i don’t like kids.
in general, i suppose. i’m not very fond of little kids. i don’t want them. they give me headaches and i cannot deal with their antics.
HOWEVER
you know what i do when kids talk to me? i smile. i answer them. i tell them their scribbles look really good. i open their juice boxes for them and ask to hear more about their power rangers.
because although i may not be fond of children, i was one. i remember being a kid and how much sour adults impacted my life even today. so when a child who is screaming and crying with a runny nose walks past me, i put on my smiling face and ask them what’s wrong instead of rolling my eyes.
because that’s what you do. you tolerate children even if you tend to dislike them. because kids are so impressionable and remember everything. i cannot bring myself to enjoy being around children. but that doesn’t mean i let them know.
I never thought of it that way…
Woah.
I always get the ‘I thought you hated kids’ when people see me being nice and talking to littlies and all I respond is ‘sure, I’m not a fan of kids and I’m not really planning on having any, but I’m not a complete asshole’
Don’t be a dick to kids, it’s super uncool.
and if you see a baby smiling at you please for the love of fuck smile back. you smiling back allows babies to develop an awareness of their impact on other people and how their emotional expression impacts others – basically their social abilities. when you smile back, the baby’s brain registers ‘i expressed a positive emotion and this caused the other person to express that same positive emotion’.
Allllllllllll of this. Every single word.
And please be aware that loud children often simply don’t realize that their loudness bothers others. Try looking over at the loud children with a neutral expression (NOT angry or disapproving) and seeing if they notice and quiet down.
Life and death and love and birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth
Wonder Woman kind of made me want to draw the Temple Fusion on a battlefield … even if that might not be realistic since I think Amethyst came a bit later on but let’s just pretend ok
things it’s cool to ask an creator if they’re taking q&a’s:
- how they came up with their thing
- what it’s like working on said thing
- are you surprised by the popularity of the thing
- ‘[thing] is really important to me, thanks for bringing it to life!’
- advice on how you can go about creating your own thing
things it’s Extremely Fucking Not Cool to ask:
- anything about shipping (unless it’s a canon pairing or they’ve openly expressed an interest in it)
- especially not real-person shipping does this shit even need to be said
- kin stuff
- creepy personal questions
- ‘[thing] is the only thing keeping me alive please help me deal with my extreme mental health issues bc i don’t wanna seek actual support from a friend or qualified professional’

Kids with bad parents are more likely to be shaped by cartoons characters they idolized growing up than their bad parents, pass it on
you can draw trans headcanons of characters without uh, <i>emphasizing</i> the traits of their agab just to show theyre trans
this is my new character Transpal McTran, here is a picture of them with no shirt on. see their chest does not match their Actual Gender. look at this explicit camel toe/dickprint. clearly this OC is not cis and not fetishistic in any manner. in no way am i purposely highlighting their secondary traits in order to emphasize Just How Much their gender does not match their body. support my kickstarter
