#anyway i see people call ashton fat and i about turn into the hulk

[daydadahlias]

Here’s the thing about people commenting on Ashton’s weight that bothers me –

Actual “strong men” often look like they are overweight, especially around the middle. I don’t think he’s overweight or even all that soft. There’s no way he can play the drums the way he does and not have a ton of muscle under there.

i dont really want to open myself up to this topic of conversation further but I will definitely agree that Ashton is not in any way overweight. and i especially get very bothered/triggered when i see people refer to him as fat because, like you said, he is most definitely made of muscle. not fat. i certainly think he looks soft because of how broad he is and he probably is soft to the touch for the most part but, under that is certainly a very FIRM strong layer of muscle from working out / playing drums. so, yes, people often misinterpret a strong man for an overweight man because they are so painfully used to the oversaturated bullshit images of "strong men" our media shows us that are all composed of steroid or starvation/dehydration-achieved six packs when, in reality, that look is not achieved by actual healthy strength.
