Something about Oranges and love 🍊
— I peel an orange, and I give you half. In the time it took to separate it, I fell in love with you again.

A thought: The poem 'Oranges' by Jean Little, but in the context of little MC and little Poldi. Just imagine little Poldi feeding little MC peeled oranges! He'll whine and make fun of them the whole time, but he'll still do it.
I peel oranges neatly. The sections come apart cleanly, perfectly, in my hands.
When MC peels an orange, they tear holes in in it. Juice squirts in all directions.
"Poldi," they say, "I don't know how you do it!"
MC is my best friend.
I hope they never learn how to peel oranges
...I will see myself out.
That poem is so lovely!!
And you are so right, that really does fit Poldi. Childhood memories and feelings are funny things. Rivalries can loose their teeth and small moments of affection become mountains in the landscapes our minds create.
The MC meant a great deal to Poldi.
And that's all I'm going to let myself say about that!

From Anna by Jean Little
I first read From Anna in 8th grade (I think). I loved it and a few years later I bought it and now read it every once in a while. While doing some research I found out that there was a second book. I just bought it yesterday. I read it and loved it!

These books are fiction but an effort was made to be historically accurate. The first book is when the Nazi’s reign in Germany started. The second book is when WW2 started. *Warning to delicate people! A certain word that is frowned upon now was used in the second book because it was a common word to use back then. So if you can’t take someone trying to be historically accurate. Don’t read the second book.
The books are about a young girl named Anna and her family. The first is about her move to Canada from Germany. The second book is about her first year in high school.
I hope you enjoy these books as I do. Even if they are technically children’s books.😁

I love the little AU that skinny people live in where they have the same problems as fat people and can relate to the Experience. artists references are only for fat bodies, artists that do draw thin bodies are getting DMs from people going like "omg I'm so happy I discovered your art, it's so rare to find an artist who draws small bodies!!!!! for the first time I see people who look like me 😭😭" skinny people going "omggg I finally found a clothing brand that sells nice dresses in XS, I wish they weren't so so overpriced though" skinny people getting home from the doctor's office and collapsing on the couch to tell their roommate that their doc spent the whole appointment quizzing them about their diet and they were told they need to gain 40 pounds. but the doctor didn't want to check out the weird scraping sound they make when they breathe in, just that they should probably gain weight first. skinny celebrities and influencers spending thousands of dollars getting plastic surgery to transfer fat to their stomachs and jawlines. all the main characters in tv shows are fat. when you watch cartoons as a kid, there's one skinny character, and they're really dumb and annoying and get laughed at by the other characters. they're a loser and never get a boyfriend/girlfriend. the same clothes that are stylish when worn by fat people just get you made fun of. desirable romantic leads and manic pixie dream girls twirl their hair and say "yeeah I've just been fat my whole life, I just never lose weight no matter what I eat hehe" and this is an extremely endearing and attractive trait.
