The thing about support needs is that they're there to measure the amount of support you need to live your life, not whether or not your life is hard. And while both can be disabling challenges, there is a difference between "cooking is hard" and "I will starve if people don't cook for me" which is worth noting when judging the amount of support a disabled person needs to live

Now that finals are over, I can start posting again!
Here's another beast, and my first attempt at painting one of my sculptures. I also tried to put more details than I usually do, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Funfact! Alligator snapping turtles will gladly eat younger, smaller turtles, even of their own species :)

Whump Prompt #1256
Submitted by Anon - thanks!
TW: starvation | disordered eating
If a character has become accustomed to prolonged under-nourishment, they probably won't be "fine" as soon as they can eat adequately. Of course there's the psychological recovery from whatever experience(s) they had, but also their body may not remember how to deal with normal amounts of food.
A few things they may experience when they start eating more (severe cases can be dangerous and require medical intervention, these are just in the "unpleasant" range):
Poor appetite and rapid/disproportionate satiety
Bad stomach aches
Increased lethargy/fatigue, in general but especially after meals
Suddenly needing a lot more sleep
Dizziness/shakiness/weakness if they haven't eaten for a few hours, even if they don't feel hungry.

the recent surge of articles on severe ME is shattering my heart. we’re looking at a live, ongoing portfolio of the NHS’s failure to protect young ME patients, the same failures that cast a shadow over both my childhood and my current life, and it’s so wild that things aren’t changing. there’s no repair, no apology for the highly preventable suffering or the deaths, which are mostly young women.
the improper care of ME patients isn’t because of a lack of funding, it’s because of ignorance & stubbornness. the bare minimum of appropriate care to prevent a severe ME patient from getting worse is to allow them to be somewhere dark, quiet, lying down, hydrated & fed, and somehow the NHS can’t even provide that. my main shred of hope is that this is finally being reported and i wonder if that will be the catalyst for a little bit of repair. i’m desperate to believe it will be

A game of chess, where whumpees pieces each represent a punishment and whumpers pieces represent a reward.
They loose a pawn, that’s one lash. They capture a pawn, they get warm water for one shower. They loose a rook, a day without food. They capture a rook, they get one hot fulfilling meal.

It's like they think if you're too disabled to care for yourself it's because you're not motivated and not trying, and that by refusing to do things for you they can motivate you to do more for yourself. Because they generally don't believe in people being genuinely incapable, they think it's always a character flaw that they can force you to work on by refusing to accommodate it. But that's not how disability works, and that's why I starved and lived in filth an entire year I was just too sick to take care of myself while they kept insisting that it was all my own fault for "not working to improve"

Fae whumper only offering their captive faerie food in an effort to trap them forever
Captive holding out as long as they can, but day by day it gets harder to control themselves when they're starving and there's a literal feast locked in the cell with them

Cannibalism in whump...
Whumpee is starving. The corpses lying by the side of the road look more tempting by the minute. They swallow hard, and hope they will be able to forgive themselves for doing what they have to do to survive.
Whumper has prepared a meal for whumpee, bigger and higher quality than what whumpee is used to. They should be suspicious, but they are simply too hungry to turn it down, and take a hearty bite of the meat that's served. Halfway through the meal, whumper drops the name of one of whumpee's loved ones, and asks if they taste as good as they thought they would.
Whumper cuts off a piece of whumpee and forces them to eat it. It's all they're going to get.
An intimate/obsessive whumper eats a part of whumpee, or forces whumpee to eat something they cut from themselves, forming a bond between them that can never be erased.
Whumper discussing the sorts of meals they might be able to make from whumpee's meat as they "work" on them.

For both Destroyer and Rubies:
Delta, how is the food you're getting? What's your favorite food?
What is Delta's relationship with food? I recall that he stashed away food in Destroyer.
“It’s good. Apollo has been cooking for me,” he tells you, blushing slightly. “I like fruit a lot. And fish.”
[Delta under-eats. He’s been starved a few times as punishment and now seems to do it out of spite. He stashes food in his room during Destroyer because his door locks from the outside and he‘s been locked in without warning before for extended periods. He doesn’t like to eat in front of other people.]

Just thinking about how in atla season one, you see Zuko shirtless a couple times, and that dude is jacked. Like, every minute he’s not searching for clues and chasing the avatar, he’s eating well and training his body. For a 16 year old, that level of musculature is equally impressive and concerning.
But after that, you don’t see his muscles much until the beach episode all the way to season three, and boy oh boy he couldn’t be any more different. He’s freaking emaciated: he’s skinny, his shoulders are less broad, and you can see his ribs for Pete’s sake.
Sure, some teenage boys just Look Like That, but it’s a huge change that has to be on purpose. During season two, Zuko must have starved so badly. Going from eating properly every day and using that energy to eating almost nothing so suddenly must have been a stark change for his metabolism.
And it’s not like he was less active: he was doing Blue Spirit activities by night riding an ostrich-horse through the desert by day, he might need less calories but there is still a huge deficit between what he needs and what he’s getting.
The entire show doesn’t take place over a large amount of time: a year, at most. Which leads me to the conclusion that Zuko starved so badly that his body started breaking down protein for energy, atrophying his muscles.

starving whumpee being forced to hold a grape between their teeth indefinitely to prove their obedience. no eating; just holding.
bonus points if, at the end, whumper tells them to spit it out, and they comply.

Like the thing is that even if the supposed health advice I come across is just about encouraging people to "avoid 'unhealthy' snacks they don't 'really' need" and not about maintaining full blown eating disorders, I still don't condone it. I don't believe in diet culture. I don't believe in restricted eating. I don't believe in the ideology of fatphobia. I don't just think all of the above is a problem when people are actively starving themselves to the point of death. I'm critiquing the entire concept
