Never lose your sense of beauty even though it may be challenging at times 🤘🏽💎🍬🎁

Not really a fan of Bridgerton, but I am a fan of Nicola Coughlan's response to everyone shitting on her for being "too big" to play a love interest

I drew Bridget at the beach on a hot summer day. I drew her a bit chubby and that’s okay because all bodies are beach bodies and there is no right or wrong way to have a beach body.

Bulge version:

If you're all about body positivity but make fun of men with hairline receiding or bald, fat, with a beer belly etc, no you're not.

Pretty sick and tired of seeing people laugh and trash men who are not tall skinny queer looking white dudes and be like "everyone is beautiful" in the same breath.

If you're holding back on being masc because you think you need to be a skinny white man to pass, give that the fuck up. Be big if you're big, be brown if you're brown, be assertive, take up space, be whatever the fuck kind of man/masc you are and stop waiting. Stop trying to diminish your power out of fear.

For my entire life people have told me I am "naturally athletic". I am not "naturally athletic": I am an asthmatic with historically really poor cardio health and joints that partially dislocate themselves if I put pressure on them slightly weird. What I *am* is naturally tall and slender, even more so when I did absolutely no physical activity and ate very little because my neurodivergent body didn't give me hunger signals, which most people mistake for "naturally athletic".

That's not to say I don't have the potential for athleticism. My mother, who has never been under 250 pounds my entire life, is built of sheer farm girl muscle, has stellar blood pressure and cardio health despite her weight, and could (and has!) bodily haul me and my grown brother around like we weigh nothing. When I was a kid the woman was biking triathlon distances before we were even awake for school. The woman is an ATHLETE, and her whole life she has been obese (and heard from everyone and their dogs that she needs to lose weight).

I'm not sure where I'm going with this long piece of anecdotal evidence, except to say: my whole life I heard I was naturally athletic, until I actually became athletic. Because the thing is, I put on muscle like my mom. It fills out my shoulders and arms and makes me look big, thick, and barrel chested. "Genetically beefy", as my brother puts it. And suddenly I wasn't getting comments about my athleticism anymore. I'm quite literally the healthiest I've ever been. I can run for miles, lift my weight, my balance and heart health are excellent. I'm just bigger now. And not one stranger has a comment about my physique since I got fit. Because I don't look like what they think "naturally athletic" is.

I guess what I'm saying is, maybe don't let your perception of what "athleticism" or "health" LOOKS like color your perception of like. People's actual health.

i already draw bridget as a beautiful fat woman so i just did some anatomy practice (it was very helpful!) and nearly made me pass out like 8 times while drawing this her power is too much. i will not survive the horde.

please be civil.

Even as an asexual, I really appreciate classic paintings and statues showing nudity. There's just a sense of normalness- hardly any of them are meant to be seen as sexual. I think it's beautiful to see all of these different body types represented so beautifully. That person is just chatting to their friend. That person is picking flowers. That person is welding a weapon. None of those things are inherently sexual or arousing. But they are often portrayed as naked.

Sure, seeing genitals even in art sort of grosses me out, I don't like seeing that stuff at all. But seeing the entire human body represented in such a casual way makes me feel so much better about it.

I also think it helps to make people more confident in their bodies. You must have seen those statues of Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty. With her stomach rolls and smallish boobs, I have heard so many stories of people saying "Wait. She looks like me! We have the same body! I'm beautiful!" (have you seen the original Tumblr post about this?). Seeing yourself reflected in these beautiful intricate paintings and statues, its so magical.

just saying if safe cybernetic attachments were a thing i would immediately replace my pharynx with a tactile and controllable fleshlight with neon light swirling down my mouth like a cave of bio-luminescent mindblowing throatfuckery wonder

fat people are hot
