Tw! Body image issues

I’ve had this dilemma for a long time and I’m sick of it, I may not make much sense and I’m sorry but this has me so upset and emotional so please forgive me if I’m not coherent at times thought this 🧡

I’ve been into kpop for a long long time, since around 2009/10 and i love it, i really do, some bands have literally saved my life several times, and it’s (usually) a great community. I’ve met some of my best friends due to kpop

But kpop as a performance based music genre really messes up my body image and confidence. it’s a love-hate relationship, i’ll see a mv and appreciate the aesthetics, choreography, song, etc. And then i see the idols themselves and obsessively think about stuff like how they’re so small and lean/muscular, and how defined their faces are and compare it to me and I’m not thin at all, it’s especially bad when I hear idols call themseleves or other members chubby or tell them they’ve gained weight and get so upset over it when they’re literally underweight, it just makes me think of how they’d view me, they’d think I’m disgusting and it makes me wanna cry sometimes

And realistically I know that’s not a bad thing, my bone structure is very broad, I don’t have a bad diet, And I’m taller than almost all female kpop idols and a good chunk of the male idols too. European women are obviously taller than Asian women that’s just a biological fact. But when I’m faced with blatant shaming for being plus sized 24/7, I can’t look clearly at anything.

But I just fall into this pit of self loathing and being unable to look at my own body until I stop being so invested in the fandom. then go back to where I began, it’s just a vicious circle of nothing then self hatred and I was just wondering if I’m the only plus sized person to feel like this? Because I obviously don’t wanna stop listening and supporting my favourite artists but it’s starting to become harmful and I can’t stop myself from falling deeper and deeper into it.

[xseaxwitchx]

Oh honey I know this exact feeling and struggle with it, too. I'm also pretty damn tall (1.84 cm or between 6 foot and 6'1") and plus size, so that's also a radically different feeling to when someone is shorter and plus size, but anyway.

It's definitely hard because besides the amount of money I'd have to spend to get into a fansign event, I'm too terrified to face my faves bc ik they'll think I'm ugly even tho they preach "looks don't matter" all the time. Like I'll appreciate them from afar, but I can't handle them faking nice and then thinking or talking about how "big" I am or how unattractive my face is. This is honestly one of the reasons I tend to stay away from girl groups because I know how negatively they would affect me as a woman.

One of the hardest things to do is not comparing yourself to others and this includes kpop idols. I occasionally have to take breaks, too, or I start falling into a pit of despair and trigger like a month-long deep depressive episode. There's no shame in simply listening to their music instead of constantly streaming music videos or watching their content, especially if it's negatively impacting your life.

I'm not sure how old this post is, but OP, I certainly hope you're in a better place rn and are taking the steps to start a journey of self acceptance!

Honestly I never understood the feeling of unbridled, nearly shaking rage of wanting to kill someone so bad until I had a perfect come into my job and now I completely understand and I really wish I didn't

Native English speakers are the world’s worst communicators

In a room full of non-native speakers, ‘there isn’t any chance of understanding’. It might be their language, but the message is often lost

“A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world’s global language. They feel they don’t have to spend time learning another language,” says Chong.

“But… often you have a boardroom full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understanding each other and then suddenly the American or Brit walks into the room and nobody can understand them.”

The non-native speakers, it turns out, speak more purposefully and carefully, typical of someone speaking a second or third language. Anglophones, on the other hand, often talk too fast for others to follow, and use jokes, slang and references specific to their own culture, says Chong. In emails, they use baffling abbreviations such as ‘OOO’, instead of simply saying that they will be out of the office.

“The native English speaker… is the only one who might not feel the need to accommodate or adapt to the others,” she adds.

[xseaxwitchx]

This is why many native English speakers get passed at those whose first language is not English -- because English speakers are hella ignorant and probably don't even know what they are trying to convey.

If you can't explain something in the simplest possible way to a 5 year old, you don't understand your own message. Not to say non-Enflish speakers are children that's far from my point here but you know what I mean.

Idk why but I feel this is v important to share:

One of my coworkers who's much older than I am has his wife pick him after work and it's the cutest fucking thing ever bc he's such a sweetheart

I feel I should also mention they're Hispanic which makes it cuter bc I know how badly toxic masculinity has a hold on most of those communities

So, India is dying.

Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.

If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.

A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.

There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.

There is no plan.

Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.

Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.

We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.

This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.

We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.

People are dying.

People are dying.

People are dying and there is no plan.

More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.

My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.

Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.

But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.

She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.

So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.

If you can, donate.

Or spread the word.

Help. Please.

my assumption is that obi-wan's AOTC-era beard and mullet grew out of obi-wan in the process of grieving completely failing to preen his own appearance, and then he ends up liking the mullet and keeps it for ten years. that would mean that anakin is most familiar with mullet obi-wan, and that he probably thought obi-wan's shorter hair looked super weird, and his dominant mental image of obi-wan is obi-wan with a mullet. which is really very funny on its own but have we considered that anakin's padawan years were pockmarked by obi-wan doing weird shit with his hair the way highschoolers do, it was just delayed by the required padawan cut. frosted tips obi-wan is a really funny mental image to have and i'm a little obsessed with it.

Great Granny named me “Jonathan” after the boy she never had. Clothed me. Fed me. Raised me. And when she deemed it appropriate…punished me.

Domestic Jonathan Crane Headcanons Vol. 1

Loves to garden. He has a nicely sized plot at his farmhouse hideout, and while he doesn’t do any actual farming. he does keep track of tomato plants and whatever herbs are in season

Detests the Vacuum. Actually sweeps and doesn’t have any carpeted areas in his home, so thankfully there’s no need for it.

Loves doing the dishes. He finds the sensation of the warm water calming. Will happy do the dishes if someone else cooks for him.

Not the most wealthy, but he does use his limited money wisely. He always donates a small percentage to those in need–as he was once on the streets and understands how a little bit can go a long way.

Wants children someday, but would prefer to adopt overseas or adopt a child about to grow out of the system.

Mostly single by choice, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t looking. It just takes time for him to find the right person, someone he knows he can trust.

Really likes children, he admires their wonder and curiosity. Activity tries to avoid harming them, unless it’s the water supply he’s targeting, of course.

Loves visiting the library and MIGHT have a crush on the middle aged librarian. Tries to flirt with them, but usually fails miserably.  Still, the librarian finds him charming.

Loves all birds, but especially corvids. Regularly feeds them and always treats them with respect. As such his farmhouse hideout is frequently visited by the birds.

Speaking of birds, he has a deal with Damian Wayne that states nether of them shall attack if they see each other feeding a bird.

Drinks his coffee black, but will occasionally spurge on a pumpkin spice latte. Never goes to Starbucks though, only a local cafes.

During the fall he has been known to steal jack o lanterns off porches.

Once egged Wayne Tower from a biplane

Loves thrift stores and flea markets. Will buy random crap he doesn’t need.  Once bought one of those infamous stripper leg lamps because it was a dollar. (he gave it to Harley for her birthday)

Spends his free time resting in a vintage recliner while reading old stories. Love science fiction and mystery.
