Anthropomorphization is fine, sexualization is not. Guidelines like these are just lines in the sand that live somewhere between fine behaviors and terribly offensive ones. If you think you’re close enough to the line to ask if your toe is hanging off the edge, just take a step back. Personally, I’d avoid “having a complicated (but always productive) relationship [with Julia]” simply because I’ve seen a number of highly distasteful statements in the past that lie just a step or two over the line from there… and I want nothing to do with that, either in prose that I write or in path it points others to continue down.
