this isn’t a usual ask, but today i’m just feeling particularly pissed about the way the masculine body is treated in hollywood and how stranger things perpetuates it. like the fact that not only did joseph quinn crash diet for months for the role of eddie to have a more “young” look, it was also spoken about at length during interviews. same with david harbour, even though his character had a tangible reason for it beyond aesthetic, he specifically said in interviews the expectations of his body was really damaging. i know a lot of young boys who enjoy stranger things including my brother, and i don’t want them to see content promoting the idea that someone at a healthy weight like joseph quinn needs to change his body for such a short appearance or that hopper was treated as sexier after his weight loss even within the show. this is part of why your blog has been so comforting to me, you’re very focused on showing appreciation outside of a conventional sculpted figure and masculine persona. you can totally ignore this if it’s ridiculous, but i just wanted to let you know i appreciate you 💞

Aaaaaaaweeee Capsi!!

Thank you so much for this, I agree with you, I think it's super important.

I have my blog here to present boys getting to be fat in the "wrong" ways or fat at all and appreciated. Like yes broadly David Harbour was treated as sexier in the show and in general after his weight loss, which is one thing, but he also had a super strong following before because he was masculine and fat in the right way. Early Chris Pratt was a lot like this too. But like again it comes back to permissible/expected presentations of hyper gendered fatness. I feel like all we're allowed to see are lumberjacks and bombshells. Don't get me wrong I love a bombshell and I can appreciate a lumberjack, but I am transfem leaning non-binary/gender fluid person. I love my soft feminine boyish body. I want to be able to see myself in media being happy, I want my body to valued and not just looked past. I will probably always write sex or intimacy between people with penises because that's my experience and what I'm most comfortable with, i prioritize softness, femininity, and fatness on bodies where that combination is more stigmatized, but I value all people and just want this to be a place where people can find that sexual legibility. I want it to be kind of healing. I don't know if it is or if I'm really succeeding in my goal, but that's what I want.

It's hard for fat fems, faggots, gay boys, trans girls and I just want to show it doesnt have to be only ex-jocks, and dad-bods, and bombshells, bbws. I love all of these, but I've personally felt limited in how even in fat appreciative spaces I feel like there are marginalized forms of fatness, and I want us all to be liberated.
