[HBR] Once, I made Ruka go to the library and read a romance novel. I assumed that she'd read a yuri, but it seems implied that it's actually just a typical het novel. Her reactions are _perfect_. Perfectly encapsulates that _weird_ feeling. The […] [Original post on booping.synth.download]

Ruka Kayamori:

(I'll read a romance novel to open myself up to new experiences.)

(Huh, so I guess teen girls think like this?)

(Wait, I *am* a teen girl!)

Ruka Kayamori:

(The only thing I discovered from this book is that I'm unlike girls my age...)

(I want to see Yukkie...I bet she'll understand me. Just like me, she's no ordinary girl.)

(Whew, I feel more educated already.)

Yuki Izumi: What? Would you have been happy if I was waiting for you?

Ruka Kayamori: I'd have been super happy!

Yuki Izumi: Hah. It's not like you're a guy.

Slight adjustments. Why am I so obsessed with manga styles of shading, with lots of white put in shadowy areas to make lines more defined?

[vague] I made a black-and-white version, and imo it is a little less pretty and interesting. Which is an accurate depiction of how I feel about it.

A drawing of a girl with short, wavy hair and glasses doing a peace sign.

The entire drawing is in black and white, except for the darkest shading of the hair and nails, which uses a magenta-to-orange gradient.

The same drawing, but with saturation at 0 so it really is just black and white.

This is a poem by Taylor Swift, which I think defined a large part of my life when I was a teen going through a lot of problems with friendships. It's such a beautiful poem, and remains my favourite ever.

The Trick to Holding on

Let go of the ones who hurt you
Let go of the ones you outgrow
Let go of the words they hurl your way
as you're walking out the door
The only thing cut and dry
In this hedge-maze life
Is the fact that their words will cut
but your tears will dry

They don't tell you this when you are young
You can't hold on to everything
Can't show up for everyone
You pick your poison
Or your cure
Phone numbers you know by heart
And the ones you don't answer any more

Hold on to the faint recognition in
the eye of a stranger
As it catches you in its lustrous net
How quickly we become intertwined
How wonderful it is to forget
All the times your intuition failed you
But it hasn't killed you yet
Hold on to childlike whims and moonlight
swims and your blazing self-respect

And if you drive the roads of this town
Ones you've gone down so many times before
Flashback to all the times
Life nearly ran you off the road
But tonight your hand is steady
Suddenly you'll know
The trick to holding on
Was all that letting go

Poem by Taylor Swift

wait so turns out this works for boobs too and changing the sizes of the circles changes the sizes of shoulders, limb fat, butt size, etc that's pretty cool
