Things about boobs that everyone should know

Because I just keep finding out people don't know these things!

Most boobs "sag."

Actually, on that note: very very few people have the stereotypically perfect breasts that are round and perky and don't touch your ribcage/belly. Here is an entire gallery of non-sexualized, perfectly normal breasts. Here is another one, but in one image. There's an incredible range of size and shape!

Also related: very few people fit those molded foam-cup bras. Because very few people have a boob that shape. "Then why are those kinds of bras everywhere??" Because they're cheap to make and they hide your nipples.

Your "armpit fat" is probably not armpit fat. It is probably your tail of spence, and you have lymph nodes there. Some people have a bigger or smaller tail of spence, and it has very little to do with how fat you are or how big your boobs are. (Some bras can press on it or pinch it uncomfortably, like balconettes.)

When you lie on your back, your boobs will go into your armpits. That is true of EVERYONE WITH BOOBS, with the exception of some implants. Boobs are squishy! This also means that like, lying on your side will cause them to flop over. If that's uncomfortable when you're trying to sleep, there is such a thing as "sleep bras."

Lots of people's boobs get bigger and/or painful before their period starts. Some people gain an entire cup size every month.

Whether or not you wear bras has no effect on "sagging." The one "study" on this that was written about everywhere extremely badly done. The one exception: If you do the kind of exercise that has you jumping around/jogging a lot, and you don't wear a supportive-enough bra, it's possible you can injure the cooper's ligaments. But also: that would hurt, a lot.

Bras also have no effect on whether you get breast cancer.

Everyone has one boob that's bigger than the other. It's just a matter of degree.

The size of your boobs has nothing to do with whether or not you've had sex???? I'm stunned that there are people that believe this, but I've heard multiple people say they had relatives who absolutely believed this--refused to buy teenagers the correct size bra because "only sluts wear D-cups," or insisted a thirteen-year-old was "fast" because of breast growth during puberty...good lord.

It's possible for AMAB people to breast-feed--they have the same mammary glands AFAB people do! Some hormonal issues can cause people (both AFAB and AMAB) who haven't given birth to lactate, but also there's a few cases where transgender women have been given the same hormones that AFAB people's bodies make during pregnancy/lactation, and voila! Breast milk!

(I very intentionally didn't go into bra sizing with this post, but yes, if you hate your bras, you are probably wearing the wrong size and/or style for you. That's a much more finicky topic though, so I'm just going to point out that the letter doesn't mean anything about boob size by itself, D isn't big, and Victoria's Secret's "fittings" are garbage. For more info, go to the subreddit for r/abrathatfits, or try their size calculator.)

Don’t forget, Sea Hawk is also apparently Asian. I also thought Frost might be Asian at first bc she kinda looks… maybe stereotypical isn’t the exact word, but just like what comes to mind when you think of a little Asian girl. Not to mention, she was originally designed as a white (Nordic coded?) teenager for this show before they decided to age her down into the little sister character. Never mind the fact the little sister character already existed in the old series with Glimmer and Allegra, and they could have done something with that, but I digress. I’ve also seen some people say Angella is Indian coded, because of the accent and her voice actress. Or maybe it’s because they think her gem is reminiscent of a bindi?

But yeah, idk about Perfuma, Entrapta, or Spinnerella. I think Perfuma could be latina because if the actress? But the character gives off the vibes of such a essential oils Karen that I associate with entitled white women, to the point I think she might just be a tanned white woman? Though I’ll admit, when I first saw her design I considered black and white biracial, and I considered Pacific Islander. So I have no idea. I’ve also seen some people interpret Entrapta as black. Though, I doubt it based on the hair alone. I like to think she’s latina, simply because I want her as my Latin rep, and not the literal cat. As for Spinnerella, I got nothing. Maybe white? All I know is that Huntara should have been black, and isn’t even coded as black. And I think that’s dumb, because I would have loved buff, queer, gets-a-character-arc Grace Jones in this show, since we didn’t get to have it in the old one.

Okay, hold on. I had no idea Sea Hawk was apparently half-Asian. I had to look this up. It was "confirmed" (as in, on Twitter) by the lead character designer for SPOP, who also "confirmed" Scorpia as half-Asian as well. However, I'm pretty sure Frosta is supposed to be Inuk like Katara, but I don't think that was ever confirmed. I could be wrong. I'm not even sure where her kingdom is located, for that matter. The worldbuilding in SPOP sucks so badly I barely remember how the kingdoms were like, save for Perfuma's and maybe Mermista's.

Idk, man. I honestly don't think that much about most characters' ethnicities, because the SPOP crew clearly didn't put a lot of thought into it. I mean, the literal cat teenager who licks herself, who walks on fours, who bites and claws people, who hisses and hates water, and who's sexualized on top of it all, is supposed to be Latina. Or Iranian or Middle Eastern, because apparently OG Catra came from "Purrsia", which is like... the Persian Empire? And fans really want to apply that to the reboot, too. Except Catra's origins were never brought up in SPOP, only that Catra was found abandoned in a cardboard box according to Nate. Regardless, neither theories are great because both Latinas and Iranian women (and Middle Eastern women in general) are not treated like people. They're sexualized and are victims of colonization. I've heard people headcanon Catra as Indigenous, too. Which is even worse considering she got her hair cut against her will.

As for the other characters... I just don't care, lmao. I will agree that Huntara should've been black, too. But since the SPOP crew didn't care about developing their kingdoms and their origins, then I don't think that hard. I mainly mention and dissect "Latina" Catra because the fandom won't shut up about her. Idk about Entrapta's ethnicity, but if Latina Entrapta makes you happy, go for it. Especially because Latin America is pretty diverse, so there are a lot of possibilities.

I don't agree with the term Karen, though. I get what you mean, that Perfuma is annoying and ableist and treats other people like garbage, but sadly that's another term that actual misogynists use against any women who get angry. But I know that's not your intention, I get where you come from.

You know how in genshin the "gift mails" are stored separately? Headcanon that Lumine keeps all of these birthday mails with her in a separate box in the serenitea pot and takes them out to re-read every so often.

Black trans people are just getting murdered left and right in the US, it’s so fucking scary. When it’s Black trans women, it’s “just another murder” to some of y’all. When it’s Black nonbinary people, y’all will usually misgender them before going, again “it’s just another murder”. When it’s Black trans men, you think it’s an anomaly for a second and then go “it’s just another murder.”

Black trans people crowd-fund on here and get such absurd amounts of hate, just for asking for help and can’t get anything in comparison to a lot of white people who crowdfund on here. It’s almost like y’all don’t care about Black trans people at all. Which is almost more horrifying than the amount of us dying in mass from these murders. We’re fucking people. 

You could fund all our crowdfunds and yeah, that’s great, do that, but it’s not gonna replace us if we’re murdered. Black trans people in the US are some of the most likely to be hate crimed and it’s not just police brutality, it’s the fact we don’t have the same support, we’re fighting anti-Blackness on top of transphobia, we’re fighting some of you. It’s just. Some of y’all won’t even pretend to give a fuck about us once we’re dead. That’s unfathomably disgusting to me. There is no justice for dead people but y’all keep pretending you can dish it out by reblogging a post or two.

Support the funeral crowdfunds, sure, but that doesn’t mean jackshit if you don’t support us while we’re alive too. Why can’t you just support us while we’re alive. 

#just read about mar'quis jackson and- #i think i have a friend who knew mar'quis #like #they not even going to arrest anyone #i'm glad their crowdfunding went well but also #that's not gonna replace mar'quis #it doesn't replace any of us lost to this violence #it's just. #im tired. #anti-Blackness #racism #transphobia #hate crimes #transmisogyny #i'm sorry #i know this is heavy #i'm just. #i don't want this for us #i want better for us #but we can't HAVE THAT if y'all don't work with us #im not begging for any of y'alls support #but still. #why tf can't you just support us. #not some idea of us #not our funerals #not our occasional crowdfund #support US #chaos is speaking #exorsexism? isn't that the word for like bigotry against nonbinary ppl specifically? #i think it is

"these old men" so we keep doing this? we keep calling people with regular ages old? we keep repeating how no one in their 30s is old, but then the second someone turns 40 or, god forbid, 50... they suddenly are? like I know it's all just supposed to be fun and jokes but I'm also getting kind of really tired of constantly seeing it over and over

#ok to reblog btw #i'm just. #pushing the age up by 10 or 20 years doesn't help anyone #rambles '23 #fuck it i'm tagging fandoms. #good omens #our flag means death

Yo fucking shout-out to my DAD

I fucking love him so much. He's been going through a lot with my mother and he's had a rough patch in general with my family. Yet he's still going strong. He started therapy. I'm really happy for him. He takes care of me the best he can. He helps to try and calm me down and understand my anxiety. He's always been there to help me. Recently I've been absolutely struggling with being at big social event and just general anxiety disorder and sickness. He holds my hand and walks me away. He lets me cry on him. He's one of my inspirations. I really hope the best for him fr

#Tw vent #Kinda #I'm just. #I was already having a horrible morning waking up bc I have all these sicknesses and yucky #And I ended up having an anxiety attack in the car #And he came into the kitchen and talked to me #This is a somewhat regular occurrence too #This happens like twice a months #Yet he's always there for me

mr. sunshine is an absolutely spectacular and beautifully poetic show that burned so brightly to me—that i know for a fact i will never put myself through the pain of watching ever again.

#unless i do decide my like of pain and suffering overrides my emotional self-preservation #in which case—of course—i will eat all my words on this matter. #but like😭really #i feel like my heart has been clawed out and viciously mauled #in the most exquisite way #this won't be a drama that fades fast from memory #that's for sure. #and honestly #what a fascinating and heart-wrenching point in history #what an incredible cast of characters #the direction... the costume and set design #the sound and music #(the motifs of greensleeves & the use of red are two things that particularly stood out) #i'm just. #i'm in awe as much as i'm in mourning #mr. sunshine #mr sunshine #performative journaling #kdramas #korean dramas

I cannot wrap all of my thoughts into coherency but holy FUCK the teen wolf movie was so bad 😂

I'm just - I'm literally in awe. Of how horrible the decisions in this thing were made. The absolute lack of consistency (to be fair, a carryover from the show, but made much, much worse). I won't post spoilers but goddamn.

I don't write a lot of "fully" canon compliant works anyway but I definitely...won't be using or considering any part of this. I think I'm going to pretend I didn't see it. My god.

#teen wolf #teen wolf movie #no spoilers though #I'm just. #speechless.

In case no one's told you in awhile... you are such a joy to be around even if it's virtually, you contribute so much to this hellsite, your writing is gorgeous and thoughtful, you bring happiness to the dash, and I'm glad you're here. Really, really glad. You deserve good things.

Thank you so, so very dearly, anon. <3 I suppose it, likely, has been fairly transparent as of late — but I've struggled a lot with this, so to have received this at such a time means just. I say it a lot, maybe too much, but it means to me more than you may ever know. Thank you for having the kindest heart, and for extending some of that kindness to me, and I hope, hope, hope that same amount of gifted back to you in infinite quantities!

From the moment you've sent this, I've kept it very close to my chest, and I firmly plan on doing the same for, maybe, ever. Even if I don't have a name to attach to your kindness, I hope my wishes will reach you regardless!

Thank you, seriously - and for sticking around with me, in spite of my absences and quiet moments. Thank you! ♥

#Thank you!! Again! I wish there was a word grander than that; something that more accurately represents my regards #I'm just. #It's just. #[explosion] #THANK YOU and thank you again for caring for me in spite of this and that. :'] #The same goes to you! Please know that you're cared for; and that you're adored too. Never forget that. #save.
