I’ve just discovered my new favorite painter, Vittorio Reggianini – those smarter than myself probably already know of him as an Italian painter from the 1800s who made satin look even satiny-er than satin. I just cannot get over how much he loved painting women who were NOT. HAVING. A. MAN’S. SHIT.
But there was one hottie that everyone seemed to like, and I can’t blame them…
Unpopular opinion: straight people using “partner” to refer to their SO actually helps normalize the term so that lgbt folx can use it without automatically outing themselves to strangers. It also helps other straight ppl get comfortable with the fact that strangers aren’t entitled to information about other people’s gender or sexuality.
Give op their hard-earned notes
Tbh I hear “partner” and assume gay, I didn’t know straights used it. Very fair point, OP
I hear ‘partner’ and think ‘gay’ too. A girl at work used it for months and I just went with it. When she would say ‘he’ I even thought maybe he was trans*. Anyways, someone using partner makes me more comfortable and I came out to her. She was just an intelligent straight girl that liked the term and was knowledgeable in human sexuality so definitely someone I should have felt comfortable coming out too. It’s a good sign of a straight person uses it IMO.
As a mental health clinician, this is actually my blanket term when discussing any romantic relationship. I agree it normalizes it, but I also think it’s a relatively safe term to use to describe most romantic relationships without making any assumptions about the person’s orientation or identity. I also use the word “partnered” when describing a monogamous relationship status.
The term “partner” also removes the implied hierarchy of boyfriend/girlfriend vs husband/wife. This is relevant both to non-monogamous people, and unmarried individuals for whom the importance of their relationship isn’t dictated by its legal status.
Been seeing a lot of people making SU characters based of the canon gem designs and I thought it would be fun to try it out too! It’s like super super late so I’m not gonna get too deep with them character wise but:
-This Lapis Lazuli uses her water powers to form her head (her gemstone is at the end of her neck) and she needs to maintain constant control of herself to keep it formed.
-The Color Changing Sapphire is a fusion between a Sapphire and Padparadscha Sapphire. The regular Sapphire gets overwhelmed when looking into the future and the Padparadscha Sapphire keeps her grounded in the present. She changes colors based on who is using their powers.
-Orange Zircon is everyone’s least favorite Zircon as she constantly bs’s her way through all her trials which she only ends up winning because no one has any idea what she’s talking about.
-Thunderegg Agate is basically a babysitter Agate: she watches certain groups of gems when their usual Agate is called elsewhere. She is very tired.
Anyway hope you enjoy them! Sorry they came out so sketchy, I didn’t like any line work I tried to do for them so I ended up just cleaning up the initial sketches (for varying degrees of success).
anyone else have one of those Formative Omegle Experiences that’s stuck with you
i remember once matching up with this 27 year old mechanic. he found the omegle page open on one the shop’s computers, and he wanted to see what his coworker was up to. we matched up because of our listed “manga” interests.
he asked how old i was, and i lied and said i was 16. as a conversation starter, he asked if i had my license yet, and because i was 12, i said no.
so he starts giving me driving tips. get a junker as your first, because when you finally get a new car, you’ll be able to appreciate it.
stick shift is going out of fashion, and even if you learn how to drive that way and enjoy it, get an automatic. it’ll save your ass on nasty hills and in rush hour traffic.
and most importantly, never hold your hands at 10 and 2. go with 9 and 3. he’d always loved cars, and used to race when he was younger. became pretty well known in the indie circles. one day, he was speeding around the track and just came out of the curve when a girl in the crowd flashed her tits at him.
he was so distracted that he crashed straight into the barrier. due to how he was holding the wheel, he broke both of his arms. he still has a couple lingering issues.
i asked him if it was worth it, and he said yes. he’d do it again if he had the chance. they were the finest tiddies he’d ever seen.
the moral of this story is that, to this day, i grip 9 and 3 when using both hands because wait that’s what tiddy guy said i should do.
hey folks we got the 69 sex number and the 420 weed number, i think it’s time we get ourselves a gay number where anytime we see it we can say “ha. that’s the gay number :)” so anyone wanna throw some numbers out there as suggestions
good points, it looks like we got ourselves a winner right off the bat. good work team, 630 is gay
when it’s the gay time
That makes this the new lesbian icon pokemon.
Researchers looking at female critters beautifying themselves and going “Hm, must be for a man” on zero evidence is the single most realistic thing Pokémon has ever done.
Are we not going to talk about that fact that it’s Japanese name is Vulgina.
it’s officially impossible for me to fall in love bc last night at a party drunk-me remembered that sober-me had thrown 3 funsize kitkats into my bag with the explicit thought “drunk-me is going to be so excited when she finds these” and i don’t think any other person is gonna be able to love me like that
but what did drunk you ever do for sober you
one time i blacked out and woke up to find 13 full sized rolls of ritz crackers in my bag bc drunk me is also an ideal provider
