why do humans have a built in "let me bother this animal" switch and why is it so funnnnn. like yes hmmm ☝️ i think i Will poke this cat

sanrio-stud

to be fair so do a bunch of other animals. for example

We think of humour as a distinctly human emotion, but some animals may also use it to strengthen their bonds.

bothering that animal is a beautiful kind of playing and having fun

Are your characters fucking in spite of The Horrors, or are they fucking because of The Horrors?

There is a third thing to consider.

Their fucking has caused The Horrors.

I know I say that I'm kinda nuts for doing the amount of visual research I do, but at the same time: Specificity is SO much more compelling and real feeling, and imo not getting references often makes things look more amateur.

Eg. drawing a sofa- my mental image of a sofa is something like this:

Like. Its a sofa. It works. But it's not very convincing, the pillows are kinda wrong at the back, and it's not really giving any information about the owner. Even if you want a basic sofa... What kind of basic.
