I Love Phandom And Phanfiction Because Y’all Put Greater Emphasis On The Ghostliness Than The Original

Are you in the mood to perhaps compile fics with that specific dadzawa & dadmic situation? ♡

:O!! YES ALWAYS??? OMG OKAY

For anyone who hasn’t seen it this ask is in reference to this comic I made about one of my favorite types of bnha fanfic: Aizawa and Yamada having already adopted Shinsou and Eri, realize Bakugou might also need some help.

It’s not entirely clear in my comic lmao but I feel like if you know, you know. Anyway here are some of my favorites!

note: because of the subject matter, most if not all of these contain themes of physical/emotional abuse and neglect. Check the tags for details

pump the break by stolenbythewestwind

this one is first because this fic. oh this fic eviscerates me. I really like Shinsou's characterization here, and the attention given to how he adjusts to Bakugou's presence. Also it can be so hard to write Mitsuki in a way that feels real in a situation like this, I swear to god this fic this fic is the blueprint. If I ever shut up about pump the break I am dead and gone from this earth.

this family of ours by ghostoutofhisgrave

A one-shot from Mic's pov about how they got all their kids. This one also includes Todoroki and is so fucking sweet. I love how Eri is so happy to have new brothers and they immediately roll with it.

It's Called: Freefall by poddunkk

This one is like good parenting slowburn because Bakugou doesn't move in until deep into the fic but god I love this one. The way Bakugou and Shinsou go from awkward, annoyed, mutuals to brothers is fantastic. There's mention of Eri being introduced soon!

Okay moving away from my comic just a bit! Here some of my favs where their family is generally already established, but still feature Bakugou, Shinsou, and dadzawa/dadmic:

Our House, Our Lives. (Part four of Homemade Families) by Heroesloverofbooks

This is a short series of fics! Including Todoroki, but no Eri in these ones. I picked part four because this one is my favorite; I like the silly sibling banter and Bakugou's dramatic ass.

Silent Treatement (Part two of Learning to Juggle) by SmartiMart

Another fantastic series, it's different from most other I've read because this time it's Shinsou, Bakugou, and Midoriya in the house (No Eri). The situations that get Bakugou and Midoriya into the erasermic fam are also unique, it's not usually what I go for with them, but the characterization has me by the throat.

Special Note: I HIGHLY suggested reading part two first. The plot of Silent Treatement is Bakugou and Midoriya have a fight and no one else can figure out why. I won't spoil it, but there's this scene where Bakugou admits something and Aizawa has this oh shit moment that hits so much harder without the context from part one.

now by theghoulinyourattic

A one-shot that's on the shorter end but I adore the characterization here. He would fucking do that omfg.

Lavender Tears (Series) by dreamsoflovingness

Another series, fourteen parts and complete! Once more featuring Todoroki but not Eri. I love this one so much I can't pick a favorite. My favorite part of this series is seeing the boy's relationships develop over the course of it. Especially how the author writes Bakugou suddenly being someone's brother.

a mix of six (Series) by Argentina

I'm obsessed with this authors mind. Y'all not only is this series twenty-seven parts, it includes Todoroki and Eri! I love the episodic style of these and OUGH there is just something about these kids developing the instinct to protect one another that gets me. There's one where Eri puts glitter in their hair and the next day at school the three of them are bragging about how cool their little sister is and I fucking can't. I love it.

Bonus Round: Some fics that don't technically fit the prompt but I hold so dear to my heart.

baby steps. by nitroglycerin_and_paraffin

Included because it involves Aizawa getting Bakugou out of his house. I fucking love this one. The way the author slowly gives you more information about why Aizawa acts the way he does and the way he finds out about little tidbits of Class-A's relationship dynamics I'm soooo normal about it. Also I LOVE the back-and-forth dialogue I'm eating that shit up.

Best Jeanist Acquires A Son (Series) by Sif

OH THESE ONES. Bakugou gets out of his house but it's Jeanist that takes him in! I love how the author developed Bakugou and Jeanist and don't even get me started on the quirk meta they did for Bakugou it's the coolest shit ever.

That's my list, thank you so much for the ask :)

Hey I'm new to the Danny Phantom fandom and I need some good fics. Got any good recommends?

First off, welcome to the fandom! And hon, I /got/ you. 

Flu Shot: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20513513/chapters/48684473 (Sorry it’s not letting me put in links properly?? Anyway.) Unashamed self-advertisement, basically Danny finds out there is a more civilized part of the ghost zone and things go crazy from there. 

How to Summon Eldritch Entities with Strawberry Jam by In_The_Ghost_Mode: https://archiveofourown.org/works/14146716 Summary; Listen, Danny didn’t ask for a summoning circle, alright? And if he’s going to get called at any time and place, he might as well wear whatever he wants, including arriving in his human form in his favorite PJs. Got it? Good. 

Beyond Beasts by CatalystOfTheSoul: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8388307/chapters/19217140 Summary: Danny’s abilities are getting less reliable by the minute, Tucker can barely keep up with damage control, and it doesn’t help that Dash decided to tag along. There’s something fishy about this vacation, and it’s not the lake. The forest is playing tricks, water is appearing in places it shouldn’t, and there’s a vacancy expected at Algernon’s Summer Camp for Boys. (Dear reader, this is by-all-means intended as a ghost story for ghosts. Proceed with caution.) How You've 

Changed by: thatgirl_youknowtheone: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11440641 Summary: Danny wasn’t a ghost, at least, not a ghost pretending to be their child. He was… he was still their child. He was just, wrong. 

Shots Fired by RedHeadsRock1010: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16015694 Summary: School shooter meet Danny Fenton. Vlad Masters does not get paid enough to deal with this. (On a personal note this obviously has a school shooting but it has gallows humor so it’s not, straight-up traumatic but heads up and proceed with caution) 

It’s Like Time Stops by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1569932 Summary: Danny though, Danny was as average as anybody. He was nice (if a bit snarky), clever (if a bit naive), and once puberty stopped stretching him like a rubber band he might even be handsome one day. But then, not even halfway through his first semester at Casper High, Danny Fenton changed. 

Silvertongue by proximally: https://archiveofourown.org/works/4044955 Summary: According to his friends and family, Danny is a terrible liar. Truth is, he’s lying about that. 

Bloodsucker by: S.N. Rainsworth: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7225350/1/Bloodsucker Summary: A few misconceptions causes the student population of Casper High to take a guess at the mystery that is Danny Fenton. 

Phantom of Truth by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7476808/1/Phantom-of-Truth Summary: Locked away in a secret government lab with Phantom as her subject, nothing stands between Maddie and the truth… except, perhaps, herself. (Personal note, this is a phandom favorite, and while I should have had read it, I, in fact, did not) 

Shadow of a Doubt by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9683169/1/Shadow-of-a-Doubt Summary: The truth was supposed to save Danny. Fix things. The lab, the experiments, the lies, those were all in the past. Weren’t they? Sequel to Phantom of Truth. 

What Little Girls Are Made Of by: HaiJu: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11592126/1/What-Little-Girls-Are-Made-Of Summary: Phantom and his younger double save Amity Park from a monstrous ghost, nearly destroying themselves in the process. The Fentons have always hunted ghosts; now it’s time to save one. 

Green Jacket, Red Sleeves by: LunarMothim: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9117967/1/Green-Jacket-Red-Sleeves Summary: Two secrets: Danny’s mysterious injury and Phantom’s bizarre ectosignature. In her quest to find the answers to both, Maddie finds out more than she could ever have anticipated. Revelation fic, no PP 

Running Blind by: Dejah Thoris of Mars: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3049214/1/Running-Blind Summary: Crossover with CSI. Something supernatural is killing people in Las Vegas… and it all seems to lead back to a fifteenyearold runaway named Danny Fenton. 

A Different Sort of House Call by: Hornswaggler: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6481092/2/A-Different-Sort-of-House-Call Summary: House’s new case is a little tougher to diagnose, primarily because the patient should be, quite literally, already dead. A continuation of AnneriaWings’ Lab Rat 

Everything Was White by: lexosaurus: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16467191/chapters/38565494 Summary: After being accidentally revealed to the public and taken away by the government, Danny deals with the aftermath of his time with the GiW. 

You Should Be Dead by: SaphireDragon11: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9375525/1/You-Should-Be-Dead Summary: Dash and Kwan are horrified to discover they’ve accidentally killed their classmate, but perhaps even more so when he shows up at school the next day. With his secret on the line, Danny soon discovers Dash and Kwan are the least of his worries. A 

Snapping Sound by: Represent: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11535920/1/A-Snapping-Sound Summary: COMPLETE — “You’re new Sam, so you don’t know. This will be the only warning you get. Don’t trust your eyes or you’ll be tricked. Nobody in Amity is who they seem. Nobody.” (personal note, another clasic of the phandom) 

Dead Man’s Blood by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/991204 Summary: “Pfah! What good’re cops in a town like this?” The old man waves dismissively. “Nah, Phantom’ll take care of things, same as he always does.” Dean pauses in fishing out his wallet. “Phantom? Who’s Phantom?” 

we are all walking each other home by anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16007549 Summary: Danny’s eyes flare. “What?” “Nothing,” Tucker says quickly, because he has a healthy sense of self-preservation and respect for the stupid amount of super strength and speed Danny’s got in ghost mode. “It’s just weird to see Phantom look so casual,” Sam drawls, because her favorite thing in the world is to push a guy’s buttons when he’s already down, apparently. 

when the sun burns out by: anthrop: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5594869 Summary: “Storm?” Vlad scoffs. “This is no mere storm bearing down on us. He has opened a door, and He’s stepping through it now. He will reach down from beyond the stars to pluck you and I out of our weak meat with neither fuss nor flair. Don’t you see it, Daniel? We’re finally going to die.” 

feel the outside turning in By: anthrop: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12292512/1/feel-the-outside-turning-in Summary: You remember falling out of the portal, and the dizzying twist in perception as you watched yourself fall. You watched the awful jitter of your body’s limbs, writhing like a dying insect, your white jumpsuit burnt black and smoking. You watched Sam and Tucker stagger away, the flashing lights carving terror deep into their faces. (personal note, It’s actually still Danny’s perspective but 2nd person is used) 

Ghost speak; the Teacher By: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/45888938801/ghost-speak-the-teacher Summary: Danny slips into ghost speak and Lancer, Like the good teacher he is, tries to translate 

From Ashes to Ashes by: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/74683295739/from-the-ashes Summary: Danny becomes less and less himself in the worst way possible From Ashes to 

Ashes (Part 2) by: @phantomrose96 http://phantomrose96.tumblr.com/post/92381491182/from-the-ashes-part-2 Summary: It’s Part 2 I aint gonna spoil it 

A Ghost Story By: Cordria: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11590571/1/A-Ghost-Story Summary: Maddie finds a strange toy airplane in a field, and it leads her to learning some very interesting things about her family. A spooky oneshot to celebrate the dead. 

Masks By: Cordria https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3831182/1/Masks Summary: Sometimes, people hide who they truly are behind masks. This is a short story about the day that Lancer decides enough is enough when it comes to Daniel Fenton. Sequel is ‘Plunge’. 

Plunge By: Cordria https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4759041/1/Plunge Summary: Sequel to ‘Masks’. Now that Lancer has learned the truth and has let Danny out of his office, Danny needs to face the next hurdle: his parents.

Caution: extremely depressing and dark. Sequel to ‘Pits’. (Personal note, this was in 1st perspective? I had no memories if that but when I came into the phantom and read this + Pits I sobbed my self to sleep. Cordia has a Tumblr too? Anyway her stuff is off the shits)

Absence by RadarsTeddyBear

That's all I've got for now!! Make sure to check the tags before reading to make sure that there's nothing that will bother you <33

🥲 I love your art and vibe in general , I was wondering if your ao3 bookmarks are public??? I just feel like you have some BANGER fics to browse through

Thank you ! This is embarrassing lmao I read a lot of fics and I think a have almost 500 public bookmarks 😭 my username on there is just habs if you wanted to browse them, a huge chunk of them are quirk accident stuff

my personal recommendations:

si vis pacem by athenoot - 70k incomplete - john wick reincarnates as deku, it’s so good and also a Very Funny concept to me

the dispatcher by bovie - 18k incomplete - deku’s like a semi omnipent god and also ten years old and also works as a dispathcer for underground heroes! The dedication the author has put into the fic is insane there’s so many maps, the disaster management and just everything is so well thought out and researched it’s honestly really impressive

permanent ink by maxine - 117k complete - it’s a bkdk soulmate fic, you get words on your arm at a certain age, something that your soulmate has said to you that’s important. Bakugou knows it’s deku but doesn’t know how to tell him. It’s bkdk but it also lowkey really made me like bakukami too

vacation by literalpieceoftrash - 10k incomplete - the last update was Awhile ago but I recommend it wholeheartedly anyways. Basically planes trains and automobiles except all for one accidentally kidnaps deku when he steals inko’s rental car and so all might (posing as a civilian) and her are trying to get deku back, and everyone is collectively trying to make their way across the country to get to california for the hero convention (to top it off, it’s also dad for one) 10/10

seeping through by ashenice - 6k complete - I love fics with the one for all holders so much, anything with the quirk haunted tag I will gobble up and this one is super funny. Summary is deku starts developing traits/skills from the past users starting with a shellfish allergy

the fine line (between you and me) by azureflowers - 50k complete - bkdk sharing a body I love bodyswap shenanigans so much and this one was so fun to read ! Little angst, little goofy, deku’s body technically kicks it but,,, it’s fine

cat’s paws on calm water by floating cow - 19k complete - pro hero!deku goes back in time to stop villains from attacking his class, tries to do so wothout being found out but it doesn’t fully go as planned. One of my favourite time travel fics ! I’ve reread it at least once I like it a whole bunch

a bunny and her son by wonhaebunny - 2k complete - this one is topical because of the bunny bakugou stuff I drew, but bakugou’s a big miruko stan and doesn’t know how to act when he meets her it’s just very cute and sweet and deku’s a little shit <3

gingerbread cookies by necroesthe - 14k complete - I originally read this when I was looking for peanut allergy!deku stuff and it’s so sweet I love it a lot. It’s shindeku and summary is deku get too many cavities so his mom (and everyone in 1a) bans him from eating sweets, he finds shinsou making cookies and decides to kick it with him during lunches

Everything I want from a Danny Phantom x Harry Potter Crossover

Based on amazing crossovers such as the Half-Dead Phoenix, Spirited Away, Weirdward, The Phantom and the Potter, Wand of a Halfa, and Evanesco!

(Edit: added links to all the fic recs. Some of them have some cussing, but I don’t remember which ones, so read at your own risk)

Danny does not get an owl or a toad. He gets a cat. A black ghost cat with bright green eyes. He did not mean to get said cat, it just happened. Inky (Marsalias/Lula’s ghost cat OC) is alarmingly persuasive. Danny had nothing to do with this.

No, really. Inky got wind of it, followed Danny to Diagon Alley, and waited for him inside. She then presented a very strong argument as to why she should go with him to Hogwarts. Not only would she be a ghostly ally that can blend in wherever she goes, she can take messages back and forth far quicker than an owl.

“Don’t you live with the Westons?” “I am perfectly capable of taking care of all my kittens, thank you very much.”

To McGonagall and Jack, this looks like Danny getting annoyed and talking to a random cat who seems to be meowing rather pointedly

(yes Jack Fenton takes Danny to Diagon Alley. I’ve been reading too much fanfiction to want to deal with Maddie right now but I still want Danny and Jazz to have at least one semi-decent parental figure)

The wands hate him. Ollivander had to get out the strange heirloom from a man called Charles Worth. Danny has a good secret chuckle over that (Wand of a Halfa)

When the Weasley twins say he has to fight a dragon for the Sorting Ceremony (The Phantom and the Potter), he takes it seriously.

“Again?! Whatever. Fine. How big is it and are outside weapons allowed?”

When he finds out that it’s actually a mind-reading hat, he asks if he can fight the dragon instead. 

He gets sorted into Slytherin because he locks the Hat out of his mind and then asks which House will make people trust him without question like that one HP meme

He just wants to not be blamed for everything going wrong all the time but the Hat doesn’t know that

Now the teachers are confused because after the dragon comment they thought for SURE he’d be a Gryffindor. Aren’t Slytherins supposed to have self-preservation instincts?

Gosh Danny would be so fantastic in all the Houses but his colors being green and black and silver and already having to deal with being pre-labeled as evil and devious just the narrative parallels are so fantastic

On the other hand, badger Danny…

…no, I couldn’t do that to him. But it sure would be funny!

The ghosts all gather around him wanting to know what he’s doing and he’s just like, can I eat my chicken in peace please

When he finds out Astronomy is a required class he almost combusts

He’s also super fascinated with wizard watches and goes on and on about how sensible they are. No one has the heart to tell him that 99.99% of the population does not have the time or the willpower to memorize entire star maps and planetary movements just to tell the time.

Peeves listens to him. Not just because he’s scary, but he helps with some of the (more harmless) pranks.

Danny gets into a prank war with the Weasley twins. Halfway through, he convinces Lee to switch sides, leading to Lee being called the Sympathizer (affectionate/derogatory) for the rest of the year

Danny adopts some of the more feral children and teaches them all he knows of combat. He simultaneously knows too much and too little

Like, he has no idea how wizard duels work, or what kind of offensive/defensive spells there are, and his hand-to-hand has decent form but is lacking in discipline

However, he does have in-depth advice on how to analyze a fight and determine the threat level, improvise weapons/use the environment, and troll an opponent into insanity

He also lists common pressure points and weaknesses (joints, thinner skin spots, nerve clusters, etc) and how to injure/not injure someone. He does not mention that most of this knowledge comes not from injuring others, but being injured himself

Feral children include Neville, Ginny, Luna, the Creevies, a few Puffs and pretty much all the Slytherin firsties who haven’t been corrupted by the propaganda yet (kinda-sorta The Potter and the Phantom, I’m a little salty about the most recent chapter)

I would add the HP trio but they’re too suspicious of Danny because all their interactions have been unfortunately creepy and he makes Harry’s scar prickle like crazy 

Also I don’t want to deal with main plot drama I am here for Mandalorian-esque background shenanigans and not-my-division

Danny’s parents send a care package of fudge. It comes alive and tries to attack everyone. Suddenly everyone understands why the Monster Book of Monsters didn’t faze him

Seriously he growled the book into submission what the heck Fenton (aka my current favorite part of The Phantom and the Potter)

Danny and Hagrid get along like a house on fire. Everyone looks on in awe and horror.

Danny asks if the owls have some kind of tracking magic and if they’re used as wizarding bloodhounds. Nobody can answer this

Actually, Danny asks a lot of questions and makes a lot of comments that leave everyone in the vicinity vaguely disturbed

Danny has a list of people that he’ll regularly prank out of vengeance for his feral children. His friends affectionately call it ‘Danny’s Hit List.’ Current victims include Zacharias Smith, Draco Malfoy, and Cormac McClaggan. He also occasionally targets Ronald Weasley for intimidating his Slytherin firsties.

Danny feels a bit sorry for Harry because he knows intimately what he’s going through, and encourages his feral children to give him space. The HP trio sees this as an avoidance tactic and their suspicion rises.

Danny does not like Mad-Eye’s vibes. He sets off his alarm bells in a similar way to Severus Snape and Igor Karkaroff (I don’t know which fic has Danny sensing Dark Marks but it’s somewhere). He especially doesn’t like that Mad-Eye can somehow see him while invisible.

Barty Crouch Jr. has no idea what Danny is. He looks human, but there’s something else there that he can’t pin down. Is it the glow? The buzzing edges of his figure? The fangs? Well, he doesn’t seem like he’s interested in interfering, so Barty will leave him alone for now.

Danny is not exactly here of his own free will. MACUSA has no desire to get in the middle of whatever is going on in Amity Park, and is definitely not eager to deal with the Fentons (Spirited Away). It was either Hogwarts or be forcibly removed from his family and have their memories wiped. Nobody is happy about this (except for Dumbledore).

This means that he’s practicing opening portals. His future self could do it, so he knows he can learn it. It’s slow going, but Inky helps. Once he knows he can go back and forth quickly, he’ll sleep a lot more easily.

He tries to keep up with his muggle schoolwork for if when he goes back to Casper since he’s not hampered by sudden ghost attacks (this is where the family genius shines through; he gets pretty good grades on all of his schoolwork, even if some of it is a bit late or unfinished due to the sheer workload. Of course, Danny does not see this at all).

He is both envious and distraught that wizards don’t learn science or math or language. He then decides to force his feral children to at least learn basic math (“Your monetary system is as least as bad as the Imperial measurement system, you need this”) and biology (“Okay, this is just the broad strokes of how your body works. This is how you can break your body. Please don’t. This is how you can fix your body if there’s no mediwitch available. Please do.”). They are both intrigued and annoyed.

I’m tempted to have him suddenly realize he’s never flown while intangible while talking about brooms to Ginny. Super-fast wanderer Danny is a concept that lives in my head rent-free.

On the one hand, I don’t want to flood this crossover with too many AU concepts, but on the other hand super-fast wanderer Danny

He’d still prefer portals for quicker travel, but having a backup could be a good idea. I’ll have to think about it.

Ending? What ending? The shenanigans will last forever and a certain wizarding war can’t stop them

In all seriousness I don’t think having Danny interfere too much with the HP trio is a good idea, I get a little tired of alternate canon events or having major plot points magically averted just because of an OP other-dimensional character. 

I’d rather have Danny setting up safe houses and taking care of his feral children in the background, more focused on taking care of survivors than doing Harry’s job. Someone’s gotta protect them, after all, and Danny can do it much more easily than the HP trio ever could

The False Avatar by JBGilroy

https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12637699/1/The-False-Avatar

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

Tips:

Do the best you can

If it hurts stop

Envision future you saying thank you each time you do one of the exercises

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.

A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.

Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic?  She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing.  But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great.  She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success.  So - what gives?

His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear.  Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles.  He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses.  You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on.  Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered.  He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit.  That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.

I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way.  I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did. 

It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this.  But no one ever told me.  I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes.  No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.

I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed.  I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to.  No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to.  I guess I just didn’t know.  I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.

I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.

I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.

So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while.  But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not.  Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
