So would Lardo's weight fluctuate throughout college? I always envisioned her as someone who grew up a little chubby and gained weight throughout college.
OH MAN FOR SURE.
SO. Our favourite fat babe Lardo.
Her family was definitely the home-cooked meal kind of family, no junk food in the house, etc. Probably strict in other aspects too
Didn’t stop her from being chubby growing up. Sometimes you just are. Also she’s short, there isn’t many places for the fat to go
Anyway once she got to SW, you can imagine that: (meal plan + excessive drinking) - lack of parental guidance = weight gain
and my girl. my girl is a stress eater. because listen -- her sleep schedule got fucked. artists will stay up all night in their studio space to finish something for a deadline, she was manager of a hockey team her FIRST year and, i’m pretty sure canonically, goes to a lot of their practices and ALL of their games. you don’t eat well on the road, you don’t eat well when you don’t have the time. she was stressed out, anyway. stress and lack of sleep affects everyone differently -- for some, they lose weight. not for larissa “danger” duan. she DEFINITELY gained the freshman fifteen.
(more like freshman 20, let’s be real. someone who plays that much beerpong? yeah)
yeah danger is her middle name, WHAT OF IT
i’d say when she probably lost a little when she went to kenya? less processed foods, the heat made her like sweat it all out idk. i dont know where she was living so i assume there was public transit but ?? who knows. if she lived in the city there was probably more walking around than in samwell where everything is slightly far, right
but she came back to SW and there were PIES. EVERYWHERE. Bitty probably baked her like 10 welcome pies. just so she could figure out her favourite.
and booze. she probably got iced like once a day for a month. you KNOW holster is all about icing people. he probably keeps a case of 12 smirnoffs just on standby for such occasions. and he probably made her play pong against everyone again just so they could make sure she was still the best
and weed. she’s around shitty again ?? the munchies. imagine the munchies
ANYWAY. so by the end of her fourth year she’s gained a lot of weight. like, 30-ish pounds difference from her first year. obvs she struggles with it, being around all these fit hot people all the time
but they still love her and shitty loves her (you can replace shitty’s name with camilla’s if you want, i’m just in a shardo mood today) and she’s realized she’s very talented at art and good at what she does and has her shit together and has a future so she decides it doesn’t matter if she’s fat. her body/she can still do amazing things.
she’s learning to deal with stress in a better way than “bottling it up, acting chill then eating/drinking her feelings” but it’s a process. it’ll take a while.
she has a good life.
thank u anon
