I drew mine with the handle on the left. I am left handed. English is my native and main language.

I normally have my drinks on my non-dominant side when sitting though. I have a bad habit of grabbing my drink while still eating with my utensils. I tend to move the mug to left side when I'm done drinking. I also tend to refuse to use the handle on most mugs and will just hold the mug directly. I mainly use the handle when the drink is too hot or the mug is a normal shape.

If I am walking while holding a Mug, I will use my left hand.

I need your help with a hypothesis!

For context: My linguistics professor and I got into a discussion after a test she did with us, and I was of the opinion that the reason for the results was different from the one she offered, so she encouraged me to test my theory.

What I need

All you need to do is draw a coffee cup (with a handle, not the disposable stuff) and then answer three questions.

I don't need to see the coffee cup. You can draw it wherever you like; on a piece of paper, digitally, in the sand, on a foggy window. Anything works. It does not have to be good. A doodle is fine.

You have to draw the coffee cup before you see the questions. This is very important. If you decide to help me with this, please doodle the coffee cup before you keep reading.

Assuming you have drawn the coffee cup, I now need you to answer these three questions:

On which side did you draw the handle?

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Do you primarily write using the Latin alphabet or a different one? (please specify which)

More context

Most people will draw the handle on the right side. My professor says it's because most people are right-handed, so they draw the handle in the direction that would be comfortable for them to pick up.

I said drawing it on the right side just felt more comfortable to my hand and argued it's probably because we write a bunch of letters like that. B, b, D, P, p, R all look like a tiny "handle on the right side" and are all a straight line followed by a round one (so "cup first, handle second," like most people draw cups). The Latin alphabet doesn't have letters like that that face the other way, except maybe d, depending on how you write it, so it makes sense to me that people writing mostly Latin letters would go with the handle on the right side.

Which means that I need to know what Asians, Arabs and Greeks do and if the distribution of left and right sides of handles differs from the Latin alphabet group. Cyrillic seems to favor right, too, though it'd be interesting to see if there are differences.

If there are, my theory is right. Doubly so if there is a sizeable increase in a group whose alphabet has letters that benefit the left side choice.

So feel free to spread this to as many people as you like and put the answers in the comments or the tags of a reblog. The more answers I get, the better I can assess whose theory is better.

Thank you for your help!

I was playing around with some new rainbow brushes and decided to draw 4oUr

It's low saturation so it's like ✨ essence of rainbow 🌈

[Image description:

4 anime head drawings, each of a different character and at a different angle. Top left has short dark hair and is looking up and to the right. Top right has long light hair and is facing left while looking back at the camera. Bottom left has long dark hair and looking down to the right. Bottom right has long light hair and is looking to the upper right.

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

I want to make a special thanks to all of you paying Patrons. After what Patreon takes you gave me $280 this year ;0; That's an average of $23 a month. That is about 2 weeks of fresh veggies every month for my whole family, or you can see it as paying for 5 of the specialist doctor's appointments I had this year. I am extremely grateful!!!! ;0;

[Comic script

Panel 1 A closed door

Panel 2 The door is open and the personification of 2024 is being kicked out. Someone in side is yelling "AND STAY OUT!!"

Panel 3 Mori slapping their hands: "Good Riddance! That jerks the reason I grow my own tinsel now" The personification of 2025 is sipping tea in the back ground. The room is on fire.

Panel 4 Mori looking at 2025 and gesturing to the room: "2025, as you can see, the bar is very low" The full room is in the shot. The fire came in from outside through a broken window.

Panel 5 Close up of Mori. Fire is reflected on their clothing. Mori: "Do. Not. Lower. It."

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

Meeting people through my reblog account is crazy. "Do you have any OCs?" "Have you ever written fanfic or anything?"

It's always at that moment that I realize the person did not find my reblog account from my any of my art or writing accounts

A patron in the request Tiers asked for Cyborg009 in my style, maybe with an animal or confused. It's been a while since I thought about this series. I loved it when I was little :D

"REQUEST: the MC from the old cyborg 009 but in your style, Preferably holding a small animal and looking confused. I like how cute he is"

I really liked this show when I was a kid. I have to agree: he's very cute. I looked up references to see which side the part of his hair is and it turns out its on whatever side is closest to the camera. His father eye is always the one covered. These characters are like flipping sprites XD

Definitely the right decision to not hit with the mug

[Comic Script:

Panel 1 Lyly and Mori are both facing to the left. Lyly has both hands behind them waiting for a low 10. Lyly: Yeah!

Panel 2 Mori looks down at their own hands. One is holding a mug.

Panel 3 This panel is a thought bubble coming from the previous. Mori gives the low 10 with the mug. Tea is splashing out of the mug. The text over the panel reads "BAD IDEA."

Panel 4 Mori slaps each of Lyly's hands with their one free hand.

Panel 5 Lyly faces Mori. Mori: I didn't thinking hitting with e mug was a good idea Lyly: yeah... Uh yeah thanks

[morilucidstories]

((Realized I never posted this off of Patreon))

Lyly realized Albhe would totally be the one to ask "would you still love me if I was a worm" and Nera in all of her dragon loving stupidity would hear "wyrm"

This is absolutely for The Beast is a Beauty AU where Albhe is a dragon for most of the story X3

Nera is a total horse girl if you replace horses with dragons

[Comic script:

Nera leaning against Albhe on the couch. She is sleeping. Albhe wakes her up

Albhe: Nera! Wake up!

Nera: What's wrong?

Albhe: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Nera excited flailing: Of course I'd still love you if you were a WYRM

Nera imaging Albhe as a wyrm. "So Majestic!" is written under her thought bubble

Art & Character description: digital sketch comic. The panels do not have clear edges. The art is drawn and shaded in indigo violet except for Albhe's hair and wyrm form which is rainbow. Nera has long dark hair. Albhe has long white hair and elf ears. Most of the panels are drawn in a cute chibi style

Apparently a lot of people get dialogue punctuation wrong despite having an otherwise solid grasp of grammar, possibly because they’re used to writing essays rather than prose. I don’t wanna be the asshole who complains about writing errors and then doesn’t offer to help, so here are the basics summarized as simply as I could manage on my phone (“dialogue tag” just refers to phrases like “he said,” “she whispered,” “they asked”):

“For most dialogue, use a comma after the sentence and don’t capitalize the next word after the quotation mark,” she said.

“But what if you’re using a question mark rather than a period?” they asked.

“When using a dialogue tag, you never capitalize the word after the quotation mark unless it’s a proper noun!” she snapped.

“When breaking up a single sentence with a dialogue tag,” she said, “use commas.”

“This is a single sentence,” she said. “Now, this is a second stand-alone sentence, so there’s no comma after ‘she said.’”

“There’s no dialogue tag after this sentence, so end it with a period rather than a comma.” She frowned, suddenly concerned that the entire post was as unasked for as it was sanctimonious.
