You’ve made a deal with a dark deity and have written them into the online writing community of your fandoms. Each time someone reads something where this deity is mentioned, they get possessed. And on top of it, this deity wants to marry you.

Hello

Hello

When we talk about being fat-positive and we say, “weight is not an indication of health,” I will reblog it. But I want us to also say, “health is not an indication of value.”

I could be at any weight and I will never be healthy, because I am chronically ill. Someone might be chronically ill and fat, or they might be chronically ill and not fat, and it really doesn’t matter.

When you make it about health, you’re saying health is the pinnacle of human achievement, and you’re shitting on those of us for whom health will always be a pipe dream.

An open letter about Thor in Avengers: Endgame

Spoilers ahead: you have been warned. 

For those of you who don’t already know, and have elected to ignore my spoiler warning, Thor is much different in Avengers: Endgame than he is in any other movie. That is to say, he is chubby and alcoholic and depressed. When we first meet him, he is unshaven, overweight, drunk, and overall fairly pathetic. This is the part in theatres when people laughed. They continued to laugh throughout the whole movie as jokes were being thrown about his state. He dressed poorly, was only focused on alcohol, and was overall just way different from the Thor we have come to know. Instead of noble and brave, he’s angry, defeated, and sad. Here’s where I lie conflicted. 

As a person who is clinically depressed, overweight, and the child of an alcoholic, I feel none of these subjects are really laughing matters. Depression, whether induced by a chemical imbalance or the inability to kill a titan dictator who strives for balance, is serious. It makes you a different person. It makes you tired, worn, and just overall sad. It is worse than just being upset. It is painful. Being fat just adds to the pain. You are looked at as different and ugly just because you aren’t traditionally beautiful. You’d be amazed just how much of your life and social interactions change just because you are overweight. Alcoholism is probably the worst out of the three. It destroys those around you and leaves you hollow. It’s terrifying. It shapes you as a person. It changes you from your true self to someone hardly recognizable. It’s scary. 

So a part of me hates this. A part of me hates that they show Thor in a “funny” light in the movie. How dare they take my illnesses, insecurities, and struggles and turn them into a joke? Like, seriously? That seems like the last thing you should do. Part of me wants to make this whole letter an outcry of resentment. 

But there’s something else. 

Thor may be all these things in Avengers: Endgame, but he is also something more. He is strong. There’s a scene where he goes head-to-head with Thanos (maybe with a few other people, I’ve only seen the movie once) and he does some serious work. Just because he is all these things doesn’t take away the fact that he is strong enough to go against the mad titan himself. At the end of the movie, he is kind and self-aware enough to give away New Asgard to a more worthy candidate, and he goes out to find himself a new home with the Guardians of the Galaxy. That’s amazing. It is so good to know that Thor is going to be working through his problems and finding a new purpose. But, then again, I find myself conflicted. 

We know that, in the new Guardians movie, Thor will most likely be back to his rugged, chiseled self. What does that mean? Was the chubbiness only a joke? A way to get audiences to laugh? Still, I find myself wondering what this means for these communities as a whole. 

Here’s my opinion. This may have the potential for being only humorous and therefore cruel in my eyes, but it all depends on the next Guardians movie. If Thor is in it, he should still be somewhat chubby. He should be working to get rid of that extra fat if that’s what he wants. He should be struggling with how hard it is. He should still be funny, kind, and noble and all the things we know Thor to be. He should still struggle with his alcoholism and depression as those things don’t go away overnight (even if the mad titan is finally dead). But, most importantly, he should still be strong. He should still be an important member of the plot and team. The others shouldn’t make fun of his suffering (yes, I know, it is WAY too easy to write that in) and should support him. This is how you can redeem Thor. This is how you give us the representation that we need. We don’t need fat jokes or comments on his hygiene, we need Thor to show us that it can get better and that, even in your worst times, you can stay strong and helpful. What we need is a Thor who is working through his problems in a healthy way (or at least learns to do it in a healthy way). Thank you if you’ve read this far. I hope that you stay strong and well in your life too.

Hi, guys!  So I decided to do another giveaway, because I reached 1400 followers!  Thank you so much!  I’m honored and humbled, and also mildly confused as to why, but I appreciate you all immensely.

As a way to show my appreciation, I’ve decided to do another giveaway!  This time, it’s buttons.  =)

Three lucky winners will get to choose two buttons each, and I will ship them your way, free of charge.  It’s my thanks to you, for being even remotely interested in my blog.

How to play:

Follow @jemsauce

Share this post.

I’ll choose three winners via random number generator, and you guys can choose which buttons you’d like!  I have multiples, so you could even choose two of the same!*

Entries close Monday, May 20th, at 11:59 pm PST.  I will announce the winners shortly thereafter.

*Disclaimer–I have low quantities of one or two of these, so winners will get to choose in order of first, second, and third, in the event that I run out of stock of one of my options.  I didn’t count all of them, but I know for sure that there is only one Saiki K. button left, and only a couple Mustang/Hawkeye buttons as well.

I have all my files stored on a separate drive, but if you need to see a better pic of one of the buttons, let me know, and I’ll do my best to assist.

There are ten styles to choose from, listed under the cut.

crazy how so many of your experiences as a girl are shaped based on whether you are perceived as attractive or not

The worst thing about having so many introvert friends is that all of them can go literally weeks and weeks without needing, or even wanting, any kind of human interaction. I’m just over here like “Please actually want to go out for an evening? Afternoon? I will even just come hang on your couch? Anything?”.

Like I not only really want that interaction, I actually NEED it. It’s so super hard to get that need met when your favorite people ALL need the opposite, and really, really don’t get it. At all. I can (and do) go out by myself all the time. But I need that energy from people I know *and like* to really recharge.

I have given up on getting to go do loud, crowded, fun activities with friends (like clubbing or dancing). I’ve adjusted to (almost) never getting invited to go out or hang out. I accept that my friends (with like 2.5 exceptions) don’t actively think to ask me to join them, because they don’t need nearly the level of people time I do. I know that that they are going to turn me down 99% of the time, and that it’s not a rejection so much as their “I need me time” response.

I adore my friends. It still really, really sucks to be an extrovert when you have to wait for someone to be both available *and* in the “mood for people” to get to *actually extrovert and recharge*. (It doesn’t help that all of my extrovert friends keep moving away).

This wasn’t supposed to be such a long post. But try to remember your extroverts. We actually need you, and in the physically present sense. We need to be around people we like & enjoy, because we are drawing on that energy.
