The same goes for PStump. Hence why I never EVER read comments on any comm unless I want to die of rage.
The weight thing I totally get and agree with full-heartedly. But what I also see mentioned a lot is not speculating about his state of happiness based on whether or not he's smiling in pictures, and that kind of escapes me. Sure, there are a lot of reasons why he's not smiling (stress! jet lag! airports! aesthetics of photo shoots!), but at the moment the discussion (note: I'm only following you and sunset_mogs, so I might be missing out on a lot of this) seems to be geared to not commenting on anything at all. Which, y'know, RPF fandom. It's not like we have a lot to use besides photos, whether they're from professional shoots or candids, interviews and other appearances.
Mainly I'm just worried about Spencer. Here's where I admit to my helper's complex. I want to make him a sandwich and tell him to take a nap and eat more vegetables. /o\
And, to end this on a light note: a) he seems ready to grow the pornstache into a real beard, of which I FULLY approve, and b) I now gotta go and write some more porn. Porn, my friend, is always the answer.
(I have this random inclination on making a weight-positive challenge. We've got stuff for female characters, PoC characters, but I haven't heard of one where we deal with characters who do fit into today's society's restricted view of "normal weight". Penelope Garcia deserves some love, too. Somebody get on with that. Because the comments when Patrick lost weight (which we know from Pete was on purpose and something Patrick wanted for himself) were so rage-inducing I had to step away from the internet.)
