Feel free to use and reblog!
constant physical touch to feel safe
being an expert in teasing the other
seeking eye contact
understanding each other without words
recognising the sound of their steps
moulding perfectly into each other's arms
knowing their answer before they say anything
kisses on the cheek when they leave the room
arguing about minor disagreements
having a fight with just looks
being annoyed by the tiniest things
being unable to be mad for a long time
feeling more at ease when the other is by their side
always talking about their s/o in front of others
watching their oblivious s/o lovingly
trying to fulfil their wishes
holding hands when sitting next to each other
brushing through the other's hair while talking
trying to make them laugh
absurd terms of endearment
developing own terms for everything
cancelling their schedule just to spend time with them
sharing tasks
letting out their anger in front of them
feeding each other their food
making a mental list of everything that happened over the day that they want to share with them
kissing to make them stop talking
gifts as an apology
doing something silly to cheer them up
accepting & living with their quirks
always pointing out certain annoying behaviour
adopting some of their manners
knowing where they're most ticklish
asking them for advice/help
'your problem is my problem'
feeling bad when the other is having a hard time
kissing them goodbye in the morning
craving their company after a stressful day
snuggling up to them at night
not wanting to leave their embrace
fun thing about herding and/or generally neurotic breeds: they are really good at following rules you have instituted, but they will also make their own Dog Rules they will follow stringently whether or not you like it
Actually cannot stop watching this
I was inspired by @jezifster's recent question about non-gendered royal titles, and I put together this graphic to serve as a jumping off point for people writing monarchies in SFF !
Obviously this non-exhaustive list contains mainly western titles, all in English. Feel free add any on additional gender neutral terminologies that you can think of, including those from different languages and cultures!
A small addition: I'm not a linguist or historian and put this list together based on some quick googling! While you're free to flex the usage and meanings of these words however you choose, researching the real-world context of each term before using them in your own writing is a best practice.
im sure someone already made a post about it but i came across a ublock origin add-on that blacklists around 950 AI websites and disables AI overview ☝️ so u can be free from seeing AI in your search
Guys I need you all to watch this pan out of the women's 4x400 right now.
Mitski’s cover of The Bleacher’s “Let’s Get Married”
A masterpost of resources & posts on how to respectfully draw and represent Piper McLean as a Tsalagi/Cherokee character, and a few posts on the issues with her canon depiction. I am not Native, but a majority of the posts linked here are by Native people.
Note: if you are not Native, you do not get to decide what is or isn’t racist against Indigenous people, no matter how much research you do. Listen to Native voices on Native issues.
Note #2: please do not bombard the creators of these posts with questions unless they say they’re comfortable with it. They are not google. If you have questions, ask someone who has made it clear they are comfortable with it, ask me, or just google them.
Edit Note: I’ve removed links by findingmy//culture, as I no longer feel comfortable with them due to unrelated reasons. If you have suggestions for alternate links to share, hit me up.

refs: some photos, more, this blog, you can also look through the Piper tags of my blog, tsigililimclean, etc.
further research on indigenous rep: @indigenousfantasy, @writingwithcolor (particularly this!), justin’s (Plains Cree native) representation wishes, rep for dark skinned Native folks, etc.
why piper isn’t good rep: long post on topic, also check the rr crit tags, etc.
Feel free to add on, especially Indigenous bloggers! I will edit as I find more. And also feel free to share this when asking people not to draw racist Piper.
That really is how being in your 30s is like 😭
