I’m so happy I’m fat 🥰 I love grabbing substantial handfuls of my tummy and feeling its comforting weight 💕 I love shaking my body around and feeling myself jiggle like pudding 💖 I feel really sexy when I wear bodycon outfits and fill them out, or let my fat rolls peek under my crop tops ❤️‍🔥 I love that my my body is a comfortable place for my girlfriend to lay, and that I can carefully squash the lights outta her when she wants pressure 💘 I love that my body fat keeps me warm when the power goes out during a winter storm and our house gets down to 32 degrees inside 💗 I’m so glad that I got over my teenage obsession with staying skinny and grew into a fat and happy adult 😊

How do you feel about the "constantine dad is abusive" plot? I'm kind of disappointed tbh

ooooff okay ummm

definitely agree w u here. it's very disappointing from multiple perspectives. it's giving me very much "arthur punching his dad is symbolic of him turning into his father 😳" except instead of being a fan analysis it's... kinda coming directly from the writers

just generally speaking yes in real life u'll hear abt horrible ppl n then find out they're victims of abuse but there r also ppl who are just like that bc they're Like That. doesn't have to be a trauma behind it. "local bully was bound to end up like this bc he's an abuse victim n those ppl just can't be trusted to be kind n they're dangerous n suspicious n toxic" is not the fresh new unique take druck thinks it is.

also when it comes to constantin's role in the bullying this has two directions. like being a victim of abuse doesn't give u any right to inflict harm on others so this rly can't be used as an "explanation" for his actions. especially bc now we also know some things abt how they bullied ava ("big mama" "fat cow"...) those r not just general things u say to ppl bc ur frustrated w ur own life n want to take it out on someone else (which, just to be clear, isn't any better either) but they're very targeted insults abt ava... smth that in constantin's (& ismail's) eyes made ava lesser than them. so to then try to imply that the reason behind constantin's actions is more abt his inner turmoil n his own terrible life instead of the very clear external bigotry that he has canonically exhibited...... yeah

also this is where i think they kind of backed themselves in a corner w this bc ofc they don't have to do that? if they go the other direction they can still emphasize that constantin is fully responsible for everything n the abuse isn't what caused all that. but then they kind of end up enforcing the thought that this absue victim just happens to also be a bad person guess it runs in the family. (this all also applies to the way he treats ismail n how he's a bad friend, like sometimes ppl r bad friends bc they r Like That, not bc they ~learned it from their parents~ or some shit that would in some ppl's eyes reduce the accountability)

it isn't directly comparable but it all reminds me of the "homophobic bully turns out to be a closeted gay" trope as if the only reason homophobes exist is bc they're actually gay ppl n cishets would never actually bully anyone abt their sexuality. here it's like. yeah the aggressor is a skinny white dude n the victim is a fat black girl but surely the only reason he'd ever bully her is bc he has completely unrelated personal issues that he doesn't know how to handle. obviously there's no other reason he might be picking on her specifically, white guys would normally never do that.

so yeah it's kind of like a lose lose situation now, not many good ways left to handle that storyline anymore. i made a post abt it before the season even started, abt how i wish constantin would rly just be a shitty person. end of. no need to elaborate on it all bc sometimes teenagers rly just r horrible to each other for the hell of it. more often than not there actually rly isn't anything deeper behind it all n for this particular story that would've been much more useful n meaningful.
