god those are good shoulders to have.
HER SHOULDERS! I KNOW!
What I like is– I mean, there’s a thing, where sometimes women have broad shoulders, and I get that they get made fun of for that, and i totally get that, and it’s unfortunate and terrible.
but there’s also this thing that women with narrow shoulders can be super muscular and yet when they just stand there un-flexed they just look chubby, and that’s what she’s got going on, if she’s standing with her arms down she just looks like a sort of chubby woman, but when she picks them up it’s like OH MY GOD
because she is a solid and small ball of muscle and you can’t tell that basically all of the bulk of her upper body is biceps, triceps, deltoids, lats, and all of those back muscles holding her shoulder blades on. With a broad-shouldered woman or a man, that’s much more obviously what’s going on. But with someone with a narrow frame like hers, it’s much less obvious, from the front at least, that the bulk is all muscles.
And I just think it’s an under-appreciated aesthetic and I am going to steal it for this character. (Only taller. Grace is five feet two, I saw farther down on her feed, and let’s not dwell on how long I spent scrolling, LOL.)
