i feel like i could write an entire mini-essay thing on why draconification rules as a narrative thingy + why it, the dragons and the thematic of immortality/undeath are so relevant and impactful towards botw/totks characters and themes as a whole. like i WONT because it really is just text thats already there. but i could .

#i loveeeee it. its so miserable and tragic and so fun for my brain to munch on #i am learning that miyazaki (fromsoft) tends to include dragons and humans wanting to Become dragons as a common theme in his work #theres this futile pursuit of immortality and the punishment of it (often humans being trapped in ugly half-man-half-draconic states) #or they become wyrms who are trapped to roam the earth with wings that aren't even large enough to fly and support their own weight (hubris #and of course the entire loss of identity that comes with all of that.. its rebirth in the truest sense of the word. nothing is left of you #in botw/totks case too. defying death but losing everything that made you who you were. are you still dead? are you even truly alive? #its interesting too because of how sacrificial its portrayed in botw/totk. it really highlights the unwitting nature of the whole thing #OKAY ANYWAYS. elden ring and fromsoftware good. i am just constantly loz brained also #personal.txt

seeing people on here unironically talk about trying to lose weight gives me whip lash. I thought we all agreed that was a fruitless pursuit promoted by profit seeking demons who seek to destroy the body image of everyone on earth by fear mongering about fatness

#theres like a way thin people talk about it in particular that irks me #like that post thats like 'this is FED summer! no weight loss! if a guy doesnt like you when youre 15 pounds heavier he sucks' #like.... love the sentiment but... 15 pounds? what if they dont like me because im 100 lbs to fat for them lol #thats a post abt weight loss in the opposite direcetion of course but still has the fingerprint #of thin people talking about a subject theyre just kind of. out of their depth in

Omg

Weight loss does not automatically mean your body is eating your muscles and organs. The antivaxxer level of anti science on this site when it comes to weight loss is unbelievable.

Your body will only start "eating" your muscles if you're losing weight AND YOU DONT NEED TO AND ARE HEADED TO BEING UNDERWEIGHT.

WEIGHT LOSS CAN BE SUSTAINABLE. WEIGHT LOSS IS A VIABLE AND SOMETIMES A NEEDED OPTION FOR SOME PEOPLE.

HUGE REMINDER THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WEIGHT LOSS CAN HELP DISABLED FOLK ESP FOLK WITH CHRONIC PAIN. It's not a cure-all but people with chronic pain experience large amounts of inflammation in the body and having excess adipose CAN cause inflammation just by itself. Compound that with extra weight on joints can make movement that may already be difficult even more difficult.

And while I'm on this rant, I'm SO sick of people acting like overeating and binging aren't disordered eating and also forms of self harm. I'm sick of the "body positive" activists who get SO mad that some fat people HAVE become fat through overeating and binging and want to talk about it. Like why can't those of us who gained weight through disordered behaviors actually talk about it? Why don't you talk about or let others talk about the fact that some people go from a restrictive eating disorder to a binge eating disorder.

Reasons Why I a Disabled Person decided to lose weight:

1. I knew I was eating too much junk food and not eating enough fruits and vegetables. So I started working on moderating how much junk food I was intaking and I have been trying really hard to make sure I choose healthier options.

2. My chest was/is too big. It was beginning to cause actual dysphoria issues along with the excess weight giving me constant shoulder and neck pain. Weight loss cannot be targeted at any specific part of your body, but overall weight loss can help you lose cup sizes.

3. The food was making my chronic pain worse. Many ultra processed foods are known to increase pain in people with chronic pain and it's been proven in multiple studies that eating a healthier diet can help decrease pain. It won't get rid of it, but it can help.

4. I was using food as a maladaptive coping mechanism. Stress eating is not actually helpful in the long run. Sure it makes you feel better while you're eating it, but once it's gone the problems, the pain, the stress is all still there.

5. I want to be able to use my crutches and KAFOs more often and having already lost a fair amount of weight, I can definitely 100% say that I have less difficulty using them than when I was at my heaviest. It's easier for myself to push myself in my wheelchair, and it's easier to propel myself in sled hockey. Among this, getting a bigger chair was just out of the question when I last ordered my most recent chair. The world is already so hostile to wheelchair users and spaces are already so narrow, it's easier to have a smaller chair if possible. Like we can talk all we want about how things need to be more accessible and universal design needs to be implemented everywhere so people in all sizes of wheelchairs esp those in power chairs, can get around easily without this being something to worry about, but at the end of the day, I want to be able to get through as best I can, and making sure I'm not going any bigger with my wheelchair is legit just something I have to do.

And you know what, even with all of these reasons, there's still the fact that people deserve bodily autonomy so if I want to safely lose weight for ANY reason, then that's my choice.

#weight loss #dieting #anti science #istg so many people on this website need to stop listening to anything a tumblr user says and taking it as fact without ANY research #if youre actually curious about the way ultra processed food can negatively affect you both physically and mentally #you should look some of this stuff up #and for the love of anything look up medical research and not random people selling body positivity courses #ableism #disability #and if you care about anorexia and orthorexia then you should also care about binge eating disorder #and stop hating on fat people who are fat because they have dealt with overeating #like its not morally wrong to be fat #but it sure is morally wrong to be judgemental and not ever let fat people who overeat talk about their lives and disordered eating #sorry not sorry for the super long rant #i just was not expecting the first thing i came across was a pile of complete anti science bullshit masquerading as body positivity #anyways i hate the body positivity movement #its always been shit to disabled people from the beginning and its literally turned cult like #body neutrality #cripple punk body neutrality

i haven't really seen people talking about this on here, just on twitter, but there's a new drug (or rather a family of drugs) rolling out that's meant to treat diabetes... but is being taken by non-diabetics for weight loss purposes. this drug doesn't actually change anything about how your body works, it just suppresses appetite. obviously there are a lot of concerns around this - we have no long term studies! diabetics can't get it because dieters are buying it all! thin is gonna be in again! - but it's so wild that this is described as a "miracle weight loss drug" and not "an eating disorder in a bottle"

because the problem with an eating disorder isn't that you feel kinda hungry all the time. it's fucking organ damage from starvation. making the big flashing warning light of hunger go away is just a means to super charge this process. people who have started taking it (notably these are mostly already thin people willing to pay $700-$1000 a month to keep off ten extra pounds) say things like "i felt so normal because i wasn't thinking about food all the time!" as if thinking about food all the time isn't, again, a huge warning sign that you aren't eating enough.

but moreover.... fuck man. the users describe not eating less, but losing all interest in food, even food they used to love. restricting desire is no longer enough, it must be cut entirely from the body. that's how i used to approach food and eating when i was really depressed. i knew my cat was dying when she wouldn't eat the gravy i poured for her. it's almost sick to watch people approach hunger and pleasure that way, but sicker still to know the price is screwing over diabetic people, potential organ damage, $10K a year, and approximately ten pounds of your real human body.

#luckily babes you can get the ten pounds of flesh back bc as soon as you stop you gain the weight back #bc of course you do. it's not a weight loss drug. it's a medically enforced diet. and diets. as we all know. work every time. #eating disorder tw #disordered eating tw

thoughts based on this anon to @queermania

no but really they should’ve had jack have to kill Michael!dean and not be able to bc despite telling Cas he’d kill dean if it meant saving the world from Michael when it comes down to it he. Can’t :( that’s one of his dads ! And he knows dean wouldn’t fault him for doing it. He’s right when he said it’s what dean would want. Oh self-sacrificing dean. But jack can’t do it, so instead he uses up all his power and burns his soul to expel michael out of dean and kill him. And hey, sacrificing souls for family…that’s something dean understands too. He doesn’t Like it but he gets it. Then later, the parallel to this comes around when dean’s gotta kill soulless!jack but he can’t !!! Jack tells him it’s ok, he understands. Just like dean understood why he needed to be killed as Michael!dean. But that’s his kid!! So he tosses the gun away bc he doesn’t care if jack doesn’t have a soul, he’s still worth saving, still worth loving. He’s still family. And, god, they really do love in similar ways. Anyways dean gets down on the ground in front of kneeling jack and pulls him close, hugs him to his chest and says, “it’s ok, I got you, kid.” And THEN, chuck burns out Jack’s eyes while dean’s holding him, powerless to do anything. And dean shuts his eyes instinctively at the burst of light and he hears Cas’s anguished scream shake the world and he doesn’t want to open his eyes, thinks if he keeps them closed it won’t be real. Anyways, it all could’ve been done SO much better and for maximum grief and despair. Esp during the divorce arc to have them BOTH deeply mourning jack instead of having all of dean’s grief be focused on Mary which, tbh, didn’t really fit.

#sorry but like. yeah Mary’s death affected them but she was already there on borrowed time thru a loophole #she wasn’t *meant* to be there so I think in some ways dean would be like. ok with it #like the universe has righted itself again #of course he’d miss her and feel grief but not to the extent of cutting out jack and Cas #plus lbr he barely had a relationship with Mary. like yea that’s his mom but more in title than anything else #everything he knew abt her was myth #sure he’d mourn the loss of what could’ve been and of getting to know her better #and they were finally getting to a better place w each other #but still imo Mary’s death was blown out of proportion and didn’t hit right narratively #like the weight of it was not felt and did not feel equal to the fall out and aftermath #vic.txt #spn meta #the good spn that lives in my mind

Had a salty meal last night, so I'm not worried about the weight.

Making last week's taco meat into this week's veggie chili. It is in the crock pot.

Pic below is my lunch, and my wild outdoor cat.

Did a 5k on elliptical on my lunch break.

Yes, the cat came in. I don't like him outside & it is bitterly cold. He was following me around as I did chores.

i think starting monday i'm going to make a sincere effort to eat better and go for walks and lose a bit of weight again.

#not like an enormous amount. 15-20lbs would be optimal over the course of many months #i can just feel that my body doesn't like being this weight even though i'm not big. i just feel sluggish and wheezy. #weight loss tw

[robinsnest2111]

...and another metaphorical punch 🙃 at least it's kinda funny and ironic this time lmao

#e.d. blogs liking my ootd posts 🙃 #this is taking my mind silly stupid places #at least i can somewhat laugh about it now. when i was deep in e.d. land myself as a teen i wanted to be thinspo so bad #got over that a couple years ago and of course now that i'm dealing with chronic illness induced weight loss AGAINST MY WILL #i am suddenly loved by the e.d. community???? i know this is what teenage me wanted. BUT I AM NOT THAT GUY ANYMORE AHHH #fucking ironic if you ask me 🙃 #but ultimately i put my photos up on the internet for people to see and i do not get to choose what others get out of them. so yeah #hoping against all odds that they just like my outfits and aren't liking for the thinspo (which i am decidedly NOT)

[headaching]

i find no camaraderie with formerly fat people who constantly talk about how much of a sad sack of unloveable shit they were when they were fat. for some reason

#like im not saying they can’t have complicated feelings about their body because of course #but when i see people who lost a significant amount of weight publicly trash on their old body im like. #who are you posting this for lmao #like hate your formerly fat body in private all you want i really don’t care. but leave everyone else out of it #does anyone else know people like this or #ask to tag #cw weight loss

[bigolbadblog]

help... the guy i dominate wants me to be his "Overseer" while he works on losing weight

#weight loss tw #like. okay. obviously there's a lot going on in this situation. #let's set aside the hilarious mismatch of interests (he doesn't know anything about my interests and that's my design) #and establish the fact that of COURSE he is entitled to do whatever he wants with his own body. #do i have an ethical responsibility to talk to him about how weight loss diets are ineffective hooey at best & harmless bullshit at worst?

#I do just be scrolling through shorts on YouTube and the amount of times something pops up that’s like #‘kpop idols who got plastic surgery’ ‘kpop idols weight gain/loss’ ‘idols who are insecure about x’ #it’s just another thing that’s like why is this the culture? why comment on it? #let these people do a dancey dance and sing-a the songs #it’s like- I do believe attention should be brought to some issues but the way people go about it it seems like faux concern #a lot of it seems like shaming- your concerns for this stuff should be targeted at the companies or the fans who obsess over it #why are you directing it at the idols themselves- they’re doing what they’re pressured or told to do #or what they think will make the fans happy #and some of it is potentially not even true- it's just assuming and/or projecting #I’m in a 🙄😒 mood today if that hasn’t already come across lol #and for some reason I’ve chosen fandom culture as the target #I just want them to be able to do some dancey dance and sing-a the songs- literally what they signed up for #oh and behind the scenes fun of course- love seeing that part too #btw the video I just watched that sparked this rant- #they said Binnie had chin reduction and proceeded to show a 'before and after' #the 'before' picture was pre debut skinny binnie at one angle #and the ‘after’ was super buff bin and a completely different angle 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ #a few videos before was about Yuna's ribcage- I scrolled past it almost immediately so can't say for sure but it started off very shame-y

tw: sa mention, rape mention, ed mention (all fictional and brief mentions but regardless), fatphobia

i saw 'discourse' on fatphobia and the body positivity movement today and it reminded me of when i was like 9 i got a book from the library without knowing what it was about. in the book a teen girl gets sexually assaulted by a man while on a school trip and the entire book is about her trying to deal with that, over the course of which she develops an eating disorder. and the first chapter goes into detail about how she felt undesirable because of her large breasts and bottom and through the novel she talks about how she's lost substantial weight in those areas. she also gets a boyfriend at one point. and the book was intensely emotional, i read later that the author was a counsellor that primarily worked with teen girls and i don't think the book glorified eating disorders beyond the extent of portraying it positively through her mindset, which was later contested. despite this, at 9, reading about the deeply traumatic event she went through and the emotional and social conquences of it, i couldnt help but think 'at least she lost the weight and is wanted by someone now' and it reminds me of that netflix show insatiable where people swore up and down that the moral is 'just because she lost weight she's still not happy, beauty isn't everything' except she's still presented as only desirable after the weight loss. and i know attractiveness is the least of the least of the issues regarding fatphobia, but in contrast to discussions of 'skinny shaming' i don't think any child has ever wished something traumatic would happen to them just so they could put on weight.

#ameera speaks #tw sa mention #tw ed mention #tw fatphobia #like i said none of these things are in relation to me personally but i understand it can be triggering regardless #i just have issues with 'weight-loss' stories in general because people are only desired when they start to lose the weight you get me #so even if the moral is beauty isnt everything blah blah blah idc because in your own story she could only learn beuaty isnt everything #after being considered beautiful by societal expectations #i reread that book fairly recently and both times i read it it caused me to relapse so i had to ban myself from reading it #and like that post thats like are u gonna tell a child her ass is so fat #but also. children want to be considered beautiful too? not sexualised of course but if every example of people who are loved are people #it leaves weird images in ur head of what u have to do to become someone who can be loved #anyweighs #ask to tag

It’s not enough to just tell yourself what not to do; you must learn a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.
