Can self-proclaimed progressive people stop using fat bodies as "necessary" collateral damage in the fight for equality?
I fucking see that shit when you call for defunding or abolishing police while portraying your idea of a disgusting police officer as a fat man stuffing his face with donuts while you call that man a pig.
I see that shit when you make political cartoons about corrupt CEOs and greedy politicians and purposefully choose to draw those characters fat.
I see it when you portray your stereotypical republican as a bigoted fat person
I see it when you make the bigoted villains in your movies fat while simultaneously not having a single other fat character in the film.
You claim to want equality? Then fucking act like it. Fat bodies should not be sacrificed so you can have a laugh or connect morality to our appearance for an easy metaphor. You care about literally everyone else who is marginalized. You would never even DREAM of vilifying the bodies of other oppressed groups. To be honest, your hypocrisy is worse than the massive hypocrisy from republicans.
Need a site that tells me the amount of screen time each actor has in a movie so when I become attached to a new actor and start desperately scouring their filmography, I do not waste my money or hours of my time only to find out they only have a three minute cameo or something or die before we're even midway through
beloved! hi, nice to see u around! how's ur day going?
– Nik aka valiantnerdtm 🤠
hi nik!! im fine, it’s three am and im not tired, im hungry though bc i might have not ate enough food today so im scrolling through tumblr and tiktok.
also i wrote this fic (that i forgot to advertise on here lols) and got a nice feedback from a few people so im glad.
how are you?
whenever i read a marauders with badly translated french/spanish/italian etc i don’t really care bc i know the author tried their best, and it gets the point across that such character can speak such language anyway, and it just doesn’t impact the story. whatever.
HOWEVER, if you’re gonna make a character use a pet name from a language you don’t speak, please look up a list of pet names from that language rather than translating a pet name directly from english. not only does it NOT work, it’s also sometimes very bizarre.
for exemple, there was this one fic where sirius wanted to say ‘babygirl’ in italian and the author translated it to ‘bambino’… which means child/little boy 😭
well i did something really fucking stupid
pro tip: if you're ever drawing your ocs in drag, you need to use the Queen metric to make sure you're getting it right. optimal success happens when two of your characters are obviously doing it for a joke, one is clearly in drag but still looks amazing, and one is indistinguishable from the average beautiful woman/man
this nostalgia in my bones — why can’t i forget it?
having online friends and touch as a love language is a struggle
Regulus: one time when i was in 1st grade i had a crush on a boy but i didn't know what to do about it so i wrote him a note threatening him to leave town
James: that was you???
