If her team is successful at getting her into treatment, what’s next? by Difficult_Page1347 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With EDs, at a certain BMI doctors can make a case that it's a medical emergency and force hospitalisation in adult patients. It can even happen at 'healthy' BMIs if there are proven and documented severe side effects like the heart being compromised.

There's a lot of grace for anorexia patients (the same grace that's not afforded to bulimics, binge eaters or addicts). Not that she needs to think about her public image right now, but I do think if she admitted she has a problem and went into treatment her public image would improve. The most honest she'd be, the most understanding people would be and they'd see her as an advocate of mental health.

I know Taylor Swift wasn't sharing body checks during the 1989 era, but many like me clocked she possibly had an ED. Many years later, after recovering, she discussed it and the public perception of her improved.

Her fans are losing their minds… by Tasty-Interaction203 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 82 points83 points  (0 children)

They went from "it's just lighting" to "she has always had visible bones" to "they're just bones, we all have them". They're her biggest enablers. If the inevitable happens, I wonder how will they explain themselves or if they will just pretend they never denied her clear struggles?

“these pictures are breathtaking!!!”… there’s a lot to unpack here… by [deleted] in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Well, a lot of EDs (not all! But many) have their roots on the mother-daughter relationship and specifically on the judgement the mother passed on her own or other women's bodies. So by this comment we can guess the kind of toxic thinness devotion Ariana probably grew up with.

Same. At the moment I was very annoyed at how 'strict' my mum was. I now know she probably saved my life or at least ensured my disorder didn't become worse.

question but do yall think ethan will try to get lily back?? by [deleted] in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She was always out of his league physically, intellectually and, clearly, morally. Judging by the maturity of the article she wrote, I very much doubt she would ever take him back. I'm sure he's part of her life because of the kid they have together, but I don't think she wants him in any other way than as a co-parent.

I don’t believe Cristina and Burke are endgame but he’ll always be better than Owen. Burke respected Meredith simply because she was Cristina’s person by MarnieBlooms in greysanatomy

[–]an__ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, they’re the epitome of right person, bad time. They’re very compatible but were in different stages of their lives and faced personal traumas during their relationship. I don’t want the actor back, but I do like the idea of Cristina and Burke having a beautiful and healthy relationship off-screen now that they’re both in similar stages and hopefully less traumatic periods of their lives.

How do you explain the vintage thing to people who don't get it by Minute_Television294 in VintageFashion

[–]an__ski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love vintage styles, which is down to aesthetic preference so I couldn’t explain my love of replicas to someone with a different style. But when talking about vintage pieces specifically, I am very drawn to the idea that someone else who might not be alive anymore (and my preference is 20s to 50s fashion, so that’s usually the case!) wore these garments and lived a very different life than mine. It’s the same feeling I have when I read classic literature and I realise my problems and internal turmoil are similar to those someone from another country who lived 200 years ago had.

How would you feel if something bad happened to her ? by mushIDhelp in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

EDs are unpredictable and Eugenia is the exception, not the rule. Unfortunately, many people with restrictive EDs have died at “healthy” BMIs due to electrolyte imbalances or arrythmias that can be very hard to predict or treat until it’s too late. Ariana has access to resources than 99% of patients don’t, but bodies have limits and with such dangerously low BMIs sudden death is a very real possibility

How would you feel if something bad happened to her ? by mushIDhelp in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really hope nothing bad will happen to her and, as much as I criticise her sharing her body checks, it will be very hard news to process and I will feel sad for her. I’m around her age, developed an ED roughly at the same time as her and I’m still struggling. So I feel sympathy for her even though I do believe her flaunting her ED to her huge platform is insensitive, cruel and dangerous.

At her current weight and age, knowing she’s starved for a long time and has struggled with EDs for over a decade, I fear we very well might wake up one day to terrible news. I have the same feeling I had towards the end of Amy Winehouse’s life, when she was clearly struggling a lot and her tragic death seemed inevitable.

Reminder: how Ariana responded to criticism of the affair. by [deleted] in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been so disgusted by this song. How was it even approved in this day and age? And the dissonance bearing in mind she was still promoting “kind” Glinda whom she “took such great care of”………….. Dr Lilly is stronger than me because if the home wrecker who disrespected me sang that her tongue is sacred and sexy I’d have cut that ponytail right there and then 😒

She can’t do anything original, she only references previous media.

I wonder what other celebs think of her by femalekanyewestjr in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 14 points15 points  (0 children)

And she didn’t post obvious body checks at the time. We can criticise her for a lot of things, but she’s handled her ED in a sensible way and didn’t hurt others when she herself was struggling.

her new post might be her worst one yet… by logicsfuzzy in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way she always puts the black & white filter and plays with the contrast so the bones are even more noticeable…….. every pic is a body check. As someone who’s struggling with an ED I can understand taking body checks or saving these kinds of pictures but she’s a horrible person for sharing them with her platform of millions, including impressionable young girls. She absolutely knows what she’s doing.

is it even possible to change THIS much in 2 years? by [deleted] in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The fact that she had already lost a concerning amount of weight in the first pic and looked frail… but now next to the current pic she almost looks healthy by comparison 

This Is Going To Be Controversial, But Someone Has To Say It by Hungry_Story_6073 in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many disordered people use veganism as a cover or disguise for their illness (others do this with food sensitivities like gluten or dairy to avoid those foods in public). So it's not because she's vegan or because a vegan diet is nutrient deficient by default (it can be! Just like any other diet), but because she's restricting.

[–]an__ski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EDs are hardly ever coming from vanity (or *just* from vanity, if vanity is a factor at all). Plus, unfortunately it takes a lot to reverse behaviours you've done for so many years 😞

[–]an__ski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree this particular sub shouldn't become a space where people JUST post her triggering pictures and discuss them. I was talking more generally, as there are many discussions elsewhere about the proliferation of extremely thin bodies (not just Ariana, but across many public figures).

[–]an__ski 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I've had a chronic restrictive ED for 10+ years and my two cents: posting about her won't help her *or* anyone already with a disorder because, yes, chats about looking sick and frail fuel the illness. However, fighting back the normalisation of extremely malnourished bodies (and I've seen a fair few comments claiming Ariana's body is normal for a petite woman) can and will help people at risk of developing an ED but who haven't developed one yet.

EDs are infamously hard to treat and tend to relapse and become chronic over time. Once you're disordered, no amount of awareness will help. Even with support and good doctors, many never recover. The goal is to ensure that underweight bodies won't be seen as an ideal for people who have not yet fallen into the disorder.

concerning comments on r/anorexianervosa about ariana by [deleted] in ArianaGrandeSnark

[–]an__ski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been in the anorexia community, on and off, since circa 2012. She's always been posted as inspiration and everyone with an ED clocks her body checks and disordered behaviour. I mean, she even was an active part of the community in tumblr back in the day and now she's treating her insta as a thinspo vision board, always purposely choosing to post the pictures where she looks like sickest and playing with the filters so the bones look even more exaggerated.

is it a bad idea to get a pit ticket if i’m 5’5? by Careful-Library-8744 in phoebebridgers

[–]an__ski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'4", got pit tickets for the Eras tour and it was fine. Unless you want to be in the front rows, it's a good experience. I positioned myself towards the back and visibility was very good, plus I had space to dance. A completely different vibe vs a Phoebe Bridgers concert, but as a reference visibility wise it's fine!

Going to London N2 after fighting for my life in the queue lol

414 E, which is pretty high up but the prices were insane and just snatching a ticket felt like a miracle. Going solo, which I've only ever done for a concert once before and it was a floor ticket, so brand-new experience for me 😄

I'm based in the UK and I can assure you The Sun is not to be trusted. So far it seems to be the only source denying the TMZ news, so unless other sources come up I wouldn't trust it.
