#tw: eating disorders

[foxydivaxx]

Was reading through Taz’s interview with Nuit Magazine today and was shocked by what I read. He had anorexia and bulimia growing up and yet he not only survived that shit but he ended up playing Sanji. If that is not inspiring, I do not know what else is. He also mentioned how Sanji’s backstory in some ways mirrors his due to leaving home at the age of 15 and having to learn to fend for himself at that age and also a lot of us at some point will have traumatic situations they will want to run away from

Body Positivity:

TW: body shaming, fatphobia, skinnyphobia, eating disorders, and the like.

I'm so fucking angry and triggered right now, and I need to vent. I was at what was supposed to be a fun family event, and because I didn't want to completely blow up, I stepped outside. But I am SO PISSED that I need to get this out. While trauma dumping on a toxic website is probably not the best idea, I literally have to vent, or I'm going to explode, and I REALLY HOPE someone will read this and learn something.

I think the body positivity movement has been great—and I wish we had something like it when I was growing up because, trust, it was non-existent. But, like many things, it's great on the surface, but a certain segment has morphed it into something that is as destructive and hateful as the behaviors/actions that led to the need for such a movement.

Some background, so you understand my perspective. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. I've been everything from a size 6 to a size 22. I'm very tall, and when I was at my thinnest (mostly because I was starving myself), people came up to me constantly to tell me how amazing I looked. I'm talking friends, family, co-workers, people at the club, and strangers on the street. I was literally dangerously underweight. My family doctor, who had treated me most of my life, was begging me to get help.

I wound up getting help for what turned out to be an eating disorder and moved past that as much as I could. Since that time, my weight has fluctuated from average, to "a few extra pounds", to very overweight. While I am usually OK with myself and try to be positive about my body, it can be hard. I don't like the way I look right now, and I’m ashamed to say that because I don’t feel that way about others. Beauty is not a number or a size, and I know that, but I am my own harshest critic. It doesn’t help to have the voices of many people, people who were supposed to love me, in my head constantly at these times.

“Do you think you should wear that?”

“Oh, that dress is so becoming on you!” (Meaning: it hides some of your fat!)

Or my favorite, coming home in an outfit that I felt so good about that I thought I looked adorable in, just to have my mother (and later my husband) say something like:

"Perhaps you should retire that until you lose some weight." or "You actually went out in that?"

(PS - I am divorced and barely speak to my mother)... I'm doing so much better, but I know I'll never be 100% comfortable, and, as with most things, the voices seep in when I'm at my lowest. So I GET IT. I get it big time.

But - on to today.

We have a wedding taking place later this week, so the family has descended like the buzzing locusts they are. The ten women in the bridal party, of all shapes and sizes, are at my house for a get-together, and they began complaining about how ugly the dresses are. (They really aren't the nicest dresses.)

The eight anti-dressers were commiserating when one, we'll call her Obnoixous Bridesmaid (OB), loudly announced that another bridesmaid had to shut up and leave the conversation because she's thin (we'll call her Thin Bridesmaid—TB), and therefore has no business being there. I should point out that TB's contribution to the conversation was the dresses were cheaply made and "is so damn shiny" and, for the record, OB is not thin but not overweight.

So another bridesmaid, who is extremely close with TB, jumped in to defend OB, going on and on about how much she "hates" TB for complaining when "everything" looks good on her. TB looked like she was going to burst into tears but stayed silent. It morphed into four grown-ass women bullying TB, so I stepped in and told them all to shut the fuck up. Minutes later, TB left the room, and I found her in the bathroom in tears, saying she wanted to go home and skip the rest of the events - up to and including the wedding.

I went back to the room where the 4 were still mocking TB, and I told them I was appalled by their behavior and they could shut the fuck up and apologize, or they could leave my house. I was told I should understand because I'm a "big girl," too, and therefore should be on "their" side.

Are we fucking kidding me here?

I should point out that 3 of the 4 asshole bridesmaids are well aware that TB has dealt with a serious eating disorder that stems from being body shamed by grown-ass men in her family when she was a mere child. She's dealt with outright abuse and trauma, and they know how bad it's been. She doesn't walk around mocking other's bodies or bragging about how "good" she looks; in fact, she struggles to feel positive about her looks at all.

Body positivity should be about everyone loving their body, no matter its shape and size, and never subjecting ANYONE else to shame because of theirs. When the fuck did it became "fat chicks have to stick together and fuck them skinny bitches."

I'm so on fire I had to step away before I ended up on the evening news. On a micro-level, I'm disgusted with these people, and this has put a total damper on the wedding events this week.

But on a macro level, I have seen this time and time again. Yeah, our society is fucking horrible when it comes to how it treats fat people, especially fat women, and that should change. But it's as fucking wrong to be skinnyphobic as it is to be fatphobic. Perhaps, ESPECIALLY AS FUCKING WOMEN, we should be uplifting and supportive of one another. PERIOD. Don't we see that the obsession to be thin and eating disorders stem from the same fucking toxic place that shames fat people? That's where it is BORN.

I'm so sick of seeing this trend in everything. Every movement I'm involved with is dealing with this... YES, be proud of YOU, ESPECIALLY if you're in a marginalized or maligned group. YES! DO IT! I've got your back in every way! But don't fucking turn it into an us vs. them... even with people you supposedly love! Don't become the fucking monster you profess to hate.

Is asking for human decency really too much? I'm literally shaking.

We really, really have to do better than this.

Eugenia Cooney has never told people that they should look like her. She said they should feel comfortable in their own bodies. She said people should not try to look like her. If a kid looks at Eugenia as thinspiration, the eating disorder was already there. She didn't cause anything because she tells her audience that people should not try to look like her but learn to be comfortable in their own bodies. That is the exact opposite of promoting anorexia.

Eugenia saying "this is just how my body is" is not promoting an eating disorder. She's stating a fact. She has a condition that is visible. She has a condition that makes her body look a certain way. Her stating that does not make it promotion.

If you want to criticize Eugenia Cooney, criticize her with the correct information not whatever y'all make up in your head to justify your harassment.

WOO HOO!! The long-awaited Paul POV!!

Ok so, I absolutely loved it! The progression of Paul's feelings towards Feyd feel so natural and are so well done, I especially loved how Paul's intellectualizing of Feyd as a puzzle both helped their relationship progress and also allowed him to cope with the trauma. And of course, no writing from Paul Atreides perspective would be complete without him being a total mommas boy lol. His relationship with his mother is genuinely heartwarming. Every time they would interact it was so clear how well they BOTH understood each other, the scene where Paul talks about his confusing sexual feelings towards Feyd and she tells him he has nothing to be ashamed of was so well done and emotionally destroying!!! I love their relationship sm <33.

also, THE DREAM SEQUENCES!!! I had ALOT of thoughts about those, especially the first two and last one. I took those to be showing how Pauls future changes as a result of his relationship with Feyd. While the first one showed his past, the second and last dream sequence showed how Pauls future has changed from the one we know and love from the movies/book to the one where he has a family with Feyd. Also, yay Duncan is alive!! and so is Jamis!!!(speaking of the Fremen, do you think you'll ever deal with how their fate has changed with Paul being presumably out of the picture?). I'm also very much in anticipation of the scene where Paul can't move, which I assume was either him giving birth, or the Bene Gesserit coming to retrieve their Kwisatz Haderach which is an interpretation I'm fonder of. The one that hurt the most was the Feyd one, obviously. I felt so bad for poor baby Feyd all alone in the dark, especially after seeing his relationship with Rabban. I interpreted Rabban's hostility as jealousy at Feyd being the Barons favorite (the Baron grabbed Feyds hand, not his) and also a hint to their future brotherly dynamic. I was a little more confused about Feyds relationship with food in that scene. I THINK that the scene was showing how the Baron used food/his general guardianship over Feyd to abuse and control him and Feyd trying to work his way around it by tiptoeing around the topic of food and then quickly trying to grab some without interference (Feyd tries to make the Baron think he isn't hungry and when the Baron stops him from getting the bread he gives it to him himself to remind him who controls him, also Feyd literally biting the hand that feeds him was great lol)

There's other thoughts I had but I didn't want to make this ask longer than it is! As always thank you for your hard work and amazing writing! ʕ̢̣̣̣̣̩̩̩·͡˔·ོɁ̡̣̣̣̣̩̩̩̩✧

Yay!! I’m glad the progression felt natural. I didn’t want to downplay Paul’s genuine fear towards Feyd, but I also wanted there to be those seeds of attraction and affection. Yes! Good old Paul, intellectualizing everything to help him cope 😔.

Paul and Jessica. Such a fascinating dynamic. I looooved writing them. They love each other so much and are able to read each other with such accuracy. Paul is so interesting because truly he never had friendships with people his own age. And his main “friends” were his parents. Like I think he probably grew up extremely fast and didn’t have much of a childhood (in an extremely different way than Feyd. As for Feyd I think he simultaneously never was allowed to be a child and never grew out of childhood. It’s complicated. So much arrested development there).

Yes, they love spending time together and are able to communicate very openly. It’s a huge help and comfort for Paul to have his mother there in a place where he is feeling intensely vulnerable. And while he might not feel comfortable discussing the mechanics of sex with his mother (totally understandable), he values and respects her advice and input. And he’s able to talk through and process his emotions in a way Feyd is not. (Which, sneak peak, the next few chapters are going to dive deeper into that communication gap between them/emotional maturity gap).

Side note: it has been really interesting and rewarding to dig into this relationship between Paul and Feyd. But also Jessica and Paul. And in the coming stories Jessica and Feyd will spend some more time together which should be fun to write. Really just character in general is so fun to dissect and write about. Love it.

Yes!!! The dream sequences. I had so much fun writing those. When I started writing, I actually wrote the first and last one simultaneously because that was always going to be the direction of Paul’s journey in the chapter: from the past and loss and sadness to the future and hope. Yes! Duncan and Jamis are alive! As this universe progresses, we are going to find out what happened to a lot of the Atreides Household. I also am going to touch on the Fremen. However, it’s going to be a smaller part of this story. Also yes to the future changing as a result of his deepening relationship with Feyd.

The no movement scene 😶. We are going to see that scene come to fruition in this fic.

Ah yes. The Feyd dream sequence. So hard to think about. But so important. Because it is vital to understanding him, for us as a reader and for Paul to start contextualizing their interactions so far and how their relationship will be going forward. He is a deeply wounded character which does not excuse his actions but does help us understand them.

His relationship with Rabban, much like his relationship with the baron, is extremely layered and complicated. I will be diving into it deeper in the sequel fic. I wish we got to see more of them in the film, but I liked seeing what we got. It’s such a small moment in the movie, but when they look at each other during the scene with the emperor, it says so much. Like they could understand what the other was thinking and kinda communicate through that look. Even though there is clear hostility in their relationship, there is still a connection.

In my fic, your interpretation is very accurate. There is a layer of jealousy there as Feyd is certainly the favorite. It seems pretty clear that Feyd is the smarter of the two (although I like what Austen said about Feyd and how he isn’t as smart as he thinks he is, because I think that’s also true). But I also think (very sadly) Feyd is younger when the Baron gets “custody” of them. Rabban is a lot older and grown up and able to fend for himself, where Feyd isn’t.

The food thing!!! I’m so glad you brought it up because I have been wanting to talk about it. I have this whole headcanon about Feyd and his relationship to food. What the Baron is doing is certainly a form of abuse and control. My headcanon is that he controlled Feyd’s eating. Yes, I think as a way of demonstrating his power over him and forcing dependence and also dehumanizing him. But I also think he has a thing about Feyd’s weight. The Baron is an obese man who indulges constantly in gluttony of many kinds. But, he seems to be attracted to thin/waifish boys. I think the Baron controlled Feyd’s weight/appearance for as long as possible for his own purposes. I’ve been laying it in there since the beginning, but Feyd has an odd relationship to food and his body. He’s very conscious of his weight and fat and wants to keep his muscle mass, but not gain fat. He’s also a little weird about eating. And when the Baron comes, we see him lose his appetite and then vomit essentially nothing because he hadn’t eaten all day.

I guess I kinda started this headcanon when I noticed how little body fat Austen had in the movie and how he talked about gaining a lot of muscle for the role. And then I started thinking about the Barons canon tastes. And then I started thinking about how Feyd might have purposely started cultivating bigger muscles as a means of protection… anyway. Um. Maybe that’s too much info lol. But I have so many head canons and theories about both Feyd and Paul. I think Feyd is an extremely damaged and messed up person and it’s going to take a lot of time and effort to untangle that…

As always, thank you for your insightful questions ☺️. I love answering them and getting to talk more about Feydpaul.

Hi! I was hoping you could do yandere! Hannibal with a darling who is struggling with an eating disorder. I'm really struggling rn and would like my murder foodie <3

A/n: I'm sorry you're struggling right now, hopefully you'll feel better soon.

FOOD WILL NEVER BE AN ISSUE WITH ME

He noticed how your relationship with food changed gradually, but he didn't want to assume it to be something related to an ED. 

Nonetheless, he kept an eye out. 

Day after day, more symptoms started to manifest. You felt demotivated to interact with people, distancing yourself from loved ones and friends. Your mind also toyed with your emotions. From the confident person you were, you morphed the image of your body into something different, ugly in your mind.

If you have Anorexia/Bulimia:

He will work with you to change the lies your mind made up going towards a better version of you that you can love. And if need be, he is willing to sit dowen with you and start small. Small bites throughout the day to let you be comfortable with food once more, eating with you without a hurry or even telling jokes to make the ambience less tense and nerve-wracking.

He will worry about your dizzy spells or your loss of muscle tone(linked to anorexia's symptoms). If you find yourself trapped in a depressive or anxious episode, he will offer you different and healthier methods of coping with this temporary stop( linked to bulimia's symptoms).

  As a doctor and a psychiatrist, he is sure to find a way to let you talk about your feelings without fear of being judged.

The progress may be slow, but perfection takes time. And he is patient. He understands that coming out of this vicious cycle isn't easy as people would love to make it. 

For once, maybe you'll start to feel good in your own skin. Who knows, what the good doctor will do? 

After all, he is nothing short of resourceful when it comes to his beloved.

Ooh you have read 'the chocolate box girls' books?

Omg I'm so sorry I replied to this so late 😭😭

But yeah I love this series!! It was one of my first "romance" kind of books and it was at first a guilty pleasure for little me!

I also remember it was the first time I properly understood what anorexia was. Like I knew what it was but I didn't fully get it. I think that's why this series stuck with me.

Nimona and Fatphobia

OK so for those of you who don’t know, they’re making Nimona significantly thinner in the movie version...

When she’s canonically plus-sized.

The original comic does a pretty good job with this, and avoids many commont ropes.

Still, I have some criticisms about size representation in the series as a whole, and I’ll get to those too.

Spoilers ahead.

Alos, tw for misogyny, fatphobia, racism, ableism, classism, eating disorders,

Before we start, a quick disclaimer:

I’m plus-sized, in the sense that this is the label that I think describes my size the best, and I have to get “oversized” clothes at Garage and my parents tried to get me to diet, so this was a big deal for me.

First...

First and most importantly: Size is not Nimona’s primary character trait.

She’s the main character of the series.

And this is something that’s such a big deal.

ND Stevenson himself said it in his earlier cartoon: The action comic industry is not so big on size representation.

In this comic, Stevenson critiques the way in which merchandise, posters, and the general culture of comics is very much misogynistic and portraying a very universally thin model.

The gendered sizing stereotypes and objectification come hand-in-hand. It’s the idea that women can only be seen as thin, busty objects of men’s consumption.

In any case, it’s the big deal that Nimona’s the main character.

She’s on the front cover of the book, the series is named after her, she’s the main character with arguably the most important role...

In any case, like this is the first thing I wanted to mention. While size representation is getting better, it’s usually a side character or two. But she’s the main character. I can talk about this alone for hours honestly.

2. Food

When I was reading Nimona again, I was worried because of the food tropes. I realized there was a running joke about pizza, and I was about to groan thinking of all the fatphobic comments that could come out of this.

But after actually reading this:

The joke isn’t about Nimona wanting food, it’s about her boss, Ballister, having nothing to eat in his fridge and having trashy taste.

He, dead-pan, says, “There are some genetically altered anchovies” Like what the hell is up with that?!

I actually think this is really awesome, as someone who struggled with eating disorders for a while.

I didn’t want another “The Whale” situation where the fatness was portrayed as a thing to be ashamed of, and directly caused by “junk food.” 

Nimona sips soda without caring for calories, has cravings that’s treated as something to familiarize her with the audience, and it’s overall a good job.

3. Power

This isn’t Shazam, in which thinness is considered synonymous with power.

She’s always portrayed as lively, and strong, regardless of her weight. If she needs to transform, it’s never to do with weight, but to do with form and function. Which is honestly a lot more than I was expecting.

Criticisms:

Amount There really aren’t that any other main characters that are plus-sized. Like, there are a few minor ones with less than 10 speaking lines, but nothing too major. But the one character that is important is treated with respect that I wish more plus-sized characters have in media today.

Still, there are a few worth mentioning. This includes Tabitha, the apple-seller, and Tabitha’s friend (again, extremely minor character but better than nothing). Like, I thought it was nice to see too sorta-thick characters getting together and chatting. You know, just living life. I thought that was nice. Sometimes normalcy is a good way to go when we have trash like The Whale out there.

Also, there was this random person with two speaking lines (not loving the ableist and classist stuff, tbh though)

Of course, there’s also my favorite character in the series, Dr. Blitzmeyer, but I’m still angry that she was menat to be thicker in the sketches so I’m not including her :(

Look at that! She was thicc af before

There were a few more plus-sized folks in the book, but no one who’s actually major.

In all:

I wish there were more plus-sized characters in the original comics, but that doesn’t remove the fact that Nimona was handled extremely well, especially for a comic.

TW:ED

A lot of people kind of headcanon sam Winchester as having an ED. So, I was wondering if you maybe agree with that and if so, do you think it’s something he takes with him into little space? Also, if he does have it as a little as well, do you have any headcanons about how dean deals with it?

Also if you need ideas for Damon and Stefan: maybe Stefan takes his toy somewhere Damon told him not to, he loses it and freaks out but doesn’t tell Damon, and eventually Damon finds out and fixes everything?

Ask me for headcanons on characters from my fandom list!

Thank you for the idea for Defan!

As for the Winchesters…

TW: major discussion of eating disorders…

I think both of them have different forms of an eating disorder.

Dean has an issue with binge eating. It stems from at times not knowing where his next meal would come from as a child. If food was scarce while John was gone, he of course gave it to Sammy. (Though don’t get me started on the time when Sam threw a tantrum about the cereal, Dean threw out the spaghettios. He would’ve eaten them for sure…) He also is just so used to eating junk. Pie is less filling, so he had to eat more of it.

He eats when he’s sad. He eats when there’s a victory. He eats when he’s angry. Even if he’s not hungry, he just eats.

Meanwhile, even the food that Sam ate growing up was all junk and I’m sure he got sick of it. In spite of all the younger Sams being regular size, Sam says this in S1…

Which I know is where a lot of the “Sam has an eating disorder” stems from. I do think there may have been a period where Sam was overweight and we just didn’t see it. Or, I could buy that he went to a clinic after he left for Stanford and they were like “your diet is horrific”. And he spiraled into a health kick after that, which lead to him scared to touch that junk.

I think overall, Dean supports Sam wanting to eat healthier, especially when he’s Little. However, he probably tries to overfeed him as he’s so skinny. Then Sam doesn’t want to eat because he’s self-conscious. Cue tantrums and I can even see Dean losing his cool.

I think it takes a long time before they both realize their relationship with food isn’t healthy. Sam starts going to therapy for other issues and his therapist points out it’s not healthy that he’s so obsessed with calories and wanting to survive off protein shakes and salad. Then when she talks to Dean, he explains how he’s been handling it and the therapist is like…

So, they both have work to do.

(Of course my dear, I do apologise this took so long. Life was life for a while. I based this one on personal experrience but all eating disorders show in different ways. I send hugs to all those that deal with them, for the bad days and the relaspes but just know you aren’t alone.

I am going to tag this with eating disorder warning, I did try to keep it sort of vague enough that it shouldn’t be triggering but I don’t want to run any risk.)

          ____________________________________________________

Hanzo is quite aware of how the mind can shape the body, putting ideas in one’s head that aren’t necessarily healthy.

First noticing this in you one afternoon. Hanzo, Genji, Hana, Lucio and you had decided to take a walk through Havana after being stationed nearby. Some sort of festival had been going on, the sound of music had filled the air, children laughing, smell of food and sweets hanging heavy.

It had been quite a fun experience, Genji, Hana and Lucio all being eager to start binge trying everything in sight but none of the food seemed to interest you, explaining it away as “having had a large breakfast” but he noticed you seemed to lose any colour in your face and seem almost nauseated by the smells and looks of the treats around.

Making an excuse of needing some fresh air, he had taken you with him to a large park where while there seemed to be a band playing and some small rides set up, the smell of food was faint.

Questioning whether you felt alright seemed to yield no results as you insisted you were fine so he let the subject drop. Distracting you with small talk as you both waited for the rest of your group to be done.

He seemed quite concerned over the next few days but after some reassurance from you that you were fine, he seemed to let it go. To you at least. He kept quite the close eye, concerned about his dear one.

Noticing a pattern emerging with your behaviour. Some days you were your usual self, others you were withdrawn, self-critical, commenting on your physical appearance and wearing large hoodies. He always checked on you, make sure to compliment you both on actions taken or on physical things. Being slightly more affectionate.

You always seemed to bounce back but would hit those low points and he could never quite figure out why. You made excuses but he could always tell there was something more going on.

It hit him during a mission in Oasis, the two of you had been tracking Null Sector in the area for a week. Having to pull odd shifts to  keep up with the Omnic group's activities as unlike you both, they didn't need to rest.

After waking you up for a 3am shift swap, he was alarmed as you tried to take a step out of bed and just crumpled like a leaf. He was able to catch you before you hit the floor, your limp body being moved back to the bed.

You had woken up after a few seconds, your boyfriend’s concerned eyes staring back into yours with a hand pressed to your forehead. 

Another attempt was made at getting out of bed with your insistence you were fine, you ended up having to sit back down quite quickly. 

After a quick argument about the mission taking priority over you having a dizzy spell, Hanzo made it very firmly clear you were his priority and others could take over for them. Null sector were not aware they were being watched as far as you both knew and he refused to put you in danger when you were not 100 percent.

After that, evac was called, Genji and Tracer soon taking your place on mission as your boyfriend was far too concerned about you to be able to focus and you knew in your current state, you would just worry him more if you left without him.

The next few days were spent in your shared apartment, the couch becoming a small nest of blankets and pillows, your favourite movies and TV shows being watched as the two of you cuddled on the couch. The compromise on food being a snack plate of your favourite items that you slowly worked your way through it.

He was quite proud of you and made that known over those few days, pressing the occasional kiss to your head, giving the occasional squeeze here, telling you that he loved you there. Trying to show in his own way that he understood but was proud of you for whatever you managed to eat.

From there on, he kept an eye on you. Never being overbearing about his reminders about you needing to eat but not ignoring it.

Handing you a breakfast bar in the morning, coming by with some of your favourite meals for lunch, finding local restaurants that allowed take-away for dinner. Respecting the times where you couldn't get yourself to finish a plate and simply putting it away as leftovers. Always quick to reassure you that while structured times to eating could help, it was never too early or late in the day to eat something. Or that a snack and some water was truly better than nothing at all.

The compliments turn up to an 11 on those bad days, not just limited to physical ones but those were the main brunt of them, ones about your mental abilities, smarts, one liners he still finds particularly funny that you had delivered were often also common. Wanting you to know that even if your brain was being cruel to you about your appearance, that he thought you were gorgeous. No matter what.

Curious as to what people who talk about Eugenia Cooney giving eating disorders to girls would do if Eugenia left the internet and never came back and the amount of people with eating disorders stayed the same?

The eating disorder will exist long before Eugenia becomes a factor to any of them. Her existing on the internet will change absolutely nothing. She's not going to be an inspiration if she goes into a deeper recovery. She's not going to be a role model. She's not going to save people by getting medical treatment. She's going to be someone who deserves love and kindness and peace in her journey.

Eugenia is about as likely to give someone an eating disorder as she would give someone smallpox.

She's just existing in a body that has an eating disorder. You can talk all you want about how "kids shouldn't see that" but that doesn't justify banning someone from the internet for their disability. That's the truth of the matter. She has a disability and to ban her off the internet when she has not said a single thing about her ED behaviors is called discrimination and is illegal.

Even in the shane dawson documentary, she tried very hard to avoid topic of her ED behaviors. That is responsible.

She talks about how people should be comfortable in their body. She talks about how people should not look like her. She talks about how that's just how her body is (which is true because medical conditions can make your body look a certain way). All of those are very responsible things to do and it's just fucking ridiculous to see people try to argue that she is "promoting anorexia". Y'all wouldn't know what promoting anorexia is if it walked up and hit you in the face.

You wanna know what DOES promote anorexia?

Telling people that THEIR BODY causes harm simply from existing

Harassing someone about how they should get help NOT because they just deserve help but because so they can be a "role model"

Telling people their body is not appropriate for children

Refusing to understand fact-based evidence on how eating disorders work

Get a fucking psychology degree or stop harassing her.

new conspiracy theory: Eugenia Cooney's mother made a legit deal with Satan to keep her daughter alive for pimping/exploitation purposes despite the fact the girl is now lucky if she weighs 25 pounds soaking wet.

March 7th and Something Deeper

Warning: This post focuses on eating disorders. Please do not read this if that content makes you uncomfortable.

I’ve had it in my head for a while that March 7th has an eating disorder. Since the trio’s trip to Jarilo-VI, I’ve felt like something was wrong, but I couldn’t exactly explain it. When I searched for information about it online, I was given no answer. I tend to look into things too much. It’s a really bad habit of mine, but I wanted to mention this, especially if one day someone else happens to form the same idea and wants to know if anyone else has thought about it.

The girl is introduced to be someone cute. It tends to happen to characters like her, but she speaks about herself in this way constantly, almost to the fact that it feels a little forced. It certainly doesn’t help that she’s constantly taking pictures of herself. It’s stated that she takes these photos so that she won’t forget the events that occurred, but what if there’s more to it than that? What if she also values the times where she feels like she can call herself pretty, and doesn’t want to lose memory of them?

I could honestly write so many paragraphs on my thoughts here, because I really do like March’s character, but I’ll use bullet points to shorten my additional points.

★ March has an unhealthy attachment to juice, asking Pom-Pom for an unlimited amount of it. She says that she can’t stop drinking it. Those that follow a liquid diet tend to develop this attachment, since the liquid is the only thing their body is really given.

★ On the Xianzhou Loufu, March 7th tries to use Immortal Delight—a drink—at the Matrix of Prescience with Fu Xuan in an effort to gain her memories back. There were many dishes that she could have selected.

★ When March brings up food in her data bank, the girl only mentions eating food that doesn’t taste good. “No matter how disgusting the dish, you gotta summon your trailblazing spirit and face it!” Eating foods that someone doesn’t actually like is a form of self-punishment. Since March doesn’t know her past, she has no way of knowing if she was a good person, and she could feel the need to punish herself for her possible actions. She could also feel the need to punish herself for forgetting her past at all, even if her memories have been tampered with. It’s really just odd that the girl wants to accept challenges that Welt, Himeko, and Dan Heng wouldn’t encourage.

★ When asked about what she had come to learn about photography, March’s answer feels out of place, and her phrasing is questionable. "Number one, when taking pictures of terrible cuisines, all the details must be clearly visible on the pictures because 'Taking pictures of food is equal to eating them. Every detail matters.'"

★ March 7th mentions that she wants to be just like Himeko, a woman who has an unhealthy attachment to coffee.

★ It’s suggested that March gets cold easily. If her ability is not ice, but actually some kind of condensed crystal like she insists it is, then an eating disorder would explain this trait of hers.

★ March 7th has been shown to have mood swings, a symptom of an eating disorder. She’s known to be irritable, suddenly getting annoyed by some people’s comments, and diluting their personalities. For example, she thought that Fu Xuan talked too much. March also has increased anxiety that is easy to overlook, continuing to bring up things in the past, such as how Cocolia had suddenly shifted her demeanor after the trio’s stay at the Goethe hotel. Pom-Pom also states that March, the very girl who is so talkative she’ll talk to herself, seems to suddenly become quiet when organizing photo albums or writing in her diary, only to return back to normal afterwards.

All the same, this game isn’t focused on things like this. This won’t be looked into, and I’m quite aware of that, but I think that the signs are still there.

With eating disorders, many...focus on the obvious behaviors regarding food, weight, fat, and body image, and fail to perceive the more invisible aspects, the hidden hungers that fuel the disordered eating behaviors. They are unable to recognize that...more than their bodies are not being adequately fed. Their souls—the invisible, nonphysical aspects of themselves that are much more than the body and personality—are starving. When we confuse spiritual food or soul food with actual material food, the soul is left starving and the body is abandoned.

tw: disordered eating, f1 diet culture, discussing Nico's new video around 2 min mark which set off my 🚩

my girlies who struggle with eds, maybe skip this one

I think it's interesting that Nico's been out of F1 for like 6 years now but clearly yo-yo diets??? like my bestie retiree you don't need to "extreme diet" or feel bad about having ice cream... yo-yo dieting is basically having big fluctuations in weight cause it's not sustainable and you lose a lot really fast cause you're restricting but then gain it all back the second you let loose.

when he says 'fat' and then walks it back with fat for His Terms, so he's somewhat aware of the rhetoric and his language. His "peak" in 2016 was like the smorgasbord of disordered eating, where he stopped cycling to lose muscle fat, and ate a miserable diet everyday...... and I think of how it must fuck with your brain when for ten-twenty years you're expected to keep your physical shape that which of a frail little karting kid, being as lightweight as possible, and when your greatest achievements are possible as a Result of that obviously you're gonna view it as your peak performance......... f1 drivers have such interesting relationships with their bodies, like lewis on his stories about burning fat while being like 2% body fat max, or Pierre how he can't/won't eat certain foods he loved as a child anymore. and there's the fact that you're weighed after every race, you're constantly aware of your weight and the sport depends on it. but they're still the athletes, they're getting paid millions to look and perform that way. Nico's "I'm going back to my extreme diet" when he's Retired and doesn't need to was interesting......... esp in the end where he says "that's the way it's always going to be" which is a whole Nest of body issues 😵‍💫 I wonder if he's ever confronted why he thinks that's how it's always going to be, resigned to this fate, when he's no longer beholden to the rigorous standards and testing of formula one anymore 🤔
