Just a couple of my favorite cosplays

~if you see yourself please tell me so I can credit you~

Awwww it’s my Tiana cosplay, thanks for taking a pic!

Still on the road, starting to think we’ll never get home~

Naw we’ll be home today, we’ve just been taking our time and enjoying the road trip  :)  But then I can catch up on messages and post pictures from the con and whatnot.  It was a great time!

Our Princess group at San Japan! We had a blast today (even tho we had a bunch of problems with the hotel rooms) and can’t wait for tomorrow!

These ladies were great!  We rant into each other and got a bunch of pictures together in my Tiana cosplay (not in this set but will probably pop up I think?)

Took a moment before artist alley opened to get some pictures along the River Walk.  It’s such a lovely area  <3

Road tripping to San Japan, it’s an 18 hour trip to San Antonio. Maaaaay have stopped after 6 hours to watch the newest episode of Free, just maybe.

That one time Night Vale was in Minneapolis and we went and stayed long enough to get autographs and meet the cast and they wished me a Happy Birthday since my birthday is on Saturday.  

Best birthday week ever?

Best birthday week ever!

I maaaaaaay be a bit too excited about Team Four Star being at San Japan.  Just maybe.  How I finished these is beyond me I’m so tired @.@

Anyhow!  Can’t wait to meet them all, I hope they like these  :)

Good reasons :)

Agreed  :)

I think the idea of “glorifying obesity” is, frankly, a load of crap.  Mostly because of what I’ve posted before:  people assume that fat people are lazy, that they do nothing at all but sit around all day being miserable. However, at the same time, whenever a fat person goes out and does anything its “glorifying obesity.”  You can’t have it both ways.  You can’t tell someone they’re lazy then tell them they’re glorifying something bad by not being lazy.  You can’t say to me, “Stop sitting around all day go out and do something,” then I go out, cosplay, promote my books, my art, hang out with friends, enjoy my time with my partner, plan our wedding, then suddenly all of that is “glorifying obesity.”  It’s not glorifying my size, it’s glorifying my life and the things that make me happy. 

The other thing I always say is to be happy with yourself.  That’s because your size doesn’t matter as far as your mental health is concerned.  If you were to lose weight, for instance, but still be unhappy with yourself for whatever reason, then your appearance isn’t going to mean anything.  At all.  

There’s this illusion, I think, that thin equals happy.  Happiness isn’t a size. There are thin people who aren’t happy with their appearance but I think, as a fat person, we’re told, “No, that’s what you need to be happy,” to the point that when a thin person is like, “I’m insecure about my appearance,” we’re like, “Shut the fuck up, you’re thin.”  Happiness, insecurity, all of those things are not a size.  Laziness is not a size trait.  Size is simply that: a size.  

Thank you for your question and being mature about it, and honestly, thank you for being the first person to actually comment on how good the dress is and not discredit it because of my size.
