Body Positive Loki - Hiatus

I am Loki of Asgard, the God of Mischief (they/them). My brother Thor believes that the body positive movement will help me to be more at peace with my Jotunn form, and I created this blog so that he would cease pestering me about it. Body positivity and other issues.

disabled bodies are beautiful. bodies with atrophied muscles are beautiful. bodies with missing limbs are beautiful. bodies with surgery scars are beautiful. bodies with fused fingers are beautiful. bodies that shake & tremble are beautiful. bodies that sit in wheelchairs are beautiful. bodies that support themselves with canes & walkers are beautiful. bodies that jerk & spasm are beautiful. bodies with blind & missing eyes are beautiful. bodies with tubes in them are beautiful. bodies with hypermobile joints are beautiful. bodies with joints that creak & pop are beautiful. bodies with joints that don’t move at all are beautiful. disabled bodies are beautiful. disabled people are beautiful. we are beautiful

“Beauty isn’t ageist; people are.” There’s no age cap on beauty. There’s no cap on beauty at all. (Please do not remove my caption thank you thank you!)

anybody else tired of photosets of models or drawings where people are like “omg it’s so nice to see ALL bodies/body types/people represented” when all the people are able-bodied?

like gimmie photosets that include people with prosthetic limbs or in wheelchairs or with walkers or other aids or with their service dog or anything else u can think of. pls stop forgetting that disabled people exist outside of sad posts or weird “you-could-have-it-worse-so-be-grateful” inspiration posts

i’m a big believer in body positivity but tagging pictures of me existing as a visibly disabled person w/ #body positivity when the caption says nothing about body positivity is inspiration porn. it’s ableist. stop doing it

A Photographer Started A Photo Project To Show That Women With Cystic Fibrosis Are Gorgeous

The photo project “Salty Girls,” by fashion photographer Ian Pettigrew, is meant to help women with the life-threatening disease take back ownership of their bodies.

why is it that when a latina overfills their lips they are a “chola” but when white girls start to do it, its a trend?

how come a black person’s dreads automatically make them look like they smell like patchouli oil and weed and are branded dirty thugs, but when a white person does it, it’s boho chic, a style statement and representative of a love for nature?

why is it that so many little ethnic girls had to spend their childhood being called a monkey because of their thick eyebrows, but suddenly since white beauty made the switch from thin to thick brows, its what everybody wants now?

and when latinas draw on their eyebrows to make them look thinner, or when black girls relax their hair, or when asian girls pop in contacts and wear their eyeliner and false lashes, or when any WOC tries to change their look to conform to white beauty standards, they are still made fun of????

I did it!! I finished it!! 'Pretty: A Book for the Girls Who Are Told They're Not' is a small body-positive art book that I've created about something I'm very passionate about: wanting every lady on this planet to feel beautiful. It's a colorful, 33-page paperback filled with my illustrations of all different types of women, as well as positive, inspirational quotes to make a combination that I hope will make at least someone feel as pretty as they really are! This is very much a passion project of mine, but I wasn’t sure how many copies to buy for myself because I was unsure of what the demand would be! Therefor, I’m holding a short pre-order event . That way I won’t over-buy (or under-buy!). The pre-order window will be open for one week (MARCH 2ND - MARCH 9TH @ 11:59PM). After that, I’ll order the copies, which take about a week or two to process. As soon as they get to me I’ll be sending them out to you, which shouldn’t take long at all! I would allow around 3 - 4 weeks for you to get your product after the final day of the pre-orders. I will also have a limited supply of the book at the following conventions: Tekko, Animazement, and Colossalcon! Thank you SO much for taking a look at my work! I’m so happy to finally get to share this with everyone! Any and all sharing would be super appreciated! :’)

white women need to know

that their beauty is forced down every woc’s throat. that’s why we can’t handle a movie claiming they suffer the most from oppressive beauty standards even if it was fictional, because in reality beauty standards are exclusively made with white women in mind and values you higher than the rest of us.

[These record labels] broken my heart. They said I could sing, I could write, but that I looked wrong. That was the lowest thing you could say. I didn’t forget.

Show this to Iggy Azalea since she’s convinced that looks have nothing to do with what makes a successful artist.

Fat people have the right to exist in fat bodies regardless of how we got fat, what being fat means, or if we could be thin through some means – however easy or difficult. There are no other valid opinions on this – we have the right to exist without shaming, bullying or stigmatization, period.

body positivity for autistic people.

body positivity for people who have, for their whole lives, been told that their brains are the only part of them anyone cares about.

another PSA for tumblr users

especially those who struggle with body image/EDs/etc.

blacklist “projectfab.” at least one of their recommended posts is an image and “fitspo.” obviously this can be triggering to those with body image issues.

please reblog this even if it doesn’t affect you personally!!!

Fuck hating your body. Let’s have 2015 be the year we promote self love. Love your pudgy tummy. Love your dimply butt. Love your thick thighs. Love your stretch marks, acne, and scars. Love every inch of that beautiful body. Love your hair and cellulite and weird curves and freckles. Lets start a fucking revolution.

Plus-Sized Woman Rocks Bikini on Hollywood Boulevard to Promote Body Acceptance

Los Angeles is known for many things: great weather, a laidback lifestyle, and Hollywood’s biggest stars. But for many who live in La La Land, the pressure to conform to a certain beauty standard can leave them feeling downright depressed.

Why didn’t this have any notes?

[l20music-deactivated20151007]

It doesnt have any notes because its a black woman doing it. Had it been a white woman this wouldve been national news.
