ICONS

I love Jimmy Solidarity as a character so much because he's so determined and ambitious. Man who the universe fucks over at every possible moment but who still has never backed down from a fight or challenge in his life. I know Jimmy has a reputation for being a bit pathetic, but I need people to understand that literally none of that comes from any sort of cowardice on his end. For better or worse, Jimmy Solidarity does not know what it means to give up or sit back.

imma say it. “kung fu panda” did more for body positivity and saying that  you can be fat and still be healthy and liked than ANYTHING any beauty companies trying to get your money.

kfp also respects women more than any beauty company too.

also it had a positive relationship between an adopted child and his stepfather even after he found out he was adopted

Hey yknow how Viper was born without fangs, but instead of being rendered helpless as her family thought she’d be, she instead used her other skills to become the best warrior in her clan?

And how Tigress had severe, destructive anger issues when she was younger, but instead of being painted as a “problem child” she was instead taught her how to channel her emotions into something constructive?

And how Crane trained extra hard to impress a girl, and was by all rights the hero of his own story, but he still didn’t get her in the end? And how the girl isn’t shamed for it?

It’s almost as if you get more mileage out of treating your characters (and the people they resemble) with compassion than you do just shamelessly stamping them with your own misconceptions and hang ups.

The whole central ethos of the franchise is that there’s no such thing as being The Best™ - there’s just being the best version of yourself you can be, and honoring/channeling your own strengths is the wise and badass thing to do.

Man, when I was like 16 I got so sick of being made fun of for being the fat kid that I took an axe down inna woods, chopped down a tree, and started doing log-lifts all the time. I got strong as fuck, but I didn’t lose no weight. I actually got bigger.

Same thing happened when I got into fighting. I got even stronger, and I got *fast*, man, and nimble, like a cat. Still chubby.

Body-building culture is a bunch of crap, my dude. Functional muscle is not necessarily toned or lean. You can be swole as hell and still be heavy. And that’s cool.

Embrace your inner barbarian. And when fatphobic little gym twinks try to body shame you, you should DESTROY THEM with your MIGHTY AXE

Can comfirm, i am Quite Fat ™ but i still hit my punching bag hard enough last week make it touch the ceiling and broke a finger in the process

You know, I train with (martial arts) a bunch of dudes, and a few bodybuilders have showed up over the years. 

And every damn one of those huge shredded motherfuckers has the endurance of a fucking newborn puppy. Fifteen minutes into warmups and they’re panting for air like like they’re about to die. I’ve sparred them and every one of them telegraphs their moves about two weeks in advance, and are slower than my dead grandpa because their huge useless muscles get in the damn way. 

Now. I also work with a couple of guys who are not weightlifters. They do, however, do very physical jobs and are Big Dudes. Picture this sort of build. 

No abs to speak of, a bit of a tummy, and those motherfuckers can pick up one of the weightlifters and throw them. 

And they’re fast. Like, unfair fast. 

Bodybuilding culture is bullshit. Embrace your status as a giant barbarian and if anyone gives you crap throw them off a mountain. 

i love and support all strong, fat people

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

Adding onto this: characters who are so deeply repressed that they don't even realize they're not fine, or at the very least not supposed to be fine. Characters who do tell you about a situation they're in that should be bad, but instantly laugh it off saying they can handle it (spoiler: they can, in fact, not handle it). Characters who laugh with you and listen to all your woes and much later you learn that they were actually going through something at least equally bad at the time, but they wave it off and don't want to speak of it. Characters whose main coping mechanism seems to be "don't think about it" on endless loop.

Basically, the fictional embodiment of the "this is fine" dog.

********************

Hypno was getting ready for bed when he looked outside and noticed that the lights were on in Wels castle. He sighed, running a hand through his short blonde hair.

The knight was probably reading or working on some project and hadn't realized the time. Again.

It's not like Hypno was having the same issues. Totally not. He was just going to go bother his partner because he loves the reactions he gets out of him. He forgos his coat since he wont be outside long but he does equip his elytra and grabs a rocket.

Once he is on the roof of his house, Hypnotizd aims for the shining window and fires the rocket. He lands just inside of Wels' window, scaring the poor man and earning a foot and leg to his face.

"Seriously? Again with the leg and foot?"

"Well maybe if you had walked through the door like a normal person, you wouldn't have caught me without my leg! What do you want, heathen?"

Hypno steps into his friend's room and takes off his elytra. Wels reattached his leg and stood up straight to face the shorter blonde.

"It's late and you arent in bed yet. I came over to make sure you weren't working on a project."

"Im not. I was actually just getting ready for bed."

Hypno looked around the room in disbelief. Sure, the armor was placed on the armor stand, but there were books and potion ingredients covering the bed and desk, a half eaten sandwich that had fallen to the floor when Hypnotizd crashed in and the laundry basket was full of half folded clothes.

"Really? Cause you seem like you're spring cleaning in the middle of summer."

"Late start. I took a nap first."

Hypno hummed. Then proceeded to start clearing off the bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping you clean. Then im going to make sure my good buddy, oh pal of mine gets some well needed sleep."

The shorter man had cleared off the bed completely in record time and grabbed his partner and fell backwards onto the bed.

"Hypno, im busy!"

"It's late. Im not letting you go until you go to sleep."

Wels growls and wiggles. And when he does slide out of his partners grasp, he tries to make a run for it but Hypno is quicker and- perhaps a bit cruel- kicks his fleshy leg which causes the knight to faceplant.

Hypno helps him off the ground before picking him in a bridal carry, grinning smugly when Wels blushes and lays them both on the bed.

It's even cuter because Wels tries to look angry.

"Sorry man, but i know youve been awake for almost seventy-two hours and that isn't healthy."

"No other reason?" Wels questioned, taking off his leg properly, checking for damages although he knew there would be none.

Hypno could be a jerk but he knew when too far was too far.

Sometimes.

The taller man settled against Hypno before rolling over in his embrace to look at the him.

"No other reason at all, right?"

"N-no."

Heat crept up Hypno's neck and streched to the tip of his pointed ears. He tried to avoid looking in those lapis eyes but Wels chuckled, drawing his attention back.

"So we are totally just laying here, together. Because i need sleep and you wanted cuddles, right?"

"Right. Wait- shit."

"Thought so."

Hypno rolled his eyes playfully. "Fine fine you got me. I also would like to have cuddles, please."

"Oh i get a please? Well now i definitely can't say no."

"Shut up."

The pair giggle, readjusting themselves. Hypno was now laying on his back with Wels tight against his right side, mindful of his missing leg. The blonde-haired knight reaches over to grab one of Hypno's hands, pulling it over to examine it.

"Your marks are getting worse. Why?"

The marks in question were black spots with yellow swirls that covered both of the elves' hands and wrists. There was a history to them, something that even Welsknight didn't know despite having known Hypno for years.

He does remember a time when the shorter man did not have them. He and Wels had parted ways for a few months or perhaps years and when they met up again, his wrists were covered. Wels had initially assumed the worst but Hypno had shown him that there was nothing except for the yellow and black markings.

"It doesn't hurt so im not worried about it. Come on, let's get some sleep."

Wels sits up long enough to turn around and face his partner.

"Hypno-"

"Can we just cuddle? Please? It's late."

Wels sighs.

Both of them were too stubborn to admit to needing help and it was too late in the night anyways so Wels resettled himself against Hypno and pulled the blankets over them.

"Alright. Goodnight, Hypno."

"Goodnight, Wels."

Once you become a certain age, it is your responsibility to unlearn behaviors that hinder your growth as a person.

Man I cannot stress this enough. The “this is how I am, take it or leave it” attitude is an act of immaturity. We all have toxic traits that we need to work on and as an adult it’s our responsibility to recognize the damage that they can do to the ones we love. We all need to put in more effort in becoming better individuals.
