“The baby Titans were the cutest!”

A happy Brainy to counter the recent Brainy angst I saw on tumblr

child handling for the childless nurse

My current job has me working with children, which is kind of a weird shock after years in environments where a “young” patient is 40 years old.  Here’s my impressions so far:

Birth - 1 year: Essentially a small cute animal.  Handle accordingly; gently and affectionately, but relying heavily on the caregivers and with no real expectation of cooperation.

Age 1 - 2: Hates you.  Hates you so much.  You can smile, you can coo, you can attempt to soothe; they hate you anyway, because you’re a stranger and you’re scary and you’re touching them.  There’s no winning this so just get it over with as quickly and non-traumatically as possible.

Age 3 - 5: Nervous around medical things, but possible to soothe.  Easily upset, but also easily distracted from the thing that upset them.  Smartphone cartoons and “who wants a sticker?!!?!?” are key management techniques.

Age 6 - 10: Really cool, actually.  I did not realize kids were this cool.  Around this age they tend to be fairly outgoing, and super curious and eager to learn.  Absolutely do not babytalk; instead, flatter them with how grown-up they are, teach them some Fun Gross Medical Facts, and introduce potentially frightening experiences with “hey, you want to see something really cool?”

Age 11 - 14: Extremely variable.  Can be very childish or very mature, or rapidly switch from one mode to the other.  At this point you can almost treat them as an adult, just… a really sensitive and unpredictable adult.  Do not, under any circumstances, offer stickers.  (But they might grab one out of the bin anyway.)

Age 15 - 18: Basically an adult with severely limited life experience.  Treat as an adult who needs a little extra education with their care.  Keep parents out of the room as much as possible, unless the kid wants them there.  At this point you can go ahead and offer stickers again, because they’ll probably think it’s funny.  And they’ll want one.  Deep down, everyone wants a sticker.

Rose here,first of all i like to apologise for my bad English it’s not my first language,

now for the stuff I’m about to talk of I seen other people talking about it too and I’m glad it has began to be more spoken about. the infantilisation off Giyuu tomioka, it has been bothering me for a while,

1. Giyuu is not a uwu depressed baby how needs to be taken care of HES A GROWN ADULT no sanemi and obanai aren’t “evil bullies” Giyuu can protect himself, he is not defenceless stop acting like hes a baby in need of protection.

2.giyuu being “autistic coded” since I’m autistic myself I’m gonna talk about it,people for some reason like to infantilize characters that the fandom see as “autistic coded” it’s a big problem and we need to talk about it.i myself have been multiple times been infantalized for being autistic, since they see autistic people as “slow” or “kid like” they like to act like we can’t take care of ourselves. another character victim of this is papyrus from undertale, even do he’s a strong character and can take care of himself still gets infantilised, like Giyuu for somtimes not getting “social stuff”stop infantilising “autistic coded characters” pls.

3.stop making female characters “mother figures” to male characters. What I mean by that is have seen people make Shinubo a motherly figure to Giyuu, do I even have to explain myself why this is shit? First stop making Shinubo either be a mean bitch to Giyuu or a mother to him it’s annoying and out ofcharacter.Giyuu doesn’t need a *mommy to take care of him” and stop making all female characters “mommies” just because their a girl doesn’t mean you need to make them a motherly figure to all the male characters.

Well I’m done now hope this wasn’t too long

rose out,

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.

i spent way too much time on this

It disturbs me how many people don’t know the anatomy of a pen/pencil/brush/stylus/tool of choice when held by an artist. I would have thought this was common knowledge!

There is a tube inside your tool of choice that is filled with art. When you first pick it up for the day, there’s a very small blockage (the red part in the diagram that I have helpfully provided for you) of bad or awkward art that has sunk down and settled near the tip. The only way to get rid of it is to draw it out onto a page/canvas.

Once you do that, you can get to the good art! It’s totally normal. It happens to everyone. That’s why people do warmups before they draw - they know that awkward art is lurking right near the tip, so they’re getting rid of it.

New artists especially seem to not know that it’s there, and sometimes they might think their bad art blockage is never ending, but if you keep drawing, you’ll get to the good art. Sometimes that awkward art blockage can build up a little bit if you go a long time without drawing, too. Just keep going, though. I promise you that you can break through it, if you just keep going.
