Ulysses and the Sirens by Léon Belly (1867)
Love how "chubby", for lack of a better word, the sirens are

And then they are like the only plus size Chara in the show.
This came for The Owl House so hard that the original post doesn’t even mention the show in the tags but half of the notes are “You can say The Owl House, it’s okay”
You know what I would have worn to the Karl Lagerfeld MET Gala?! A beautiful gown embroidered with all the dress sizes from 2 and above on it, and maybe quotes from my diary and texts about how body image issues have hurt me and people I know
like seriously the world is full of times and places that are hard and scary, people should at least fill comfortable in your own skin
Mirrors from darkness
‘My favorite time is at night
When all the windows turn into mirrors’
They told me it was too short
A promising start
Was that prophetic?
For the poem has grown
I now love the night, always buzzed with ideas and desire
I flap my wings and hover in the blue light of my computer
Mirrors
Like most things, multi-meaning
I love to dance and see what I create on the canvas of both time and space
I also hate
I hate seeing my failures reflected back at me, engraved on my skin, building up inside of me
Funhouse window pains
Image distorted by the glass or the mind
We can’t see outside instead I am the only adventure at this quiet hour
'And yet you should regret more, all that has come out of your mouth than all you have put in it,' I say to myself. In truth I should leave regret behind, build a little tower of her stones and move on. For she is a load that only pains, not strengthens.
Practice Positive Self-Talk
Body image issues are hard, and sometimes just weird lol
me, in clothes: I'm so ugly, I hate how my body looks
me, naked: *dancing around* *posing* 🎶Who wants a twig when you can climb a whole TREE 🎵
*to the tune of “You’re the One that I Want” from Grease*
I got stretchmaaaarrrkks
They’re multiplying
And my faaaatttt’s
getting out of control-ol
but the beautttttyyyy/poweeeerrrr
I’m supppplyyyinnng
Still’s electrifying!!!
If you can only design clothes that only look good on really thin girls, then you’re not that good of a designer. Like literally a paper bag would practically look good on a conventional beauty.
Growth; More than Girth: Practice Being Positive 🌺
Tomorrow is my birthday, and since my last birthday I’ve gained at least 20 pounds - but hey I’ve also learned to dutch braid and I should be proud of that and that skill is perhaps more important than my weight as it allows me to help others!
