If anybody wants to know what the perfect depiction of recovery looks like in media, I think you should look no further than Anton Ego in Ratatouille. Weight gain is such a beautiful part of recovery, yet there are few pieces of media willing to depict weight gain as something joyful or even neutral. Weight gain is a beautiful thing in recovery. We need to start depicting it as so.

#recovery #mental health recovery #my dad and i talked about ratatouille and this part of the film for like an hour at least #tired: depicting somebody's horrible mental state through how big or small their body is #wired: depicting weight gain as a positive and an indication that the character is going to be okay #if your media relies on fat shaming a character because their mental state is poor then.... that's kinda sad honestly #weight talk tw #fatphobia tw #(for discussions of fatphobia in media wrt the post and tags)
