Jason Todd as a parent is so SO funny to me because I think he’s making your kid a lil plate of steamed broccoli and salmon and maybe a little rice or something . And then as soon as the kid is in bed he’s driving to get you both mcdonalds lmao

I really need a picky eater pride movement it’s somehow the only thing we’ve decided it’s okay to make fun of people for and it’s so EXCRUCIATING if you have any kind of event or something especially in like a professional environment because you are simply not allowed peace. People HATE picky eaters. Loathe them. Being picky is rude and entitled and babyish and you have something ew gross wrong with you. What an entitled child you are, you expect everyone to cater to your baby pallette? It is NOT socially acceptable to say “I’m sorry, I don’t like that, could you purchase something different for me” or “could you make something different for me” because that’s asking for special treatment. That’s asking to have someone else accommodate your annoying not-real food preferences which you of course have chosen and you’re obviously just being difficult on purpose. So any professional or social situation involving food just becomes “hope they have food you like or don’t eat.” So you just…don’t eat. Everyone around you gets to eat, you just get to starve. Because everyone will hate you if you ask for anything because that’s entitled. So you just sit and not eat. And then if you’re REALLY lucky someone will ACTUALLY LOOK YOU IN THE EYE and give you shit for not eating. Is that all you’re gonna eat? Aren’t you hungry? Oh I couldn’t do that. We got sandwiches don’t you want one? And sometimes THAT will be perceived as rude because it’s ungrateful or insulting to the person who made or bought the food. It’s like being chased with a baseball bat. Not only am I NOT throwing my situation in people’s faces, I put an EXTREME amount of effort and suffering into making this not-other-people’s-problem. I simply go without, I don’t get to eat at the event, I get to go hungry while everyone else eats, and I’m not allowed to say anything about it because that would make me entitled, and even then people go out of their way to give me shit about it sometimes. People are so mean and hateful about picky eaters because they’re seen as entitled, but my experience is the exact opposite. Everyone I know who has any sort of food restriction puts in MASSIVE energy and effort into making sure it never bothers ANYONE and even whatever THAT action is is seen as rude, inappropriate or intrusive or socially unacceptable. You’re literally running away and someone is chasing you yelling ITS SO RUDE THAT YOU’RE STANDING WHERE I CAN HIT YOU, you get out of the spot and they come stand next to you again and repeat the same thing. When even complete inaction is perceived as an affront what the fuck am I meant to do. You hate me if I dare to ask to eat but you ALSO hate me if I deliberately don’t and I sit quietly in a corner. No one actually hates picky eaters bc they’re entitled, people hate them because they’re outre and don’t conform. “People hate picky eaters because they’re entitled” is a LIE. No matter how hard you try and appease by making sure to never appear entitled in any way, you will likely still get shit because people will hunt you down JUST to be shitty. Even if we weren’t ever seen as entitled, people would still hate us just as much. They just find new reasons.

I’m so hungry 😭

TW: Mention of vomiting

At the encouragement of my therapist, I’ve spent the past twenty minutes trying to eat a half of an apple slice. I figured if I could just chew, swallow, and then quickly wash it down with a safe food and some water, I could come to tolerate the texture eventually.

I managed to bite off the equivalent of half of that half slice over the course of that twenty minutes, managed to swallow exactly one of those bites, and immediately vomited it back up. I managed one more bite after that, but my entire body started heaving the second I bit it off and my attempt to just quickly swallow it led to me vomiting again.

“Just force past the discomfort until your body gets used to it!” HOW? HOW?????????

Hello :) Your most recent post about your stardust beings au and what Eclipse & crew used to do made me wonder, does Eclipse still "hire" unsuspecting victims that he ends up eating? Or is he done with the whole crew scene and just literally flies solo?

Nah, he only ever ate his crew! Still not sure what his plans are for sun and moon. Eclipse hates the idea of cannibalism for power not to mention he knows that when a being consumes too many cores, they lose their mind and have terrible physical side effects. Eclipse's mind isn't as intact as it used to be and he knows that.

After the feast of 87' eclipse is stranded for a hot minute since sun and moon took his ship when they ran away. Eventually, eclipse finds a shattered cult, destroyed by their previous leader and now without any authority figures. It's perfect for eclipse! He takes immediate control and builds an empire using what was once a wimpy cult! I'm thinking he even has a small planet as a base of operations. He mostly flies around though. As the leader of this cult, he allows cannibalism only by his terms. He immediately kills any who eats for power.

I want to clarify that eclipse didn't eat sun and moon because he wasn't 100% sure about them. He definitely cared about them but they were relatively new compared to his crew. He also was sure he could convince them to join him. Of course, if they did that I'm sure eclipse would have ended up cannibalizing them

Can we talk more about how having severe allergies puts mortal fear into your soul at a young age?

Like "hey kid I know you're like five, but your body has a design flaw where if you eat (or sometimes even share a space with) {allergen} you essentially drown on land, and instead of water rushing into your airways, your body turns against you, tongue and throat swelling until breathing is completely cut off. You're surrounded by oxygen, yet it's completely inaccessible. Only way to *temporarily* keep that from happening is to stab yourself in the thigh with a needle full of panic chemicals. Also avoiding your allergen is mostly on you because restaurants won't think twice about frying potential allergens in the same oil as the goddamn fries (or worse, they use an oil made from your allergen), the folks bringing potluck dishes don't provide listed ingredients (and you shouldn't trust their word alone), and your allergen shows up in unexpected places because nobody thinks about this stuff if their literal life isn't on the line. Have fun with that!"

"Alerting" Sensory Snacks

These texturally different treats are meant to help wake up your mind/body and bring you back to reality. I tried to think of as many suggestions as possible

Fun fact I think a teacher got herself fired because of me when I was like 6 or 7 lol.

fucking deserved it.

context below cut cw: eating disorders and force-feeding

So it was like grade 2 yk, and my teacher decided to do some cooking with us, fun times no issues there. made some zucchini slice no problems there.

now some context, I have ARFID. fully got hospitalized because of it when I was 4, overall nkt a fun time. I'm better now I'm 18 but my arfid is still horrid... speaking of i need to take my vitamins soon... (see what i mean by 'not disabled enough' 'not able bodied enough')

Anyways we finished cooking, and everyone got a slice of the food to eat, being the arfid lil kid I am I turned it down, AND IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED THERE!

but no. she didn:t take no for an answer. gave me the slice made me go sit down. So I sat there, slice sitting infront of me. I think i offered it to someone else I was a little kid and trauma made me forget a lot of my childhood.

Either no one wanted the slice or she heard me asking people because she made me

sit at the front of the class infront of her desk until i ate it

she fully held me hostage until i ate this food.

I ended up eating it but I was having a full on mental breakdown.

And then she left a few months later. Not sure what happened, dunno if it had to do with this incident or not but GOOD GODS DO I HOPE SHE NEVER WORKS IN CHILDCARE EVER AGAIN.

Completely unapolagetically do not like that woman at all.

Growing up a picky eater was eating chicken nuggets and fries almost every meal.

It was going to bed without dinner sometimes because the food my dad made looked disgusting.

It was being handed chicken, then being told it was actually pork and It was the disgust I felt knowing my dad lied to me and that I put something I didn’t try before into my mouth.

It was my mom asking me to at least try something once before I decided I didn’t like it.

It was my brother putting hot sauce in my ketchup, my only safe dip, because he thought it was funny.

It was my sister chewing foods I hated the smell of with her mouth open because she knew it bothered me.

It was my parents hoping I wouldn’t be diabetic when I grew up because all I ate was carbs.

It was my dad poking fun at my weight, and it was the shame I felt after for being so chubby.

It was avoiding most school lunches because it looked or smelled bad.

It was some of my friends wondering if I had an eating disorder because I avoided so many foods.

It was being told I was on the verge of diabetes when I was 19.

But…

It was also my dad letting me cook with him so I could learn how to make my own meals.

It was finally giving something new a shot and liking it for once.

It was learning about as many foods as I could online and being excited to try them.

It was my dad going out of his way to cook something I wanted too.

It was my mom telling me to just eat what made me happy.

It was my brother buying me food when we were home alone.

It was my sister sharing foods I did like so I wouldn’t be hungry.

It was my mom buying extra foods during family holidays so I could eat with everyone in case the food served was something I refused to eat.

It was my whole family still loving me even though I was ashamed of myself.

As a picky eater, I struggled with food, a lot. But looking back, my family was always willing to try and help to make sure I didn’t ever feel hungry, left out, or unloved.

To any fellow picky eater out there - there’s a food out there for you. You just have to be willing to take the first bite.
