#also normal behavior
Text
fyi how long it takes me to post a m*a*s*h update makes it SEEM like i have a lot of self-control and am only watching one episode a day but that is incorrect. i'm watching everything like three times and rolling around in the details like a ferret let loose in the snow. i grew up in the vhs-recording 90s where you'd get two star treks and an x-file every week, and i'd get up at five in the morning to rewatch one of them before school every day AND tune in for every rerun and that has not changed. sometimes i get comments on fic like "wow your dialogue sounds just like them" YEAH it fuckin SHOULD some weeks i hear these people talk more than my own family. this is completely normal and healthy by the way
#not even touching on the fact that my sister and i would have star trek marathons like we were training for the olympics#on weekends she was over here we'd fuckin PLAN we would rest up all week so we could STAY UP and try to beat the record#my dad would come downstairs and make us run around outside in the snow between episodes#and we'd do it in BARE FEET to hype us up and keep us awake for the duration#also normal behavior#i remember being entire adults and going on a double date with some new dudes and both of us being like#:) we watched 30 hours of star trek in a row once :)#that's the most impressive thing you should know about us

guard dog crowley reporting for duty
#good omens#gomens#goodomensedit#crowley#my gifs#tvgifs#tvedit#do you think he does it on purpose?#or do you think he just thinks this is normal 'friend' behavior#and no one has told him otherwise#least of all aziraphale who finds it endearing#also this scene is weirdly difficult to color so forgive the blue looking suit#I'm still learning these things

no, but really, we need to talk about the casual objectification that has become the fallback discourse of the internet: if you're pretty and dressed nicely, you're a slut. and if you're even vaguely outside of their body standard, you're fucking disgusting.
too-frequently, people position sex workers as being "the problem". they sneer you're addicted to pornography, you don't know what a real woman looks like. but real women are in pornography. the real bodies on display are not the issue here: the issue is that other people feel extremely confident when commenting on someone's physique.
2000's super-thin is slowly worming its way back into the public ideal. recently i saw someone get told to "go for a run", despite the fact she was on the thinner side of average. not that it would ever be appropriate to say that: but it's kind of like sticker shock when you see it. people think that is fat? holy shit. do they just have no idea about things?
but what are you going to do about it? that's the problem, right. because chances are - you're a normal person. we can say normalize carrying fat on your body, but we are not the billion-dollar diet industry. we are not the billion-dollar fashion industry. we are just, like. people. who are trying to make content on the internet, without being treated shittily.
as someone who has been on both sides of things: you are treated better when you are thin and pretty. this is statistically correct. i am not saying that you cannot be bullied for being thin; i'm saying there are objective institutional biases against certain bodytypes. there are videos of men and women who lost weight all saying: i now know for a fact exactly how much worse you're treated. in the comments, some asshole inevitably says something akin to you deserved to be dehumanized when you were fat.
which means that ... the easiest thing to do is be pretty and thin. it is the path of least resistance, because of course it is, because any time you post a picture of yourself without a thigh gap, someone immediately comments something like you need to try a diet.
the other half is also dehumanizing though, huh, just in a different way. when i put on makeup and nice clothes, i am told i slept my way to the top as a professional. do you know how many women in STEM have told me they purposefully dress to "unimpress" because they already struggle to be taken seriously and if they're ever considered pretty - it for some reason takes away from their authority.
so they make it seem like it's your fault. you, existing in a body - it's your fault! if you didn't want shitty comments, don't have a body. they position us against each other like chess pieces; vying for male attention we don't even need.
and i can be an authority on this unless you think i'm fat and unattractive. when i am pretty and thin, i'm an activist. when i am just a normal person who makes a good point: i am immediately dismissed. nobody fucking believes you if you're not seen as attractive. you literally lose value. you cease to exist.
but the whole time, it feels like - is anyone actually grounded the fuck in reality? the line of "pretty and thin" keeps shifting. nobody seems to understand what "a normal weight" even looks like, because it's not something that exists - you cannot tell a person's health by looking at their body. even if you think you could tell that, even if you're sure a person is dangerously overweight - people are not your dolls. they do not need to be dressed up or displayed properly to soothe your aesthetics. you aren't concerned for them, you're stealing their agency. you don't get to say if they're "allowed" to take pictures and post them on the internet - you don't get to tell them how to exist.
people hide behind "the obesity epidemic" without any actual qualifications. they crow things about "normalizing unhealthiness".
but it's bullshit. i have visible abs. there is a pair of parallel lines on my body, even when i'm relaxed; where my obliques meet my abdominal wall. i am proud of this because it means i'm strong, because i overcame an eating disorder only to be ripped as fuck. it is genetic and physical luck that i even get any definition, i'm pleased as punch.
but it does mean that my abdominal wall sticks out a little bit. the other day i posted a video of myself dancing, and, for a moment, my shirt slipped. you could see a little bit of my stomach. i was cartwheeling to the floor. moments before this, i'd had my foot over my head.
a guy slid into my DMs. a row of vomiting emojis prefaced: you should really lose some weight before you think about dancing.
i stared at it for a long time. there was a time when i would have been triggered by this, where it would have encouraged me to starve myself. i would have ignored the fact i'm flexible, agile, good at jumping: i would have lost the weight for a stranger's passing comment. i would have found myself and my body fucking disgusting.
and for what? to please what? because why? so that he can exist in this world without an unchallenged eyeball? what would my self-hatred even accomplish? usually i write paragraphs. obviously. on this particular occasion, in this body i've been at war with for ages: i just felt exhausted.
it shouldn't be even worth saying. it shouldn't be hard to explain. all of this emotional turmoil when he cannot even comprehend the most basic truth: i am not an object on display for him.
#spilled ink#writeblr#warm up#like if im getting fatshamed. babe......... wake up#is there fat on my body? yes :)#btw this behavior wouldn't be okay even if I WAS overweight!!! that is my point!!!#it is both that people have no idea what weight is supposed to look like#and even if they DID... they do not seem to understand that PEOPLE ARE NOT DOLLS#YOU DO NOT GET TO TELL THEM HOW TO EXIST#if you respond anything akin to ''but raquel there IS an obesity epidemic''#you're blocked and reported.#go fucking DONATE TO A FOOD BANK THEN. volunteer in a food desert. start a free fitness program#GO GET A DEGREE AS A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL AND PRACTICE IN NUTRITION IN UNDERPRIVILEDGED LOCATIONS#FIGURE OUT HOW TO LOWER FOOD COSTS. FIGURE OUT HOW TO NORMALIZE AND STANDARDIZE#ACCESS TO FARM-FRESH FOOD. PROVIDE ACTUAL FREE ACCESS TO OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES#FIGURE OUT HOW TO TEACH PEOPLE HEALTHY CHOICE MAKING WHILE ALSO LOWERING THE COST OF MEALS.#THE AVERAGE GROCERY BILL OF THE AMERICAN CITIZEN HAS QUADRUPILED IN THE LAST YEAR.#SHUT. THE FUCK. UP!!!!!!!!!#you don't want to help these people!!!!!#you want to bully them but still feel like a good person!#you want to be justified in your hatred of an entire CLASS of people!!!#you don't give a fuck about how it makes them feel!!!!#you care ONLY about whether or not YOU get to VIRTUE SIGNAL that YOURE so thin and pretty!!!!#it is BECAUSE of people like you#and the fact you tolerate fatphobia - BECAUSE of that normalization. that men like the one who called me fat#feel like they can get away with it.#bc there's a line for you where you WOULD be okay with it. where if i WASNT thin you'd be okay with it.#which means the line can always be pushed in a certain direction. and it's always going to appeal to male aesthetics.#''well you didn't deserve it'' maybe fucking NOBODY does babe. maybe we should just all agree not to comment on ppls bodies!!

the real reason Steve brings a date to a high school basketball game for a high school he doesn’t even go to anymore is because the one time Nancy went with him the team won and his sports superstitions kicked in and he can’t just risk Lucas losing because of him not having a date, so he will take on the burden and ridicule of being the guy who graduated and drags new dates to games all in the name of not upsetting the delicate intricacies of rituals in sports
#i am so obsessed with him bringing a date to that game like i think about it constantly#because like wasn’t it a first date? or at least one of the firsts? absolutely insane behavior to me#okay i can see it being normal if it’s just ‘we’re both going wanna go together?’ buT that’s less fun to me#also weird sports superstitions steve is so real and true to me#god i love sports people with their little rituals i’m obsessed#coming out of the woodworks with this absolute mess of a post like i’m sorry this is all i have#it is 6am and i have not slept so i apologize for if my wording is messy here#stranger things#steve harrington#dels stranger things thoughts

wow... what a season. it feels weird to say that this little 6-episode side quest, in all of the 19 seasons of d20, is one of my favorites they've ever done but it just is. it had all the stakes and humor and drama that you could possibly want, all balanced with an incredible cast of players. the table chemistry was excellent, the characters were so perfectly themselves, the TROPES were OFF THE CHARTS!
i can't quite remember the last time i finished something and ached so sharply for there to be more. i just know I'm gonna be thinking about this one for a long time
#i didnt delay watching the ep like i normally would so i feel like ill end up delaying making posts about it instead lol#i dont WANT to. i have lots of thoughts id like to share. but also once i get started putting them to words im gonna get WAY off track.#lots of revising will need to be done.#the adhd is strong with this one.#v excited to continue collecting cool art and fanfics tho. ever since trw ive been on the verge of picking up writing again#and i fear the worst for my already terribly hectic behaviors when it comes to hyperfixation consumption#dimension 20#d20#mentopolis

People need to stop suggesting clinical diagnoses for the Only Friends characters. Apart from Ray and maybe Top, everything we've seen so far is consistent with a diagnosis of Being 22. It's a condition with an extremely broad range of presentation and severity, and clearly most of these characters are suffering a fairly acute and debilitating case, but it is more common in the human population than you might think, and does usually resolve without intervention.
#only friends the series#seriously stop pathologising everything#just because a behavior is not healthy or kind doesn't mean it isn't normal#and pathologising creates distance instead of letting us look at the unhealthy and unkind impulses we also carry

The Toa Mata experience element withdrawal but i see it as also being a specifically them thing like no other fucking toa team will get as bad if theyre not in their element for a long enough time. tbh its specifically a post-canister Mata thing i don't think they would have gotten element withdrawal before that. what being reborn in the middle of unbound nature does to a mf
Kopaka is So Brave about it bc snow isnt exactly everywhere but when he does find it and hes alone hes jumping into it face first like an arctic fox looking for mice. Gali is in the middle of a conversation and suddenly she creates a whole cilinder of water to encase herself in bc she doesnt wanna be rude but she also REALLY needs to be in the water Right Now. Onua will just sink into the earth no matter what hes doing he don't give a fuck. Pohatu laying down on the most jagged pile of rubble n all his siblings just pile rocks on his back like a weighted blanket. Lewa floating around like a plastic bag or maybe shoving his face in the leaves and grass feeling the air being made. LET👏TAHU👏SIT👏IN👏THE👏 BURNING👏COALS👏 IT'S👏GOOD👏ENRICHMENT👏FOR👏HIM👏
#bionicle#toa mata#random talks#this is Not normal toa behavior they are just FREAKS (beloved)#takanuva also needs to stand in front of a light source for hours sometimes but hes got something different going on. as takanuva does

while I love the idea that our mutual bestie Jonathan Harker has no idea that he's in a horror novel, I think the funniest thing about the story so far is that he is fully aware that he's in a horror novel and is trying so hard to pretend he is not
#he's just like me fr#dracula daily#also I've never read the book and I have no idea what's going to happen#johnathan rocking back and forth trying to convince himself this is normal behavior#mine

Your art tastes like aged paper, sugar, and chocolate to me, with a hint of salt every so often
Machete looks like white chocolate, and Vasco's like buttery caramel
.
#aw#that sounds nice#anonymous#answered#I was wondering what the aged paper is doing there but it reminded me of something#so I'm going to share a weird personal detail totally unprompted#I think I used to have pica disorder when I was a kid I would gnaw on and eat a lot of small inedible objects#pieces of cardboard rubber bands and blu tack#the plastic animal figurines I had had bitemarks on them and were often missing bodyparts like if a dog had gotten to them#also a ton of uncooked pasta#I think it wasn't a flavor thing I had obsessions for specific textures that weren't found in actual foods#I particularly craved those candy wrappers that are made of waxed paper#(finns might be familiar with pihlaja or marianne wrappers for example or those translucent inner wrappers in lehmäkarkki/ cow cream fudge)#can't say for sure when it stopped but one day I realized that hey hold on this probably isn't normal human behavior#I think I was over 10 but under 15#and I had forgotten the whole thing but got such a vivid flashback from that line it was actually kind of alarming
