Lovely little commission requested by @greyheadedjaco for @blackdalek !! <3 Thank you so much!

[fatphobiabusters]

i've been following you guys for a while now and i think you all share so many important things, often things i didn't know before and i always read them. But today I just wanted to thank all the mods for all the pics you guys share, i don't get many pics of fat people on my dash and i can count that i will see at least a few every week and that's a big deal for me. ty!

Thank you for the kind words! We have quite a lot of asks we've been too busy to answer at the moment, so I'm glad you enjoy the art, photos, and resources we share in the meantime. Mod Squirrel and I often queue unknown artists and blogs, so it makes me happy seeing so many people who follow this blog give a tsunami of support and encouragement to the people whose work we share. You guys liking and especially reblogging and commenting on posts we reblog is extremely helpful because it encourages those creators to keep including fat people in their work. Everyone who interacts with our posts has been a huge help in this battle to get the experiences of fat people seen and heard. Thanks for your help!

Crazy Little Things - 9, 4, 13. And you can answer public so everyones know more about the best hp fic ever <3 (i just hope tumblr dont eat this ask)

Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

I’m not sure what this means… like a different ending? I can’t think of any ideas for this fic that I never incorporated into it. 

What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

Probably this: 

“The stars don’t listen to us anymore. They’ve become dreadfully exhausted from dealing with our petty demands.”

Because, to me anyway, it’s so very Luna. It sounds wise and mysteriously vague and is her interpretation of the quite common phrase when you wish upon a star. Luna sees extraordinary things in the normal every day that other people miss. Plus I just liked how it sounded. lol. 

What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think 

Oh boy… it was so long ago. I honestly have no idea. I tend to listen to really happy upbeat music when I’m writing. A lot of my fics are fairly fluffy and light hearted with minimal angst and a bit of comedy so it puts me in the right mood. It might have been a lot of 80′s music. 

Maybe Keane? I think Perfect Symmetry came out around that time and I played it a lot when it first came out. Spiralling was a favorite of mine. 

Thanks so much for saying this is the best HP fic! I had a lot of fun writing it. Luna is a favorite of mine.

Halloween related prompts. Supercat. Kara have never gone treak or treating (cause of sensory overload, by the time she could handle her powers she was "too old") and when Carter finds out he invites her to go with them. Kara and Carter are having a blast and Cat thinks they are super cute. Pre-relationship or establish relationship, your pick.

Kara should have known the moment Carter approached her desk, smiled sweetly, and invited her trick-or-treating that she was going to embarrass herself. But no, her lack of forethought and genuine like for Carter led her to make the worst possible decision: saying yes and agreeing to dress up with him. This was his last Halloween where he got to gather free candy, after all, and she would be honored to go with him.

She hadn’t figured out that Cat would come with, too, until much later, when she was sprawled on her couch, half a slice of pizza jammed in her mouth, and the television blaring old reruns of Buffy. She’d practically choked, but she knew she couldn’t back out. That was why she was standing outside the Grant family brownstone in a ridiculous cowboy costume. It was the only non-sexualized costume left at the Halloween superstore by the time she’d gone looking, and she felt more than a little ridiculous with the fake stetson set at an angle on her head.

She felt even more silly when Cat followed Carter down the steps in a tightly fitting Wonder Woman costume. Kara couldn’t stop her eyes from drifting down to the cut in her top, which showed off a delicate flash of cleavage. The costume was definitely sexy, but Cat had somehow also managed to keep it classy. To relieve the sudden burst of heat in her belly, Kara dragged her eyes to Carter, who wore a dinosaur costume that was certainly not a realistic rendition of a T-Rex.

“Kara!” He collided with her middle and squeezed her in a hug. “I mean, howdy pardner!”

She touched the brim of her hat and tilted her head. “Rawr?”

“Dinosaurs probably made more of a skraw’ing noise, I think. I read this article about how they were probably feathered, and birds are close to them. So it would make sense if they made bird-like noises, except I don’t know if they had beaks or not.”

Cat made a show of checking her watch. “Come on, you two. National City does have a Halloween curfew.”

“Trick-or-treating ends at ten p.m.,” Kara recited, ever trying to please Cat to the best of her ability.

“Exactly.”

Carter took off toward the next house with a front light on, leaving Kara to walk more slowly with Cat. She couldn’t form a full thought at the moment, so she kept her lips pressed tightly together. She was already embarrassed by her costume and the situation, and she didn’t need to garner further shame by saying something stupid–like admitting how badly she had it for the older woman.

“Loosen up,” Cat murmured.

Kara nodded stiffly. She lied, “I just haven’t ever done this before, so it’s a little weird. I’ll get used to it, I’m sure.”

“Well, go on, then. I’m sure Carter wants you to say those magic Halloween words with him when he knocks.” Cat pushed her gently toward the door, where Carter awaited her.

This trend continued through the evening: Carter choosing targets, Kara following faithfully behind, and Cat looking fabulous while she waited. By eight-thirty, Carter needed to use the restroom, so they detoured back home, and Kara found herself sitting awkwardly in the living room of Cat’s house and trying not to look at Cat’s bare skin. Cat watched her with keen interest.

“Are you having fun?”

Kara fiddled with the edge of her chaps. “Yes.”

“Yet you’re still anxious about something.”

“Oh? Am I?”

Cat sidled closer. At this distance, Kara couldn’t help but look. She also couldn’t help but wonder how Cat would look with even less on. Like maybe nothing on at all. Wonderful, probably.

“I said, are you just going to look, or are you planning on touching?”

“What?” Kara’s eyebrows shot up as she realized Cat had been talking and she hadn’t been listening. And then to have that question? She fumbled for a response.

“My lasso of truth. It’s a little crooked.”

Kara reached out to Cat’s hip and adjusted the rope. “Better?”

“Keep your hands on it, so I know you’re telling the truth.”

“It’s just a costume–”

“Obey the spirit of the lasso.”

Kara found herself agreeing, even as her nerves told her not to. “Okay.”

“Are you having a good time?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you acting like someone placed broken glass in my sofa?”

“I’m afraid I’ll embarrass myself.”

Cat moved directly in front of her. “You’re not afraid of doing that at the office. Why now?”

“Because…” Kara sighed, not seeing a good way out of this situation. She hoped Carter would return soon, but his prolonged absence now seemed planned. “Because you’re very attractive.”

Cat slipped onto her lap and kissed her, and Kara was suddenly grateful for the few handfuls of chocolate she’d eaten along the way this evening. If she’d known this was going to happen, she would have brushed her teeth before coming over–or popped a mint or something. Instead, she probably tasted like sweets when Cat’s tongue eased between her lips. She gripped Cat’s hips gently, and her eyes fluttered shut.

The sound of approaching footsteps made Cat ease back. She nabbed Kara’s stetson and placed it on her head. It was likely the cheapest thing Cat had worn in years, and Kara flushed bright red at the way Cat wore it like a trophy. At least her blush wasn’t from embarrassment, she realized, which made this evening a success.

how did you get into football? and why liverpool? (honestly curious about it)

Oh, I was born into it. My dad’s family are from Birkenhead, and I grew up in front of Motherwell FC’s ground as my local team on top of that. But yeah, I went to games from about the age of 3, and was Motherwell’s first ever female mascot. Ta da!

Liverpool though are my constant - talking to family, not talking to them. Close to home or a thousand miles away, they’re a lingua franca in the world, especially with the jobs I’ve done and the places I’ve been.

MAH BOYS.

Shipping Asks 1. What was your first OTP? 3. Do you have any OT3/OT+ ships? What are your favorites? 14. Has a fanbase ever made you ship or not ship something? Why? 22. Do you have any ships that you ship, but would never want to see as canon?

1. What was your first OTP? the first OTP I had in actual fandom was rizzles (Jane x Maura, Rizzoli & Isles). Before that I don’t really remember… I never really invested in fictional romantic relationships … except maybe during highschool when I was pretty into Edward and Bella in twilight… but let’s not think about that XD 

3. Do you have any OT3/OT+ ships? I know i have but tbh now i don’t remember what they are… I think Steve/Peggy/Angie would be one if they all existed together in the same timeline for Agent Carter. I’ve read OT3 fic for dragon swan queen, but that was mostly in service of my swan queen obsession so maybe that doesn’t count. 

14. Has a fanbase ever made you ship or not ship something? Why? There have been many many fanbases that made me ship things. because that’s how I learned to start reading queer subtext and stuff. Like, rizzles I never would have shipped if I hadn’t seen it in the fandom (mostly because i was super closeted and heteronormative back then…) 

As for not shipping things…I guess they didn’t really make me stop shipping it, but I did stop participating in supergirl fandom at all for a long time because the supercorp fandom was so obnoxious…  Also when Sanvers got popular I stopped shipping it because that fandom was super disrespectful to the alex ship fandoms that had existed before Maggie was introduced and that really turned me off of it. so basically the season 2-3 supergirl femslash fandom in general just ruined the whole thing for me. 

22. Do you have any ships that you ship, but would never want to see as canon? hmmm yeah probably. I mean General Danvers is never going to be canon and i have no desire for it to be. I’m also pretty ambivalent about whether or not Villaneve becomes “canon” but i think different people have different definitions of what them being canon would look like. from my perspective, they are already canon as much as I care for them to ever be. i don’t really want them to go riding off into the sunset happily ever after suddenly having a completely normal relationship. that would be weird. idk what other ships I even care about atm because i’ve mostly just been thinking about swan queen lately…

[EDIT] I just remembered LMAO probably unpopular opinion, but I don’t actually want Madam Spellman to happen in canon because I just don’t think it would work. I just love fanfiction’s exploration of the two characters and how they might interact. 

Thanks for the questions! I feel like this was hard because i’ve been in such a swan queen only mood recently i literally couldn’t remember what other ships I like LOL. also i’m tired right now.
