#up beside the greats

The worst part is that when fat people talk about their struggles with fatphobia they're expected to ALWAYS have a disclaimer saying "Body shaming of all kinds is bad uwu even skinny shaming we're all victims of the same caliber of a body shaming society!" Lest they be seen as one of those Mean Fatties who hate skinny people and thus DESERVE to be systemically seen as unhealthy and lazy by society. I shouldn't have to reassure you that, yes, if someone tells you to eat a burger they're being an asshole. because I'm too busy being told I should kill myself for looking like a whale lol

#also listen if youre young youre really lucky to grow up in the Thicc thighs save lives era because the world is much kinder to #to plus size folks today than they were when i was a teenager #its still not great but theres real options now besides $100 jeans from torrid. now theyre $60 :) #fatphobia

it takes a really long time to unlearn but there's no such thing as "cheating" or "half-assing" being a person. if you need to leave the cabinet doors open, leave them open. microwave your tea. sit down in the shower. buy the eggmaker. use your phone to calculate tip.

it's mostly fake posterity rules. who cares if you microwave your dinners. who cares if you use instant coffee. who cares if you stop watching the show that got boring. we all have a different set of skills and a different life and taking care of yourself is fucking hard.

at the end of your life there will be no final scoreboard. nobody is going to judge you because you brushed your teeth in the shower. there will be no final count of the number of times you had the same meal five nights in a row. there will be no fanfare or party because you won at being a person - and no one will be disappointed that you never understood the point of using paper towels to dry your hands off after washing them.

yeah, in this world, people will put up a fuss. i've noticed some of the biggest fusses are over what you'll put in/on your body. the fact that i will regularly eat deli meat straight out of the bag makes a lot of people genuinely concerned for me. but here's the thing: sometimes that's the only way i'm getting any protein. my doctor says i am doing fine. i'm sticking to my weird snacks and calling it deconstructed charcuterie.

they'll say they're horrified because you take a shortcut. that's fine. it's just that it looks like a shortcut to them because they're on a different life path. these kinds of things stand out to them as important. that's fine too. but for you? you've got other things that already make you pretty hard working. and these tiny things - well, they're just clutter on your journey.

#before any motherfucker is like <3 #''i know more about this and it IS WRONG to do this THING'' #shhhhh #unless ur a doctor and a patient has specifically asked... shut the FUCK up dude #one of the ways my life has changed in the last few years is like #taking coffee for granted #isn't something i can do #can you stand up for the entirety of making a meal? i can't always #and having some pompousass person be like #MICROWAVE THE WATER? FOR TEA? like . yeah actually i've been in prison for it ever since #''it tastes different!!!'' cool. it's not going into yOUR body. #i personally don't ever make hot chocolate with water. only ever oat/soy milk #but i wouldn't be like ... SIR. I WILL NOW JUDGE THEE #it's just like ableism all the way down innit #ableism and classism and #the expectation of the mental load as a form of being ''good'' #also. besides the like. pots and [redacted medical information] #im doing GREAT actually #>:) i have visible abs even when not flexing #it's bc god prefers me as a lesbian n has rewarded me lately for presenting more openly

So this took longer than expected, was planing on just listening to the episode and doing doodles like usual but then this came over me and here we are. Vaguely historical clothing is fun to draw, backrounds are not.

My last few tries on Helmetless Beast Out Gregar always felt off to me, so I wondered if I should've adjusted Hub's hair. All I really had to do was turn the "mane" into "spikes" to complete the head shape.

I can only draw it nicely a total of 2 times at once.

#I made them spikes before but I tried to keep the thickness of the original “mane” so much that it looked heavy and weird #so I went with metal man looking things and it looked instantly better #I also considered doing an additional spike towards the bottom but the shape then looked too busy #besides hub's actual hair makes up for that anyway #well anywho yeah I don't know what happens #I got such a Great Grip on the design the first few takes then I instantly forget it :) #that's what working full shifts does to your memory #but I think continuing to scribble it loosely helps :> #doodle-daas #megaman.exe #megaman exe #rockman exe #hub hikari #saito hikari

i'm curious what's your deal breaker team when it comes to following sports blogs on here? like the person seems the coolest, funniest, sweetest, with correct opinions, supports another team you love, just someone you'd definitely wanna follow... but the thought of seeing so much of that team on your dash even if you can blacklist it and try to avoid it as much as possible is just too much?

#share in the tags or replies i genuinely wanna know!! #football #nico.txt #for me it's man utd. i just can't do it man #i follow two man utd fans but one hasn't been active in a while and even when they were it wasn't a huge amount of man utd posting at all #so i didn't even see those hideous men (not you marcus) most of the time #the other also isn't super active and more of an f1 blog when they are online so again it's not like i see much utd on the dash bc of them #both of these ppl are very cool and funny and since they're not v active/ the utd posting isn't frequent i can deal with it #but like i see a blog that seems GREAT in every aspect but they're a huge united fan who posts about them a lot? that's a no #beside them inter and chelsea too but i can be extremely honest? i never find myself wanting to follow any inter or chelsea fan lol #like i can't lie there are cool united fans on here but chelsea fans? i never see any chelsea fan who seems normal and nice enough #no offense 😭😭😭 #inter eh i don't think there's many inter fans here the only ones i've seen are italians who don't post other teams (that i like at least) #so i literally have never found myself thinking 'oh man i wanna follow them but inter...' #it's united fans that fuck me up bc like there's this milan fan who seems v cool but their main team is united and sorry i just can't. #what are you doing following the best club itw and then. manchester united ?????? 😔😔😔😔😔 #i talk too much

I know we all love to say "fuck mystra" this and/or Gale's Folly (subtitled: How Could You Be Such A Callous Idiot)—but really, Gale and Mystra are primarily REALLY BAD at communicating. The whole issue started when Mystra a) couldn't provide a satisfying answer to Gale's desire for more, b) Gale decided that instead of being vulnerable and working through it, he'd do a Secret Project(TM), c) Gale didn't bother telling Mystra what said project was, and/or she only vaguely warned him off it. And then Gale rolled a nat 1 on his arcana check, and then a second nat 1 for insight b/c the DM was attempting to take mercy on him and was staring at Gale and the book, worrying 4d6 under the table while not breaking eye contact and saying, very slowly, "...are you sure?"

#there are so many problems with their relationship #primarily Gale's lack of literally anyone else besides Tara and his mom that aren't caught up in this thing #and also the power differential #but if we take mystra in act 3 at her word #she would've eventually opened up to gale #he was just too young for him to have more than a taste of what was *really* important to her #(she's a goddess—so ymmv about how important /meaningful sex is to her) #and Gale didn't mean to release the karsite weave in the first place #(NVM he somehow thought mystra *broken* or less of herself) #he was trying to give her back a piece of herself #He just entirely misread the entire situation #for the record #this is not mystra-positive #fuck mystra #and fuck all the other gods #just that if they were in a different genre besides high fantasy mythic adventure story prologue #this could've been a great comedy of errors #bg3 #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #mystra #(gosh I hope people still know what 4d6s are for...)

Stop shitting on other character x reader creators we’re already small in the dn community. Go back to hating l@slight or l@wmane and keep the discourse away from us. You’re not superior because you think you understand L better than anyone else

I think it was clear that my post wasn't shitting or anything like that. Actually, I was encouring x reader writers or people that self-ship with L to be more self-indulgent, because if you are someone he loves, why would you want to be treated badly by him or as if you are like any other person he interacts with? That's it. And that is something that applies to any character that is stated to be in love with you/the reader.

The author of the post (@/wammyhoe) responded positively, so I don't know why you should take offense for nothing more than a harmless suggestion. Whatever you're trying to do is not working. I love all character x reader writers and self-shippers to the core, and I think those who I am mutuals with know that.

#Besides. I have never claimed to know L better than everyone else #I actually go to great lengths to emphasise that what I say is always my interpretation #also... how do you know that I dislike L/Misa? You can't look it up on my blog and I've said it in 4 posts. #the last one being from a while ago. like you must've spent a lot of time looking thru my blog #or just assumed. whatever. that's not the point #it's just something I've noticed #d.inbox

reading this far (ch 870) into WCI and im genuinly confused on why using 'vinsmoke' as sanji's last name is so mainstream?

like not only is it introduced so late in the series and hes been nothing but 'black leg'/Zeffs adopted son for like 70/80% of the manga. but he is shows clearly rejecting the name so many times.

like it is SO EXPLICIT in the text???

WHY is his main tumblr tag, his parent ao3 tag, and the general way he's reffered to by the majority of people a name he hasnt used since he was like seven 😭?

#im honestly so greatful and amazed at how often and clearly he denounces judge as his father #since characters (and ppl irl) are often demonized for cutting family ties as such. even if its the parents fault as to why #yet sanji. who has been hurt so badly by this man. can confidently say that there has been no other father in his life besides zeff #not only that but more doyalistically he has been narratively /allowed to/. he only 'forgives' him for zeffs sake and even that is such a #blatent verbal backhand #god im feeling so choked up rn #he loves zeff SO MUCH. this is SUCH a good scene #psii reads 1pc #psii.txt #sanji black leg #<- not only does it match with zeff (red leg) which is so fucking cute and amazing and a testemony to their bond #but it also doubles so well as his pirate epithet? leg/kick based fighter in a black suit??? helloo?

I know 'person with secret to hide spots other person with secret to hide but doesn't say anything' is like. Thee trope in superhero crossovers, but come on! Some of these guys have been doing this for decades! There's tons of heroes that have gone to pretty extreme lengths to be Completely Imperceptible in civilian life.

Don't you think it's scarier, after all is said and done, to sit there and think I didn't notice a thing? I wouldn't have ever realised? I would never have known? To know that someone you were familiar with - close with, even! - had this whole other personality and skillset and powers and experiences and life just behind the curtain, and they hid it so completely you didn't even see it was there.

'I always knew there was something off' what if you didn't. How world shaking would it be to be so utterly blindsided? To know that this person had somehow learned to so deceptive?

#Strongly inspired by the dp x dc where Danny knows what up IMMEDIATELY or a bat clocks Danny as super suspicious within mins of meeting #Or the amount of reveal fics caused by the hero slipping up in some stupid way and getting themselves doxxed against their will #Like come on!! Full time heroes like superman or batman or Spidey go to great lengths to construct an entirely separate civilian persona! #And yes I know they've had their idiot moments when it comes to their identities but they've kept their secret rock solid for irl DECADES #What's an identity reveal without drama!! Shake it up! Stir the pot! Not a slow and gradual build up of suspicion and stress #But two high speed trains coming at right-angles and the audience is the only one who can see the incoming crash #Twist the knife in if you want. Make it HURT. Make it completely rewrite what they believed. #Short ID reveals are great for this because you can SEE the ripple effects spreading out as the story ends. Just BANG. #But also no ID reveal at all. The main character goes through the story regularly interacting with and developing character right alongside #A hero in hiding and no one is ever the wiser. You're a worker in WE fending off attempts to steal your inventions and Bruce Wayne #Invites you to his office to discuss security and he walks you back to your office when you get nervous about a break in. #You're struggling with school bullies and getting into trouble over your photography hobby and Peter Parker is right there alongside #You complaining about rich kids and fiddling with the outdated finicky lenses you got from the school. #You're a reporter unpicking a mystery scandal and you ask resident tank Clark Kent if he's able to play bodyguard if you go somewhere shady #The reader knows. No one else notices a thing. #And besides focusing on the civilian side is a nice change of pace! Let's see how they manage leading double lives! #What do I even tag this #batman #superman #Marvel #Dcu #spiderman #secret identity #identity reveal #long tags #captain marvel #miraculous ladybug #I know I know #hero and villain

SURPRISE!! You’ve been blessed with the ability to summon ONE (1) fictional character into existence for ONE (1) week! Who is it and why?

a very special very short man Exclusively From My Brain, bc he's everything to me and i think we would get along <3

#i would like to bake him a cake and tell him how much he means to me and how much he's helped me Get Through It over the years #'who is this man' thats for Me to know. yep. #but also if original characters dont count uhhhhhhh #kon el from dc comics WAIT NO I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO HANDLE THAT HES TOO BBG TO ME <3<3<3<3 #um. hm. you know! i dont think id want to! #besides my Specialest Boy of course #rambles from the bog #id be down to meet any of my ocs bc in a way i Already Know Them #(barring some choice characters bc i would not survive that encounter) #but other fictional characters... id rather view from a distance yk yk #i wouldnt like to be Involved #plus then after meeting them as Real People trying to interact with their source material would feel. weird. not great. #it would feel the same as how i feel about treating real people / celebrities as if they were characters and not. yk. People. #but my boy... we could go to a cat cafe... he could play megalovania on the violin for me... we could fuck up a cop car together....

Look. The first week back to work was fucking trash. I worked late several nights, all day on my day off, and cried somewhere in the middle at least twice because it felt like nothing would ever change... But then we had an office holiday party, and there was a Muppet themed murder mystery party, and then today I went on a big selfie scavenger hunt to find things for a challenge my grandma does every December.

And I'm so thankful for the amount of fun I've genuinely had the last few days that's made all the chaos brighter and a little more manageable. And it's a nice reminder to just go explore and be a wild child more often 💕

#selfies #selfie #I wish I had pictures from either party but I didn't take my phone out at all.. I just had a really good time with people haha #I got to be Dr Honeydew and I wore a brown vest button up white shirt and a red tie with black pants. I felt very professor/hs emo band #It was great I had to translate what beaker was saying to everyone. #I felt really hot in the black dress/maroony blazer combo too 🥰 #Also some irl dirty talk and cuddling momentarily fixed me but that's besides the point.

I'm glad to see other people agree with me on how unfair Ash Lynx fate was in Banana Fish because I will NEVER recover from that ending and I don't mean that in a good way to be honest.

#banana fish #banana fish spoilers #I like a good tragedy #But I don't like death for shock value and free cruelty #Genuinely appalled #If one character deserved to never have this ending it's Ash #Like #I love the show #I still do #And I def should read the Manga and its follow up #But the ending gutted me so badly it's genuinely hard for me to do so #Too bad #Because I genuinely think it's a great story besides that
