My mom’s always had body image issues
Like she’s a bigger woman
and like she beats on herself for it so much
and like since I’ve been getting into Steven Universe I had an idea
Like, my mom’s a total nerd, she’s been to Comic Con with me
I wanna go to a Con with her dressed as Steven Universe and dress her up like Rose Quartz, maybe get her to watch the show
because of how body positive the show is and how the fans are also body positive and I want my mom to feel beautiful and like people admire her, and I know the Steven Universe fandom totally would because she’s a strong, beautiful woman and shit and I just
Like we’re poor as shit right now and it wouldn’t be an immediate thing but I would totally do this when I have money, which will be soon since I plan to start working after top surgery, and being able to cosplay and be comfortable with my body as well since I’ll be post op would be really neat
Like my mom and I both have such issues with our physical selves and I wanna show my mom that things are changing and how beautiful everyone else in the fandom thinks it is that Rose is big and beautiful. Like she’s done so much for me with supporting my transition, I want to do something for her that’ll effect her just as deeply. I want my mom to feel good about her body, too.
Basically I think if this racked up some notes and I showed it to her and proved to her that a bunch of people agree that they’d love to see her cosplay as Rose Quartz, I think she might consider it. Like she’s such a mom, and she’s played a maternal roll even in the lives of some of my friends who weren’t so lucky to have such an accepting parent. And I think if I was able to get a bunch of people to tell her how beautiful she is and how inspirational it’d be to see her cosplay and crush her doubts about her self image, it’d make her really, really happy. And she deserves that. And I think a body positive mom-son Comic Con outing would be so fitting for our relationship.
But I wouldn’t want to tell her yet. I still need to gather money, for the outfits and wigs and whatever else, and for the trip depending on where we go. So it’d be maybe even a year or two out, but I’d want to start planning now and it’d be really awesome if people saw this and gave their support and reblogged or liked or whatever. I’ll try my hardest to follow through, though I don’t yet know if this is the route I want to take. This is just the most meaningful idea I’ve had beyond just paying her back in cash for all the medical bills I’ve cost her. But I think its a really good idea, and if other people agreed I’d totally stick with it in the long run. If enough people were interested, I’d let her know earlier on and tell her to make a blog or something to keep people posted, maybe try to convince her to do some other cosplay or something because even though she’s heavy there’s a massive body-positive community on here and I’m sure she’d be welcomed. And she loves helping people and giving advice, and she’s so accepting and I just really wish I could get her internet famous or something because she’s fucking awesome and also because I think she’d really enjoy touching the lives of other people and helping others however she can. She’s really an inspiration. I just can’t praise her enough for how much she’s helped me, so I want to gather as many people as I possibly can to lend me a hand.
But yeah. The first step to any of this is just..putting it out there I guess. I’m considering it heavily, regardless of how many notes this gets. Like I think it’d be a super rad idea even if nobody saw this post and I just decided to follow through on the idea in the future, its definitely more likely to happen if people take an interest though, just because I’m spitballing ideas in my head and I might come up with something better than going to Comic Con; but I doubt I could come up with something better than taking her to Comic Con because an insane amount of people online think she’s gorgeous and that she should dress up as a gorgeous character because she can pull it off and she should feel like a princess. So I’m putting it out here now just in case the latter is a possibility.
Soo…like, reblog, comment nice things for her if you think this is an idea that should be followed through on. I’d appreciate it.
This is a beautiful idea, and deserves at least a dozen more notes.
I hope it all goes well with you. Get the biggest pink wig money can buy!
