hey y'all i know it's been a while and i apologize for not being active. online school started this week and my mom insistes on having a full school day completely with learn a new life lesson, chores, activity, etc.

anyways, i just wanted to hop in and make sure you're all aware. i have discovered my new pet peeve when it comes to forms so i just want to let you all know, when it comed to your character weight, I DONT CARE.

(sorry if that sounded harsh or anything.)
im not pointing anyone out specifically, i don't think any of you have done this, but there are a few other people i've seen in other role plays that make their ocs super underweight, especially the females, because that's how they're expected to be! females are expected to be super skinny, like 100 pounds, with long legs. people find that attractive i guess. and do now everyone is doing that to their ocs.

please, for my sake, don't do that. i honestly don't care how much your oc weighs. i always put my ocs weight as the same as their face claims, or adjust it. like jagger. his faceclaim is about 180 lbs because he's shorter than most guys, like 5'8. but jagger lived in the poor part of town and i specifically said he takes care of his mom and sister first, meaning they get all the food, leaving him to be skinny. not anorexic skinny, but like 140 lbs which is not a lot for a guy his age and height. if any of you have the same pet peeve as i do, now you know why i did that.

but for all my other characters, i mostly base it off their face claims to the number. the faceclaim i thought for farrah the best happened to be a really thin, fit model. but if you know my other characters, a lot of which are pretty fit, like slatia and skylar, they're heavier than some because they're very muscular.

just...point is...make your oc fit with their background and what makes sense. don't have them be a royalty and then say they're like 82 pounds. someone in the royal family would NEVER be that tiny unless they're young ofc.

of course, disregard this is your oc is anorexic or bulimic or has some other eating disorder, but don't have all your ocs have it just so they can be skinny.

underweight, overweight, or just where they're supposed to be, you all have amazing ocs. but my idea of beauty isn't having long legs and a tiny waist, or no acne, or whatever.

make your ocs how YOU want to make them. not how you want them to appear. if you want to make them skinny, fine. but at least be creative and explain why or something.

i was anorexic most of my 8th grade year. i have long legs, a small but high waist, and fuller hips and i wanted to be thin and pretty like every other girl. i skipped lunch, sometimes breakfast and dinner, i joined a swim team that practiced for two hours three times a week.

i was 92 lbs by midterms of that year. and yeah, i was thin and everything. but i felt awful. i had no confidence, i was the quiet kid in class who knew the answers but never said them out loud.

now, i'm almost done with my freshman year of high school. i currently weigh 107 lbs. it's still considered underweight since i'm about 5'5, but i feel so much better. instead of starving myself and exercising nonstop, i tried dieting. i found a sport i love. i became more confident in myself. i met a guy who completely changed my perspective on everything. he's the most outgoing, sweetest person i know and his positive outlook on life was what turned me around. (no we're not dating btw just good friends).

for those of you with ocs like this, i want to know.
are you reflecting yourself in them?
do you wish you were thinner? prettier? quieter or more confident?
maybe it is just your oc. maybe it's not.

either way, know that you are beautiful. you are loved. you are amazing. and you are perfect just the way you are.

if you still want to do something about your weight, don't starve yourself to lose weight and don't eat like shît to gain it.

try dieting. switching to paleo or keto. yes it's a struggle meal prepping, but it's so much more worth it in the long run.

sorry for this rant and sorry if it is too personal. if you want to talk, i'm here for you! and if you just need some encouraging words, pm me. i had to go through it alone and it was awful.

but you don't have to.

thanks for reading, ily all<3

(ps sorry this escalated quickly if you are doing this with your oc just don't unless you have a good reason. and for those of you who are confident with yourself, love yourselves and your body, keep going<3)
