Wow lol that is an awesome selfie and I think you handled the situation (the makeup smearing) in the proper fashion :) Head held high - no shame in it if trolls get you. Trolls are everywhere, apparently, and probably the real life makeup smearing kind are the most benevolent of the lot. On the topic of art and writing (and thinking to your childhood coloring post as well) I think the most important thing is the doing. Easy to get hung up on what you are doing, on what it will become in the future, on what you want it to be become, on what an audience will think about it. The benefit for the soul doesn't depend on any of that. The benefit is the doing, and so my advice to myself and everyone else is always just do it (the creative thing(s)) even if (especially if) you haven't really "figured out" what it is.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, Carl! Yeah, there's trolls everywhere and I honestly think I look like a cute kind of troll here myself, haha!

Let's keep on doing things and make the world a better place in the process! :>)

Yes I was waiting for story behind the image XD LoL sounds like a amusing festivities, though I'm sure there will be some over the top SJWs all over that. RAWR XD

Your carnival story sounds like what I started out doing (sans the black humour as I'm not good at that) except I ended up 2000 years in the future and it's not so dystopic (unless you consider our current times dystopic?). Hope you're able to get it to a shareable state much much sooner than I am XD

I hate Patreon's comment systems so I kind of avoid using it as much as possible XD Though if you want to do the exclusive/unlockable thing there would be a lot better than here for obvious reasons XD

Not sure if it was your comment but I decided to forget about Patreon and just share the ( process of my ) story on here.

I feel there's humor in your stories too but I just don't know whether I would call it black or not. It might be some sort of color blindness ;>)

I myself don't even try to think 2000 years in the future but it's fun when others do and share these worlds with me.

Have an awesome weekend!

I think you should seize the wave of inspiration, and write write write ! Inspiration is its own divine spirit and you should always give it room to breathe when it strikes !

Also that story about the selfie is very adorable :D What a charming photo of yourself, after being smeared with black face paint :D :D :D

You're right, I should and I did. Just wrote again and decided to share it/ yesterday's writing on here. That's one of the beautiful things of this place. That you can share ( the process ) with an audience and receive feedback. It's so inspiring and can be a huge motivation.

Thanks for calling the troll like version of me charming, haha! :>)

sci-fi like, but without a lot of science. Think dystopian, taking place in a not too distant future, semi-realistic stuff with a certain amount of ( black? ) humor to it.

My favorite kind of fiction. And yeah, trolls "marking" people with black makeup could easily work with a Carnival story like you are describing. I look forward to hearing more about it!
