QUEEN CHARLOTTE: A BRIDGERTON STORY (2023)
Weekend sketchdump of various Emelan/Tortall scenes via discord requests! It’s been a blast :)
I will never get over how weird it feels to have tragic and emotional chapters of your life where you just also still go to work, and the grocery store, and see funny videos online all while feeling such paralyzing fear and heartache
life just goes on no matter what

It is!

this might be a weird question, but i just saw your queer eye post and something you said stood out to me: "Furthermore, telling someone to shower more isn't actually helpful, it just makes them feel shamed." - i was wondering if you had advice for me? my boyfriend is autistic and doesn't shower very often. like, maybe every 3-4 days. i also have autism and when his hair is oily it really is a sensory nightmare for me, and i'm also kind of sensitive to smell. i've never said "hey, please shower more" because i don't want to hurt his feelings, but i want him to just maybe shower every two days. is there a helpful way to do this? he isn't depressed, i think he just doesn't like bathing
So I am 100% not an expert on autism or sensory issues, but I have some experience with neurodiversity and mental health/processing in general, so here's my non-expert advice:
Tell your boyfriend basically exactly what you've just told me. Make it clear that this isn't about him doing something wrong, just about differing habits and needs. Frame it as an issue for the two of you to find a solution to together ("I'm struggling with something; can we chat about it?"). Explain your issue with oily hair, and ask him why his shower routine is the way it is. Based on his answer, see if you two can find a solution. Maybe it's as simple as him not remembering to shower more, in which case you can help by reminding him. If he does dislike showering to the point where doing it more often isn't a practical solution, try looking into things like dry shampoo, head wraps, etc.
The issue isn't in telling someone to shower more per se, the issue is in making someone feel shamed or gross or wrong for their habits. You're not telling your boyfriend he's dirty, you're just talking about what happens to his hair after a few days and your response to it. Just like Tan gives Joey ways to stay clean and fresh that fit within his lifestyle, your job is to find ways for you to interact with your boyfriend's hair that work for both your needs.
Good luck!
I would just like to state that Mina Murray is my new favorite character, because I too hate planners that do not give Sunday equal space on the page.
