#idk if it counts as food

[vorestarr]

just always thinking about Astarion's ever-present hunger and how it's the first thing he comments on after ascension. ("I... I can't feel it. That ache in my stomach, that hunger - It's gone.")

thinking about how such a key aspect of Cazador's control and torture was keeping the spawn hungry. the seven in his house forbidden from eating thinking creatures, Astarion fed a diet of rats only, the 7000 below not fed at all.

and how Astarion's first time feeding on a thinking creature is because he's testing whether the tadpole that lets him walk in the sun also freed him from Cazador's control. how he finds himself thinking about the blood of whoever he's talking to in casual conversations. how he keeps fully draining the animals he hunts, and even drains a bear in one night. how he kills the player character when he feeds from them for the first time if they don't stop him. how if the player sleeps with him and agrees to let him drink from them during sex, it's a huge approval boost. all the little comments about his hunger throughout the game -- if you dig up the tiefling grave in the grove he remarks that it's not fresh but he'll keep it in mind if he needs a snack later, in the mausoleum he quips "bodies bodies everywhere but not a drop to drink" about the skeletons, if you read his mind before ascension he's thinking about the smell of blood all around, the examples go on and on.

it seems like such a critical part of his internal state to me. he lives his entire undead life in a state of constant hunger, and when he's finally free to eat his fill, he's also hyper-aware of how the people around him may turn on him or try to kill him for how he eats -- he emphasizes that he feeds on animals when he confesses his vampirism to the player, even when he's caught almost feeding from them in the middle of the night.

i just think that must be such a powerful motivation. this need that is constantly at the surface, that he is constantly aware of and consciously not acting on, and that was also used against him, to control him, for centuries.

and i think it's so fascinating from a character perspective that he doesn't feed from humanoids not because of any moral issue, but because he was forbidden and physically could not do it. (Dalyria tried to drink from the girl you find in Cazador's mansion and she was physically sick, retching and choking.) he doesn't drink from humanoids when traveling with the companions if the player specifically forbids it, because he recognizes he needs the party and he's willing to put up with this to stay with the group.

but he's always thinking about it.

and then all of that, plus the fact that when he confronts Cazador, he views his options as killing Cazador without performing the ritual or killing Cazador by performing the ritual. he seemingly never even thinks of the idea that he could drink Cazador's blood, and that feels pretty significant too.

#astarion #like he steps away from sex and physical intimacy when it becomes too much #but he can't really do that with food #i think about him and recovery from issues with food a lot #idk if this really counts but im tagging this with meta so i can find it later #meta #astarion ancunin

Let's make a list of all the good fat characters in media!

• Red Shoes (and the Seven Dwarfes)

• Stan Pines

• Super Mario

• ummm... Santa Claus??

That's all I got. 😞

#fat liberation #fat positivity #fatphobia #seriously it's sad how few good fat characters there are in media #Stan Pines doesn't even count if you look at it a certain way #Mario from the Super Show in the 80's was obsessed with food too so like idk

while watching nimona, my friends and I got into a huge argument about how they could have scottie terriers with no scotland and jazz with no harlem renaissance so now I too just like to drop explicit references to real world things in my fic that have 0% justification being there in the first place and i feel like the funniest mfer alive

#current kill count: #italian food #rube goldberg #boomers #the universal constants #actually obsessed with the worldbuilding in the nimona movie #idk how it is in the webcomic #but ive been having a time working out how an industrial city that size is able to keep itself fed #with no international relationships and thus no imports #yet with no visible dedicated space for farming or livestock #future tech you might say? made all in house with no global exchange of ideas or technology?? #where'd you mine the metals for that big fuck off canon of yours huh director?? #short answer is it doesn't work #long answer is #im inclined towards a lil bit of north korean style propagandist isolationism and a lil bit of 18th century dutch mercantilism #digging into this with the enthusiasm of a dog with her chew toy #stay tuned #he who controls the canals controls the universe

//Hi again.

So, the walls in our old place finally got fixed like a week before Christmas, but we continued to live in chaos bc we were convinced 2x that we were going to be able to buy a house, so we weren't really trying to settle in.

I did a 2 month long depression treatment that involved driving 30-45 minutes out every weekday to get my head strapped into a machine that tapped on it really loudly for 20 minutes. All I got was a complete absence of free time and an increase in headaches. Also worth noting that I was still living in a tarped up home for the entirety of the treatment, so the effectiveness of the treatments may have been compromised.

Due to a combination of switching from opening to closing shifts in order to make it to the aforementioned treatments, which apparently left me with lower seniority, and scheduling being the hot messes they've always been, I ended up being subjected to a dramatic increase in physical and emotional stimuli. I did not comprehend this extra overstimulation until it was too late, much like one likely wouldn't notice their pipes were leaking if their house had already been caught in a flood. All I knew was that I ended up calling out a lot more, and because I was trying to look good for a home loan, I ended up using all my vacation time to pay myself out. I had been planning to ask for a vacation at the beginning of the year just to give my mind a break for a bit, but honestly, who knows if that actually would've done anything at this point.

Thanks to the bitchiest seller's agent in existence, the house my mom and I should be living in right now got to sit on the market for months longer waiting for a cash offer bc apparently an FHA loan with underwriter's approval for over asking wasn't fancy enough to be trusted to close. Our home-owning dreams unfortunately hit a massive roadblock when the new year started, bc my mom finally had to file her last round of taxes, which decreased any loan we might qualify for to basically nothing in our state.

With the threads my mental health was hanging on by having snapped several times over by now, I finally went on medical leave in February. It just seemed pointless continuing to pretend I was in working condition given all the shifts, meals, and meds I continued to skip. Almost a month in, my mom found a new rental opportunity for us, and we started packing to move out.

April's our first month in this new place. I'm nowhere near being unpacked, and I don't know how I'm going to be when I have to go back to work (which is farther now) until I can quit sometime soon, hopefully. However, I am seeing some progress in my depressive symptoms, and I'm mostly healed from the injuries I sustained during the move-in process. Anyway, I'm obviously not in a stable enough place to completely end my hiatus, but I would like to write a bit on here again, so if that sounds fun and you're willing to be patient with replies in the meantime, hit me up, I guess?

#ooc #ed tw #eating disorder tw #idk #does it count if you're just too tired to get out of bed for food? or if you mostly eat snacks bc even microwaving can feel like too much?

[feralwifey]

I'm hungry all the time, I'm moving all day, yet I'm not losing weight. To those that told me breastfeeding makes you lose weight I hope you have a bad day

#Like why #I put so much work in #I'm not at a healthy weight I haven't lost anything in 1.5 months #I'll start counting calories again to make sure but because I'm an ex ed girl I know I'm not overeating #I eat regular meals mostly healthy whole foods animal foods lots of fat and protein taking my vitamins #Idk #I'm sad

sorry but I just need to know (you brought this upon yourself): how would you say the size of those corndogs compares to the size of Joel’s...corndog? 🎤

hi darling!!! 💖💗💖💕💗 okay, I'm not an expert Joel connoisseur, so I miiiiiiight not be correct here but let's try...

I found online that the average length of a corn dog is around 6 inches 3/8, which converted to our units of measurements would be around 16 centimeters, but I don't think Joel's corn dog would be that long?

I would put him at around 14 centimeters maximum and a bit thinner than the corn dog from the picture, but again this is speculation based on my almost non-existent Joel knowledge 😅 Joel experts are encouraged to post their own conclusions, of course

I would like to add that I might not know a lot about Joel, but I do know that he has such a pretty face that looks absolutely lovely framed by two corn dogs 😊💕💗💕💖💘💕💗 my initial thoughts went to Joonas and Niko’s corn dogs, of course, but feel free to picture your choice of bandmates next to Joel's gorgeous face 😊

jdjfshvf thanks for the ask, I had lots of fun thinking about it during my appointment 💖💗💘💕

#asks #theflyingfeeling #we're still talking about food right???? right?? jk #i didnt have headcanons about their cock sizes before but now i do and idk what to think about it #does this count as nswf? we're clearly talking about food here smh 🙄

[thefatfemme]

I can't remember a time when my mom wasn't on a diet. It makes me really sad.

#thefatfemme #My sister and I never stood a chance at having a healthy relationship with our bodies or with food #Neither of our parents could teach us how #And with the holidays upon us it's weighing on me #Mom skips dessert at almost every holiday and it's not because she doesn't like sweets #Dad counts every calorie and skips meals to 'save up' for the big family dinner #Idk it's just really sad #fatphobia #body acceptance #fat acceptance #intuitive eating #family #holidays #diet culture #Diet #Tw diet #calories #dieting

Have you tried any foods that are 'american foods' that they dont have in england? Is so what ones and what do you think?

If not, do you plan to?

ive definitely been to american food chains that we dont have in england but a lot of the food is shit that we have lol. the closest ive come is american biscuits which is just... a scone. but ive been told i cant say that for fear of being publicly stoned

#we're really trying to get to waffle house if we can so that's defo on my to do list if that counts! #yeah idk what would be an 'american' food that is distinctly different than something ive already had lol #ask #rwbt 2.0

Hate these styling vs wearing posts so much. Like I get it, but it's not a set of finite (and somehow still extremely arbitrary) rules that, if you follow them just like the tiktok girlies said, you'll look good. Style is understanding your own body and proportions, and then wearing things that make you happy and that fit your body in a way that gives you confidence! It's the confidence in your appearance!! It's the joy in decorating yourself because it's your body!!!

#idk dude #it's giving 25 step skincare routine #it's giving calorie counting instead of just eating your food bc some fitness turkey who you will never look like #told you that you Can look like them if you just try harder #also do much of Style is based in Not caring if you're doing trends correctly you know? #like all the youth asking about how to achieve goth/punk/grunge Aesthetic with none of the community engagement #this is part of why i dropped out of fashion school in 2008

Me cooking dinner for everyone (all my Ryan F/Os) Ken has to come by with another plate and I’m like “didn’t I just give you an entire burger” and Ken says yeah but he needs another because K took his food and then Luke says “yeah he ate my food too” and K is at the table in tears shoving spoonfuls of fresh veggies and meat in his mouth openly weeping “I’ve been eating nothing but instant protein-grub noodles and rice for my entire life Please just Let me Have This I Beg of You”

#i burn the eggs by accident he says no problem and still eats them saying they’re amazing #meanwhile ken is having trouble trying to eat the food that isn’t plastic #he’s like what do you mean I can’t just imagine taking a bite. oh god. this burger is huge. how do I fit my mouth around it #Six is absolutely housing an entire stack of pancakes all by himself in the corner of the room he’s not letting anyone have it #Colt is butting heads with him #no I don’t know Colt yet but he’s included. what food does he like? don’t know yet... MY COOKING #I can’t cook for shit but I’ll learn for my hungry boys <3 #that was painful to type I’ll never say that again Lmfao #i make apple pie just for driver bc I know he likes it #driver nuzzles me the entire time I’m baking he’s snuggly asf. he’s exhausted too #stayed up all night on a getaway job. knows I stayed up all night having nightmares and being unable to sleep again #he gets it. he doesn't force me to try to sleep he knows i can't. but he encourages me to lay down after cooking #and to rest my eyes for a bit. and then it turns into a huge snuggle pile #we've got [counting on fingers] one two three... ten... a dozen Gosling F/Os #one of my best friends says it's like a flock of baby geese following me around SLKDFJSLFSDF #so fucking cute #Luke is canonically snuggly. idk Jacob or Holland yet... I'd want them to cuddle too #all of them are trying to have contact w/ me in SOME way once we're snuggled in bed #Ken's gotta hold my hand and put his head on my tummy HE'S GOTTA. or he'll PERISH #Lars isn't one for touch very often unless if he's the right person. I am that Right Person #but he will still just hold my hand and let everyone else do the full body snuggling #K's sitting up just like Six is when he's resting. alert. protective #Six is relieved he doesn't have to tie his shoelace to the door or worry abt intruders. he can just fall the fuck ASLEEP #they've all got full tummies and maybe some of them chat with each other #while others are like SHH LET KERI SLEEP. but im like no no your voices are like angels to me pls keep talking #esp Luke and Sebastian their rasps will lull me easily #love notes

i can't even eat most fast food in the US but i will never stand for a person in the UK shitting on american food. not after the mexican food week on great british bakeoff. i've seen what horrors you people can wreak on the most innocent and simple of food items. i wouldn't expect you to understand the complexities of regional hamburger flavors

#that said i remember friendly's having the best fast food from when i was a kid but idk if that really counts as fast food #oh to experience the epic highs and lows of mexican food week again..that was the craziest shit i've ever witnessed on my television screen #also i think they should have all been skewered for the flagrant racism in addition to the shit food. total disaster overall #text
