Fat? Easy to gain. So so easy. Our bodies want to keep fat around, because we’re designed not to starve.

Dropping fat? NOT so easy. When people talk about “losing fat,” what they’re saying is “I need to override millions of years of genetics to convince my body I’m not dying and it doesn’t need this carefully-stored fuel.” Dieting? Your body thinks it’s starving. Work out like crazy? Your body thinks it’s in a situation where it needs to bring the hammer down on the regular, and that means you need more fuel – speaking just for myself, I want to eat the world after I lift. That shit doesn’t melt away, even if you’ve been training like a motherfucking monster for months and eating right, because the body wants to keep it.

So yeah, the “eat less move more” doctrine can fuck itself right in the face. 

There are very, very active fat people, fat people who are experts at every sport and physical activity you can imagine. But because fat rests on top of the muscle, you don’t know when we’re jacked. Oh, sure, sometimes you can get a idea, if a person is WILDLY active, like for a fucking living. Here’s Samoa Joe, the NXT pro wrestling champion who was literally dethroned last night: 

Yeah, you can see there’s a lot of power there. 

But a lot of times you can’t. Here’s Vince Wilfork, two-time Superbowl tackling champion:

And here’s Holley Mangold, 2012 superheavyweight division Olympian: 

These are people who fight (and flip, and do all kinds of crazy shit in Joe’s case), and run, and lift for a living. 

And they’re not unusual, as much as you’d like to think so. The world is full of fat powerhouses, of fat runners, of fat Crossfitters, and they’re just as good at doing the thing as their smaller counterparts. 

So realism? Fuck off. The only reason we don’t have fat game characters is because society is fatphobic as fuck. 

(Exhibit A: Fezzik carrying 3 people up a cliff)

“yeah but that’s fictional!”

Cool story, quick question: can you? 

The more you diet and starve the highrr chance your children will be fat because genetically they that YOU went thru a famine and gave your kin something to protect in case famine comes again.

Your body will eat your muscle way faster then fat. Muscle = unnessasary where as fat =survival; fuel

Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man #310

Trans and nb people:

SO there’s the moment in Inifinity war that was gifed by @lupitanyongio, and I thought, Okoye’s reaction is very mother-like.

But then I thought about it a bit. It’s not a heart-broken mother reaction, it’s a soldier’s heart-broken moment.

I refuse to believe that the people in Wakanda didn’t know about HYDRA, at least as a concept. Within the MCU, HYDRA wasn’t really a secret, and the parts they played in WWII, was so integral to the course of history, there’s no way it was left out of any sort of history book. And it’s not like Wakanda is ignorant of what’s going on - they have War Dogs, spies posted internationally, they had to have had some inkling as to the stories of the Winter Soldier.

So enter Bucky Barnes with a programming inside his head, and he doesn’t feel safe - he’s not himself. He hides away in his little hut with his goats, because this is all he ever wanted in life, peace and quiet. 

One day, Okoye’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she visits Bucky.

At first, he doesn’t really want to speak to her, but his mama raised a gentlemen, so he’s not going to tell her to get lost. But the moment she see’s him, she knows. 

Okoye isn’t some wide-eyed warrior who’s just joined the Dora Milaje, she’s their General. She’s seen battle. She’s seen death. She’s seen more than enough of it in her 20, 30 years of serving the Dora. To stand before a man who has seen so much in his 100 years, battle, war, death, unspeakable crimes. To have had his will to act, his will to live stripped away. 

She sees all this, and her heart breaks, because she knows. 

So that look that she makes when Bucky asks “where’s the fight?” That’s of a soldier who knows her comrade has seen too much, and yet, is going back to do the right thing.

…into Superman.
