me, a canadian, talking to an american who’s sick or hurt: have you tried—no wait that costs money for you… what about—no no, that costs you money too, doesn’t it? …god, that’s absolutely fucking nonsense, eh? what do they expect you to do??? die????????
americans to me: yes
So, I just spoke with my youngest sister, and sibling, who is 9 years old.
And we talked about why I call my partner a partner, and not boyfriend/girlfriend. And I told her that a partner is exactly the same as boyfriend/girlfriend.
She was a bit confused (cuz I said my partner is a boy) and asked if it meant we were in a middle stage, and weren’t fully dating yet and that’s why he wasn’t my boyfriend.
I told her, “No, we are in a relationship. Sometimes, people are partners because they are neither boys or girls. Or sometimes, they’re not 100% boy or 100% girl. And that’s why we are partners.”
And it clicked. She goes “ohhh, so does that mean you’re not 100% girl?” And I told her that no, I’m not.
Too which she replied “Then I can call you my sibling instead of my sister.” (Which makes me really happy)
She then went quiet for a moment and then asked “Am I 100% girl?” And I told her that she could be if she wanted to be, and she went silent again before saying “I’m 100% girl” too which my brother, who’s been texting the entire time and doesn’t even look up, says “You go girl”.
Y’all, my little sister has never really been exposed to non cishet anything. Just not allot of upfront exposure, and alot of adults didn’t think she’s even old enough to understand what gay means.
But she literally took this all in stride, and even offered to calle sibling, without me even mentioning different pronouns.
Kids get it people. Kids totally understand, as long as you’re willing to be patient and explain.
On a side note, when we got home my sister said “(Our brother) isn’t 100% boy. He’s Godzilla.”

ALRIGHT, so, I know a lot of people have trouble making eyes match. Yesterday I found out a way to make it significantly easier! Here’s a small guide.
Well, first of all, you have your face. mark where the eyes should be on it.
Then mark the corners of the eyes and go over the middle again, to make the next step easier
Alright, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but draw this shape, trying to make it as symmetrical as you can.
Draw the eyes using that shape as a guide and TA-DA! They match! For different eye shapes you tweak the angle of the two guide lines.
And it also helps with angles where the size and shape of the eye is distorted, you just put it in perspective.
I think the theory behind it is that the thing that makes it hard to make the eyes match is the angle of the corners, and this type of guideline helps make them even, which makes the eyes look symmetrical. Welp, here it is! I hope it helps someone!
