Same With Having A Big Butt/thighs. My Butt And Thighs Are Muscle From Doing Ten Years Of Ballet, But

Same with having a big butt/thighs. My butt and thighs are muscle from doing ten years of ballet, but I still get very self conscious about them, even though I know they’re just muscle

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how having big boobs rly fucks w/ your body image & makes you look/feel like you’re so much bigger than you actually are especially bc they make your weight & bmi higher

Bro you liked one of my posts from before my blog was a shifting account and I thought I had deleted it and it scared me 😭

Lmaooo yeah I get the same type of shock when people like my old posts

damn I’m so clumsy!

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

what is it with mothers of chronically ill children and magnesium

I have decided that this reality will be my fame dr

People are so wrongfully dismissive of KotLC's worldbuilding. For the themes it wants to convey to its intended audience, it's so brilliantly done.

It tells themes of choosing love, defying authority, finding a home, and dealing with guilt; it has detailed worldbuilding about things like interspecies relations, expected conformity, governmental structures, and magic systems. And this is all in a book intended for kids! There are treaty negotiations shown, where one species is represented with far more people than any other, but they're placed around a "round table of equality," so everyone has to act like it's equal when it isn't.

And this is in a book series intended for kids, but so many of us are older and still get something out of it because it's so well done!

Like, when I was ten, I wasn't thinking "This series has a really strong point to make about marriage equality and how what's believed to make an 'ideal' marriage is ruled so much by bias and eugenics!" I was going "wow, matchmaking is really bad..." and the deeper message was something I unlocked later. Every time I reflect on these books, there's more for me to come away with that applies to the times we're living in.

The world of KotLC is built and displayed so that you're presented with a "perfect world" that makes you deeply, deeply uncomfortable. You're shown people who believe their world is perfect through the lens of characters who know better than anyone else why it isn't. You're shown how the dominant view can be hurtful and wrong, and how young people are critical to changing things.

And yet people will openly say that the worldbuilding sucks? It blows my mind.
