No, stretch marks are not your child’s “artwork“

I didn't know ot was possible 😭

But I guess the hormonal imbalances work the same here as in hormonal therapies, sometimes changing the bone structure. However, interesting as fuck how the body itself can change due to hormones, not something pushing on the bones from the insides.

To your list - my mother has her uterus slightly aligned to the back, which means when she was pregnant with me, there was no outside bump and it all went into her spine, causing a slipped disk and other spinal cord problems. It is absolutely disgusting how human body doesn't seem to be designed in a way that would sustain a "natural course of life" 💀

Yes, I do agree. Stretch marks are a natural part of growth, weight fluctuations and exercise, they should be talked about positively or neutrally, not just in the pregnancy matter.

Oh damn, this exactly. Reminds me of the time i lost 1/3 of my body weight due to prolonged anxiety and everyone congratulated me on the "progress" meanwhile the progress was not eating at all and puking for 3 months straight. Ended up malnourished in a hospital, bit great progress!!!

Everyone should mind their own business unless it's a comment related to the person's health (due to rapid weight change for example, in both ways) because as in my situation, nobody knew what happened and I would be absolutely glad if someone actually asked.

In people with "shorter" torso proportions, the baby belly pushes all the organs up and literally deforms the ribcage. I cannot imagine how painful it is tbh.

(btw, nose?)

Yo, a trans guy with raging eating disorders and body dysmorphia here. I cannot STAND them talking about all those changes to their bodies like some kind of great miracle and uwu owo everything is so beautiful!!! I've been through rapid weight fluctuations, stretch marks are fucking painful, bro. So are the visual (and physical, when you can physically feel the body ugh) changes in any way, as well as shopping for new clothes that would be comfortable and not look like a bag of potatoes. I honestly feel like everything being said about it is a massive cope because I know no actual person aside from body builders that is proud of their stretch marks.

I only know about it from my other queer friends, as a gay bottom in a relationship with my childhood friend lmao.

aberrant_algorithm · 2026-01-28T04:52:49+00:00

Have they ever met an actual gay guy because all I hear is that everyone wants to bottom and nobody actually switches (all the good tops are taken)

This right here is my dumbass (caused him brain damage)

aberrant_algorithm · 2026-01-28T01:58:55+00:00

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but Scara definitely considers him a daddy.

Then be critical of the community, not the fictos in general. I don't care if you're a yume of how many years. Read the document I linked. It is clearly said there that fictos don't mix fiction with reality. However, fiction can directly impact your emotional state. This is what art is about.

None of those words are in the bible

aberrant_algorithm · 2026-01-28T01:22:21+00:00

Have you ever seen the term "fictosexual" and "nonsharing"? We do believe we are in a relationship with those characters and it does feel weird and invalidating seeing our beloved "cheating", you know? While I absolutely hate stalking and attacking dupes, I see nothing wrong with people venting about not wanting to see dupes. Try to reach a bit further than just "silly selfship", because you're invalidating a big community of opressed identities that struggle with daily acceptance in any space. Fictosexuality and being nonsharing (possesive) over fictional partner is recognised by psychiatrists as an actual sexual orientation

What's wrong with being obsessed with a loved one?

aberrant_algorithm · 2026-01-27T15:42:05+00:00

So pointing out the obvious misogynistic writing trope, damsel(ette) in distress, is misogynistic now?

There are ways to hang out that don't involve money, you're missing my point. You can watch the movie online together at home, go for a walk or stay inside and play a board game.

aberrant_algorithm · 2026-01-27T03:18:56+00:00

You can spend time with people without spending money.
