OH MY GOD I WROTE THIS BIG RANT YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK AND TUMBLR ATE IT
But basically I feel like people fall into shitty patterns when they want to ~diversify body types~ and always go for people who will still be appealing (so no one too pushy or abrasive, no one too gnc, etc) BUT who they don’t want to fuck (hence we never see Haruka or Mamoru drawn bigger) and people use activity as an excuse despite every cast member besides Usagi being canonically super awesome at sports (which is boring, but you don’t get to ignore it if you’re also leaning on it)
And also I 1000% believe Michiru is thrown in just for good person points, because she performs femininity at such a level that people still feel comfortable (and I never see people having fictional crushes on her the way I do with Haruka or Mams or even like, Rei)
For the most part I think this could all be really great (I do think Usagi stuff tends to come from a good place, it’s just that it’s always the usagi-type character in other things) but the fact that it’s always the same characters/character types rubs me so wrong, because it’s the same fat phobia as making the villains big, but repackaged as you can be fat and good IF you are happy and wonderful and/or feminine to the highest degree.
(And like, I have a particular sore spot around the entire culture beyond just fandom of androgyny only being valid and attractive with thinness, because I know so many people who struggle there and *I* struggle there, I was a big kid and while I’m small now it’s always A Thing)
My dear and beloved coworker switched shifts with me so I can go to my fitting, and I am v nervous
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KINDNESS the fitting went well, the shirt and vest fit perfect and the pants just have to be taken out a little and they said it’ll only take a day or so to make an adjustment
goddamn i’m out of shape
Because no one ever said saving the world would be easy. Get ready to slay every witch and soldier of Darkness that stands in your way… and look fabulous while you do it, too!
After getting such awesome feedback from my Sports Anime Workout Routine, I decided to make another one – this time, inspired by the kickass magical girls of the anime world!
Just like before, you don’t need ANY equipment for this routine! No gym membership required – you don’t even have to leave your room or put on real-people pants. (Bless.) If you’re more advanced and want to bump it up a little, add some 5-15 lb. weights on some of the moves, but otherwise, all you need is your body!
Here’s how it works: Queue up all of these songs, whether it’s in iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud, or another music player of your choice. Hit “Play.” Your goal is to get through all of the designated exercises before the song is over. If you don’t make it, replay the song until you’re done! Then move on to the next one. Try to rest as little as possible between each exercise (and each song!) for the best results.
If you’re struggling and want to give up, keep pushing. It’s when you want to quit that the magic starts to happen. Believe in yourself and your own abilities. True power comes from within, after all!
PLAYLISTCardio: Sailor Moon Crystal - "Moon Pride"
Arms: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - "Connect"
Legs: Princess Tutu - "Hall Om Mig"
Core: Card Captor Sakura - "Platinum"As always, if you still (somehow) have energy left after all of that, burn it out in the bonus cardio round:
Cardio Burnout: Revolutionary Girl Utena - "Rinbu -Revolution-" (Updated 03.01.15)For more anime-related workouts, check out my workout tag! 😀
Reblogging because I’ve been doing this, and it’s a hell of a workout. My plan was to do this until I figured out a gym membership, but this works more than my usual gym routine (and truthfully, I can’t do all of it yet! I have weak little arms, so I have to keep doing it to work up to the full arms section).
And just having the magical girl theme is really inspiring, so I recommend trying this out if you’re looking for a workout. (But be warned, unless you’re really fit, it’ll leave you sore.)

(hug) I know what you mean. I hope it gets better soon.

i know what you mean (even tho i’ve fallen off of the regular exercise i had going.) for me i’ve found that doing things like taking nice long baths & putting lotion/moisturizer on helps me feel better about my body as is. societal demands be damned.
(Hugs) Thank you both. I’m feeling a lot better this morning, and just reading these helps loads. ❤ ❤
Usually going to the gym makes me feel really good.
But sometimes it just puts me in the mind set of acting on the impulse to change my body and I fall in the hole of wanting to be smaller instead of just stronger and I hate this hole every time I think I’m done with this sort of thing it creeps up out of nowhere.
I should have realized this was a bad day to go. But then the guilt of not going would make any day a potential bad day for it.
Okay but (sort of) on the subject of senshi body type interpretations.
Chubby Rei
Chubby Rei fighting with Chubbier Usagi. Chubby Rei being quite nearly a literal ball of frustration.
Chubby Rei strong-arming boxy, compact Ami early in their relationship into doing shit like go on the cruise with her. And then later becoming little Ami’s ultimate cuddle friend (Usagi does not know how to be quiet, and Ami likes to read while cuddling. Though eventually Rei will have to share this distinction with Mako).
Chubby Rei getting in an argument with Buff Mako one day and Mako just picking her up to prove a point. “You’re not supposed to be able to do that!” “But I did.” “I am big and strong and right!” “I’m bigger and stronger and righter.”
Chubby Rei getting tackled by curvy-but-athletic Minako. Chubby Rei letting her latch onto her back for all of about ten seconds before falling backwards. “Rei-chan you’re squishing me!” “Don’t jump on me in public.” “You only want me to jump you at home? Okay.” “Damn it, Minako.”
Chubby Rei using her size as a strength. She is unmovable dammit (shut up Mako.) Chubby Rei is a wall protecting her princess.
Chubby Rei being the crush of every girl at T.A. Academy. Chubby Rei the cool, mysterious shrine beauty.
