The community post long in the making. If anyone remembers me, I uploaded videos on a channel called TheIronDuke many many years ago. I figured I might as well say something and maybe get the channel started again. Who knows, but feel free to read.

@AriGrandeStats@peachesngrande This was meant to be the start of something new for her. A time where should could be free and unapologetically herself. But people have twisted and turned it into something she should be shamed for. I just hope she's surrounded by people who love and support her.
@AriGrandeStats@peachesngrande This whole discourse has been so exhausting and brings up so many memories of when people said my body looked sickly, scary, freaky - all because I was naturally thin no matter how much I ate. I didn’t have an ED, but people still commented anyway. I feel so heartbroken for her.
@vanbosic@eternalsaith It’s not that I don’t see it - I defs do and I could see it especially in the Petal MV. I just think there needs to be a bit more room for nuance in the conversation cos at the end of the day, all we can do is speculate, which rly doesn’t seem helpful for anyone, including her.
@eternalsaith -of showing “concern”. I never had an ED, but I was just naturally thinner no matter how much sport I played or food I ate.
Ari doesn’t deserve any of this and the whole discourse has been so disheartening and lowkey triggering a lot of past trauma. I feel so bad for her :(
@eternalsaith I said this on another thread but as a guy, amount of times I’ve had people comment on my thinness throughout my life out of the blue was so damaging to my sense of self esteem. And I could never call it out cos in their heads calling me skinny and comparing me to them was a way-
@ninglvl We don’t have an idea of what she is or isn’t going through, and it’s not our place to know until she says so.

@ninglvl I said this on another thread but the amount of times I’ve had people comment on my thinness throughout my life out of the blue for faux concern or whatever was so damaging to my sense of self esteem. I never had an ED, I was always just thin and ppl are never satisfied with that
@thatfemmeismine -ok with it because “at least ur skinny” is so harmful and does not take into account any biological processes with an individual’s body. Comments and jabs never help. We have no idea what she’s going through, people need to show respect and leave it at that.
@thatfemmeismine -inconsiderate things to say, and people thought it was normal, and that’s as a guy. There was nothing I can do about it, I would eat, I would exercise, nothing changed. This idea that being thin means ur automatically open to any kind of comment about your body and u have to be-
@arianatorswildt@missenell Picking just one feels impossible but it’s gotta be “warm”, it just feels so much like a tight hug and I’m so proud of Ari for finding her love and happiness again 🤍
Gotta say, I seriously do not like the Percy face, like at all. Something about it rly annoys me and I can’t place it. I need to see another expression bad
TheIronDuke has been inactive for years, but the new show finally got me to upload my thoughts on Thomas for the first time in 8 years. Here's to 2026!

The lighting and scenery detailing actually look pretty hectic. I do love all the lil details in the ground looks super nice. I hope that’s a consistent thing with the actual episodes and sets.
For some reason a part of me thought the body movements would be canned, but obviously that was wishful thinking. I do wish that the movements felt a biiiiit heavier and had more weight behind tbem, but it is what it is and ultimately it’s fine.
