Guys. Guys. Guys. Please consider:
Without Love from Hairspray, but make it Mob Psycho 100.
HEAR ME OUT.
Link is Teru, Tracy is Mob, Seaweed is Shou and Penny is Ritsu.
DO YOU SEE MY VISION?

the girl is mine . -> amber von tussle
Tumblr media
✧ warnings: none !
✧ summary: amber stands up for you after you get unwanted attention from another council member
✧ ziggys notes: nobody can stop me from writing for amber she’s my pookie. also i genuinely believe that she became a better person after the movie!! based off that scene where amber yells at shelley and the song by brandy & monica ! also it’s kinda bad cause i’m getting used to writing for amber still
✧ word count: 483
✧ m.list — nav.
Tumblr media
“and that’s the wavin’ raven! we’ll back after a quick break!” “we’re off!”
“amber!” tracy called, sprinting over with her classic big smile which amber returned. “you did so well!”
she was joined by link, who added, “you’ve really gotten a lot better since your mom got fired.”
she laughed. it was true, she had gotten better since maybelle had started teaching them to dance instead of mrs. von tussle.
the three talked for a few more minutes while they had their quick break, joined by inez and seaweed a few moments later, not noticing the situation happening across the room.
“well, last time i heard from her, brenda said the father was—” “amber!” inez had interrupted suddenly, pointing across the room. “look!”
and there it was.
y/n, looking rather uncomfortable, backed into a corner by fender, a council member amber had never been typically fond of.
“isn’t that your girl?” seaweed joined in, a slight look of concern across his face.
amber didn’t even respond, and nobody could say anything else until she strutted over and gently took y/n’s hand and pulled her away from fender.
“y/n, baby, good job dancing today!” she said in a sweet voice, leaning in to kiss her cheek. “why don’t you go talk with tracy or corny or someone? i’ll be there in a moment.”
y/n only smiled and went to talk to inez and seaweed, since they were the closest to her because they wanted to get a better look at amber yelling at fender.
“that’s your girl? really? much rather she’d be mine, she’d probably be better off.” fender said, watching with a slight smirk as she walked off.
“i’m sorry,” amber began, trying to hide her annoyance under her sweet voice despite the tone she was taking on. “but you seem to be confused.”
“i’m anything but confused. i mean look at her! she’s pretty, smart, has a nice body—“ she had stopped listening after that, letting out a soft scoff.
“the girl is mine.” amber said in a harsh tone. “if you try something like that again, you’re gonna get kicked so hard in the d—” lucky for him, he was saved by corny, who seemed to have noticed something going on.
“fender, would you please help me make sure everyone looks perfect?” “but—“ “great!” corny gave him a charming smile with eyes that held a warning in them.
when fender was gone, he gave amber a look. “i know what he did was.. well, not right, but you can’t keep threatening everybody. go talk to y/n, after that i doubt there’s anybody else she’d want to see other than her girlfriend.”
amber only sighed and nodded, her anger fading away as she went to speak to her girlfriend, as if nothing had happened at all.

Here's a thought: a production of Hairspray (a musical about the US American civil rights movement in the 60s), where instead of having Mrs. Turnbladt played by a man for fatphobic reasons with some transphobic flair on the side, both Mr. and Mrs. Turnbladt are played by trans actors or actors of the opposite gender, and bump up the subtext of those characters specifically.
They are couple with a tall, husky wife that is intensely self-conscious about her presentation and how she is perceived, and a short, slender husband that also can't seem to fit in but isn't nearly as bothered by it (and is utterly impervious to the wiles of a cookie-cutter "hot" cis woman). Their daughter has been brought up to be unconditionally accepting and with a fierce sense of social justice. The T4T interpretation writes itself!
Literally nothing else needs to change in the script and suddenly the one part of this fun and funny production that never sits right is brought in line with all the other themes of acceptance and community building.

Collecting Fat Taxes
The entertainment industry owes me a Fat Tax. And the overdue balance is astronomical.
The following is what I'm owed per every offense. This is for main, side, and background characters, etc.

Tumblr media
The Fat people episodes of procedurals (Bones and CSI): 28 per
Fat character is stalker because no one could possibly love them normally: 45 per

I want 1,000 movies and shows for every article ever written about a fat person's body and how they had the audacity to be nude, even you fuck-ass feminist publications who write condescending articles about how brave it is. (Ex. Any article written about Hannah on GIRLS)
Feel free to comment with your Fat Tax and how much is owed per offense. I'm sure I've missed some
