Umbrella Academy Season 2 Hot Take:
Klaus wasn’t out of character or poorly written this season, everyone else’s arcs just got better. Everyone definitively associated him with being the best last season and now that he isn’t (subject to opinion of course) y’all feel robbed.

Do y’all remember the order they posted the promotional pics in?

And now we know that they’re scattered across time.
I think this is the order they’re going to arrive in Dallas!!!
h-how do you draw plus size/fat characters?? I genuinely wanna know I don't know how,, any tips?
Okay so!!! First and most important-- look!! up!! and!! study!! fat!! bodies!! We come in many shapes and sizes, height doesnt necessarily mean a tall person cant be chubby. Short doesnt necessarily mean obese. Different bodies hold fat differently!! get well practiced in it by seeing real fat models!
Fat is heavy and soft! It hangs and rounds out a person’s shapes. Bones arent as defined and gives the entire face a kind of round, chubby vibe!! The key to making someone look a lil bigger is to overline what youd think a thinner limb would be. Round it out. Shape it out. Angles are less visible!
These are two of my plus sized characters!! Sunflare and Belladonna! I tend to draw fat bodies with two styles!! Stylized and realistic!! Thankfully theres been a slowly growing list cartoon rep that holds both of these styles! Seek them out, see how theyre animated. See how they are respected (Glimmer from Shera, russel from up, etc.)
BEING FAT IS NOT A BAD THING!!!
we need to start including plus sized characters not only in media but in our own ocs if we want to normalize it and get rid of the stupid beauty standards we’re taught as kids.

“People think that fangirls are bubbly, silly, and overly happy and hysterical teenagers when in reality were the complete opposites. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns, we deal with depression and suicide and eating disorders. We deal with rejection and loss and pain. We deal with hours of hell in school with people we didn’t wish to be with. Fangirls aren’t fangirls just because they’re naturally happy people, they’re fangirls because it’s actually one of the only sources of happiness they have left.”
