#about the one fat cat

[egg-emperor]

I often see people saying there should be more fat character acceptance and appreciation but also so commonly see some of those same people only expressing that by drawing characters that aren't fat as fat but then not giving any of the actual official fat characters such as Eggman and Big any love at all in comparison. sad :(

like they've been very commonly hated, clowned on, or overlooked for being fat so maybe embracing and appreciating them for being official fat characters is a start if you wanna spread that message Idk. they're perfect examples that fat characters can be cool, lovable, strong, full fledged characters and not just punchlines and more

I know it's not everyone but sometimes I feel like the sentiment only applies to characters they find attractive/aesthetically appealing whatever for some, which kinda goes against the messaging, since you have such specific terms for it to be something you're interested in depicting. like only when you think they're cool/attractive enough

#I'm not saying this about the op of a post I just saw on my dash. I'm saying it at the notes I saw on it #as I was also reminded of a few other people I've encountered that consistently do this lol #like okay the popular attractive character is depicted as fat cool. but Eggman and Big are also right there #not saying we can't have both but cmooon now #I'm only seeing one and it's not the latter #dr eggman #eggman #dr robotnik #dr. eggman #big the cat #rant

there are so many reasons fictional characters could and should be fat but they're drawn skinny as a rail for no other reason than people think everyone should be skinny to be loveable.

example: guy who drinks a lot of alcohol, like a whole 6 pack of beer every day, is somehow drawn thin as a rail. that guy should have a beer gut and be as wide as a house. why are you drawing him thin

example: woman who is body positive (especially about fat bodies) and is kinky and loves sex AND loves eating is somehow skinny as a rail despite there being an entire kink fixated on eating a ton of food and another kink around appreciating fat bodies. same woman was raised in an orphanage and is trans, likely had to starve herself (which a prior history of starvation can lead to weight gain) to fit the ideal mold of what a trans person "should" be to be able to transition in the first place but is now leaning into hedonism and "if you don't like me the way i am then fuck you" attitudes. why are you drawing her thin

example: person with impulse control issues who even has a quote about how they eat even when they're full. their parents are also notably fat. somehow despite obvious signs of binge eating disorder and having fat people genes is the same size as most of the average characters of their birth assignment.

EDIT: THOUGHT OF ANOTHER EXAMPLE

example: this guy doesn't do much physical activity given that he's the token non superpowered guy in a group of superpowered people, mostly uses his brain as his "superpower" (he's just really smart lmao) and has a diet consisting of instant ramen and candy. somehow is one of the thinnest characters there.

example: this guy can shapeshift into a huge tiger the size of a 6 foot tall human basically, which would logically require a lot of body fat and calories to sustain without pain, EXTREME amounts of stretch marks, or some sort of chronic fatigue. is even joked about in the manga about having "love handles". eats tons of food because of his history with starvation (another factor in weight gain and fatness is previously being starved as i stated in the second example). SOMEHOW is, according to his stated height and weight, UNDERWEIGHT.

like. do you SEE the problems i'm talking about

#first character i'm talking about is that cat boy from hazbin (which thankfully i'm never gonna watch) #second character is poison from street fighter #third character is dan hibiki from street fighter #predictably i think a lot of characters from street fighter should realistically be fat. HELL KEN SHOULD BE FAT given that he canonically #gained a TON of weight from sfiv to sfv only in TWO YEARS that's literally a sign of numerous hormonal disorders or binge eating disorder #or like. being put on psychiatric medications but no way ken was put on a psychiatric medication. no way #ken would NOT be on a psychiatric medication in sf6 but he would be put on one after the events of it lmao #fatphobia for ts #fat characters #the last two edited examples are ranpo edogawa and atsushi nakajima from bungo stray dogs #and the atsushi example one especially makes me mad because i like him a lot and heavily relate to him #yet he's drawn skinny constantly only because everyone thinks bishonen can only be skinny lmao :) very bitter about that #(and atsushi is literally only 18 too like. chill out. he's barely a grown adult. why are you sexualizing him in the first place) #but anyway when you're fat and have been a fat admirer since childhood practically you NOTICE how few characters are fat #despite how LOGICALLY...they SHOULD be fat due to their circumstances

[blimbo-buddy]

I can't be the only one who's weirded out by the clan's thoughts on fat cats, right?

#blimbo rambles #the fact that the clans see becoming ''lazy and fat'' as a kittypet as the worst fate that can be bestowed upon another cat is just... man. #like I can't be the only one put off by it right? #the fatphobia in dotc is where it's shown the worst though goddamn I'm still mad about that

[gynecologistmsfrizzle]

saw a vaguely positive recommendation of Some Desperate Glory by emily tesh from a couple of lesbians best known to me for objectifying fictional men on twitter so i went out and bought it (because i am not financially responsible and i trust the taste of these lesbians) and then i read the entire thing in two days and frankly i think i might not be able to carry on living after this. it was. well it was really good. like it was just. well. it was really good.

#like do you ever read a book and immediately go . i NEED to get high with an english major and a bisexual bioethicist RIGHT now #so we can have a DISCUSSION . about this book. #it's like. okay when i read catch 22 i NEEDED to lie on the floor of a high school hallway and stare into the fluorescent bulbs afterwards #(didn't get to. but it was what i NEEDED.) #when i finished little brother i needed to go wander around the basement of a home hardware. #and when i finished regeneration i needed to sit quietly and hold it in my hands like it was an EXTREMELY fragile bit of lead crystal #and when i finished enders game i needed to like. go write a novel that i had yet to conceptualize. again i didnt do this. but i needed to. #when i finished a marvellous light i needed to hug my kitty cat gently! #and now having finished this i need to smoke a fat blunt with an english major and a bioethicist. #to be clear i know those examples don't make sense and are a frankly hilarious bunch of books to have chosen. #but . Well. They were the ones i thought of. #it's just like!!!!! okay!!! so a computer cannot be held accountable and must therefore never make a management decision!!!!!! #so what does a computer that is smart enough to KNOW THAT #do when it is presented with a management decision???? HUH? #WHAT DOES IT DO??????????? #there's so much good SHIT in that book! there's so much!! #it's like that. You get it. #like it's a book about omnipotent AI but the AI is neither a hero nor a villain. it's not a character at all. #even when it IS personified that personification is done with a lot of complexity #and a REALLY gorgeous distinction between literal personification -- creating a person to serve as an interface -- #and the assignment of a person to serve as an agent -- #and even that latter category isn't treated simply. because of course an AI cannot assign a person to serve its will. #because it doesn't have a will. #OR DOES IT. etc. this question we will of course debate eternally. this is how they get you. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA. #AND THE AI STUFF LITERALLY ISN'T EVEN THE CENTRAL QUESTION OF THE PLOT!!!!!!!! #like it IS a book about AI but it's. actually not really. #the question is not 'does AI exist' or 'is AI right or wrong' #but rather 'what do the possibilities presented by AI force us to confront about the nature of ourselves and our desires?' #and the plot isn't about the AI. it's about that nature of ourselves. #it's about cults! it's about misogyny! it's about rape culture! it's about eugenics! it's about the creeping realization

Many a dream of things that legitimately makes me down. Man . Why'd my fifth grade teacher be mean to me I haven't seen her in like 8 years.

#i have yet to recover from my innate desire to be nothing but a perfect pleaser to everyone i meet #as it seems. but oh boy 4 am and a fat ass fucking cat shoving her ass in my face #literally in dream told her about my cousin and she just ??????????????? girl I'm sharing literally one of my deepest traumas rn #and you're shitting all over me. thanks i think #okay enough of me rambling sounding like I'm venting. i promise I'm not WBEHJDMAHSHAADUJS #not art

[heartevent]

yo i feel like girl with the dogs has to be like crazy fatphobic or something cus sometimes her insults towards obese animals go much much further than they should be going

#just incase someone gets mad at me im gonna preface this: a responsible pet owner should always take strides to improve their pets health #extra pounds on an animal can cause them a plethora of different issues #but the way she talks about fat animals is INSANE ive never heard anyone be able to come up with that many fat insults!!! #and on one video of a fat cat she literally showed her weight and it was ONE HUNDRED POUNDS #she doesnt insult any of the regular sized animals nearly with the same ferocity as fat animals #even if those animals are acting up more #i feel like the insults she comes up with are only something someone who's brain has been rotted with proana poison

A sketchy watercolor doodle of the cats of all time. Moth is so happy and Leaf loves seeing her happy. Specifically drew this with “Comfort Me” by Sparklehorse on loop very good song esp in the idea of them.

#oh in this moth is the one who helps raise the three. another mother for them #Leafpool looks a little funny and that’s bc I drew her with alopecia. and as a plus sized girlie #I just love her being fat it’s comforting it #the alopeica was a idea that came after I started learning about it whole doom scrolling bc my own cat Iris is just thinning hair for some #reason? she doesn’t act depressed and doesn’t have diabetes parasites or a skin condition so idk what’s with her #but the idea of Leaf losing hair from stress just kind stuck #she’s also a big cat in general. she always tries to make herself seem smaller but that isn’t who she is #she’s large with patchy fur and scratches. and she learns to love herself for it #may be a bit of projecting there ahem #Leafpool #Mothwing #Mothwing WC #wc mothwing #night knacks #mothpool #mothleaf #leafmoth #warrior cats #WC #warrior cats art

Bought the memorial plush for Cassy. It's gonna be here on Thursday

It looks pretty similar to Sammy's in style, just with a different pose. I'll see how they look when placed together.

#speculation nation #animal death ment/ #fuck dude literally just looking at his Name made me cry again #typing out Cassy made me confront that yes. this is about my boy Cassy. my sweet baby boy who wanted to be a fat cat so bad #and swung his tail as he walked when he was happy. to which i would always comment 'that shit Swangin!' #and who would stuff his entire nose in tally's ass to sniff it. to which i would remark 'oh he's Snuffin!' #and who would always use the most garbled meows when begging for food. so he was my Garble Boy. #i already miss his obnoxious yelling. the way it sounded like a Mraaaaa. the way he would sometimes draw them out super long #i wish id taken videos of it. i dont think i have any. because i didnt think id Need to look back on them like this. #he wasnt even 2 years old yet... i didnt think id have to worry about this for at Least another 5 years... #sometimes life is really unfair. he deserved to live a long and happy life. i wish i couldve given it to him. #negative/ #sorry for posting so much about this. it was just super sudden and im kinda wrecked by it lol #this time yesterday i knew something was wrong but i Never thought he'd actually die. he was so young... #im just glad i got him to purr in the end. made him happy one last time at least.

First Sketch of Reworked Lake Territory

(If anyone who's really good with maps wants to chime in, please feel free! It would be appreciated!)

FIRST CRACK at a Lake Territory map that would allow for more conflict and shifting borders. The idea here is to keep the lake as a central landmark while reducing how badly it gets in the way of border conflicts.

Notes and information below the cut!

The Lake Itself

-The lake is no longer circular, it’s big but it’s irregular.

-Most of the lake’s inflow comes from the RiverClan river (this water connects to the ocean to allow for salmon runs, and connects to the Tribe’s mountain further downstream)

-The outlet rivers are highly prone to changing, and the ‘basins‘ are often fought over between RiverClan (fishers) and ShadowClan (froggers). WindClan is a bit less concerned about their connected basin.

-The ‘river’ between WindClan and ThunderClan is dry for most of the year, exposing TONS of tunnels and ancient dens. This gorge connects to the Moonpool. (Note: In the next draft, the Moonpool will be lower than the gorge, not higher)

There’s also a little bit of EVERY neighbor’s preferred hunting ground in each territory. There’s sparse forest in WindClan, there’s pine cover in RiverClan, there’s river in ShadowClan... that’s on purpose so Clans have something to covet.

ThunderClan

-Camp is now nestled into a sheer rockface, a quarry dug into the mouth of a cave. There are tunnels that go deeper, but they’re blocked off. What built those? ThunderClan assumes it was badgers (psst! it wasn’t!)

-The ancient tree is REALLY old. It’s a mature oak at least 150 years of age, probably more like 200.

-In ancient times, this area had the most civilization. There are a lot of artifacts and things to uncover.

(Note: The next draft will add more landmarks, including stone ruins.)

ShadowClan

-I tried to make their river still have that REALLY deep bend in it. I like to think someday, it will change course, create an oxbow lake, and cause a flash flood in their camp lmao

-They now have marshland! They don’t have to abandon being marsh hunters!! Wetlands are a very underappreciated biome!!!

-With the pine coverage though they can now be very generalist hunters.

(Note: Next draft will also add more landmarks, including a lot of fallen trees, ponds, and stone coverage.)

RiverClan

-Actually now has the biggest territory! The borders shift often and they’re selective about what they want to defend, and when they do it. Most attacks are launched in newleaf when the rivers swell.

-Well-defended by how their territory isn’t very useful between the rivers, besides the patch of pine near ShadowClan.

-Also has the most twoleg encroachment.

-The Lake river is larger than the Forest river, more dangerous, and with more sandy shoreline.

(Note: The next draft will add a lot more human settlement including the boat lodge and a dock, and twolegplace towards the North, close to ShadowClan. I also want to try to fit in a gorge or ditch if possible.)

WindClan

-The simplest, really. Heather and hills.

-There’s actually a ton of tunnels under it, which sometimes open up into sinkholes.

-LOTS of patches of specific wildflowers all over the place, but only a few specific healing herbs. Those healing herbs ARE quite important though.

(Note: Next draft will add the Barn of course, plus some isolated trees and a couple of caves.)

I left SkyClan out for now, just to keep things simple. I will show how they fit in when we get there, though!

If your a dog owner who brags about how your dog would kill a cat in an instant, maybe go fucking off yourself and give the dog to someone who can actually handle it.

#we had someone move in next to us with his dog #and we have a few outside cats (not really our cats or else they would be inside. but we feed them and pet them every day) and his dog got- #out and killed one of the cats. her name was pepper. and i was fucking FUMING #like Pepper was a fat elderly cat. she was sitting on HER proch where she sits everyday and has for years. and here comes this ja koff. #she had no where to go. she couldnt run anymore becuase her age. and he just. let the dog get her. breaks my heart. #like im fr crying thinking about how scared she must have been... #but like. please handle your animals and dont fucking let them treat someone elses pet like a chew toy #also no hate to the dog its not like he could help being a dog. not his fault his owner lets him do this shit #animal death #tw animal death #vent?

When you realize Monsters Inc is basically a metaphor for the fossil fuel industry refusing to give up control of the status quo because of greed, even as the world turns to shit

#am i the only one who noticed this?? #it's not even subtle: they talk about a 'scream shortage' and an 'energy crisis' and waternoose is like THE fossil fuel fat cat character #and they talk about 'clean dependable energy' during that tv commercial #it's been so long since i saw this movie and it just slapped me across the face lol maybe i'm overreacting but omg #monsters inc #global warming #pixar #climate change

all animals look silly and pathetic when wet but cats are at the top of the scale

#once one of my childhood cats (saffron) fell completely into a sink full of water #luckily it wasn’t hot or full of soapy chemicals or anything just water #but he looked so small and sad when he was all wet fjfnfkf #and saffron was. A Big Cat. he was very long and large. probably a lil overweight when i think about it now #but when he was all wet he looked like. so tiny and pathetic. fat bastard (sad edition) #dove talks #i miss saffron…….. big orange fool…….. #one of my mom’s friends took him and another cat from us when we couldn’t have 3 cats anymore #(my sister’s asthma was way too bad + my mom was pregnant) #i hope those two are still together they were very gay and attached to eachother. #saffron was mischief’s (my family’s cat) littermate and we adopted them the same day. siblings :) #also apparently one of my FIRST cats is still alive as of a few months ago!!!! scratchy my beloved……. #she’s like. 15+ by now? old………… #she was our first family pet that i got to have a say in #she’s a pretty grey tabby with green eyes and she was very silly. she HATED blinds with a passion #we also had one of her littermates #his name was max and he liked to chew on people’s hair. we do not know why he did this. #he was super attached to my mom and didn’t like my dad lmao #which is the opposite of mischief who thinks my dad is Her Husband #anyway that’s it for cat posts. time to sleep #snzzzzzz
