Nothing is stopping a shorter person from carrying their taller partner.

In some cases, it can even be easier. Shorter arms means the weight is closer to the body and thus easier to lift, and the lower center of gravity helps with stability. The square-cube law works in their favor, too. Their muscle mass might be a bit lower, but the reduced body mass more than makes up for it.

For some reason, I opened up the pool gallery today and found this here, but without a new post as is usually the case when I find something in the pool gallery.

I had already been following this dear series, and I would have been ecstatic to hear that it was returning to being updated.

Oh, someone updated their comment 19 hours ago. Did the bumping feature do that? Was that it? Well, I learned something important today. I already check the "no bump" option regularly, but I'll be especially responsible with that information in the future.

I'm in a bad mood now.

It threw me off too when I saw the pool at the top of the list. Pool history reveals it was an update to the pool description.

Added an AI gen tag because this is clearly almost entirely done by AI. Her hair changes between the closeup and full body image, the way the stuff is drawn that connects her neck to the post is not only nonsense but also lacks a consistent style, and there's AI gen artifacting in the bottom left of the image.

Respectfully I'm going to have to disagree. The cords on her neck just seem like they were drawn in a lineless style to save time (certainly not the first time I've seen artists do that for complicated objects like chains). Also, I'm genuinely not sure what the supposed 'AI gen artifacting' on the bottom left is... unless you're talking about the texture overlay near the floor, which is seen on multiple other parts of the artwork and is clearly a stylistic choice. The hair does change on the close-up, but the only main change is the lack of sidelocks, which could reasonably be an artist mistake or even an intentional choice to show off the cross-section better.

Honestly though, the thing that most strikes me as hand-drawn about the image is the lineart and coloring, especially if you look at it in full-res and zoom in. There are multiple parts of the art where the shading overlay bleeds over from one part to another (best example is probably the shoe highlight ending up on the skirt) and many white spots inside the lineart that aren't colored in properly. AI art *can* have messy-looking coloring, but these are not the forms it usually takes and are very human mistakes. Also, at a high resolution like this, you just can't really get this type of crispy textured lineart from AI unless you line over it yourself.

I'm not an expert of course and there could always be a chance it's traced over or referenced from AI, but I really don't think this should warrant the AI-generated tag without further proof, especially since this artist has had a clear style progression over years.
