Unexpected hot weather in May inviting thoughts of sweaty Johnny groaning out half-hearted excuses about his “winter weight” making the heat unbearable as he pulls you in for a bear hug to recharge after spring cleaning in the yard.

sometimes i'm like "eh, my adhd isn't that bad" and then i remember in the first year after moving out i lost ridiculous amounts of weight because i just straight up kept forgetting to feed myself

Okay but I think… Ford was pretty fit pre-mental breakdown.

I don’t think he had much of a gut, and was pretty slim. Obviously, he put on a bit of weight during college, but who doesn’t?

(I also think his body in the college pic from TBoB may have just been an oversight since it had been years since they’d written the show/Journal 3 and added those details, and he was still relatively slim here at the end of college in the show)

But when he was in Gravity Falls, he was constantly hiking around, chasing various anomalies

He even states in Journal 3 that he had a rigorous daily physical (and mental) workout, despite having hated physical activity when he was younger.

It sounds like he ends up approaching exercise with the same rigor he does his studies, namely because it is a means to further his research. He can’t do half of what he does if he isn’t in peak physical shape to keep up with the anomalies and go on field research trips. Based on his words there, I think it’s safe to assume.

And he says that a few months before the falling out with Bill.

So when his life falls apart, he stops exercising and starts eating junk (as one does).

And he puts on some weight, which leads to his body in this picture

He also had no control over whatever Bill was shoveling into his mouth when he possessed him, and Bill would ignore body cues that told him he was overeating. He was just tossing shit down Ford’s throat with no care for how it would affect him when he woke up (and actually hoping it would be something that hurt him)

So he probably contributed a LOT, in ways other than just by totally betraying Ford, taking advantage of him, and causing a catastrophic meltdown

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Joking about BMI under the cut

BMI is a great* measure of obesity. For example, if you're a 5'5" man who weighs 214lb, your BMI is 35.6: obese, because that's 30 and up.

Now if you want to get it down to merely overweight, you need to get down to 179lb, meaning you have to lose 35 lbs. Safely losing 35lb should be done at 1-2lb a week, so you're looking at 122 days.

But you can get a limb lengthing surgery, and go from 5'5" to 5'11" in merely ninety days, without losing a single pound! Now that you're taller, your BMI (5'11" @ 214lb) is 29.8, merely overweight.

Clearly all these weightloss diets and exercises and everything is misplaced. We don't need to get thinner, we just need to get taller.

There’s a specific version of ghost in my mind that absolutely has unaddressed body dysmorphia.

I think that under supervision he eats what he’s given and it’s enough structured nutrition to make him just barely skirt the line of feeling almost like a person—but at home in his empty flat it’s easy to fall out of routine. I think he fluctuates wildly to both ends and it’s just another tally on the ‘lack of sense of self’ scale that he’s not particularly trying to improve himself on.

I think one of Astarion’s ways of showing that he cares is making sure Tav is fully fed at all times.

Before he’s willing to admit his feeling for them, he tells himself that if they’re well fed that’s more blood they can feed him or they can’t protect him if they’re starving.

At meals he’ll push past everyone to make sure Tav gets plenty of food before anyone else.

He’ll sneak extra snacks into their pack.

He pays attention to what they like and makes sure to take it from the camp supplies and hides it in his tent. He also makes sure to look for it while they’re out exploring as well.

Living things need proper nutrients, so he always makes sure Tav gets the fruits and vegetables they find over anyone else.

If there’s a meat they particularly like he’ll be sure to hunt it and bring the bloodless corpse back to camp.

He’s the first to notice if they loose any weight or to spot any signs of hunger. He hates how it makes his gut twist with worry.

The threat of starvation always feels just around the corner, he needs to make sure they eat as much as they can while they still can.

And if this causes them to gain weight all the better! He loves the physical reminder they’re well fed and how they feel softer and warmer in his arms.

He never wants Tav to feel hunger like he has.

This is something that doesn’t change if he ascends. His Consort will always have to best blood and wine available, they’ll never feel the pains of vampiric hunger. What would be the point of all that power if he couldn’t even satisfy his favorite’s needs even if he has to force feed them.

doing a note game because it worked out for my pal in the end

If this gets 700 notes I’ll finish my jedams fanfic and post it

If this gets 850 notes I’ll start posting fanfiction in general

If this gets 1k notes I’ll start showering at least once a week

If this gets 1.5k notes I’ll start changing clothes everyday and will sleep in pyjamas

If this gets 2k notes I’ll try to talk about my obsessive thoughts with my parents

If this gets 5k notes I’ll start eating things that aren’t just my safest safe foods and start counting calories to gain weight

Might tag some people later

Pink means it’s in progress/accomplished
