Okay, this is in incredibly petty nitpick, but: if you’re writing a fantasy setting with same-sex marriage, a same-sex noble or royal couple typically would not have titles of the same rank – e.g., a prince and a prince, or two queens.
It depends on which system of ranking you use, of course (there are several), but in most systems there’s actually a rule covering this scenario: in the event that a consort’s courtesy title being of the same rank as their spouse’s would potentially create confusion over who holds the title by right and who by courtesy, the consort instead receives the next-highest title on the ladder.
So the husband of a prince would be a duke; the wife of a queen, a princess; and so forth.
(You actually see this rule in practice in the United Kingdom, albeit not in the context of a same-sex marriage; the Queen’s husband is styled a prince because if he were a king, folks might get confused about which of them was the reigning monarch.)
The only common situation where you’d expect to see, for example, two queens in the same marriage is if the reigning monarchs of two different realms married each other – and even then, you’d more likely end up with a complicated arrangement where each queen is technically a princess of the other’s realm in addition to being queen of her own.
You’ve gotta keep it nice and unambiguous who’s actually in charge!
Narrowing in on the red panda’s design… gonna call her Anna, since my middle name is Ann. Drew this on the train ride home. Will try to draw a more refined thing later.
Why are couples, particularly married couples, still portrayed in so much media as fighting like every single day and having NO common interests, hobbies or tastes, sometimes not even common opinions?
How did they get past the first date?????
Lazy-ass writers going for cheap drama, since they know they need some sort of conflict for story… Which, you know, perpetuates the idea that it’s normal to have a completely selfish and dysfunctional relationship, since many people base their entire reality on what media they consume.
It’s insane.
I know people like that, though, who hate their spouse… Usually, they got married really quick without REALLY getting to know each other, often when they were so young that they didn’t even know who they were themselves, and get stuck.
don’t trust people who are friends with people who have mistreated you in the past
9/10 they’ve already talked about it behind ur back n agreed u were “overreacting”
Actually this is a very unhealthy mindset. :c
I have been mistreated by many, but my friends are still friends with some of those people. Why? Not because they want to hurt me, but because they are…you know….FRIENDS with that other person too! To make someone have to choose a side is childish and honestly just makes you the pety one.
As much as it hurts we have to understand everyone has the right to make their own choices. And thinking someone is against you or conspiring against you because they are friends with someone who has wronged you can lead you into a very warped mindset of the world….and lead to paranoia.
They are agreeing about negative things your ex-friend said about you? How do you know? Maybe they SAW how wrong it was and had a stern talkin to with the person or made it VERY clear they didn’t agree with it.
Have more faith in your friends. Think positively.
It’s true. Often times the incident didn’t involve the friend at all… don’t drag them through the mud, just be mature adults and recognize that you can have friends in several circles and that not all of your friends have to be friends with each other.
Like when one of my brothers dated my bff and they broke up. He was so mad that I didn’t turn my back on my friend. Breakups happen. I’m not gonna ditch my friend just because they didn’t work out. He and I don’t talk anymore because he tried to force me to pick a side and he couldn’t handle it when I wouldn’t. NOW who’s the bad friend?
No, self, you cannot completely rewrite Fishsticks from the ground up right now. >_<; Watch another Disney channel original movie and calm the heck down. If you REAAALLY want to rewrite it you can– AFTER the workshop. And cooldown. So like, in August.
bleeuguuuu
I looked at the Sonic tag hoping for inspiration to write a thing, but all I found was regret.
