#BerryPositivity
Added 2022-01-27 05:00:03 +0000 UTCWhile most commended Shoshanna for her refreshing honesty, dealing with her condition & the recent self-image issues it brought about, a few detractors were quick to point out that just prior to the very incident that set all this into motion, she was thoroughly warned as to what might happen. They roundly criticized her post as an attempt to “cling to relevancy.” Still, her post went viral, & brought visibility to those with very similar struggles, the world over.

Was originally planning on doing a “vignette” in the form of a bunch preceding comments, some positive, some negative, some raunchy, some from just spambots. Then I almost turned that into her regretting the post, going back & forth reading them with her publicist. But then, in a way, that felt a little too much like the other cynical body positivity celeb image I did a few months back. Whereas this was intended to be done more at face value. I was looking to show someone who’d been berrified living with the ongoing effects & attempting to remain upbeat about their new juicing regimen in their feeble attempt to remain normal-ish. Anyway with the background & the texture on her tights, then formatting it into a post within a post, I was already burning a little too much time on it. Kind of just want to move onto the next.
Attached are both a timelapse & full res image. Both go all the way up until putting it into the format of the social media post. That was all done in a different program so it wasn’t as easy to keep showing the process. And the full res just seemed a little more straightforward. Besides, the template I got for the post was quite a bit closer to the natural res of post, so blowing it up would look gross & boxy. I thought it might be a little too clean, & did think about making her leaky but I figured that in reality, this influencer would already be mortified showing herself blue & with such a massive ass as it was. But hey, maybe I can do a variant down the line. Anyway, I hope you enjoy some of the mini easter eggs included.

Yeah, maybe for her bravery, she'll land a lucrative branding deal to a bespoke Blueberry designer that uses juice-wicking synthetic fabrics. If anything, we might see her a bit rounder, but I don't know exactly if & when that would be just yet.

2022-01-27 17:02:09 +0000 UTCI personally like the "I got very fat but I'm learning to accept it." It's realistic. The whole intentional WG thing usually strikes me as contrived

2022-01-27 13:58:07 +0000 UTCI like showing the aftermath, especially if there’s promise of it being an ongoing thing. Was trying to make her look like an influencer in the Hollywood Hills, so berry problems aside, her life doesn’t have much in the way of struggles anyway. At first, I was toying with the idea of doing a slideshow like before & after frame of her pre & post juicing. But the “after” was taking long enough as it was & in my head, I kind of thought that even the juiced version would take a lot for her to post, she’d probably be mortified of posting the “before.” That said, maybe her supportive followers encourage her to really open up & show it some point down the line? No promises, but that’d be neat to show. And now I already have the Instagraph template ready to go LoL

2022-01-27 12:24:08 +0000 UTCGood eye. When I found the template that had those slots, I immediately decided to plug them with older works but then I remembered that family farm picture had a bunch of profile picture still images baked in. Feel slightly lazy for just returning to that well, but maybe if I do variants, I’ll switch them up some.

2022-01-27 12:19:24 +0000 UTCThanks! Straight Alts are kind of easy & I can look to do variants. Would maybe have to switch it up a little though if it were a post like this. A straight body positivity post from gaining a bit of weight is a little too straightforward. Maybe make the gains intentional? Or just a “fuck it,” letting herself go sort of post? Hmm I’ll think on it

2022-01-27 12:17:27 +0000 UTCI've always loved the "living post-berry transformation accident" concept. It would be cool to see more posts from her, perhaps showing some of her day to day struggles
