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!!

“What’s this one supposed to mean?”
“Hmm..beauty or strength, sometimes.”
“Perfect.”

Who do you think has the best and the worst pain tolerance out of the turtles?
Honestly no idea!! I’ll have to rewatch to make certain but right now from memory my genuine answer would be All of Them have a mostly average pain tolerance to start but REALLY DAMN HIGH durability. Some probably have higher pain tolerance to certain things than the others do and vice versa, like burns vs shocks vs blunt force trauma etc etc having different effects on the different brothers simply by virtue of what they experience the most or just naturally hold up against more.
#non au ask#like genuinely really hard question to answer#I almost said Donnie since his lower defenses due to his softshell would mean he came across things getting passed those defenses more often#but tbh I think you could make a really solid argument for near each of the boys in some respect#MAN I really want to do like a stat sheet one day for the boys#like strength I’m almost entirely certain is Raph>Donnie=Mikey>Leo>>>>average human#but it’d be fun to deal with like strength defense speed etc#one day

Thanks for the formal wear Blade, Mihoyo! Now do you mind if I just- *puts the trauma back on him*
#honkai star rail#hsr#hsr blade#blade hsr#very nice! you know what would be even nicer? some scars#*opens photoshop*#this is the height of I CAN DO WHAT I WANT and what i want is visibly scarred blade#this doesn't show much skin but it shows more than his usual outfit#so i consider it free real estate to add scars in areas that are usually covered#namely the lower part of his neck and his wrist#thank you psy for that caption that made me laugh#put the trauma back on this man#i refuse to believe he has the skill or the interest to cover them with makeup#also i personally want to see scars so i'm making them happen#mihoyo isn't my boss they can't stop me#ray's records

the new video was greatly needed if watcher had any hopes of staying afloat. unfortunately, this backpedaling does not change the fact that
1) high production "television quality" content is what they want to make
2) this content is evidently not what people want to watch (even post-apology i'm seeing a lot of people saying they liked bfu better than anything watcher has produced)
again, if they have a clear vision of what they want to make, that's great. but unless there's a market for that content, then it's not going to turn a profit, or break even for that matter. yes, artists deserve to be paid for their work, but art is always bought by people who want and have an interest in said art.
im an artist pursuing my dreams too, but i don't expect people to buy my niche paintings just on the principle that i am an artist creating what i want. if i wanted to make money from this and turn it into a business, i would take commissions and specifically create what other people want. that is what having any kind of artistic job is about, unfortunately.
it's great if what you want to create and what people want to see overlap, but that's not always the case. and i really fear this is the case with watcher and they won't pivot enough to fix any of their problems
#here's an example#i know gmm is a way bigger company but#rhett and link do gmm stuff#but occasionally produce something a lot more involved and creative that is inspired solely by their wants#those videos dont do nearly as good as gmm does#but its an outlet for them to still have some creative control#and the people who like those videos love them (im one of them!)#so it is possible to both produce content that is profitable and to make content that pleases you as an artist#you just have to find a balance with it and unfortunately watcher has no balance at all#like even watcher's 'lower quality' work uses so many resources like. guys theres a reason youre bleeding money#and people giving you $6 isnt going to fix it#they need an overhaul#cut back to basics to find their footing before trying these super ambitious projects that they're not sure will pay off#watcher#im talking again

that post that's like "learning social skills helps with social anxiety" applies to dating also btw
#i guess they have a circular relationship because also going on lots of first dates was really trial by fire for me in learning lots lf#new social skills#meeting new people was never my strong suit and i was very afraid of it and would avoid it but like!#when i first tried going on first dates i learned a lot about how to meet people and met types of queer people i'd never met before#and actually it was good for me even though it was often weird and stressful#and it was a lower-stakes way to practice social skills that i otherwise would've just avoided using until they atrophied#anyway whenever i see a dating profile that's like 'i'm afraid of talking to women lol' i'm like ok relatable but what's your plan to learn#i think also just like it doesn't have to be through dating but it is good for you to meet other gay and trans people offline if possible#when i moved to wisconsin i only knew my coworkers who were mostly also twentysomethings who'd been hired straight from college#and it was good for me to meet and make friends with other local gay and trans people who were involved in different stuff#idk i just don't know how many more 'i'm obsessed with romance but scoff at the idea that i should do anything about that' posts i can read#like if i said i wanted to run a marathon but i never practiced running people would fairly be like okay that's prob not gonna happen#idk i know it's no skin off my nose i'm just like. if you never take any steps towards expressing your desires#how do you think they're going to just happen to you#personal nonsense

whenever i see people using plural tags alongside anti endo tags i get the urge to ask them why theyre buying clothes at the soup store
#syscourse#avoid whoever you want but if you're afraid of furries you shouldnt network at anthrocon#i dont plan on syscoursing on this blog often but i do need to fire some shots to lower the rent#and also make fun of people who dont bother paying attention to what labels they apply to themselves

i think the weirdest bit of lore ive decided to adopt into my belief system is that the rgg plushies have different 'underwear' colors and therefore ive decided thats canonically the underwear color those dudes wear
#snap chats#'snap why do you know that' dont look at me#BUT NO LISTEN- i genuinely forget why i even looked BUT POINT IS LIKE#cause mine and daigo's plushies both have white undergarments but aoki has black ..... i have literally no use for this info...#'undergarment' is a strong word for daigo's situation cause it's just a white body at that point#but mine and aoki have like. distinct different-colored lower halves and i have no idea why but its really funny#if other people have the other rgg plushies and want to confess to being freaks i wanna know their. underwear colors 💀💀#ill make a normal post one day i promise

My company has a thing where if you do something that other people appreciate they give you reward points* that you can then redeem for gift cards.
I never know what to use them for, but today I just redeemed some for some absurdly expensive pillows and bed linen that I would never justify spending real money on.
Goodbye Ikea pillows!!
#* btw I absolutely despise this because I'd rather just get a % raise instead of random gift cards#and I'm not 100% sure but I think the rewards also gets taxed as a fringe benefit#so when you get one of these rewards your paycheck that week is actually a little lower because they withhold some taxes#(but I might be wrong about the tax bit I asked HR and instead of answering they replied “why do you want to know that” lol)#also it makes me 🙄 at the things that do and don't get recognized

The scaling is so fucked here and i know that but i still had some kind of yuri-starved sicko reaction to these pixels. If i can be vulnerable
#shout out to when millia is like do you want me to put you out of your misery and testament is like no it feels good.#that was a normal thing to put in the game#TOO MUCH TESTAMENT YAOI I NEED YURI!!! THEY CAN DO THAT TOO!!!!!!!#anyway. even with her wide stance she shouldnt be much lower than their chin. ? more or less.#man why did they make more characters that are taller than testament. i liked it when jt was only potemkin and faust#cuz like they dont count.#the kat goes meow#gg

okay i'm going to be nicer to totk for real now *deletes most of my drafts*
#bwark#god i'm fucking trying to have some kind of epiphany here where i can have it all click and be like ''even if i have my problems i can still#get enjoyment out of it'' but this game makes it so damn difficult#''i can discuss the story'' wait nope can't. story sucks ass and butt#''what about the exploration? that was the best part of botw'' uh no can't do that when the surface is practically the same and there's no#substance to the sky or the depths#''gameplay?'' i don't like ultrahand. which sucks when that's 90% of the gameplay#i respect the work that must've gone into it and the creativity it's drawn from fans but making one gameplay aspect literally ALL YOU DO#runs the risk of alienating people who can't get behind#and sure other zelda games have their gimmicks but it's different#like take tp for example. i get that the wolf mechanic isn't for everyone. but aside from the early game twilight sections and a few sparse#puzzles in the later game you're never really forced to play as wolf so it doesn't overstay its welcome#god i just remembered that totk turned wolf link into meat chunks. another thing they took from us 😔#actually on that genuinely why couldn't they just bring him back?#like you're reusing a ton of shit from botw anyway??#which brings me back to my main point is that anything that isn't new is just. botw again#shrines are back but they're uglier. dungeons are the divine beasts but in a new coat of paint#why did they add more shrines to the game anyway? like you'd think they'd at least lower the number because fans didn't want them to return#the SINGULAR leg up i can think of id the bosses. yeah i love botw and i'll hold my hands up and say that a lot of the common complaints for#it don't bother me personally but yeah the blights absolutely sucked#divebombing colgera with the dragon roost theme playing was the closest thing that this game came to giving me an experience#okay i'll shut up now I'M GOING TO BE NICE EVEN IF IT KILLS ME
