Sometimes I think about how She Ra actually designed one of it’s most powerful characters– the daughter of an immortal being and powerful sorcerer– tp be short and stockier like me and I just— get all emotional?

I very rarely see short, stockier characters like myself. Most of the time if they’re not stick thing they’re “taller” to balance it out, and if they’re short they’re just petite and skinny. 

Glimmer is powerful and brave and capable and finds love and… she has my general body type. I could cosplay her and look similar. I wouldn’t feel like the shorter fatter version of whatever Barbie shaped character I had dressed up as. 

I mean gosh, case and point just look at new Glimmer compared to the original design. 

Leggy, thin, tight waisted and busty supermodel. 

I’ve been self conscious about my body my entire life, largely due to the physical characteristics my Turner’s Syndrome (a chromosomal disorder) gives me: including short stature, broad shield- like chest, thick legs lack of curves/ hips, and a general broad, boxy figure without a lot of definition.  

Glimmer is depicted as beautiful and has so many (if not all) of these traits, and I actually like to head canon her as having Turner’s Syndrome like me. It gives me so much comfort. 

Anyways, God bless Noelle Stevenson for these designs, and reblog if you love the body representation in Netflix’s She Ra.

Jim stayed up memorizing all of his lines for Romeo & Juliet despite already juggling a double life as the Trollhunter because he knew it was important to Claire, while Claire stayed up reading Troll history and learning Trollish despite already being stressed from all of her academic and familial responsibilities because she knew it was important to Jim and wanted to be involved in that part of this life.

And I just think that’s very beautiful. We love an acts of service love language power couple.

I LOVE the new Hilda series on Netflix! (Premiered Sept. 21, 2018) It’s based on Luke Pearson’s Hildafolk graphic novel series and is a very, very faithful and warm-hearted adaptation. Very impressive! And I love the new stories and embellishments as well. So good and I can’t wait for season 2! Shown here is a breakfast I made a while ago inspired by Hilda. In the comics there are several scenes with cocoa and we learn that Hilda loves marshmallows in hers, so I made some thin homemade marshmallow, cut out a disc, and drew a woff on it with an edible food color marker. :)

Shouldn’t that include peppermint tea and cucumber sandwiches?
