Rebooting the Reboot: part 9 / ?

I always had a huge issue with Abbeys’ fashion sense, in that she really didn’t have one? It was always just “fur.” Her style did mention practicality, so thats the direction I decided to take, in a fashiony kind of way. Layers, utilitarian kinds of clothing. I just showed a sneak peak of Wydowna, so if I didnt draw cargo pockets on her, Abbey would have gotten some. I skewed the framing but I did draw abbey taller and thicker than standard.

Heaths’ personality was always kind of a buzzing annoyance, so I dressed him like the guys i hated in high school lol. Just some loud, obnoxious hoodie, paired with some skinny jeans and neon shoes. Other than that, he has a wispy, barely there dirt stache that he’s insanely proud of, and blue sclera so his eyes stand out more against his face.

Buy me a Ko-Fi if you can!

“Relationships take work”

Some things “relationships take work” should mean:

  • It takes work to learn to identify, effectively communicate, and mesh your needs/wants with those of another person
  • It takes work to actively listen and learn the other person’s communication styles as well as their needs and wants.
  • It takes work to maintain a relationship by planning activities together and investing in time spent together

Some things “relationships take work” should never mean:

  • Relationships take an exhausting cycle of constantly fighting and making up
  • Relationships require you to compromise your core values or change core aspects of who you are
  • Relationships take conforming to the other person’s expectations even when you don’t want to
  • Relationships take constantly proving to the other person that you deserve respect and/or love
  • Relationships require you to try to make yourself feel and want things you don’t actually feel or want - or at least pretend you do

Simple truisms like “relationships take work” can be misused in harmful ways.

Relationships do take work, but that work is supposed to be a team effort to support and care for each other while still honouring your own needs and desires.

If your relationship isn’t a healthy partnership, don’t feel like you have to stick it out just because “relationships take work.”

You are not obligated to stay in any relationship you do not want.
