Tw: underweight stuff. Probably got into vent territory on accident.
So quick fact about me, im underweight and prolly losing more as we speak. (Yes, very much taking advice on how to gain. Ive been struggling to do so due to metabolism and other factors). And I wanted to kind of... point something out.
It pains me to see my bodytype glorified. Its so often it feels, my own family does it constantly. I see in media constantly, and when its not glorified, its being treated as some kind of flaw in one's appearance. A flaw in character design, stuff like that. I wish my bodytype wasnt represented this way.
Is that mean of me to think? Probably.
I have nothing against overweight people, i frequently draw them like Id draw anyone else. But even to myself, its hard to convince myself to draw an underweight character. Its hard to get myself to draw a character that looks like me. Its really strange.
Id like to see a character in a game or show that intentionally has a bodytype like me. Especially in my main fandom, utmv, where most characters are average to overweight. Horror especially, I feel like I could be able to empathize with any body dysmorphia he might have from literally being starved for so long. I need to get into the habit of drawing him like me.
