the body acceptance movement struggles for us because it seems like most of the time, the intended goal is "people with conventionally unattractive features can still be beautiful" and not "people with conventionally unattractive features still deserve respect and the ability to live in their bodies without unwarranted advice or rude comments" and that sucks.
it just leads to "look at this person, they're fat AND beautiful!" or "look at all these models with acne! see its harmless!" ok. you show us a hot person. of course theyre hot. can you please treat us with basic respect now.
people are body positive until they see someone who is fat and ugly or has unflattering acne and then suddenly its a problem

As a survivor of abuse I relate to Machete so much. I've always felt unclean for no reason except being told I was unclean, and it made me feel worthless or revolting by default. Like, no matter what I did I would be filthy and unpleasant to be around.
Seeing that he can be loved, makes me feel like maybe I could be loved too.

just a thought maybe we don't put down our mutuals for the way in which they express their love for their f/os and especially if they're not a conventionally attractive white boy twink maybe which seems to be the bar of acceptable to be attracted to. idk. just a thought

I currently have 3 drafts on this topic bc I keep trying to find an eloquent way to express this but yk what I don’t think that’s going to happen so anyway I love you negative character traits I love you character flaws I love you moments a character I love does something that is just straight up wrong I love you authors who don’t try to have polished characters I love you characters who experience regret and shame

might sound weird to say as a person with a couple ocs who have Big Horrible Event(s) in their backstories or as a person who has like 3 ocs total bc he sucks at writing and as a person who hopes their ocs arent too Boring with [the thing im about to mention] but the thing about writing [characters] and [people] is that like.
any little thing a person experiences can take up their whole existence... its actually something "fun" to experience as i meet new ppl and do more things. My friend had something happen that she'll be talking about forever. I had several things happen last year that ill never stop talking about, some of which other ppl think werent that bad actually. In the same way I'll forever remember about the way my sister accidentally insulted me almost 10 years ago, it's really interesting and Fun to find and assign smaller things like that to characters...its really Real. some people's dealbreakers are other people's solvable problems etc etc

Sometimes you do crazy things
For the things you love. At least… I think that’s how the phrase goes…
AnYhOo, I may or may not have been planning to make a fool of myself for WEEKS to attempt to do this little photo shoot with @kathaynesart Yeehaw Peepaw shirt just because I adored it so much.
I took Peepaw with me on a little adventure to my friends little farm where he got to meet Scout, Fancy and little Dash. (The wee little devil decided just to nom on my fingers the entire time I was trying to take pictures. It was awesome 😆).
Just wanted to say thank you so much Mz. Kathy for all that you do. You’re a HUGE inspiration to me and I very much want to be like you when I grow up. Please also tell Replica Leo how much I love him too. Big hugs because I’m BIG fan! (I believe in you big guy. You’re doing a great job) 🙌🏼🧡💙🤠
ALSO CONGRATS ON POSTING YOUR COMIC! I literally sat open mouth when you posted like “DAYUM! Now THAT is some serious character development, plot lining and story world building”
