hey-hey all,

regarding some recently-deleted posts, please be mindful that the staff team is all for showing love and support for others. we want you guys to be there for one another, and recognize the value in having a community you can fall back on for reassurance through highs, but especially through lows.

but, we also need to be mindful of how we communicate our support for others. it's easy to fall into some bad habits that can, maybe counterintuitively, hurt more than they help. that's not to say that the term "suicide" is forbidden. i know it's a touchy subject, and the word itself kind of sticks to the roof of your mouth, but september is suicide prevention awareness month and it's good to be up front, and to use the proper term for this particular type of crisis scenario.

the problem (if you can call it that, but i don't think of it as a "problem" so much as a "misunderstanding") isn't that you guys are trying to help, or that your vocabulary is crass or offensive. please know that. i love that you guys help each other through rough patches.

our team is just worried for the possibility that users may feel pressure to act as crisis councilors, as opposed to as friends or those who would like to show support. this kind of pressure can have a negative effect on other peoples' mental health, especially in those individuals who do not have professional training in crisis counseling.

if you feel a fellow PMC user is in genuine crisis, that is, you believe they're in danger of harming themselves and/or others, please contact our team before you contact anyone else. report the comment/wallpost/forums post, or else make a private ticket and/or send a private message to our team. we regularly connect people with resources for help.

if you have any questions, please reach out to me or create a support ticket. Below are a couple of resources for those experiencing suicidal ideation or who are otherwise in crisis

today's skin remakes are....... plague knight and specter knight from shovel knight!! i liked both of these fairly-well when i made them but was really frustrated by the shape of the plague mask on plague knight (and im still not entirely happy w it but i think it's a step in the right direction!!)

with these remakes i was really trying to bring them closer in-line with the reference material (colors + design) while also making the shading more interesting to look at :]

(new versions on left, old versions on right)!

HAPPY PRIDE GUYS AND GHOULS AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING VERMICULES!!

i just wanna remind everyone that being nice and supporting other people is way cooler than being mean...... by like a lot. literally nobody benefits from hate. please be kind and respectful to one another! it's a low-low bar and some people manage to limbo right under like it's going out of style! (wags finger)

do your part to keep our community hate-free by reporting phobic content/conduct for what it is -- hate! and when you're done, feel free to celebrate with us by being open-minded and engaging positively with queer culture ✧˚

today's skin remakes are majoras wrath and auril frostmaiden!!! two more skins i wasn't super proud of when i posted them x many yrs ago... but now i think they're pretty spiffy :]

my fave part of remaking old skins is trying 2 squeeze more personality/detail into the face... i feel like it's the part of the skin u can express urself thru the most and the combination of all the traits and how theyre put together can really make a skin feel unique to that artist (eyes high or low? eyebrow/lash shape? eye size? 2x2? 1x1? bigger?)

i redid my micolash recently and im rlly happy with how it turned out cause i got a little more experimental with the face and i think it looks way more like him than it did b4!!!

i love to update skins without doing an update log entry so nobody realizes ive updated the skin until days/months/years later . . . it's like leaving behind little presents or easter eggs

i did these three this month!! they're ones i wasn't really happy with WHEN they were posted so getting to update them x many years later once ive developed my skillset more is soopa satisfying
