. But the more love and the more understanding they share now... the more hopeful I am for them to be able to understand each other in the past.

(Ren is going to break Kazuma's heart when he finds out what he thinks happened and I am going to break with him.)

This is related to the Season Finale/Child abuse thing somewhat, but also kind of tangential so I thought I would submit it in an ask instead of a reply.

It's worth examining that it's *largely* because of TA's own bile that we had this S5 situation as an 'endpoint' and writer's intent. If we stripped all of his commentary out of the equation there is still some stuff, but ML undercuts it as well.

Chloe is framed as a Villain? Felix was a Villain until he was a hero, with about 2 minutes between the two.

Everything framed as her fault? Well, ML has a history of swapping framing. Mari's antics were farce for 4 and a half SEASONS, then poof, now it's Trauma. Without TA's word, reframing Chloe from 'She's evil!' to 'Well actually no one paid attention and she's been a victim' would be easy. Heck that's Felix 2.0 but with more weight to it.

ML loves it's twists. Burying a character to pull them back out in a 'You didn't think we'd do it!' moment is right up their alley.

If we look at what's put *on screen* it *feels* like the writers are aware of what they're showing, of how she's being abused and no one sees. Yes they crammed Marinette's mouth full of TA's tweets about how Chloe has no problems only privileges, but again, without those tweets it's just Mari being unable to see things from someone else's PoV, which is normal for her. (a very reasonable Achilles heel)

All of this could easily be building into something, if we didn't have TA warbling on the internet. Though, it's worth noting he once warbled about Felix too, and 🤷‍♀️

Not that it matters that much, since a topic like this *especially aimed at kids* is time sensitive. You can't run a 4-5 year arc in a kids show without some payoff in the middle. By the time you go 'no wait, we were just setting up for this!' your demo has aged out, or gone through something where that information *would have already been helpful* and your incomplete lesson might even have them acting on the misinformation you've left them with.

It's just... kind of baffling.

I don't know if this is something you'd want to touch on in your finale review,or just answer, but it struck me and I figured it was worth sharing.

I get what you're trying to say, don't worry.

The show has always shown it believes in a "good victim, bad victim" mindset, and nowhere is it more obvious with Chloe and Felix. It doesn't matter how poorly Chloe is treated by her mother, she's seen as bad, so she deserves it, while Felix doesn't deserve to be abused by his father at all.

Put aside the fact that it's easier to connect with Chloe because we actually see her abusive parent on screen, it's clear that both of them are victims of terrible parenting, but for some reason, only Felix is allowed to be seen as an actual victim of child abuse.

sdgjkal idk if this is the type of meta you'd want to write but I admire so much how knowledgeable you are about GROWING STUFF and about BAKING and I love the fandom's penchant for giving Shiro post-war hobbies to keep the PTSD goblins at bay so like, aside from strictly building headcanon situations i would love to hear your thoughts on his hobbies as META, like, thematically speaking, what will heal, how does he approach it, how does it relate to creativity and growth !!!!!!!!!!

I have been ruminating on this a lot and I hope my answer is something that actually answers your question! it's at the very least the start of a conversation. I give Shiro the same hobbies that I have, in many ways - fiber arts and baking and gardening - because these are the things that I use to hold on to living in a physical world, sometimes by the skin of my teeth. by my fingernails. It's hard to have a body and to be a person, and I always have the haunting sense that Shiro struggles with that in the wake of the war: in the wake of being a prisoner, who had to fight to survive; in the wake of having died and been caught inside the astral plane, becoming a ghost to himself and to others. I don't actually relate to Shiro very much, which is funny because in many ways I think I have a similar approach to responsibility that his character demonstrates (slightly resentful, but determined to do as good a job as he can, given the circumstances, even if that job is sometimes done poorly). The reason I grow a garden, or knit, or bake croissants, is because going through the motions is ultimately convincing to me. I am convinced that this action holds weight. The hat I knit for someone is a commitment I have made to keep them warm, the quilt I sewed when my nephew was born as a way of saying that I wanted to welcome him into a world that was more terrifying than not. These things take the burden of living off my shoulders and grant me some small measure of satisfaction, and I hope that in my writing I'm able to convey that Shiro is open to and deserving of this kind of satisfaction. That he is willing to put in the work that will help him survive and thrive. It's not a sense of ambition, exactly - I get the sense that pre-Kerberos, Shiro was very ambitious and somewhat idealistic - but it's a a kind of hope that has to be held in gritted teeth. Sometimes those teeth are gritted in a smile, sometimes not. But it's the process that matters. It's notable too that even if these hobbies are considered creative, they still have a quality of repetition and practicality; it's following a pattern. Directions for being a human person. Soup is either very creative or very boring, but either way, you'll be fed. Part of this too is my resentful, core belief that I am here on this earth and I should help other people while I walk up and down in it! And sometimes the only way to do that is to make someone dinner. I think that having some small kind of saving-the-world task to fall back on, after being a DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE, after being a champion of a gladiatorial arena, after being a star student in a quasi-military space program, would be a relief. Domestic work feels meaningful to me because it is the scaffolding of everyday life. (I'm not going to go into the religious baggage that I have from my upbringing here because it is too much, but I think these things are important even though for many years I was told domestic labor was the only gift I had to offer. And it was not a gift I wanted to give.) Still. There's something comforting about making something new out of very insignificant parts. I want that little bit of comfort to be present in Shiro's postwar hobbies, because I want all of the paladins to have that mundane experience of grace. Of waking up and getting on with things, not because the universe is at war, but because -- I don't know. You love someone so you're going to knit them a hat. And they're alive to wear it.

In light of everything going on with Elli and Helena and Christine and the whole publishing department, I wanted to make a post as a published author about how to best support creators, particularly authors, in the digital age. I'm going to say upfront that there will not be links in this initial post, but I'll reblog it with links. I just don't want this post to get suppressed. It's amazing as an author to see all of the love and support going to Elli and Helena right now, because that is so incredibly rare to see for creators and it makes a huge difference. I genuinely think that based on how quickly SSE has responded indicates that they're listening, so keep up the pressure. So lets talk about a few things to help even more.

First and foremost, follow authors' socials! This is the most obvious, but more followers means a bigger reach and on some platforms is required to have access to certain features (like Instagram used to require a certain follower count for links in stories). And engage with their content when they post it! Shares and reblogs have the biggest weight with content interaction, so it is massively important, not just liking posts.

Second, stay up to date on their other projects so in the event of things like what's happened with SSE, the creators are still getting support. Are y'all following Tistow? You should! It's really good. What about Helena's original horror stories? I'm not fluent enough to read Swedish books yet, but I've heard only good things. Creators are rarely just a singular franchise or IP, so if you want to support them, make sure you're checking out their other works.

Third, and this is chiefly for authors, leave reviews!!!!!!!! This is incredibly important. Did you know that Amazon won't recommend a book until it has at least 50 reviews? Not even confirmed buyer reviews, just 50 reviews. Reviews are MASSIVE (and that's not an under-emphasis) for the visibility of creators. Even if it's copy-pasted on multiple platforms, go leave reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, and whatever retailers you're picking books up from. It makes a serious impact.

Now, I'm not saying that if all of y'all left reviews on mass for the SSO books and comics (where you can) and following these creators on all their socials would fix everything about the situation. To say the least, even if SSE does reestablish their publishing department, this mess happened in the first place. So please expand your support for these creators beyond just their SSO based platforms so that regardless of the outcome, they get back on their feet.

Again, I'll be reblogging this with links and socials, so let me know if you find any I've missed and I'll add them. But genuinely, seeing this for other creators is so inspiring. At least for me, and I can't speak for Elli or Helena or Christine, but this is what so many creators hope for, a community that cares so much about them and their work that they'll speak up about it and loudly. Imposter syndrome has been such a common trait with so many creators I follow or have met, and the visible, tangible proof that people care about you cuts incredibly deeply in such a positive and healing way. It's not just a silly little horse game's books and comics. It matters. And even if it's not for me, thank you for being good to creators because they deeply, deeply deserve all your love and support.

#star stable #star stable online #starstableonline #ssoblr #starstable #sso #sso blr #woj writing #i really hope they bring back the publishing department #elli and helena and christine deserve better #and also some biased reasons that I hope could still happen

My main take-aways from Zach and Keith's conversation on the latest TryPod episode, for anyone interested in one woman's Thoughts And Opinions:

I truly commend Zach, Keith and Miles for approaching the podcast with some level of humour; whether it's a case of "if we don't laugh, we'll cry" or after a month, they're ready to make jokes or they simply wanted to maintain a level of normalcy for us, the audience, I appreciate the levity of certain moments. Zach, for the love of God, get that dishwasher fixed!

The fact that Keith referred to the grieving process as being cyclical and he kept/keeps going through it... Man, I truly feel for him. I think the more time they have to process the various levels of Ned's actions, the more it'll happen. The whole process must traumatic to go through and I truly hope it'll get easier with time.

To hear Keith, Zach and Miles comment on how the stress of the situation has affected them was heartbreaking. Keith's anxiety about being in public and having to discuss it, Zach putting his self-care on the back burner, Miles losing weight... They don't deserve to be going through it like this, especially because they're not the ones in the wrong.

There was genuine concern from Keith and Zach (and we cn probably assume the same for Eugene) that any of their personal/side projects would take a knock-on hit as a result of this situation; it seems that not only were they worried that their own reputations would be tainted by association but Zach voiced that he was worried that a short film/writing project he had planned might not go ahead now as a result of having to take the time to address this matter instead. I cannot stress enough how selfish Ned's actions were; he put everyone else's career at risk as well as his own.

Given the way the entire podcast they seemed to be truly careful about what they said and how studious and meticulous it sounds like they've been throughout the entire process (farming out the HR review to a 3rd party, legal advice etc.), they must be genuinely concerned about legal repercussions and the potential for any lawsuit and claims against them. Whether that's because they really want to do this as by-the-book as they can or whether certain parties intimated that they might take legal action remains to be seen. I give the 2nd Try team full props for covering all their bases and protecting their brand and staff going forward.

The damned statements. Zach and Keith made it clear that while they let Ned see the public statement they posted to social media in advance, they never saw his. They also made it *very clear* what they thought might have been Ned's motivation behind making both their statements look as though they'd been created and posted in concert: they believe that it was a calculated move on Ned's part to give the subliminal impression that there was a level of synchronicity and support between the two parties where clearly none exists.

Zach states that what Ned did was a "workplace violation". From that, we can infer that there was definitely something in Ned's contract or in the company paperwork that told him that fraternising with any of the company's employees in a romantic way was a big no-no. He knew what he was doing was wrong. He knew what he was doing went against company policy. He knew he'd get fired. He did it anyway.

The announcement that Eugene will be taking a step back from the podcast wasn't a huge surprise. The guy is incredibly private and guarded and I always got the impression that being open and vulnerable in the podcasts was a little uncomfortable for him. I look forward to his guest appearances!

I'm glad they're not ruling out Ariel remaining on the You Can Sit With Us podcast and that they're more than happy for her to take as much time as she needs to heal and get into a better headspace; that the door is always open for her.

The not-so-casual shade Miles threw at "a certain employee who would always walk out" during the Advice That Will Go For Miles song was truly a thing of beauty and if you didn't stan him before, you should for that alone

This might not be the end of the situation - perhaps in the future when the dust settles and the legal side of things has been locked up, we'll get more information - but for now I'm glad that the boys have a chance to take a breath and move on. As a fan of the Guys, I'll still be watching and supporting them. They haven't lost an inch of ground with me and I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

#the try guys #the trypod #keith habersberger #zach kornfeld #miles bonsignore #ned fulmer #honestly FUCK THAT GUY #bry rants

Day 3: Secret Lover 9 Days of Lancaster

Jaune and Ruby are college students, they have been dating for a while and they had move in together. Tonight, Ruby went out to meet her family while Jaune stayed back at home. Wearing his comfortable pyjamas, he settled on the sofa and started watching some TV shows, completely at ease. Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Suddenly, the front door bursts open, and Ruby storms into the apartment, her face filled with panic. She opens her mouth to scream, but it comes out silently, as if she's desperately trying to keep her voice down.

Ruby:(whispering urgently) Jaune! You're gay! You are gay!!

Jaune is taken aback by Ruby's words, confusion written all over his face.

Jaune: *stammering* Wait, what? Ruby, what's going on?

Ruby quickly begins to explain, her voice low and rushed, her anxiety palpable.

Ruby: *whispering* I need you to act gay in front of my family. They don't know that we're dating.

Jaune's eyebrows shoot up in surprise and concern.

Jaune: *sincerely* Why should we lie to your parents? They deserve to know the truth.

Ruby's expression turns desperate, and she pleads with Jaune.

Ruby: *desperate* You don't understand. My parents have no idea I'm dating someone older

Jaune: *defensively* But I'm not that old, Ruby. I'm only 21 years old!

Ruby looks at Jaune with a mix of guilt and anxiety.

Ruby: *quietly* I might have had grade acceleration in school.

Understanding dawns on Jaune, and panic washes over his face. He was screaming internally

Jaune: *concerned* Don't you think it's still be better to tell them?

Ruby: *anxiously* No no no, Dont do that Jaune. My older sister is a professional boxer, and my father was a veteran soldier. They have a history of fighting and assault charges. It's not safe for us to reveal the truth.

Jaune: *Taken aback* WHAT?!!!

Ruby went over to the door to let them in

Jaune:*Clearly panicking* Ruby wait!! This is too much to go on a whim!!!

She opens the door to let her father and older sister, into the apartment.

Ruby: *excitedly* Dad! Yang! So good to see you! Come on in.

They all hugged each other and as they entered the room, Jaune, walks up to them with exaggerated gestures.

Jaune: *enthusiastically* Ruby, you didn't say anything about bringing a Daddy! You're lucky to have such a handsome father!

Tai raises an eyebrow, seeming a bit irked by Jaune's comment.

Tai: *slightly irritated* Uh, thanks? Nice to meet you, uh...

Jaune: *with a playful smile* Oh, where are my manners? I'm Jaune, Ruby's fabulous partner.

Tai's expression shows discomfort, but he tries to remain composed. Yang, on the other hand, seems excited and convinced by Jaune's act, noticing his pajamas.

Yang: *amused* Well, Jaune, I can definitely see your fabulousness. Love the choice of pajamas!

Jaune:*playing along* Oh, these old things? They're just my fabulous loungewear. Comfort is essential, you know.

Yang was giggling and intrigued while Ruby watches nervously, her eyes darting between Jaune, Tai, and Yang.

Ruby: *trying to divert attention* Dad, Yang, why don't we all settle in? your room is just around the corner, just put your stuff in then we can talk

They all move to their room and for a brief moment, Jaune releases a sigh of relief and finally takes a breath. He gathers the courage to address the age gap once again, expressing his concerns.

Jaune: *filled with concern* Ruby, I just want to be clear again. How old are you now? You're not a minor anymore, right?

Ruby: *reassuringly* No, Jaune. I'm already 19 years old. I'm not a minor anymore.

Jaune's face reveals a mix of relief and newfound awareness.

Jaune: *realization dawning* So, when we first started dating, you were....

Ruby: *Reassuring* what matters now is that I'm no longer okay..

For a brief moment, Jaune's stress lifts, but the weight of the situation quickly settles back onto his shoulders.

Jaune: *stressed* And how long are they planning to stay here?

Ruby: *nervously* They'll be staying for a week, Jaune.

Jaune: *increasingly stressed* A whole week? Ruby, you want me to keep it up for a whole week?

Ruby's heart fill with tears, realizing the toll their secret is taking on Jaune.

Ruby: Jaune, I never meant for it to be like this. I'm so sorry for putting you through this.

Jaune: *stressed out* Ruby, I love you, but right now you're making it very difficult

Ruby pecks Jaune on the cheek, a gesture of gratitude and apology.

Ruby: *whispering* Thank you for doing this, Jaune. I appreciate your sacrifice, I promise I'll make it up to you somehow.

Body positivity: fat self shippers version

Howdy! If you fall under this category, please do me a favor and think about all your different types of f/os (romantic, platonic, familial, queerplatonic) reminding you in so many different ways that your worth as a human being, your right to enjoy your life however way you see fit, your inherent inner and outer beauty as an irreplaceable, loveable person isn't reliant on your weight.

For those with romantic f/os

• Think of your f/o constantly taking any and every opportunity to praise your looks.

° Think of them calling you that praising adjective that really gets to you i.e. Handsome, Gorgeous, Stunning, Adorable, whatever the adjective is, they use it freely and mean it every time! Doesn't matter it you're dressed down or dressed up, your f/o is constantly in awe of you!

- If you ever feel comfortable wearing outfits that show some skin, please know it'll fluster the living daylights out of them not just because they're seeing you so confident but also howdy??? Have you seen yourself?? You're STUNNING how could they not be in awe of how attractive you are???

• Think of them ALWAYS so eager to kiss and hold you in their arms if you're comfortable with that or if you prefer, eager for you to hold them!

° Whichever way you prefer it, your f/o is simply glad to be close to you and share that intimate space with you and you alone! You're their entire world! Think about how often they long to kiss you when you're not around and how visibly excited they get when they see you after being apart, how they rush to you without a single moment of hesitation, merely wanting to be with you again!

• Think about them holding you / you holding them close and them telling you as many times as you need to hear it that they wouldn't change a single thing about you and that they love you as you are.

When they fell for you they didn't just fall for your heart and mind, they fell for your body too and they consider themselves lucky that you reciprocated entirely.

°Think about them asking how they can prove that to you. Trust them to tell them what they can do so they can do it. It's what you deserve.

For those with platonic f/os

• Your platonic faves are ALWAYS down to hype you up when it comes to your appearance!!

° They notice when you're feeling confident and when you're not feeling confident- they're your besties, they know your body language. Whenever you feel confident they're always ready to praise you for it and when you need a confidence booster who else is better for the job that your friend(s)??? You can rely on them to remind you of how fantastic you look!

• They love going clothes shopping with you when you feel like it and of course they'd never try to take you somewhere that doesn't have your size! Your friends love you and are already ahead of you when it comes to doing the research and scoping the place out.

° They wouldn't ever want to put you in an embarrassing situation or make you feel like you're the issue when it's 100% NOT but instead is the store's!

° If you let them, your platonic f/o(s) are so honored you trust them to help you find clothes for yourself that make you feel comfortable, confident, and stylish!

For those with Familial F/Os

• Your sibling f/os may playfully make fun of your taste in music but they will never make fun of your weight. Never. end of story. And if anyone else did they'd be the first to try and fistfight that person on your behalf. Nobody makes fun of their sibling.

• Your parental f/o(s) love you for who you are and how you treat others, not how much you weigh. When they show pictures of you to their friends, they beam with obvious pride, just so pleased and honored to call you their kid because they love you and your worth to them is priceless

° If anyone ever says a single bad thing about you because of your weight in front of them, they WILL go on the defense mode and happily call that person out for being a bigot / shame them into next week no questions asked how dare that person talk ill about their kid???

• If you're happy with the weight you're at, then your parental f/os are happy, end of story. As your parents their only concern is that you're comfortable in your own skin; they love you unconditionally.

° If you're unhappy for whatever reason and are taking safe and professionally approved steps towards adjusting your weight, your parental f/os are only concerned about:

1. You not growing frustrated with yourself. They want you to try and be patient- these things take time. You're still as handsome/beautiful/lovely as you were before and that's never going to change.

2. You doing anything that isn't safe for your body. Your overall health is 100% more important to them than you losing weight and if you ever doubt that please read this as many times as you need to:

Your parental f/o would never shame you for your weight. They would never say or behave in any way to make you feel like you need to lose weight to earn their love. You have their love because you are you, because you chose them, because you are theirs.

If anyone feels so inclined to add to this imagine with more fat selfshipper body positivity things, please do so!

I only ask that nobody includes any sort of negative self-image comments in the tags. This is a positivity post.

Hey, I'm wondering what's the whole deal with your oc Magiajam? What are they like?

Oh! Ok so

Magia is a lot.. Different from others that are considered divine, I'll explain their backstory first to make this more coherrent [and to give tumblr a better explaination because I realize I don't tell you guys enough about anyone other than Bast]

So! They were born of the magic of paradise, a god formed from the very energies of the most divine and holy place in the universe, on the younger end of the pantheon too. They started out as a small ball of flame that grew with their element [magic]-

Though while they remember paradise as being this perfect, unimaginably peaceful place... They did have one person who'd always, ALWAYS ruin their day. Raver.

[Raver is my evilest oc and I have ABBADON]

Anyhow, Ravers the god of chaos and trickery and as a kid the only one who he could pick on was Magia because they were the only one younger and thus not a threat. So he'd constantly steal their food, trap them somehow and dunk them in the water or pick them up with his tail hand and just generally bully the poor thing. This.. Caused Magiajam to be somewhat of a recluse, hiding in burrows instead of socializing with the other gods which made them crave attention, but they were scared to look for it for a time.

So they would do things for the other gods, they gave Aradite her wings, they gave Faye a sword, they were just... The guy you go to to get things, really. That's all anyone ever visited them for, anyways... But don't be fooled, they were egotistical even despite all this- all gods were. They thought themself the strongest greatest thing in the entire universe and that they should be recognized goddamnit! [and they they should be allowed to maul Raver to death- wait what]

So, after some planning, they thought up the best way to get the recognition [and love] they deserved!

They'd challenge the matter gods.

Now.. The matter gods, they're the strongest beings to ever have sentiance, stronger than the one they were spawned from... Void Termina. The very embodiments of their element, the matters which make up every single thing in the universe... Nothing can fight them. Nothing except maybe a Kirby and the power of friendship and Love [and an incredibly pissed off catboy who dragged his kirby to beat their asses but that's way far in the future- and in an au]

So Magiajam, drunk on their own power thought THEY could take them down. They didn't want to take over- they didn't wanna shake things up.. They just wanted attention. In that fight, they made one fatal error- they wanted to win so badly they went all out in the battle and accidentally destroyed a bit of paradise and disturbed the peace- waking souls and scarring the land.

This is considered an unforgivable sin, to disturb the peace in the holy land of bliss. And so,

The matter gods went all out as well. Taking control of the poor things body and slamming it hard to the ground, spearing them with hundreds or thousands of heart spears so they could torment the mind until Magia physically could not fight back and even until they were crying and pleading for them to stop, they would not. They tore off their wings and said let it be a lesson to the rest of the pantheon. Do NOT cross the four matter gods.

Then, Magia was banished from paradise, thrown far across space, far far until they landed on a hellscape planet known now as Halcandra, there they cried and cried, their flames burning cold and small under the weight and despair of their situation- they had just been banished from their home. The birthplace of a god is perhaps the most holy place one could have, without it... They're not whole. They were separated from their origin- like a small child ripped away from their mother. A hole in their aching heart that could never be filled.

However, when their divine tears hit the boiling surface of the planet, they formed into the first halcandrians, who mewed for their gods attention and pulled them out of their hysteric state.

The god had no idea what to do with them- why they couldn't look after a whole species- they didn't deserve to raise one anyways.. They were a monster. only monsters were banished from paradise.... But, they wanted these little cats to have the best chance possible at life, so they taught them about how to live, how to survive.. How to use magic.

Their heart hurt too badly for them to stay long, and they ached to return home, to paradise... They didn't want their creation following them in their metaphorical pawsteps though, so they did something they thought would stop the pain... They tore out their heart, and threw it into a volcano, which turned their heart into a mortal halcandrian known as King Jorrolor, the first king of Halcandra. They'd put him in charge of leading the species, a good leader who would protect and nurture them- then, they left "to find paradise" and redeem themself

They tried. And tried. And tried to reach paradise again- but when they finally found the gates they were turned away and harshly talked down to- they could never return, they could never redeem themself.. And now, the paradise gods lead by Raver would decide it easiest to take their anger out on them, harass them- over all the banished god would become the others punching bag and take the title of the "evil god" by the rest.

From then, they'd drift across the universe, granting any mortal who could find them a single good natured wish- because if they made all that effort to find them, they deserved something in return...

Magia doesn't want to be seen as a god. Not by the halcandrians that worship them, not by anyone. They don't deserve it and honestly? They just want.. A friend. To be treated normally and as an equal- not lesser like the gods see them, not some untouchable divine force like mortals view them- as just another person who is alive.

As for their personality now, I'd say they're very sweet if not a little bashful and anxious, they have panic attacks and suffer ptsd from the beatdown the matter gods gave them but if you can get past that they're kind, gentle and warm, they find comfort and fun in mundane tasks- they can be sarcastic at times though or irritable depending on circumstance. They're a lot nicer than any other gods you'll meet I can promise you that!

Also by warm I mean both personality wise and literal. In mortal form this fucker is basically a living space heater- or an ultra fluffy cat that's been sleeping in front of a heater for seven hours. God form is made out of literal magic flame so don't touch that though unless they're sad [they're cold when they're sad]

Uhh, got anymore questions! I'd love to hear em!

13 ways to say 'i love you' with seventeen

pairing: g!n reader x seventeen

warnings: hurt, comfort, lowercase for the whole post

note: please do not copy my works!! reblogs and likes are appreciated!!<3

got the ideas from this post!

tags: @dinosbestie @odetoyeonjun

m.list

using their body to shield you from the wind. - seungcheol

he already placed your hands in his pockets with heat packs and his own

he would simply turn and face you in the direction the wind went

giving you a smile, acting as if everything was okay, and continued doing it for the rest of the night

rest of the members under the cut!

guiding them away from a situation that makes them uncomfortable. - jeonghan

either making you laugh or assuring you

he would divert the topic

your discomfort is unfamiliar and he does not want to counter it again

quickly changing the subject to something you like more

brushing a stray strand of hair out of their eyes. - joshua

he would brush the hairs off your face

he wants to see your whole face, every mark or scar

he somehow falls even more in love every time as he studies your features when you talk

shielding their view from something scary. - junhui

wrapping a protective arm around you and turning you away

he does not want you to suffer, the thought hurts him already

he would show his protectiveness from his tight but assuring grip and the warmth he radiates

hugging them as they're crying.- soonyoung

hiding his head in your shoulder

letting you know how much he loves you

how he would be your light in the darkness

he would let you relax in his touch and let your weight fully rest in his and let your emotions come out, tears, rage, he would take it even if you take it out on him

he is your comfort source.

letting them lay across your lap to read. - wonwoo

he would also place a hand on your waist

his presence is already comforting, as you read in silence

he would adore you from time to time, your reactions to certian parts and growing heads over heels for you.

learning to play their favorite song on an instrument. - jihoon

he would learn the song and practice till it's perfect

he would play it for you

he just wants to see that beautiful smile of yours

its something he would treasure especially if the cause was him

bringing them their favorite tea when they have a sore throat. - minghao

he would keep extra tea bags or leaves around the home

he would drop whatever he was doing to make you the tea

he would already feel happy when he sees you enjoying your tea

a small grin on his face as he pats your lap

cuddling in bed for longer than usual because its obvious they need it - mingyu

no words need to be spoken as he just takes you in his arms

he won't mention if he realizes you secretly cry

he justs wants you to know you are not alone.

looking at one another in times of happiness to share smiles. - seokmin

either a big or small achievement

seokmin would not let it go unnoticed

bringing a smile to your face, giving you the credit you deserved.

listening to their favorite music artist to try and better understand what type of music they like. - vernon

no matter what genre, any language

he'll study them like a book

he wants to like what you like

seeing how your eyes go starry as you talk about them makes him smile

he wants to see that more, seeing your face change when he mentions about them

if you are happy, he is too.

Softly placing a hand on their chest to feel their heartbeat. - seungkwan

seungkwan is not big on affection

but he needs that assurance to know that you are there and that you are with him

it calms him down--the steady beat of your heart.

believing in them when everyone else doesn't. - chan

he would give you words of affirmation

that boost of confidence would always come from him

helping you calm your nerves

being there to talk it out and be there for you when no one else can

is there any reason to recover when you have a shitty family and no friends? there is nobody to celebrate when i eat a fear food. instead there is just "dont eat too much you don't want to get fat"

there is just denying me food and taking mine (classmates)

classmates share food with everyone else, but when i ask they say no, for everyone they can eat but not me, i dont deserve it

what is the point anymore

My heart goes out to you, because it is so hard to heal when the environment you're in is making you sick.

You're asking if there's a point to recovering in the context of everyone around you. Of course there's a point to recovering - for you, not for them, so that you can feel happy and good in your own mind regardless of what they're like! But it's easy to feel like it's pointless when your environment has conditioned you to feel this way.

I suggest you take time to focus on you, as much as you're able to anyway - focus on your recovery in the context of yourself. Don't share your eating habits or successes with your family members. Remain as minimally engaged as possible in conversations around your body, eating habits, and weight. Then, extract yourself from the situation as gracefully as you can manage and tell yourself whatever you need to hear. That their shitty commentary is not your fault. That you can build better for yourself than they have built for you. That one day, with hard work, you will cultivate a much healthier environment for yourself.

When you eat a fear food, celebrate it by yourself. Learn to love yourself and be your cheerleader and best friend. (Feel free to message this blog and tell me - I might not be around to congratulate you immediately, but when I do get to my inbox, I promise I will care!) See if you can find any online support groups for ED recovery, so that you will be less alone and may have access to more advice and community. Support groups/forums about toxic family and friends might be helpful too as you might be able to learn some strategies for how to build a healthy environment for yourself once you're able to build some boundaries between yourself and toxic influences. It takes a lot of time to learn how to do it. Stay patient with yourself, and if you don't find the right groups right away, keep looking.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this isolation at school with no supports at home. My best suggestion is, when you're still in this school, keep food items from home stashed in your backpack, and keep your backpack on your person at all times. Or keep it stashed in your locker, but only nonperishables. You don't want it to rot and develop an odor. Instead of seeking friends in a toxic environment, just survive until you graduate. Engage in practices like art and writing in order to connect with yourself, vent, hype yourself up, and just learn to express your experiences. It will not cure the loneliness, and I know loneliness can be crushing. It can help you feel like you don't have to seek love from a loveless environment. I heard a quote to put it in perspective - going to a person for a love they're not capable of giving is like going to the hardware store for oranges. No matter how desperately you ask for oranges, the hardware store will not give you any. It's not your fault - you didn't stock the hardware store - but continuing to seek oranges here will yield you only disappointment.

Hang in there, learn who you are independently of the toxic people around you, be as kind to yourself as possible, and research what you will have to do in order to build the future you want. It may be a future in which you have some distance and limited contact with your family members, or don't go back to your old hometown. I truly wish you the best of luck.
