I know no one on this website gives a fuck about reddit, but whenever I accidentally see the 'r/mademesmile' subreddit it's always the most heinous patriarchal gender role reinforcing garbage. cishets are really just being forcefed trad genderrole psyop content constantly and it's genuinely horrifying
Thoughts on this alligator? Comments are full of people anthropomorphising the gator.
Link for everyone - not a fan! This one gets a NOT CUTE and DANGEROUS rating.
In this video, a person lures an alligator up onto a pontoon with a piece of meat. After giving the gator the meat, they pet it on its head, and the gator makes this face before sliding back into the water:
I get that this can look like a "smile," but when reptiles clench their eyes shut and open their mouths like this, it's better understood as a grimace. It means something big is touching them in a way they don't like and they feel threatened, so they're closing their eyes because eye contact in the animal world is often perceived as hostile. They're trying to look non-threatening so the encounter can end, and the open mouth is something crocodilians do when they feel uncomfortable.
This video is just all-around full of terrible ideas, and not just because you should never interact with a crocodilian that doesn't have its mouth taped. Luring a wild crocodilian close with meat is a terrible idea, and crocodilians can absolutely start to expect food from people. It's a recipe for getting someone hurt.
Learn the difference between jealousy and resentment. Someone who's jealous can be resentful, but not everyone who's resentful is jealous.
Jealous is when someone has something you want, or would like to attain. Resentment doesn't mean that you also want it, but could just mean that you don't think they deserve it, or maybe that you think someone else deserved it more.
If you see a competition and think that Person A deserves to win, but Person B wins, you might be resentful of the winner.
You can also be jealous but still happy for someone. Yeah maybe you busted your ass baking that cake, and your rival won. You wanted to win, but whatever, good for them still, they still delivered something that was good enough to win.
(Always reminds me of the dog drawing competition 1st vs 2nd place: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/comments/qywcen/winner_of_doggo_drawing_contest_won_on_likes/)
You can't really do that when resentful, because you think they didn't deserve the positive thing they got at all.
Not sure how accurate this is. But I also feel like resentment is more universal, it doesn't matter who you are, you can feel resentful of something or someone. If that's reasonable or not is another question. But jealousy is more "personal" about your own situation and life.
Tbh, it's also important to understand the more nuanced emotions when writing. Is a character resentful at something? Jealous? Maybe they're neither, and it's a third option.
I really feel like he would have a laughing fit from the second one

Napoleon suggested it to him, but didn't explain fully so Jean thinks it's a website and can't find other subreddits (it's for the best tho)

Now!! Imagine that Lyla Bee actually said, “Dada!” And pushes her hand on her nanny’s mouth and she’s just kissing on her little chubby hand. Lloyd is a puddle.
