So this headcanon I'm about to ramble a bit about is both about body image feelings, and minor spoilers abt some Psychonauts 2 Art Book concept art, #PN2 art book spoilers #spoilers yknow

so with that out of the way

Helmut's got some old concept art where his mental world outfit had a lot more of a classic viking inspo, and a few where he's got his shirt off have Mental World Abs added on and it comes across like how he'd wanna be shown off

and it has me thinking about how Helmut might have thought about himself and being fat... and I personally can relate to that feeling of like being really happy with and good with how my fat body looks but every so often thinking about how it could be different.

I like the vibe of confident showman Helmut once in a blue moon looking in the mirror while changing into his stage clothes thinking about like getting Muscles and Toning his Body bc he feels like that'd look nicer

but he gets reminded that he's already really strong (he can lift stage equipment like no problem even without telekinesis) and he doesn't need like a chiseled six pack for that. he's good. he looks and feels great already and can pull off any outfit bc of his natural charisma

AND. of course. bob loves his tummy very much, added bonus

No context. Just an exchange that will be in the next part of The Complicated Sparda Family Tree.

we know we're late to this but we're just finding out the details now, apparently this vtuber got called out for making a fatphobic parody song and then made the defense that it was actually based around a running gag with inflation in her community. sure, okay, inflation is something reasonable to joke about as long as you're not being a straight up ass. thumbs up. playful fun. and then we hear the actual song and she's going off about "gaining chub" and "heart disease" YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT INFLATION IS

i'm sure i could make a more coherent post later but do u ever think abt sonic, tails, and eggman and how the three of them are stuck in an endless funhouse mirror maze? do u ever think about how these are two of the most important people in sonics life? how (depending on canon) the only adult in a young hoglets life is also the very man set to destroy it? about how sonic grew up around robotnik? about how he surely must have picked up traits? about how those traits passed down from sonic to his brother? about how sometimes when the thoughts won't stop sonic can't bear to look at all the machines and death rays in tails's workshop because they're just a little too familiar? do you ever think about how sonic is sandwiched between two twisted portraits of himself? about how he looks at tails and sees eggman's drive and about how he looks at eggman and sees tails's ingenuity? about how two of the most important and formative people for sonic to have ever met are lonely geniuses? do you ever think about how tails takes after sonic who takes after eggman?

is it any wonder that miles prower, in a world without sonic, is even more similar to eggman? what with his practicality, pessimism, and lack of loyalty?

is it any wonder that doctor ivo robotnik is the only one to have made the closest thing to a perfect copy of sonic as possible? a copy so perfect it deems sonic, the original, to be a loathsome copy?

know thy enemy. keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

strange, isn't it?

also of course my coworkers in the wage cage are, insane. and somehow each have very lengthy incomprehensible custody battle stories they simply MUST share with every new person they meet

the period of my adult life when i was thinnest was also the period i was unhappiest bc i was on appetite suppressants for all of my late teens and into my 20s (i stopped after i turned 21) and i was so moody and exhausted all the fucking time bc i couldn’t physically eat enough to fuel my body without feeling sick. i was Miserable. and STILL the doctor that prescribed them lectured me for not losing enough weight on them and not exercising enough, despite me not having the energy to exercise because i couldn’t eat. so i switched doctors and the new one did the same thing except with the added bonus of trying to sell me the diet she was being paid to sell with promises it would change my life. so i moved to another state and stopped taking my meds and my mother printed out and mailed me an entire diet plan just in case i wanted to try it. and this is just what i’m expected to live with and deal with forever because my body isn’t the size other people think it should be? i brought concern after concern to those doctors and they ignored them in favor of telling me to eat less and less. and even that was all in an attempt to prove to my insurance that i was responsible enough to lose weight so that they would cover bariatric surgery! for what reason? so i would be the size i was “supposed” to be? because weight loss may have “cured” the hormonal disorder i’ve had since i was a child that presents in “undesirable” intersex traits? the same disorder that makes the already herculean task of “losing weight” even harder? i was convinced by Medical Professionals that the only path to a fulfilling life was thinness and by extension was forced into misery in the pursuit of it. and it’s not! i’m fatter and happier now than i’ve ever been and i’m surrounded by people who love me and it’s fucking awesome. but i spent soooo many years convinced those things were incompatible and it sucks to look back on my teens and think abt how much time was lost to feeling Too Fat to live a full life. anyway that’s my rant for today

why can't ppl be normal abt kids having fun on the internet. like. a kid goes mildly viral bc they upload genuinely funny content and immediately a bunch of actual adults have to start making fun of how they look or sound or w/e. man if you're so bothered by their videos keep scrolling?? 😭😭😭
