Was listening to Ma Meilleure Ennemie ft. Coldplay, and my hand slipped... Oops

hey @sapphic-corgi i heard you'd wished for some catcrow 👁️👁️ 💫

i was so excited when i saw i'd gotten you as my gifting partner !! not only because your catcrow takes on the server are great but also because ??? i've somehow not drawn these two yet, and it feels extremely fitting that the first time is for you <3 (hope you like this !!)

thomas is annoyed because he thought he’d been making good progress flirting with edwin and suspects monty might have had something to do with the injury.

thomas goes to edwin (and charles) to tell them to look into monty because they’re into all that detective shit and they find evidence that monty’s mother, is definitely a person of interest.

(Before we start: once again this is again not an excuse to be racist or hate on Justice Smith, don’t be racist in my notes. The issue is not that he’s black)

I’m already fucking tired of “in Jacob we trust” as if that isn’t a white, skinny, gay man. The queer community has SO much fatphobia and it’s entirely likely he’s fatphobic. No hate to Squirrely Dan in Letterkenny but that’s the only recurring plus size representation in Jacob Tierney’s main media. The man is just that, a man. He can have faults and biases like anyone else.

And this isn’t like Svetlana being black or Ilya being tall or Scott being blonde or whatever other non book accurate casting you want to argue about. This is removing a very underrepresented type of diversity and replacing it with a different kind (and we won’t be getting into Tierney and the paper bag test of it all, but I do notice it). We don’t see fat or even chubby or non skinny/muscular people portrayed as desirable or sexy almost ever and if they had cast a bear as Harris it would have been genuinely groundbreaking. Someone who doesn’t have a societally accepted body type in a sex scene in a show as big as Heated Rivalry would have legitimately change lives.

I would like to make some book recommendations for people:

Fearing the Black Body by Sabrina Strings which is about how fatphobia is rooted in racism

What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gordon which is about the ways fatphobia impact daily living

And some books others have recommended to me while talking about this!

Here the Whole Time by Vitor Martins (queer YA romance)

Brown Sisters Trilogy by Talia Hibbert (another romance)

Belly of the Beast by Da’Shaun Harrison (another book on the racism that fatphobia is rooted in)

And some movies for plus sized romantic rep!
