#BODY POSITIVITY NO MATTER THE BODY

Body Positive Season 3

I was thinking about how awful it must be in Heaven for Aziraphale - no books, no music except Sound of Music (yikes!), and no scrummy food.

Then I was like - 'OH GOD, what if they try to force Michael Sheen into some diet to show how much Heaven has been starving Aziraphale?'

And then I remembered who we're dealing with, and was comforted, because what will probably happen is a scene where Sandalphon is being snide and Uriel is backing him up. Michael is just rolling her eyes in the background.

Sandalphon says something along the lines of, "Suppose now that we've gotten you away from the gross matter cakes and biscuits, you'll finally get into fighting shape."

Uriel smirks, "Yeah, still Soft, Aziraphale."

And instead of holding his stomach, Aziraphale will turn and Arch An Eyebrow at them, then say with perfect levels of Aziraphale-bitchiness, "Or perhaps, you'll all finally realize that God made us as we are. She considers us all perfect, whatever shapes we are in." Bitch mode still active, "Are you questioning God's desire to make us all unique and beautiful?"

From behind Aziraphale, Saraquel is giving them both the Dirtiest Look, as they both sputter 'Of course not! All of God's creations no matter how she made them are beautiful!'

"Very Good." Aziraphale will say, smugness personified as he turns away and gestures for Saraquel to walk with him. He pauses, and states, "And that's Soft SUPREME ARCHANGEL, to you, Uriel."

And y'all can totally tell Neil Gaiman I said I want this in Season 3.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

Not to be really annoying and go ‘well actually’ to the joke about how silcos a twink who probably didn’t do shit in the mines and that miners all look like vander and are these big buff burly dudes is very much some propaganda in ur brain and not the reality of what conditions are like for miners from impoverished communities. You know they use children in mines bc they’re small right. If you’ve consumed any footage showing messed up mining communities that exists irl, like people who work in cobalt mines in Congo, they’re muscular, but at a glance, they’re not jacked and look pretty average. I think a lot of people are surprised seeing that they tend to be small and lanky for people doing hard manual labor all day, but that comes from not being able to afford enough quality food. You have to eat a ton of calories to get built, and that isn’t something many people who work in mines have.

Shoutout to all the other adults who have acne or any other condition of the skin that you are expected to outgrow or "just deal with."

Adulthood isn't this magical time where everything just disappears, and the reality is that these skin conditions are largely genetic. It isn't your fault (nor your skin's fault) that you are an adult with different skin than other people. In fact, it's neutral (and even, dare I say, good!).

Marriage isn't easy, but as long as you always choose one another-

Regardless of your gender

and despite how many partners you may have,

it can and will work.

All it takes is effort and the willingness to try, because every day together won't be easy- but it will be worth it, if it means you get to spend the rest of your life with the people/person that you love most.

I want to lose weight, and I started worrying that I’ve turned into a little dumpling. But my partner, came to the rescue and told me I should appreciate every phase of myself. If I gain weight, I’ve got great boobs and a nice butt, for example 😃. And when I slim down, sure, my figure gets leaner, but I lose those curves. So right now, I’m a true Slavic woman ❤ but I’m starting what you’d call a "transformation." Simple mindset exercises like this and self-acceptance are things we women need so we don’t torture ourselves with society’s expectations about how we should look.

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Everyone has an inherent value. Regardless.

Regardless of their size or weight, fitness level, health, ability/disability status, ease or difficulty to accommodate their needs, or the reasons behind them.

Regardless of their gender identity or expression, pronouns or use of neopronouns, agab, labels or multi labels, or newness to the community.

Regardless of their culture, skin tone or pigmentation, accent, language or dialect, ethnicity, nationality, or socioeconomic status.

Regardless of their religion, being multi-faith, being atheist, or otherwise not having a defined religious viewpoint.

We should be caring for and respecting each other. We should be supporting those that need it in the areas where we can help, not sitting silently while others are continuing to be further marginalized. Those of us that have some privilege and can exist semi-peacefully within society, we should be using that privilege to support and uplift and advocate for those that don’t. Push their messages forward! Educate yourself on their experiences!

Be a safe space, be a safe person. Be someone that will listen, believe, and support their peers. It’s not a competition to see who has it worst. It should be a community that supports everyone in their struggles. Support who you can, how you can, where you can. We have to do this together, we can do this together.
