RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Hope you're doing better now! Sounds like no fun. I'll send good vibes your way! 🙏
I enjoy gardening, cleaning/tidying things up, vacuuming, basically making everything look neat and fresh! My parents fondly remember that when I was little, I would randomly clean the bathroom and they would always remark how they knew I'd cleaned it because they could see the reflection of their faces on the tiles. I write from time to time, mostly short stories that would fall under the definition of creepypastas or horror short stories.
I also love drawing, here's some of my work! No AI is used in my process, and you can look at the progress pictures I've uploaded to get a gist of my technique!
I've used Paint Tool SAI 1 for as long as I've been drawing digitally, and I honestly wouldn't settle for anything else! It's very lightweight and also old, but it's a very good app for drawing.
Doing better, thanks, not out of the woods yet.
Your art is pretty amazing!
Glad to hear! Take it easy and be sure to rest up as much as you can! Also thank you so much! I'm glad you like it!
