Hey everyone!! Did you know that this August is the third annual Fat Liberation Month? The month is organized by NAAFA (National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance), and it's something I didn't know about until I randomly wondered earlier this year if we have a month for our movement, and looked it up. I've never seen anyone talk about it, so I want to change that!!

Through the month of August, I'm going to be drawing lots of fat art, and I would encourage any artists who see this post to do the same. Draw body types you've never tried drawing before! Draw bodies that are bigger than society's "acceptable" level of fatness! Use references (fatphotoref, Morpho Fat and Skin Folds, my own Pinterest reference board)! Perhaps even draw yourself with complete honesty, without trimming out the parts of yourself that make you self conscious, to help better understand and accept your body!

If you participate in this event, please tag your fat art with #Fat Liberation Month, so that I can see and share your work. Have fun and help spread the visibility for this really cool and underrepresented event! 🎉✨

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.

You can see my hernia in these and my weight gain but I'm still trying to feel sexy. I'm glad I got some clothes that actually fit nicely 💙🤎

these sketches are all inspired by @miribalis fanfiction "Managerial Liberties" where Adam stays at the hotel (spoiler - he is not happy and he is still stupid) [and please everyone who sees this post also has to read "Bedtime Rituals to Try out Before the Next Angelic War" so we can scream in each other's faces how INSANELY good both fanfictions are]

No More Trying

“There’s no more trying, time to sort yourself out”

So I’ll make no bones about it - I’m fat.

I’m 6′2″ and last time I weighed myself I was 245lbs. (that’s about 1.88m and 111kg for you metrics) - now I know I have a fair bit of muscle mass but I have a lot of belly fat too, more so of late than in the past.

I eat well, but I overeat as well. I don’t drink enough water when I’m not at work and since having to quit the gym my overall activity level has plummeted; I drive to a job where I spend 95% of my day sat at a desk to then drive home and spend 95% of my time sat on the sofa feeling tired and drained.

My mental health is fragile at best, I’ve lost several very good friends recently due to disagreements over statements I’ve made on other websites and had turned to binging even more so than usual.

But I want to go back to the sites from which I had to take my leave - but I want to look a hell of a lot better before I do so I can show the haters that I’m back and better than ever.

So today I’m taking my life back - I’m almost 42, a dad of two and a husband. I want to live long enough to see my kids fully grown with families of their own (maybe) and be around to annoy the crap out of my ever-suffering wife. Today I start the journey to sort my fat lazy ass out and get back into a better shape.

I’ll never be ripped or toned or hench or whatever the term is nowadays; no washboard abs or dancing pecs, but I can be a better version of me; and that starts today.

No more trying to get in shape, no more excuses.

Time to change.

Sometimes, I'm sad about the hobbies I have abandoned or have been too intimidated to pick up. But... what good is it, to just beat myself up over that? My bass is sitting in the corner, patiently waiting, and so is everything else. My life isn't over, and I've got nothing to answer to. I'm wading through a sea of time, and I'll pick up the seashells that interest me, and it's okay to put one back in the sand. The current's waves will bring it back to me if that is to be destiny. I can not hate myself into productivity, so I must swim on.

I think the same can apply to anybody. It's okay if you have dropped something, such as a hobby or passion. Human beings are like that sometimes, it isn't reasonable for you to beat yourself into submission. You, too, can not hate yourself into being a well-rounded person. You must cultivate it like you would a garden - with patience, time, and care.

I hate the stretch lines in the front of Curly's uniform because that means the devs rushed to make a model in like a month or so and thought "They gotta at least know he has huge knockers, gotta know he's got back pain." Cause like what is the thematic importance of his tits having overhang?

What responsibility is that representing? Breast reduction? It shows an inherent greed in his character due to the excess and heshouldletmeholdone and that he clearly is blinded cause if he tries to look down his damn ladder all he's seeing is his own cleavage.
