fave things about growing up chubby:
- feeling like the ‘unattractive’ friend
- being called the ‘wingman’
- acting as a personal shopper for your smaller sized friends
- not being able to fit into any of the popular clothing brands
- “oh shut up, you aren’t even plus size!!”
- “you have a really cute face though!!”
- trying to wear baggy clothes so they don’t cling to your body
- “nice rolls”
- earthquake and tsunami jokes
- gym class. everything about gym class
- developing a bad posture from trying to appear smaller than you are
- not getting asked to school dances, or even to dance once you’re there
- needing a special uniform/costume in dance/team sports
- not wanting to eat in front of anyone
- having what is a serious eating disorder turned into a joke
- being compared to elephants/whales
- little to no positive media representation
- low self confidence, depression, and anxiety
- “concerned” looks/comments from family members
- having people assume you don’t care about yourself/body
- hoarding snacks to eat in secret
- being stared at when you go into particular stores
- buying mens clothing because the sizes are more generous
- crying in the change room
- having doctors assume every problem in your life is due to your weight
- “so are you trying to lose weight?”
- “are you sure you want to eat that?”
- “just try eating less!!”
- avoiding looking in the mirror
- never letting anyone take your picture
being bisexual and having different feelings when ur attracted to guys than when u are to girls is so hard to explain bc being attracted to a guy is like “ah” and being attracted to a girl is like “oo” but that doesn’t make any sense to anyone but me
FUCK society for constantly trying to make me feel like my fat existence is embarrassing. I’m so fed up of feeling inadequate.
I WILL take up as much space as I need and I will do it proudly.

I thought the coyote stretching its paws was cute so I made a GIF of it.

Why is there a coyote on a bus.

fav japanese vine so far
WTF is going on. IT’S GREAT.
Omg, I am dying.
I can explain! Rn in Japan they have this thing 壁ドン (kabedon, literally “wall thump”): when a dude slams his hand on the wall by a girl to keep her caged there with his arm. It’s supposed to be hella manly and sexy, but really people just meme the hell out of it, like the above.

😌 More of these little 4 panelers that chill me out and don’t seem to bug anyone too much. 😌
All the pages of my defunct little webcomic Planetary Research. The plan was that the strip would run for a year and feature a new discovery about the island’s biology every week.
Eventually the explorer would discover that the entire planet was alive before going back home to her family. It was a ton of fun to work on, but the coloring process was intricate and the project quickly lost momentum.
Learning about your individual process often leads to a lot of misfires. This was one of mine. But without it, I never would be able to make Snow on Steel, which I’m launching this Wednesday!
hot tip for 2015: don’t comment or speculate on how much someone eats

i love it when ppl say ‘i swing both ways’ to refer to being bisexual bc then i picture pansexuals spinning uncontrollably and screaming.
