#Bonktober69 #9 : Bodypaint

I often depict Spark as a calm woman ( or overprotective with Solaris), but she has a rough past which made her very "Art Oriented" to deal with her life.

I totally see her practicing bodypaint from times to time!

#art #ascenced #OC

black and white illustration of Spark. Her dark skin is partially covered wwith paint, making a night sky, with stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. She's holding a paintbrush and a palette, s. The background is a textured pattern

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

Artwork showing a frazzled looking possum holding onto an orb/crystal ball with the text " you are not predicting the future. You have anxiety!"

It's always very funny to me when you see a clip of a cartoon online and there's some random username watermarked on it. So obnoxious lol, like no one thinks Tom & Jerry belongs to Best_Toons_Daily, and no one cares that you uploaded the video.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Noooo, soda is just one of the bigger contributors. There's unfortunately a bunch of dietary stuff to watch out for, and sometimes you're more predisposed to it. I used to drink a ton of iced tea, that's what did it for me the first time.

Might be how you have your moderation settings configured? For me it's been saying "1 label has been placed on this content (Sexually suggestive)" from minute one

I had a slight panic when I first posted it and saw it was being hidden, cuz of course I'm just thinking, "great, even less people will see this now." Well, joke's on them, I think this one ended up getting more love than it would have under normal circumstances lol. Thank you ❤️❤️

Niko @nikoanesti.newgrounds.com · 8h

A couple times in the past, I sent an appeal immediately when something was auto flagged and I was happy to report it was removed fairly quickly. Like, 10 minutes. And that was on stuff I could see why it could mistakenly trigger it. So I'm baffled this still has a label a full day later...

From this day last year.
If I had waited a little longer, I could've just done this on the Switch and gotten a much clearer capture lol, but I kinda like how it looks this way

I've had kidney stones multiple times so I know how bad they can be...but I also have no doubt in my mind that Dolly Parton is far stronger than I am. 🫡

I seem to remember a lot of fan games in the late 90s/early 00s using sprites from Mario & Wario, despite its obscurity. Or maybe because of it. If the creators wanted to be cool like "look, I know about this Japan-only Mario game!" I mean I probably would.

when I played it, I don't remember thinking it was bad at all, but I also
1) never fully finished it
2) don't really remember a lot of specifics
3) don't care enough to try the remake
so...maybe that says it all actually...
