donna-dean spa weekend. facials and skin scrubs and full-body massages and yes, cucumber water. the food sucks though so they sneak out for nachos in between treatments.

you know what i really hate. when people try to pretend that the reason they don’t want fat people in ballet is anything other than preference.

it’s one thing to have people describe in great detail how ungraceful and ‘heavy’ fat people dancing ballet would be (and they’re always so adamant on the fact that this is an objective judgment and beauty standards have ‘nothing to do with it’ its just ‘obvious’), its another to have some fuckass default-icon user explain why it’s actually a health risk. how ‘pointes arent made to withstand that much weight’. how ‘their ankles would snap’.

YOU MASSIVE FUCKING MORON ANYONE WITH INSUFFICIENT ANKLE STRENGTH WOULD GET HURT. thats WHY kids need years of training before going on pointe!!!

fat people already carry around more weight than a skinny person and thus often have stronger muscles!! if a fat person is trained well enough so their ankles are strong enough to withstand their weight there is no fucking reason they would be more at risk than a skinny dancer!!!

you are all just hypocrites who like to pretend that a fat person on pointe is the biggest health risk the ballet community needs to be worried about than, oh, i don’t know, the rampant eating disorder culture for example! no but see thats fine and not a risk because they dont do that anymore and also theyre skinny so like clearly it’s not a health risk ^_^

I don't often post my non kink related art but I'm tryna get the attention of someone else in the community and am too shy and cringe to reach out so. Here, have this portrait I did of Hanzo Shimada. With my finger. On ibis paint. This took me four hours. Progress for proof below.

What is with fandom and insisting that twink™️ is the BEST and the ONLY body type? Sorry, but making canonically mid-size (not even fat, yall could NOT handle that), middle-aged men look like teenage boys should be a crime punishable by death.

kind of a vent about Bulkhead and the TF fandom below (not towards anyone in particular. just a pattern I have noticed and some disappointment about it)

I'm so sad that Bulkhead has such little merch and that no one in the TF fandom seems to care enough about him to make stuff :(

like he's the perfect bot for a plush toy and yet you cannot find a single one

he always seems to be a character people really love when brought up but he gets excluded when it comes to fan art, merch, etc

kinda just breaks my heart that he isn't appreciated like the rest of his team(s)

[transvampireboyfriend]

suddenly i get dnis 🙄 DO NOT follow me if you think "overweight" is an acceptable medical term or an acceptable measure of health on its own. DO NOT follow me if you think bmi is a good measurement or if you in any way think it's alright to uphold systems that are oppressing fat people!!!! take charge of your personal growth and unlearn your fatphobia before you come here!!!

[adulting-sucks]

Seems these need to make the rounds again. I don’t give a fuck if the joke was ten years ago or ten minutes. It doesn’t change the fact that they are racist and antisemites. And these thoughts don’t change.

We got a fake ass “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings” from Justin and more racist and disgusting shit from them all.

And make no mistake, they are still these terrible fucking people.

Why are assholes defending the obvious hate and vile behavior and rhetoric of these people?

And to you defending them all so fucking much, you know they’d hate y’all too. Why are you working so hard to make racism and antisemitism okay? Unless you see nothing wrong with what happened, because those words don’t hurt you nor affect you the same way they do towards us, the people they hate for no other reason then who we were born as.

We didn’t seek them out to hate us, and for you to defend them? You’re all just as racist and disgusting as them

remember the old internet adage, kids! "Don't feed the trolls!"

please dont put violent racists like timidsketch or anyone who equates someone not looking like them to the horrors of genocide (???????? wtf is wrong with that person) on my dashboard

alright, i'm gonna walk you through this real quick, much like i had to clarify for timidsketch. i'd love to just ignore this ask, since this feels a bit like sealioning (trying to start an argument knowing it'll make others look bad) but instead, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt. firstly, timidsketch is not racist, nor are they 'violent,' they simply misunderstood part of a poem. much like you misunderstood her reaction to said poem. not everyone is great at literary analysis. or reading comprehension. this is the piss on the poor website.

timidsketch, in her reaction to said poem, expressed that the genocide in gaza is horrific. and that gaining weight should not be seen as AN EQUIVALENT HORROR to genocide. because it isn't. this, the both of you clearly agree on. however, that was simply the part of the poem that was misunderstood. the poem wasn't saying that it was equivalent. the poem was highlighting that as a contrast, that there is so much more going on in the world than something so simple as the author's weight gain.

genocide (big, awful, horrible) VS. laundry to do (small, easy, a slight inconvenience at worst). simple as that.

you, anon, in your accusations, have also simply misread the post.

Instagram is a deeply, darkly depressing place, but I did learn I've been purling upside down for how I knit and now my sock heels look beautiful, so there is that.

[ramonaofmanyfandoms]

currently annoyed by how many things one is expected to put up with in the name of being polite or maintaining a friendship..

[taketheringtolohac]

you know i think abt this often. but it really is so sad and infuriating it is that oftentimes the most fatphobic people are "ex-fat" people themselves because of the way a lot of their own journeys with their weight has been but also bc of the "if i did it through sheer determination then so can everyone else" mentality and also the fear they have of "slipping up" and "reverting" back to their old selves and bodies bc usually they haven't done any of the work to deconstruct the stigma surrounding fatness. its sad because you'd think they have more sympathy, but infuriating because they don't and in fact in many instances become actively hateful despite the fact that they know from experience what it's like to be a victim of fatphobia (or perhaps because of it in some cases. like "fatphobia worked on me and i genuinely believe all of this you just need motivation in the form of feeling terrible abt yourself" or even bc they feel that they've "outgrown" the fact that they were seen as a lesser human and have effectively gone up in social status because of their weight loss so in turn they want to take it out on others...) anyways what if all fatphobic people exploded.

[angelgabrielx]

i dont condone harassment but sometimes a bitch attitude is needed

[nanowired-lover]

anyway i love being a leftist and feeling and seeing how our society is getting powerfully fucked up when I wake up. I love how my therapist told me that if I'm a leftist, I'm always going to be depressed in our current society. I feel like I'm going insane and I'm still a priviledge white student who can afford rent and games thanks to his parents. I want to die because I still don't feel strong enough to fight

[kateis-cakeis]

people are really so weird and so fatphobic huh

(and oops most of my commentary is in the tags XD)

[catfishofoldin99colours]

just a thought but why is it bad if a character is fat. Like genuinely why. Tell me.

And do it without mentioning health in any way shape or form because we all know you don't actually care about a fat person's health.

Go on.
