“A Long-term Study Of Children Raised By Lesbians Found That These Children Were Less Likely To Suffer

“A long-term study of children raised by lesbians found that these children were less likely to suffer from physical and sexual abuse than were their peers who were raised by heterosexuals. This is thought to be due to the absence of adult heterosexual men in the households (Gartrell, Bos, & Goldberg, 2010). Girls raised by lesbians tend to have higher self-esteem, show more maturity and tolerance than their peers, and are older when they have their first heterosexual contact (Gartrell et al., 2005, 2010). Children raised by same-sex parents seem to be less constrained by traditional gender roles; boys are less aggressive, and girls are more inclined to consider nontraditional careers, such as doctor, lawyer, or engineer (Gartrell et al., 2005; Stacey & Biblarz, 2001). Over the course of more than 20 years, scientists studied the psychological adjustment of 78 teenagers who were raised by lesbian mothers. Compared to age-matched counterparts raised by heterosexual parents, these adolescents were rated higher in social, academic, and total competence, and lower in social problems, rule-breaking, aggression, and externalizing problem behavior (Gartrell & Bos, 2010). There are fewer studies of children raised by two men, but gay fathers are more likely than straight fathers to put their children before their career, to make big changes in their lives to accommodate a child, and to strengthen bonds with their extended families after becoming fathers (Bergman, Rubio, Green, & Padrone, 2010).” ~ Martha Rosenthal, Human Sexuality: From Cells to Society, p.247.

catra things idk

glimmer: “so i looked it up, and having an animal companion technically qualifies you as a princess.” catra: “i will literally eat your entire face.”

the princesses have to start the whole “teach the horde kid how to be a person” process all over again

catra: “wtf is a brunch?”

adora: “it’s a part of a tree, catra.”

scorpia: “wait, i thought it’s something you eat.”

adora: “you can eat tree branches!?!”

bow has an entire album filled with photos of catra doing cute cat things and has a will prepared in case she ever finds out he has it. adora contributes most of the content.

perfuma goes around etheria saying how great a meditation buddy catra is but catra doesn’t have the heart to tell her that she’s just napping the whole time

adora spread a accurate rumor that catra was the little spoon and everyone gave her so much shit for it she went off the grid with melog for two whole days.

catra brainstorms with adora on how to get mermista to warm up to her after the whole salineas thing, and what eventually does it is helping mermista take down the hit man who’s been stalking sea hawk for like three weeks.

mermista: “she’s like…really good at setting things on fire.”

adora: “so i’m chaperoning all of your friend dates ok?”

catra has a whole wall in her closet devoted to finding out netossa’s weakness because she won’t let the spray bottle incident go

an entire princess alliance meeting was devoted to deciding whether catra should grow her hair out again and it got so ugly they had to throw the minutes out.

afterwards, catra asks melog how hard it would be to create an illusion that would make her look bald for the next meeting

the only princess that catra is scared of is frosta and she will take that shit to her grave

One of the key components of klance that I think is often missed in fics or other fan content is the fact that both Keith and Lance have to be equally invested in the smallest most insignificant bullshit. Too often I see Keith being depicted as begrudgingly going along with lances rivalry stuff and you are fools if you depict him like that. He is just as invested, if not more in the insignificant bullshit as Lance is.

Stop depicting Keith as a begrudging participant and start depicting him as what he truly is: big of heart and dumb of ass

Townscaper

Townscaper is not so much a game, as much as a surprisingly satisfying architectural diversion inviting “players” to build quaint island towns evocative of the wondrous worlds of a Studio Ghibli animation setting.

this is prolly gonna come out as word vomit but:

ndrv3 simulation au but its similar to the hunger games?

like once everyone emerges and finishes healing… it’s interview time baby. fans gotta know, what was it like in the game! what kind of relationships did you form, what ones did you break? how did this affect you? and what happened during rehab, how did waking up feel? do you miss your lost memories? how does it feel to not know who your family is? so many questions and you must entertain!

i feel like those who’d died would get a handful of interviews after the game ends but after a certain point they just stop. after all, if they died how great were they really? the weak are quite boring after all. no, what people really want to know about is the survivors! the romance, the drama of it all! interviews, shows, cons, and so much more! the fans are hungry for answers and the team + tsumugi can only give away so much. idk how team danganronpa could even enforce them to go there (“you signed a contract, you’re our property, after all.”) but it’s inch restin to think abt.

Confession: An action RPG involving the V3 survivors would legitimately be pretty cool, with them helping out in certain “classes”, with Shuichi learning more combat/equipment forging skills.
