Asking For A Friend: How Do You Explain To Your Friends That You're Dating Your Current SO-not Because

Asking for a friend: how do you explain to your friends that you're dating your current SO-not because you want anything serious-but because they look like an irl version of your favorite anime character and you've been secretly using them for reference for your semi popular fandom blog. and that's actually how you finally started talking to them because they caught you staring at them one time, saw your art, said they liked it and ended up asking you out a week later. Now you've been together for two weeks and it feels weird to try to break up with them because they haven't done anything wrong and your friends think it's weird that you're suddenly dating when you've always told them you've never been interested in relationships

I forgot I have to be active here so here’s my Twitter tutorial on how to draw folds I made a while back to help a friend!

A piece of cloth teaching you how to draw cloth folds of different material. Each picture depicts two arms in the same material - one thin arm and one fat arm.

THICK clothes only have a few folds! Sometimes a bump is all it takes to suggest a fold for THICK stuff. Examples are sweaters, hoodies, wool, fleece, and denim

THIN clothes have a lot of folds and bumps! Thin stuff usually has more lines that wrap around what's underneath. Examples are rayon, cotton, and crepe

SMOOTH stuff have "squiggly" folds. Smooth cloth folds tend to "loop" back to where they start. Examples are silk, velvet, Satin, Bamboo cotton, and most luxurious stuff

SOFT clothes have round folds. Unlike smooth stuff, soft stuff doesn't have many "squiggles" or solid lines in between. Examples are down jackets, fur, fleece, washed linen, and polyester

STIFF clothes have angular folds! Most folds tend to look triangular - assuming they even fold at all! Examples are raincoats, New denim, canvas, and suits

PS I have avoided talking about loose vs tight clothing since whatever is loose on one person (A shows a thin arm in a baggy yellow sleeve) might not be as loose on a different person (B depicts the same sleeve which comfortably fits around the fat arm). However it's still important to learn about these type of things.

Person asks, "So uh... what happens if the clothes are Smooth and Thin, or Thick and Soft?" The answer is DO BOTH! Top right shows a full woman in a dress that has a Smooth skirt and a Stiff top half. Even though it's one dress, one part is more Smooth while the other part is more Stiff. There are more examples but don't forget to study hard and have fun!

Being new to the fandom, and also being a multishipper, and also not knowing any of the ship names

I know about Silver Martini and Conspiracy Co-Pilots, but idk the others (someone please help me out with that JCHSKCHS)

But because I don't know any of them and it's late as hell here, my brain suddenly thought: "does Lee and Irwin have a ship name??" If not, I propose the ship name Find The X (or Ex, whichever is better)

Edit: someone sent me the ship master list :>

detentionaire mako's posts lee ping irwin dexter find the ex because they're math nerds and because they're basically like bitter exes in my eyes speaking about me being a multishipper what do you guys think about this crack ship idea: Lee and Brad JCGSCJVS I might try and explain why I thought of that partly because it's late and partly because a foggy idea appeared in my head
