Academic Sauce

The reason why I’m not too open to making a ton of friends through Art Fight is because I’ve noticed a pattern of people just bulldozing me in conversations once I do actually open up that line of communication (e.g. discord DMs). I’ve had so many people send me a friend request, and when I accept it they just blabber about their own characters nonstop. The conversation is one-sided where I’m essentially just used as a lore dump where they only want to talk about their own OCs, and any mention of my own gets ignored or immediately redirected towards theirs. If I engage with your OCs and have the courtesy to listen and comment about the personality, designs, lore, etc that you tell me, I expect the same respect be given to me in turn. Don’t seek me out just to use me as your personal lore document. I understand being excited and wanting to share your creations with others, but it comes off as incredibly self-centered to ONLY want to talk about YOUR art and OCs and nobody else’s. Don’t expect our conversations to last or for me to reply as fast, if at all, if you do.

this might be more response than you want, but interesting (and kinda depressing when you think about it) fact: there’ve been a bunch of research studies where parents have been asked what they think makes a healthy parent-child relationship, and they tend to like…not answer the actual question because they think they’re being asked what good parenting is, which is not the same. so they talk about things like helping kids with homework and making sure they eat well. children, on the other hand, usually respond to the same question with stuff that’s literally just the definition of healthy relationships generally. affection, honesty, respect, spending time together, sharing interests. and the real kicker is, objectively, we know that’s the kind of stuff that actually has a much better impact not only on whether or not the relationship is strong and positive but also the kid’s overall happiness and psychological health.

“In my youth,” reminisced the old man, scratching his beard thoughtfully, “I was quite the quirked up white boy. No one in the village could best me at busting it down sexual style.”

Brunette Rapunzel seriously means so much to me (not to mention it looks good on her and haters can cry about it!)
