I have flat out refused to drink anything other than blood for three seasons of Interview With the Vampire. But Rolin Jones is adamant that the vampires drink regular drinks and eat regular food. And I've been like, this is so dumb, I don't understand why we do this.

I wanted to colour this piece but...it wasn't working out (still mad about it). Initially I thought perhaps the shading made it worst but I guess I just can't get rid of the annoying response of "why is he purple" LOL

maybe y'all didn't notice but fat people who don't hate ourselves sure did notice that people were obsessed with shitting on fat people in the late 90s and early 2000s (conservative political time) and now are again (fascist political time), coincidentally while the market for weight loss has become a 90 billion dollar industry due to glp1s.

you are not immune to propaganda. it makes some people a whole hell of a lot of money for you to hate fat people and fear becoming (or staying, I think like 70% or something of the US is fat) one of us.

[ijustwannafallunderyrsawteeth]

a lot of the fearmongering over fatness comes from studies directly funded by the weight loss industry...i think people don't really realize or think about the fact that research can absolutely be influenced and skewed by its funding. there is also research that shows that an amount of the negative health outcomes for fat people come from anti-fat bias. if you go to the doctor with concerns and the doctor simply tells you to lose weight, your problem is neglected and you may not even bother going to the doctor with the next problem.

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

there's so much crazy shit once you go down the rabbit hole. for example, BMI was not invented by anyone with a medical background. it was never meant to measure individual health.

Why thank god? 🥲 I thought you were happy with all the dm scenes

oh i'm super happy with what we've got. i just want to see it play out at a normal pace instead of squeezing 52 years of past history and whatever happened before/after the turning into three chopped up scenes that are all telling and no showing, with time jumps going from "fuck off" to "i'm seeing someone" and from "i want to be your maker" to "he's my companion". like i'm not asking for a 24 episode season with a christmas special or anything but to actually watch something on screen.

BAELOR BREAKSPEAR ⋆ A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS

Shoutout to my favorite genre of TOS episode:

[motherblackcap]

I actually really like the term genderqueer, because the only thing it specifies about your gender is that it's queer in some way. Does that mean you're nonbinary? Binary trans? Cis with some freaky cool gender presentation stuff going on? None of those or all of those? It doesn't matter and I think that's beautiful.

vegetarianism/veganism/pescatarianism

currently one of these (or something similar)

have been in the past, but not anymore

have never changed diet to specifically cut meat consumption

attempted but it was very brief/doesn't "count" to u for some reason or another?

consciously eating less meat but not cutting it out

some other nuanced answer

Remaining time: 17 hours 35 minutes

just out of curiosity bc i grew up around a lot of vegetarians but haven't met many as an adult. no judgement here :p

“My place was never in this world. I sought and longed for something I could not quite name. But in you, I found it. To be lost and to be found, that is the lifespan of love. And in its brevity, its tragedy, this has been made eternal. Better this way, to fade with your eyes gazing upon me.” - Frankenstein, 2025.
