Chapter 2 of Seven Nights, Seven Days is up!

(Sorry it’s so late. I swear, this was meant to be a Yuletide story.)

Summary:

Dashing through the snow, with a pit warg in the lead –

Or, Bilbo and Thorin have their first Yule Day in the Shire.

Thank you to @tea-blitz for the beta, and to @omgkatsudonplease and @anonymoussong for your liveblog series, from which I got some of the idea for Dwarves having a Festival of Lights. (This one has potato pancakes every year, though.)

skinny is not any healthier than fat. fat is extremely important for your body to be able to take shocks. my grandpa had a stroke bc he ate whatever he wanted and recovered in a week. my grandma was extremely skinny and didn’t eat well and did not recover for more than a month. those shitheads will never bother seeing your life or seeing you. they don’t care to make sure you’re happy and healthy, they only care about being shits. so fuck them. Live well. be happy. we’re rooting for you.

🙂 🙂 🙂

Yeah, I’d like to see fatphobic fuckwads take on my mother, who has the same genetic high cholesterol that I inherited, but at fifty-eight has NOT ONE SINGLE calcification in her arteries.

Meanwhile, both my grandfathers died of invasive and horrifying cancers, but the one built like a tree trunk made it a number of months longer than the thin one. Make of that what you will. (Dammit, Papa and Grandpa, I miss you. And it’s been a decade and a half.)

im sorry you have to deal with stupid fatshaming and shitty society standards on top of undoubtedly other, more important things but i wanted to share a few things that helped me. my family is east asian and the standard there is size zero. period, and its related to gender roles and a whole host of stupid shit. listen, being skinny will not keep you from dying one day. being skinny will not guarantee happiness. the people who disrespect you for not being size zero will probably never respect u

*HUG*

Thank you, anon. The major problem is that a lot of it is in my head. I’m at “get hit on by creepy men in the street” size, not “get told to eat salads” size, and I know that I have a lot of thin privilege compared to some. I still don’t like feeling that my body is doing things independent of any control I can have.

Doesn’t help that I have a crippling fear of death. 😦

I reread the Hobbit and I need to rant because the antisemitic undertones are so obvious to me and the story is falls apart if you don’t agree with it. I can’t deal with posts saying Tolkien hated the rich just because he made his Dwarves a representation of greed when the end has Bilbo going home richer than before. How is this anti-rich? I wish ppl would challenge this more because ppl use Jews to make some anti-greed message all the time and everyone praises it while rich gentiles are fine.

You know, you’re not the first person who’s said this. Like them, you are not wrong.

Cut for body issues.

It really fucking sucks when someone you otherwise admire brings up her giant weight loss AGAIN, with before and after pictures, not seeming to realize that her “science” and B/A picspam is exactly the same as every other dieter.

Still hurts. I mean, I’m autistic. There’s only so much “healthy” food that I can eat, as in literally swallow – my texture and taste issues make it so I’d probably throw up if I tried to eat cooked broccoli or something. And I know I’m not “fat” in the “fast glance tells you so” sense, but I’m closer to 200 pounds than 100 and I am so, so cripplingly insecure about my size. I wear a 12 and I’m petrified of 14.
