hey! fc anon here. don't worry about finding me one. I'll keep poking around, I've learned a few things that should make it easier. Thank you, though and, again, glad you're back and doing stuff.
I’m sorry Nonnie! I meant to reply to this way earlier! I may still answer it just to answer it and have that list out there! Normally I would have loved to answer quickly but damn this week has been... a lot. Work got so busy and it’s stressful because we have new assistant manager and one back who left during most of this pandemic. And they’re reforming some stuff. And I’m just... kinda not here for the panic. Heh. Sorry, random rant. It’s been tiring.

Thinking back on it, roleplay really changed around 2015/2016, which is also right about the time we entered the era of ‘gif icons’ and longer replies. Before that groups tended to last for a year, sometimes two, but I feel like we as roleplayers have just grown so impatient. We don’t want to wait around and develop friendships, and ships naturally, we always want to plot these things out right away, which then already cuts out a chunk of time you used to normally put into developing those connections. And if we don’t get what we want right away, we don’t hang around to develop it, people are impatient and just leave and try another place, and then leave there, and trying another place, it’s just a loop.
I know it won’t happen, but we really need to just slow down the connection development and stop pushing for instant connections and instead go back to trying to develop them naturally.
I also feel like we’ve started to bite off more than we can chew with replies which can severely hinder activity in the group. Multi-para, or even just para replies often lead to people putting off doing them because it’s a lot of time and can often be draining. Unlike when it was more like one or two lines which you could do in like twenty-seconds, and then move on.

write more plus size muses challenge ( from a writer with two chins & counting ) !! tw ; eating disorder , body image , fatphobia mention.
there are a million reasons someone is overweight. some of us don’t know , or care. we don’t have to explain it or justify it. neither does your character.
but they can. and sometimes it’s really important. i have struggled with my size my whole life , but i attribute most of it to an eating disorder. but that’s for me , not you.
we don’t need to eat double the portion size to feel satisfied , nor do we need to eat more often. our hunger works like yours does.
stop writing fat characters who are constantly snacking or asking every other character for their leftovers. it’s fucking rude. we don’t do that.
if anything , i am more likely to eat less or avoid eating altogether when around others.
also stop writing fat characters that are constantly dieting. stop writing fat characters who lose weight to be liked ( or for any other reason for themselves ). we don’t have to change ourselves , just the people around us.
plus size bodies are unique and beautiful. we can be tall or short or hairy or lanky.
our weight isn’t all in the hips and ass. mine’s in my torso. it can be in your chest , your face , stomach, legs, thighs. most of the time , it’s everywhere , spread out.
i have stretch marks, but those only showed up when i rapidly gained weight . most of my life i didn’t have them despite being fat from a young age.
my thighs and upper arms jiggle. a lot.
we don’t all hate our bodies & we’re not all bullied for them. we make fun of ourselves too. i love my jiggly arms.
that being said , we are treated differently. all the time. sometimes i think people are scared i’ll crush them by just standing there & talking ? or they think i’ll breathe the fat plague in their space ?
shopping is really hard. most stores don’t cater to fat bodies at all , especially in women’s. i mostly shop in the men’s section or in exclusively plus size stores. our options are super limited. that’s not our fault.
the word fat isn’t offensive. but don’t call me it or describe me as it. we do use it to describe ourselves. and not in a negative way !
speaking of ? did i mention we don’t all hate our bodies and want to change them?
edit your language. eradicate the idea that skinny is beautiful. every size is beautiful , asshole. i’m really cute. being fat and being beautiful are not mutually exclusive.
don’t say “you’re not fat” to a fat person like it’s a compliment. i am fat and that’s okay. stop treating fatness like a character flaw.
we fall in love just like you. we don’t have to settle for an individual who makes us feel like crap just to not be lonely. i know it’s hard to believe but there are actually people out there who don’t judge character by weight.
it’s not cute to have fat as your “type” because not one of us is the same, our bodies are so different and our only similarity , really , is we’re bigger than average. we’re not a fetish.
there’s no fat clique. i have friends who are plus size and ones that are skinny. i knew really popular assholes in high school who were fat. i knew soft-spoken ones and edgy ones and stoners. we’re not all friends. not all of our friends share our size.
same with our families. stop assuming we come from fat families. being overweight can be / is genetic as well as due to lifestyle choices. both of my brothers are skinny. my mom is bigger than me , my dad is average. my grandparents are small , my cousin is a little smaller than me & my aunt used to be big but ended up losing a lot of weight due to a physical illness.
boobs sag. gravity pulls them down before anything else. mine bounce , fall , pop out of my shirt , whatever the fuck they want. they crush each other when i lie on my side and spread in big blobs when i’m on my back. they’re super annoying and i love them.
it is possible to balance items on our chests. it’s very useful. sometimes i’ll prop my boob up to have a bigger table when i’m carrying something. sometimes i’ll rest my container of applesauce on it while i’m lying down. my dog likes to use them for pillows.
i can’t see through them. it takes some work. i can’t lay flat with a bra on and watch tv at the same time. i can’t see through my stomach when i’m looking down either.
that doesn’t mean it’s harder for us or takes longer for us to use the bathroom or shower. we just have to learn to do some of it blindly or move faster ( because yes , of course we wash under our fat?? )
i do not sleep with a bra on. i was told at a young age that i should though. i don’t know if there’s any merit to that tip or if it was invented to make skinny people at sleepovers more comfortable.
we can ( and do ) wear sports bras. same with spandex, tights, and crop tops. we can wear whatever we want just like you. it’s just not as easy for us to find these items in our size , in stores.
being fat isn’t a disability.
we don’t get special treatment in gym class or different expectations , because guess what ? we’re not unhealthy. stop babying us when it comes to physical activity. we know our own limits and we’ll tell you if we’re close to them.
we can run. we can do yoga and stretch without cracking or breaking something. we can & and do have sex. we’re not always in pain either , for the love of god!!
there are things we can’t do. the most obvious place for me is at carnivals ? i still go to them, but i don’t go on rides. most don’t support fat people. same with clothes. most of them don’t come in our size. our options are limited.
we don’t sweat more than the average person? weight isn’t an indicator of how much you perspire.
on that note , i don’t give a damn what health blogs and magazines tell you. those are written by skinny people who hate us and think we’re gross. we are each individually responsible for a so called obesity epidemic , according to them. they’ll do whatever to convince you of this.
i’m not “glorifying obesity” either. i’m telling you that i exist and i’m not disgusting because my body looks like this.
don’t forget to be intersectional when considering writing plus size characters. familiarize yourself with harmful stereotypes and misconceptions. i’m a cis white woman. i have it a lot easier than plus size poc, and plus size trans ppl.
