I'm a fat woman with body image issues. But honestly: My body and my weight aren't important when there's so much else going on in my life. You can't spend your while existence hating how you look, or worrying about your weight. Fat women deserve to be main characters. We don't need to constantly focus on body image issues.
i agree

There's a great YA contemporary with a body positive fat MC, it's called "Puddin'" by Julie Murphy
Seconded wholeheartedly 💫
Out of all the languages in the world you choose to speak *facts*
I feel like reading stories about fat people being self conscious about their self-image is the same with most LGBTQ+ books being about coming out. GIVE US SOMETHING NEW
EXACTLY
I'm not fat and if I was that isnt a bad thing at all but I am part of the LGBTQ community and I would love if we werent either going through such awful things all the time, dead or not happy in our given relationships.

Also this is literally the parental dynamic in most of her books... or at least the three I've read. And did the main character go to Princeton? Jesus you're a writer, get an imagination.

the protagonist of Big Summer talking to the Asian character is giving me the same energy as problematic authors when they get called out

The main girl really said: “ we’re all minorities, we’re in the glee club😌😌”
EXACTLY
The ignorance of it all
@Thur Chan she ain't that kind of minority. Her being fat/plus sized shouldnt be her entire personality. You know the minority: the ones denied marriages, the vote, equal pay, adoption just basic human rights over all. She may not be skinny but everything else about her screams privilege
@Thur Chan its baffling to me how she thought it was comparable. I know this isnt the oppression Olympics but come on really?
@@lesbiangoddess290 Yeah like fatshaming and developing ED's are horrible but last I checked people weren't getting wrongfully arrested, hate crimed or being discriminated for being unable to shed a few pounds

"we're all people
the fact that I just started watching this after rewatching the hot pterodactyl boyfriend video..........
That Asian character's monologue was actually based off of me dramatically unloading my trauma onto my therapist in my head before our first session.
Why is this me tho.

@@withcindy cindy can never be cancled she has a cool haircut
yall big summer was a mess
the main character actually believing that her being a scholarship student was equivalent to immigrant struggles was so absurd i actually started laughing
"I WAS A SCHOLARSHIP KID." Oh my god I laughed out loud. "We're all people." "I know what it's like to be different." Seriously? Because their issues are in any way equal hahahaha. I hope the author sees this review and takes criticism to heart and gets better for the future.
i couldnt believe my eyes
@@withcindy if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep (okay I’ll stop)
I’m just wondering why nobody’s talking about the 30 page monologue that was supposed to convey the “we’re all people” message? Like wtf was that?
What in the girl meets Word shit is this
cindy reads so many terrible books sometimes I genuinely wonder how she finds the room in her heart to enjoy literature
we'll never know
me: feeling sad™ at 1 am
cindy: here's an escapism, shthead 💋❤️
from one saddie to another i hope ur doing ok
Its 21:85 where i live 😩
I feel called out
I honestly hate reading with main characters that hate themselves. It’s because it’s rarely used to create genuine conflict and is usually used just to make the main character seem humble and pitiable, rather than fleshing them out.
Late reply but I absolutely agree! It's usually written off as something they tell us in the beginning and then its never brought up again too. Like that horrible trope where main characters act like they're super plain, or ugly compared to other people but end up being a classic, well, MC! Otherwise, if they do bring it up throughout the book its just for pity humbling points or to use the "cure your trauma" storyline. Insecurities and low self-esteem could easily do so much in a good book, but they usually end up trashing the entirety of the plot.
I fully support Cindy documenting her culinary journey because its like a murder mystery. I watch her prepare the ingredients like every step is a clue. Then when she tells us how it tasted (too salty) I can go back and watch her pour like a tablespoon and a half of salt into the dish to really appreciate the foreshadowing towards the reveal. lolol I really enjoyed this video and I always love to get your opinions on books so I can add/delete them from my own tbr accordingly.
glad u enjoyed my culinary journey :P
watching cindy absolutely massacre those onions was weirdly therapeutic
im glad

Cindy: explaining Big Summer's plot
Me trying to figure out how the book turns into a murder mystery: Where am I? How did I get here?
questions i ask myself as well
Totally agree about being tired of fat MCs having their body image issues be the main conflict! One I recently read was Love is a Revolution which features a fat MC but the conflict in the story revolves around her actions and not her size! I would recommend that one for anyone looking to read about a fat MC who doesn’t constantly talk about their body!
oooo thx for the rec!!
Reminds me of the show Shrill! Although a part of the first season tackled MC's self-image (which I guess is needed to introduce that part of her psyche, at least to the general public who may have never seen that type of POV before) but the show didn't drag on it and instead tackled other aspects of her life as well. Career, love/sex life, friendship. I especially enjoyed season three.

I thought you said "cook a book" for a sec there 👁👄👁 and I was like damn a book was that bad-

@@withcindy does anything you make?
@@withcindy Just drizzle some cheese sauce on it and the part if it that's cheese sauce will taste good at least.
Fried book 🤤
Man, you know your life is sad when that one part about that stereotypical Asian character and her extremely fake dialogues actually make you tear up-
NOOOOOO
My cousin just looked over and asked, "is that a cooking video?"
Hmmm...SIS I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS DONT EXPECT ANYONE TO EXPLAIN WHAT CINDYS VIDEOS ARE!!! WE DONT KNOW
i dont know either
I love these videos but i’m always scared she will end up chopping her fingers or setting the house on fire. She cut her finger in my dream and she just stopped for a second and was like,”oh, i guess we’re using blood as part of the seasoning now.”
i have only cut my finger ONCE
That would not be surprising if it happened in real life tho

why not both
This video cured my hypotension.

good call
“Tw : just don’t read it” my new motto for bad books
Cindy, your ACOWAR video is iconic. I regularly use a gif of you pouring tequila into a water bottle in my family group chat.
Love that!
Lol what Asian AM girl would actually reveal their tragic backstory in monologue form to a white girl? Being raised Asian, means we keep all of our trauma and struggles to ourselves, except to close friends who are like family, and some family members. I barely even tell my friends anything. The only one who really gets to know race specific troubles are my fellow Asian friends, and my bestie!
Trust me, as a very large woman, I am also tired of reading about fat people struggling with their weight. It's just another way to reduce marginalized people to their struggles, which in this case is body image 🙄😒 It's been done so much it's boring...
Cindy deciding to read a bad book, knowing it will be horrible but is reading it *because* it’s horrible: “This was a bad idea. I wasted my time.”
the fact that colleen hoover is quoted on the wrong familys cover tells u everything u need to know honestly
so you don't like Colleen Hoover or you're saying it tells you everything you need to know since she's biased because she's best friends with Tarryn Fisher?

The things I do for y'all
Mental illnesses and sexual assault are used as plot devices all the time in books, TV shows, and movies and it's so disappointing. I'd be more interested in how that character went through their trauma not them overcoming it in 5 minutes because ✨true love✨.

Cindy (27:20): it was too salty :/
Also Cindy: 14:08 and 19:07
If that's how much salt your recipe said to use, sue them 😭😭 Parmesan dishes almost never need added salt the cheese is already naturally super salty 😭 my condolences
Everybody has that one friend that has no idea how to do anything but still does them anyways because she cares and that's not Cindy. Cindy does it for the views and we love that ❤️.
exactly
Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves is a great story where plus-sized Snow White doesn't have strong insecurity about her body. She loves herself and takes pride in her strength.
Namjoon and Cindy cutting onions upside down makes me so anxious damn

Tired: watching Cindy's videos during my own free time

Inspired: watching it at 4am to calm yourself down after a nightmare
Watching Cindy talk about books and attempt to cook is really relaxing

You hit the nail on the head with plus size books having so much self hate. It gets so annoying like everyone is horrible to her and thinks she's disgusting, except the main guy he does the bare minimum and he's so awesome 🤦♀️
I'm not even "plus size" because my size ranges from M- XL depending on the clothing but holy shit it's so triggering where I was thinking do people think about me that?? I wish authors stop doing that
seriously!!
You should read The House in the Cerulean Sea! It’s gay and magical and I just finished it. It was a breath of fresh air and so wholesome. Recommended if you need something light but still heartfelt.
everyone say thank u to auntie cindy for saving our monday

the fact that those are two different spellings annoys me. Auntie Cindy. Auntie Cindie. Aunty Cindy. Angry face >: (... : P
Oh Lord, I was waiting for your rant on A Court of Silver Flames.. Like, I check if it’s still in your “currently reading” on goodreads every day
ive been slooooooow at reading it
As a fat woman, thank you very much for bringing this up Cindy. Idk why people seems to think that fat people are caricatures rather than just normal individuals who have bills to worry about, tasks to juggle everyday and relationship to maintain. I have hobbies and interest too rather than just fixating on the fact that i am fat. Sorry for the rant but i've been burnt before by people who assumed i should be embarrased by the fact that i am fat🤷🏻♀️
A tale for the time being is one of my favorite books despite Ruth’s story being a drag. I’m so glad to see it in this video.
i don’t think cindy understands how much better she makes my days
🥺🥺🥺
it would be really cool if you did a cooking video with recipes inspired by the books you are currently reading, or even ones that you've read in the past!
That's a great idea!
"I was a scholarship kid!"
So you were privileged enough to get a scholarship? How... devastating?? Is that supposed to be an oppression flex? I'm so confused, I WISH I had gotten a scholarship.
I love how this is a recurring segment in your channel now
me too!
I honestly love the plus size representation but when all we see is “I am so fat” be the entire plot it gets exhausting. We are people too, and while I suffer from body issues I’m not going around 24/7 thinking about how fat I am. It honestly bothers me.
Also you’re seriously my favorite person ever, & I absolutely love watching you cook lol
I cry at the idea that people think salt is a SPICE, no Chelsea, it's an INGREDIENT, turmeric is a spice

I love a tale for the time being, and I agree about Ruth's chapters not being as interesting but I did appreciate how they really felt like they were written by two different people, making the diary feel so real (especially with Ruth putting herself and her real life into the book- Oliver is really her husband etc., and footnoting the diary), same with Haruki #1 and his diary entries. Also I live on Vancouver Island and go on trips to the islands in Desolation Sound (where Ruth's story takes place) so it was very cool to relate and hear about places where I live cause its a small little part of the world over here!!
Me who doesn't read books but likes Cindy: Yes, spill the tea
also can we just take a second to appreciate the fact Cindy literally responds to every comment LIKE WHAT A QUEEN 💗🥰
I try!!
I borrowed “A Tale from the Time Being” from my mom not thinking too much about it. When I went back home to read it I broke into pieces. I related to some of Nao’s struggles and cultural identity. It’s definitely a great book but you gotta be in a very tough and stable mental condition to read it
Idk why but listening to Cindy talk about things or cook in the background while I do schoolwork or draw is so comforting? Even if she's ranting lol 😅
aww im glad!!
Ahh I’m so happy you read A Tale for the Time Being, I love it sm!! I lived in Japan for a while and it’s really nice to read a novel that doesn’t romanticize it like a lot of non Japanese authors (or ppl in general) do when talking about it.
Also I agree about Ruth’s voice. Honestly I feel like it was just so personal to the author that she kept a lot of it in the book which is lowkey a mood so🤷🏻♀️
It's so good!
I’m so happy you liked a tale for the time being!! I read it during a really difficult time for me and it helped me understand my depression. This book has always stood out to me and I’m just happy to see other people reading it.
I love that Cindy is just standing over the onions even though she said they made her cry
on another note if anyone wants wlw recs i HIGHLY rec "girls made of snow and glass" and "girl, serpent, thorn", both by melissa bashardoust they are MASTERPIECES
A Tale For The Time Being was the first book in a long time that I devoured from start to finish - I could not get enough of it! Nao's story was so compelling and raw and also somehow, funny (and while Ruth's part was boring I felt it built anticipation about how Nao's story ends). My favourite part had to be the relationship she formed with her grandmother and her father - that shit had me SOBBING. I was so scared when I saw this book in the thumbnail but I'm so glad you liked it!!!
i feel the storm coming too
time to run for shelter
Another ‘poisoning men mystery novel’ is “The Lost Apothecary” by Sarah Penner! It just recently came out and I really like it so far!
im reading that right now!
when im kinda lonely i just watch cindy because it feels like im talking to my wine aunt
Awww I'm glad ♥️
Honestly, as someone who was diagnosed borderline obese in middle school and has had body issues ever since, the only time I've ever *liked* someone writing about being fat and all the insecurities that have come with it (for me personally) was Blythe Baird's spoken poem "When the Fat Girl Gets Skinny", and that's only because our experiences were so similar that I knew exactly what she was talking about. The imagery in her poem is so detailed that every time I listen to it I'm sent back to me middle school memories. It's like, yeah, body issues aren't the only problems we have, but personally I feel like the reason it gets so annoying is because most authors write body issues so shallowly.
Tl;dr, listen to Blythe Baird and Button Poetry in general if you want something short but *so good*.
Cidny is always saying she's a mess or her room is a mess when her kitchen is looking fineeee. Better than mine by a hand full.

Cut to me laughing so hard after Cindy says “one large pinch of salt” *pours like 2 tablespoons in* and then “it was too salty” 😂😂
I impulsively bought A Tale for the Time Being because the cover looked cool and the description seemed pretty interesting , so now that I watched your review I’m even more excited to read it
Hope you enjoy it!
forget therapy, *this is what i need to be happy*
almost 30 min of therapy
I love this content where you easily went on from explaining the book to explaining your cooking. I would never know where your monologue ends up
Just gotta say. A Tale for the Time Being is exquisite and hit hard, but with a subtle uplift. Glad you covered it.
