I say this not as a defence for these people—as it’s a very nuanced topic in and of itself—but just to give some perspective for the sake of conversation; there are some people with these sorts of proclivities that do actually despise themselves for having them. It is objectively and morally wrong to sexualise a child, no one is denying this......   2 reply

for me, it’s gotta be the pathetic lookin’ old guy who’s actually pretty capable, he’s just too tired to do anything properly   reply

I don’t know the age of your daughter, but did you try asking her for what she wants? If that isn’t an option, or you want it to be a surprise, then maybe go for something simple. Start with choosing a colour palette, like pastels or silver+her favourite colour. Or you could make it character themed, if she has a favourite show or movie.   1 reply

Going to address the P.S. right off the bat—but preach. Human craft shall never die. Keep drawing! Anyways, digital commission artist here, with a story, some tips and a book recc. I stagnated for a looong while at some point, but I was not at all satisfied with where my skills were. My usual source of improvement was not helping, but at some p......   1 reply

I was not aware that this had a name. I have learnt today. The concept itself is whatever for the most part, but it’s the idea of making it public that I am outright averse to. As someone who makes characters themself, and has had some very strange interactions because of it, it makes me deeply uncomfortable to know that someone is disrespecti......   reply

I consider reading to be the perfect time to do simple core exercises. Like leaning back with a straight spine while bracing the core, resting every few minutes or so. Or sometimes I do leg raises or small crunches. Maybe it’s silly, but I would consider anyone reading to try it! At the very least, get up to stretch at times. When I’m in a m......   reply

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sou......   reply

Hey there, as someone on the other side of a similar issue (i.e. a friend of mine went off their meds and I had to loose contact with them for genuine mental health and physical safety reasons) I truly think it’s best to let them choose to contact you first. You mentioned that others are struggling to get in contact with them, but word will lik......   1 reply

I’ve taken to referring to this as a “love corner” because the one being pursued often feels pressured at one point or another. Regardless, two people liking the same person is still called a “love triangle”, but if there were ever a petition for creating more specific terms, I would sign it. Anyway, this one is by far the best for a p......   1 reply

I usually treat them as a passing thing unless I can tell that the other person is looking for a more long-term connection. Then I will gladly do my part to keep an interaction going and check in on them occasionally. The habit of letting people go after a short-term interaction comes from me being an artist and doing business online. A lot of peo......   reply

Sorry to null the question by saying this, however, as far as I am concerned, as soon as any type of creator or artist makes their work public, it becomes its own separate entity. You should be able to enjoy a piece of music or read a story without extraneous factors ruining it for you in an era where joy is already so hard to grasp. (And especial......   1 reply

To add to the discussion, I’ll take the marketing perspective. There is the additional factor that “yaoi” is traditionally “males having sex,” whereas other forms of BL, like “shounen ai”, typically steer from the more provocative and sexual side. If you wanted to make the generalization, yaoi is porn. (For the record, I don’t i......   1 reply

Unless you have omitted parts of the DM, there is a startling lack of context and proper names. You should be asking; where is this so-called presentation being held? What is it called? What are the names of the people involved? What organisation or company is seeking this work? Since none of that is provided, they prevent you from looking up the ......   2 reply

If you don’t want to change your style too much—then, when it comes to depicting age, adding more lines on the face (where lines should be) typically makes characters look older by default. That may be fun to experiment with. Or you could cheat, and give them a nice beard. Otherwise, it may be time to revisit some basic anatomy. Boring, I......   reply

As someone who also pertains an interest to those of a scruffy nature, I am sorry to say, there simply are not a lot. The best you can get is neat hair but with a bit of a beard. And even less common are those without a large age gap. Shoujo: https://www.mangago.me/essay/create/?question_id=824817 Not exactly romance, but; https://www.mangago.me......   reply
