Small penises aren’t bad, balding isn’t bad, being short isn’t bad, being fat isn’t bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they’re bad) the better.

Imagine being JD Vance, who makes such a huge part of his personality being catholic. The pope himself takes time to lecture you on compassion then promptly DIES. The pope uses one of his last hours on earth to tell you that you suck at your religion on EASTER. And then DIES. Anyway RIP Pope Francis

Nate: Talk to me, Hardison, how're we looking?

Hardison: Sexy, but not like we're trying too hard. Like, sure, we're trying, but it's almost effortless.

You know what I was thinking of? I never see historical fashion for fat people like me. It's all skinny flappers and small waisted Victorians. Unless it's someone who was famous or a man, it seems no one cares to show what the average fat person wore in the past.

Most fat people just wore a sized up version of skinny people’s clothing. For most of history a silouette was really the important part more than arbitrary unpadded measurements. Anything you’ve heard otherwise is a…hmm what’s the word I’m looking for, a miss representation. What I mean is, most people wore literal padding to achieve a look, they didn’t manipulate their natural bodies like we do now, they added material to achieve the silouette. Nothing about this directly excludes fat bodies. For most of history fat clothes was just like I said, skinny clothes sized up and capable of holding the same padding. 

I hear about the 30 inch waist ideal for some time periods but that’s the thing, it’s the ideal, not a reality. Most existent surving dresses are “smaller” because fat people wore their clothes out, repurposed them into new fashions and decades, like most people did. Our survivors bias is weird like that. I was thinking about sharing some videos from some historical YouTube’s and this is a good a reason as any. 

[changelingfangs]

The funny thing is that the “small waisted Victorian” was actually a COMPARATIVE thing. The victorian (and Edwardian) ideal is a waist that’s 15-10 inches smaller than the bust.

If you look closely at a lot of Victorian imagery (esp the adult China dolls) you’ll find a LOT of double chins – at least for women. The ideal woman was (and this is sexist as hell but) a successful mother and a successful mother was rounded and plump from multiple pregnancies.

Anyway, a really cool image I have is an ad from the Victorian era that really shows how ideals have changed;

As far as the clothing goes: a LOT of what we have left are the garments of young, rich women (like, premarriage age) and garments from special occasions – so debuts, weddings, special parties – because, like how a lot of women now will put aside their wedding dress, a well off young woman may have a dress made for a special occasion and never wear it again whereas most daily wear (much like with fat folks now) was worn until it fell apart.

Anyway, here are also some images of fat Victorians (sadly mostly women, I couldn’t find like any men that weren’t like, freak show photos which are kinda demeaning so not included)

I included the image with the group of women because look at that body type variety!

Also, Enchanted Rose Costumes on YouTube is a LOVELY plus size historical costuber and I highly recommend her!

Lovely addition!

“My time has come” I whisper as I open my image folder. Sadly none as cool as the lady balancing the teacups on her chest.

I wish I could remember which turn-of-the-century famous woman that I’ve read described as “at the pinnacle of beauty and health” at two hundred pounds. I thought it was the swimmer Annette Kellerman, but I can’t find the source for the quote.

Gonna add some family photos of my sturdy German ancestors.

My great-great aunt Susan Kaufman Hentzleman, age 20

Cousin Mary Jane Evans, around 16 or so. Love that hair.

The seven Kaufman sisters. From left to right: Back Row: Belle Good, Theresa Anseis, Kate Kaufman, Susan Hentzleman Front Row: Alice Schwenk, Priscilla Henry, Celara Lewis Susan (this is the same Susan pictured above) is only 11 here- she’s the one on the far right in the frilly white collar. My great-great grandmother Celara Lewis is sitting immediately in front of her.

Despite being corseted, they’re all average, “realistic” sizes. No 18in waists here. All of them were pretty short too, around 5′ to 5′3″. (I come from a long line of Hobbits). I hazard to say they even look pretty comfortable. Nobody looks ready to burst her corset strings, though they might be a little tired of sitting still after six minutes.

I see his robot as an absolute win

[charlesoberonn]

The myth of Achilles, but instead of holding him by the heel, Thetis sumberges him fully so that Achilles is completely invulnerable and Thetis has one invulnerable hand.

[charlesoberonn]

She only needs one oven mitt when taking cookies out of the oven.

[aphony-cree]

But there would still be two small parts of him that are vulnerable because they were covered by her fingertips at the time, stopping the water from touching them. Which means those fingertips are also vulnerable on her hand 

Achilles *putting those little round band-aids on two parts of his ankle before battle*

Thetis *knitting fingertip oven mitts for her thumb and forefinger*

This is a Greek comedy I could get behind 

[obaewankenope]

What if she put him in a sack and dunked him in? The water would saturate the sack and soak him and so long as she pulled him out quick, he wouldn't drown. Then they'd have a sack that's invulnerable too and can be used as the most unexpected shield ever.

Imagine Achilles storming Troy with one (1) invulnerable sack for a shield

[adspexi]

thetis just sticks him in one of these bad boys

and swirls him around like a batch of chicken nuggets until he’s invulnerable all over.
