Hello, we're Cyl, Soleil or Para(dox)! Collectively known at The Bionic Machine or Artificial Paradox. We're a traumagenic system and we enjoy meeting new people! I, Wheatley (the one writing this), will be the main one posting here (will be stated who if otherwise). If you'd like to know more about us, then check out our pronouns.cc!
We're a self-taught artist and we enjoy many fandoms.. currently being Dandy's World (we do not support the creator), UT/DR, Portal, FNaF and a plethora of others we can't name as there's too many!!!! We tend to put most of our art on our Toyhou.se so do check that out if you so desire

do you wanna know how I make cool flags like these?
Well LOCK IN because I'm about to teach you :D
you will need ibis paint for this ( ◜‿◝ )
1. CONCEPT
I usually start with a concept. this could be anything. it could be the definition or the colours I'd like to use. sometimes it's just "wow, I wanna make a flag with a cow on it, cus I like cows" it doesn't have to be super specific, just an idea.
For this demonstration I will use the concept of a camera.
2. SYMBOL
You don't have to have a symbol on your flag but I like to. there's so many websites you can use to find PNG's, I'd recommend thenounproject as it gives you the option for lineart or solid PNG's.
3. COLOURS
This is my favourite step, I love colours so much. if you don't know how to make a good colour palette or if you simply don't want to, (there is no shame in that, don't worry) you can always find something on Pinterest, Pinterest is your friend!!
I usually use a colour palette with 7 colours because my template has 7 stripes, but you can use however many you'd like!
4. ASSEMBLING THE BASE
We now have the beginnings of the base of our flag. we will put everything on top of this. I like to keep my bases relatively simple so that way I can put as much detail on top as I'd like without it getting messy.
Now we have our coloured base! you can have a gradient going up or down or going outwards or inwards or you can have any matter of combinations! it's really up to you
5. THE SYMBOL (again)
Once you've imported your symbol you can resize it and put it wherever you'd like on your flag. (though the centre is typically the default)
We are now done with the bare bones of the flag. now we get to do the fun part.
6. THE FUN PART
I like to use frames to add some interest to the edge of the flag so it isnt a harsh line, because I find it boring and I want some interest!
Depending on the vibe I either use the spiky frame or the scalloped frame to change how the stripes are shaped. you can add then to all the stripes to give a cool effect. for example, JamJoule (link) uses the scalloped frame on the top stripes and the spiky frame on the bottom one.
This is another way I make my flags look nice, you'll see this on nearly all of my flags. I like to colour these rows one of it's neighboring colours so it stays cohesive, you can use another colour with a significantly lighter or darker hue to add contrast.
7. THE COMPLETION (link to the flag post)
All thats left to do is give it a definition if you havent already and give it a name.
I love a good portmanteau so I usually mash two words together, ideally one that ends with the same letters that the other word starts with and boom, you're done!
I hope this was a good explanation and I hope it leads to even just one person making a flag. if there is anything you'd like me to clarify, please feel free to ask and I will try my hardest to explain!!
Small reminder that DID is often a covert disorder and overt DID is actually pretty rare. A person could go their whole life without knowing they have DID because that's the point. You do not need to know who you are all the time or who's fronting or need to feel like you're a faker because you act the same pretty much all the time. You do not need to act drastically different between your headmates to be valid.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
my friend cain got me into pokefarm recently and this happened
truly a delight : ) happened out of nowhere from a lab egg and i couldn't be happier ! usually not a fan of pink so i don't tend to like pink shinies (not that this one is bad, just not my thing) but i think Marie has changed my mind on the dunsparce lines shiny .. life is beautiful
