Live and Love under Patooties' peculiar light
expressing the self is important mannn if I can help bring the potential out with this then I’m all for it - A-
Anonymous: wait, does it need to be art, as in writing, music, drawing, or also stuff like just making OCs? cause people such as my self can't draw very well, but have characters.
Ideally I want people who got original content, who are thinking of making stories and the such, to give each other support man, promote creativeness between peope who understand the struggle.
Y’know, like… like Marty did to his dad in Back to the Future
…idk why that was my go-to example :T
Anyway, I guess if you only got the seed of an idea joining in would give ya some tools to expand upon it so sure, OC makers are welcome :v
thinking about making a discord server for insecure creators to talk with other creators about their projects to help spot holes and/or get ideas going and stuff
Ok then here’s the basic idea:
You go in, pitch your OC or story ideas and the other users give their input about what they think you’re doing right and what they think may be improved.
Bear in mind that if you want in you must both be open and receptive to critics and keep your own feedback from being hurtful or disrespectful and all that noise to keep the whole thing civil.
Now… how to go about inviting people tho? should general public be allowed or just creators?
I say that it should be primarily for creators but give them the rights to invite a group on the general public so you can gather opinions from both creators and audience alike.
Or maybe I just want a banana, I might have improvised there a bit
ok then imma start with creators and let them decide what parts of their audience is discreet enough for keeping WIPs secret and such
If you create arts raise your hand - A-

Friendly reminder that 1200 calories is the recommended amount for a 5 year old
this hit me.
another fact is that 500 calories isn’t even enough for a new born.
why did I go so long convinced that going over 500 in a day was the end of the world?
Another friendly reminder that the United States used 1,000 calorie diets as torture for political prisoners and justified it using the diet industry.

In a footnote to a May 10, 2005, memorandum from the Office of Legal Council, the Bush attorney general’s office argued that restricting the caloric intake of terrorist suspects to 1000 calories a day was medically safe because people in the United States were dieting along those lines voluntarily.
“While detainees subject to dietary manipulation are obviously situated differently from individuals who voluntarily engage in commercial weight-loss programs, we note that widely available commercial weight-loss programs in the United States employ diets of 1000 kcal/day for sustain periods of weeks or longer without requiring medical supervision,” read the footnote. “While we do not equate commercial weight loss programs and this interrogation technique, the fact that these calorie levels are used in the weight-loss programs, in our view, is instructive in evaluating the medical safety of the interrogation technique.”
Another another friendly reminder that the Minnesota Starvation Experiment subjected adult men who were VOLUNTEERS to 1,560 calorie diets and the psychological effects were so profound that one volunteer cut three of his own fingers off and could not remember why.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experiment
These men were volunteers who knew exactly what they would be going through and when it would end, and who believed they were doing it for a good and moral reason (the research was used to help rehabilitate victims of starvation and famine at the end of WWII).
And these are the things we are expected to engage in FOREVER to stay at a “healthy” weight.
Reading about the Minnesota Starvation experiment was my wake-up call. It was what kicked me out of my eating disorder. The guy missing three fingers, whatever his name was, he was the last straw for me.
Scared me so fucking bad I stopped restricting my food that day, and never went back to it.
In case any of you needed to see this again.
