we need to step away from viewing marriage as inherently romantic, or the primary goal of romance. marriage is a legal contract we use to create important ties--financial, medical, next-of-kin, mediating shared property and parental rights. the details vary a lot based on where you are and what paperwork you sign. which is not very romantic! but it does have many real-world effects on our ability to share our lives with our partners.

first and foremost, marriage is a legal right we use to build and protect our families, whatever that family may look like

Real!! I was there!

tbh the level of difficulty I experience in trying to dress myself in a way where I feel fashionable and like I’m expressing myself is directly causing me extreme body image issues. and dysphoria. I feel like I would be in considerably less distress over my body every single day if I could just WEAR COOL CLOTHES.

This is super random, but do you have any advice on how to draw children? I can never get it to look quite right when I try and I don't know why (I've got the idea down that they should be rounder but even that doesn't seem to be enough to make it look right)

So hilariously I’ve historically had the opposite problem where for a good while the only thing I could draw was children and I had no idea how to draw adults, because shonen anime with young protagonists were most of what I watched and interacted with when I was learning how to draw.

This is a very casual haphazard little thing so don’t put too much stock into it, but my experience at least has been the following:

Generally, on adults, the midline being where the eyes fall is pretty accurate. However, for children, especially babies, the eye line will fall a bit lower than the mid line.

On babies, generally the nostrils or the bottom of the nose will fall close to the midline between the eyes and the mouth at resting position. As they grow, the distance between the eyes and the bottom of the nose will get proportionally longer, so that the bottom of the nose will be closer to the mouth than to the eyes.

If starting with the circle as a base for the top curvature of the head, the chin will be further from the circle on an adult, making the head more elongated. On children, the chin will be shorter and rounder.

The head is also proportionally larger on children than on adults. For full body pieces, you can measure this by the shoulders.

I hope this helps some? As always, I do recommend using references and doing some studies of photos or other artwork if you find yourself stuck.

dean winchester would NOT go to therapy and frankly he shouldn’t. it wouldn’t be helpful for him! he’s already emotionally aware and he wouldn’t feel safe being that vulnerable with a stranger he’s paying. if you want him to know therapy skills and concepts just have him learn them from gentle parenting tiktok.

Oh we need more of the tennis player yuuta.

so true we do. a match was cancelled and rescheduled due to inclement weather, which is fine, it happens occasionally. except, the reschedule interferes with your work trip, which is how yuuta ends up with your baby boy in his lap at his pre-match press conference. yuuta was worried at first, your son definitely wouldn’t be used to the cameras and reporters, and it was also seven in the morning, so he really hoped the baby wouldn’t become too irritated, but all his worrying was for nothing. 

your baby boy didn’t seem to the mind the cameras, or the large crowd of people, his father was right there to hold him through the entire thing. with them side by side like this, their similarities really show; their droopy eyelids and tired expression, the occasional slow blinking when they’re confused or in thought, the same nose scrunch that makes everybody coo when it happens. one reporter mentions you by name, and that makes the otherwise sleepy baby perk and babble “mama” into the microphone instinctively, which melts everybody’s hearts, yuuta’s included, “that’s right, baby, that’s mama,” he coos, pinching his kid’s cheek before returning his attention to the reporter, “but, yeah, my wife—she’s great. she’s away on work right now, and we miss her a lot, but i’m so proud of her. i got to speak to her right before this conference actually, and she said she’d tune in when she could, so i hope she’s watching—wait, sorry, um… what was the question again?” (his rambling off about my wife my wife my wife is not new. it happens in every conference and interview, he’s just a loverboy through and through). 

during the match, it’s dead silent when yuuta’s about to serve and then there’s the tiniest cry of “dada,” just as he’s about the throw the ball up, which makes him smile and stop and turn to his son, and the entire crowd coos. yuuta is not too proud to blow a kiss before going to serve again.

I used to have a really hard time bringing up the fact that I graduated from high school a year late without feeling the need to explain why and insisting that it wasn't my fault while simultaneously kicking myself for how much I sounded like I was just making excuses for something I should take responsibility for.

Then I watched Dimension 20's "The Seven" and suddenly I could simply say that I was a super senior.

The first time I heard the phrase "super senior" was in reference to Antiope Jones, a Black girl who had been held back a year after getting kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a fundamentalist cult, and like, girl, same.

So, since then, instead of anxiously spinning out any time I tried to tell a personal high school anecdote, I could just say I was a super senior, and then my brain would auto complete that statement with "like Antiope Jones" and I'd feel good about myself because Antiope Jones Is That Bitch.

That's what the problem had been the whole time. I wasn't worried about how other people would perceive me; I had been struggling with how I perceived myself.

Thanks, Aabria.
