hey psa to my fellow fat ppl: a few tips + tutorials for upsizing clothing that’s too small, that way if you’ve grown out of certain stuff and can’t afford new things, you can make it fit you– this has helped me a lot in the past
my tips:
cutting off just the neckline of a shirt/dress can help SO much
cutting slits on the sides of tight shirts helps relieve tightness + you can add an accent fabric, lace, or fishnet material under there for an extra design element (or safety pin it back together for a really cool punk look!)
you can do that same thing with sleeves but i recommend doing it underneath (either on the seem if it has one or to the seem that connects it to the shirt)
adding false pleats to skirts/dresses by cutting them up the sides and in the front and adding an accent fabric works really well with tightness around the legs
you can do a lot of these side-cut things to pants but if you do, it’s a good idea to add elastic to the waist band!

ok so
everyone knows about this meme, right?
but does anyone else know the woman who made the food? no? time to educate!
This is “Mother Mary”, the owner of Blackberry’s mother.
She made all the cakes for the restaurant while it was open. Chef Gordon Ramsay tried her red velvet cake, and spoke this meme-able line:
He then called Mary over, complimented her food, and gave her a peck on the cheek.
Look how happy she was to hear that!!!
anyways, I hope she has been able to continue her love for baking since the restaurant closed down.

What if Zuko called Sokka and Katara peasants at some point in Book One and instead of ignoring it or taking it as an insult, Sokka, who's been raised in this culture his whole life and is starting to get sick of people assuming it follows their cultures' rules, just decides "Okay, you know what? No." And somehow incapacitates Zuko, not to kill him, but to say "Alright, Mr. Follows-Us-Everywhere-to-Kidnap-Aang, we're gonna have a little Water Tribe Studies lesson. Aang, you'll be an important world leader if we win this war, so you should take notes too. First of all, your concept of social class means nothing to us! We distribute our resources to best accommodate even the most vulnerable of the group to increase our collective chance of survival. We do not pay tribute to our leaders the way the actual peasants of your backwards, land-grabbing homeland do! On that note, land ownership? Also means nothing to us."
And he just goes on like this and Iroh is just stroking his beard and nodding contemplatively saying "Now this kind of firsthand experience is something you can't find in even the rarest books from the outside perspective."
And Zuko, unable to move or fight and maybe even hanging upside down is freaking out like "YOU WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME?!?!"
And Iroh just says "Hush, Prince Zuko, he's not finished."
