alright so maybe this is stupid, but basically my family is always making fun of my cat for her weight, and i really hate it
i'm the fattest person in my family, and honestly, for the most part, i love my body. but it's hard a lot of the time and it took moving out of my house and having more autonomy and control over myself to get to that point.
my family has three cats, and one of them is more my cat than anyone else's. we found her at only a couple days old and i took care of her as a kitten. i love her. she's loud and bitchy and playful and soft and yeah pretty fat, at least compared to our other two cats.
i'm not a vet and i'm not a doctor, i'm not good at biology and i can't say i know all that much about health. this isn't really about that though i don't think, because when my family brings up her weight it's not in a way that's even trying to act concerned about her health. she's more active than either of the other cats and she has no trouble getting around and up places. if her health was an issue, i would do everything i could to help her along with my family. but the remarks that they make about her weight rarely, if ever, involve her actual health.
it's just like instead we can't talk about my cat at all without making her weight a joke. i'll say, hey, look at my cat. she's sitting on this soft blanket, isn't she adorable? and someone will say yeah, and she's also so fat. not as an endearment or even just a fact (because i know it's not bad to be called fat, it's literally just an adjective) but they laugh about it, because it's funny and she's different from the other cats. if she's eating, that's funny. because she's fat. if she ever ever misses a jump onto something high up, it's funny. she didn't make it because she's fat. never mind that, like we all know, all the other cats fall off things and miss their jumps too, it's funny because you can point it out with my cat and laugh at her because she's fat.
so maybe you start to put together why this is bothering me. the other thing that is significant in my house about my cat is that she's mine. her traits are loud, fat, and mine. she prefers me and i prefer her.
this is getting out of hand.
ok. the point is.
i always ask people not to make fun of her for being fat. it kind of hurts me, and when i ask them to stop, they laugh at me too, or even get mad at me. because why am i being so sensitive, it's a cat. my sibling actively gets mad and bothered when i tell them to stop. at this point i hardly even try to be polite. it makes me upset. and i've said that, and i've asked them to stop, and they don't, so i don't see why i'm obliged to be nice about it. but of course people keep doing it and i just keep getting upset and then i'm told off for being upset. so idk.
i know this is probably stupid because i have a talent for blowing things out of proportion, but also, it's just always been like this, and it really upsets me and i kind of wanted to get it out so, you know. here we are.

most controversial prequel opinions (or just prequel opinions in general)
agshsjdd ugh I'm very uncomfortable being über critical, because, like. i am being honest when i say i enjoyed watching it!! but!!! i just think it's like. over-all. Not All That as a show. it feels like a pretty standard cw show — mid everything, mostly coasting on attractive people and teenage nostalgia sgdgdjdkkdd IS THAT HARSH.
I'm not falling over myself for a new season or losing my entire mind over it. it's a fairly fun addition to canon, but i don't think it was necessary. or even. like. idk. enriching. I enjoyed the ritual of having something to watch every week, but again, it's not like it was The Good Place or something you know? and i think it's okay that it wasn't! i enjoy watching this kind of stuff where i can just turn my brain off! that's why i watched it!! and also it was nice seeing dean on screen. but again. i just don't think i could ever take it that seriously as a show. like I'll watch it if they extend it but i don't know man. it's just kind of okay?
i will say, tho. i personally do feel like if the show even feels like it has a heart it's because they got Jojo and nida on it. just having a dynamic that was fresh and not white people being white people was good for the setting! and their chemistry was nice! they made the show worth watching for me personally. wasn't a huge fan of the johnmary thing but like. who was really.
