Yang Xiao Long doesn’t need washboard abs and drawing them on women furthers an unhealthy view on what a healthy body looks like.

Seriously. You know those “washboard abs” you see on bodybuilders and in some movies? It’s brought about by dehydration. Bodybuilders and actors will have to go for a day with minimal (if any) fluids to bring about that “look” and it takes a toll on their bodies. Real muscular men tend to be solidly built and may even look a tad chubby compared to the “washboard ab” look… but they’re able to do far far more with their strength and endurance. 

Yes, I understand the rivalry some fans have between Yang and Sun, and giving her “washboard abs” is a part of this fanart rivalry between the characters… but Sun shouldn’t have washboard abs, and neither should Yang. Let them look natural and healthy.

This has been my unpopular opinion. You may now return to the regularly scheduled opinions and commentary….

Okay, so we all know Gaara is quite slender, right? BUT I actually headcanon that he has quite broad and muscular shoulders (at least compared to the rest of his body) because there's No Way he could have spent all these years hauling around that massive gourd without sturdy shoulders. In this essay, I will-

I just wanna say thank you to whoever saw this

And turned it into this

as a retrospective and as a masculine woman who’s been into weightlifting since childhood - it’s so cool to see a show like arcane that’s so wildly popular have a female protagonist with a muscular build that isn’t presented as “hey look at this freak”

Can we maybe get some Tsunade muscle appreciation? That lady is a brick house!

She appreciates your appreciation ✨

Can I just say: Arcane giving us bigger girls, girls that are allowed to be muscular without being sexualized, girls who have big thighs and strong bodies that actually represent what strong bodies can look like, has been so inspiring and impactful to me.

I just... I love it.
