This year we're not doing weight loss resolutions. No new fad diets or miracle workout programs, no magic pills, and definitely no bariatric surgeries. This year we're listening to our bodies, and more importantly we're loving our bodies. We do not need to be smaller to be worthy of that.
i dont know why this is such a foreign concept to people but you CAN actually have a fat character without them being slovenly, overly insecure, or the butt of every joke (self-deprecating or otherwise).
i've been so wonderfully inspired and warmed and healed by all the recent positivity here on tumblr toward soft bodies and rolling curves and glorious stretchmarks and squishy tummies that i wanted to try my hand at drawing the lovely Ms. Fell as a soft, rosy pin-up 🩷🪽
perhaps she's taking some boudoir photos for a demon she knows... maybe she just wants to indulge herself a little. either way - what bliss!
tagging @ineffable-rohese as their post the other day really kicked my inspiration into overdrive, so thank you tons for sharing your lovely words 💕 also tagging @ineffabildaddy and @foolishlovers as always for being my sweet angels
please, please create fat characters who are good.
who are strong, who are fast, who are desirable, who are hard workers, who aren't obsessed with food, who aren't stupid, who aren't villains, who get a happy ending.
create fat characters who are as amazing as the fat people you know and love in real life. representation in media does matter.
pls ppl I’m begging you. Draw fat trans people. Just saw an artist post 10 drawings, each of a different transmasc person, and they were all suuuuuuper thin, I love seeing transmasc art but please it’s such a gut punch to be already struggling so much with your transition due to your weight, and then see stuff like that that just reinforces my fears that I’ll never be able to transition because I’m not skinny enough. pls learn how to draw fat people and fat trans people. draw fat people draw poc draw disabled people please please please please
reminder: when i say fat people are beautiful and attractive and cute and hot and sexy, you are included in that statement. kill the fatphobe in your head-- you deserve to love yourself
