Hello please reblog this if you're okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better

i understand why the ‘grizzled loner who slowly melts & improves their outlook on life when forced to take care of a kid’ trope is a male exclusive role, bc the optics of a grizzled loner woman healing by becoming a mother are maybe not so good, but every time i think abt a hypothetical female version of that trope i black out instantly. could we maybe just do it one time and all agree to be cool about it

You're looking for Marilla Cuthbert from the Anne of Green Gables series.

Never quite loses the sour edge to her, even as she loosens up and grows more comfortable with smiling and laughing. The scene after her brother (her and Anne's shared favorite person in the world) passes away and she and Anne have to comfort each other is a masterpiece in that grizzled "we're all each other has" feeling from a feminine place, and even though Marilla learns to laugh and smile more readily, she never fully goes maternal, never is referred to as Anne's mother. They're just each other's person.

Chinese people recreate traditional lanterns in old paintings for yuanxiaojie (lantern festival). Actually, back in the Song and Ming dynasties, lanterns were way more varied and way more finely made. People're still trying to get the modern versions up to that level. You can see loads of festival stuff like this in old paintings—bat kites, eagle lanterns, crane lanterns, goose lanterns, bat lanterns, Bagua lanterns, koi lanterns, "Standing Alone on the Ao Head(Number One Scholar)" lanterns, figure lanterns, toad lanterns, dolls, sheep lanterns, elephant cart lanterns, peach lanterns, giant floral lanterns, spinning lanterns, floral lanterns, rolling lanterns, bamboo horses, dog lanterns, rabbit lanterns, deer lanterns, fruit-and-melon lantern, eagle lantern, and "Kuixing Diandou" lantern (depicting The Star God of Literature and Examinations pointing to the Dipper).
