#your body is valid

[wronggalaxy]

I'm reading lists on different websites for packed lunch ideas so here's a reminder that: healthy isn't the same for everyone.

The websites keep saying to always use full grain/wheat bread, crackers, etc. because "that's healthier", but guess what? I'm allergic to wheat, so full grain/wheat is in fact not healthier for me.

Never let someone else tell you you're unhealthy/not making healthy choices because you don't eat or exercise the way society tells you to.

Your body is valid too.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

hey, here's a reminder that Foul Legacy loves you no matter what body type you have! personally he would be delighted if you were a little soft and squishy, it makes you that much better for hugging and snuggling with. no matter what you look like, he still adores everything about you, nuzzling his head into your stomach and purring; on bad days where you can't stand looking at yourself in the mirror, he scoops you into his arms and nudges his mouth delicately against your cheeks in his form of a kiss, occasionally giving you single cheeky licks.

Foul Legacy loves you, no matter what <3

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

I love you ao3 writers, but ya'll who write fix it smut that gives Nick Valentine some sort of genital modification so he can "finally have sex," are cowards. Nick's story is a queer story. Nick's arc is finding joy and empowerment in the bodymind he has, coming to terms with his humanity, and that he's not inferior to the original Nick. And you’re missing the opportunity to showcase the eroticism of non penetrative sex. Or kink? Toys? So many options.

humans literally evolved to have danger-sense and people will really be out here telling themselves "it's probably nothing" "i must be crazy" "i'm overreacting" perhaps NOT, bestie. perhaps you are entirely correct

Binah loves it if you're physically soft. it's such a contrast from her own cold, toned body, and a wonderful one in her eyes. softness makes you warm and comfortable, all that much better to hug and pull close to her chest. she can still pick you up no matter what. being an ex-Arbiter doesn't mean she's weak by any means. she enjoys lightly squishing or laying on top of you, using you as a soft pillow, or tugging you onto her lap and idly kneading her hands against your shoulders. softness is something Binah has little of, so she loves that you're the way that you are, no matter what, as you already bring such light and happiness to her life.

this applies to Queequeg too. and Outis for good measure because i like her.
