Larger bodied people often encounter reminders that their bodies are the “wrong” size, and that there’s something wrong with them. Lots of minor discomforts, and a few major discomforts, add up over the course of the day. It can make people feel like they don’t fit in, don’t belong, in this world that was not built to accommodate them.

Me when these fuckass boys from my grade went the same way as me walking after school and proceeded to laugh at me and say ‘she’s taking up the whole sidewalk’ IM JUST TRYNA GET HOME AND LIKE I KNOW IM BIG YOY DONT HAVE TO REMIND ME JEEZ. Like YOURE the ones taking up the sidewalk! There’s TWENTY OF YOU AND YOURE ALL ON FUCKING SKATEBOARDS. I HATE THEM I HATE THEM I HATE THEM.

Als ob es etwas positives wäre, dass er nachdem er monatelang in den katakomben herumgeirrt und mehrmals beinahe verhungert ist und sich nur von getrockneten würmern ernähren konnte, abgenommen hat...? Brudi der hat mangel an vitaminen und nährstoffen wie einer der durch die wüste gewandert oder auf einer einsamen insel gestrandet ist? Warte mal können lindwürmer skorbut bekommen? Weil der hat nämlich definitiv skorbut?

Mein blorbo gunsti hat mangel an nährstoffen, die die zamonischen wissenschaftler noch nichtmal entdeckt haben und der autor denkt es sei eine positive entwicklung dass er jetzt nicht mehr fett ist?

[id: A page from the Justice League of America comic with four panels featuring Ted Kord, Blue Beetle 2, in his room in the middle of getting dressed in his superhero costume.

Panel 1- Ted Kord, partly dressed in his superhero uniform missing only his cowl and gloves stops and stares at his reflection in shock. His top is grinding up the curve of his gut. Ted: I knew this costume was getting tight--but this is ridiculous! Must've shrunk in the wash or something... yeah, shrunk in the wash. Right. Time t'face facts, Ted-- you've been avoiding this for months and it's finally caught up with you-- --you're a fatty.

Panel 2- Close up of Ted's face as he holds a hand up to his face in horror and disgust. His reflection in the mirror in the background looks at him judgmentally. Ted: All the dysfunctional eating habits of your childhood have come back to haunt you! That fat little boy who's been hiding inside me is back-- and ready to binge! You can't let him get you, Ted. Remember all the jokes in grade school? "Lardo" Kord they called me. Remember in gym, when they said you weren't physically fit... you were physically fat?

Panel 3- Close-up of Ted's hands as he goes through his dresser to look for a top that fits. Ted: Well, I'm not going through that again! Wasn't till I got out of college that I pulled myself together, lost weight. Took some pride in myself. Darn good thing I still got this old college sweatshirt around to cover up the bulge.

Panel 4- Ted pulls on the sweatshirt, his face sad. Ted: Sweatshirt? Heck, it's more like a tent! I can't believe I used to dress like this all the time... oversized clothes to cover up my embarrassing body. I was the only kid on my block who shopped in maternity stores! Yeah, that's it-- joke your way through it like you did then. Maybe if you can make 'em laugh, they won't reject you--

ok! I finally found the fucking issue I've been looking 4. Issue 52 of Justice League America.

Did I go through an entire comic run to find this specific issue for horny curiosity? Yes. Could I have just looked up actual porn and had a much easier time? Also yes. But that's not how my brain works. Did it satisfy my curiosity? Yes. Did it satisfy my horny? No, the dude needs therapy, the artists need to learn how to be consistent and also match what the writers are writing. Good fucking lords that was frustrating.

RIP to Ted Kord maybe someday he'll get a writer who'll let him be ok with having some chub. B/c ooo weee the internalized fatphobia, the body dysmorphia, the depression that dude needs to be treated for. Cause like, outside of the binge eating he was doing while depressed and unemployed (and thus also not exercising) which came after this, if someone is doing that much fucking exercising which being a superhero is, and getting chubby from normal eating habits then perhaps yer supposed to be a bit thick my dude? (like we know he diets to have like visible abs, so if not starving himself means he gets a gut then like that's likely the more natural and healthier shape for yer body to be in my guy )

I've reached a point where this is how I respond to people like this.

I had the AUDACITY to tell a man who was working out and a woman ruined his shot by walking in front of the camera that it's public space and he can't expect people to cater to his need for internet clout.

Cue me getting 40 comments all saying the same thing: I have clearly never gone to the gym cause, get it, I'm fat so how would I know what that feels like.

Lustige Dialoge

Justus: "Wenn ihr Drei mit dem Blödeln fertig seid, könnten wir uns endlich mit dem Fall befassen. Ich schlage vor, dass uns Paul einen zeitlich geordneten Überblick vorlegt." Peter: "Er meint: Du sollst alles von Anfang an erzählen."

Temple: "Lügner! Dir werd ich es zeigen. Hier … hier mein Stock. Samuels: "Nicht!" Peter: "Nehmen Sie den Stock weg!" Bob: "Nicht doch!" Justus: "Nicht schlagen!" Peter: "Hören Sie auf!"

Peter: "Was? Ja dann weißt du also schon viel mehr als wir? Und du stellst immer noch Fragen?!"

Shippy moments

Peter: "Fällt dir eigentlich gar nicht auf, Bob, dass wir beide immer die gefährliche Arbeit übernehmen müssen?" Bob: "Willst du etwa mit den Leuten aus dem Büro reden? Da hat Justus glaub ich das bessere schauspielerische Talent." Peter: "Na ja, dem stimm ich zu."

Peter: "Peter, er hat eine Pistole. Peter, nein, nicht!"
