Me: Maybe “I love you” is a snuggle with words.
Him: Maybe a snuggle is “I love you” with hands and body and stuff.
…and I get to wake up to this sort of thing all the time

You seem a little confused. I don’t do any of the redraws on my tumblr, a lot of different people do, so the idea that there’s one style you have an issue about is already wrong, much less the idea that all of them (or even most of them) are of “pudgy girl that doesn’t exercise.” If you do have an issue with any redraw though, I suggest you contact the redrawer and tell them, or leave a comment on it.
Also “still keep an athletic build” seems to imply that the original image did have an accurate image of what an athletic woman looks like, which often isn’t the case.
Oh come on! We all know there’s just one …

… for women …
… to look …
… athletic …
… OH WAIT.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST STOP WITH YOUR BODY-SHAMING BULLSHIT, ANON, AND THINK FOR HALF A SECOND BEFORE YOU SPEAK. HOW ABOUT THAT INSTEAD?
It’s funny because I believe I’ve put this on my blog before too. I’ve definitely put up the one showing the female swimmer and other female athletes. You would think somebody who is such an expert on my tumblr would have seen those while looking back.

I really don’t want to turn this into a referendum on the redraws. I’ve known for some time that there are some people who don’t like the redraws, or who think some people shouldn’t be doing the redraws at all, and I think that the OP, even though they weren’t talking about those issues, hit…
I think the people complaining about the not-completely-pro redraws are making a fuss over nothing. I agree with you that it’s people getting into the spirit of things and having fun, and hell—at least they’re trying. Methinks some people are a little too fond of criticism for it’s own sake, not anyone’s good.
A wise woman once told me: You don't lose your virginity when you have sex. You don't "lose" anything. You gain an experience and you have your sexual debut.
I feel like this can apply to anyone. Whether you’re saving your first time for marriage or you’re simply waiting til it’s right for you and your parter I don’t think sex means loss. I think the concept of “losing” a piece of you is harmful to peoples’ minds. Like you’re less of a person because of having sex? Anyways, sexual debut is kind of an awesome term.

This is my friend’s dog and she’s gotten him through a lot of suicidal thoughts. She was an abused dog too and he would hate to give her up. Signal boosting because Ryan and Cordy need to stay together!

It is not entirely surprising, then, that some animal people, upon encountering their animal aspects, erroniously believe that their animals are to blame for their emotional responses. Animals, after all, have a reputation for passionate responses to threats, dangers, or hungers. Animals are seen as wild and free, and believed to do whatever they like, responding to everything by instinct. Having an “animal nature” can offer up a temptingly quick and simple explanation (or excuse) for one’s emotional actions.

I can look back now, of course, and realize that the bear was always there. She and I are one. I simply became more aware of her – and every other part of me – as I became angry. I chose the violent response to the situation, myself. The presence of the bear only meant that I clawed instead of punched and growled instead of yelled. I can easily imagine, then, that other animal people draw similar conclusions.
