it is never too late to retroactively slap some fat on a character

[kingstooth]

do you think im joking? do you think im a clown? do it right now. retroactively slap some fat on a character

[kingstooth]

okay people seem to be misunderstanding this a little bit- you SHOULD make gaining weight a sign of healing by all means but i don't mean "have your characters gain weight later"

i mean take one of your favs right now and make them fat and say they were actually fat the whole time in their story. because fat people can and do perform all the same feats skinny people do. fat people deserve to be perceived as the fuckable badass protagonist or the fun villain or the femme fatale or the tortured brooding hero

literally any character type you like - effeminate men? terrifying girlbosses? weaselly little nerds? himbos? - can also be fat. you assuming they MUST be skinny is a you problem and rooted in your perception of what the defaults are. the default isn't skinny white boy - you just think it is.

anyway if you've reblogged this you're obligated to take one of your favs and make them fat right now. don't change anything about their story just make them fat. they were fat the whole time, they were fat when they started the story and they were fat when they nearly died and they were fat when they got their love interest's attention and they were fat when they did incredible things. and they're fat when it ends.

vampire and werewolf bfs sharing a romantic dinner with candles and shit but it's some unfortunate guy who's getting drained of blood and having meat ripped off his bones simultaneously

[trupowieszcz-moved-deactivated2]

no see the vampire isn't drinking so fast for this to be a problem and also if the vampire goes for the neck and the werewolf goes for the thighs i think they're gonna be fine. we're having a completely normal conversation btw

men love being pinned up against walls by other men it makes them feel masculine it's the same as going fishing

The rose and clove that is your touch-- the thyme and thorn that is your gaze-- They sprout and blossom in my heart-- You make a garden out of me. . .

Nico and Mari and their never-ending pining for each other.

Also, interesting note on Lucy’s condition. Stoker is actually subverting what was a common trope in that time period. 

It was a common for characters in novels to fall ill, often from tuberculosis, which had similar symptoms as what Lucy is experiencing- paleness, loss of energy, difficulty breathing. A victorian reader would quickly recognise these symptoms, and the trope they are suggesting. 

But in this case, nope, it’s not that rascally consumption this time, Lucy’s got a case of the vampires, lads.

Gay people that you think resemble stereotypes are living, breathing human beings who are, generally, living in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to them. The fact is that a lot of stereotypes about gay people come out of the real behaviors and tendencies of real, living gay people- a lot of lesbians are in fact hairy feminists, a lot of gay men do in fact hold their wrists limply, a lot of gay and bisexual and transgender people are very visibly gender nonconforming in ways you maybe find embarrassing because it makes them stick out, but if you're embarrassed by these people that's really your own problem and your own cross to bear, not the responsibility of every single other LGBT person in the world to recognize and organize their lives around, potentially at the cost of being able to live a life that feels meaningful and healthy for them. Every single time you want to complain about a total queen you saw at pride or how everyone thinks lesbians are all manly, take a second to remember that those stereotypes come out of the lives of men and women who were physically assaulted in the streets and fired from their employment and who lost custody of their children and who were beaten for not owning and wearing enough items of properly gendered clothing and instead be grateful that some people, the queens you find embarrassing, chose to be out when they could have chosen to die in silence and would have spread themselves a lot of pain by doing so. I'm so fucking sick of watching gay people apologize for each other, and I am so so grateful for all the women who came before me who paved the way for me to be someone who owns literally no women's clothing and does not have to fear for my safety every time I leave the house and who can be open in public about the fact that I am partnered with a woman that I love.
