Hi hi if you’re pro ana, thinspo or anything akin to it why are you on my dash. My blogs are not a place to body shame and not a place to promote eating disorders which do infinitely more harm in addition to weight loss

All bodies are good

Fed is healthier than not

I’d much rather you eat something and feel good because you’re not hangry and withering in on yourself than starve and feel good because you’re just bones trying to get the lowest number on a scale like its some game of golf

If you are pro ana/thinspo or whatever other labels you use that are similar DNI I don’t want you near me. I don’t want you near my followers. I don’t want your poisonous ideas hurting me or them.

Please take care of your bodies. Theres nothing wrong with having a swiss roll or a second serving of dinner because your body TELLS YOU when enough is enough. Diet culture is flat out fatphobic and blatant body shaming. Theres nothing wrong with fatty tissue and theres nothing wrong with eating until you are satisfied

You are worth the effort it takes to take care of you

can emma start a cult? i’d join

It may take some convincing but I might be able to get her to start a cult on here, they already have two devoted followers (you and I)

[nattikay]

imagine unironically saying “wow, look at this noble, selfless, responsible boy with good, even exceptional life skills who cares deeply about his family, looks out for his younger siblings, and sets a good example for them. Yup, his parents really screwed up with this poor kid! Massive fail!”

[average-freak]

the song “nothing worth loving isn’t askew” just makes me happy

also some actual ragapom art that includes the two in one page

holy s#%^

( edit: thank y’all for the 60 notes bro damn <3 )

something I’ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I don’t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldn’t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasn’t because he didn’t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone else’s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldn’t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasn’t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isn’t immune to feeling despair, he’s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think that’s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ‘oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind it’ or ‘he can do better than that. he’s so weak’ or ‘come on, there’s no way he’d fall into despair, he’s the Ultimate Hope!’ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didn’t feel despair the same way ‘normal people’ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasn’t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he just… was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ‘gung-ho’ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junko’s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesn’t all rest on Makoto, he’s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, it’s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.

“But… this world is so huge, and we’re so small. What can we do…? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!”

I do not think it’s a good idea to keep Nia’s situation from the rest of the group. But the bitchy side of me is glad she doesn’t wanna tell anyone because I know the moment we do, it’ll become all about her again and MC’s issues will get pushed even further into the background 😑🤷🏽‍♀️

Just finished the trials of Apollo and I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT

These books were so different to me because they directly revolved around a topic Rick clearly wanted to touch - abuse. Specifically, familial abuse. Personally I think he’d done it gracefully in a way that really sinks in for me now, but I’m not a victim of abuse and don’t pretend to understand the subject.

Regardless, I think the way Rick wrote Apollo, Lester, was absolute perfection. There’s an art to writing a literal god in first person perspective, and have him be one of the most human characters in the entire franchise.

Lester STRUGGLES. And he’s not perfect at all, he doesn’t even begin to understand everything at the start - not the world, not consequences, not the stakes and not the people around him. But fuck he learns, he learns the hard way, the only way, by doing. And it’s not a linear journey either - between book 1 and his more or less lucid identity in book 5, he goes back and forth between learning, and relapsing to his old ways, and learning again, and trusting and understand and rising victorious in all the confusion. He doesn’t shy away from his emotions - he cries a lot, and gets frustrated, and laughs. He learns to feel for other people. But he also learns to heal himself. And he does it by helping others heal, too.

To me, this red thread tying the books together by a common serious subject, made the reading somehow more whole. I can’t explain it, but Apollo slowly verbalising (well, thinking), realising there are similarities between his relationship with Zeus to Meg’s relationship with Nero, was so satisfying. Although I feel like “satisfying” might be a bit of a harsh word. Mostly I felt proud of him. I /felt/ for him, so very much, for so long. He’s likeable because he’s so human, and that includes both his silly and tragic sides, because these coexist within all of us. And I think he as a character encompassed that beautifully.

Reading that last book, expecting a showdown of sorts between Apollo and his father, and receiving a short conversation, an understanding, instead, was amazing. Because that’s Rick’s way of showing us what’s important. No use trying to fix what we can’t, what isn’t our responsibility to fix, what makes us miserable. Humans have this natural ability to rise from their own disasters and forge out of them their own paths in life. And Apollo did just that. It took him time, but that’s how it goes for all of us. And instead of fighting Zeus, he chose happiness. He chose focusing on what’s important, his old hobbies, his friends.

In a way, I’m bittersweet- I wish he didn’t have to stay at Olympus. I wish he could spend as much time as he’d like on earth. But the thing is, a god is what he /is/. But now, he understands for the first time that he gets to pick what kind of god he should be.

And he chose the human kind.

[thefanciestborrower]

you can’t trust creators anymore. you literally cannot unless someone makes an allegation, in which you should ALWAYS look at all evidence and arguments before you make an active decision to cut off support or speak against a creator. in this case, an obviously pr-branded ‘apology’ without a single sorry was the only thing Shubble and the community got publicly.

in cases of severe allegations over the years, I will admit I’ve felt uncertain or uneasy about the innocence or guilt or even severity of an important situation. because of CONSTANT STREAM of FALSE allegations made by liars and clout-seeking individuals, the concept of victim became certainly very unsteady. how would you believe an alleger or an alleged just like that when it has become increasingly common for people to create lies in order to RUIN a possible victim or a shitty person’s life? I hope that makes sense.

in the most recent conflict, however, it is without a doubt that Wilbur is completely and utterly guilty of these just foul and disturbing truths that Shubble has revealed. not ONLY does she come forward, as a respectable content creator, but other people like Wilbur’s ex-current friends are as well. it is unrefutable. he has done and continued to do fucked, manipulative, and just terribly wrong things to his “loved ones.”

but don’t create a mob against creators who haven’t yet spoken out. remember you don’t know these people. you have NO idea what they’ve experienced. you have NO idea if certain people are even trustworthy anymore. CONTENT CREATORS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. THEY ARE NOT YOUR ANGELS. JUST BECAUSE A COMMUNITY THAT YOU ARE APART OF HAS GIVEN THEM A PLATFORM DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE FULLY UPSTANDING HUMAN BEINGS. THEY ARE FUCKED UP LIKE YOU AND I, AND THEY HAVE SECRETS AND MISTAKES JUST LIKE YOU AND I.

the difference is that mistakes are one thing. active choice to abuse is another. and you have NO clue whether someone in a position of power is practicing that. you have no idea who they are.

honestly? I hope he continues getting the help he needs, if he even got any in the first place. It’s just not anyone’s responsibility to fix him and expect him to change. It’s his own. It’s not your problem. It is his. And you as a fan don’t owe him anything. He has become another number in the book of “well, I guess some people we once trusted to have a public platform and not actively harm other people and then refuse to even apologize for their actions really ARE pretty shitty.”

Above all, I know the community will come together to uplift Shubble and old friends. If you haven’t checked Shubble out, go ahead! She’s simply delightful in her streams and creates a comforting atmosphere for her community based on what I have seen myself.

And lastly, I want you to know that it is going to be okay. You are not guilty for ever liking his content. You are not guilty for ever liking Lovejoy. You are NOT GUILTY. this is a moment in time, nearly revolutionary that such a powerful and well loved creator was proven by his own words to have done shit things, and it will be okay in the end. Support the truth, and support Shubble. it. will. be. okay. ❤️
