  • It/They/She

[ Hat | ΘΔ | Nonbinary in a fun gendercomplicated way | Aroace | Plural ] Hey hi it's ✏️Hat, host of the Firebird system! Artist of big round anthros (to an often kinky degree, so 18+ on here please!) and head fulla stories related to them beasts! If we're pals on tumblr come say hi! Happily taken by @sepialkali <3 (Posts may also be made by 🎸Riley (They/It), 🦾Violette (She/Her), or 📔Jack (He/Any)!)

Please..... please say something about fat characters that isn't "huggable" or something along those lines... listen, I love love those softer aspects of being fat- hell, I love giving hugs! ...but it really feels like such a dang neutral statement at this point. Like it feels like half the folks that say it are either afraid of saying anything positive about fat folks, or they've just had the idea that thats all we're good for nailed into their head for so long it feels like the dang default.

Just... call a fat character pretty, or cute, or handsome or beautiful or whatever else, I'm tired of huggable. ESPECIALLY cause while I'm a little more open to hugging folks I'm not as familiar with, Hattie's got a big ol' problem with physical contact when it comes to folks they don't know touching 'em or talking about touching their characters. Just... please, actually compliment a fat character rather than tip toeing around the idea that a fat person might actually be worthy of praise for once...

On one hand: a kinda memey compliment, on the other: yeah, it can get old real fast.

Saying the same thing over and over can also start to feel disingenuous and kinda pejorative over time.

Like, yeah, i get it, these characters fit that type, sure, but is that all ya got to say? just label this unique and interesting new thing, that has so many more attributes as just Archetype n#7687? its poison to creativity.

i know folks dont do it out of malice (usually just following the meme) but come on, the dictionary is right there, one url away, i bet you can find something more interesting to say.
