Why I Love Entrapta

Content: OCD, Eating disorders, disordered eating, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

I’m putting a cosplay together for Entrapta because I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER LIKE RIGHT AWAY. I love her voice and obv I love that she’s purple Peridot, but her trait of only eating tiny food really caught me.

Her thing with tiny food seems more than just a joke or an aside. It comes off to me as a symptom of a neurological condition, which is something I personally relate to.

I was diagnosed with OCD during childhood and much of my symptoms had to do with food. For example, whenever I ate anything like trix or m&m’s I had to organize them by color and eat each color in a specific order every time. I would also memorize arbitrary sequences of food, like menus or catalogues.

Entrapta has a relationship with food that I really haven’t seen in media. I’ve seen other eating disorders portrayed, but none like this in a kid’s cartoon. It’s an abnormal trait of her’s and the way it’s presented seems genuine to me and not like it was included just to be funny.

I’ve seen people with many different neurological abilities relate to Entrapta and I think that’s really cool. Not sure if the creator had a particular condition in mind but she’s a refreshing character for lots of us.

Doodle by me because I’m trash
