Be respectful when filming or taking pictures in public.

It's one thing if you're filming or taking a picture of a busy tourist attraction where it's unavoidable that some of the crowd is going to be in your picture or video. But it's another thing to intentionally take a picture or video with the intent of capturing someone doing something you find funny or embarrassing, without their consent, with the purpose of mocking them or having "funny" content.

First of all, most people are going to rightfully feel like it's a violation of their boundaries to be intentionally filmed or photographed without their consent. It's also just bullying behavior to take a picture or video of someone with the intention of mocking or ridiculing them.

Some people might think it's harmless if the other person never finds out they're being filmed or photographed, but it's still heavily disrespectful regardless of whether or not they find out. And you can't ever be certain it won't get back around to them.

And some people think "it's all in good fun" or "we're laughing with them, not at them" but if it's someone you barely know, or don't know at all, you can't know how it's actually going to make them feel.

Desmond as the Nutcracker

I wanted to try redrawing the piece I drew, three years ago I think? Since it’s been a while and my style has slightly improved. I hope you like it!

I hope you have a wonderful, lovely and safe Holiday!

okay, but characters wearing diapers or pull-ups to a theme park tho

first, some of the reasons one might be padded at a theme park:

• the character is a total germaphobe, and using public bathrooms frequented by thousands of people a day isn't on the table

• the character has a shy bladder and there is no chance that they'll be able to use the extra large bathrooms filled with dozens of stalls, not to mention all the other people waiting in a line to use those stalls

• the character is very easily distracted and has been known to put off bathroom breaks until the last possible second - something that'll be a bit hard to deal with in a crowded theme park

• the character decides that they want to minmax their day at the theme park and get their money's worth, and as such, decides that wasting time for a bathroom break is unacceptable

• and, simply, the character thinks it might be a bit fun to wear padding at a theme park

the way that the characters use their protections

• the ones that wait and hold it until an opportune moment arrives

• maybe some wait until they're waiting in a line for a ride that isn't moving; they shuffle between their friends - or, away from the other guests in the line, if they came alone - and let loose, their discomfort gone and their place in line maintained

• those that aren't going to be able to go unless they're away from the public eye/crowds; they need to find somewhere secluded, and the nagging feeling that they're going to be caught "doing something they're not supposed to" isn't helping

-- they either find a little corner of the park that isn't very busy, so they do their best to relax their bladder and go

-- or they don't, and they end up losing control while surrounded by strangers, much to their dismay

• those who didn't intend on wetting at that exact moment - maybe their ride was more thrilling than they had thought, maybe someone bumped into them, or maybe they just got so excited - or frightened! - upon seeing a costumed character that their control of their bladder completely slipped their mind - so they sure are glad they opted for the protection

• the ones who's protection is intended to be used as a last resort only - which means they still need to try their hardest to make it to the bathroom in time

• those who go as soon as the urge hits them; they're wearing padding, they don't need to hold it or anything!! that's what the protection is for!!!

and then, of course, what'll happen when they need to get changed:

the fact if the matter is, there are a limited amount of changing tables that our character can even fit on, which means that they'll have to either deal with their soggy bottoms in the narrow single stalls or use the accessible/companion/family bathrooms

• those who opt for the single stall change, as, after all, they can handle it themselves!! except, they've never changed a diaper standing up before, and, oh, wow, those tapes aren't sticking where they're supposed to go and - uh oh...

• those who opted for pull-ups now struggling in the single stall, because how were they supposed to know that the ones they picked don't have easy open sides, which means that they need to disrobe entirely from the waist down - shoes included - just to put a new one on

• any of the above people needing to phone-a-friend to get some help - except, they can't exactly leave the stall at this point, which means that their friend is going to need to squeeze into a stall that can barely fit two people

• those who are alone who opt for the accessible bathroom; afterall, they're a guest who needs the facilities, why shouldn't they use it?

-- of course, that's easier said than done, as they soon realize. there's only a limited amount of these bathrooms in the park, which means they're a bit more busy than the regular bathrooms - this results in the character having to nervously stand in line amongst families, who might be raising a brow at why our character is in line in the first place....

• and then, those who opt for the accessible bathroom with a friend who is going to change them

-- any onlookers alongside them in line, looking at our possibly skittish character, who might even be attempting to hide behind their friend - who, of course, is carrying a bag or backpack with the necessary changing supplies. looking between the two, it isn't hard to put together that a routine diaper change is all that's going to be happening between these characters in the bathroom, nothing nefarious (though, depending on our character's pride that might be exactly what they were banking on what strangers would assume)

• a character who did not plan ahead, and after thoroughly soaking their protection and heading for the bathroom, they realize these single stalls are not big enough to change in. cue the character, with a noticeable waddle in their gait, having to locate the nearest theme park employee to ask about where the nearest accessible bathroom is - only for the employee to show them that's it's very clearly labeled not too far away

• and then, the characters who decide that changing their padding is not on the itinerary, and so they opt to stay in their wet padding - what's going to happen first? stained pants from leaky padding? thighs chafing from the excess moisture? a diaper rash? maybe they'll even be so unlucky that they get to experience all three...

~bonus scenarios~

• the character did not bring enough padding for an entire day at the theme park, and the extra large souvenir cups did not do them any favors; the character needs to choose between wearing soggy padding longer than they'd like or go without protection for the rest of their evening - with their weakened bladder, they're not too sure if ending the day with dry pants is even on the itinerary...

• the theme park has a water ride and the character eagerly goes on it without much thought. when they exit the ride, they need to change more than their shirt and pants soaked from a large drop - their padding also managed to absorb much of the water, and they leave with a tell-tale waddle

• characters who wish they opted for something more heavy-duty; as it turns out, their protection barely protected anything at all (or maybe they just over estimated the capacity, lol), and now they have wet pants without a change of clothes. it's just their luck though, as it seems the theme park has accounted for this exact scenario, and clean overpriced pants, socks, shoes, and even new underwear are available in the gift shop - now, would that be cash or card? 😊

August: Day 8

Adventures

Went to a thrift store and the library's used bookshop.

Bought a copy of Around the World in 80 Days that looks more readable than my current copy (so long as it's not an abridged children's edition). May make a new cover for it.

Bought a book about the basics of astronomy. If I'm going to write about an astronomer, I need to know a tiny bit, and this looks like it's written for idiots with short attention spans, so it'll be great for me.

Bought the coolest pop-up book I've ever seen. For a quarter. I'll have to show you guys pictures.

Treated myself to Youtube videos about Victorian literature. Indulged in a few Gutenberg downloads. Read the first chapter of Lady Audley's Secret and this may derail all my reading plans until I finish.

Accomplishments

Read a few chapters of Heretics. Am now halfway done.

Tire. Twice.

Signed up for a CPR refresher course
