Books I Read in 2024:
Curvy Girls Can’t Date Bullies by Kelsie Stelting
His head lowered, and his eyes flicked from mine to my mouth. My stomach swooped in response, then my lips curled in disgust at him and myself.
Ryker might have been attractive, but he was ugly inside.

One 2015 study found that just seeing fat men more regularly increased attraction toward them in women who date men. The politics of desirability are shaped by who we are allowed to see as desirable, which is in turn shaped by who we are allowed to see.

My hot take for 2024 is that the lack of bigger bodies representation on mainstream media is so jarring that when there is a character who is middle sized people act like they are so much bigger than they actually are and describe/draw them as such. This honestly reminds me of the 2000's when people thought Jessica Simpson was fat when honestly she was middle sized at best, and for "fat" characters movies and series just casted an actor with a round face shape, and it's just as harmful for body image. Like, if we settle for this we are never having PROPER representation of actual fat people.

Happy Face Equality Week :-D
(short ID in alt text, longer below)
I really wanted to draw some happy people with facial differences for this week so:)
if you tag this as "tw scars" or some other "body horror" I'm killing u btw:D!!!
[Image description: digital drawing of 7 character with facial differences against a patterned background. The left side shows a gay couple sitting and hugging; one from them has a large bump on his forehead and widespread eyes, while the other has paralysis on one side of his face. In the middle is a teen girl cuddling with a cat, both of which are missing their left eye. Below her is a nonbinary person smoking a cigarette with heart-shaped smoke surrounding them; they have facial atrophy on one side of their face. The right side is split into three small panels; top one shows a Black girl with a cystic hygroma on her jaw on a pastel pink background, middle shows an Indian man with Crouzon syndrome from the side smiling, bottom is a zoom on the side of the head of a person with microtia; they're wearing a bone-anchored hearing aid and have a buzz cut with stars patterned in it. At the bottom, "Happy Face Equality Week" is written. End image description.]

Love that they embraced sexy big-people styles.
Hate that the loading screen tips are too long to fully read by the time the loading is thru.

Hey
- Make characters OTHER THAN VILLAINS fat too
- No not just the greedy or food loving ones
- Not just older people or moms
- Make more characters fat
- Like actually fat
- With double chins, bellies, thick arms, fat necks, rolls
- And let them be love interests or protagonists or in respected positions.
- Let them be portrayed as hot. While being fat yes
- Make more characters fat

My thoughts here mainly revolve around YSA as the mary sue/female lead type character:
She goes from being this perfect woman to. just being a woman. And my idea is that the weight gain isn't there to make her "unconventionally attractive," or whatever other dumb phrase you wanna use to avoid calling someone ugly, but to make her conventionally attractive, yet realistic.
Instead of looking like a skinny waifu character, she looks like a skinny human woman. Her hair swaying in the nonexistent wind isn't as perfect, her magic blush is missing and she has eyebags. She's still hot, just more human.
#and if you look at it then the left ysa looks a lot more like her doesnt she?#congratulations if youre the exception but most folk seeing this would prefer the left#or at least feel like the left resembles ysa more#and im not saying this judgementally. 1) i draw tons of women like this and 2) they're drawings and not real life humans#(theres a time and place to discuss representation of body diversity etc but this post isn't about that rn.#its an important discussion that deserves respect and its own space. this is a 5am ramble)#anyways. ysa strays from the ideal woman. she grows to be more human in her behavior and depiction and everything#and it would be quite fun to reflect that in the way she's drawn#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#yoo sangah#my doodles#orv meta#i guess?

PLUS SIZE ASIANS EXIST
Michelle Elman
As you all know I’ve been talking about the absence of Asians in adverts, campaigns and fashion in general so @lindablacker and I decided to team up on a little passion project. Look at how incredible these women look!
Here’s to showing them what they are missing 💪🏽
Despite the absence in the media, asian is actually the largest ethnic minority in the U.K.
Asians deserve to be represented.
Asians deserve to be seen.
And all Asians aren’t the stereotype of being small and petite.
Being Asian is not one look.
Being Asian is not one culture.
Whilst even this shoot isn’t perfect representation, it shows just a small sample of the diversity within Asia. #AsianRepresentation
Thank you to all the wonderful women taking part and being my stunning models @nesslala @bishamberdas @saalene @kat_v_henry @minakumari.uk @simksandhu95
This was such a personal project and I couldn’t have done it without @lindablacker. She came up with the idea when I was talking about asian representation earlier in the year and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it. She has always placed diversity at the forefront of her shoots and her talent is remarkable. This entire concept was her doing and I’m so grateful for everything you did to make this a reality! Thank you also to @umberghauri and @hannah.shaikhup for the incredible makeup! It felt so complete to have the makeup artists also be Asian. We need just as much diversity behind the scenes on shoots as well! x

so i noticed when playing the epilogue that illithid Tav wants to eat brains, but the specific part of the brain they want to eat depends on the character, so i looked through the parsed dialogue and compiled all of them!
which part of each brain a mindflayer Tav would savor:
Astarion: "Astarion's sweet brain may be less wrinkled than the rest, but you hunger for its teasing cells. His parietal lobe - which controls his sense of touch - will be an aphrodisiac in your maw."
Gale*: "You would save his temporal lobe for last, if you were to eat Gale. Language. Learning. Memory. He must have quite the fine example."
Halsin: "Every time Halsin speaks of balance, your thoughts cannot behave. You only dream of what his cerebellum tastes like, when it sends the signals to his vestibular system to keep him from wobbling."
Jaheira: "Weary Jaheira. Over time, her stresses may have shrunk her hippocampus, making its taste more intense."
Karlach: "You consider Karlach's brain stem - the stalk meant to regulate her body's temperature. Will it come pre-cooked?"
Lae'zel*: "Lae'zel's motor cortex - that which controls her fine movements - will be harshly disciplined. That will make her especially chewy - just how you like a cortex to be."
Minsc: "There are cruel rumours spread, that Minsc may once have suffered injury to his brain. You could set the slander right at last - tell the world every bite was perfect."
Minthara: "With all Minthara's hate, you wonder if her cerebro-spinal fluid will be bitter to sip?"
Shadowheart: "Think of Shadowheart's cerebellum, which controls her dextrous hands. Any ritual caster must have a tightly commanded hindbrain."
Wyll: "Wyll's frontal lobe, which processes his judgement and measured words, would be a delicacy befitting his nobility." (Or "fit for a Grand Duke" if that was his outcome.)
(*You can't eat god-Gale's or astral-projection-Lae'zel's brains.)
#astarion#gale#karlach#wyll#lae'zel#shadowheart#jaheira#minsc#minthara#astarion ancunin#gale dekarios#karlach cliffgate#wyll ravengard#meta#also this is so fucking funny to me that mindflayer tav calls astarion smooth brained#mindflayer tav thinks he's stupid like just comes out and says it like that#poor astarion#also not to reveal my day job but i find these brain part selections so funny#personally i would pick the frontal lobe for shadowheart and the prefrontal cortex for wyll#the parietal lobe for astarion is fine i guess but also the post-central gyrus specifically would be his representation of his own body#karlach i would argue should be the hypothalamus but brain stem is fine i guess#minthara should absolutely be the amygdala like come on it's right there eat her amygdala#i wouldnt change the others those are fine#bg3 spoilers

[First] Prev <–-> Next
Hair Revealed. Heir Rejected.
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#Finally I can reveal what was under his little kerchief this whole time.#or rather was was lacking under his kerchief this whole time.#The hereditary hair has been revealed! What a twist I'm pretty sure everyone saw coming!#Apparently in the Audio Drama it's *Some Random Cultivator* who kicks Meng Yao's soft little body down the stairs like a ball#and NOT JGS or JZX - as would be more dramatically relevant#so having one of those two give a funny like like “No doubles” is inaccurate.#And what IS PDMDZS if not the most accurate representation of these characters and story? (this is in jest. I'm aware of the irony)#Our poor little yao yao is....a poor little meow meow.....#I hope he doesn't show up bloody and full of vengeance!#Next time on PDMDZS: Meng Yao has a knife and a license to kill

90 minute leyendecker study b4 bed. heard cleo has a cat cafe this season :swoons:
#thellos art corner#zombiecleo fanart#hermitcraft#hermitblr#mcyt fanart#mcyt#ok time for a peek inside my skull: i really contemplated not posting this. not for any reasons of disliking it#im pretty conscious about how fat people are characterized/portrayed around food in media. both in fan works and canonized material#(flashbacks to hunk from voltron) i really think about ways to defy the way fat bodies are portrayed in my works. while also staying normal#i think at the end of the day i really see food as a love language. and serving people i love (even if its just coffee) brings me joy#even if theres a one-dimensional box that fat characters get put into regarding food. it makes me happy! so i'll try to do it with grace#i think representation isnt always this mentally twisting lol. but its definitely something i think about.#i hope i can positively project my feelings about food and love onto a plus size body (as a chubby girl :handheart:) and showcase that love#ok yeah yeah its 11pm. time to put meemaw in bed. if you read all this ur rad <3 also i stopped watching HC peeposad

Seeing Ayo Edebiri on screen would have healed me of so many insecurities as a little girl. She’s the quirky Black girl role model of my dreams. We need to protect her and everything she represents for young Black women.
