“I get your point.”

“I’m a dead man.”

“This is strange…” 

“Translation: I’m lost.”

“You will draw them to us.”

“You are not to be harmed.”

“What exactly is your plan…?”

“Everyone must stay indoors.”

“Besides, you’re lost, anyway.”

“I think we’ll get along just fine.”

“Some of them may still be alive.”

“C’mon, you’re gonna wish you did.”

“Do we have that much time? Do we?”

“We should allow them to come to us.”

“I’m getting a weird vibe all of a sudden.”

“That wasn’t impressive enough for you?”

“I really think we should get out of here…”

“We have not dealt with others so graciously.”

“You realize I originally sent you out for FOOD?”

“I think in the future, I should do the negotiating.”

“I thought we were just learning how to get along.”

“Are you trying to convince me this is good news?”

“Seems we have no choice but to trust each other.”

“Maybe we should offer a sense of humor for trade.”

“Of course, everything’s a shortcut in _____’s world.”

“I know, it’s getting desperate. We’re almost out of coffee.”

“You’re forgetting something, we’re both on the same side!”

“I think the real question right now is, are we allies? Or are we still prisoners?”

“You just said these people were ready to string you up, how can you trust them?”

“You know, if people could just learn to keep their secret, underground hatches locked…”

“These are my friends. I would not have brought them if I did not think them worthy to become yours.”

((It’s been forever and a day since I’ve been on here, and I’ve jumped fandoms twice (Mystic Messenger -> Fullmetal Alchemist) but I would mind lightly getting involved on here again. It’s been too long for me to find or remember threads I had, so I’m going to drop all of those. Although if you have one you want to pick up again, IM me. I’ll try to check at least once a day. But if you’d be interested in writing with me again, can you give this a like? I won’t be on a lot, but I’ll either look through your blog for a starter, or shoot you a message.

WHEN WILL PEOPLE FUCKING REALIZE THAT

MEN

ALSO

ARE

GIVEN

UNREALISTIC

EXPECTATIONS

DO YOU HAVE ANY FUCKING IDEA

HOW IMPOSSIBLE IT IS

TO LOOK LIKE THIS???

IT’S 100% FUCKING ILLOGICAL TO EXPECT MEN TO HAVE THIS RIPPED SIX-PACK ABS AND BE SKINNY AND HAVE PERFECT SKIN AND FACIAL COMPLEXION!  MEN ALSO EXPERIENCE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE WITH OUR BODIES ALL. THE. FUCKING. TIME.

[squided]

I’m bringing back the REAL post.  For those of you who care enough about how body image issues effect BOTH MEN AND WOMEN and how ignoring men with eating disorders or who have depression or deep insecurities because of their body image is not just ignorant, but it’s horribly insulting.  Making fun of this post means you are telling men who feel degraded that they should feel bad about themselves and that they don’t mean anything.  For everyone who reblogged the posts that made fun of this original post, shame on you.  I’m very disappointed.  Please share the original because this is an important issue.

Also raised to my attention is I neglected to add people of color to this post, I am sorry for my negligence so I shall add bonus images here of unrealistic expectations for men of every race, I chose Men’s Health Magazine because it’s extremely popular in telling men how to look:

[emile8]

No, guys, you don’t understand. I just got so relieved seeing this original post again that I nearly cried.

[nicthefanboy]

Bless the blog that brought the original back!

[safety-officer-barto-deactivate]

Here’s the original post without some of you asshats changing the pictures

[ladywordfighter]

This is actually the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve seen the original post, which goes to show how quickly people turned it into a joke. I confess that I did laugh at some of the absurd replacement images in the other versions, and I feel guilty for that now because I, like many, was missing an extremely important message.

To all of my male followers who struggle with self-esteem: I support you too. Even though I’m really quiet and have a bad habit of going weeks or months without posting, I WILL be there for you if you come to me wanting to talk or just vent. That’s a promise.

[xxleondraxx]

Another thing to note that in all, ALL, of those pictures the men are actively flexing. And often such defenition for shoots is exaggerated by dehydration, airbrushing and photoshopping. That chiseled look isn’t a look you can acheive at rest without literal implants. Here are 2 examples of flexed vs relaxed:

And you know what? Dollars to doughnuts none of the above muscular looking guys are as strong as these men:

These are strongmen. These are the bodies of men that train for strength, not defenition. These guys can practically lift cars and drag trains.

So men of the world that get depressed about not looking like you just stepped off a magazine cover, relax. You don’t have to look like that. You are handsome, beautiful and fantastic the way you are.

[randomslasher]

To all my beautiful boys <3 Please read and heed. You’re amazing, and you don’t have to look any particular way. This goes for transboys too. You’re handsome no matter what!!!

[senorcyborg]

As someone who has suffered from depression and have literally forgone eating because of my own body issues, this is really helpful.

[ethan---green]

ALSO!!!!

You don’t have to be strong to be beautiful!!! You can be chubby! Or skinny!! You don’t need muscle to be attractive

[nakiokoye-deactivated20180529]

the reason why steve and thor are so Large and buff is bc their muscles are full of love and respect and humility and compassion

“You have seaweed in your hair.” 

“What do you think is down in the Abyss?” 

“Leave that poor fish alone!” 

“Your scales are looking quite exquisite today.” 

“I didn’t know you could light up like that.” 

“I never expected to, uh, catch a fish with a human face before…” 

“Now what do we have here tangled up in our lines?” 

“Never thought to find a land dweller here.”

“Um… hello down there?” 

“Are you hiding in the sand?” 

“You won’t find anything decent to eat here.” 

“Don’t be shy- come out from under the dock.”

“For being half-fish, you’re surprisingly agile on land.” 

“I’ve never met someone with an octopus lower half before!” 

“What… sort of creature are you?” 

“I’ve finally caught you.” 

“You’re really smooth!” 

“Oh, you poor thing, getting tangled up.” 

“You’re trespassing, human.” 

“I found you some coral!” 

“Look what I found!” 

“O-oh.. it’s… really dark down here…” 

“How do I get out of this cave network…?”

“This boat… will sink!” 

“Get your dry hands off me!” 

“Living in an aquarium isn’t so bad…” 

“I miss the ocean…” 

“W-where am I…?”

adulthood is just a constant struggle of, “man, i want cookies for breakfast, but I also recognize this is a bad nutritional decision.  On the other hand, the only one who can stop me is me.  i know that fucker’s weaknesses.  i could totally take me in a fight.”

shakespeare is not pretentious. fans of shakespeare are pretentious. shakespeare is twelve hundred dirty jokes strung together by increasingly ridiculous plotlines and increasingly homosexual characters. don’t let the archaic language fool you

“You need to stop doing stupid shit like that or you will get yourself killed.” (hehe angry mom)

@askfemsnakefrance

He blinked at her, than looked down at his broken arm, before giving her a smirk and a look that asked ‘really?’

“Dude, It’s just a broken arm, you can’t say it hasn’t been worse.” He laughed a bit, “Besides, I’ll be good as new in about a week or two.~”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

His good hand slapped at his forehead, “Yeah, Way different…” He offered a weary smile, “Just trust that I’m fine?”

[askfemsnakefrance]

“…alright but so help me if you are lying you will get an earful…” She replied crossing her arms

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Tell you what,” he grinned, “if it’s not better by the end of next week, my ear is yours.”

[askfemsnakefrance]

she nodded and smiled a bit more “alright but you know i worry because you are still my little boy…”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Ehh,” He shrugged, than smiled, “I can’t help that though.”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

Francine pulled her cloak close as she looked at her map, sadly she had trusted her husband earlier and he refused to admit they had been lost till nightfall leaving the family in the middle of the forest. Francine crossed her arms and looked to her son with a frown "learn from your father's mistake, when lost admit it so we can ask for directions..."

@askfemsnakefrance

The child frowned, holding onto her hand as he tried to keep up. 

“Does that mean we’re not gonna make the festival…?” he wondered, the disappointment clear in his voice. He had really been excited to see the masters doing what he could only dream of one day. He was also hoping, even at his age, someone might be able to help him at least learn. Not that his father hadn’t tried, but…. it was different. 

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Yay!” He cheered, throwing his arms up excitedly before quickly grasping back onto the collar of Arthur’s cloak. “Let’s go! Let’s go!”

Arthur coughed when his cloak was pulled back by the boy’s excited movements, catching the front himself. “Careful, If you choke me, we may not make it anywhere.” He only half teased, earning a giggle and an apology from the boy. 

[askfemsnakefrance]

Francine smiled warmly “maybe you will learn a trick or two from Them!”

Maddie yawned softly and looked up slowly “hm?”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“You think they’ll show me how?” He wondered, leaning forward even more on top of Arthur’s head. 

“Perhaps they’ll know someone who can.” Arthur encouraged with a grimace as he pried the boy’s hands from his hair.

💤 (for morethanjustabaystate because siblings do this XD)

Send me a ‘💤’ to jump on my muse while they’re trying to sleep.

@morethanjustabaystate

Alfred jolted awake at the impact, his hands flying instantly to his stomach only to find Sarah as he took in a sharp breath for air. He’d managed to doze off on the couch, only to be woken by the little sister herself. 

“Sweet Jesus, Sarah!” He gasped, looking up at the girl who had yet to move. 

[morethanjustabaystate]

the small woman smiled cheekly “what you are comfy Alfie~ also this is payback for giving me half your paperwork after i finished mine… and i missed a date because i had to do it for you”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Giving you my…” He was groggy, and gave her a puzzled look before dropping his head back down, “I didn’t make you do anything, I told you I’d do it later….” He grumbled, “I told you to go if you wanted to.” He groaned.

[morethanjustabaystate]

“no you said you couldn’t because you were too tired… had you said i could go i wouldn’t have missed my date and wouldn’t have had to tell aldy that i would have to meet with him another day” she tutted “ginny had high tailed it out of the roo and i was the only big sis left for you to mooch on…”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

Picking her up with ease and moving her so he could actually sit up, he grumbled a bit, still waking up, “I told Ginny you could both go, guess they didn’t relay that to you. I was planning on doing it all later on.”

[morethanjustabaystate]

“she never says anything… just goes off to the closest club to do stuff” she made a face  “normally for you later on is always pushed back… plus now that i missed my date i need to buy a plane to go across the atlantic now… ”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

He let out a groggy sigh and pushed himself up, dragging himself to the kitchen for a cup of coffee. “Fine, I’ll get your tickets…”

[morethanjustabaystate]

she crossed her arms “you know if you went to bed at a reasonable hour you wouldn’t be so tired…”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Lies,” He declared, “I’m tired all the time, sleep or not.”

[morethanjustabaystate]

“Because you never get on a proper sleep schedual… trust me it helps”

[alfred-freakin-jones]

“Yeaaahhh....” he sighs, “That never seems to work. Anyways!,” he decides to change the subject, “what DID you have planned?”
