About a year ago, I mass-unsubscribed myself from everyone on AO3 during a dark moment. I was having trouble writing, and it frustrated me to see other people being productive.
So yesterday I went to check on the page of someone I used to follow, and I realized that they've been busy writing dirty filthy porn about Chairman Rose from Pokémon Sword and Shield. I was like, "God I love that man in a tracksuit," and they were like, "Damn I love the way it shows off his lovehandles," and for a brief and shining moment there was perfect understanding in the universe.
To be super 100% honest, I don't think being into "chubby" people is a fetish. Rather, I find myself attracted to people who look like real humans instead of like celebrities. I know a statement like this doesn't carry much weight when you're talking about characters in Pokémon games, but still. Everyone on social media has been gushing over how hot the Link in the new Zelda trailer is, and I'm like, "My what a sweet young man, someone should knit him a sweater." Meanwhile, I'm also like, "But what if Chairman Rose and the mob boss from the first Pokémon game hatefucked?"
I think someone should probably take these games away from me, but at the same time, I feel like having memorized the names and stats and movesets of hundreds of pokémon when I was a kid should have some sort of payoff for me as an adult.
