Hey... go read Reciprocity by @sigruned if you haven't already. It's phenomenal. bonus sketches under the cut

I sketched this in procreate initially cause I didn't think I would colour it. Ended up bringing it into sai and lost a bit of the emotion from the original sketch by having to redraw it, but oh well. 😔 Also a zoom in on the doodles in the corner inspired by another part of the fic's most recent chapter:

I support Ruby shaking Oscar (and/or Oz) like a pringles can whenever they're being cagey little jerks.

This screenshot from the upcoming video game is a HUGE win for me and my "Mutant Mayhem Leo meditates" propaganda campaign 😂

I have literally been writing a fic based around the idea of Leo meditating since the month the movie came out. I am beside myself with joy right now 😭

Let us give masculinity back its flowering wand of reciprocal relationship with the natural world. Let us call Dionysus to the gates of our cities and homes. A man who can dance with plants and honor beasts, a man who can be a woman and an androgen and an animal, is more than a gender. He is a celebration. A hive of humming bees. A secret network of fungus ready to erupt as the air moistens. A murmuration of birds. A cluster of grapes. A throng of singing women. A magician.

a scene from @the-peak-tmnt’s wonderful fic Reciprocity! it's very sketchy as I don't have time right now to fully ink and color it, but I like how it turned out!

"I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man on the Disc," she said sweetly.

Mort was hurt by this. It was one thing not to want to marry someone, but quite another to be told they didn't want to marry you.

If anyone conceives that he is loved by another, and believes that he has given no cause for such love, he will love that other in return.

In a healthy sexual relationship, BOTH partners should be the active partners and the partners with the power, in initiation, in decision-making, and when it comes down to actual sexual activity. Even if you're role-playing during sex, and there literally is a top and a bottom, both partners should still be active partners, with equal say, value and weight. In a healthy sexual relationship, everyone having sex is in charge, not just one person.

If you’re worried about asserting yourself, about stepping up and talking about what you really want and need, about being in charge just as much as your partner is -- or about threatening your relationship by doing so; if you feel threatened or usurped by a partner doing those things, step back and evaluate the situation. Are you really ready to be in an intimate relationship with someone else or not? Is your partner? Are you involved with someone who’s really not right or appropriate for you? Are you ready to make full allowances for someone else’s needs and wants and learn to work with theirs, even when it’s hard or disappointing? Do you feel confident enough in yourself to both assert your own needs and desires AND to make some compromises with them sometimes? Do you feel secure and safe enough with the person you’re with to screw up sometimes and deal with that? All of those things are worth looking at to be sure that you’re both able to share the wheel.

Simple and healthy breakfast recipe that is both nutritious and delicious -

Avocado Toast with Egg

Ingredients:

- 1 ripe avocado

- 2 slices of whole grain bread

- 2 eggs

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs

Instructions:

1. Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

2. While the bread is toasting, mash the ripe avocado in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.

3. In a non-stick skillet, cook the eggs to your liking (fried, scrambled, poached, or boiled).

4. Spread the mashed avocado onto the toasted bread slices.

5. Top each avocado toast with a cooked egg.

6. Season with additional salt and pepper, and add any optional toppings of your choice.

7. Serve the avocado toast with egg hot and enjoy your healthy and nutritious breakfast!

This breakfast recipe is high in fiber, healthy fats, and protein, making it a satisfying and balanced meal to start your day. Avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while eggs are a great source of protein and essential nutrients. Whole grain bread adds fiber and complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.

Relationship among all things appears to be complex and reciprocal — always at least two-way, back-and-forth. It seems that nothing is single in this universe, and nothing goes one way.
