“But they need to have dysphagia”
exasperated sigh of long suffering
It's honestly such a shame that we've made such a huge thing out of swimming and swimsuits and looking good in swimsuits and fat people not looking good in swimsuits. Swimming is actually the perfect exercise for fat people because it puts zero pressure on the joints, which is a much bigger concern for us than it is for skinny people, and lets you exercise basically every muscle group without straining too much and risking injury. Yet somehow this is one of the least accessible exercises to fat people due to nothing more than a culture of body shaming. The work to unlearn all the shame to be comfortable in a bathing suit in front of strangers is huge even for conventionally attractive people, but I could probably count on one hand the number of fat people I've met who were confident enough to get in a bathing suit and go swimming in public.
And what is the exercise that somehow everyone thinks they should do instead? Jogging. It's more accessible, sure, it's easy and costs nothing to go outside and run. But I need you to understand telling a fat person to go running is basically telling them to go destroy their knees. Not to mention it's probably one of the most physically uncomfortable exercises to do when you have a body that jiggles even with compression garments.
Imagine a world where everyone had the ability and equal access to whatever exercise fit them best and helped them be happy and healthiest. Imagine a world where fat people go swimming.

Question/ask game: If the person you reblogged this from was ANY magical or fantastic species/race, what would they be?
I just realized I’ve been thinking of Virgil and Deceit’s relationship entirely the wrong way???
Like I assumed it was basically
Thomas in a Situation
Virgil panic
Deceit tells a lie
Virgil no more panic
Either Virgil not happy that they lied bc Patton didn’t want it
Or this continues and Virgil became okay with lies until Something happened and we are where we are today
But most likely it’s just
Thomas in a Situation
Virgil panics
Deceit tells a lie
Virgil now more anxious about telling a lie and being caught out on it and feels bad
Therefore he doesn’t like Deceit
Yeah, that episode was something.
This really sums it up pretty good
shh… eevee is sleeping
