Also, he’s written a sci-fi novel and has spent time in Africa building a school and orphanage for abused teenage girls. So, good for that guy.

this is just my own observations of course but 90% of the time when a kid tries to get people to treat them like an adult, what they really want is the respect and acknowledgement that they associate with adulthood - because that’s what they must give the adults. they have to give that to the adults in their lives, but the adults never give that same respect back, and so they see that difference and decide that they want to be treated “like an adult”

and sometimes i see parents who are like fine you want to be treated like an adult then you can work and pay rent but that’s the exact OPPOSITE of what the kid is actually asking for. you’re just belittling them, clearly intending to punish them for daring ask for your respect, clearly intending for them to break down and beg to be “treated like a child” again because you purposefully twisted their wants. they ask for respect, and you give them abuse.

never, ever, ever, treat a child like a full grown adult. it’s our responsibility as adults NOT to, because they ARENT adults no matter how much they think they want to be, and it’s our job as adults to take care of them.

that said, ALWAYS treat children like people. because they ARE that. they’re real people with real agency acting as best as they know to with what knowledge they have

What’s an otp for if not for self-indulgent gooey feels? 

sometimes i just need the endings to be happy okay!?

Got a new drawing tablet yesterday that cuts down my start-to-finish time by about 2-3 hours! So super excited about that :) Hopefully I’ll be able to take on more clients and commissions now without having to stay up till 3 every day to get them done! 

This is also good news for you guys! I’ll have more time to draw fanart now :D I may open commissions if I get low on cash, but for now I’ll just take requests! Send ‘em my way!
