inFATuated

i see you.

i'm proud of you.

Also gave Brocéliande a new outfit today because why not-

Glad I kept a base of her to draw outfits on, save me some time htrhtr

There's not a lot of content of fat men, but there is some. There are also pictures of queer couples, drag queens, historical photos, etc.

Another art reference for poses with fat bodies is the website FatPhotoRef run by @lawlesslagomorph who carefully vets the people who ask for access to the website in order to ensure that none of the fat people who have volunteered photos of themselves will be abused. Donations help keep the website running too!

also i adore this blog and im so glad its still around

thank you! I chose the orca because of how I’ve seen the symbol of the whale reclaimed by fat activists in the feed1st community. I wanted to choose the killer whale as a symbol to turn the fatphobic insult into something powerful (and dangerous). the orca on the flag represents majesty, community, resilience, & liberation!

more thoughts on that here. 🐋

the four shades of blue stripes represent the four categories of fatness, with infinifat first. the grey background is a direct nod to the grey bg in the disability pride flag, which represents the mourning and rage for victims of ableist violence and abuse.

I landed on blue bc it’s the color of the ocean, vast, expansive, everchanging, and intrinsic to nature itself. the orca belongs there!
