#being fat is okay

[poirot]

can I just say that I’m so sick of the constant internalized fatphobia I see online 😭 why is everyone so fucking obsessed with others being ‘healthy’ lol if I wanna be fat, let me be fat and let it be MY own concern if my body weight is ‘healthy’ or not.

#like ??? #don’t get me wrong #I’m obviously not saying that being fat is automatically unhealthy #that assumption is a whole different problem with fatphobia #but what I’m saying is #even if I’m unhealthy #WHO CARES #why is it anyone’s buisness but my self’s #I don’t go around screaming at people because they smoke or drink #it’s none of my buisness #since when is it obligatory to be healthy lol #can I just be unhealthy in peace please #being fat is okay #being unhealthy okay #being whatever the fuck you want without hurting someone is OKAY #people are tiresome #the internet is tiresome tbh lol #shut up sabrina #cw fatphobia

[actual-corpse]

Really hate that most of the men who fat shame women are "disgusting" fat people themselves.

You're really out here commenting on the state of my house, when yours is falling down around you?

#being fat is okay #someone elses body does not bother me in the slightest #if youre happy. hell yeah #if you arent? make change if you can #this really isn't about how i feel #its more about hypocrisy #i think all bodies are great #because at the end of the day #i get to go home and worry about myself #its just annoying that a person can go somewhere and do something and #someone always has to have a fucking say #i dont want your opinion #i explicitly said that i do not want your opinion #waste space somewhere else #get off the internet #and figure out your internal issues and come join the big kids #im so tired #i cant sleep #and im cranky #this is why i isolate #im toxic #but i dont wanna be

I’m so happy I’m fat 🥰 I love grabbing substantial handfuls of my tummy and feeling its comforting weight 💕 I love shaking my body around and feeling myself jiggle like pudding 💖 I feel really sexy when I wear bodycon outfits and fill them out, or let my fat rolls peek under my crop tops ❤️‍🔥 I love that my my body is a comfortable place for my girlfriend to lay, and that I can carefully squash the lights outta her when she wants pressure 💘 I love that my body fat keeps me warm when the power goes out during a winter storm and our house gets down to 32 degrees inside 💗 I’m so glad that I got over my teenage obsession with staying skinny and grew into a fat and happy adult 😊

#lyla's talking again #it took me a looong time to reach this point but I genuinely love it and so glad I did #being fat is the best #really sucks for ppl who concern themselves with avoiding fatness 😬 hope you get over it soon 💔 #for the record I know I used a lotta cute and like 'hug shaped' adjacent language in this #but that's only okay when fat ppl say it about themselves don't u skinny ppl get any ideas #fat positvity #fat liberation #tw ED mention

maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

#IF you do the therapy to stop being an asshole and make a POINT of being like #''i used to be a jerk about this but now i'm not'' #..... we can reevaluate .... #btw i hope this doesn't need explanation and everyone can be normal on this post #and not be like #what if i am a DOCTOR and i was aSKED #like we all know what i'm referring to here #you're like in target and lizzo is playing in the background and they're like #DID YOU NOTICE THAT LIZZO IS FAT? #or ur on instagram and like some dude's comment is like #NICE ART BUT WHY ARENT YOU THIN #like .... okay we get it. we get it . go to sleep . go to therapy. bye. #ALSO BTW i am in recovery for an ED and im saying this AS someone with Brain Problems #pls do not clown on this and be like ''actually i'm allowed to be rude and judgemental'' #no u aren't. none of us are. having an ED is not a pass for being a fucking dick #it can make you ACT like a dick. that isn't something you should be proud of or seek to continue #hence.... therapy!!!!!!!! #i know it's kind of controversial to say it but frankly i don't believe in infantilizing mental illness #by being like ''oh they can't help themselves'' #bc that kind of thinking is .... unbelievably toxic lmafo #you might not be able to control your split-second thoughts/judgements #i have ocd i understand #but like. . . .. you know #we both know #this post is not about ''u blurted something u regret'' #this post is about.

A Message for the RotTMNT Fans

For everyone who is afraid of drawing Rise Raph because of his large body type and proportions, I am here to give you this message: I promise you, I would much rather see you try your best effort and it look a little wonky than for you to exclude him entirely from your art and doodles.

The reason I am able to draw Raph as well as I am right now is because I learned how to draw fat/muscular/chubby body anatomy in my early art career. But it's really never too late to start practicing! I encourage you, I implore you even, to take a few small steps out of your comfort zone for a bit and see where it takes you. If you want to draw him (or any favorite character from a piece of media you love, really) but are intimidated because of their size being abnormal from the thin/skinny, I want you to know that it's okay to be scared. What's not okay is giving up, quitting, or not even trying to attempt their bigger proportions at all. Because then that will bleed over into the rest of your art style/mentality, and there are aspects of your art that you may never improve on because of that. You don't know until you try.

I know it may feel awkward at first, and you may be intimidated by the pressure of getting it right, less anyone make fun of you or you get caught by peers or non-artists and be judged. Trust me, I know. I have been there! It's not a pleasant experience. But if you want to get better as an artist, you need to learn different body types. You need to unlearn the internal fatphobia that society has ingrained into your brain. You need to free yourself and allow yourself to make mistakes as you learn and practice to get better.

Raph is such a wonderful character and he deserves just as much love as all the other brothers, but I've talked to so many artists who all repeat the same thing; "He's so hard to draw." "I can't get his shapes quite right." "I don't draw him that much because I'm intimidated." You are 100% valid for these feelings, I promise. But I think it's for these reasons that you should draw him anyway, and learn his shapes, and learn to draw larger bodies and bigger muscles, because it helps you grow as an artist. And besides that, representation matters. I know there's plenty of fans out there who would love to see more representation like Raph.

So go for it. Even if you're scared. Even if you're unsure. Give yourself a little grace if you wanna draw that big lovable turtle, and do your best. And when it comes down to it, I bet that if he was real and you showed it to him, he'd love it and appreciate the effort no matter what. <3

#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt #rottmnt raph #rottmnt raphael #fatphobia #fat positvity #I mean this all in a very positive and encouraging tone #I don't want it to come off like I'm being mean or pointing fingers #but I notice Raph doesn't get as much fanart as the other three #and I understand it might be because of his proportions and body type #so idk I just want the younger artists to know that its okay to experiment and try #also kind of saying this in light of a really popular artist of a popular show recently admitting she is scared of drawing larger body type #and it reflecting heavily in her art style and character design #and if you know then you know

For everyone who wanted bullfighter Nando when I mentioned it the other day, here you go :D

#did you know bullfighters dedicate their kill to a friend or member of the public by giving them their hat? #i really wanted to draw silly vettonso where fernando offers seb his hat #seb retires from bullfighting(yeah its an au now) and fernando in his green costume is like; #'here is my hat. now will you come back from retirement? 🥺' #but yeah feel very abnormal abt that ^ and also the thing abt them having someone who helps them get into their costume as a sacred ritual #theres just a lot of thoughts and ideas floating around in my head bcs of it #anyways i liked drawing this but it was very suffering too and took me like 5 hours #its like. you see the intricate embroidery and im like ah! omg! i love painting details!!! #and then remember im not the best w coming up with ideas for the embroidery pattern itself #so pls bear with me 😭😭 mainly i was trying to reference the diamond logo of renault #but most of it kinda just ended up being austrian knots i guess bcs thats what my mind defaults to #i thought the shoulder pad would be the most difficult but that came together the easiest and made the rest actually work in my head #aaahhh also im surprised w the angle of his face! im usually not good at side profiles as well as tilted down heads #but i think he looks pretty good honestly??? #also w the sketch i just wanted to post it bcs i liked his face okay 😭😭😭 #i wanted to paint it too but I realized im so naive thinking i could paint two of these horrifically detailed things in one session #but his face 🥹🥹 i like it!!! theres some renault era pic of him i really like where hes sun drenched and angry looking #^ and i think i captured the vibe well so!!!!! #well anyways mayhe ill draw more of this. it was fun but also like sucked my life force out bcs it kept going from easy to 'I CANT DO THIS' #the pictures of matadors are just...insane to me. tiny waist fat ass flamboyant costume. im dead 🫠 #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.art. #fa14 #matador au

[spaceboitoi]

You know those smarmy posts that are like “you can’t mock an evil person’s appearance cause they won’t see it but your friend who did a Face/Off switch with Donald Trump might see it”? You can mock Musk’s appearance as much as you want because that motherfucker looks like a fantasy creature. No one else on earth looks like his ugly ass

#also those posts are wrong it’s okay to mock Chris Christie for being fat and ugly. evil people deserve that shit

[kingkatsuki]

Today I am once again thinking about biker!Bakugou. Sigh.

#seeing him come into your dingy dive bar for the first time #or being initiated as a new member into the gang #or maybe he’s the leader idk #with a soft spot just for you #or or or maybe he’s in a rival gang but you have a fat crush on him #or maybe you got into a fight with your date and he left you stranded in the middle of nowhere #so you’re trying to walk home but it’s cold and you’re tired and alone #and suddenly Bakugou pulls up on his bike to see if you’re okay

[anunfortunatekinlist]

note to marauders fandom: just cause you add a bunch of queer characters and poc xcharacters to your fanfics, it doesn’t mean your inclusive and understanding

#writing queerness and not understanding the nuance of queerness is not inclusivity #thinking that queer people can fit into your little boxes is not inclusivity #saying a character is fat then their only trait being that they eat is just mean #making a black woman’s only personality mean and brooding is not okay #writing women into fics with the only plot point being she is in the way of your gay ship is misogynistic #making a bi characters attraction the the opposite sex a negative is biphobic #not listening to the groups to write about when they state that you are doing something that makes them uncomfortable is wrong #not taking feedback from these groups when they say something is offensive is wrong #we are not your plot points we are human #marauders era #sirius black #james potter #remus john lupin #wolfstar #peter pettigrew #marlene mckinnon #dorcas meadowes #lily potter #mary macdonald #harry potter #jily #dorlene #blackinnon #lily evans #jegulus #prongsfoot #character breakdown

[lylahammar]

I think the important thing about body neutrality and body positivity existing side by side is that body positivity is a big hurdle for people who are just starting to work on learning to love their bodies. When someone's at their lowest point, it's better to say "aim for just fine," and once they reach that level of neutrality where they can appreciate the functional ways their body is serving them, it's a lot more feasible to make the jump to seeing the visual beauty of it.

#just a random thought #I've had a lot of people in my life ask how to get started on learning to love themselves and their bodies #and this is always the advice I give them #just aim for being okay with your body not good not bad just fine #appreciate what your body is able to do for you #and what it's able to survive and function with #and then you'll naturally start to build a relationship there #it's kinda like becoming friends with someone before you jump to dating #you gotta get to know em first if you want it to be a serious relationship that you build over time #lyla's talking again #fat liberation #body positivity #body neutrality

[aithusarosekiller]

Marauders fandom I have something for you!

It's an mlm ship

It's Friends to lovers

They're both in gryffindor

There's betrayal

Their relationship ended the second the potters died

One has black hair and grey eyes and the other has sandy hair and warm eyes

They can both be quite secretive

It looks like you're all still interested!

This one doesn't follow the theme but one character does become a death eater. It's alright though because Evan, Barty, Bella, Ravastan, Regulus, Snape, Draco, etc all did that too and they still have pretty popular ships so it's all cool, right?

Okay I have one more thing.....

One of the characters is plus sized!!!

Oh...why are you suddenly ridiculing me for liking this ship? How strange

#Padtail #ur all so selective with what's 'acceptable' #and the second Pete is shipped with anyone #it HAS to be as a crackship or unrequited #'we're an accepting fandom' let me see the proof for that babe #being a death eater is okay!! unless ur fat or a woman #then it's bad

[cowboyleather]

it seems as though a lot of people are taking my posts out of context? or misconstruing my intent in them. I post things specifically about being “bigger” men and such, because I feel as though a lot of transmasc representation defaults to white androgyny or really just white beauty standards in general. and that’s not realistic.

I don’t think it’s necessarily body positivity I’m trying to expose the world to though. just the idea that your body is your own to twist and contort as you please.

you’re free to think whatever you want, just know that I really do read and look at what y’all say.

#being trans is hot regardless #I guess feederism blogs are okay idk #body neutrality (?) #idk idgaf just know u don’t gotta be a twink #forcemasc #autoandrophilia #bootstrap talk #fat and obesity isn’t inherently negative can you guys stop being weird about it

[thisisthinprivilege]

Thin privilege is being the sum of your personality and accomplishments and not the sum of the purely imaginary things strangers believe you put into your mouth.

#seriously what is it with people opining over the fine details of what they believe fat people eat #leftists even do this and call it attempting to be compassionate or some crap #I have an otherwise fat positive thin friend who just posted about how she is so compassionate to fat people #and apparently that meant that she accepts they just get hungrier than she does #and backed up her statements as being something she heard in a podcast once #she's a professional writer with a high research standard but is okay with the crappiest possible sources for her views about fat people
