#not too tight but not too loose either

When you’re too scared to buy a binder for 2-3 years because of your transphobic/homophobic parents so you decide “fuck it ima make one myself-“

#I think it works well for now #only it gets annoying cuz I used Velcro to keep it together and it keeps coming undone #first time I wore it it felt suffocating but damn made me feel sm better #not too tight but not too loose either #but if I make another one ima make it with a zipper this time #maybe make it prettier or a #something with straps #freshie txt #shitpost #I’ll buy an actual binder 1 day #just too nervous to ask for 1 rn is all

yall i spent a good hour tryna figure out how to crochet a chain stitch (i was following a tutorial) and let me just say.. what the fuck

#talkin #im a simple man... i just wanna make my fiance a hat #and crochet a penis plushie #if i can figure out how to do that i can die happy #or at least less miserable #i think my tension might be wrong and im either holding it way too tight or entirely not tight enough #bc i either cant get the hook thru or my chains are loose and sloppy #i may also need thicker yarn but most of the worsted weight we sell at work is wool and im allergic i need cotton or acrylic

[professorllayton]

I can officially knit AND crochet.... not well but physically I can do it

#crochet is fine now except my tension is still real off .. it's either too tight and i cant stick the hook in #or its too loose and its just very wonky fisnfkbaks #only a couple times ive got it right and its very hard to continuously get it right rn fjsbfkqndmbs #blabs

why is the costuming department on this show so wack though. why doesn't buck seem to own a single outfit that looks like something a human being would actually wear

#that man is always in either a polo or a t-shirt with a fuckass shirtjacket. and not a single one fits him right #and they're always over too-tight jeans or too-loose khakis. always. whadda hell #this extends to all the main characters actually they all dress like complete maniacs when they're not at work #(except hen sometimes. not all the time though. she has a pair of green pants that haunt me) #it's like. times these characters are allowed to be hot: 1. when they're in uniform 2. when they're in formalwear #times these characters are not allowed to be hot: every other moment that they're onscreen #911 abc

Hi, I’m sure you didn’t mean any harm but I wanted to let you know that it was really sad and upsetting to see your comments about longing to be smaller under art celebrating fat bodies. I don’t want you to be unhappy but also it sucks that you felt the need to derail a piece of fat positivity with your negative emotions.

I hope this doesn’t seem mean, more than that, I hope - more than you know - that you learn to find peace with your body as it is now. Whether or not you ever lose weight (or gain weight, or fluctuate for the rest of your life) you deserve to be happy in the flesh you inhabit, right now. Today. Not when you’re skinny. Not when you look right. Immediately, and with no conditions, you deserve to be happy. No weight loss will ever feel as good as happiness that isn’t tied to external expectations of your body.

If that isn’t possible for you yet (which is fine), then I at least hope that you be a little more considerate about when and where you share your negativity, and that you choose not to broadcast them in a way that undermines the work of those people who don’t share your current views towards their fleshbags.

I don't recall which post I responded to that spurred this ask, but I am sorry that I caused someone else pain here. I try not to vent on other people's posts, and I broke my own rule.

A lot of the fat positivity stuff I see around here makes me feel really uncomfortable. It reminds me of my own body, with which I am not really on speaking terms. It reminds me of the frustration that being heavy causes me, of the health problems it's exacerbating, of how much trouble I have managing my eating in a healthy way. It reminds me of the things I want to do that my weight prevents.

It's also complicated by my gender dysphoria, which only makes me feel even MORE trapped in a body that fits wrong.

It makes me feel like trying to change is futile, that I'm doomed here. I don't WANT to "find peace" with my body as it is now. To be honest, having you wish me that makes me feel sick and angry, and I'm not entirely sure why. It feels like you're asking me to ignore things about myself.

#body image #venting #ask #i can mute fat positivity tags but people don't always tag things #I fucking hate being biological #I hate that we know so fucking little about medicine #I hate that we can't fix ourselves when we break #I hate that we die #I try not to bring negativity on Tumblr but heaven knows I often fail #sure I deserve to be happy #but I want to be happy in a body that fits better #a body where my feet don't hurt #a body where clothes fit #a body where I don't feel like I'm taking up too much space and where my pants aren't always either too tight or too loose #I fucking hate being fat #and most of all I hate that I haven't been able to stop being fat #that I can't control my own actions long enough to just eat less and exercise more #guess this is self loathing but it's loathing for a very specific part of how my brain works

me, gritting my teeth after trying to do a magic circle for two hours: i love learning new hobbies i love learning new hobbies i love learning new hobbies i lo

#crochet #this is so difficult omg #im either holding my yarn way too tight or way too loose #and the yarn keeps falling out of the hook GWRAH #but i want to make nice handcrafted things and i hate having to hold two things when knitting so crochet it is #im only on like day three though i shouldnt be so harsh on myself xoxo

I think it's funny how i wear a very regular ass outfit one day and then the next in wearing t shirts and jeans and then the next im wearing very bright colors with earrings in the shape of blueberry cows n shoes that don't match the outfit

#i really just decide an outfit on the amount of energy i have #like if im really tired and my brain isnt working i pick a tshirt either a work one or my own personal and jeans #if i wanna be comfy i pick black swishy pants and a more neutral top that's also swishy #n i know they say wear tight with loose and loose with tight but i dont fucking care im too tired #and then if im feeling more cutesy that's when i get out my overalls and dresses and bright yellow cordouroy pants #then im wearing funky earrings #i just think it's funny like what do i coworkers think jdkdkskwkkskw #little windows

GUYS THERE’S A THRONE WARDEN T SHIRT ON ETSY

it’s only in kid sizes unfortunately

but. I am very small, so I have ordered one anyway >:D

#the wingfeather saga #I check etsy and the wingfeather store frequently for ANYTHING new #it has paid off this time #12-year-old me had no idea how great it would be that I stopped growing she wanted to be tall aklhgjad #almost-27-year-old me is THRILLED to be so smol as to be able to buy kid's t-shirts xD #I will let you know how it fits #I ordered a kid's xl because I didn't want it to be tight #last time I got a kid's large online it wasn't too small but it wasn't loose the way I like it either #we'll see how this goes xD #I impulse bought this 5 minutes or less after I found it #this is as close as I can get to peet/artham merch and I WILL have it xD

[amochi]

The worst part about having curves with no bust is that I can’t get dresses that are any smaller than a small but the smalls are too big for my chest area

#like I wouldn’t be able to fit into an xs but I have no chest to fill out the upper part #I have this issue with jeans too #cuz my waist is so much smaller than my hips #either it’s so tight around my thighs and super loose at the waist or super tight at the waist and way too loose below #thoughts

[autumnhobbit]

'wear properly fitting clothes' well I would love to, but if they exist I haven't found them yet

#every single size is either too big or too small #an xl in underwear never fits so i get a 2x & it hangs off & causes chafing #an xl in shirts looks really loose and baggy but an l looks way too tight #can't cram my ass into a sixteen in jeans but an eighteen falls off constantly & even some sixteens fall off constantly #trying to clothe my build sucks

[aemoonie]

where do all the girlies find those baggy pants that are still high-waisted?? all i can find are low waisted pants everywhere now 🤢

#it's probably an optical illusion bc fashion girlies are always like 5 ft and i'm too tall to wear low rise as high waist #😞😞 #it's been years and i'm still searching for the perfect baggy pants #but to no avail #they are either not baggy enough or they don't fit around my waist (too loose) but if they do then #they don't fit around my thighs (too tight) #what does a curvy girl have to do to find some decent pants HUH #😵‍💫 #( 💭 ) !

TL1000S peed a little coolant on me to show its affection

#motorcycle stories #this hose clamp is either too loose #or it gets tight enough to slice through the 1000 year old coolant hose #there will be no in between #I should add pictures to these posts but I never have the presence of mind

ok but it was super funny today when my sister asked me to kinda explain some autistic traits and at the end she just said "so do you have autism?" 💀

#like yes autism with a sprinkle of adhd would explain a lot about me imo but girl how do you know that #sure i literally cant stand 90% of soups bc of the consistency and i cant eat food if theres too much sauce #and sure friendships dont really deteriorate over time to me so meeting friends from school now is only awkward bc they make it awkward #and i always gotta make sure that even when i know ppl are jokingly mispronouncing an english word that they know the right pronunciation #and yeah i could probably eat the same three to four meals for the rest of my life #and i cant stand clothes that are either too loose or too tight and my fingernails always need to be rly short #and yea when i was into hp i knew the names of basically every character by heart and a fuckton of the spells too #and theres a few specific subjects that i know a weird amount of stuff about #but why would anyone ever think im autistic lol #at this point i should probably get a diagnosis but germany is weird with autism and idek how youre supposed to go abt getting a diagnosis

Would a watch still work on your ankle? itd be quite the look

LOL

#me contorting to see the time... #i sometimes do okay with a watch but ive got chunky wrists so it either has to be too tight or too loose

[miss-floral-thief]

Messy bc I have large scissors but not fabric scissors

#personalice #that’s on me for only having the tailor hem it #she #did ask #me if I wanted to cut it #but I assume she was going to hem it #to the pants completely rather than a flap lol #well #either way sitlll loose but better that than too tight #better for pjs than going out but yeah

I FINALLY MEASURED MY FEET PROPERLY AND YEAH I JUST HAVE BABY FEET

#I have baby hands too this shouldn’t be a surprise #I am a small man #so we all expected me to grow a lot more than I did (asthma <3) so my parents were buying me like size 9 shoes when I was 13/14 #except I basically didn’t grow past age 15 and now I’m 5’6 #(5’7 probably but it’s so much funnier to say 5’6 and it makes people nervous when they’re not actually much taller than me) #so I’ve been wearing too big shoes my whole life and didn’t realise this until a couple months ago!! #which meant I ALSO got skates that are too big for me and have been destroying my feet bc they’re either too loose and I can’t skate in them #or they’re too tight to make them manageable but it causes intense pain after a few minutes #so! I decided it was probably kinda important to measure my feet #and I only just realised I could use two flat things to remove measurement error #and yeah measurement error was HUGE like a full size bigger than this #also turns out my feet are different sizes which is kinda wild #they’re a half size difference which is a pain in the ass #but all of this does explain a lot! #god I’m gonna be so powerful once I have shoes that are the right size #cannot WAIT to see how I skate when my feet aren’t literally being crushed #leaving a note for future me that left foot is size 7 and right 6.5 #I’m gonna buy skates now >:) #luke.txt
