"we have progressed beyond the tumblr sexyman"

Nah babe, we've effectively regressed back to shaming women for openly liking something unless they write a 3 page disclaimer about how they understand that the sexy morally gray character is actually PrObLeMaTiC and solemnly swear that books and movies will not lead them astray from a life of devout self-denial.

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

oh so you’re telling me the guy had a 3 page handwritten explanation of his motives and mindset and a gun and silencer that matches the description despite it being a week since the guy was shot? hmmmm interesting

i think one of the reasons i get mildly annoyed about worldbuilding threads that are 200 tweets of why you should care about where blue dye comes from in your world before saying someone is wearing blue is that so few of them go up to the second level of "and that should impact your characters somehow" - i don't care that blue dye comes from pressing berries that only grow in one kingdom a thousand miles away if people are casually wearing blue

With all the surviving dresses and all the girls considered worth photographs being waifish as heck, what can you tell me about how a heavier lass might have Been Fashion in the 20s? could I have flapped?

You absolutely could have flapped! People have always existed at every size, and extant garments have major survivorship bias that preserves mostly the tiniest, fanciest things. Looking at vernacular photography from the era shows us tons of people in every shape and size wearing 20s styles.

The thing is, what looks flattering and fashionable to us, now, was not necessarily what looked flattering and fashionable to them, back then.

That said, there definitely was some social pressure to be (or look) slimmer:

(did you know Lane Bryant’s been around this long?)

But honestly, most people who weren’t Hollywood stars or socialites just kind of committed to the loose, boxy silhouette.
