#borrower ed

[thehappyfeminist-22]

I'M DYING FROM HOW CUTE THIS IS!!! I WOULD READ SO MANY CHAPTERS ABOUT THIS!!! 😭💕

Okay so Ed is a borrower or a fairy or something like that right. Really tiny little guy who has to scavenge around for all his food and other belongings. And he's got, like, buddies that he hangs out with sometimes, but he doesn't really have any real friends, anyone who really understands him.

Until he meets Stede. Stede is a giant, but he's so much more kind and gentle than other giants Ed has dealt with before. He talks to Ed like an equal. He offers to give him things that he needs. He even offers to buy new things specifically for Ed!! Ed goes from being alone and scared in a world that's too big for him, to being protected and treated like a princess by a man who he's quickly falling in love with!!

And one of the coolest things about this is that Ed is eating foods he never could've gotten his hands on before. Fresh warm soups. Fancy chocolate desserts. Sugary carbonated "sodas". Sometimes he even crawls up onto Stede to eat directly out of his hand!

He gains like 10 grams before he finally admits to Stede that he probably needs some new clothes. He's a little bit worried to mention it at first, because people like him don't usually get the privilege to be fat so it feels kinda weird, but Stede is so fucking excited about it. He's so proud that Ed likes the food he makes, so happy that Ed doesn't look so thin and starving anymore, and, honestly, a little bit turned on by watching Ed plump up so nicely for him.

They do some online shopping together for both some premade doll clothes and some fabrics so Ed can make some of his own like he used to (and maybe even teach Stede how to sew while he's at it). Ed, who has been wearing plain colored outfits made of scraps for most of his life, admits that his favorite color is purple and he'd like to have as many purple clothes as possible.

The first time Stede sees Ed in a fully purple outfit, fat and tiny and so, so pretty, he calls him his lovely little grape. He panics a little and asks if that's okay, and Ed promises that it's perfect. He loves his life with Stede, including all the cute little pet names that he can't wait for them to collect for each other.

can’t wait to go thrifting for some smaller clothes and shove shit in my purse!!

there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism then there’s no unethical theft!!!

(this excludes small businesses always support them before large companies)

Tinha visto um post por aqui, não sei exatamente onde, dizendo que era irritante quando pessoas reclamavam de que era muito difícil achar um tamanho pequeno em loja ou que o XP/PP das lojas não era pequeno o suficiente porque “você sabe que você tem o corpo que todo mundo queria ter” e “só tá fazendo drama”

Nossa achei TÃO nada a ver

Lembrei disso porque hoje fui na Renner provar roupas, peguei todas PP e NENHUMA me serviu, todas ficaram EXTREMAMENTE largas e caindo do meu corpo. Não queria caber nas roupas maiores, só queria que fizessem roupas pequenas o suficiente pra mim KSKSKKSKS

É chato só achar seu tamanho on-line! Se uma pessoa que usa XXXG pode reclamar porque não acha seu tamanho nas lojas, por que nós não podemos? Enfim, desabafo

I got a new drawing tablet that's a HUGE upgrade from my old one, it's one of the ones you can draw on the screen. Previously, I just has the smallest, cheapest Wacom. It's so weird to get used to being able to just... draw on the screen.

Here's the doodles I made practicing with it

Ed, as a mouse, asleep in a matchbox.

For years and more years I've held a fake name

Never quite knowing the one that I bear

Hiding and hiding, I'm faceless, I'm nameless,

Not really feeling if it's foul or fair.

But life, it's so messy, it can't be contained

Like the rhyme or rhythm in a poem

So I stop that right there

And turn it into - whatever this mess is.

Sometimes I hear the way people talk

the way family talk

about people at church who've changed their names.

I don't want that.

I don't want the condescension.

But I want the name.

In a perfect world

I think I'd change it

and in a different perfect world

I'd change so much else as well;

but in a commonplace perfect world

I wouldn't change it at all

wouldn't need to change it

wouldn't want to change it.

In this world maybe

maybe someday I'll change it

"You can call me that if you like,

But I prefer Hannah."

and maybe I'll add it to my legal name

in between the first and middle

a legacy of where I was

and where I will be

and where I am.

Sometimes I think about a perfect world

and how in a perfect world I'd feel like

the woman God made me to be

instead of this

not really woman

not really man

perched uncomfortably in the middle

on the fence where the crows screech and the cats walk by their lonesome

and I can't find my place

even though it's right there.

It doesn't look made for me.

I have to change to fit.

Sometimes I think about

how all my problems would go away if my torso evaporated

poof! no more ED

no more dysphoria

sometimes I think a perfect world would have me invisible

and sometimes I think I already am

and sometimes I wish I was not.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever

grow whole again, unbroken

step off the fence

where crows screech and cats walk

stop looking and worrying and hating

swallow the violence of my despair

and live.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone

anyone in real life

will use that name for me

and in a perfect world

they wouldn't judge me

but in this world they would.

they will.

This isn't a coming out post

just in case you wondered.

But sometimes I wonder if anything will get better

If something doesn't change

maybe when something changes

I'll find the box fits again

I can only hope

and pray

and hope.

they told me to name my demons

they told me to name was to own-

Eating disorder recovery remains the hardest thing I've ever done/continue to do. And I've been through a lot

So yeah, if you're struggling with it right now or don't want to recover at the moment, that's understandable

The amount of driver’s ed I’ve done for someone who doesn’t have their license is actually ridiculous

Found out that Hikaru Midorikawa, Lilia’s VA, also voiced Heero Yuy.

Heero Yuy. The one I have written countless fics about. The one I created and co-modded a Yahoo group for. That Heero Yuy.

I mostly watched the English dub of GW, but what GW fan hasn’t heard Heero utter “omae kurosu” at least once or eleventy times?

And his performance as Heero inspired Nobunaga Shimazaki, Silver’s VA, to pursue voice acting! 🥹

My brain is broken.

(Also: my journey from GW to twst…it all comes full circle.)
