<p>Yes it appears that asking for the blob of a variant actually gets you the original image not the resized version:</p>
<pre><code>irb(main):005:0> u.avatar.variant(:resize => "50x50>").blob
=> #<ActiveStorage::Blob id: 17138, key: "gVCyCqBtcEZgv6TGpPtbyK7Q", filename: "DSC_0518.JPG", content_type: "image/jpeg", metadata: {"identified"=>true, "width"=>6000, "height"=>4000, "analyzed"=>true}, byte_size: 6219460, checksum: "3zLkl1qlvCuxWgDelFXIGA==", created_at: "2019-07-15 19:27:36">
irb(main):006:0> u.avatar.blob
=> #<ActiveStorage::Blob id: 17138, key: "gVCyCqBtcEZgv6TGpPtbyK7Q", filename: "DSC_0518.JPG", content_type: "image/jpeg", metadata: {"identified"=>true, "width"=>6000, "height"=>4000, "analyzed"=>true}, byte_size: 6219460, checksum: "3zLkl1qlvCuxWgDelFXIGA==", created_at: "2019-07-15 19:27:36">
