Randomly thinkin about Chilchuck today, and how he tries sooooo hard to self sabotage
like for example, other half foots on the island think that he's a greedy asshole who only cares about money, and he does nothing to try to disprove that
but then there's this omake at the end of book 9 that shows that people treat half foots fucking TERRIBLY and chilchuck started a union to protect them
and then in the bicorn chapter, he doesn't want Marcille to keep digging into his personal business so he tells her he CHEATED ON HIS WIFE
but he just COMPLETELY fuckin lied about that and made himself sound so much worse than he is bc he's afraid of being vulnerable with people and would rather everyone believes he's a shitty person so he can keep them at a distance
and the thing that's memed so often is that he refuses to help with fighting most of the time because it's not part of his contract
but if you take this lore into account (not gonna add those particular images to this post simply bc I've used them in so many posts already LMAO) along with this tidbit from the world guide:
then it's like. yeah he has to keep his weight low so if he gets killed or severely injured and has to be healed, that could be really dangerous for him. and even if he was healed at that point he'd end up being a burden to the party after that point, he would be too dangerously thin/sickly to be able to help.
Like, Chilchuck has so many things about him that APPEAR to be character flaws, but every single one of them has a very reasonable explanation. He just leans into the mischaracterization bc he's emotionally withholding and can handle people thinking he's an asshole more than he can handle opening up to anyone. he's such a well thought out and interesting character

FINALLY posting the canon WG timeline for Nathan (as opposed to AUs).
He may look grumpy but he is actually quite happy I assure you. Most of his gains come from his roommate/bf/husband cooking way too much for him, with a side of constant snacking, and occasional stuffings. His highest canon weight is 260kg, which he briefly reaches a year or two into their marriage.
Age-wise he is 23, 25, 30, 38

im in a terrible mood and could really use a bearotonin boost. can i see either your roundest grizzly cubs or your chonkiest kodiaks please?
We are very sorry to hear that fam. We hope things get better soon and these round floofy babies can make things a little more bearable 💙💙
We must confess most of the truly round brown bear cubs are not grizzly’s but their coastal brown cousins, which we hope will suffice
