#my go to with stuff like this is always to recommend therapy tbh but ik that's not always accessible

how do i deal with learning to love my body? im not skinny, i have a bulge on my stomach that makes me look at myself with anger and hate. i have curves but if i try to flatter them with clothes, that bulge takes it away. ive been genuinely trying to eat less but i end up binging by night time because of being hungry all day. i cant exercise because of being sick. i just want to feel pretty. how did you get to a point where you loved your body? apologies.

for me before i loved my body i had to reach a point of just accepting it. my body doesn't always need to be what i or anyone else would consider beautiful - it's enough that it keeps me alive. you're not here to appeal to everyone or to meet beauty standards. you're here to experience life. you're never going to be able to punish yourself into loving yourself - sometimes you just need to take a step back and see that your body doesn't deserve to be hated. you don't deserve to feel like crap about yourself or live in a permanently hungry state. you deserve to experience life and all of its joys to the best of your ability! something else that was really healing for me too was realising how much i loved everybody else's features. for example, the person i love most in life has very severe body dysmorphia. she hates how she looks, but every time i see her i light up. every single feature she possesses that she hates so much, i adore. there will always be someone out there who admires you and thinks you are so, so beautiful. you don't need to perform or meet insane societal standards that half the time aren't even achieved without seriously unhealthy habits or plastic surgery. i know it's easier said than done, but you do deserve to feel happy in yourself. i think the road to that starts with accepting that that's true.

*WARNING* this is going to be a long compiled mess of replies, so please take the time you need to respond and you don’t have to respond to everything : )

NO WAY I WATCHED DISNEY AND NICKELODEON RELIGIOUSLY TOO! ! ! (but also like, not me flipping through the files of all my favorite fandoms in my head before i go to bed trying to decide which universe to live in for the night… yikes or something aha *finger guns*)

MISS PEGGY CARTER DESERVES SO MUCH MORE AND CAPTAIN CARTER TOO!!! UGH I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS OF HER SO FREAKING MUCH! they totally nailed the old era vibe for the series, and i love the generalized aesthetic for that time era too so that was a major plus for me

ALSO STOP YOU’RE MAKING ME SMILE SO MUCH BY SAYING YOU LOVE MY ENERGY HAKSKDHN but i truly do love your energy too bestie <3

HONESTLY IF THERE WAS NO HEIGHT DIFFERENCE OR GLOWING LESBIAN I WOULD STILL WATCH THIS SHOW CAUSE OF THE DINOSAUR BUT THIS SHOW HAS ALL THREE?!?!! a big win for the gays i’m loving it

mmmm i’m sure i won’t like it in the beginning with feeling sympathy for parents but when a show succeeds in doing so, you know it’s a good show. so i’ll be open minded about it, even if it’s rich people problems lol

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BESTIE IM CACKLING “Her height went to her gay level I guess.” UGGGH I CAN’T BREATH I’M LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD

((anyways yes all the parents absolutely need to go to therapy, and probably the kids too now, and i’m glad you don’t drive a prius or else i’d have to rethink somethings hahaha jk but yeah, they don’t give the best vibes a majority of the time))

(((HUUUUUUUUUHHHWA IK ITS ONLY THE BEGINNING AND I HAVE TWO MORE SEASONS AFTER THIS ONE SO LIKE AHHHHHHHHHHH)))

OH NOW I WANT TO READ THE COMICS EVEN MORE NOOOOOOWWW would you recommend reading them after i finish watching? and why yes, yes they are scientists… ((((man head is going to explode, there’s so many things to think about!!!))))

(((((yes, i agree with your mum. i’ve only seen him less than a handful of times yet this too will always be my response)))))

((((((people really do need to get with the times to get a better taste of all the true, great media that’s out there smh))))))

(((((((yes, i am getting the recommended amount of rest, maybe not in the right time frame tho, but i am getting it! thank you for asking : D i too can be unhinged when watching shows, but i have recently relearned the consequences of pulling an all nighter so i will not be doing so with this show. but my day was good, especially since i’m decompressing now by watching runaways! i hope you’re taking care of yourself and that your day/night is going to be good to!)))))))

Our mind??? I too pick which universe to live for at night (and sometimes daytime that I forget how I gotta exist in the real world???) AND I LOVE DINOSAURS LIKE I WILL WATCH IF THERE’S DINOSAURS AND THE QUALITY IS GOOD TOO cause some vfx is horrible (totally out of context but meet the robinsons’ t-rex is so cute)

I read the comics after watching 2 seasons I think? Cause I was waiting for the new season and decided to catch up with the comics. It kinda made me go “ahhh this is not the same AHHH WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT” but tbh, it’s up to you cause some things match up while some doesn’t (and comic tends to have heavy stuff which don’t end up making to live action).

And the show is kinda slow so I hope you have the patience cause sometimes it's like ya typical never ending tv series, but it's kind of nice to watch the basic shit with the superhero flairs and the glowing lesbian with her tiny girlfriend so it's also not basic??? i don't think i made sense but yes words

((I think WE ALL need therapy, but the parents especially dammit why don't all of them go get help))

(((I HAD FUN READING EVERYTHING LIKE THIS ENERGY IS WHAT I NEEDED WHEN IS STARTED WATCHING THE SHOW AND I HOPE YOU’RE DOING OKAY!!!AND TAKING CARE AND DRINKING LOTS OF WATER)))
