#its my body

[secretagentboob]

I hope you know tattoo laser removal is incredibly painful. I recommend getting a coverup instead. It’ll cost significantly less and will save you the pain and humiliation of getting it removed.

Oh hello Nonnie!

Thank you for coming to my page.

Thank you for your concern about the tattoo that I got for Buck and Tommy, even though it is none of your business. But some people just can't help themselves.

What I get tattooed on my body is no one's concern but mine. I also have a tattoo for Damon and Elena. Do you want to comment about that too?

OH! I also have a Stephen Amell tattoo, does that make you squeamish?

I am proud of all of my tattoos, you wanna know why Nonnie? It's my body and I get fandom tattoos. Not that I need to explain myself to you.

Please go take a long walk off a short pier and while you're at it go and touch grass.

my body isn’t a temple or a house for my soul really it’s more like my body

Vent below the cut

So I got pressured to try braces cuz i have a pair of protruding teeth, the pair between the incisors and canines. I always thought it looked rlly cool. My friends did too.

But anyway I tried braces cuz my orthodontist said the protruding "fangs" could cause issues later in life.

First day: braces hurt. I can't eat for a whole day.

Day 2: my front teeth are angling back into my mouth to the point where it's hard to speak properly. By now I can at least have soup.

Day 3: my front teeth are spreading apart slightly. My voice sounds weird now. My protruding pair of teeth aren't even starting to align. That defeats the whole point. I fucking hate this. I may be a minor, but I deserve bodily autonomy.

Had my 1st appointment with a top surgeon and he said he might not operate bc of my EDS and he wants to talk to my (none existent) rheumatologist before going any further. So I travelled 8 hours for basically nothing.

Hating yourself won't make your health improve

Exercise should be an act of self care, not a punishment for how others perceive your body

Food is energy *and* comfort and culture, not just calories

If someone you don't even know comments on your weight, your build, your shape they are not concerned for you,

they are angry you don't fit into their ideals of what makes someone deserving of respect

because they martyr themselves in the ice cream aisle and you exist with an extra 5/10/50+ pounds

dieting is anything that works, even if it kills you, and you shouldn't settle for less because otherwise you are lazy and fat and subhuman

the way people treat you when you lose or gain weight is disheartening

how much should I weigh to be respected as a person?

*tap you gently on the head* GET THE FUCKING CANE.

Chiari or not, for pain or for security (because yes dizziness, tripping etc are security issues), if you thought about it then you probably need it. You don't have to use it all the time but at least you'll have it.

If you feel self-conscious, well, you will get used to it, as humans do, and maybe even one day make it yours (I saw a guy a few weeks ago with a jurassic park cane, the mosquito-in-amber thingie. I think he was pretty proud of it when he caught me staring at it smiling. Well. I hope.) You know who never feel self-conscious about having a cane ? People in their twenties with ankle trauma etc. Even when the splint isn't visible.

Also you probably won't change your mother's mind soon on these things…there's a good chance it's a mix of the classic "mother knows best" AND some denial of your illness (it's frequent in families and friends of sick people. They don't want you to be more sick than they thought. I still do it reflexively sometimes. It does NOT mean you have to forgive her for saying these things, it's still HER job to realize it and work on it.). My unasked-for advice is : when you're tired you're just allowed to answer "well Chiari or not it still sucks", and continue the fight for acknowledgement another day.

This brought me to tears... I just had a talk about this with my mum this morning and it was ... discouraging to say the least. She said she understood why I felt like that but also that she doesn't think getting a cane is a good idea because then there wouldn't be too much for improvement; that if I were to get a cane I'd rely on it too much and my balance issues and dizziness would only get worse because my body wasn't used to regulating my problems anymore.

I felt pretty ...gaslit? manipulated?...

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone FROM YOUR BODY chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

My teacher as being sexist

[artistotel]

hey! for todays protest, i made this little zine about palestine (holding just simple and basic information).

you can download the zine here, fold it yourself, and distribute it around.

no credit is needed. feel free to leave it around bars, protests, or wherever. simply print it (borderless) and fold it. here is a tutorial on how to do it.

dont stay silent. there is a genocide of horrendous, atrocious proportions going on. also if you are a zionist here to argue with me, i dont plan to entertain you at all, not on my art blog. fuck off, you'll be swiftly blocked. i see enough of you clowns on my main and i have no energy for you. you can skip the death threats too bc i dont give a shit.

(i'm off to get ready for a surgery now, i just wanted to post it before this. if you need anything, i might take a bit to reply)

Tumblr shrinks it down pretty bad so please. please. I am begging you. look at the full sized image and zoom in. This art piece made my friends worried for my mental health I need someone to witness the amount of detail and effort I put into this

also the original sketch under the cut bc I think comparing them is really funny
