I was sleeping when the zine was posted ^^; But here is my artwork for the @anachronism-ahitzine :Dc
I wanted to concentrate on characters that definitely wouldn't get any attention, and give them a lot of love. Also this make me appreciate Fish Dude's design xD

So The Tourist actually had the ⚾⚾ to feature a main female character outside the Hollywood Beauty Standards™ (and I remark Hollywood standards because Danielle Macdonald is BEAUTIFUL) and not only that SPOILER AFTER THE JUMP
she also gets the Hot Male Main Character™ played by Jamie Dornan in the end.
Yassss.

My new obsession is The Tourist on Netflix and I'm sad to see the Fandom on here for it isn't very big (yet🤞). I've been on a hunt the last two or more years for books with plus sized main characters, but have had a hard time finding any that are realistic or don't involve magical shape-shifters or mob bosses. They're good enough to scratch the itch, but just don't feel real or relatable enough. (Please, if anyone has recommendations, feel free to share.)
The Tourist though, is pretty great. I love Danielle Macdonald in Dumplin', but what I like even more about this one is that while her struggle with her own weight and self-image is a part of her character and her story, it's a pretty small part overall. Most movies or books I've seen with plus-sized main characters make the entire storyline surrounding their weight and self-esteem issues. This has action, mystery, comedy, romance, all of it. It's a storyline with two people who go through a bunch of shit together and it draws them closer together, and it could be any two people in the world, but it just so happens to be a very conventionally attractive man and an unconventionally (by Hollywood standards) attractive, plus-sized woman who looks unlike anyone else ever put into a role like this one.
Reminds me a bit of Melissa McCarthy in Spy or Rebel Wilson in Isn't it Romantic, where the plus-sized woman has hunky, hot men as love interests with little-to-no question or fanfare. Just men and women who like each other, which I think is nice, just like in any other story. It's not just looks either, Helen(fmc) is also a very quirky, awkward, compassionate character too. But for once, it's not just a comedy and it's a running show, not just a one-time movie.
Idk, there's a lot I like about it and it gives me some hope for the future. Maybe post-strikes we'll see more diverse representation, specifically in romance.
Maybe if you've made it this far you'll consider giving it a chance🤞😆🤞 I need people to talk to about it.

the tourist is just what happens when an unstoppable force (elliot's shit past) meets an unmovable object (helen's intrinsic i can fix him instinct)
